• Finalized $250 Million Preferred Share Offering

  The company is offering up to 25 million Series A and Series B Convertible and Perpetual Preferred Shares, with an aggregate liquidation preference of $250 million at $10.00 per share. Net proceeds to the company are estimated at $227.5 million.

• Convertible Preferred Shares with 7.00% Dividend

  The preferred shares carry a fixed annual dividend rate of 7.00% ($0.70 per share per year), payable monthly. They are convertible into common shares at the holder's option semi-monthly, or at the issuer's option after two years.

• Significant Dilution Risk for Common Shareholders

  The filing explicitly states there is no cap on the number of common shares that can be issued upon conversion, warning that a lower common share price at conversion would lead to greater dilution. This is particularly relevant as common shares currently trade at a significant discount to NAV.

• Use of Proceeds for General Corporate Purposes

  Proceeds from the offering are intended to acquire investments, make distributions to shareholders, pay expenses, repay outstanding indebtedness, and for other general working capital purposes.

auto_awesomeAnalysis

Bluerock Private Real Estate Fund has finalized the terms for an offering of up to 25 million Series A and Series B Convertible and Perpetual Preferred Shares, with an aggregate liquidation preference of $250 million. This prospectus supplement (424B5) follows the N-2ASR registration filed on April 30, 2026, providing the specific pricing and terms of the offering. The net proceeds to the company are estimated at $227.5 million, which will be used for investments, distributions, debt repayment, and general working capital. While the capital raise provides significant financial flexibility, the filing explicitly warns of substantial dilution risk for existing common shareholders, as there is no cap on the number of common shares that can be issued upon conversion, especially if conversions occur when common shares trade at a discount to Net Asset Value (NAV). The common shares currently trade at a notable discount to their NAV ($16.26 market price vs. $23.52 NAV as of May 1, 2026).
