2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Property Trust, Inc.
(NYSE: STWD) (the "Company") today announced that, subject to
market and other conditions, it is offering $400 million aggregate principal amount of its
unsecured senior notes due 2030 (the "Notes") in a private
offering.

be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under

non-U.S. persons outside the United
States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Notes will not initially 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.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the
solicitation of an offer to buy, these securities, nor shall there
be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in
