INLAND REAL ESTATE INCOME TRUST, INC.  

 

180,000,000      shares of common stock — maximum offering
200,000      shares of common stock — minimum offering

 

We are a Maryland corporation organized on August 24, 2011 and sponsored by Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation, or “IREIC.”  We intend to acquire, directly or indirectly, a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate located throughout the United States.  We will focus primarily on retail properties, office buildings, multi-family properties and industrial/distribution and warehouse facilities.  We may acquire these properties directly or through joint ventures.  We also may invest in real estate-related equity securities as well as commercial mortgage-backed securities. We are offering 150,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $10.00 per share on a “best efforts” basis through Inland Securities Corporation, or “Inland Securities,” our dealer manager. “Best efforts” means that Inland Securities is not obligated to purchase any specific number or dollar amount of shares. We also are offering up to 30,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.50 per share to stockholders who elect to participate in our distribution reinvestment plan. In each case, the offering price was determined by our board of directors.  We reserve the right to reallocate the shares offered between our “best efforts” offering and the distribution reinvestment plan.  We intend to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or “REIT,” commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 2012 or our first year of material operations. We expect that shares of our common stock will be issued in book entry form only.  We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced public reporting requirements in future filings.

 

Investing in our common stock involves a substantial degree of risk. You should purchase shares of our common stock only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See Risk Factorsbeginning on page 34.  Material risks of an investment in our common stock include:

 

·   No public market currently exists, and one may never exist, for our shares. Our board does not have any current plans to list our shares or pursue any other liquidity event, and we cannot guarantee that a liquidity event will occur.

·   The offering price is not indicative of the price at which you may be able to sell your shares, and is not based on the book value or net asset value of our current or expected investments or our current or expected cash flow.

·   We cannot guarantee that we will pay distributions.

·   We may pay distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including borrowings and net offering proceeds, and we have not limited our use of any of these other sources. Payments of distributions from sources other than cash flows from operations may reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in real estate assets.

·   The number of real estate assets we acquire will depend on the net proceeds raised in this offering.

·   We do not have employees and will rely on our business manager and real estate managers to manage our business and assets.

·   Persons performing services for our business manager are employed by IREIC or its affiliates and will face competing demands for their time and service.

·   We do not have arm’s length agreements with our business manager, real estate managers or other affiliates of our sponsor.

·   We will pay significant fees to our business manager, real estate managers and other affiliates of IREIC.

·   This is a “blind pool” offering because we have not identified the specific real estate assets that we will acquire with the net proceeds raised in this offering.

·   On acquiring shares, you will experience dilution in the net tangible book value of your shares.

·   Principal and interest payments on any borrowings will reduce the funds available for distribution.

·   There are limits on the ownership and transferability of our shares.  Please see “Description of Securities — Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer.”

·   We may fail to qualify as a REIT.

 

Inland Securities is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or “FINRA.”  The minimum purchase requirement in this offering is 300 shares at a price of $10.00 per share ($3,000) for individuals and 100 shares at a price of $10.00 per share ($1,000) for tax-exempt entities.  We will not sell any shares unless we sell a minimum of 200,000 shares of our common stock by October 18, 2013, which is one year from the effective date of this offering. Prior to the time we sell at least 200,000 shares of our common stock, subscription payments will be placed in an account held by UMB Bank, N.A. as escrow agent.  If we are not able to sell at least 200,000 shares by October 18, 2013, we will terminate this offering and funds in the escrow account, including any interest, will be returned to subscribers within ten business days.  Any purchases of shares by our sponsor, directors, officers and other affiliates will be included for purposes of determining whether the minimum of 200,000 shares of our common stock required to release funds from the escrow account has been sold.  This offering will end no later than October 18, 2014, unless extended.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The use of forecasts in this offering is prohibited. Any representation to the contrary and any predictions, written or oral, as to the amount or certainty of any present or the future cash benefit or tax consequence which may flow from an investment in our common stock is not permitted.  No one is authorized to make any statements about this offering different from those that appear in this prospectus. We will accept subscriptions only from people who meet the suitability standards described in this prospectus. The description of our company contained in this prospectus was accurate as of October 18, 2012.  We will amend or supplement this prospectus if there are any material changes in our affairs.

 SUITABILITY STANDARDS

 

An investment in our common stock involves significant risk and is suitable only for persons who have adequate financial means, desire a relatively long-term investment and who will not need immediate liquidity from their investment. Persons who meet this standard and seek to diversify their personal portfolios with a real estate-based investment, preserve capital, receive current income, obtain the benefits of potential long-term capital appreciation and who are able to hold their investment for a time period consistent with our liquidity plans are most likely to benefit from an investment in our company. On the other hand, we caution persons who require immediate liquidity or guaranteed income, or who seek a short-term investment not to consider an investment in our common stock as meeting these needs.

 

In order to purchase shares in this offering, you must:

 

·           meet the applicable financial suitability standards as described below; and

 

·           purchase at least the minimum number of shares as described below.

 

We have established suitability standards for initial investors and subsequent purchasers of shares from our stockholders. These suitability standards require that an investor have, excluding the value of the investor’s home, home furnishings and automobiles, either:

 

·            minimum net worth of at least $250,000; or

 

·            minimum annual gross income of at least $70,000 and a minimum net worth of at least $70,000.

 

Several states have established suitability requirements that are more stringent than the standards that we have established and described above. Shares will be sold to investors in these states only if they meet the special suitability standards set forth below. In each case, these special suitability standards exclude from the calculation of net worth the value of the investor’s home, home furnishings and automobiles.

 

·              California — You must have either (1) a minimum net worth of at least $250,000 or (2) a minimum annual gross income of at least $70,000 and a minimum net worth of at least $100,000.

In the case of sales to fiduciary accounts (such as an IRA, Keogh Plan or pension or profit-sharing plan), these minimum suitability standards must be satisfied by the beneficiary, the fiduciary account, or by the donor or grantor who directly or indirectly supplies the funds to purchase shares of our common stock if the donor or the grantor is the fiduciary. In the case of gifts to minors, the minimum suitability standards must be met by the custodian of the account or by the donor.

 

We, IREIC, our dealer manager and each soliciting dealer must make every reasonable effort to determine that the purchase of common stock is a suitable and appropriate investment for each investor based on the information provided by the investor in the subscription agreement or otherwise.

 

MINIMUM PURCHASE

 

Subject to the restrictions imposed by state law, we will sell shares of our common stock only to investors who initially purchase a minimum of 300 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share for a total purchase price of $3,000, or tax-exempt entities which purchase a minimum of 100 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share for a total purchase price of $1,000.  Except in respect of a transfer made pursuant to a transfer on death designation or a qualified transfer to meet a required minimum distribution, you may not transfer fewer shares than the minimum purchase requirement.  A tax-exempt entity is generally any investor that is exempt from federal income taxation, including:

 

·              a pension, profit-sharing, retirement, IRA or other employee benefit plan that satisfies the requirements for qualification under Section 401(a), 414(d) or 414(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);

 

·              a pension, profit-sharing, retirement, IRA or other employee benefit plan that meets the requirements of Section 457 of the Code;

·               a voluntary employees’ beneficiary association under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code; or

 

·               an IRA that meets the requirements of Section 408 of the Code.

 

The term “plan” includes plans subject to Title I of ERISA, other employee benefit plans and IRAs subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, governmental or church plans that are exempt from ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, but that may be subject to state law requirements, or other employee benefit plans.

 

An investment in our common stock will not, in itself, create a retirement plan; in order to create a retirement plan, an investor must comply with all applicable provisions of the Code.

 

Subject to any restrictions imposed by state law, subsequent additional investments by investors will require a minimum investment of ten shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share for a total purchase price of $100.  These minimum investment amounts for future purchases do not apply to purchases of shares through our distribution reinvestment plan.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE OFFERING

 

Below we have provided some of the more frequently asked questions and answers relating to an offering of this type.  Please see “Prospectus Summary” and the remainder of this prospectus for more detailed information about this offering.  References in this prospectus to “we,” “us” or the “company” refer to Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. and its consolidated wholly owned or majority owned subsidiaries except in each case where the context indicates otherwise.  References in this prospectus to “Inland” refer to some or all of the entities that are part of The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc., which is comprised of a group of independent legal entities, some of which may be affiliates, share some common ownership or have been previously sponsored or managed by our sponsor or its subsidiaries.

 

Q:  What is Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc.?

 

A:  We are an externally managed, Maryland corporation formed in August 2011 to acquire a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate located throughout the United States.  We intend to be taxed as a REIT commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 2012 or our first year of material operations.

 

Q:  In what types of properties will the company invest?

 

A:  We intend to acquire retail properties, office buildings, multi-family properties and industrial/distribution and warehouse facilities.  Within these property types, we will focus primarily on “core” real estate assets.  “Core” real estate assets are those assets that typically satisfy some, but not necessarily all, of the following criteria:

 

·             properties located within major regional markets or accelerating secondary markets;

 

·              properties with above-market occupancy rates, with leases that provide for market rental rates and that have staggered maturity dates; and

 

·              properties that have anchor tenants with strong credit ratings.

 

Core real estate assets also typically provide predictable, steady cash flow and have a lower risk profile than non-core real estate assets.

 

We may purchase existing or newly-constructed properties as well as properties that are under development or construction, including those where development has not yet commenced.  In addition, in all cases, we may acquire or develop properties directly, by purchasing the property, also known as a “fee interest,” or through joint ventures, including joint ventures in which we do not own a controlling interest.

 

Q:  What are the company’s investment objectives?

 

A:  Our investment objectives generally are:

 

·             to preserve and protect our stockholders’ investments;

 

·              to acquire quality commercial real estate assets that generate, over time, sufficient cash flow from operations to fund sustainable and predictable distributions to our stockholders; and

 

·              to realize capital appreciation through the potential sale of our assets or other liquidity events, as described in this prospectus.

 

1


 

Table of Contents

 

We cannot guarantee that we will achieve any of these investment objectives.

 

Q:  What are the most important attributes of the company?

 

A:   In general, we believe that our structure is characterized by important attributes that will benefit our stockholders, such as:

 

·              No Payment to Acquire our Business Manager —The business management agreement gives us the ability to internalize the functions performed by our Business Manager (as defined herein) through an agreed-upon transition of the management services performed by the Business Manager, without having to pay an internalization fee.

 

·              Acquisition Flexibility — Our proposed strategy of acquiring a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate will provide us with flexibility, because we are not limited to investing in a single asset class.  We will have the ability to take advantage of existing market conditions, and target buying opportunities as economic and real estate cycles change.

 

·              Limited Fees — We will not pay:

 

·             debt financing fees;

 

·              oversight fees;

 

·              development fees;

 

·              disposition fees; or

 

·              stock awards under a restricted share plan.

 

Q:   What competitive advantages does the company achieve through its relationship with Inland?

 

A:   We believe our relationship with Inland provides us with various benefits, including:

 

·              Sponsor Track Record — Inland has more than forty years of experience in acquiring and managing real estate assets.  As of June 30, 2012, Inland had completed 437 programs, comprised of eight public funds, 419 private partnerships, nine 1031 exchange programs and one public REIT.  No completed program has paid total distributions less than the total contributed capital to the program.  For these purposes, Inland considers a program to be “completed” at the time that the program no longer owns any assets.

 

·               Experienced Management Team — Inland’s management team has substantial experience in all aspects of acquiring, owning, managing and operating commercial real estate and other real estate assets across diverse types of real estate assets, as well as a broad range of experience in financing real estate assets.  As of June 30, 2012, Inland cumulatively owned properties located in forty-seven states and managed assets with a book value exceeding $20.2 billion.

