1. Organization and Business Purpose

Oaktree Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on July 27, 2017 as a Maryland corporation and intends to maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company seeks to invest primarily in well-located, high quality commercial real estate assets that generate strong current cash flow and could further appreciate in value through moderate leasing and repositioning strategies. Moreover, to a lesser extent, the Company invests in real estate-related investments, including private loans and traded real estate-related securities that will help maintain liquidity. The Company is externally managed by Oaktree Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), an affiliate of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. On January 9, 2018, the Company was capitalized with a $200,000 investment by an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Company has registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (the “SEC”), an offering of up to $1,600,000,000 in shares in its primary offering and up to $400,000,000 in shares pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan (the “Offering”). The Company is selling any combination of the four classes of shares of its common stock, Class T shares, Class S shares, Class D shares and Class I shares, with a dollar value up to the maximum offering amount. The share classes have different upfront selling commissions and ongoing stockholder servicing fees.

As of December 6, 2019, the Company had satisfied the minimum offering requirement and the Company’s board of directors had authorized the release of proceeds from escrow. As of such date, the escrow agent released gross proceeds of approximately $150.0 million (including approximately $86.9 million that was funded by Oaktree

Fund GP I, L.P.

) to the Company in connection with the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock. The purchase price per share for each class of common stock in the Offering will vary and will generally equal the Company’s prior month’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share, as determined monthly, plus applicable upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company owned four investments in real estate, two investments in real estate-related loans and eight investments in floating-rate commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”).
