On March 13, 2025, BofA Securities, Inc. (“BOAS”), Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“Morgan Stanley”), J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“JPMS”), Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WFS”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citi”), Academy Securities, Inc. (“Academy”) and Drexel Hamilton, LLC (“Drexel”) entered into an agreement, dated as of March 13, 2025, among Banc of America Merrill Lynch Commercial Mortgage Inc. (the “Registrant”), as depositor, BOAS, Morgan Stanley, JPMS, WFS, Citi, Academy and Drexel as underwriters (BOAS, Morgan Stanley, JPMS, WFS, Citi, Academy and Drexel, collectively in such capacity, the “Underwriters”), and BANA (the “Underwriting Agreement”), an executed version of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1, with respect to the sale of the Publicly Offered Certificates (as defined below) scheduled to occur on or about March 27, 2025.  The Publicly Offered Certificates are expected to have an aggregate initial principal amount of $761,952,000.

On or about March 27, 2025, a series of mortgage pass-through certificates, entitled Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2025-BNK49 (the “Certificates”), is expected to be issued by BANK 2025-BNK49, a New York common law trust (the “Issuing Entity”), pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and dated and effective as of March 1, 2025 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Registrant, as depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association (“Midland”), as master servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as special servicer, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as certificate administrator and as trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer.

Each Intercreditor Agreement is attached as an exhibit hereto, as described in the following table. Moreover, certain of such whole loans will not be serviced pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, but will instead be serviced pursuant to a different servicing agreement (each, a “Non-Serviced PSA”). Each such Non-Serviced PSA is attached as an exhibit hereto, as described in the following table. For a description of the servicing of the affected whole loans under such Non-Serviced PSAs, see “POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” in the Prospectus described below.
