Cole Capital
The Company was 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 was responsible for raising capital for certain Cole REITs, advised them regarding offerings, managed relationships with participating broker-dealers and financial advisors, and provided assistance in connection with compliance matters relating to the offerings. The Company received compensation and reimbursement for services relating to the Cole REITs’ offerings and the investment, management and disposition of their respective assets, as applicable.
As discussed in Note 5 —Discontinued Operations, the Company entered into the Cole Capital Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell substantially all of Cole Capital. The sale closed on February 1, 2018. The assets and liabilities transferred pursuant to the Cole Capital Purchase and Sale Agreement and related financial results are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. At closing, the Company entered into the Services Agreement with the Cole Purchaser pursuant to which the Company will continue to provide certain services to the Cole Purchaser and the Cole REITs, including operational real estate support, over the next year. Under the terms of the Services Agreement, the Company will be entitled to receive reimbursement for certain of the services provided. The Company could also receive Net Revenue Payments over the next six years if future revenues of Cole Capital exceed a specified dollar threshold, up to an aggregate of $80.0 million in Net Revenue Payments.
Offering-Related Revenue
The Company generally received 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 reallowed 100% of selling commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. The Company, in its sole discretion, could reallow all or a portion of its dealer manager and distribution and stockholder servicing 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. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees were 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.
