This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to Schedule 13D relates to the class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation formerly known as Capital Trust, Inc. (the “Issuer”), and amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed on December 21, 2012 (the “Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on March 27, 2013. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

On May 6, 2013, the Issuer consummated a reverse stock split of the Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-10. The reverse stock split applied to all of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and therefore did not affect any stockholder’s relative ownership percentage.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

On May 6, 2013, the Issuer changed its name from Capital Trust, Inc. to Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc. and its New York Stock Exchange ticker symbol from “CT” to “BXMT” concurrently with the consummation of the reverse stock split. In connection with the name and stock ticker symbol change, the Issuer and Blackstone TM L.L.C. entered into a Trademark License Agreement, dated May 6, 2013 (the “License Agreement”) pursuant to which Blackstone TM L.L.C. granted the Issuer a license to use the “Blackstone” mark as part of the trademark, corporate name or trade name “Blackstone Mortgage Trust” or “Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.” The License Agreement also allows the Issuer to use the ticker symbol “BXMT” to identify itself on the New York Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange approved in writing by Blackstone TM L.L.C.

On May 6, 2013, Blackstone Holdings III L.P. (“Holdings III”) and the Manager entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 6, 2013 (the “Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Issuer that amended and restated the existing Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2013 between Holdings III and the Issuer to, among other things: (i) add the Manager as a party to the agreement in order to provide it with registration rights for shares of stock it acquires as a result of grants of equity incentive awards by the Issuer or otherwise; (ii) provide for registration rights for shares that Holdings III acquires in addition to the shares it acquired on December 19, 2012; and (iii) provide for registration rights prior to December 19, 2013 in the event the Issuer becomes eligible to use Form S-3.

The descriptions of the License Agreement and the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement contained in this Item 6 are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements, each of which is filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits

Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

Trademark License Agreement, dated May 6, 2013 by and between the Issuer and Blackstone TM L.L.C. (filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on May 7, 2013 and incorporated herein by reference).

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 6, 2013, by and among the Issuer, Blackstone Holdings III L.P. and BREDS/CT Advisors L.L.C. (filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Issuer on May 6, 2013 and incorporated herein by reference).

SIGNATURE

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
