Related Party Transactions | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Advisory Agreement Our day-to-day activities are managed by our Advisor, a related party, under the terms and conditions of the Advisory Agreement. Our Advisor is considered to be a related party as certain indirect owners and employees of our Advisor serve as two of our directors and all of our executive officers. The responsibilities of our Advisor cover all facets of our business, and include the selection and underwriting of our real property and debt-related investments, the negotiations for these investments, the asset management and financing of these investments and the oversight of real property dispositions. On June 27, 2017, we, our Operating Partnership and our Advisor entered into the Eleventh Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, effective June 30, 2017, which clarified that all expense reimbursements available to the Advisor under the agreement are also available to affiliates of the Advisor and/or product specialists engaged by the Advisor to perform services under the agreement. The Advisory Agreement may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year terms. The current term of the Advisory Agreement expires on June 30, 2018. Per the Advisory Agreement, in consideration for asset management services performed, we pay our Advisor an advisory fee comprised of two separate components: (1) a fixed amount that accrues daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1.15% of (a) the “Aggregate Fund NAV” (i.e., the aggregate net asset value or “NAV” of our Class E shares, Class A shares, Class W shares and Class I shares, along with the OP Units held by third parties) for such day and (b) the consideration received by us or our affiliate for selling Interests (defined below) in DST Properties (defined below) to third party investors, net of up-front fees and expense reimbursements payable out of gross sale proceeds from the sale of such Interests, including but not limited to sales commissions, dealer manager fees and non-accountable expense allowances, and (2) a performance component that is based on the annual non-compounded investment return provided to holders of “Fund Interests” (defined as our Class E shares, Class A shares, Class W shares, Class I shares, and OP Units held by third parties) such that our Advisor will receive 25% of the overall return in excess of 6% ; provided that in no event may the performance condition exceed 10% of the overall return for such year, and subject to certain other limitations. Additionally, our Advisor will provide us with a waiver of a portion of its fees generally equal to the amount of the performance component that would have been payable with respect to the Class E shares and the Class E OP Units held by third parties until the NAV of such shares or units exceeds $10.00 per share or unit, the benefit of which will be shared among all holders of Fund Interests. In addition, we will pay our Advisor a fee of 1.0% of the total consideration we receive upon the sale of real property assets (excluding DST Properties). For these purposes, a “sale” means any transaction or series of transactions whereby we or our Operating Partnership directly or indirectly (including through the sale of any interest in a joint venture or through a sale by a joint venture in which we hold an interest) sells, grants, transfers, conveys, or relinquishes its ownership of any real property or portion thereof, including the lease of any real property consisting of a building only, and including any event with respect to any real property which gives rise to a significant amount of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards. Further, for providing a substantial amount of services in connection with the sale of a property (excluding DST Properties), as determined by a majority of our independent directors, we will pay our Advisor up to 50.0% of the reasonable, customary and competitive commission paid for the sale of a comparable real property, provided that such amount shall not exceed 1.0% of the contract price of the property sold and, when added to all other real estate commissions paid to unaffiliated parties in connection with the sale, may not exceed the lesser of a competitive real estate commission or 6.0% of the sales price of the property. In addition, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, we will pay directly, or reimburse our Advisor and our Dealer Manager (defined below) if they pay on our behalf any organizational and offering expenses (other than selling commissions, the dealer manager fee, distribution fees and non-transaction based compensation allocated to sales-related activities of employees of our Dealer Manager in connection with the offering) relating to any public offerings as and when incurred. After the termination of the primary portion of the offering and again after termination of the distribution reinvestment plan portion of the offering, our Advisor has agreed to reimburse us to the extent that total cumulative organization and offering expenses (including selling commissions, the dealer manager fee and distribution fees) that we incur exceed 15% of our gross proceeds from the applicable offering. The Advisory Agreement also provides that we must reimburse our Advisor for any private offering organization and offering expenses, such as those of the DST Program (defined below), it incurs on our behalf, including Advisor personnel costs, unless it has agreed to receive a fee in lieu of reimbursement. Subject to certain limitations, we reimburse our Advisor for all of the costs it incurs in connection with the services it provides to us, including, without limitation, our allocable share of the personnel (and related employment) costs and overhead (including, but not limited