Related Party Transactions | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Economic Dependency —We are dependent on PE-NTR II, Phillips Edison & Company Ltd. (the “Property Manager”), and their respective affiliates for certain services that are essential to us, including asset acquisition and disposition decisions, asset management, operating and leasing of our properties, and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that PE-NTR II, the Property Manager, and/or their respective affiliates are unable to provide such services, we would be required to find alternative service providers, which could result in higher costs and expenses. Advisory Agreement —Pursuant to the PE-NTR II Agreement, PE-NTR II is entitled to specified fees for certain services, including managing our day-to-day activities and implementing our investment strategy. PE-NTR II manages our day-to-day affairs and our portfolio of real estate investments subject to the board’s supervision. Expenditures are reimbursed to PE-NTR II based on amounts incurred on our behalf. Acquisition Fee —We pay PE-NTR II under the current advisory agreement, and we paid American Realty Capital PECO II Advisors, LLC (“ARC”) under the former advisory agreement, an acquisition fee related to services provided in connection with the selection and purchase or origination of real estate and real estate-related investments. The acquisition fee is equal to 1% of the contract purchase price of each property we acquire, including acquisition or origination expenses and any debt attributable to such investments. Due Diligence Fee —We reimburse PE-NTR II for expenses incurred related to selecting, evaluating, and acquiring assets on our behalf. Asset Management Subordinated Participation —Within 60 days after the end of each calendar quarter (subject to the approval of our board of directors), we will pay an asset management subordinated participation partially by issuing a number of restricted operating partnership units designated as Class B Units to PE-NTR II and ARC, equal to: (i) 0.25% multiplied by (a) prior to the date on which we calculated an estimated net asset value (“NAV”) per share, the cost of assets and (b) on and after the date on which we calculated an estimated NAV per share, the lower of the cost of assets and the applicable quarterly NAV divided by (ii) (a) prior to the date on which we calculated an estimated NAV per share, the value of one share of common stock as of the last day of such calendar quarter, which was equal to $22.50 (the primary offering price minus selling commissions and dealer manager fees) and (b) on and after the date on which we calculated an estimated NAV per share, the per share NAV. Our board of directors established an estimated NAV per share of $22.50 on April 14, 2016, and they increased such value to $22.75 on May 9, 2017. Under the PE-NTR II Agreement, the asset management fee is equal to 1% of the cost of our assets, and is paid 80% in cash and 20% in Class B units of the Operating Partnership. The cash portion of the asset management fee is paid on a monthly basis in arrears at the rate of 0.06667% multiplied by the cost of our assets as of the last day of the preceding monthly period. Under the first amendment to the Operating Partnership’s amended and restated agreement of limited partnership, the Class B units portion of the asset management fee was based on the rate of 0.05% multiplied by the cost of our assets. On April 14, 2016, we established an estimated NAV and the calculation of the Class B units portion of the asset management fee was changed to be based on the rate of 0.05% multiplied by the lower of the cost of our assets and our estimated NAV. The Class B units are issued quarterly in arrears and are subject to forfeiture provisions. PE-NTR II and ARC are entitled to receive distributions on the Class B units at the same rate as distributions are paid to common stockholders. Such distributions are in addition to the incentive compensation that PE-NTR II, ARC, and their affiliates may receive from us. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , the Operating Partnership issued 23,066 and 113,522 Class B units, respectively, to PE-NTR II and ARC under the advisory agreement for the asset management services performed by PE-NTR II. PE-NTR II or one of its affiliates must continue to provide advisory services through the date that such economic hurdle is met. The economic hurdle will be met when (a) the value of the Operating Partnership’s assets, plus all distributions made equal or exceeds (b) the total amount of capital contributed by investors, plus a 6% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded annual return on the capital contributed. Disposition Fee —We pay PE-NTR II under the PE-NTR II Agreement for substantial assistance in connection with the sale of properties or other investments up to the lesser of: (i) 2% of the contract sales price of each property or other investment sold; or (ii) one-half of the total brokerage commissions paid if a non-affiliated broker is also involved in the sale, provided that total real estate commissions paid (to PE-NTR II and others) in connection with the sale may not exceed the lesser of a competitive real estate commission or 6% of the contract sales price. The conflicts committee of our board of directors will determine whether PE-NTR II has provided substantial assistance to us in connection with the sale of an asset. Substantial assistance in connection with the sale of a property includes preparation of an investment package for the property (including an investment analysis, rent rolls, tenant information regarding credit, a property title report, an environmental report, a structural report, and exhibits) or such other substantial services performed by PE-NTR II in connection with a sale.
