Advisory Agreements and Partnership Agreements with the Managed Programs
 
We currently have advisory agreements with CPA:18 – Global and CESH, pursuant to which we earn fees and are entitled to receive reimbursement for certain fund management expenses. Upon completion of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger on April 13, 2020, as described below, our advisory agreements with CWI 1 and CWI 2 were terminated, and we no longer receive fees, reimbursements, or distributions of Available Cash from CWI 1 and CWI 2. We no longer raise capital for new or existing funds, but we currently expect to continue to manage CPA:18 – Global and CESH and earn various fees (as described below) through the end of their respective life cycles. We have partnership agreements with CPA:18 – Global and CESH, and under the partnership agreement with CPA:18 – Global, we are entitled to receive certain cash distributions from its operating partnership.
The following tables present a summary of revenue earned, reimbursable costs, and distributions of Available Cash received/accrued from the Managed Programs and WLT for the periods indicated, included in the consolidated financial statements (in thousands):

CESH1.0%In cashBased on gross assets at fair value

Structuring and Other Advisory Revenue
 
Under the terms of the advisory agreements with the Managed Programs, we may earn revenue for structuring and negotiating investments. For CPA:18 – Global and CESH, we may earn fees of 4.5% and 2.0%, respectively, of the total aggregate cost of the investments or commitments made.

Reimbursable Costs from Affiliates
 
The existing Managed Programs reimburse us in cash for certain personnel and overhead costs that we incur on their behalf. For CPA:18 – Global, such costs (excluding those related to our legal transactions group, our senior management, and our investments team) are charged to CPA:18 – Global based on the average of the trailing 12-month aggregate reported revenues of the Managed Programs and us, and personnel costs are capped at 1.0% of CPA:18 – Global’s pro rata lease revenues for both 2021 and 2020. Following the closing of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger on April 13, 2020, we began recording reimbursements from WLT pursuant to a transition services agreement (described below) based on actual expenses incurred. For CESH, reimbursements are based on actual expenses incurred.

Distributions of Available Cash
 
We are entitled to receive distributions of up to 10% of the Available Cash (as defined in CPA:18 – Global’s partnership agreement) from the operating partnership of CPA:18 – Global, payable quarterly in arrears.

Back-End Fees and Interests in the Managed Programs

Under our advisory agreements with certain of the Managed Programs, we may also receive compensation in connection with providing liquidity events for their stockholders. Such back-end fees or interests include or may include disposition fees, interests in disposition proceeds, and distributions related to ownership of shares or limited partnership units in the Managed Programs. For CPA:18 – Global, the timing and form of any liquidity event is at the discretion of its board of directors. Therefore, there can be no assurance as to whether or when any back-end fees or interests will be realized.

Other Transactions with Affiliates
 
CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger

The CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger closed on April 13, 2020 and is discussed in detail in the 2020 Annual Report. Subsequently, CWI 2 was renamed WLT, as described in Note 1.
In connection with the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, we entered into an internalization agreement and a transition services agreement. Immediately following the closing of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, (i) the advisory agreements with each of CWI 1 and CWI 2 and each of their respective operating partnerships terminated, (ii) the subadvisory agreements with the subadvisors for CWI 1 and CWI 2 were terminated, and (iii) we provided certain transition services at cost to WLT generally for a period of 12 months from closing. As of April 2021, all services provided under the transition services agreement have terminated, except for certain information systems and data services.

Pursuant to the internalization agreement, the operating partnerships of each of CWI 1 and CWI 2 redeemed the special general partner interests that we previously held, for which we received common stock and preferred stock of WLT (which was a non-cash investing activity), as disclosed in Note 7 and Note 8, respectively. In connection with this redemption, we recognized a non-cash net gain on sale of $33.0 million, which was included within (Losses) earnings from equity method investments in the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. This net gain on sale included a gain recognized on the redemption of the noncontrolling interest in the special general partner interests previously held by the respective subadvisors for CWI 1 and CWI 2 of $9.9 million (which is included within Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated statements of income and Redemption of noncontrolling interest in our consolidated statements of equity).

Loans to Affiliates

From time to time, our board of directors has approved the making of secured and unsecured loans or lines of credit from us to certain of the Managed Programs, at our sole discretion, generally for the purpose of facilitating acquisitions or for working capital purposes.

The principal outstanding balance on our line of credit to CPA:18 – Global was $15.0 million and $21.1 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In July 2021, we loaned an additional $10.0 million to CPA:18 – Global.

Other

At June 30, 2021, we owned interests in ten jointly owned investments in real estate (including our investment in shares of common stock of WLT, as described in Note 7), with the remaining interests held by affiliates or third parties. We account for nine such investments under the equity method of accounting (Note 7) and consolidate the remaining investment. In addition, we owned stock of CPA:18 – Global and limited partnership units of CESH at that date. We accounted for our investment in CPA:18 – Global under the equity method of accounting and elected to account for our investment in CESH under the fair value option (Note 7).
