RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | 11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company relies on the Advisor, a related party, to manage the Company’s day-to-day operating and acquisition activities and to implement the Company’s investment strategy pursuant to the terms of the fourth amended and restated advisory agreement, dated August 12, 2016, by and among the Company, the Operating Partnership, and the Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”). The current term of the Advisory Agreement ends August 12, 2017, subject to renewals by the Company’s board of directors for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods. The Dealer Manager provides dealer manager services in connection with the Offering. The Sponsor, which owns the Advisor, is presently directly or indirectly majority owned by John A. Blumberg, James R. Mulvihill and Evan H. Zucker and/or their affiliates and the Sponsor and the Advisor are jointly controlled by Messrs. Blumberg, Mulvihill and Zucker and/or their affiliates. The Dealer Manager is presently directly or indirectly majority owned, controlled and/or managed by Messrs. Blumberg, Mulvihill and/or Zucker and/or their affiliates. Mr. Zucker is the Chairman of our board of directors. The Advisor and the Dealer Manager receive compensation from the Company in the form of fees and expense reimbursements for certain services relating to the Offering and for the investment and management of the Company’s assets. The following summarizes these fees and expense reimbursements: Sales Commissions. Dealer Manager Fees. Distribution Fees. The quarterly distributions paid with respect to all outstanding Class T shares, including Class T shares issued pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan, will be reduced by the monthly distribution fees calculated with respect to Class T shares issued in the primary offering and all Class T shares will receive the same per share distribution. The Company will cease paying distribution fees with respect to all Class T shares on the earliest to occur of the following: (i) a listing of shares of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange; (ii) such Class T shares no longer being outstanding; (iii) the Dealer Manager’s determination that total underwriting compensation from all sources, including dealer manager fees, sales commissions, distribution fees and any other underwriting compensation paid to participating broker dealers with respect to all Class A shares and Class T shares would be in excess of 10% of the gross proceeds of the primary portion of the Offering; or (iv) the end of the month in which the transfer agent, on behalf of the Company, determines that total underwriting compensation, including dealer manager fees, sales commissions, and distribution fees with respect to the Class T shares held by a stockholder within his or her particular account, would be in excess of 10% of the total gross investment amount at the time of purchase of the primary Class T shares held in such account. Distribution fees are accrued upon the issuance of Class T shares. The Company accrues for: (i) the monthly amount payable as of the balance sheet date; and (ii) the estimated amount of distribution fees to be paid in future periods based on the Class T shares outstanding as of the balance sheet date. The distribution fees are reflected in additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity. Acquisition Fees. Asset Management Fees. Organization and Offering Expenses. Other Expense Reimbursements. The table below summarizes the fees and expenses incurred by the Company for services provided by the Advisor and its affiliates and the Dealer Manager related to the services described above, and any related amounts payable: Incurred For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, Receivable (Payable) as of June 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 (in thousands) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Expensed: Acquisition fees $ 10,019 $ 1,575 $ 17,148 $ 3,120 $ (149 ) $ (941 ) Asset management fees (1) 4,146 1,047 7,541 1,922 (1,517 ) (961 ) Asset management fees related to dispositions (2) — — 1,466 — — — Other expense reimbursements (3) 697 70 1,587 216 (173 ) (119 ) Total $ 14,862 $ 2,692 $ 27,742 $ 5,258 $ (1,839 ) $ (2,021 ) Capitalized: Development acquisition fees (4) $ 39 $ — $ 155 $ — $ — $ (39 ) Additional Paid-In Capital: Sales commissions $ 3,230 $ 9,552 $ 9,988 $ 18,949 $ (56 ) $ (498 ) Dealer manager fees 2,192 3,462 6,363 6,863 (84 ) (500 ) Offering costs 2,015 2,803 4,585 5,544 (672 ) (377 ) Distribution fees (5) 20,653 — 21,275 — (20,087 ) (110 ) Total $ 28,090 $ 15,817 $ 42,211 $ 31,356 $ (20,899 ) $ (1,485 ) (1) Includes asset management fees other than asset management fees related to dispositions. (2) These fees were incurred in conjunction with the Company’s sell down of its ownership interest in the BTC Partnership and were netted against the gain from the sale. Amount is included in net loss on sell down of joint venture ownership interest on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. (3) Includes reimbursement for certain expenses incurred in connection with the services provided to the Company under the Advisory Agreement. Also includes amounts for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 of $5,000 and $9,625, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 of $14,000 and $15,400, respectively, that the Company paid