(sometimes referred to herein as “Inland American”) and Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. (sometimes referred to herein as “Inland Diversified”), own or are acquiring portfolios that contain core real estate assets.  For example, as of June 30, 2012, Inland American owned, directly or indirectly through joint ventures in which it has a controlling interest, 938 properties, representing approximately 48.1 million square feet of retail, industrial and office properties, 9,563 multi-family (including student housing) units and 17,899 lodging rooms.  As of the same date, Inland Diversified, which was formed in 2009, owned, directly or indirectly, eighty-four properties, representing approximately 7.2 million square feet of retail and office properties and 420 multi-family units.  Our management, including Ms. McGuinness, Ms. Matlin, Mr. Lichterman, Ms. Hrtanek, Mr. Sajdak and Ms. McNeeley, among others, will be able to draw on Inland’s expertise in acquiring and managing a diverse portfolio of properties.

 

·              Seasoned Acquisition Team —Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, Inc., or “IREA,” and other affiliates of IREIC will assist us in identifying potential acquisition opportunities, negotiating contracts related thereto and acquiring real estate assets on our behalf.   Since January 2005, the individuals performing services for these entities have closed over 1,100 transactions in the aggregate, involving real estate with an aggregate purchase price that exceeds $17 billion.

 

·              Strong Industry Relationships — We believe that Inland’s extensive network of industry relationships with the real estate brokerage, development and investor communities will enable us to successfully execute our strategies. These relationships will augment our ability to identify acquisitions in off-market transactions outside of competitive marketing processes, capitalize on opportunities and capture repeat business and transaction activity. In addition, Inland’s strong relationships with the tenant and leasing brokerage communities will aid in attracting and retaining tenants.

 

·              Centralized Resources — Substantially all of Inland’s skilled personnel, specializing in areas such as real estate management, leasing, marketing, human resources, cash management, risk management, tax and internal audit, are based at Inland’s corporate headquarters located in a suburb of Chicago.

 

See “Conflicts of Interest” for a discussion of certain risks and potential disadvantages of our relationship with Inland.

 

Q:  Why should I consider an investment in real estate?

 

A: Allocating some portion of your investment portfolio to real estate may diversify your portfolio, reduce overall risk in your portfolio and provide a hedge against inflation and the potential to earn attractive returns. For these reasons, institutional investors like pension funds and endowments have increased the amount allocated to real estate.  For example, various surveys report that some of the largest pension plans in the U.S. are targeting a real estate allocation of 10% to 12% of their overall investment portfolios. Individual investors may also benefit by adding a real estate component to their investment portfolios. You and your financial advisor should determine whether investing in real estate would benefit your investment portfolio.

Q:  What is a public, non-listed REIT?

 

A:  In general, a REIT is an entity that:

 

·              combines the capital of many investors to, among other things, acquire or invest in commercial real estate;

 

·              allows individual investors to invest in a real estate portfolio under professional management through the purchase of interests, typically shares;

 

·              must pay distributions to its stockholders equal to at least 90% of its “REIT taxable income,” subject to certain adjustments; and

 

·              is not typically subject to federal corporate income taxes as long as it pays distributions to its stockholders equal to at least 100% of its “REIT taxable income,” thus eliminating the “double taxation” (taxation at both the corporate and stockholder levels) generally applicable to a corporation.

 

A public, non-listed REIT includes all of the REIT factors listed above.  In addition, the shares of a public, non-listed REIT are not listed and traded on a national stock exchange.  A public, non-listed REIT, like a listed REIT, files all financial statements and material updates to the program with the Securities and Exchange Commission, sometimes referred to herein as the “SEC,” and all other applicable regulatory authorities.

 

Q:  How does an investment in shares of your common stock differ from an investment in the shares of a listed REIT?

 

A:   An investment in shares of our common stock generally differs from an investment in listed REITs, in a few respects, as set forth below.

 

·              Shares of listed REITs are priced by the trading market, which is influenced generally by numerous factors.  Our board of directors, rather than the “market,” determined the offering price of our shares in its sole discretion.

 

·              Unlike the offering of a listed REIT, this offering has been registered in every state in which we are offering and selling shares.  As part of the state registration process, known as the “blue sky” registration, we were required to include certain limits in our governing documents.  For example, our charter limits the fees we may pay to our Business Manager and its affiliates, limits the aggregate amount we may borrow and requires our independent directors to approve certain actions.  These limits cannot be changed except by a vote of a majority of our stockholders.  A typical listed REIT does not provide for these restrictions within its charter.

 

·              Listed REITs often focus on selected property types or geographic markets, which would require you to own shares of several listed REITs, with attendant transaction costs and effort, in order to invest in a diversified real property portfolio.  In contrast, we intend to own a diversified portfolio of various real estate assets.

 

Investors should bear in mind that investing in our shares differs from investing in listed REITs in significant ways. An investment in our shares has limited liquidity and our repurchase program may be limited, modified, suspended or terminated. In contrast, an investment in a listed REIT is a liquid

investment, as shares can be sold on an exchange at any time. Investing in our shares also differs from investing directly in real estate, including the expenses related to this offering and other fees and expenses that we may pay.

 

Q:  What are the advantages of a diversified portfolio?

 

A: We believe that a diversified portfolio may potentially offer investors significant benefits for a given level of risk relative to a portfolio concentrated on one property sector or properties located in one geographical area or region. Because we believe that most real estate markets are cyclical in nature, a diversified investment strategy may allow us to more effectively deploy capital into sectors and locations where the underlying investment fundamentals are relatively strong and away from sectors where the fundamentals are relatively weak. Further, we believe that an investment strategy that combines real property investments with other real estate-related investments may offer investors additional diversification benefits. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in creating a diversified portfolio or that such a portfolio will provide greater benefits to stockholders than a portfolio that is more concentrated in any particular individual real estate investment sector, region or area.

 

Q:  Other than real properties, in which types of assets will the company invest?

 

A:  We may invest in common and preferred real estate-related equity securities of both publicly traded and private real estate companies. Real estate-related equity securities are generally unsecured and also may be subordinated to other obligations of the issuer. Our investments in real estate-related equity securities will involve special risks relating to the particular issuer of the equity securities, including the financial condition and business outlook of the issuer.   See “Risk Factors — Risks Associated with Investments in Securities.”

 

We may also make investments in commercial mortgage-backed securities, or “CMBS.” CMBS are securities that evidence interests in, or are secured by, a single commercial mortgage loan or a pool of commercial mortgage loans. We may invest in investment grade and non-investment grade CMBS classes.

 

Q:  Does the company intend to invest in joint ventures?

 

A:  Yes, we may acquire or develop properties through joint ventures, including joint ventures in which we do not own a controlling interest.  We may make these investments to diversify our portfolio in terms of geographic region or property type, to access the capital or expertise of third parties and to enable us to make investments sooner than would be possible otherwise. Additionally, investing through joint ventures may help may help us to diversify our portfolio. In compliance with our conflicts of interest policies, however, we will not invest in any joint ventures with other IREIC-affiliated entities.

 

Q:  How will the company identify investments and make decisions on whether to acquire real estate assets?

 

A:    Our business manager, IREIT Business Manager & Advisor, Inc., referred to herein as our “Business Manager,” will have the authority, subject to the direction and approval of our board of directors, to make all of our investment decisions.

 

We will consider a number of factors in evaluating whether to acquire any particular asset, including: geographic location and property type; creditworthiness of the tenants or potential tenants; condition and use of the assets; historical performance; current and projected cash flow; potential for capital appreciation; potential for economic growth in the area where the assets are located; presence of existing

and potential competition; prospects for liquidity through sale, financing or refinancing of the assets; and tax considerations.

 

Q:    How will you determine whether tenants have the appropriate creditworthiness?

 

A: To the extent available, we intend to use industry credit rating services to determine the creditworthiness of potential tenants and any personal or corporate guarantor. We will review the reports produced by these services together with relevant financial data and other available information about the tenant, such as income statements, balance sheets, net worth, cash flow, business plans and other information our Business Manager may deem relevant, before consummating a lease transaction. In addition, if we are seeking to obtain a guarantee of a lease by the corporate parent of the tenant, our Business Manager will analyze the creditworthiness of the guarantor. In many instances, especially in sale-leaseback situations, where we are acquiring a property and simultaneously leasing it back to the seller under a long-term lease, we also will meet with the seller’s management to discuss the seller’s business plan and strategy.

 

Q:  What are your potential strategies for providing stockholders with a liquidity event?

 

A:  A liquidity event could take many forms.  For example, our board may decide to:

 

·             list our shares, or the shares of one of our subsidiaries, on a national securities exchange;

 

·             sell our assets, including seeking stockholder approval if the action would constitute the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or sell certain subsidiaries or joint venture interests, any of which could result in a distribution to our stockholders of the net proceeds; or

 

·              enter into a merger or other business combination, which results in our stockholders receiving cash or shares of another entity.

 

Presently, our board does not anticipate evaluating a liquidity event until at least 2017.

 

Q:  Have you set a finite date for a liquidity event?

 

A:  No, the timing of any liquidity event will be influenced by many factors, including market conditions at that time.  Our board does not have any current plans for a liquidity event, and we are not required to liquidate.  Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that a liquidity event will occur.

 

Q:  Will the company consider internalizing the services performed by the Business Manager in the future?

 

A:    Yes, we may, in the future, become self-administered by internalizing the functions performed for us by our Business Manager.  There are many ways of doing so.  For example, we could simply terminate the Business Manager and hire all new, outside employees unaffiliated with our Business Manager.  Alternatively, we may take advantage of certain provisions contained in our business management agreement.  These provisions are designed to allow us to transition from an externally managed entity to an internally managed entity, without having to pay an internalization fee, by giving us the ability to hire certain of the persons employed by the Business Manager or its affiliates and performing services for us on behalf of the Business Manager, and by giving us time to transition the services performed by certain affiliates of the Business Manager, sometimes referred to herein as the “service providers,” that currently provide the various services and licenses needed to operate our business.

Table of Contents

 

More specifically, the business management agreement provides that at any time following the one year anniversary of the completion of the “best efforts” portion of this offering, we can begin the process of internalizing the functions performed by our Business Manager by notifying the Business Manager of our intent to internalize (referred to herein as the “internalization notice”).  The decision to pursue the internalization will be made by our board of directors and will require the approval of a majority of our independent directors.  During the period beginning upon the Business Manager’s receipt of the internalization notice and ending on the one-year anniversary thereof (referred to herein as the “transition period”), we will transition the services provided by the Business Manager to us.  For example, during the transition period, the Business Manager will permit us to solicit for hire the “key” employees of the Business Manager and its affiliates, including all of the persons serving as the executive officers of our company or the Business Manager who do not also serve as directors or officers of any other IREIC-sponsored REITs.  During all other times in which the business management agreement is in place, we are restricted from soliciting these persons pursuant to certain non-solicitation provisions set forth in the business management agreement.  In addition, during the transition period, at our request, the Business Manager will assign any or all of the service provider agreements to us.  We will have full discretion to determine which agreements or services that we will continue to obtain directly from these service providers.

 

Q:  Will the company pay to acquire the Business Manager in connection with an internalization?

 

A:    No.  We will not pay any internalization fee to acquire our Business Manager.  Historically, non-traded REITs have acquired their advisors in order to internalize these management functions, by paying significant amounts to the owners of the advisor entity.   Rather than do so, if our board of directors chooses, we will be able to transition the services performed for us by the Business Manager.  We will continue to pay and reimburse the Business Manager in the ordinary course under the terms of the existing business management agreement during the one-year transition period. In addition, we will reimburse expenses incurred by our Business Manager in connection with internalizing the functions, and we may incur costs that are incidental to the transaction, such as the cost of purchasing certain tangible assets, like office equipment or computer hardware, from the Business Manager.  At the conclusion of the transition period, the business management agreement will terminate, and the Business Manager will neither be entitled to receive any additional management or acquisition fees nor be entitled to the reimbursement of any expenses that it would have been entitled to had the agreement not been terminated.  The Business Manager will, however, continue to be entitled to receive the subordinated incentive fee, on a prorated basis based on the duration of the Business Manager’s service to us, and we will be required to reimburse the expenses of the service providers pursuant to any service agreements assigned to us with our approval.

