Related Party Transactions | Note 8. Related Party Transactions Fees to Affiliates Our Private Offering Advisory Agreement and our Private Offering Dealer Manager Agreement entitled our Advisor and our Dealer Manager to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the Private Offering and investment of funds in real estate properties, among other services, as well as reimbursement for organization and offering costs incurred by our Advisor on our behalf and reimbursement of certain costs and expenses incurred by our Advisor in providing services to us. Additionally, the Advisory Agreement, Dealer Manager Agreement, and transfer agent agreement (the “Transfer Agent Agreement”) executed in connection with the Public Offering, entitle our Advisor, our Dealer Manager and our Transfer Agent to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the Public Offering and investment of funds in real estate properties, among other services, as well as reimbursement for organizational and offering costs incurred by our Advisor on our behalf and reimbursement of certain costs and expenses incurred by our Advisor and our Transfer Agent in providing services to us. Organization and Offering Costs Organization and offering costs of the Public Offering may be paid by our Advisor on our behalf and will be reimbursed to our Advisor from the proceeds of our Primary Offering; provided, however, that our Advisor will fund, and will not be reimbursed for, 1.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of Class W shares. Organization and offering costs consist of all expenses (other than sales commissions, dealer manager fees, stockholder servicing fees, and dealer manager servicing fees) to be paid by us in connection with the Public Offering, including our legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees and other accountable organization and offering expenses, including, but not limited to, (i) amounts to reimburse our Advisor for all marketing related costs and expenses such as salaries and direct expenses of employees of our Advisor and its affiliates in connection with registering and marketing our shares; (ii) technology costs associated with the Public Offering; (iii) our costs of conducting our training and education meetings; (iv) our costs of attending retail seminars conducted by participating broker-dealers; and (v) payment or reimbursement of bona fide due diligence expenses. We also incurred similar organization and offering costs in connection with our Primary Private Offering. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, our Advisor will be required to reimburse us within 60 days after the end of the month which the Public Offering terminates to the extent we paid or reimbursed organization and offering costs (excluding sales commissions, dealer manager fees, stockholder servicing fees, and dealer manager servicing fees) in excess of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds from the Primary Offering. Advisory Agreements We do not have any employees. Our Advisor is primarily responsible for managing our business affairs and carrying out the directives of our board of directors. Our Advisor receives various fees and expenses under the terms of our Advisory Agreement. As discussed above, we are required to reimburse our Advisor for organization and offering costs from the Offerings; provided, however, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, our Advisor will fund, and will not be reimbursed for, 1.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of Class W shares in the Primary Offering and will be required to reimburse us within 60 days after the end of the month in which the Public Offering terminates to the extent we paid or reimbursed organization and offering costs (excluding sales commissions, dealer manager fees, stockholder servicing fees, and dealer manager servicing fees) in excess of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds from the Primary Offering. The Advisory Agreement also requires our Advisor to reimburse us to the extent that offering expenses, including sales commissions, dealer manager fees, stockholder servicing fees and dealer manager servicing fees, are in excess of 15% of gross proceeds from the Primary Offering. Our Advisor was due acquisition fees pursuant to the Private Offering Advisory Agreement equal to 2% of the contract purchase price of each property we acquired while such agreement was in effect. Prior to the amendment of the Advisory Agreement on September 6, 2018 (the “AA Amendment”), our Advisor received acquisition fees equal to 1.75% of the contract purchase price of each property we acquired. However, as a result of the AA Amendment, we will no longer incur acquisition fees. Our Advisor received reimbursement of any acquisition expenses our Advisor incurred pursuant to the Private Offering Advisory Agreement, which continues under the Advisory Agreement. Our Advisor was entitled to receive a monthly asset management fee equal to 0.05417% (which is one twelfth of 0.65%) of our aggregate asset value, pursuant to the Private Offering Advisory Agreement. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, our Advisor, effective May 1, 2018, is also entitled to receive a monthly asset management fee. This fee was initially equal to 0.05208% (which is one twelfth of 0.625%) of our average invested assets, as defined by the Advisory Agreement, but the AA Amendment later increased this fee to 0.66667% (which is one twelfth of 0.8%) of our average invested assets. Pursuant to the Private Offering Advisory Agreement, our Advisor was due a financing fee of up to 0.5% of the borrowed amount of a loan for arranging for financing in connection with the acquisition, development or repositioning of our properties. Our Advisor will not receive financing fees pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. Under our Private Offering Advisory Agreement, our Advisor would have been due disposition fees equal to 3% of the contract sales price of each property sold inclusive of any real estate commissions paid to third party real estate brokers. However, no such disposition fees were paid, as we have not sold any