to, allocated rent paid to both third parties and an affiliate of the advisor, equipment, utilities, insurance, travel and entertainment, and other costs) incurred by our Advisor or its affiliates, including, but not limited to, total compensation, benefits and other overhead of all employees involved in the performance of such services. Public Offering Dealer Manager Agreement Black Creek Capital Markets, LLC (f/k/a Dividend Capital Securities LLC) (our “Dealer Manager”), a related party, is distributing the shares of our common stock in our public offering on a “best efforts” basis. Our Dealer Manager is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA. Our Dealer Manager coordinates our distribution effort and manages our relationships with participating broker-dealers and financial advisors and provides assistance in connection with compliance matters relating to marketing our public offering. On September 16, 2015, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement (the “Second Amended Dealer Manager Agreement”) with our Dealer Manager. The Dealer Manager served as dealer manager for the Prior Offering and will serve as dealer manager for the Follow-On Offering. The purpose of the Second Amended Dealer Manager Agreement is to engage our Dealer Manager with respect to the Follow-On Offering while still paying dealer manager fees and distribution fees with respect to the Prior Offering. As amended, the Second Amended Dealer Manager Agreement may be made to apply to future offerings by naming them in a schedule to the agreement, with the consent of the Company and our Dealer Manager. Pursuant to the Second Amended Dealer Manager Agreement, we pay (i) selling commissions on Class A shares sold in the primary offering of up to 3.0% of the public offering price per share, (ii) a dealer manager fee which accrues daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 0.6% of our NAV per share of Class A and Class W shares outstanding and an amount equal to 1/365th of 0.1% of our NAV per share of Class I shares outstanding on such day on a continuous basis, and (iii) a distribution fee which accrues daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 0.5% of our NAV per Class A share outstanding on such day on a continuous basis. Subject to FINRA limitations on underwriting compensation, we will continue to pay the dealer manager fee and distribution fee until the earlier to occur of the following: (i) a listing of the class of such shares on a national securities exchange or (ii) such shares no longer being outstanding. Pursuant to the Second Amended Dealer Manager Agreement, we may pay to our Dealer Manager a primary dealer fee in the amount of up to 5.0% of the gross proceeds raised from the sale of Class I shares in the primary offering, provided that (i) the total gross proceeds raised with respect to which the primary dealer fee will apply may not exceed $100,000,000 , subject to further increase by our board of directors, in its discretion; (ii) the primary dealer fee will only be paid with respect to sales made by participating broker-dealers specifically approved by us as being eligible; and (iii) the primary dealer fee will only be paid with respect to sales made at times approved by us. The Dealer Manager may reallow a portion of the primary dealer fee to the participating broker-dealers involved in selling such Class I shares based on the portion of the gross proceeds raised from their customers. The Dealer Manager will consider the primary dealer fee to be underwriting compensation subject to certain limits. The primary dealer fee will be paid by us and will not be considered to be a class-specific expense. On June 23, 2016, our board of directors increased the maximum amount of total gross proceeds raised with respect to which the primary dealer fee will apply to $150 million . Such amount is subject to further increase by our board of directors, in its discretion. Independent Director RSU Awards On December 5, 2013, our board of directors approved revised compensation for our independent directors. In connection with the revised compensation plan, at each annual meeting of stockholders the independent directors will automatically, upon election, each receive an annual $10,000 grant of Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") with respect to Class I shares of our common stock, with the number of RSUs based on the NAV per Class I share as of the end of the day of the annual meeting. Restricted Stock Unit Agreements We have entered into Restricted Stock Unit Agreements (the “Advisor RSU Agreements”) with our Advisor. The purposes of our Advisor RSU Agreements are to promote an alignment of interests among our stockholders, our Advisor and the personnel of our Advisor and its affiliates, and to promote retention of the personnel of our Advisor and its affiliates. Each restricted stock unit that we grant pursuant to our Advisor RSU Agreements (the "Company RSUs") will, upon vesting, be settled in one share of our Class I common stock. The Company RSUs are subject to specified vesting and settlement provisions and, upon settlement in Class I shares of Company common stock, require offsets of advisory fees and expenses otherwise payable from the Company to our Advisor as described further below based on the NAV per Class I share on the grant date of the applicable Company RSU. Pursuant to the terms of the Advisor RSU Agreements, we have granted our Advisor approximately 842,000 Company RSUs. On April 13, 2017, we entered into an amendment to the Advisor RSU Agreements pursuant to which the Advisor agreed that approximately 208,000 of the RSUs originally granted under the Agreements would not vest (the "Relinquished RSUs"). Because the underlying shares will not vest and be delivered to the Advisor, no offset of advisory fees and