 

Our board could choose to internalize our business management functions by having us hire all new, outside executives and other employees or by entering into an arrangement with a third party, such as a merger, which would result in us having our own management team.  The terms of that transaction, including the amount of any consideration or compensation to be paid by us, would be negotiated by our board of directors, or a committee thereof.  Further, if we seek to internalize the functions performed for us by the Real Estate Managers, the transaction will be separately negotiated by our independent directors, or a committee thereof, and will not be covered by the procedures described above.

Q:  If I buy shares, will I receive distributions and, if so, how often?

 

A:   We intend to pay regular monthly cash distributions to our stockholders. The actual amount and timing of distributions will be determined by our board of directors, in its discretion, based on its analysis of our actual and expected earnings, cash flow, capital expenditures and investments, as well as general financial conditions.  Actual cash available for distribution may vary substantially from estimates made by our board.  As a result, our distribution rate and payment frequency may vary from time to time. Further, in order to remain qualified as a REIT, we must make distributions equal to at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income,” subject to certain adjustments, each year.  We anticipate that we will begin declaring distributions no later than sixty days after we have sold enough shares to satisfy the minimum offering condition.

 

Q:  Will distributions I receive be taxable?

 

A:   Yes, for tax purposes, any distributions that you receive generally will be considered ordinary income to the extent that the distributions are paid out of our current and accumulated earnings and profits (excluding distributions of amounts either subject to corporate-level taxation or designated as a capital gain dividend). However, because certain deductible items, such as depreciation expense, for example, reduce taxable income but do not reduce cash available for distribution, we expect a portion of your distributions might exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits and be considered a return of capital for tax purposes up to the amount of your tax basis in your shares (and any excess over your tax basis in your shares will result in capital gain). The amount of distributions considered a return of capital for tax purposes will not be subject to tax immediately but will instead reduce the tax basis of your investment, generally deferring any tax on that portion of the distribution until you sell your shares or we liquidate. Because each investor’s tax implications are different, you are encouraged to consult with your tax advisor.  The Form 1099 described below will report to you, each year, the portion of your distribution that is considered ordinary income and the portion that is considered a return of capital for tax purposes.

 

Q:  What is the impact of being an “emerging growth company”?

 

A:   We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the “JOBS Act.”  As an emerging growth company, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and disclosure requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies.  For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

 

·              have an auditor attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

·              submit certain executive compensation matters to stockholder advisory votes pursuant to the “say on frequency” and “say on pay” provisions (requiring a non-binding stockholder vote to approve compensation of certain executive officers) and the “say on golden parachute” provisions (requiring a non-binding stockholder vote to approve golden parachute arrangements for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other business combinations) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010; and

 

·              disclose certain executive compensation related items, such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

Table of Contents

 

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company may take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies.  This means that an emerging growth company can delay adopting certain accounting standards until such standards are otherwise applicable to private companies.  We have elected to opt out of this transition period, and will therefore comply with new or revised accounting standards on the applicable dates on which the adoption of these standards is required for non-emerging growth companies.  This election is irrevocable.

 

We do not believe that being an emerging growth company will have a significant impact on our business or this offering.  As stated above, we have elected to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards available to emerging growth companies. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to take advantage of the other benefits of the JOBS Act.  So long as we are externally managed by our Business Manager and we do not directly compensate our executive officers, or reimburse our Business Manager or its affiliates for the salaries and benefits of persons who also serve as one of our executive officers or as an executive officer of our Business Manager or its affiliates, we do not expect to include disclosures relating to executive compensation in our periodic reports or proxy statements and, as a result, do not expect to be required to seek stockholder approval of executive compensation and golden parachute compensation arrangements pursuant to Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act.”

 

We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of: (1) the last date of the fiscal year during which we had total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more; (2) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; or (3) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined under Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.

 

Q:  How do I decide if an investment in the company’s shares is appropriate for me?

 

A:  An investment in our shares may be appropriate as part of your investment portfolio if:

 

·              You satisfy the minimum suitability standards described in this prospectus.

 

·              You seek to receive current income through our payment of regular monthly cash distributions to our stockholders.

 

·              You seek to preserve your capital and obtain the benefits of potential long-term capital appreciation, because we intend to acquire real estate assets that offer appreciation potential while balancing the objective of preserving your capital.

 

·              You seek to diversify your portfolio by allocating a portion of your portfolio to a long-term investment in an entity that invests primarily in commercial real estate.

 

·              You are able to hold your investment in our shares as a long-term investment due to the absence of a liquid market for our shares.

 

Q:  What kind of offering is this?

 

A:   We are offering a minimum of 200,000 shares and a maximum of 150,000,000 shares at a price of $10.00 per share on a “best efforts” basis.  Prior to the time we sell at least 200,000 shares, subscription payments will be placed in an escrow account with our escrow agent, UMB Bank, N.A.  If we are not able to sell at least 200,000 shares by October 18, 2013, which is one year from the original effective date

of this prospectus, we will terminate this offering and all funds in the escrow account, including any interest earned on the funds, will be returned to subscribers within ten business days following the termination date.  Common stock purchased by any of our officers, directors or affiliates, or by our dealer manager or any soliciting dealer, will not count toward satisfying the minimum offering.

 

We also are offering up to 30,000,000 shares at a purchase price of $9.50 per share to stockholders who elect to participate in our distribution reinvestment plan.  We reserve the right to reallocate the shares offered between our “best efforts” offering and the distribution reinvestment plan.

 

If you choose to purchase shares in this offering, you will need to fill out a subscription agreement, forms of which are included in this prospectus as Appendix C-1, and pay for the shares at the time you subscribe. If you decide to purchase shares, our escrow agent will hold your funds in escrow, along with those of other subscribers, until we accept your subscription. Generally, we accept or reject subscriptions within ten days of receipt.

 

Q:  What is the significance of the “blind pool” offering?

 

A:   Traditionally, public real estate programs acquire interests in various real estate assets. The assets in which these public programs intend to invest are not always known prior to commencing the offering.  A real estate program is commonly referred to as a “blind pool” program when a significant number of the assets that the real estate program intends to acquire are not yet identified. During this blind pool offering, we will identify acquisition opportunities during and possibly after our public offering has closed. Pending investment in real estate assets, we expect to invest the net offering proceeds in short-term government securities or other liquid instruments.

 

We believe that the blind pool offering format offers us a greater degree of flexibility than a specified asset program because we are more likely to have funds available before identifying specific assets for acquisition. Otherwise, IREIC would need to begin the SEC registration process only after identifying the assets we may acquire. Under this scenario, we believe we would operate at a significant competitive disadvantage as compared to entities that may have currently available sources of financing. In addition, because we do not own, and have not owned, any real estate assets, you do not need to be concerned about possible “legacy issues” related to assets acquired before the commencement of this offering.

 

Because we have not yet identified the assets we may acquire, however, investors will not be able to fully assess how we will use the net proceeds of this offering. Therefore, we provide you with “prior performance” or a “track record” of information of other programs sponsored by IREIC. Please note however, that the prior performance of IREIC’s other programs does not indicate, and should not be relied upon as to, how we may perform in the future.

 

Q:  How long will the offering last?

 

A:   This offering will end no later than October 18, 2014, unless extended.  Our board may terminate this offering at any time and may extend the “best efforts” offering for an additional year.  If we extend the offering for another year and file another registration statement during the one-year extension in order to sell additional shares, we could continue to sell shares in this offering until the earlier of 180 days after the third anniversary of commencing this offering or the effective date of the subsequent registration statement.  If we decide to extend the “best efforts” offering beyond two years from the date of this prospectus, we will provide that information in a prospectus supplement.  If we file a subsequent registration statement, we could continue offering shares with the same or different terms and conditions.  Nothing in our organizational documents prohibits us from engaging in additional subsequent public offerings of our stock.

The offering must be registered in every state in which we offer or sell shares. Generally, these registrations are for a period of one year.  Thus, we may have to stop offering and selling in any state in which the registration is not renewed annually.

 

Q:  Will I receive a stock certificate?

 

A:   No, unless expressly authorized by our board of directors. In this offering, we anticipate that all common stock will be issued only in book entry form. The use of book entry registration protects against loss, theft or destruction of stock certificates and reduces our offering costs.

 

Q:  Will fractional shares be issued?

 

A:   Yes, we may issue fractional shares of common stock in this offering.

 

Q:  Is there any minimum required investment?

 

A:   Yes. Individuals must initially invest at least $3,000 and tax-exempt entities must initially invest at least $1,000. The minimum amount of any subsequent investments, other than investments through our distribution reinvestment plan, is $100.

 

Q:  Can I change my mind after I subscribe for shares, and withdraw my money?

 

A:  Prior to the time we sell at least 200,000 shares, you may rescind your subscription.  If you choose to rescind your subscription, all subscription payments held in escrow for your benefit will be returned to you by the escrow agent within ten business days of being notified by us of your election to rescind.  You generally will not be able to rescind your subscription after we sell at least 200,000 shares.

 

Q:  Will I be notified of how my investment is doing?

 

A:  Yes, we will provide you with periodic updates on the performance of your investment, including:

 

·      regular correspondence to stockholders;

 

·      supplements to this prospectus, during the course of the “best efforts” offering;

 

·      an annual report; and

 

·      three quarterly financial reports.

 

We will provide this information to you via one or more of the following methods, in our discretion and with your consent, if necessary: U.S. mail or other courier; facsimile; electronic delivery; or posting on our web site at www.inlandincometrust.com.

 

We expect to provide a per share estimated value of our shares that is not based on the gross offering price of a share in this “best efforts” offering beginning with the filing of our second regular quarterly or, if applicable, annual report (e.g., our reports on Form 10-Q or 10-K) following the termination of this initial “best efforts” public offering of our common stock, and annually thereafter.  This “best efforts” offering will end no later than October 18, 2014, unless extended for an additional year.  Until that time, we will use the gross offering price of a share in this “best efforts” offering as the per share estimated value thereof.

Two other IREIC-sponsored REITs, Inland American and Retail Properties of America, Inc. (formerly, Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc.), which we refer to herein as “RPAI,” reported the per share estimated value of their shares subsequent to terminating their “best efforts” offerings of common stock.  Inland American announced its most recent estimated per share value of its common stock, equal to $7.22, on December 29, 2011.  RPAI’s board of directors announced the estimated per share value of its common stock, equal to $6.95, on June 14, 2011, prior to the listing of its Class A Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange, or “NYSE.” RPAI subsequently effectuated a ten-to-one reverse stock split of its existing common stock.  On October 10, 2012, the closing price of the RPAI Class A Common Stock on the NYSE was equivalent to $4.73 per share giving effect to the reverse stock split completed by RPAI, or $11.82 per share after the split.  See “Prior Performance of IREIC Affiliates — Publicly Registered REITs” for more information about Inland American and RPAI.

 

Q:  How will the company estimate the per share value of its common stock in the future?

 

A:  To determine the per share estimated value of our shares, we will engage an independent valuation expert to value our real estate assets and related liabilities.  Our board of directors will periodically receive and review information about the valuation of our assets and liabilities as it deems necessary.  The conclusions reached by our independent valuation expert will be based on a number of judgments, assumptions and opinions about future events that may or may not prove to be correct, as well as a number of caveats and conditions.  Further, neither the gross offering price nor any future estimated value is likely to reflect the proceeds you would receive upon our liquidation or upon the sale of your shares.

 

Q:  When will I get my tax information?

 

A:   We expect to mail a Form 1099 with your tax information by January 31st of each year.

 

Q:  Who can help answer questions?

 

A:   If you have more questions about the offering or if you would like additional copies of this prospectus, you should contact your financial advisor or our dealer manager:

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights the material information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Because this is a summary, it does not contain all information that may be important to you. You should read this entire prospectus and its appendices carefully before you decide to invest in shares of our common stock.

