RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has incurred commissions, fees and expenses payable to CR IV Advisors and certain of its affiliates in connection with the Offerings and the acquisition, management and disposition of its assets.
Selling commissions and dealer manager fees
In connection with the Offering, CCC, the Company’s dealer manager for the Offering, received selling commissions of up to 7.0% of gross offering proceeds before reallowance of selling commissions earned by participating broker-dealers. CCC reallowed 100% of selling commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. In addition, CCC received up to 2.0% of gross offering proceeds before reallowance to participating broker-dealers as a dealer manager fee in connection with the primary portion of the Offering. CCC, in its sole discretion, reallowed a portion of its dealer manager fee to such participating broker-dealers. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees are or were paid to CCC or other participating broker-dealers with respect to shares issued pursuant to the DRIP portion of the Offering or the DRIP Offerings.
Other organization and offering expenses
All other organization and offering expenses associated with the sale of the Company’s common stock in the Offering (excluding selling commissions and dealer manager fees) were paid by CR IV Advisors or its affiliates and were reimbursed by the Company up to 2.0% of aggregate gross offering proceeds. A portion of the other organization and offering expenses were considered to be underwriting compensation.
Acquisition fees and expenses
The Company pays CR IV Advisors or its affiliates acquisition fees of up to 2.0% of: (1) the contract purchase price of each property or asset the Company acquires; (2) the amount paid in respect of the development, construction or improvement of each asset the Company acquires; (3) the purchase price of any loan the Company acquires; and (4) the principal amount of any loan the Company originates. In addition, the Company reimburses CR IV Advisors or its affiliates for acquisition-related expenses incurred in the process of acquiring properties, so long as the total acquisition fees and expenses relating to the transaction do not exceed 6.0% of the contract purchase price.
Advisory fees and expenses
The Company pays CR IV Advisors a monthly advisory fee based upon the Company’s monthly average invested assets, which effective October 1, 2016, is based on the estimated market value of such assets used to determine the Company’s estimated per share NAV as of September 30, 2016, as discussed in Note 1 — Organization and Business, and for those assets acquired subsequent to September 30, 2016, is based on the purchase price. The monthly advisory fee is equal to the following amounts: (1) an annualized rate of 0.75% paid on the Company’s average invested assets that are between $0 and $2.0 billion; (2) an annualized rate of 0.70% paid on the Company’s average invested assets that are between $2.0 billion and $4.0 billion; and (3) an annualized rate of 0.65% paid on the Company’s average invested assets that are over $4.0 billion.
Operating expenses
The Company reimburses CR IV Advisors or its affiliates for certain expenses CR IV Advisors or its affiliates paid or incurred in connection with the services provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse CR IV Advisors or its affiliates for any amount by which the operating expenses (including the advisory fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceed the greater of: (1) 2.0% of average invested assets, or (2) 25.0% of net income excluding any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period. The Company will not reimburse CR IV Advisors or its affiliates for the salaries and benefits paid to personnel in connection with the services for which CR IV Advisors receives acquisition fees, and the Company will not reimburse CR IV Advisors for salaries and benefits paid to the Company’s executive officers.
Disposition fees
If CR IV Advisors or its affiliates provide a substantial amount of services (as determined by a majority of the Company’s independent directors) in connection with the sale of one or more properties (or the Company’s entire portfolio), the Company will pay CR IV Advisors or its affiliates a disposition fee in an amount equal to up to one-half of the real estate or brokerage commission paid by the Company to third parties on the sale of such properties, not to exceed 1.0% of the contract price of the properties sold; provided, however, in no event may the total disposition fees paid to CR IV Advisors, its affiliates and unaffiliated third parties exceed the lesser of the customary competitive real estate commission or an amount equal to 6.0% of the contract sales price. During each of the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, no disposition fees were incurred for any such services provided by CR IV Advisors or its affiliates.
Subordinated performance fees
If the Company is sold or its assets are liquidated, CR IV Advisors will be entitled to receive a subordinated performance fee equal to 15.0% of the net sale proceeds remaining after investors have received, from regular distributions plus special distributions paid from proceeds of such sale, a return of their net capital invested and an 8.0% annual cumulative, non-compounded return. Alternatively, if the Company’s shares are listed on a national securities exchange, CR IV Advisors will be entitled to a subordinated performance fee equal to 15.0% of the amount by which the market value of the Company’s outstanding stock plus all distributions paid by the Company prior to listing, exceeds the sum of the total amount of capital raised from investors and the amount of distributions necessary to generate an 8.0% annual cumulative, non-compounded return to investors. As an additional alternative, upon termination of the advisory agreement, CR IV Advisors may be entitled to a subordinated performance fee similar to the fee to which CR IV Advisors would have been entitled had the portfolio been liquidated (based on an independent appraised value of the portfolio) on the date of termination. During each of the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, no subordinated performance fees were incurred related to any such events.
