Other Events.

On September 29, 2025, Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it priced its private offering (the “Offering”) of $550 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.750% unsecured senior notes due 2031 (the “Notes”), which was upsized from the previously announced $500 million aggregate principal amount. The Notes priced at 100.0% of the principal amount and the settlement of the Offering is expected to occur on October 14, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. A copy of such press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Company intends to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the Offering to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, recently completed or future eligible green and/or social projects. Net proceeds allocated to previously incurred costs associated with eligible green and/or social projects will be available for the repayment of indebtedness previously incurred. Pending full allocation of an amount equal to the net proceeds to eligible green and/or social projects, the Company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s repurchase facilities.

The Notes were offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibit hereto, is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to purchase any of the Notes or any other securities.