 

Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc.

 

We are a Maryland corporation formed to acquire a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate located throughout the United States.  We intend to acquire retail properties, office buildings, multi-family properties and industrial/distribution and warehouse facilities.  Within these property types, we will focus primarily on “core” real estate assets, which are those assets that typically satisfy some, but not necessarily all, of the following criteria:

 

·              properties located within major regional markets or accelerating secondary markets;

 

·              properties with above-market occupancy rates, with leases that provide for market rental rates and that have staggered maturity dates; and

 

·              properties that have anchor tenants with strong credit ratings.

 

Core real estate assets also typically provide predictable, steady cash flow and have a lower risk profile than non-core real estate assets.

 

We also may purchase single-tenant, net leased properties in each of these four property types.  In all cases, we may purchase existing or newly-constructed properties as well as properties that are under development or construction, including those where development has not commenced.  In addition, in all cases, we may acquire properties directly, by purchasing the property, also known as a “fee interest,” or through joint ventures, including joint ventures in which we do not own a controlling interest.  We also may invest in real estate-related equity securities of both publicly traded and private real estate companies, as well as commercial mortgage-backed securities.

 

We intend to be taxed as a REIT commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 2012 or our first year of material operations.  Our office is located at 2901 Butterfield Road, Oak Brook, Illinois 60523.  Our toll-free telephone number is 800-826-8228 and our website address is www.inlandincometrust.com.

 

Our Management

 

We operate under the direction of our board of directors, the members of which are accountable to us and our stockholders as fiduciaries.  Our board, including a majority of our independent directors, must approve certain actions set forth in our charter.  We have five members on our board of directors, three of whom are independent of IREIC and its affiliates.  These independent directors are responsible for reviewing the performance of our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers, as described below.  All of our directors will be elected annually by our stockholders.

 

We are externally managed and advised by our Business Manager, a wholly owned subsidiary of IREIC.  Various other affiliates of IREIC will be involved in our operations, and we will rely upon the executive officers of our Business Manager and the executive officers and employees of other IREIC-affiliated entities to manage our day-to-day affairs and to identify and acquire property and make other

investments on our behalf.  Inland National Real Estate Services, LLC and Inland National Real Estate Services II, LLC, which we together refer to herein as our “Real Estate Managers,” will manage our properties and IREA, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of The Inland Group, Inc., will assist us in identifying potential acquisition opportunities, negotiating contracts related thereto and acquiring real estate assets on our behalf.

 

Terms of the Offering

 

We are offering a maximum of 150,000,000 shares at a price of $10.00 per share on a “best efforts” basis. A “best efforts” offering is one in which the securities dealers participating in the offering are only required to use their good faith efforts and reasonable diligence to sell the shares, and have no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of the shares. No specified number of securities is, therefore, guaranteed to be sold and no specified amount of money is guaranteed to be raised in this offering.  The offering price of our shares was determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion.  In determining the offering price, the board specifically considered the offering price of other REITs organized by IREIC, the range of offering prices of other REITs that do not have a public trading market and the recommendation of our dealer manager.  The offering price is not based on the book value or net asset value of our current or expected investments, or our current or expected cash flow. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Offering” for additional discussion regarding a “best efforts” offering and the offering price of our shares.

 

We also are offering up to 30,000,000 shares to be sold to stockholders who participate in our distribution reinvestment plan.  You may participate in the plan by reinvesting distributions in additional shares of our common stock at a purchase price per share initially equal to $9.50. Distributions may be fully reinvested. If you participate, you will be taxed on income attributable to the reinvested distributions based on the fair market value of shares of our common stock received in lieu of a cash distribution.  Thus, you would have to rely solely on sources other than distributions from us to pay taxes on the distributions. As a result, you may have a tax liability without receiving cash distributions to pay the tax liability. Our board may amend, suspend or terminate the plan, including increasing or decreasing the per share purchase price, in its sole discretion, upon ten days prior written notice to participants.

 

We reserve the right to reallocate the shares offered between our “best efforts” offering and the distribution reinvestment plan.

 

REIT Status

 

Once we qualify as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders.  Under the Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that they distribute at least 90% of their “REIT taxable income,” subject to certain adjustments.  If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any year, without the benefit of certain relief provisions, our income for that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four years following the year of our failure to qualify as a REIT.  Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may still be subject to state and local taxes on our income, property or net worth and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.  For additional discussion regarding REITs and REIT qualification, see “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences.”

Summary Risk Factors

 

An investment in our shares involves significant risks. If we are unable to effectively manage these risks, we may not meet our investment objectives and you may lose some or all of your investment.

 

See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 34.  The following is a summary of the material risks that we believe are most relevant to an investment in shares of our common stock, and should be read together with “— Summary Conflicts of Interest” set forth below.

 

·              No public market currently exists, and one may never exist, for our shares.  Our board does not have any current plans to list our shares on a national securities exchange or pursue any other liquidity event, and does not anticipate evaluating a liquidity event until at least 2017.  We cannot guarantee that a liquidity event will occur.

 

·              The offering price of our shares is not indicative of the book value or net asset value of our current or expected investments, or our current or expected cash flow.  The offering price may be greater than the per share “estimated value” that we publish in the future, or the proceeds you would receive upon our liquidation or upon the sale of your shares.

 

·              Investors who purchase shares of our common stock in this offering will incur immediate dilution.

 

·              There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve our investment objectives.

 

·              Because this is a “blind pool” offering, you will not have the opportunity to evaluate all investments before we make them.  The number and value of real estate assets we acquire will depend initially on the net proceeds raised in this offering.

 

·              We may pay distributions during a given period in an aggregate amount that exceeds our cash flow from operations for that period, determined in accordance with GAAP.  As used herein, “GAAP” means generally accepted accounting principles as in effect in the United States of America from time to time or any other accounting basis mandated by the SEC.  As a result, we may pay distributions from sources other than cash flows from operations.  Specifically, some or all of our distributions for any period in which our cash flow from operations is not sufficient may be paid from cash flow from operations from prior periods that was not distributed or otherwise used for other purposes, referred to herein as “retained cash flow,” from borrowings, from cash flow from investing activities, including the net proceeds from the sale of our assets, or from the net proceeds of this offering.  We have not limited the amount of monies from any of these sources that may be used to fund distributions. If our cash flow from operations is not sufficient to pay distributions for any particular period, we also may fund distributions from, among other things, cash that we receive in the form of advances or contributions from our Business Manager or IREIC or from the cash retained by us in the case that our Business Manager defers, accrues or waives all, or a portion, of its business management fee or its right to be reimbursed for certain expenses.  A deferral, accrual or waiver of any fee owed to our Business Manager will have the effect of increasing cash flow from operations for the relevant period because we do not have to use cash to pay any fee or reimbursement which was deferred, accrued or waived during the relevant period.  Any fee or reimbursement that was deferred or accrued, or any amounts advanced, that we later pay or reimburse, will have the effect of reducing cash flow from operations for the applicable period in which we pay or reimburse these amounts.  We will not, however, be required to pay interest on any fee or reimbursement that was previously deferred or accrued.  Neither our Business Manager nor IREIC has any obligation to provide us with advances or contributions, and our Business Manager is not obligated to defer, accrue or waive any portion of its business management fee or reimbursements.  Further, there is no assurance that these other sources will be available to fund distributions.

·             We are subject to the risks associated with the significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions that occur in the global credit markets.

 

·              Our share repurchase program is subject to numerous restrictions, may be amended, suspended or terminated by our board of directors at any time and should not be relied upon as a means of liquidity.

 

·              We do not have any employees and will rely entirely on our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers to manage our business and assets.

 

·              We may borrow up to 300% of our net assets, equivalent to 75% of the cost of our assets, and principal and interest payments on our borrowings will reduce the funds available for other purposes, including distribution to our stockholders.

 

·             Our charter limits any person from owning more than 9.8% in value of our outstanding stock or more than 9.8% in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding common stock without the prior approval of our board of directors.

 

·              We may fail to qualify as a REIT, and thus be required to pay entity-level taxes.

 

Summary Conflicts of Interest

 

During the ten year period ended June 30, 2012, IREIC sponsored three other REITs, RPAI, Inland American and Inland Diversified, and IREIC and Inland Private Capital Corporation (formerly, Inland Real Estate Exchange Corporation), or “IPCC,” sponsored, in the aggregate, 110 real estate exchange private placement limited partnerships and limited liability companies.  Two of the REITs, Inland American and Inland Diversified, are presently managed by affiliates of our Business Manager.  RPAI and a fourth IREIC-sponsored REIT, Inland Real Estate Corporation (“IRC”), which was organized prior to the ten year period ended June 30, 2012, are self-managed and neither IREIC nor its affiliates have responsibility for the day-to-day operations. IREIC and its affiliates own significant investments in RPAI and IRC, primarily through shares acquired in the respective internalizations by these entities.

 

The following is a summary of other conflicts of interest that we believe are most relevant to an investment in shares of our common stock.

 

·              Certain persons performing services for our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers are employees of IREIC or its affiliates, and may also perform services for its affiliates and other programs sponsored by IREIC. These individuals will face competing demands for their time and services and may have conflicts in allocating their time between our business and assets and the business and assets of these other entities. IREIC also may face a conflict of interest in allocating personnel and resources among these entities.

 

·              We do not have arm’s length agreements with our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers or any other affiliates of IREIC, and will pay these entities significant fees.  In some cases, these fees will be based on the aggregate book value, including acquired intangibles, of our invested assets and the contract purchase price of our assets. This may result in our Business Manager recommending investments, or other actions, in an effort to increase these fees.  For example, our compensation arrangements may provide an incentive for our Business Manager to, among other things, borrow more money than prudent to increase the amount we can invest or retain instead of sell assets, even if our stockholders may be better served by sale or other disposition of the asset.  Further, the

 

16


 

Table of Contents

 

fact that we will pay the Business Manager an acquisition fee based on the contract purchase price of an asset may cause our Business Manager to negotiate a higher price for an asset than we otherwise would, or to purchase assets that may not otherwise be in our best interests.

 

·              There is no assurance that we will be able to retain key personnel if we internalize our management functions.

 

·              We will rely, in part, on IREA and other affiliates of IREIC to identify suitable investment opportunities for us.  Other public or private programs sponsored by IREIC or IPCC, including IRC, Inland American and Inland Diversified, also rely on these entities to identify potential investments.  These entities have, in some cases, rights of first refusal or other pre-emptive rights to the properties that IREA identifies.  Our right to acquire properties identified by IREA will be subject to the exercise of any prior rights vested in these entities.  We may not, therefore, be presented with opportunities to acquire properties that we otherwise would be interested in acquiring.  See “— Allocation of Investment Opportunities” below for additional discussion regarding the rights vested in other IREIC-sponsored entities.

 

·              Certain IREIC- or IPCC-sponsored programs own and manage the type of properties that we intend to own, including in the same geographical areas. Therefore, our properties may compete for tenants with other properties owned and managed by other IREIC- or IPCC-sponsored programs.  Persons performing services for our Real Estate Managers may face conflicts of interest when evaluating tenant leasing opportunities for our properties and other properties owned and managed by IREIC- or IPCC-sponsored programs, and these conflicts of interest may have an adverse impact on our ability to attract and retain tenants.  In addition, a conflict could arise in connection with the resale of properties in the event that we and another IREIC- or IPCC-sponsored program were to attempt to sell similar properties at the same time.

 

·              Inland Securities, our dealer manager, is an affiliate of IREIC.  You will not have the benefit of an independent dealer manager reviewing this offering.

