Item 6.02 Change of Servicer or Trustee.
Pursuant to Section 7.01(d) of the pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of November 1, 2014 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as depositor, Trimont LLC, as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC ("RCA"), as special servicer, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, acting as an agent for Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as senior trust advisor, relating to the issuing entity known as JPMBB Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust 2014-C25 (the "Issuing Entity"), effective as of December 23, 2025 (the "Effective Date"), RCA was removed as special servicer and Argentic Services Company LP ("ASC"), a Delaware limited partnership, was appointed as the successor special servicer (except with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans). In its capacity as special servicer, ASC will be responsible for the servicing and administration of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (except with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuing Entity with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 24, 2014.
Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Current Report on Form 8-K have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Argentic Services Company LP
As of the Effective Date, ASC replaced RCA, as special servicer (the "Special Servicer") and assumed all of the duties, responsibilities, and liabilities of the Special Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In its capacity as Special Servicer, ASC will be responsible for the servicing and administration of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and REO Properties (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties), and in certain circumstances, will review, evaluate and/or provide or withhold consent as to certain major decisions and other transactions relating to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) when such Mortgage Loans are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The foregoing appointment will not apply to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property.
ASC maintains its office at 740 East Campbell Rd. Suite 600, Richardson Texas 75081 and its telephone number is 469-609-2000.
ASC currently has a commercial special servicer rating of "CSS2-" by Fitch, a commercial loan special servicer rating of "Above Average" by S&P and a Morningstar DBRS Commercial Mortgage Special Servicer Ranking of MOR CS2.
ASC, formed in 2019, began operations in early 2020 and is a limited partnership ultimately controlled by, and majority-owned by, funds managed by Elliott Investment Management L.P. and its affiliates (collectively, "Elliott"). As of June 30, 2025, Elliott manages approximately $76.1 billion in assets. Certain key employees of ASC and Argentic Investment Management LLC ("AIM") retain a minority stake in ASC ownership.
Neither ASC nor any of its affiliates currently owns any Certificates issued by the Issuing Entity or any other economic interest in this securitization. However, ASC or its affiliates may retain or own in the future certain classes of Certificates. Any such party will have the right to dispose of any such Certificates at any time.
The following table sets forth information about ASC's total portfolio of named special servicing for commercial and multifamily mortgage loans as of the dates indicated:

As of September 30, 2025, ASC had twenty-five (25) employees responsible for special servicing of commercial mortgage loans, including its senior management team averaging over 36 years of industry experience. ASC was named special servicer on 79 securitized pools (74 commercial mortgage-backed securities pools and 5 collateralized loan obligation pools) including 1,688 loans secured by 2,656 properties with an unpaid balance of approximately $46.31 billion as of September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, ASC was actively managing 47 commercial mortgage-backed securities loans, secured by 100 properties (including 12 REO properties) with an approximate unpaid balance of $2.081 billion.
ASC uses a cloud hosted, web browser interface, special servicing and asset management system as its system of record ("RealINSIGHT"). RealINSIGHT is a full-function loan and real estate underwriting, asset management, data and document repository, credit surveillance and reporting system that supports the start-to-finish, life cycle management of performing and distressed asset portfolios, special servicing and risk management. RealINSIGHT with its enhanced features for managing servicing, risk and compliance processes has the following features: various communication mechanisms (alerts, messages, notifications), standard action and resolution reports/templates (including asset status reports and consent memoranda), industry standard reports (including the industry standard special servicing loan and property data files and liquidation templates), the ability to build custom reports and models including dashboards and analytics, structured guidance to build workflows and action plans, recordkeeping modules for document, vendor management, and geographic mapping.
ASC has its own watch list and surveillance reports to monitor monthly CREFC® IRP reports produced by the master servicer in comparison to ASC's internal reports using RealINSIGHT to identify degradation of performance or other potential transfer events. Although ASC's internal watch list criteria overlaps with CREFC®'s portfolio review guidelines in some instances, ASC's criteria are more conservative and broader in order to not overcomplicate or restrict any watch list determinations. ASC revises and enhances its watch list criteria as necessary to ensure "early detection" of potential collateral or borrower issues.
ASC has a shared services agreement with AIM wherein AIM provides certain non-servicing support functions and non-personnel services to ASC. These areas of support include legal, finance, human resource services and information technology.
As required, ASC engages vendors for third party services pertaining to, among other things, (i) the preparation of appraisals, inspections, surveys, title updates or policies, and environmental and property condition reports, and (ii) actions and decisions for legal issues, property management, listing, leasing, brokerage, tax appeal, REO insurance and operating information analysis.
ASC has detailed operating policies and procedures (including templates and exhibits) which are formally reviewed on an annual basis, and adopts interim changes as necessary to: (i) the extent required by applicable law or regulation including in accordance with the applicable servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122 of Regulation AB under the Securities Act; (ii) maintain current industry best practices based on ASC's participation in various industry associations and its external communications with clients and other constituents; and (iii) address material changes to its business or the overall business environment that it believes warrant a change to its policies and procedures. ASC has a documented disaster recovery and business continuity plan. ASC does not have a stand-alone internal audit department. ASC has engaged a qualified independent public accounting firm that is registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and co-sources internal audit functions.
ASC does not believe that its financial condition will have any adverse effect on the performance of its duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and, accordingly, will not have any material impact on the performance of the Mortgage Loans or the Certificates.
ASC, in its role as a special servicer, does not establish any bank accounts except for REO bank accounts as required pursuant to the transaction documents. All such accounts will be established at financial institutions meeting the requirements of the related transaction documents. Funds in such accounts will not be commingled.
In its capacity as Special Servicer, ASC will not have primary responsibility for custody services of original documents evidencing the Mortgage Loans, but may from time to time have custody of certain such documents as necessary for enforcement actions or otherwise. To the extent that ASC has custody of any such documents for any such servicing purposes, such documents will be maintained in a manner consistent with the servicing standard set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
ASC expects from time-to-time to be a party to lawsuits and other legal proceedings as part of its duties as a special servicer (e.g., enforcement of loan obligations) and/or arising in the ordinary course of its business. ASC does not believe that any such lawsuits or legal proceedings would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. There are currently no proceedings pending and no legal proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities, against ASC or of which any of its property is the subject, which are material to the certificate holders.
No securitization transaction involving commercial or multifamily mortgage loans in which ASC is acting as special servicer has experienced an event of default as a result of any action or inaction by ASC as special servicer. ASC has not been terminated as servicer in a commercial mortgage loan securitization, either due to a servicing default or to application of a servicing performance test or trigger. In addition, there has been no previous disclosure of material noncompliance with servicing criteria by ASC with respect to any other securitization transaction involving commercial or multifamily mortgage loans in which ASC was acting as special servicer.
ASC may enter into one or more arrangements with the applicable directing certificateholder, holders of certificates of the controlling class or any person with the right to appoint or remove and replace the Special Servicer and to provide for a discount and/or revenue sharing with respect to certain of the special servicing compensation in consideration of, among other things, ASC's appointment as Special Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any related intercreditor agreement and limitations on such person's right to replace the Special Servicer.
A description of additional material terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement regarding the role of the special servicer, including limitations on the special servicer's liability under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and terms regarding the special servicer's removal, replacement, resignation or transfer, is included in the prospectus and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
