Cole Capital
Cole Capital is contractually responsible for managing the Cole REITs’ affairs on a day-to-day basis, identifying and making acquisitions and investments on the Cole REITs’ behalf, and recommending to the respective board of directors of each of the Cole REITs an approach for providing investors with liquidity. In addition, the Company distributes the shares of common stock for certain Cole REITs and advises them regarding offerings, manages relationships with participating broker-dealers and financial advisors and provides assistance in connection with compliance matters relating to the offerings. The Company receives compensation and reimbursement for services relating to the Cole REITs’ offerings and the investment, management and disposition of their respective assets, as applicable.
Offering-Related Revenue
The Company generally receives a selling commission, dealer manager fee and/or a distribution and stockholder servicing fee based on the gross offering proceeds related to the sale of shares of the Cole REITs’ common stock in their primary offerings. The Company has reallowed 100% of selling commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. The Company, in its sole discretion, may reallow all or a portion of its dealer manager fee to such participating broker-dealers as a marketing and due diligence expense reimbursement, based on factors such as the volume of shares issued by such participating broker-dealers and the amount of marketing support provided by such participating broker-dealers. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees are paid to the Company or other broker-dealers with respect to shares issued under the respective Cole REIT’s distribution reinvestment plan, under which the stockholders may elect to have distributions reinvested in additional shares.
All other organization and offering expenses associated with the sale of the Cole REITs’ common stock are paid for in advance by the Company and subject to reimbursement by the Cole REITs, up to certain limits in accordance with their respective advisory agreements and charters. As these costs are incurred, they are recorded as reimbursement revenue, up to the respective limit, and are included in offering-related revenues in the financial results for Cole Capital. Expenses paid on behalf of the Cole REITs in excess of these limits that are expected to be collected based on future estimated offering proceeds are recorded as program development costs, which are included in rent and tenant receivables and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company assesses the collectability of the program development costs, considering the offering period and historical and forecasted sales of shares under the Cole REITs’ respective offerings and reserves for any balances considered not collectible. Additional reserves are generally recorded if actual proceeds raised from the offerings and corresponding program development costs incurred differ from management’s assumptions. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had organization and offering costs recorded as program development costs, included in rent and tenant receivables and other assets, net in the consolidated balance sheets, of $12.3 million and $12.9 million, respectively, which were net of reserves of $18.8 million and $34.8 million, respectively.