 

Policies and Procedures with Respect to Related Party Transactions

 

We have adopted a conflicts of interest policy, which prohibits us from engaging in the following types of transactions with IREIC-affiliated entities:

 

·              purchasing properties from, or selling properties to, any IREIC-affiliated entities (excluding circumstances where an entity affiliated with IREIC, such as IREA, enters into a purchase agreement to acquire a property and then assigns the purchase agreement to us);

 

·              making loans to, or borrowing money from, any IREIC-affiliated entities (excluding expense advancements under existing agreements and the deposit of monies in any banking institution affiliated with IREIC); and

 

·               investing in joint ventures with any IREIC-affiliated entities.

 

This policy will not impact agreements or relationships between us and IREIC and its affiliates, including, for example, agreements with our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and Inland Securities.

Dedicated Acquisitions Capability

 

In addition to opportunities made available to us by IREA, our Business Manager will employ a person or persons exclusively focused on identifying and acquiring real estate assets for us.  Any opportunities identified by our Business Manager will be presented only to us, and will not be subject to rights of first refusal previously granted to other programs sponsored by IREIC or its affiliates.

 

Allocation of Investment Opportunities

 

In addition to our dedicated acquisitions staff, we will rely, in part, on IREA and other affiliates of IREIC to identify suitable investment opportunities for us.  The process by which investment opportunities will be allocated among us and other public or private programs sponsored by IREIC or IPCC is based on contractual rights of first refusal held by certain of these other programs.  More specifically, each investment opportunity identified by IREA will be allocated first to the IREIC-sponsored program that has a right of first refusal to acquire the subject type of property; if that program passes on the opportunity, the opportunity will be allocated to the IREIC-sponsored program with the subsequent right of first refusal, and so forth.  For example, IREA has granted IRC a right of first refusal to acquire shopping centers and single-user retail properties located within a 400 mile radius of Inland’s headquarters, that IREA identifies, acquires or obtains the right to acquire.  IREA has granted Inland American a right of first refusal to acquire all other properties and any REITs or real estate operating companies that IREA identifies, acquires or obtains the right to acquire, as well as the right to acquire any properties that IRC decides not pursue, and has granted Inland Diversified a right of first refusal to acquire all real estate assets, other than real estate operating companies, that Inland American decides not pursue.  IREA will present an investment opportunity to us only if, and after, each of these other entities, as appropriate, has passed on the opportunity.  Our right to acquire properties identified by IREA therefore will be subject to the exercise of any prior rights vested in these other entities.

Organizational Structure

 

The following chart depicts the services that affiliates of IREIC may render to us, and our organizational structure:

 

 

On August 24, 2011, we acquired 1,000 shares of common stock, for $1,000, in The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc., a marketing entity whose primary function is to promote the business interests of its individual stockholder members, including other programs previously sponsored by IREIC. The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies coordinates, among other things, marketing to prospective tenants as well as identifying and monitoring legislation that may impact us and our stockholders.

Compensation Payable To Affiliates of IREIC

 

We will pay fees to affiliates of IREIC, including Inland Securities, our Business Manager and our Real Estate Managers and their respective affiliates. We also will reimburse these entities for expenses incurred in performing services on our behalf.

 

Set forth below is a summary of the fees and expenses that we expect to pay to these entities. For purposes of illustrating offering stage fees and expenses, we have assumed that we will sell the maximum of 150,000,000 shares in the “best efforts” portion of this offering at $10.00 per share.  We will not pay selling commissions, the marketing contribution or issuer costs in connection with shares of common stock issued through our distribution reinvestment plan.  The fees and expenses that we expect to pay (except offering stage expenses) will be reviewed by our independent directors at least annually.  For additional discussion regarding these fees and expenses, see “Compensation Table” beginning on page 67.

We will pay our Business Manager or its affiliates a fee equal to 1.5% of the “contract purchase price” of each real estate asset (excluding marketable securities) we acquire, including any incremental interest therein, including by way of exchanging a debt interest for an equity interest (excluding the contribution of an asset owned, directly or indirectly, by us to a joint venture) or developing, constructing, renovating, or otherwise physically improving an asset, including but not limited to major tenant upgrades, whether pursuant to allowances, concessions or rent abatements provided for at the time the asset is acquired. In the case of an asset acquired through a joint venture, the acquisition fee payable will be proportionate to our ownership interest in the venture.

 

For the purpose of calculating acquisition fees, the “contract purchase price” will be equal to the amount of monies or other consideration paid or contributed by us either to acquire, directly or indirectly, any real estate asset or an incremental interest in the real estate asset, and including, without duplication, any indebtedness for money borrowed to finance the purchase, indebtedness secured by the real estate asset, which is assumed, or indebtedness that is refinanced or restructured, all in connection with the acquisition, and which is or will be secured by the real estate asset at the time of the acquisition or to develop, construct,

If the business management agreement is terminated, including in connection with the internalization of the functions performed by our Business Manager, the obligation to pay this fee will terminate.

   
         
Acquisition Expenses — our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and their Affiliates   We will reimburse our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and entities affiliated with each of them, including IREA and its respective affiliates, as well as third parties, for any investment-related expenses they pay in connection with selecting, evaluating or acquiring any investment in real estate assets, regardless of whether we acquire a particular real estate asset, subject to the limits in our charter.  Examples of reimbursable expenses include but are not limited to legal fees and expenses, travel and communications expenses, costs of appraisals, accounting fees and expenses, third-party broker or finder’s fees, title insurance expenses, survey expenses, property inspection expenses and other closing costs.  We will not reimburse acquisition expenses in connection with an investment in marketable securities, except that we may reimburse expenses incurred on our behalf and payable to a third party, such as third-party brokerage commissions.

“Average invested assets” means, for any period, the average of the aggregate book value of our assets, including all intangibles and goodwill, invested, directly or indirectly, in equity interests in, and loans secured by, properties, as well as amounts invested in securities and consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures or other partnerships, before reserves for amortization and depreciation or bad debts, impairments or other similar non-cash reserves, computed by taking the average of these values at the end of each month during the relevant calendar quarter.

Real Estate Management Fees, Leasing Fees and Construction Management Fees — our Real Estate Managers  

For each property that is managed directly by our Real Estate Managers or their affiliates, we will pay the applicable Real Estate Manager a monthly management fee of up to 1.9% of the gross income from any single-tenant, net-leased property, and up to 3.9% of the gross income from any other type of property.  Each Real Estate Manager will determine, in its sole discretion, the amount of the management fee payable in connection with a particular property, subject to these limits.  For each property that is managed directly by one of our Real Estate Managers or its affiliates, we will pay the Real Estate Manager a separate leasing fee based upon prevailing market rates applicable to the geographic market of that property.  If we engage our Real Estate Managers to provide construction management services for a property, we also will pay a separate construction management fee in an amount that is usual and customary for comparable services rendered to similar projects in the geographic market of the project.

 

We also will reimburse the Real Estate Managers and their affiliates for property-level expenses that they pay or incur on our behalf, including the salaries, bonuses and benefits of persons

  The actual amount depends on the gross income, as defined in our management agreements, generated and cannot be determined at the present time.

Real Estate Sales Commission — our Business Manager  

For substantial assistance in connection with the sale of properties, we will pay our Business Manager or its affiliates a real estate sales commission equal to up to one-half of the customary commission which would be paid to a third party broker for the sale of a comparable property, provided that the amount may not exceed 1% of the contract price of the property sold and, when added to all other real estate commissions paid to unaffiliated parties in connection with a sale, may not exceed the lesser of a competitive real estate commission or 3% of the sales price of the property.

 

If the business management agreement is terminated, including in connection with the internalization of the functions performed by our Business Manager, the obligation to pay these commissions will terminate.

  The actual amounts to be paid will depend upon the contract sales price of our properties and the customary commissions paid to third party brokers and, therefore, cannot be determined at the present time.
         
Subordinated Incentive Fee — our Business Manager  

Upon a “triggering event,” we will pay our Business Manager a fee equal to 10% of the amount by which (1) the “liquidity amount” (as defined below) exceeds (2) the “aggregate invested capital,” less any distributions of net sales or financing proceeds, plus the total distributions required to be paid to our stockholders in order to pay them a 7% per annum cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded return on the aggregate invested capital, all measured as of the triggering event.  If we have not satisfied this return threshold at the time of the applicable triggering event, the fee will be paid at the time that we have satisfied the return requirements.

 

As used herein, a “triggering event” means any sale of assets (excluding the sale of marketable securities), in which the net sales proceeds are specifically identified and distributed to our stockholders, or any liquidity event, such as a listing or any merger, reorganization, business combination, share exchange or acquisition, in which our stockholders receive cash or the

securities of another issuer that are listed on a national securities exchange.  “Aggregate invested capital” means the aggregate original issue price paid for the shares of our common stock, before reduction for organization and offering expenses, reduced by any distribution of sale or financing proceeds.

 

For purposes of this subordinated incentive fee, the “liquidity amount” will be calculated as follows:

 

·      In the case of the sale of our assets, the net sales proceeds realized by us from the sale of assets since inception and distributed to stockholders, in the aggregate, plus the total amount of any other distributions paid by us from inception until the date that the liquidity amount is determined.

 

·      In the case of a listing or any merger, reorganization, business combination, share exchange, acquisition or other similar transaction in which our stockholders receive cash or the securities of another issuer that are listed on a national securities exchange, as full or partial consideration for their shares, the “market value” of the shares, plus the total distributions paid by us from inception until the date that the liquidity amount is determined.  “Market value” means the value determined as follows: (1) in the case of the listing of our shares, or the common stock of our subsidiary, on a national securities exchange, by taking the average closing price over the period of thirty consecutive trading days during which our shares, or the shares of the common stock of our subsidiary, as applicable, are eligible for trading, beginning on the 180th day after the applicable listing, multiplied by the number of our shares, or the shares of the common stock of our subsidiary, as applicable, outstanding on the date of

measurement; or (2) in the case of the receipt by our stockholders of securities of another entity that are trading on a national securities exchange prior to, or that become listed concurrent with, the consummation of the liquidity event, as follows: (a) in the case of shares trading before consummation of the liquidity event, the value ascribed to the shares in the transaction giving rise to the liquidity event, multiplied by the number of those securities issued to our stockholders in respect of the transaction; and (b) in the case of shares which become listed concurrent with the closing of the transaction giving rise to the liquidity event, the average closing price over the period of thirty consecutive trading days during which the shares are eligible for trading, beginning on the 180th day after the applicable listing, multiplied by the number of those securities issued to our stockholders in respect of the transaction.  In addition, any distribution of cash consideration received by our stockholders in connection with any liquidity event will be added to the market value determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2).

 

If the business management agreement is terminated pursuant to an internalization in accordance with the transition process set forth in that agreement, the Business Manager, or its successor or designee, will continue to be entitled to receive the subordinated incentive fee, on a prorated basis based on the duration of the Business Manager’s service to us.  Specifically, in this case, the Business Manager, or its successor or designee, will be entitled to a fee equal to the product of: (1) the amount of the fee to which the Business Manager otherwise would have been entitled had the agreement not been terminated; and (2) the quotient of the number of days elapsed from the effective date of the agreement through the closing of the internalization, and the number of days elapsed from the effective date of the agreement through the date of the closing of the applicable triggering event.

We May Borrow Money

 

We may fund a portion of the purchase price of any asset that we acquire with monies borrowed on an interim or permanent basis from banks, institutional investors and other third party lenders. Any money that we borrow may be secured by a mortgage or other security interest in some, or all, of our assets. The interest we will pay on our loans may be fixed or variable. We also may establish a revolving line of credit for short-term cash management and bridge financing purposes. Further, we may agree to limit the time during which we may prepay any loan in order to reduce the interest rate on the loan.

 

We expect that our aggregate borrowings, secured by all of our assets, will average approximately 55% of the total fair market value of our assets.  For these purposes, the fair market value of each asset will be equal to the greater of the purchase price paid for the asset or the value reported in a more recent appraisal of the asset.  This policy, however, will not apply to individual assets and only will apply once we have ceased raising capital under this or any subsequent offering and invested substantially all of our capital. As a result, we expect to borrow more than 55% of the contract purchase price of each real estate asset we acquire to the extent our board of directors determines that borrowing these amounts is prudent.

