    Risk Disclosures 

    All investments involve the risk of loss of principal. 

    The information is not intended to provide and should not be relied on for accounting or tax advice. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax consequences to you of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of shares in First Eagle Real Estate Debt Fund (the “Fund”). An investment in the Fund involves a number of significant risks. Before you invest, you should be aware of various risks, including those described below. For a more complete discussion of the risks of investing in the Fund, see the Fund’s prospectus under the heading, “Principal Risks of the Fund.” 

    There is no assurance that the Fund will be able to maintain a certain level of distributions, if any, to the holders of shares of the Fund. 

    The Fund’s shares are not listed for trading on any national securities exchange and no market is expected to develop for them. There is no guarantee that you will be able to sell your shares at any given time or in the quantity that you desire. 

    An investment in the Fund is not suitable for investors who need certainty about their ability to access all of the money they invest in the short term. 

    The Fund is a newly organized, non-diversified closed-end investment company with no history of operations and is subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business. 

    The Fund’s failure to qualify as a REIT would subject the Fund to U.S. federal income tax and potentially increased state and local taxes, which would reduce the amount of the Fund’s income available for distribution to the Fund’s Shareholders. 

    The Fund will concentrate (i.e., invest more than 25% of its assets) its investments in the real estate industry. As such, its portfolio will be significantly impacted by the performance of the real estate market and may experience more volatility and be exposed to greater risk than a more diversified portfolio. 

    Below investment grade securities or comparable unrated instruments may be subject to greater risks than securities or instruments that have higher credit ratings, including a higher risk of default, and the Fund might have difficulty selling them promptly at an acceptable price. Investments in loans potentially expose the Fund to the credit risk of the underlying borrower. The Fund’s ability to receive payments in connection with the loan depends primarily on the financial condition of the borrower. Even investments in secured loans present risk, as there is no assurance that the collateral securing the loan will be sufficient to satisfy the loan obligation. The market for certain loans is expected to be illiquid and the Fund may have difficulty selling them. In addition, loans often have contractual restrictions on resale, which can delay the sale and adversely impact the sale price. Investments in debt securities and other obligations of companies that are experiencing significant financial or business distress involve a substantial degree of risk, including a material risk that the issuer will default on the obligations or enter bankruptcy. The level of analytical sophistication, both financial and legal, necessary for successful investment in distressed assets is unusually high. 

    Investors may not have access to all share classes at certain financial intermediaries. Please consult your financial professional for more information. Investors should consider shares of the Fund to be an illiquid investment. 

    Investors should consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Fund and may be obtained by visiting our website at www.firsteagle.com or calling us at 800-334- 2143. Please read our prospectus carefully before investing. Investments are not FDIC insured or bank guaranteed, and may lose value.
