Business and Organization | 1. Business and Organization Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust V, Inc., which was previously named Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc. prior to July 20, 2017, (which may be referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), was organized as a Maryland corporation on January 9, 2007 and has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. We were formed primarily to acquire and operate commercial real estate and real estate-related assets on an opportunistic and value-add basis. In particular, we have focused generally on acquiring commercial properties with significant possibilities for capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment, or repositioning, those located in markets and submarkets with high growth potential, and those available from sellers who are distressed or face time-sensitive deadlines. We have acquired a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, and multifamily. We have purchased existing, income-producing properties, and newly-constructed properties. We have also invested in other real estate-related investments such as mortgage and mezzanine loans. We intend to hold the various real properties in which we have invested until such time as our board of directors determines that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until it appears that the objectives will not be met. We currently have one operating segment. As of March 31, 2020, we had eight real estate investments (five wholly owned properties and three properties consolidated through investments in joint ventures) and one real estate-related investment (mezzanine loan). Substantially all of our business is conducted through Lightstone REIT V OP LP, a limited partnership organized in Delaware (the “Operating Partnership”). As of March 31, 2020, our wholly-owned subsidiary, BHO II, Inc., a Delaware corporation, owned a 0.1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as its sole general partner. As of March 31, 2020, our wholly-owned subsidiary, BHO Business Trust II, a Maryland business trust, was the sole limited partner of the Operating Partnership and owned the remaining 99.9% interest in the Operating Partnership. Our business is managed by an external advisor and we have no employees. Effective February 10, 2017, we engaged affiliates of The Lightstone Group (“Lightstone”), LSG-BH II Advisor LLC and LSG Development Advisor LLC (collectively, the “Advisor”), to provide advisory services to us. Lightstone is majority owned by the chairman of our board of directors, David Lichtenstein. Subject to the oversight of our board of directors, our external advisor is responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for services related to the management of our assets. Organization In connection with our initial capitalization, we issued 22,500 shares of our common stock and 1,000 shares of our convertible stock to our previous advisor on January 19, 2007. The 1,000 shares of convertible stock were transferred to an affiliate of Lightstone on February 10, 2017 and remain outstanding as of March 31, 2020. Our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange. The timing of a liquidity event for our stockholders will depend upon then prevailing market conditions. Our board of directors previously targeted June 30, 2023 as the commencement of a liquidity event, however, on January 9, 2020, our board of directors elected to extend the targeted timeline until June 30, 2028 based on their assessment of our investment objectives and liquidity options for our stockholders. We can provide no assurances as to the actual timing of the commencement of a liquidity event for our stockholders or the ultimate liquidation of the Company. We will seek stockholder approval prior to liquidating our entire portfolio. Noncontrolling Interests Noncontrolling interests represents the noncontrolling ownership interest’s proportionate share of the equity in our consolidated real estate investments. Income and losses are allocated to noncontrolling interest holders based generally on their ownership percentage. If a property reaches a defined return threshold, then it will result in distributions to noncontrolling interests which is different from the standard pro-rata allocation percentage. In certain instances, our joint venture agreements provide for liquidating distributions based on achieving certain return metrics. |