 

Our charter limits the aggregate amount we may borrow, whether secured or unsecured, to an amount not to exceed 300% of our net assets, equivalent to 75% of the cost of our assets, unless our board (including a majority of the independent directors) determines that a higher level is appropriate and the excess in borrowing is disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report along with the justification for the excess.  Loan agreements with our lenders may impose additional restrictions on the amount we may borrow and may impose limits on, among other things, our ability to pay distributions. We do not intend to exceed the leverage limits in our charter except that we may do so from time to time during this or any future offering (excluding offerings solely through a distribution reinvestment plan).

 

Distribution Policy

 

We intend to pay regular monthly cash distributions to our stockholders.  We anticipate that we will begin declaring distributions no later than sixty days after we have sold enough shares to satisfy the minimum offering condition. We may pay distributions during a given period in an aggregate amount that exceeds our cash flow from operations for that period, determined in accordance with GAAP.  As a result, we may pay distributions from sources other than cash flows from operations.  Specifically, some or all of our distributions for any period in which our cash flow from operations is not sufficient may be paid from retained cash flow, from borrowings, from cash flow from investing activities, including the net proceeds from the sale of our assets, or from the net proceeds of this offering.  We have not limited the amount of monies from any of these sources that may be used to fund distributions.

 

If our cash flow from operations is not sufficient to pay distributions for any particular period, we also may fund distributions from, among other things, cash that we receive in the form of advances or contributions from our Business Manager or IREIC or from the cash retained by us in the case that our Business Manager defers, accrues or waives all, or a portion, of its business management fee or its right to be reimbursed for certain expenses.   A deferral, accrual or waiver of any fee owed to our Business Manager will have the effect of increasing cash flow from operations for the relevant period because we

 

28


 

Table of Contents

 

do not have to use cash to pay any fee or reimbursement which was deferred, accrued or waived during the relevant period.  Any fee or reimbursement that was deferred or accrued, or any amounts advanced, that we later pay or reimburse, will have the effect of reducing cash flow from operations for the applicable period in which we pay or reimburse these amounts.  We will not, however, be required to pay interest on any fee or reimbursement that was previously deferred or accrued.  Neither our Business Manager nor IREIC has any obligation to provide us with advances or contributions, and our Business Manager is not obligated to defer, accrue or waive any portion of its business management fee or reimbursements.  Further, there is no assurance that these other sources will be available to fund distributions.    See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business.”

 

Stockholder Voting Rights and Limitations

 

We will elect directors or conduct other business matters that may be properly presented at our annual meetings of stockholders. We also may call special meetings of stockholders from time to time. The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted on by stockholders, including electing our directors.

 

Restriction on Share Ownership

 

Our charter contains restrictions on the number of shares any one person or group may own. Specifically, no person or group may own or control more than 9.8% in value of our outstanding stock or more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding common stock.  This limit may be further reduced if our board of directors waives this limit for certain holders.  See “Management — The Business Management Agreement — Compensation.”  These restrictions are designed, among other purposes, to enable us to comply with ownership restrictions imposed on REITs by the Code, and may have the effect of preventing a third party from engaging in a business combination or other transaction even if doing so would result in you receiving a “premium” for your shares. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure” for additional discussion regarding restrictions on share ownership.

 

Share Repurchase Program

 

Our shares are not listed for trading on any national securities exchange and our board does not anticipate evaluating a liquidity event, including a listing on a national securities exchange, until at least 2017.  There is no assurance the board will decide to seek a listing or other liquidity event at that time, if ever.  A public market may never develop. You may not be able to sell your shares when you desire or at a price equal to or greater than the offering price.  In addition, our charter imposes restrictions on the ownership of our common stock, which will apply to potential purchasers of your stock.  As a result, you may find it difficult to find a buyer for your shares.

 

If you meet the limited qualifications to participate in our share repurchase program, you may be able to sell your shares to us if we choose to repurchase them.  We may repurchase shares through the program, from time to time, at prices ranging from 92.5% of our “share price,” as defined in the program, for stockholders who have owned shares for at least one year to 100% of our “share price” for stockholders who have owned shares for at least four years.  Stockholders who purchased their shares from us or received their shares through a non-cash transfer and who have held their shares for at least one year may request that we repurchase any number of shares by submitting a repurchase request, the form of which is available on our website, to our repurchase agent. We will effect all repurchases on the last business day of the calendar month or any other business day that may be established by our board of directors.  As used in the program, “share price” means: (1) prior to the first valuation date, the offering price of our shares in this “best efforts” offering (unless the shares were purchased at a discount from that price, and then that purchase price), reduced by any

 

29


 

Table of Contents

 

distributions of net sale proceeds that we designate as constituting a return of capital; and (2) after the first valuation date, the lesser of: (A) the share price determined in (1); or (B) the most recently disclosed estimated value per share, as determined by our board, our Business Manager or another firm that we have chosen for that purpose.

 

We are authorized to use only the proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan to fund repurchases.  Further, we will limit the number of shares repurchased during any calendar year to 5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31st of the previous calendar year.

 

The terms of our share repurchase program are more generous with respect to repurchases sought upon a stockholder’s death or qualifying disability.  In these instances, the one-year holding period will be waived, shares will be repurchased at a price equal to 100% of our “share price,” we are authorized to use any funds to complete the repurchase and neither the limit regarding funds available from the distribution reinvestment plan nor the 5% limit will apply.  In order for a determination of disability to entitle a stockholder to these special repurchase terms: (1) the stockholder would have to receive a determination of disability arising after the date the stockholder acquired the shares to be repurchased; and (2) the determination of disability would have to be made by the governmental entities specified in the share repurchase program.  See “Distribution Reinvestment Plan and Share Repurchase Program — Share Repurchase Program” for a more detailed definition of “qualifying disability.”

 

The share repurchase program will immediately terminate if our shares are listed on any national securities exchange.  In addition, our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may at any time amend, suspend (in whole or in part), or terminate our share repurchase program.  Another IREIC-sponsored program, RPAI, suspended its share repurchase program, until further notice, effective November 19, 2008, and terminated the program at the time it listed its Class A Common Stock.  Inland American also suspended its share repurchase program, effective March 30, 2009, but later adopted an amended and restated program, which became effective on April 11, 2011, to repurchase shares upon the death of a beneficial owner, and again amended its program, effective February 1, 2012, for repurchases in connection with a qualifying disability or confinement to a long-term care facility.  In the event that we amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program, we will send stockholders notice of the change at least thirty days prior to the change.  Further, our board reserves the right in its sole discretion to reject any requests for repurchases.

 

ERISA Considerations

 

The section of this prospectus captioned “ERISA Considerations” describes the effect that the purchase of shares will have on individual retirement accounts and retirement plans that are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and the Code. ERISA is a federal law that regulates the operation of certain tax-advantaged retirement plans. Any retirement plan trustee or individual considering purchasing shares for a retirement plan or an individual retirement account should consider, at a minimum: (1) whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the IRA, plan or other account; (2) whether the investment satisfies the fiduciary requirements associated with the IRA, plan or other account; (3) whether the investment will generate unrelated business taxable income, or “UBTI,” to the IRA, plan or other account; (4) whether there is sufficient liquidity for that investment under the IRA, plan or other account; (5) the need to value the assets of the IRA, plan or other account annually or more frequently; and (6) whether the investment would constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under applicable law.

Investment Company Act of 1940

 

We intend to engage primarily in the business of investing in real estate and to conduct our operations so that neither the company nor any of its subsidiaries is required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (referred to herein as the “Investment Company Act”). Under the Investment Company Act, in relevant part, a company is an “investment company” if:  (i) under Section 3(a)(1)(A), it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities; or (ii) under Section 3(a)(1)(C), it is engaged, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns, or proposes to acquire, “investment securities” having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis, which we refer to as the “40% test.”  The term “investment securities” generally includes all securities except government securities and securities of majority-owned subsidiaries that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exemption from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.

 

We intend to acquire real estate and real estate-related assets directly, primarily by acquiring fee interests in real property.  We may also (i) purchase common and preferred real estate-related equity securities of both publicly traded and private companies, including REITs and pass-through entities, that own real property, (ii) purchase commercial mortgage-backed securities, or “CMBS”, or other mortgage-related instruments and (iii) invest in real property indirectly through investments in joint venture entities, including joint venture entities in which we do not own a controlling interest.  We anticipate that our assets generally will be held in wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries of the company, each formed to hold a particular asset.

 

We intend to conduct our operations so that the company and most, if not all, of its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries will comply with the 40% test.  We will continuously monitor our holdings on an ongoing basis to determine compliance with this test.  We expect that most, if not all, of the company’s wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries will not be relying on exemptions under either Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.  Consequently, interests in these subsidiaries (which are expected to constitute a substantial majority of our assets) generally will not constitute “investment securities.”  Accordingly, we believe that the company and most, if not all, of its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries will not be considered investment companies under Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act.

 

In addition, we believe that neither the company nor any of its wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries will be considered an investment company under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act because they will not engage primarily or hold themselves out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities.  Rather, the company and its subsidiaries will be primarily engaged in non-investment company businesses related to real estate. Consequently, the company and its subsidiaries expect to be able to conduct their respective operations such that none of them will be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

 

We will determine whether an entity is a majority-owned subsidiary of our company.  The Investment Company Act defines a majority-owned subsidiary of a person as a company 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of which are owned by such person, or by another company which is a majority-owned subsidiary of such person. The Investment Company Act defines voting securities as any security presently entitling the owner or holder thereof to vote for the election of directors of a company. We treat entities in which we own at least a majority of the outstanding voting securities as majority-owned subsidiaries for purposes of the 40% test.  We have not requested that the SEC or its staff approve

 

31


 

Table of Contents

 

our treatment of any entity as a majority-owned subsidiary, and neither has done so.  If the SEC or its staff was to disagree with our treatment of one or more subsidiary entities as majority-owned subsidiaries, we would need to adjust our strategy and our assets in order to continue to pass the 40% test. Any adjustment in our strategy could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

If the company or any of its wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries would ever inadvertently fall within one of the definitions of “investment company,” we intend to rely on the exemption provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act, which is available for entities “primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate.”  The SEC staff has taken the position that this exemption, in addition to prohibiting the issuance of certain types of securities, generally requires that at least 55% of an entity’s assets must be comprised of mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate, also known as “qualifying assets,” and at least another 25% of the entity’s assets must be comprised of additional qualifying assets or a broader category of assets that we refer to as “real estate-related assets” under the Investment Company Act (and no more than 20% of the entity’s assets may be comprised of miscellaneous assets).  We will measure our 3(c)(5)(C) exemption on an unconsolidated basis.

 

Qualifying for an exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act will limit our ability to make certain investments.  For example, these restrictions may limit the ability of the company and its subsidiaries to invest directly in mortgage-backed securities that represent less than the entire ownership in a pool of mortgage loans, debt and equity tranches of securitizations and certain asset-backed securities, non-controlling equity interests in real estate companies or in assets not related to real estate.

 

To the extent that the SEC or its staff provides more specific guidance regarding any of the matters bearing upon the definition of investment company and the exemptions to that definition, we may be required to adjust our strategy accordingly.  On August 31, 2011 the SEC issued a concept release and request for comments regarding the Section 3(c)(5)(C) exemption (Release No. IC-29778) in which it contemplated the possibility of issuing new rules or providing new interpretations of the exemption that might, among other things, define the phrase “liens on and other interests in real estate” or consider sources of income in determining a company’s “primary business.”  Any additional guidance from the SEC or its staff could provide additional flexibility to us, or it could further inhibit our ability to pursue the strategies we have chosen.  For additional discussion of the risks that we would face if we were required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business.”