properties. Moreover, we will not owe our Advisor any disposition fees going forward, as no such fees will be due under the Advisory Agreement. Our Advisor may also be entitled to various subordinated distributions under our operating partnership agreement if we (1) list our shares of common stock on a national exchange, (2) do not renew or terminate the Advisory Agreement, (3) liquidate our portfolio or (4) effect a merger or other corporate reorganization. The Private Offering Advisory Agreement and Advisory Agreement provide for reimbursement of our Advisor’s direct and indirect costs of providing administrative and management services to us. Beginning four fiscal quarters after commencement of the Public Offering, pursuant to our Advisory Agreement, our Advisor will be required to pay or reimburse us the amount by which our aggregate annual operating expenses, as defined, exceed the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income, as defined, unless a majority of our independent directors determine that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For any fiscal quarter for which total operating expenses for the 12 months then ended exceed the limitation, we will disclose this fact in our next quarterly report or within 60 days of the end of that quarter and send a written disclosure of this fact to our stockholders. In each case the disclosure will include an explanation of the factors that the independent directors considered in arriving at the conclusion that the excess expenses were justified. Dealer Manager Agreements In connection with our Primary Private Offering, our Dealer Manager received a sales commission of up to 6.0% of gross proceeds from sales in the Primary Private Offering and a dealer manager fee equal to up to 3.0% of gross proceeds from sales in the Primary Private Offering under the terms of the Private Offering Dealer Manager Agreement; provided, however, for all shares sold pursuant to our Primary Private Offering through the Discount Termination Date, dealer manager fees were reduced to an amount of up 2.0% of gross proceeds from sales in the Primary Private Offering. In connection with our Public Offering, our Dealer Manager receives a sales commission of up to 6.0% of gross proceeds from sales of Class A shares and up to 3% of gross proceeds from the sales of Class T shares in the Primary Offering and a dealer manager fee of up to 3.0% of gross proceeds from sales of both Class A and Class T shares in the Primary Offering under the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement. Our Dealer Manager does not receive an upfront sales commission or dealer manager fee from sales of Class W shares in the Primary Offering. In addition, our Dealer Manager will receive an ongoing stockholder servicing fee that is payable monthly and accrues daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1% of the purchase price per share of the Class T shares sold in the Primary Offering. Our Dealer Manager will also receive an ongoing dealer manager servicing fee that is payable monthly and accrues daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 0.5% of the purchase price per share of the Class W shares sold in the Primary Offering. We will cease paying the stockholder servicing fee with respect to the Class T shares sold in the Primary Offering at the earlier of (i) the date we list our shares on a national securities exchange, merge or consolidate with or into another entity, or sell or dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, (ii) the date at which the aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources equals 10% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Class A shares, Class T shares, and Class W shares in our Primary Offering (i.e., excluding proceeds from sales pursuant to our Distribution Reinvestment Plan), which calculation shall be made by the Company with the assistance of our Dealer Manager commencing after the termination of our Primary Offering; (iii) with respect to a particular Class T share, the third anniversary of the issuance of the share; and (iv) the date that such Class T share is redeemed or is no longer outstanding. We will cease paying the dealer manager servicing fee with respect to the Class W shares sold in the Primary Offering at the earlier of (i) the date we list our shares on a national securities exchange, merge or consolidate with or into another entity, or sell or dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, (ii) the date at which the aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources equals 10% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Class A shares, Class T shares, and Class W shares in our Primary Offering (i.e., excluding proceeds from sales pursuant to our Distribution Reinvestment Plan), which calculation shall be made by the Company with the assistance of our Dealer Manager commencing after the termination of our Primary Offering; (iii) the end of the month in which the aggregate dealer manager servicing fees paid in our Primary Offering with respect to Class W shares equals 9.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Class W shares in our Primary Offering (i.e., excluding proceeds from sales pursuant to our Distribution Reinvestment Plan), which calculation shall be made by us with the assistance of our Dealer Manager commencing after the termination of our Primary Offering, and (iv) the date that such Class W share is redeemed or is no longer outstanding. In connection with our Public Offering, our Dealer Manager will enter into participating dealer agreements with certain other broker-dealers which will authorize them to sell our shares. Upon sale of our shares by such broker-dealers, our Dealer Manager will re-allow all of the sales commissions paid in connection with sales made by these broker-dealers. Our Dealer Manager may also re-allow to these broker-dealers a portion of their dealer manager fee as marketing fees, reimbursement of certain costs and expenses of attending training and education meetings sponsored by our Dealer Manager, payment of attendance fees required for employees of our Dealer Manager or other affiliates to