Joint Venture Partnerships Interests Purchase On July 15, 2020, the Company acquired interests in two portfolios comprised of 64 acquired or completed buildings and 18 buildings under construction or in the pre-construction phase. As a result of the acquisition, the Company owns a 19.9% limited partner interest in the BTC I Partnership, a 0.1% general partner interest in the BTC I Partnership, a 7.9% limited partner interest in the BTC II Partnership, and a 0.1% general partner interest in the BTC II Partnership (collectively, the “Interests”). The purchase price for the Interests was $301.0 million in cash paid at closing, exclusive of due diligence expenses and other closing costs. The Company funded the acquisition of the Interests using proceeds from its public offering. The Company acquired the Interests from Industrial Property Operating Partnership LP (“IPT OP”), a subsidiary of IPT, which was a Maryland statutory trust that was advised by Industrial Property Advisors LLC (the “IPT Advisor”), an affiliate of the Company’s Advisor. IPT terminated its existence on July 28, 2020, following the sale of its interests in the BTC Partnerships. The Company and IPT also had certain common officers. Certain former officers of IPT and certain former trustees of the IPT board of trustees (the “IPT Board”) are also stockholders of the Company. Prior to the termination of IPT, the Company and IPT were also sponsored by affiliates of Black Creek Group, LLC, and such sponsors held partnership units in the operating partnerships of the Company and IPT, respectively, and certain former trustees of IPT were also members of the Company’s board of directors. The IPT Board and the Company’s board of directors each established a special committee of independent trustees or directors, as applicable, to review and approve the agreements between the Company and IPT OP and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the sale of the Interests. The members of the IPT special committee did not overlap with members of the Company’s special committee, and none of the members of the Company’s special committee were trustees of IPT. All of the members of the Company’s special committee were disinterested in the transactions, including the sale of the Interests. Each of the special committees engaged legal counsel and an independent financial advisor to assist the special committees in their evaluation and negotiation of the transactions. CBRE Capital Advisors, Inc., the independent financial advisor to the IPT special committee, delivered a fairness opinion to the IPT special committee. Duff & Phelps, the independent financial advisor to the Company special committee, delivered a fairness opinion to the Company special committee. The agreements between the Company and IPT OP and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the sale of the Interests, were approved by the special committees of each of the Company and IPT. BTC I Services Agreement and Incentive Distributions Sharing Pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the BTC I Partnership, as amended (the “BTC I Partnership Agreement”), the Company, as the general partner of the BTC I Partnership (the “BTC I GP”) will provide, directly or indirectly by appointing an affiliate or a third party, acquisition and asset management services and, to the extent applicable, development management and development oversight services (the “BTC I Advisory Services”). As compensation for providing the BTC I Advisory Services, the BTC I Partnership will pay the BTC I GP, or its designee, certain fees in accordance with the terms of the BTC I Partnership Agreement. On February 12, 2015, the BTC I GP and IPT Advisor and an entity owned by affiliates of the Advisor, entered into an agreement that the IPT Advisor subsequently assigned to Industrial Property Advisors Sub I LLC (the “BTC I SLP”), an entity owned by affiliates of the Advisor. Pursuant to this agreement (the “BTC I Services Agreement”), the BTC I GP appointed the BTC I SLP to provide the BTC I Advisory Services and assigned to the BTC I SLP the fees payable pursuant to the BTC I Partnership Agreement for providing the BTC I Advisory Services. As a result of the payment of the fees pursuant to the BTC I 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 BTC I SLP pursuant to the BTC I Services Agreement, and (ii) the percentage interest of the BTC I Partnership owned by the Company through its general partner and limited partner interests. In connection with the sale of the Interests, the parties to the BTC I Services Agreement amended such agreement to make certain conforming changes to reflect the new indirect ownership structure of the BTC I Partnership as a result of the sale of the Interests. In addition, the BTC I Partnership Agreement contains procedures for making distributions to the parties, including incentive distributions to the BTC I GP and the BTC I SLP, which are subject to certain return thresholds being achieved. The BTC I GP and the BTC I SLP have agreed to split such incentive distributions such that the BTC I SLP will receive 60% of the incentive distributions attributable to interests in the BTC I Partnership which are not owned by the BTC I GP or the BTC I LP. Pursuant to the BTC I Partnership Agreement, the partners will be obligated to make capital contributions in proportion to their respective partnership interests with respect to each approved investment as well as with respect to any additional capital calls the BTC I GP makes from time to time, including with respect to the funding of incentive distributions, certain preservation costs, certain limited operating and capital variances and other items. Pursuant to an agreement between the BTC I SLP and the subsidiaries through which the Company owns its general partner and limited partner interests in the BTC I Partnership, dated September 15, 2016, if the Company proposes to transfer all (but not less than all) of its respective interests in the BTC I Partnership to an unrelated third party, then the Company can require the BTC I SLP to transfer its special limited partnership interest to the purchaser on the same terms and conditions. BTC II Services Agreement and Incentive Distributions Sharing Pursuant to the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the BTC II Partnership, as amended (the “BTC II Partnership Agreement”), the Company, as the general partner of the BTC II Partnership (the “BTC II GP”) will provide, directly or indirectly by appointing an affiliate or a third party, acquisition and asset management services and, to the extent applicable, development management and development oversight services (the “BTC II Advisory Services”). As compensation for providing the BTC II Advisory Services, the BTC II Partnership will pay the BTC II GP, or its designee, certain fees in accordance with the terms of the BTC II Partnership Agreement. On May 19, 2017, the BTC II GP and Industrial Property Advisors Sub III LLC (the “BTC II Service Provider”), an entity owned by affiliates of the Advisor, entered into that certain agreement (the “BTC II Services Agreement”), pursuant to which the BTC II GP appointed the BTC II Service Provider to provide the BTC II Advisory Services and assigned to the BTC II Service Provider the fees payable pursuant to the BTC II Partnership Agreement for providing the BTC II Advisory Services. As a result of the payment of the fees pursuant to the BTC II 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 BTC II Service Provider pursuant to the BTC II Services Agreement, and (ii) the percentage interest of the BTC II Partnership owned by the Company through its general partner and limited partner interests. In connection with the sale of the Interests, the parties to the BTC II Services Agreement amended such agreement to make certain conforming changes to reflect the new indirect ownership structure of the BTC II Partnership as a result of the sale of the Interests. In addition, the BTC II Partnership Agreement contains procedures for making distributions to the parties, including incentive distributions to the BTC II GP and Industrial Property Advisors Sub IV LLC (the “BTC II SLP”), an entity owned by affiliates of the Advisor, which are subject to certain return thresholds being achieved. The BTC II GP and the BTC II SLP have agreed to split such incentive distributions such that the BTC II SLP will receive 80% of the incentive distributions attributable to interests in the BTC II Partnership which are not owned by the Company through its general partner and limited partner interests. Pursuant to the BTC II Partnership Agreement, the partners will be obligated to make capital contributions in proportion to their respective partnership interests with respect to each approved investment as well as with respect to any additional capital calls the BTC II GP makes from time to time, including with respect to the funding of incentive distributions, certain preservation costs, certain limited operating and capital variances and other items. Joint Venture Partnership Fees For the period from July 16, 2020 through September 30, 2020, the BTC Partnerships (as described in “Note 5”) incurred in aggregate approximately $2.9 million in acquisition and asset management fees, which were paid to affiliates of the Advisor pursuant to the respective service agreements.