to an affiliate of the Advisor for a portion of the salary of the principal financial officer, Thomas G. McGonagle, for services provided to the Company. There were no amounts reimbursed for any portion of the salary and benefits during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 to the principal executive officer, Dwight L. Merriman III, for services provided to the Company. The principal executive officer and principal financial officer provide services to and receive additional compensation from affiliates of the Company’s Advisor that the Company does not reimburse. (4) Development acquisition fees are included in the total development project costs of the respective properties and are capitalized in construction in progress, which is included in net investment in real estate properties on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. (5) The distribution fees accrue daily and are payable monthly in arrears. As of June 30, 2016, the monthly amount of distribution fees payable of $0.3 million is included in distributions payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the Company accrues for future estimated amounts payable based on the shares outstanding as of the balance sheet date. As of June 30, 2016, the future estimated amounts payable of $19.8 million are included in due to affiliates on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and includes an immaterial amount related to prior periods. Joint Venture Agreement The BTC Partnership (described in “Note 5”) is required to pay the General Partner, a subsidiary of the Company that serves as the general partner of the BTC Partnership, certain fees for advisory services provided in accordance with the terms of the joint venture agreement. The advisory services include acquisition and asset management services and, to the extent applicable, development management and development oversight services. Effective February 2015, the General Partner and the Advisor entered into an agreement (the “Services Agreement”), pursuant to which the General Partner appointed the Advisor to provide the advisory services to the BTC Partnership and assigned to the Advisor the fees payable for providing such services. As a result of the payment of the fees pursuant to the Services Agreement, the fees payable to the Advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement will be reduced by the product of (i) the fees actually paid to the Advisor pursuant to the Services Agreement, and (ii) the percentage interest of the joint venture owned by the IPT Partners. In addition, the General Partner has agreed to share with the Advisor a portion of any incentive distributions paid to the General Partner by the BTC Partnership in an amount equal to 60% of the percentage interest of the BTC Partnership held by partners other than the IPT Partners. Further, the Services Agreement provides that it will terminate upon termination of the Advisory Agreement with the exception that if the Advisory Agreement is terminated other than for “cause,” the Advisor shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require the General Partner to seek the consent of the BCIMC Limited Partner to sell 50% of the General Partner’s general partner interest in the BTC Partnership to the Advisor for the fair market value of the interest. In such event, the General Partner will seek the BCIMC Limited Partner’s consent to the sale and the admission of the Advisor as an administrative general partner of the BTC Partnership. If the Advisor is made the administrative general partner, then the Services Agreement will terminate and the Advisor will continue to provide the advisory services to the BTC Partnership and receive the same fees and the same portion of any incentive distributions as those to which the Advisor was entitled under the Services Agreement prior to its termination, but the Advisor will not control or manage the BTC Partnership. If the BCIMC Limited Partner does not provide its consent or if the Advisor determines not to purchase the interest, then the Services Agreement will terminate. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the BTC Partnership incurred approximately $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in acquisition and asset management fees which were paid to the Advisor pursuant to the Services Agreement, as compared to $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Expense Support Agreement In October 2013, the Company entered into an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement (as amended, the “Expense Support Agreement”) with the Operating Partnership and the Advisor. Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, the Advisor has agreed to defer payment of all or a portion of the asset management fee otherwise payable to it pursuant to the Advisory Agreement if Company-defined funds from operations (“CDFFO”), as disclosed in the Company’s quarterly and annual reports, for a particular quarter is less than the aggregate distributions that would have been declared for such quarter assuming daily distributions at a specified quarterly rate per share of common stock (the “Baseline Distributions”). Baseline Distributions were equal to: $0.11250 per share from January 1 through June 30, 2014; $0.11875 per share from July 1 through September 30, 2014; and $0.1250 per share from October 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. In addition, pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement that was