Estimated Use of Proceeds

 

The amounts listed in the table below represent our best good faith estimate of the use of offering proceeds.  The estimates may not accurately reflect the actual receipt or application of the offering proceeds.  The first scenario assumes we sell the minimum of 200,000 shares in the “best efforts” portion of the offering at $10.00 per share.  The second scenario assumes we sell the maximum of 150,000,000 shares in the “best efforts” portion of the offering at $10.00 per share.  We have not given effect to any special sales or volume discounts which could reduce selling commissions but not the net offering proceeds we would realize from the sale, under either scenario.  In addition, we will not pay selling commissions, the marketing contribution or issuer costs in connection with shares of common stock issued through our distribution reinvestment plan.

 

    Minimum Offering   Maximum Offering  
    Amount   Percent   Amount   Percent  
Gross Offering Proceeds   $ 2,000,000   100.0 % $ 1,500,000,000   100.0 %
Less Organization and Offering Expenses:                  
Selling Commissions   $ 140,000   7.0 % $ 105,000,000   7.0 %
Marketing Contribution   $ 60,000   3.0 % $ 45,000,000   3.0 %
Issuer Costs   $ 30,000   1.5 % $ 22,500,000   1.5 %
TOTAL EXPENSES:   $ 230,000   11.5 % $ 172,500,000   11.5 %
Net Offering Proceeds   $ 1,770,000   88.5 % $ 1,327,500,000   88.5 %
Less:                  
Acquisition Fees(1)(2)   $ 26,029   1.3 % $ 19,522,059   1.3 %
Acquisition Expenses(2)(3)   $ 8,676   0.4 % $ 6,507,353   0.4 %
NET PROCEEDS AVAILABLE FOR INVESTMENT(4):   $ 1,735,295   86.8 % $ 1,301,470,588   86.8 %

 


(1)   We will pay our Business Manager or its affiliates a fee equal to 1.5% of the contract purchase price of each real estate asset (excluding marketable securities) acquired.  See “Compensation Table” for the definition of “contract purchase price.”  If we sell the maximum amount of shares in our “best efforts” offering, we will pay acquisition fees equal to $43.4 million assuming aggregate borrowings equivalent to 55% of the total fair market value of our assets, consistent with our borrowing policy or $78.1 million assuming aggregate borrowings equivalent to 75% of the cost of our assets, which represents the limit set forth in our charter.

(2)   For purposes of this table, we have assumed that we will fund acquisitions solely from net proceeds from the sale of shares in our “best efforts” offering; however, because the acquisition fees and expenses we will pay or reimburse to our Business Manager are a percentage of the contract purchase price of an investment, the acquisition fees or expenses will be greater than that shown to the extent we also fund acquisitions through the incurrence of debt at a rate greater than reflected, retained cash flow from operations, proceeds from the sale of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan or net proceeds from the sale of real estate assets.

(3)   We expect that acquisition expenses will be equal to approximately 0.5% of the contract purchase price of each real estate asset (excluding marketable securities) acquired.  This amount was estimated by us, for illustrative purposes, based on the prior experience of IREIC, our sponsor, in connection with five other REITs it has sponsored.  The actual amount of acquisition expenses cannot be determined at the present time and will depend on numerous factors including the aggregate purchase price paid to acquire each real estate asset, the aggregate amount borrowed, if any, to acquire each real estate asset and the number of real estate assets acquired.  If we sell the maximum amount of shares in our “best efforts” offering, we will reimburse acquisition expenses equal to $14.5 million assuming aggregate borrowings equivalent to 55% of the total fair market value of our assets, consistent with our borrowing policy, or $26.0 million assuming aggregate borrowings equivalent to 75% of the cost of our assets, which represents the limit set forth in our charter.

(4)   We may use the net proceeds of this offering to fund some or all of our distributions for any period in which our cash flow from operations is not sufficient.  We have not limited the amount of these proceeds that may be used to fund distributions.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our shares involves significant risks and is suitable only for those persons who understand the following risks and who are able to bear the risk of losing their entire investment. The occurrence of any of the risks discussed in this prospectus, particularly those described under the subheadings “ — Risks Related to the Offering,” “— Risks Related to Our Business,” “— Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate” “— Risks Associated with Investments in Securities,”  “— Risks Associated with Debt Financing,” “— Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure,” and “— Federal Income Tax Risks,” could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to you.  You should consider the following risks in addition to other information set forth elsewhere in this prospectus before making your investment decision.

 

Risks Related to the Offering

 

We have no operating history, and the prior performance of programs sponsored by IREIC should not be used to predict our future results.

 

We are newly formed with no operating history.  You should consider an investment in our shares in light of the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by other newly formed companies with similar objectives. To be successful in this market, we and our Business Manager must, among other things:

 

·              identify and acquire real estate assets consistent with our investment strategies;

 

·              increase awareness of the Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. name within the investment products market;

 

·              attract, integrate, motivate and retain qualified personnel to manage our day-to-day operations; and

 

·              continue to build and expand our operations structure to support our business.

 

You should not rely upon the past performance of other IREIC-sponsored programs as an indicator of our future performance. There is no assurance that we will achieve our investment objectives.

 

There is no public market for our shares, and you may not be able to sell your shares.

 

There is no established public market for our shares and no assurance that one may develop. Our charter does not require our directors to seek stockholder approval to liquidate our assets by a specified date, nor does our charter require our directors to list our shares for trading by a specified date.  Our board does not anticipate evaluating a liquidity event, including a listing on a national securities exchange, until at least 2017.  There is no assurance the board will pursue a listing or other liquidity event at that time or at any other time in the future.  In addition, even if our board decides to seek a listing of our shares of common stock, there is no assurance that we will satisfy the listing requirements or that our shares will be approved for listing.  Further, our charter limits any person or group from owning more than 9.8% in value of our outstanding stock or more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding common stock without prior approval of our board. Moreover, our share repurchase program includes numerous restrictions that will limit your ability to sell your shares to us. Our board of directors may reject any request for repurchase of shares, or amend, suspend or terminate our share repurchase program upon notice. Therefore, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares promptly or at all. If you are able to sell your shares, you likely will have to sell them at a substantial

 

34


 

Table of Contents

 

discount to the price you paid for the shares. It also is likely that your shares would not be accepted as the primary collateral for a loan. You should purchase the shares only as a long-term investment because of the illiquid nature of the shares.

 

The offering price of our shares was determined by the board in its sole discretion.

 

Our board of directors established the offering price of our shares in its sole discretion.  The board did not consider any projection of the book or net value of our assets or operating income.  The offering price also is not based on a negotiation among our sponsor, us and the dealer manager, or on an independent valuation.  The offering price is not indicative of the proceeds that you would receive upon liquidation, or the price that you may be able to sell your shares. Further, the offering price may be significantly more than the price at which the shares would trade if they were to be listed on an exchange or actively traded by broker-dealers.

 

Investors will experience dilution in the net tangible book value of their shares equal to the offering costs associated with those shares.

 

Investors who purchase shares of our common stock in this offering will incur immediate dilution equal to the costs of the offering associated with those shares.  Further, if we are unsuccessful in investing the capital we raise in this offering on an effective and efficient basis, we may be required to fund distributions to our stockholders from a combination of our operations and financing activities, which include net proceeds of this offering and borrowings. Using certain of these sources may result in a liability to us, which would require a future repayment. The use of these sources for distributions and the ultimate repayment of any liabilities incurred could adversely impact our ability to pay distributions in future periods, decrease the amount of cash we have available for new investments, repayment of debt, share repurchases and other corporate purposes, and potentially reduce your overall return and adversely impact and dilute the value of your investment in shares of our common stock.

 

Because this is a “blind pool” offering, you will not have the opportunity to evaluate all of our investments before we make them.

 

We will not provide investors with a significant amount of information, if any, regarding our future investments prior to the time an acquisition becomes “probable” or we complete the acquisition.  Since we have not identified specific real estate assets that we intend to purchase with the net proceeds from this offering, we are considered a “blind pool,” which makes an investment in our common stock speculative.  We have established policies relating to the types of investments we will make and the creditworthiness of tenants of our properties, but our Business Manager will have wide discretion in implementing these policies, subject to the oversight of our board of directors.  Additionally, our Business Manager has discretion to determine the location, number and size of our investments and the percentage of net proceeds we may dedicate to a single investment.

 

Because our initial capitalization is thin, we are dependent upon the net proceeds of this offering to conduct our proposed business activities. If we are unable to raise substantially more than the minimum offering amount, we may not be able to invest in a diverse portfolio of real estate assets and an investment in our shares will be subject to greater risk.

 

Our initial capitalization is $200,000; therefore, we currently do not have sufficient capital to invest in a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments.  We are dependent upon the net proceeds of this offering to implement our business strategy, and you, rather than us, will incur the bulk of the risk if we are unable to raise substantial funds. This offering is being made on a “best efforts” basis, meaning that the securities dealers participating in the offering are only required to use their good

 

35

faith efforts and reasonable diligence to sell the shares, and have no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of the shares.  As a result, we do not know the amount of proceeds that will be raised in this offering, which may be substantially less than the amount we would need to achieve a broadly diversified portfolio of core real estate assets.

 

 If we are unable to raise substantially more than the minimum offering amount of $2 million, we will make very few investments, resulting in less diversification in terms of the number of investments we make and the geographic regions in which our investments are located.  If we only raise the minimum amount, we will most likely invest through one or more joint ventures with third parties and may only be able to make one investment. A lack of diversification would increase the likelihood that any single investment’s performance would materially affect our overall investment performance.  Additionally, our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income.

 

We depend on our dealer manager to raise funds in this offering.  Events that prevent our dealer manager from serving in that capacity would jeopardize the success of this offering.

 

The success of this offering depends to a large degree on the efforts of our dealer manager, Inland Securities Corporation, an affiliate of our sponsor.  Our dealer manager has limited capital.  In order to conduct its operations, our dealer manager depends on transaction-based compensation that it earns in connection with offerings in which it participates.  If our dealer manager does not earn sufficient revenues from the offerings that it manages, it may not have sufficient resources to retain the personnel necessary to market and sell shares on our behalf.  In the event that Inland Securities became unable to serve in the capacity of dealer manager for this or any public offering of our shares, we believe that it could be difficult to secure the services of another dealer manager.  Therefore, any event that hinders the ability of our dealer manager to conduct the offering on our behalf would jeopardize the success of the offering.

 

Our share repurchase program may be amended, suspended or terminated by our board of directors.

 

Our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend (in whole or in part), or terminate our share repurchase program.  Further, our board reserves the right in its sole discretion to change the repurchase prices or reject any requests for repurchases.  Any amendments to, or suspension or termination of, the share repurchase program may restrict or eliminate your ability to have us repurchase your shares and otherwise prevent you from liquidating your investment. See “Distribution Reinvestment Plan and Share Repurchase Program — Share Repurchase Program” for additional discussion regarding amendments to, or suspension or termination of, our share repurchase program.

 

Our charter authorizes us to issue additional shares of stock, which may reduce the percentage of our common stock owned by our other stockholders, subordinate stockholders’ rights or discourage a third party from acquiring us.

 

Investors purchasing in this offering will not have preemptive rights to purchase any shares issued by us in the future. Our charter authorizes us to issue up to 1,500,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 1,460,000,000 shares are classified as common stock and 40,000,000 shares are classified as preferred stock.  We may, in the sole discretion of our board:

 

·                sell additional shares in this or future offerings;

 

·                issue equity interests in a private offering of securities;

 

36

Future issuances of common stock will reduce the percentage of our outstanding shares owned by our other stockholders.  Further, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of stock with terms and conditions that could subordinate the rights of the holders of our current common stock or have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for our stockholders.  See “Description of Securities — Authorized Stock” for additional discussion regarding the issuance of additional shares.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

The amount and timing of distributions, if any, may vary.  We may pay distribution from sources other than cash flow from operations, including the net offering proceeds of this offering.

