• Charter Amendment Permits Below-NAV Issuance

  An amendment to the Declaration of Trust now explicitly allows the Board of Trustees to issue common shares, preferred shares, and subscription rights at a price that may be less than the net asset value (NAV) per share. This removes the prior restriction requiring issuance at or above NAV.

• Potential for Significant Shareholder Dilution

  With the company's common shares currently trading at a 29.72% discount to NAV ($16.53 market price vs. $23.52 NAV as of April 29, 2026), this new authority significantly increases the risk of dilution for existing shareholders in future capital raises.

• Automatic Shelf Registration Filed

  The N-2ASR registers an indeterminate number of common shares, preferred shares, and subscription rights for future offerings on an immediate, continuous, or delayed basis, providing flexibility for capital raising.

The filing of this N-2ASR includes a significant amendment to Bluerock Private Real Estate Fund's Declaration of Trust. This amendment grants the Board of Trustees the explicit authority to issue new common shares, preferred shares, and subscription rights at a price that may be less than the net asset value (NAV) per share. This is a material change from the previous requirement that shares be issued at not less than NAV. Given that the fund's common shares are currently trading at a substantial discount to NAV (approximately 29.72% as of April 29, 2026), this new authority introduces a heightened risk of significant dilution for existing shareholders in future capital raises. While the N-2ASR itself is a routine shelf registration for future offerings, the embedded charter amendment is a critical governance change with potentially negative implications for shareholder value.
