__________
(a)
The carrying value of this investment is affected by the impact of fluctuations in the exchange rate of the applicable foreign currency.
(b)
This investment is a VIE.
(c)
In January 2017, our Hellweg 2 jointly owned equity investment repaid non-recourse mortgage loans at maturity with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $243.8 million, of which we contributed $90.3 million (amounts are based on the exchange rate of the euro as of the date of repayment). This contribution was accounted for as a capital contribution to equity investments in real estate.
(d)
On May 23, 2017, we entered into a joint venture investment to acquire a 70% interest in a real estate portfolio for a total cost of $141.5 million (dollar amount is based on the exchange rate of the euro on the date of acquisition), which excludes our portion of mortgage financing totaling $88.0 million. This was structured as a sale-leaseback transaction in which the tenant retained the remaining 30% interest in the real estate portfolio. The portfolio includes 18 retail stores and one warehouse collectively located in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, which we will account for as an equity method investment as the minority shareholders have significant influence. All major decisions that significantly impact the economic performance of the entity require a unanimous decision vote from each of the shareholders.
(e)
This investment represents a tenancy-in-common interest, whereby the property is encumbered by debt for which we are jointly and severally liable. The co-obligor is WPC and the amount due under the arrangement was approximately $75.4 million at September 30, 2017. Of this amount, $64.1 million represents the amount we are liable for and is included within the carrying value of this investment at September 30, 2017.
(f)
This investment is reported using the hypothetical liquidation at book value model.
(g)
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized an impairment charge of $6.3 million related to our Apply equity method investment (Note 8).
(h)
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized an impairment charge of $2.5 million related to our Agrokor equity method investment (Note 8).
(i)
Represents a domestic ADC Arrangement. There was no unfunded balance on the loan related to this investment at September 30, 2017. On October 3, 2017, we restructured our Shelborne hotel investment by converting our loan to equity (Note 15).
(j)
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as a result of Hurricane Irma, we incurred damage at the hotel, which is expected to be covered by insurance after the estimated deductible of $1.7 million is paid. We recognized this charge within Equity in (losses) earnings of equity method investments in real estate on our consolidated financial statements.
(k)
As of December 31, 2016, the carrying value included our investment in the Wheel Loan (Note 5) that was considered to be a VIE and was reported using the hypothetical liquidation at book value model. The Wheel Loan was restructured on March 17, 2017 and, as a result, we have reclassified the equity investment to a loan receivable, included in Other assets, net and will no longer consider this to be a VIE.
(l)
This investment represents a preferred equity interest, with a preferred rate of return of 12%. On May 19, 2017, we received the full repayment of our preferred equity interest totaling $27.0 million; therefore, the preferred equity interest is now retired.