expenses otherwise payable from the Company to the Advisor will occur with respect to the Relinquished RSUs. However, in consideration for the Advisor's agreement, we agreed to reduce future offsets of advisory fees and expenses in connection with vesting and settlement of other RSUs by approximately $33,000 , which amount reflects an increase in net asset value per Class I share since the grants of certain of the Relinquished RSUs. As of June 30, 2017 , approximately 123,000 Company RSUs remained unvested and unsettled. As of June 30, 2017 , our Advisor did not have any shares of Class I common stock issued upon settlement of Company RSUs that remained subject to fee offset. The Advisor is expected to redistribute a significant portion of the Company RSUs and/or shares to senior level employees of our Advisor and its affiliates that provide services to us, although the terms of such redistributions (including the timing, amount and recipients) remain solely in the discretion of our Advisor. The weighted average grant-date NAV per Class I share with respect to the unsettled Company RSUs is $7.29 as of June 30, 2017 . Vesting and Payment Offset Following specified vesting provisions, an equal percentage of the Company RSUs vest on each of the applicable vesting dates. On each vesting date, an offset amount (each, an “Offset Amount”) will be calculated and deducted on a pro rata basis over the next 12 months from the cash payments otherwise due and payable to our Advisor under our then-current Advisory Agreement for any fees or expense reimbursements. Each Offset Amount equals the number of Company RSUs vesting on such date multiplied by the NAV per Class I share publicly disclosed by us (the “Class I NAV”) as of the end of the applicable grant date (the “Grant Date NAV per Class I Share”). Each Offset Amount is always calculated based on the Grant Date NAV per Class I Share, even beyond the initial grant and vesting date. At the end of each 12-month period following each vesting date, if the Offset Amount has not been fully realized by offsets from the cash payments otherwise due and payable to our Advisor under the Advisory Agreement, our Advisor shall promptly pay any shortfall to us. The chart below shows the grant dates, vesting dates, number of unvested shares as of June 30, 2017 , and Grant Date NAV per Class I Share (share amounts in thousands). Award Grant Date Vesting Dates Number of Unvested Shares Grant Date NAV per Class I Share Company RSU 2/25/2015 4/13/2018 66 $ 7.18 Company RSU 2/4/2016 4/15/2019 57 7.41 Total/ weighted average 123 $ 7.29 Termination The Advisor RSU Agreements will automatically terminate upon termination or non-renewal of the Advisory Agreement by any party for any reason. In addition, upon a change in control of us, then either our Advisor or we may immediately terminate the Advisor RSU Agreements. Further, our Advisor may immediately terminate the Advisor RSU Agreements if we exercise certain rights under the Advisor RSU Agreements to replace the Company RSUs with another form of compensation. Upon termination of the Advisor RSU Agreements, our Advisor will promptly pay any unused offset amounts to us or, at our Advisor’s election, return Class I shares in equal value based on the Class I NAV as of the date of termination of the Advisor RSU Agreements. In addition, upon termination of the Advisor RSU Agreements, all unvested Company RSUs will be forfeited except that, unless the Advisor RSU Agreements were terminated at the election of our Advisor following a change in control of us or as a result of a premature termination of the Advisory Agreement at our election for cause (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) or upon the bankruptcy of our Advisor, then following such forfeiture of Company RSUs, our Advisor will have the right to acquire from us the number of Class I shares equal to the number of Company RSUs forfeited, in return for a purchase price equal to such number of Class I shares multiplied by the Grant Date NAV per Class I Share. The Advisor must notify us of its election to exercise the foregoing acquisition right within 30 days following the termination of the Advisor RSU Agreements, and the parties will close the transaction within 60 days following the termination of the Advisor RSU Agreements. Dividend Equivalent Payments If our board of directors declares and we pay a cash dividend on Class I shares for any period in which the Company RSUs are outstanding (regardless of whether such Company RSUs are then vested), our Advisor will be entitled to dividend equivalents (the “Dividend Equivalents”) with respect to that cash dividend equal to the cash dividends that would have been payable on the same number of Class I shares as the number of Company RSUs subject to the Advisor RSU Agreements had such Class I shares been outstanding during the same portion of such period as the Company RSUs were outstanding. Any such Dividend Equivalents may be paid in cash or Class I shares, at our Advisor’s election. Restricted Stock Grant Effective February 2, 2017, we granted approximately 58,000 restricted shares of Class I common stock to certain employees of our Advisor and its affiliates at a price of $7.56 per share, of which 25% vested on the grant date with the remaining 75% vesting ratably over the next three anniversaries of the grant date. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , approximately 38,000 shares of restricted stock vested at a weighted average price of $7.55 , based on our NAV per share as of the vesting dates. