Item 8.01. Other Events.
On September 26, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc. (the “Registrant”) caused the issuance of the BANK 2019-BNK20, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2019-BNK20 (the “Certificates”), pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, attached hereto asExhibit 4.1 and dated as of September 1, 2019 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Registrant, as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as general master servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as general special servicer, National Cooperative Bank, N.A., as NCB master servicer and as NCB special servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Certificates consist of the following classes (each, a “Class”), designated as (i) the Class A-1, Class A-SB, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates (collectively, the “Publicly Offered Certificates”), (ii) the Class X-D, Class X-C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class V and Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Privately Offered Certificates”), and (iii) the RR Interest.
The Certificates represent, in the aggregate, the entire beneficial ownership in the Issuing Entity, a common law trust to be formed on the Closing Date under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Issuing Entity’s primary assets will be a pool of 72 commercial, multifamily and/or manufactured housing community mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”). Certain of the Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Registrant from Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC (“MSMCH”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto asExhibit 99.1 and dated September 13, 2019, between the Registrant and MSMCH; certain of the Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Registrant from Bank of America, National Association (“BANA”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto asExhibit 99.2 and dated September 13, 2019, between the Registrant and BANA; certain of the Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Registrant from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto asExhibit 99.3 and dated September 13, 2019, between the Registrant and Wells Fargo; and certain of the Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Registrant from National Cooperative Bank, N.A (“NCB”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto asExhibit 99.4 and dated September 13, 2019, between the Registrant and NCB.
The assets of the Issuing Entity include several Mortgage Loans, each of which is a part of a Whole Loan. Each Whole Loan is governed by a co-lender, intercreditor or similar agreement (each, an “Intercreditor Agreement”) between the holders of the promissory notes comprising such Whole Loan, the terms of which are described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans” in the Prospectus described below. Each Intercreditor Agreement is attached as an exhibit hereto as described in the following table. Moreover, certain of such Whole Loans will not be serviced pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement but will instead be serviced pursuant to a different servicing agreement (each, a “Non-Serviced PSA”). Each such Non-Serviced PSA is attached as an exhibit hereto as described in the following table. For a description of the servicing of the applicable Whole Loans under such Non-Serviced PSAs, see “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” in the Prospectus described below.

The funds used by the Registrant to pay the purchase price for the Mortgage Loans were derived from the proceeds of (i) the sale of the Publicly Offered Certificates by the Registrant to Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Academy Securities, Inc. and Drexel Hamilton, LLC (collectively, in such capacities, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, attached hereto asExhibit 1.1 and dated as of September 13, 2019, between the Registrant, the Underwriters, as underwriters, and MSMCH, (ii) the sale of the Privately Offered Certificates by the Registrant to Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Academy Securities, Inc. and Drexel Hamilton, LLC (collectively, in such capacities, the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to a Certificate Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 13, 2019, between the Registrant, the Initial Purchasers, as initial purchasers, and MSMCH, and (iii) the transfer of the RR Interest by the Registrant to Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., BANA and Wells Fargo (in such capacity, the “Retaining Parties”), pursuant to an RR Interest Transfer Agreement, dated as of September 13, 2019, between the Registrant and the Retaining Parties. Only the Publicly Offered Certificates were offered to the public. The Privately Offered Certificates and the RR Interest were sold and transferred, as applicable, in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Publicly Offered Certificates and the Mortgage Loans are more particularly described in the Prospectus, dated September 16, 2019 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 2019.

The net proceeds of the offering to the Registrant of the issuance of the Publicly Offered Certificates, after deducting expenses payable by the Registrant of $5,684,167, were approximately $1,055,295,833 plus accrued interest from the cut-off date. Of the expenses paid by the Registrant, $100,000 were paid directly to affiliates of the Registrant, $50,000 were in the form of fees paid to the Underwriters unaffiliated with the Registrant, approximately $135,000 were expenses paid to or for the Underwriters and $5,399,167 were other expenses. All of the foregoing expense amounts are the Registrant’s reasonable estimates of such expenses. No underwriting discounts and commissions or finder’s fees were paid by the Registrant; the Publicly Offered Certificates were offered by the Underwriters for sale to the public in negotiated transactions or otherwise at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The Registrant also sold to the Initial Purchasers on such date the Privately Offered Certificates, having an aggregate certificate balance of $114,622,042 and transferred to the Retaining Parties the RR Interest, having a certificate balance of $61,873,791.74, in each case in private placement transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act.
