~~Disclosure~~(a) ~~from~~The ~~CWCapital~~following ~~Asset~~is ~~Management~~a ~~LLC,~~list of documents filed as ~~special~~part ~~servicer~~of this Report on Form 10-D:

~~From time to time, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company~~ (~~“CWCAM”~~99.1), is Monthly areport ~~party~~distributed to ~~lawsuits~~holders ~~and other legal proceedings as part~~ of ~~its duties as a special servicer (e.g., enforcement of loan obligations) and/or arising in~~ the ~~ordinary~~certificates ~~course~~issued ofby ~~business.~~Benchmark ~~Other~~2018-B1 ~~than~~Mortgage ~~as set forth in the following paragraphs~~Trust, ~~there~~relating ~~are currently no legal proceedings pending, and no legal proceedings known~~ to bethe ~~contemplated~~March ~~by governmental authorities~~17, ~~against CWCAM or of which any of its property is the subject, that are material to the certificateholders~~2026 distribution.

On December 1, 2017, a complaint against CWCAM and others was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York styled as CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd. v. CWCapital Investments LLC, et al., No. 17-cv-9463 (~~the “Original Complaint”~~102). ABS ~~The~~Asset ~~gravamen~~Data ofFile the Original Complaint alleged breaches of a contract and fiduciary duties by CWCAM’s affiliate, CWCapital Investments LLC in its capacity as collateral manager for the collateralized debt obligation transaction involving CWCapital Cobalt Vr, Ltd. In total, there are 14 counts pled in the Original Complaint. Of those 14, 5 claims were asserted against CWCAM for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, conversion and unjust enrichment. On May 23, 2018, the Original Complaint was dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On June 28, 2018, CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd. filed a substantially similar complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York styled as CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd. v. CWCapital Investments LLC, et al., Index No. 653277/2018 (~~the “New Complaint”). The gravamen of the New Complaint is the same as the previous complaint~~ filed in the United State District Court for the Southern District of New York. In total there are 16 counts pled in the New Complaint. Of those 16 counts, 5 claims were asserted against CWCAM for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, conversion and unjust enrichment, 1 count seeks a declaratory judgement that the plaintiff has the right to enforce the contracts in question and 1 count seeks an injunction requiring the defendants to recognize the plaintiff as ~~the~~Exhibit ~~directing~~102 holder for the trusts in question. On January 11, 2019, the plaintiff dismissed with prejudice the declaratory judgment and injunction counts. The New Complaint and related summons was not served on the defendants until July 13, 2018 and July 16, 2018. The plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction was denied by the court on July 31, 2018. On August 3, 2018, the defendants, including CWCAM, filed a motion to ~~dismiss~~ the New Complaint in its entirety. On August 20, 2019, the court entered an order granting defendants’ motion almost in its entirety, dismissing 11 of the 16 counts and partially dismissing 2 additional counts. Of the remaining counts, 2 are asserted against CWCAM for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. On September 19, 2019, CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd. filed a notice of appeal relating to the August 20, 2019 dismissal order and on September 26, 2019, filed an amended complaint against CWCI and CWCAM attempting to address deficiencies relating to certain of the claims dismissed by the August, 20, 2019 order. CWCI and CWCAM filed its Motion to Dismiss the amended complaint on October 28, 2019. The court heard argument on the Motion to Dismiss the amended complaint on January 22, 2020 and on October 23, 2020, the court granted the motion dismissing the amended claims. On November 30, 2020, CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd filed a notice of appeal relating to the October 23, 2020 dismissal order. On April 27, 2021, the First Department affirmed the dismissal as to claims against CWCAM that were part of the August 20, 2019 dismissal, but reversed the dismissal of two counts for breach of the Collateral Management Agreement against CWCI. CWCI sought leave to file an appeal of the decision. The plaintiff also sought leave to appeal the dismissal of the claims against CWCAM. Both requests for leave were denied by the First Department. On May 15, 2020, CWCI and CWCAM filed a motion to renew its motion to dismiss as to 4 of the remaining counts (including the remaining two counts against CWCAM for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment), based on a decision entered by Judge Failla in a trust instruction proceeding in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York awarding summary judgment in favor of CWCAM. On September 7, 2021, the court denied the motion to renew. CWCI and CWCAM filed a notice of appeal, which they perfected by the filing of their opening brief on July 1, 2022. On November 15, 2022, the First Department affirmed the court’registrant's ~~denial~~Form of the motion to renew. On October 1, 2021, CWCI and CWCAM moved to reargue the denial of the motion to renew (or alternatively, the motion to dismiss) with respect to certain of Cobalt’s claims, including the remaining 2 claims against CWCAM, based on the First Department’s April 27, 2021 decision. On March 24, 2022, the court denied the relief sought in the motion to reargue. CWCI and CWCAM appealed the court’s decision on the motion to reargue and filed their opening brief on July 11, 2022. The appeal was dismissed as being nonABS-~~appealable~~EE ~~on August 30, 2022. Discovery (both fact and expert) concluded on March 1, 2024. CWCAM and CWCI~~ filed ~~a motion for summary judgment~~ on March 2927, ~~2024,~~2026 ~~seeking~~under ~~dismissal~~Commission ofFile ~~all the claims in their entirety~~No. On333-206705-12 that same date, the plaintiff cross moved for summary judgment on one of the claims asserted against only CWCI. Oral argument on the parties’ summary judgment motions were heard on October 22, 2024. . On January 13, 2026, the court denied plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and ~~granted,~~incorporated ~~in part, and denied, in part, the motion filed~~ by ~~CWCI~~reference ~~and CWCAM~~herein). Specifically, the court dismissed the remaining two counts against CWCAM for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. With respect to CWCI, the court dismissed two counts against CWCI in their entirety and dismissed portions of one count against CWCI. The only three counts that survived and remain in the case are against CWCI. The court severed the dismissed claims from the surviving claims. On January 22, 2026, CWCI and CWCAM submitted an order to the court, requesting that it direct the clerk’s office to enter judgment on the dismissed claims and that CWCAM be dismissed as a defendant from the action. CWCAM believes that it has performed its obligations under the related pooling and servicing agreements in good faith.

~~On January 13, 2025, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, ROC Debt Strategies II Bond Investments LLC~~ (~~“Bridge Investment Group or “Bridge”~~103), ABS asAsset ~~Directing~~Related ~~Certificateholder~~Document (~~“DCH”)~~ filed ~~suit against CWCapital Asset Management LLC (“CWCAM”), alleging breach of the subject Pooling and Servicing Agreement (“PSA”) and violation of the Servicing Standard while acting~~ as ~~special~~Exhibit ~~servicer~~103 for the FREMF 2016-KS06 pool.