in effect through June 30, 2015, prior to the amendment and restatement of the agreement as described below, the Advisor, in its sole discretion, could elect to fund certain expenses of the Company and the Operating Partnership as expense support payments. Subject to certain conditions and limitations, the Advisor is entitled to reimbursement from the Company for any asset management fees that were deferred and any expense support payments that it made pursuant to the agreement that was in effect through June 30, 2015. The amounts potentially reimbursable to the Advisor will begin to expire within three years after the quarter in which such reimbursable amount originated. The Expense Support Agreement was amended and restated on August 14, 2015, effective from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2018. Pursuant to the amended and restated Expense Support Agreement, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2018, Baseline Distributions means the aggregate cash distributions that are declared on the Company’s common stock in accordance with the quarterly distribution rate for such quarter; provided that for purposes of calculating the amount of payment by the Advisor pursuant to the agreement, such amount will not exceed the amount that would have been declared on shares of the Company’s common stock assuming a quarterly distribution rate of $0.13515 per share (which is the rate that the Company’s board of directors authorized for the fourth quarter of 2015 and the first, second and third quarters of 2016 with respect to the Company’s Class A shares and Class T shares less the annual distribution fees that are payable monthly with respect to such Class T shares, as calculated on a daily basis). Starting with any asset management fees waived pursuant to the agreement on or after July 1, 2015, the Advisor will not be entitled to reimbursement from the Company. In addition, beginning on July 1, 2015 and ending upon the termination or expiration of the agreement, if, in a given calendar quarter, the Company’s CDFFO is less than the Baseline Distributions for such quarter, and the waived asset management fee is not sufficient to satisfy the shortfall for such quarter (a “Deficiency”), the Advisor will be required to fund certain expenses of the Company or the Operating Partnership in an amount equal to such Deficiency. Starting with any such payments made by the Advisor on or after July 1, 2015 to cover a Deficiency, the Advisor is not entitled to reimbursement from the Company. The Expense Support Agreement, as amended, will govern all waivers and payments made by the Advisor from July 1, 2015 through the second quarter of 2018. The Advisor still will be entitled to reimbursement of amounts owed to it by the Company prior to July 1, 2015 pursuant to the prior versions of the agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. For the period beginning on July 1, 2015 and terminating on the earlier of the expiration or termination of the agreement, in no event will the aggregate of the waived asset management fees and the Deficiency support payments, when added to all amounts deferred or paid by the Advisor prior to August 14, 2015 under the prior versions of the Expense Support Agreement (approximately $5.4 million), exceed $30.0 million (the “Maximum Amount”). Although the Expense Support Agreement has an effective term through June 30, 2018, it may be terminated prior thereto without cause or penalty by a majority of the Company’s independent directors upon 30 days’ written notice to the Advisor. In addition, the Advisor’s obligations under the Expense Support Agreement will immediately terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination or non-renewal of the Advisory Agreement, (ii) the delivery by the Company of notice to the Advisor of the Company’s intention to terminate or not renew the Advisory Agreement, (iii) the Company’s completion of a liquidity event or (iv) the time the Advisor has deferred, waived or paid the Maximum Amount. Except with respect to the early termination events described above, any obligation of the Advisor to make payments under the Expense Support Agreement with respect to the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2018 will remain operative and in full force and effect through the end of such quarter. The table below provides information regarding the fees waived or expenses supported by the Advisor, as well as any amounts reimbursed to the Advisor by the Company: For the Three Months For the Six Months (in thousands) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Asset management fees deferred $ — $ 1,034 $ 267 $ 1,576 Other expenses supported — — — — Reimbursement of previously deferred expenses (1,431 ) — (1,431 ) — Total expense support from (repayment to) Advisor (1) $ (1,431 ) $ 1,034 $ (1,164 ) $ 1,576 (1) As of June 30, 2016, approximately $1.4 million of expense support was payable to the Advisor by the Company. As of June 30, 2016, the cumulative amount of fees deferred and expenses supported by the Advisor (net of the amounts reimbursed by the Company) was approximately $6.0 million. The maximum amount potentially reimbursable to the Advisor was approximately $5.4 million. The Company recorded approximately $1.4 million related to the reimbursement of previously deferred expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The remaining amount potentially reimbursable to the Advisor in future periods is approximately $4.0 million. |