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , we recorded approximately $210,000 within “general and administrative expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income . Our restricted stock generally vests ratably over a period of three to four years. Private Placements of Delaware Statutory Trust Interests Private Placements In March 2016, we, through our Operating Partnership, initiated a program to raise capital in private placements exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Private Placements”), through the sale of beneficial interests (“Interests”) in specific Delaware statutory trusts holding real properties, including properties currently indirectly owned by our Operating Partnership (the “DST Program”). From 2006 through 2009, we, through our subsidiaries, conducted similar private placement offerings of fractional interests in which it raised a total of $183.1 million in gross proceeds. These fractional interests were all subsequently acquired by our Operating Partnership in exchange for an aggregate of 17.7 million OP Units. As of June 30, 2017 , we had sold approximately $6.1 million in Interests, which we include in "other liabilities" in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Each Private Placement will offer Interests in one or more real properties placed into one or more Delaware statutory trust(s) by our Operating Partnership or its affiliates (“DST Properties”). We anticipate that these Interests may serve as replacement properties for investors seeking to complete like-kind exchange transactions under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Additionally, properties underlying Interests sold to investors pursuant to such Private Placements will be leased-back by an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of our Operating Partnership on a long term basis of up to 29 years. The lease agreements are expected to be fully guaranteed by our Operating Partnership. Additionally, our Operating Partnership will retain a fair market value purchase option (“FMV Option”) giving it the right, but not the obligation, to acquire the Interests from the investors at a later time in exchange for OP Units. DST Program Dealer Manager Agreement In connection with the DST Program, in March 2016, Dividend Capital Exchange LLC (“DCX”), a wholly owned subsidiary of our taxable REIT subsidiary that is wholly owned by our Operating Partnership, entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement with our Dealer Manager, pursuant to which our Dealer Manager agreed to conduct Private Placements for Interests reflecting an indirect ownership of up to $500 million of Interests. DCX will pay certain up-front fees and reimburse certain related expenses to the Dealer Manager with respect to capital raised through any such Private Placements. DCX is obligated to pay our Dealer Manager a dealer manager fee of up to 1.5% of gross equity proceeds raised and a commission of up to 5% of gross equity proceeds raised through the Private Placements. The Dealer Manager may re-allow such commissions and a portion of such dealer manager fee to participating broker dealers. In addition, we, or our subsidiaries, are obligated to pay directly or reimburse our Advisor and our Dealer Manager if they pay on our behalf, any organization and offering expenses (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) as and when incurred. These expenses may include reimbursements for the bona fide due diligence expenses of participating broker-dealers, supported by detailed and itemized invoices, and similar diligence expenses of investment advisers, legal fees of our Dealer Manager, reimbursements for customary travel, lodging, meals and reasonable entertainment expenses of registered persons associated with our Dealer Manager, the cost of educational conferences held by us, including costs reimbursement for registered persons associated with our Dealer Manager and registered representatives of participating broker-dealers to attend educational conferences sponsored by us, and attendance fees and costs reimbursement for registered persons associated with our Dealer Manager to attend seminars conducted by participating broker-dealers and promotional items. We intend to recoup the costs of the selling commissions and dealer manager fees described above through a purchase price “mark-up” of the initial estimated fair value of the DST Properties to be sold to investors, thereby placing the economic burden of these up-front fees on the investors purchasing such Interests. In addition, to offset some or all of our organization and offering expenses associated with the Private Placements, we will add a purchase price mark-up of the estimated fair value of the DST Properties to be sold to investors in the amount of 1.5% of the gross equity proceeds. Collectively, these purchase price mark-ups total up to 8% of the gross equity proceeds raised in the Private Placements. Additionally, we will be paid, by investors purchasing Interests, a non-accountable reimbursement equal to 1.0% of gross equity proceeds for real estate transaction costs that we expect to incur in selling or buying these Interests. Also, investors purchasing Interests will be required to pay their own respective closing costs upon the initial sale of the interests. Limited Partnership Agreement In connection with the launch of the DST Program, the Company, on behalf of itself as general partner and on behalf of all the limited partners thereto, entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of our Operating Partnership, dated as of March 2, 2016, which was further amended on August 2, 2016 (the “Amended and Restated Operating Partnership Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Operating Partnership Agreement amends the prior operating partnership agreement by establishing two series of Class E OP Units, with different redemption and registration rights. The currently existing third-party holders of Class E OP Units will now hold Series 1 Class E OP Units, and will continue to have the same redemption and registration