  Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited (the "Company" and, together 
          with its subsidiaries, the "Group") is pleased to announce two new 
                                investments that closed on 22 December 2017. 
 
The Group has acquired GBP21.77 million junior notes linked to the performance 
        of a portfolio of high quality UK real estate loans owned by a major 
        commercial bank. The underlying reference loan pool is secured by an 
      institutional quality, well diversified pool of commercial real estate 
                                assets with an average LTV of less than 50%. 
 
    In addition, the Group subscribed to a EUR 26 million note issuance, the 
proceeds of which were used to finance an office building in suburban Paris. 
 
 The Group expects to earn an attractive risk-adjusted return on each of the 
                             investments in line with its investment policy.
