Using a master trust structure for real estate transactions pioneered by Kutak Rock LLP in 2005, a team of Denver attorneys recently acted as issuer’s counsel to STORE Capital Corporation, a private REIT, in connection with the issuance by its subsidiary, STORE Master Funding I LLC, of $229.5 million net lease mortgage notes. The STORE subsidiary is a bankruptcy remote, special purpose financing entity. The notes were rated A (sf) and BBB (sf) by Standard & Poor’s and purchased by institutional investors. The collateral for these notes consisted of 132 commercial real estate properties across various industry sectors, including related rents due under triple-net leases with the properties’ tenants. The master trust structure permits additional collateral to be added to the pool at a later date and also the issuance of additional notes in the future secured by the larger collateral pool.