rights they had previously, which include the right, in certain circumstances to require our Operating Partnership to redeem the OP Units for Class E shares of the Company or cash. Any purchasers of Interests in the DST Program that ultimately acquire OP Units through the FMV Option will acquire Series 2 Class E OP Units, which will have similar redemption and registration rights to those of the holders of Series 1 Class E OP Units, except that their redemption rights will in certain circumstances require our Operating Partnership to redeem the OP Units for either Class I shares of the Company or cash (as determined by our Operating Partnership in its sole discretion). In addition, the Amended and Restated Operating Partnership Agreement provides that a redemption fee of 1.5% of the shares otherwise payable to a limited partner upon redemption of Series 2 Class E Units will be paid to an affiliate of the Manager (defined below). Holders of Series 1 or Series 2 Class E OP Units cannot require us to redeem their Series 1 or Series 2 Class E OP Units with cash. Delaware Statutory Trust Agreement DCX Manager LLC (the “Manager”), an affiliate of our Advisor, will be engaged to act as the manager of each Delaware statutory trust holding a DST Property. Although the intention is to sell 100% of the interests to third parties, DCX may hold an interest for a period of time and therefore could be subject to the following description of fees and reimbursements paid to the Manager. The Manager will have primary responsibility for performing administrative actions in connection with the trust and any DST Property and has the sole power to determine when it is appropriate for a trust to sell a DST Property. The Manager will be entitled to the following payments from the trust: (i) a management fee equal to a stated percentage (e.g., 1.0%) of the gross rents payable to the trust, with such amount to be set on a deal-by-deal basis, (ii) a disposition fee of 1.0% of the gross sales price of any DST Property sold to a third party, and (iii) reimbursement of certain expenses associated with the establishment, maintenance and operation of the trust and DST Properties. Additionally, the Manager or its affiliate may earn a 1.0% loan fee for any financing arrangement sourced, negotiated and executed in connection with the DST Program. This loan fee is only payable to the Manager by new investors that purchase Interests and therefore is not paid by the Company or its affiliates. Summary of Fees and Other Amounts The following table summarizes fees and other amounts earned by our Advisor and its related parties in connection with services performed for us during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (amounts in thousands, except footnoted information): For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Advisory fees (1) $ 3,451 $ 3,671 $ 6,941 $ 7,436 Other reimbursements paid to our Advisor (2) 2,026 2,092 4,304 4,304 Other reimbursements paid to our Dealer Manager 155 32 338 83 Advisory fees related to the disposition of real properties 286 — 286 1,807 Development management fee (3) — 10 — 29 Primary dealer fee (4) — 1,697 — 1,697 Selling commissions 5 17 25 67 Dealer manager fees 116 89 228 174 Distribution fees 19 17 38 34 Total $ 6,058 $ 7,625 $ 12,160 $ 15,631 (1) Amounts reported for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 include approximately $154,000 and $282,000 , respectively, that we were not obligated to pay in consideration of the issuance of Company RSUs to our Advisor. Amounts reported for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 include approximately $443,000 and $565,000 , respectively, that we were not obligated to pay in consideration of the issuance of Company RSUs to our Advisor. (2) Other reimbursements paid to our Advisor for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 include approximately $1.7 million and $1.7 million , respectively, and include approximately $3.5 million and $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, to reimburse a portion of the salary, bonus and benefits for employees of our Advisor, including our executive officers, for services provided to us for which our Advisor does not otherwise receive a separate fee. The balance of such reimbursements are made up primarily of other general overhead and administrative expenses, including, but not limited to, allocated rent paid to both third parties and affiliates of our advisor, equipment, utilities, insurance, travel and entertainment, and other costs. (3) Pursuant to our amended Advisory Agreement, our Advisor no longer receives a development management fee in exchange for providing development management services. (4) Amounts reported represent primary dealer fees we paid to our Dealer Manager based on the gross proceeds raised by participating broker-dealers pursuant to certain selected dealer agreements. Of the primary dealer fee earned during the six months ended June 30, 2016 , our Dealer Manager reallowed approximately $1.5 million to participating third-party broker-dealers and retained approximately $170,000 . See the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for the amounts we owed to our Advisor and affiliates of our Advisor for such services and reimbursement of certain expenses as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, we accrue the advisory fee on a daily basis and pay our Advisor amounts due subsequent to each month-end. In addition, we recorded a liability of approximately $3.9 million for dealer manager and distribution fees that we estimate that we may pay to our Dealer Manager in future periods for shares of our common stock sold in our Follow-On Offering as of June 30, 2017 . We anticipate that our Dealer Manager will reallow a significant portion of such fees to third-party broker dealers. |
