Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 10, 2020, Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Internalization Agreement (the “Internalization Agreement”) with its external manager, Pine River Capital Management L.P. (the “Manager”), pursuant to which the Company will internalize its management function (the “Internalization”) effective as of 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2020. Prior to the Internalization, the Manager will continue to provide services to the Company pursuant to the Management Agreement, dated June 28, 2017, between the Company and the Manager (as amended, the “Management Agreement”). Upon consummation of the Internalization, among other things, (i) the Management Agreement will be terminated, (ii) the Company will no longer pay management or incentive fees to the Manager for any period following the Internalization and (iii) the Company will become an internally managed real estate investment trust. In connection with the Internalization, the Company will make a one-time cash payment of $44.5 million to the Manager. As previously disclosed, the Company has entered into employment agreements with the Company’s senior management team. In accordance with the terms of the Internalization Agreement, the Company also intends to extend offers of employment to other employees of the Manager or its affiliates across a variety of functions who support the Company’s business.

 

The terms of the Internalization were negotiated and unanimously approved by a committee of independent members of the Company’s board of directors, and the amount payable by the Company to the Manager in connection with the Internalization was determined by an arbitral panel at the conclusion of the Company’s previously disclosed arbitration process with the Manager.

 

The information set forth herein with respect to the Internalization Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Internalization Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

 

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 with respect to the termination of the Management Agreement is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.02.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On October 7, 2020, the Company issued a press release providing an update on the arbitration process with the Manager and, on October 12, 2020, the Company issued a press release describing the Internalization and related matters. Copies of the press releases are included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this report and incorporated by reference herein.