attend retail seminars and public seminars sponsored by these broker-dealers, or to defray other distribution-related expenses. Our Dealer Manager will also receive reimbursement of bona fide due diligence expenses; however, to the extent these due diligence expenses cannot be justified, any excess over actual due diligence expenses will be considered underwriting compensation subject to a 10% FINRA limitation and, when aggregated with all other non-accountable expenses in connection with our Public Offering, may not exceed 3% of gross offering proceeds from sales in the Public Offering. Affiliated Dealer Manager Our Sponsor owns, through a wholly-owned limited liability company, a 15% non-voting equity interest in our Dealer Manager. Affiliates of our Dealer Manager own a 2.5% non-voting membership interest in our Advisor, which they acquired on January 1, 2018. Transfer Agent Agreement Our Sponsor is the owner and manager of our Transfer Agent, which is a registered transfer agent with the SEC. Effective in May 2018, our Transfer Agent processes subscription agreements and certain other forms directly, as well as provides customer service to our stockholders. These services include, among other things, processing payment of any sales commission and dealer manager fees associated with a particular purchase, as well as processing the distributions and any servicing fees with respect to our shares. Additionally, our Transfer Agent may retain and supervise third party vendors in its efforts to administer certain services. We believe that our Transfer Agent, through its knowledge and understanding of the direct participation program industry which includes non-traded REITs, is particularly suited to provide us with Transfer Agent and registrar services. Our Transfer Agent also conducts transfer agent and registrar services for other non-traded REITs sponsored by our Sponsor. It is the duty of our board of directors to evaluate the performance of our Transfer Agent. In connection with the engagement of our Transfer Agent, we paid a one-time initial setup fee of $50,000. In addition, the other fees to be paid to our Transfer Agent are based on a fixed quarterly fee, one-time account setup fees and monthly open account fees. In addition, we will reimburse our Transfer Agent for all reasonable expenses or other changes incurred by it in connection with the provision of its services to us, and we will pay our Transfer Agent fees for any additional services we may request from time to time, in accordance with its rates then in effect. Upon the request of our Transfer Agent, we may also advance payment for substantial reasonable out-of-pocket expenditures to be incurred by it. The initial term of the Transfer Agent Agreement is three years, which term will be automatically renewed for one year successive terms, but either party may terminate the Transfer Agent Agreement upon 90 days’ prior written notice. In the event that we terminate the Transfer Agent Agreement, other than for cause, we will pay our Transfer Agent all amounts that would have otherwise accrued during the remaining term of the Transfer Agent Agreement; provided, however, that when calculating the remaining months in the term for such purposes, such term is deemed to be a 12 month period starting from the date of the most recent annual anniversary date. Property Managers Pursuant to our Advisory Agreement, our Advisor is responsible for overseeing any third party property managers or operators and may delegate such responsibility to its affiliates. Our Advisor has assigned such oversight responsibilities to our Property Manager. Currently, we expect to rely on third party property managers and senior living operators to manage and operate our properties. Effective May 1, 2018, we now pay our Property Manager an oversight fee equal to 1% of the gross revenues attributable to such properties; provided, however, that our Property Manager will receive an oversight fee equal to 1.5% of the gross revenues attributable to any senior housing property other than such properties that are leased to third party tenants under triple-net or similar lease structures. In the event any of our properties are managed directly by our Property Manager, we will pay our Property Manager a property management fee that is approved by a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors not otherwise interested in such transaction, as being fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions not less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements described above, the following table summarizes related party costs incurred and paid by us for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, as well as any related amounts payable as of December 31, 2018 and 2017: Year Ended December 31, 2017 Year Ended December 31, 2018 Incurred Paid Payable Incurred Paid Payable Expensed Operating expenses (including organizational costs) $ 394,654 $ 271,229 $ 123,425 $ 798,899 $ 550,938 $ 371,386 Transfer Agent expenses — — — 107,473 58,000 49,473 Asset management fees (1) 135,163 93,492 41,671 1,303,198 262,347 1,082,522 Property management oversight fees — — — 244,623 44,336 200,287 Acquisition expenses 2,310,020 2,310,020 — 154,311 154,311 — Capitalized Debt issuance costs 499,382 465,500 33,882 357,025 390,907 — Acquisition expenses — — — 3,180,000 1,200,000 1,980,000 Additional Paid-in Capital Selling commissions 3,947,269 3,915,109 32,160 894,118 926,278 — Dealer Manager fees 1,490,524 1,474,704 15,820 511,522 527,342 — Stockholder servicing fees and dealer manager servicing fees (2) — — — 47,955 1,009 46,946 Offering costs 508,350 508,350 — 913,383 406,331 507,052 Total $ 9,285,362 $ 9,038,404 $ 246,958 $ 8,512,507 $ 4,521,799 $ 4,237,666 (1) For the year ended December 31, 2017 and the four months ended April 30, 2018, the Advisor permanently waived one half of the asset management fee totaling approximately $135,000 and $160,000, respectively. Such amounts were waived permanently and accordingly, will not be paid to the Advisor. Commensurate with our Public Offering being declared effective on May 1, 2018, the Advisor is no longer waiving asset management fees.
