Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Amendment and Renewal of Advisory Agreement
Black Creek Diversified Property Fund Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), Black Creek Diversified Property Operating Partnership LP, the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), and Black Creek Diversified Property Advisors LLC, the Company’s advisor (the “Advisor”), previously entered into that certain Twelfth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2017 and effective through June 30, 2018 (the “Twelfth Advisory Agreement”). On June 21, 2018, the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Advisor renewed and amended the Twelfth Advisory Agreement by entering into the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement 2018, effective as of June 30, 2018, and renewed through June 30, 2019 (the “2018 Advisory Agreement”). In addition, the 2018 Advisory Agreement contains amendments relating to presentation and allocation of investment opportunities by the Advisor. Specifically, as amended, if the Advisor or its affiliates thereof have sponsored other investment programs with similar investment objectives which have investment funds available at the same time as the Company, it shall be the duty of the Company’s directors (including the independent directors) to ensure that the Advisor and its affiliates follow an allocation method that is reasonable and fairly applied. The Advisor shall provide the information necessary for the directors to make this determination. Further, as amended, the Advisor is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Company which is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company, but neither the Advisor nor any affiliate of the Advisor is obligated generally to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company even if the opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company. In the event an investment opportunity is identified, the allocation procedure set forth in the Company’s prospectus (as such procedures may be amended from time to time) shall govern the allocation of the opportunity among the Company and affiliates of the Advisor. The parties to the agreement acknowledge that the Advisor may provide advice and render services to persons that will compete with the Company for investments.
