Related Party Arrangements | 7. Related Party Arrangements The Company is externally advised and has no direct employees. All of the Company’s executive officers are executive officers, or on the board of managers, of the Advisor. In addition, certain directors and officers hold similar positions with CNL Securities Corp., the Dealer Manager of the Offering and a wholly owned subsidiary of CNL. In connection with services provided to the Company, affiliates are entitled to the following fees: Dealer Manager — In March 2017, the Company entered into an amended and restated dealer manager agreement pursuant to which the Dealer Manager receives a combined selling commission and dealer manager fee of up to 8.5% of the sale price for each Class A share and up to 4.75% of the sale price for each Class T share sold in the Primary Offering, all or a portion of which may be reallowed to participating broker dealers. In addition, for Class T shares sold in the Primary Offering, the Dealer Manager may choose the respective amounts of the commission and dealer manager fee, provided that the selling commission shall not exceed 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the completed sale of such Class T shares. The Company has and will continue to pay a distribution and stockholder servicing fee, subject to certain underwriting compensation limits, with respect to the Class T and Class I shares sold in the Primary Offering in an annual amount equal to 1% and 0.50%, respectively, of the current gross offering price per Class T or Class I share, respectively, or if the Company is no longer offering shares in a public offering, the estimated per share value per Class T or Class I share, respectively. The annual distribution and stockholder servicing fee will continue to be calculated as a percentage of the current gross offering price per Class T or Class I share until the Company reports an estimated per share value following the termination of the Primary Offering, at which point the distribution fee will be calculated based on the new estimated per share value, until such underwriting compensation limits are met or the shares are converted to Class A shares pursuant to the terms of the securities. 7. Related Party Arrangements (continued) The Company records the annual distribution and stockholder servicing fees as a reduction to capital in excess of par value and measures the related liability in an amount equal to the maximum fees owed in relation to the Class T and Class I shares on the shares’ issuance date. The liability is relieved over time, as the fees are paid to the Dealer Manager, or is adjusted if the fees are no longer owed on any Class T or Class I share that is redeemed or repurchased, as well as upon the earliest occurrence of: (i) a listing on a national securities exchange; (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (iii) after the termination of the Primary Offering in which the initial shares in the account were sold, the end of the month in which total underwriting compensation paid in the Primary Offering is not less than 10% of the gross proceeds from all share classes of the Primary Offering; (iv) the end of the month in which the total underwriting compensation paid in a Primary Offering with respect to shares purchased in a Primary Offering is not less than 8.5% of the gross offering price of those shares purchased in such Primary Offering (excluding shares purchased through the Reinvestment Plan and those received as stock dividends); or (v) any other conditions described in the Company’s prospectus. CNL Capital Markets Corp. — The Company will pay CNL Capital Markets Corp., an affiliate of CNL, an annual fee payable monthly based on the average number of total investor accounts that will be open during the term of the capital markets service agreement pursuant to which certain administrative services are provided to the Company. These services may include, but are not limited to, the facilitation and coordination of the transfer agent’s activities, client services and administrative call center activities, financial advisor administrative correspondence services, material distribution services and various reporting and troubleshooting activities. Advisor — The Company will pay the Advisor a monthly asset management fee in an amount equal to 0.0667% of the monthly average of the sum of the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s respective daily real estate asset value, without duplication, plus the outstanding principal amount of any loans made, plus the amount invested in other permitted investments. For this purpose, “real estate asset value” equals the amount invested in wholly-owned properties, determined on the basis of cost, and in the case of properties owned by any joint venture or partnership in which the Company is a co-venturer or partner the portion of the cost of such properties paid by the Company, exclusive of acquisition fees and acquisition expenses and will not be reduced for any recognized impairment. Any recognized impairment loss will not reduce the real estate asset value for the purposes of calculating the asset management fee. The asset management fee, which will not exceed fees which are competitive for similar services in the same geographic area, may or may not be taken, in whole or in part as to any year, in the Advisor’s sole discretion. All or any portion of the asset management fee not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine. The Company will pay the Advisor a construction management fee of up to 1% of hard and soft costs associated with the initial construction or renovation of a property, or with the management and oversight of expansion projects and other capital improvements, in those cases in which the value of the construction, renovation, expansion or improvements exceeds (i) 10% of the initial purchase price of the property and (ii) $1 million in which case such fee will be due and payable as draws are funded for such projects. The Advisor will receive an investment services fee of 2.25% of the purchase price of properties and funds advanced for loans or the amount invested in the case of other assets for services in connection with the selection, evaluation, structure and purchase of assets. No investment services fee will be paid to the Advisor in connection with the Company’s purchase of securities. 7. Related Party Arrangements (continued) The Advisor, its affiliates and related parties also are entitled to reimbursement of certain operating expenses in connection with their provision of services to the Company, including personnel costs, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse the Advisor for any amount by which operating expenses exceed the greater of 2% of its average invested assets or 25% of its net income in any four consecutive fiscal quarters (“Expense Year”) unless approved by the independent directors. The Company commenced its Primary Offering in March 2016 and made its first investment in March 2017. For the Expense Year ended March 31, 2018, the Company’s total operating expenses were in excess of this limitation by approximately $0.5 million. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had received cumulative approvals from its independent directors for total operating expenses in excess of this limitation of approximately $0.7 million. The Company’s independent directors determined that the higher relationship of operating expenses to average invested assets was justified based on the Company being in the early stages of raising and deploying capital and the limited number of investments to date, both of which were impacted by the downtime required to modify the dealer manager agreement to reduce overall underwriting compensation as discussed above, and the cost of operating a public company. The Advisor will pay all other organizational and offering expenses incurred in connection with the formation of the Company, without reimbursement by the Company. These expenses include, but are not limited to, Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registration fees, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) filing fees, printing and mailing expenses, blue sky fees and expenses, legal fees and expenses, accounting fees and expenses, advertising and sales literature, transfer agent fees, due diligence expenses, personnel costs associated with processing investor subscriptions, escrow fees and other administrative expenses of the Offering. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company paid cash distributions of approximately $38,000 and $29,000, respectively, and issued stock dividends of approximately 7,400 shares and 1,500 shares, respectively, to the Advisor. Pursuant to an expense support arrangement, the Advisor has agreed to accept payment in restricted stock in lieu of cash for services rendered, in the event that the Company does not achieve established distribution coverage targets (“Expense Support Agreement”). Under the terms of the Expense Support Agreement, for each quarter within a calendar expense support year, the Company will record a proportional estimate of the cumulative year-to-date period based on an estimate of the annual expense support expected for the calendar expense support year. In exchange for services rendered and in consideration of the expense support provided under this arrangement, the Company shall issue, following each determination date, a number of shares of restricted stock equal to the quotient of the expense support amount provided by the Advisor for the preceding year divided by the board of directors’ most recent determination of net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Class A common shares, if the board has made such a determination, or otherwise the most recent public offering price per Class A common share, on the terms and conditions and subject to the restrictions set forth in the Expense Support Agreement. The restricted stock is subordinated and forfeited to the extent that shareholders do not receive a Priority Return on their Invested Capital (as such terms are defined in the Company’s prospectus), excluding for the purposes of calculating this threshold any shares of restricted stock owned by the Advisor. 7.
