RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay the Advisor specified fees upon the provision of certain services related to the management of the Company’s investments and for other services (including, but not limited to, the disposition of investments). The Company is also obligated to reimburse the Advisor for certain operating expenses incurred on behalf of the Company or incurred in connection with providing services to the Company. The Advisor is entitled to certain other fees, including an incentive fee upon achieving certain performance goals, as detailed in the Advisory Agreement. In addition, the Advisor has paid all offering expenses related to the second private offering conducted by the Company without reimbursement by the Company. In addition, in connection with property acquisitions, the Company, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, has entered into separate Property Management Agreements (defined below) with KBS Management Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Advisor (the “Co-Manager”). The Company has also entered into a fee reimbursement agreement with the Dealer Manager pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse the Dealer Manager for certain fees and expenses it incurs for administering the Company’s participation in the DTCC Alternative Investment Product Platform with respect to certain accounts of the Company’s investors serviced through the platform. The Advisor also serves as the advisor for KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (“KBS REIT II”) and KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc. (“KBS REIT III”). The Dealer Manager also serves as the dealer manager for KBS REIT II and KBS REIT III. As of January 1, 2021, the Company, together with KBS REIT II, KBS REIT III, the Dealer Manager, the Advisor and other KBS affiliated entities, had entered into an errors and omissions and directors and officers liability insurance program where the lower tiers of such insurance coverage were shared. The cost of these lower tiers is allocated by the Advisor and its insurance broker among each of the various entities covered by the program and is billed directly to each entity. In June 2021, the Company renewed its participation in the program. The program is effective through June 30, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, no other business transactions occurred between the Company and KBS REIT II and KBS REIT III. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, summarized below are the related-party costs incurred by the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and any related amounts receivable and payable as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands).

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had accrued and deferred payment of $8.1 million of asset management fees related to the periods from October 2017 through March 2022. (2) See “Reimbursable Operating Expenses” below. (3) See “Real Estate Property Co-Management Agreements” below. (4) See “Advance from the Advisor” below. Reimbursable Operating Expenses Reimbursable operating expenses primarily related to directors and officers liability insurance, legal fees, state and local taxes, accounting software and cybersecurity related expenses incurred by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement. The Company has reimbursed the Advisor for the Company’s allocable portion of the salaries, benefits and overhead of internal audit department personnel providing services to the Company. These amounts totaled $26,000 and $89,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and were the only type of employee costs reimbursed under the Advisory Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company does not reimburse for employee costs in connection with services for which the Advisor earned or earns acquisition, origination or disposition fees (other than reimbursement of travel and communication expenses) or for the salaries or benefits the Advisor or its affiliates may pay to the Company’s executive officers. In addition to the amounts above, the Company reimburses the Advisor for certain of the Company’s direct costs incurred from third parties that were initially paid by the Advisor on behalf of the Company. The receivable as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 includes (i) $0.3 million of estimated amounts charged to the Company by certain vendors for services for which the Company believes it was either overcharged or which were never performed and (ii) $0.1 million of legal and accounting costs related to the investigation of this matter incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Advisor has agreed to reimburse the Company for any amounts inappropriately charged to the Company and for legal and accounting costs incurred related to the investigation of this matter. The Company’s audit committee is conducting an ongoing investigation of this matter. The Advisor must reimburse the Company the amount by which the Company’s aggregate total operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters then ended exceed the greater of 2% of the Company’s average invested assets or 25% of the Company’s net income, unless the conflicts committee has determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. Operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2022 did not exceed the charter-imposed limitation. Advance from the Advisor The Advisor advanced funds to the Company, which are non-interest bearing, for distribution record dates through the period ended May 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2022, the total advanced funds due to the Advisor from the Company was approximately $1.3 million, which is included in due to affiliates in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company is only obligated to repay the Advisor for its advance if and to the extent that: (i) the Company’s modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), as such term is defined by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives and interpreted by the Company, for the immediately preceding quarter exceeds the amount of cash distributions declared for record dates of such prior quarter (an “MFFO Surplus”), and the Company will pay the Advisor the amount of the MFFO Surplus to reduce the principal amount outstanding under the advance, provided that such payments shall only be made if management in its sole discretion expects an MFFO Surplus to be recurring for at least the next two calendar quarters, determined on a quarterly basis; (ii) Excess proceeds from third-party financings are available (“Excess Proceeds”), provided that the amount of any such Excess Proceeds that may be used to repay the principal amount outstanding under the advance shall be determined by the conflicts committee in its sole discretion; or (iii) Net sales proceeds from the sale of the Company’s real estate portfolio, after the pay down of any related debt and selling costs and expenses, are available. In determining whether Excess Proceeds are available to repay the advance, the Company’s conflicts committee will consider whether cash on hand could have been used to reduce the amount of third-party financing provided to the Company. If such cash could have been used instead of third-party financing, the third-party financing proceeds will be available to repay the advance. The Advisor may defer repayment of the advance notwithstanding that the Company would otherwise be obligated to repay the advance. Real Estate Property Co-Management Agreements In connection with its property acquisitions, the Company, through separate, indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into separate property management agreements (each, a “Property Management Agreement”) with the Co-Manager for each of its properties. Under each Property Management Agreement, the Co-Manager will provide certain management services related to these properties in addition to those provided by the third-party property managers. In exchange for these services, the Company pays the Co-Manager a monthly fee equal to a percentage of the rent, payable and actually collected for the month from each of the properties. Each Property Management Agreement has an initial term of one year and will be deemed renewed for successive one Property Name Effective Date Annual Fee Percentage Commonwealth Building 07/01/2016 1.25% The Offices at Greenhouse 11/14/2016 0.25% Institute Property 11/09/2017 1.00% Organization and Offering Costs Offering costs include all expenses incurred in connection with the offerings of securities by the Company. Organization costs include all expenses incurred in connection with the formation of the Company, including but not limited to legal fees and other costs to incorporate the Company. The Advisor or its affiliates have paid some of the offering costs related to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan offering (the “DRP”), including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees of the Company. The Company was responsible for reimbursing the Advisor for these costs. No reimbursements made by the Company to the Advisor may cause total organization and offering expenses incurred by the Company to exceed 15% of the aggregate gross offering proceeds of the DRP as of the date of reimbursement. Subject to the limitations described above, the Company was also responsible for reimbursing the Dealer Manager or its affiliates for organization and offering expenses that they incurred on the Company’s behalf. On August 5, 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved the termination of the DRP effective August 20, 2020. From January 1, 2020 through August 20, 2020, with respect to the DRP, neither the Advisor nor the Dealer Manager incurred any organization and offering expenses on behalf of the Company. The Advisor agreed to pay all organization and offering expenses related to the second private offering conducted by the Company, including selling commissions, directly on behalf of the Company without reimbursement by the Company. From the inception of the offering through August 5, 2020, the Advisor incurred approximately $5.5 million of organization and offering expenses related to the second private offering on behalf of the Company. On August 5, 2020, the Company’s board of directors terminated the second private offering. |