 

There are many factors that can affect the availability and timing of cash distributions paid to our stockholders such as our ability to buy, and earn positive yields on, assets, our operating expense levels, as well as many other variables. We may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to pay any distributions to our stockholders.  The actual amount and timing of distributions, if any, will be determined by our board of directors in its discretion, based on its analysis of our actual and expected cash flow, capital expenditures and investments, as well as general financial conditions.  Actual cash available for distribution may vary substantially from estimates made by our board.  In addition, to the extent we invest in development or redevelopment projects, or in real estate assets that have significant capital requirements, our ability to make distributions may be negatively impacted, especially while we are raising capital and acquiring real estate assets.

 

If we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations, determined in accordance with GAAP, to fully fund distributions during any given period, some or all of our distributions for any period may be paid from retained cash flow, from borrowings, from cash flow from investing activities, including the net proceeds from the sale of our assets, or from the net proceeds of this offering.  We have not limited the amount of monies from any of these sources that may be used to fund distributions.  Distributions from these sources reduce the amount of money available to invest in real estate assets.

 

Our Business Manager is under no obligation, and may not agree, to continue to forgo or defer its business management fee.

 

From time to time, IREIC or its affiliates have forgone or deferred a portion of the business management fee due them from the other REITs previously sponsored by IREIC to ensure that the particular REIT generated sufficient cash from operating activities to pay distributions.  In addition, from time to time, IREIC or its affiliates have contributed monies to the other IREIC-sponsored REITs to fund distributions.  In each case, IREIC or its affiliates determined the amounts that would be forgone, deferred or contributed in its or their sole discretion.

Likewise, we may fund distributions from, among other things, advances or contributions from our Business Manager or IREIC or from the cash retained by us in the case that our Business Manager defers, accrues or waives all, or a portion, of its business management fee, or waives its right to be reimbursed for certain expenses.  Neither our Business Manager nor IREIC has any obligation to provide us with advances or contributions, and our Business Manager is not obligated to defer, accrue or waive any portion of its business management fee or reimbursements.  Further, there is no assurance that any of these other sources will be available to fund distributions.

 

Recent market disruptions may adversely impact many aspects of our operating results and operating condition.

 

The financial and real estate markets have undergone pervasive and fundamental disruptions in the last few years. The disruptions have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on the availability of credit to businesses generally, and real estate in particular, and have resulted in and could lead to further weakening of the U.S. and global economies.  The availability of debt financing secured by commercial real estate has declined as a result of tightened underwriting standards.  Our business will be affected by market and economic challenges experienced by the U.S. economy or real estate industry as a whole or by the local economic conditions in the markets in which our real estate assets are located, including the dislocations in the credit markets and general global economic recession.  If these conditions continue after we begin acquiring real estate assets, they may materially affect the value of our real estate assets, our ability to pay distributions, the availability or the terms of financing that we anticipate utilizing and our ability to refinance any outstanding debt when due.  These challenging economic conditions also may impact the ability of certain of our tenants to satisfy rental payments under existing leases.  These conditions may have many consequences, including:

 

·              the financial condition of our tenants may be adversely affected, which may result in us having to reduce rental rates in order to retain the tenants;

 

·              an increase in the number of bankruptcies or insolvency proceedings of our tenants and lease guarantors, which could delay our efforts to collect rent and any past due balances under the relevant leases and ultimately could preclude collection of these sums;

 

·              credit spreads for major sources of capital may widen if stockholders demand higher risk premiums or interest rates could increase due to inflationary expectations, resulting in an increased cost for debt financing;

 

·              our ability to borrow on terms and conditions that we find acceptable may be limited, which could result in our investment operations generating lower overall economic returns and a reduced level of cash flow, which could potentially impact our ability to make distributions to our stockholders, or pursue acquisition opportunities, among other things, and increase our interest expense;

 

·              a further reduction in the amount of capital that is available to finance real estate, which, in turn, could lead to a decline in real estate values generally, reduce the number of, or dollar value of, real estate transactions, and reduce the loan to value ratio upon which lenders are willing to lend;

 

·              the value of certain of real estate assets may decrease below the amounts we pay for them, which would limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or to obtain debt financing secured by these assets and could reduce the availability of unsecured loans;

 

38


 

Table of Contents

 

·              the value and liquidity of short-term investments, if any, could be reduced as a result of the dislocation of the markets for our short-term investments and increased volatility in market rates for these investments or other factors; and

 

·              one or more counterparties to derivative financial instruments that we enter into could default on their obligations to us, or could fail, increasing the risk that we may not realize the benefits of these instruments.

 

For these and other reasons, we cannot assure you that we will be profitable or that we will realize growth in the value of our investments.

 

We may suffer from delays in selecting, acquiring and developing suitable assets.

 

Regardless of the amount of capital we raise or borrow, we may experience delays in deploying our capital into assets or in realizing a return on the capital we invest.  The more money we raise in this offering, the more important it will be to invest the net offering proceeds promptly. We could suffer from delays in locating suitable investments as a result of competition in the relevant market, regulatory requirements such as those imposed by the SEC which require us to provide audited financial statements for certain significant acquisitions and our reliance on IREA and other affiliates of IREIC to locate suitable investments for us at times when those entities are simultaneously seeking to locate suitable investments for other IREIC-sponsored programs.  We also may experience delays as a result of negotiating or obtaining the necessary purchase documentation to close an acquisition.  Further, our investments may not yield immediate returns, if at all.

 

We also may invest the net proceeds we receive from this offering in short-term, highly-liquid but very low yield investments.  These yields will be less than the distribution yield paid to stockholders, requiring us to earn a greater return from our other investments to make up for this “negative spread.”  There is no assurance we will be able to do so.  Further, we may use the principal amount of these investments, and any returns generated on these investments, to pay expenses or to acquire real estate assets instead of funding distributions with these amounts.

 

Our board of directors may change our investment policies without stockholder approval, which could alter the nature of your investment.

 

Our charter requires our independent directors to review our investment policies at least annually to determine that the policies we are following are in the best interest of our stockholders. These policies may change over time. The methods of implementing our investment policies may also vary, as new investment techniques are developed. Our investment policies, the methods for implementing them, and our other objectives, policies and procedures may be altered by a majority of the directors (which must include a majority of the independent directors), without the approval of our stockholders. As a result, the nature of your investment could change without your consent. A change in our investment strategy may, among other things, increase our exposure to interest rate risk, default risk and commercial real property market fluctuations, all of which could materially adversely affect our ability to achieve our investment objectives.

 

Actions of our joint venture partners could negatively impact our performance.

 

We may enter into joint ventures with third parties. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of funds that we may invest in these joint ventures.  We intend to develop and acquire properties through joint ventures with other persons or entities when warranted by the circumstances. The venture

 

39


 

Table of Contents

 

partners may share certain approval rights over major decisions and these investments may involve risks not otherwise present with other methods of investment in real estate, including, but not limited to:

 

·              the current economic conditions make it more likely that our partner in an investment may become bankrupt, which would mean that we and any other remaining partner would generally remain liable for the entity’s liabilities;

 

·              that our partner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals which are or which become inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and we may not agree on all proposed actions to certain aspects of the venture;

 

·              that our partner may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives, including our objective to qualify as a REIT;

 

·              that, if our partners fail to fund their share of any required capital contributions, we may be required to contribute that capital;

 

·              that venture agreements often restrict the transfer of a partner’s interest or may otherwise restrict our ability to sell the interest when we desire or on advantageous terms;

 

·              that our relationships with our partners are contractual in nature and may be terminated or dissolved under the terms of the agreements and, in each event, we may not continue to own or operate the interests or assets underlying the relationship or may need to purchase these interests or assets at an above-market price to continue ownership;

 

·              that disputes between us and our partners may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business; and

 

·              that we may in certain circumstances be liable for our partner’s actions.

 

The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to pay distributions and invest in real estate assets.

 

We expect to deposit our cash and cash equivalents in several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to the failure or takeover of any one of these entities.  However, the Federal Insurance Deposit Corporation, or “FDIC,” generally only insures limited amounts per depositor per insured bank.  Through 2013, the FDIC is insuring up to $250,000 per depositor per insured bank for interest-bearing accounts.  If our deposits exceed these federally insured levels and if any of the banking institutions in which we have deposited our funds ultimately fails, we may lose our deposits over the federally insured levels.  The loss of our deposits could reduce the amount of cash we have available to distribute or invest.

 

We rely on IREIC and its affiliates and subsidiaries to manage and conduct our operations including this offering. Any material adverse change in IREIC’s financial condition or our relationship with IREIC could have a material adverse effect on our business and ability to achieve our investment objectives.

 

We depend on IREIC and its affiliates and subsidiaries to manage and conduct our operations including this offering. IREIC, through one or more of its affiliates or subsidiaries, owns and controls our dealer manager, Business Manager and Real Estate Managers.  IREIC has sponsored numerous public and private programs and through its affiliates or subsidiaries have provided offering, asset, property and other management and ancillary services to these entities. From time to time, IREIC or the applicable affiliate or subsidiary has waived fees or made capital contributions to support these public or private programs. IREIC or its applicable affiliates or subsidiaries may waive fees or make capital contributions in the future. Further, IREIC and its affiliates or subsidiaries may from time to time be parties to litigation or other claims arising from sponsoring these entities or providing these services. As such, IREIC and these other entities may incur  costs, liabilities or other expenses arising from litigation or claims that are either not reimbursable or not covered by insurance. Future waivers of fees, additional capital contributions or costs, liabilities or other expenses arising from litigation or claims could have a material adverse effect on IREIC’s financial condition and ability to fund our Business Manager or Real Estate Managers to the extent necessary.

 

If our Business Manager or Real Estate Managers lose or are unable to obtain key personnel, our ability to implement our investment strategies could be hindered.

 

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of certain of our executive officers and other key personnel of our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers.   Neither we nor our Business Manager or Real Estate Managers has employment agreements with these persons, and we cannot guarantee that all, or any particular one, will remain affiliated with us or with them. If any of the key personnel of our Business Manager or Real Estate Managers were to cease their affiliation with our

Table of Contents

 

Business Manager or Real Estate Managers, respectively, our results and ability to pursue our business plan could suffer.  Further, we do not intend to separately maintain “key person” life insurance that would provide us with proceeds in the event of death or disability of these persons. We believe our future success depends, in part, upon the ability of our Business Manager or Real Estate Managers to hire and retain highly skilled managerial, operational and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we cannot assure you that our Business Manager or Real Estate Managers will be successful in attracting and retaining skilled personnel. If our Business Manager or Real Estate Managers loses or is unable to obtain the services of key personnel, our ability to implement our investment strategies could be delayed or hindered, and the value of your investment could decline.

 

If we internalize our management functions, we may be unable to retain key personnel.

 

At some point in the future, we may consider internalizing the functions performed for us by our Business Manager.  Even if we internalize our management functions, we may not be able to hire certain key employees of the Business Manager and its affiliates, even if we are allowed to offer them positions with our company.  Failure to hire or retain key personnel could result in increased costs and deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting. These deficiencies could cause us to incur additional costs and divert management’s attention from most effectively managing our investments.

 

If we seek to internalize our management functions other than as provided for under our business management agreement, we could incur greater costs and lose key personnel.

 

Our board may decide that we should pursue an internalization by hiring our own group of executives and other employees or entering into an agreement with a third party, such as a merger, instead of by transitioning the services performed by, and hiring the persons providing services for, our Business Manager. The costs that we would incur in this case are uncertain and may be substantial.  Further, we would lose the benefit of the experience of our Business Manager.

 

Further, if we seek to internalize the functions performed for us by our Real Estate Managers, the purchase price will be separately negotiated by our independent directors, or a committee thereof, and will not be subject to the transition procedures described in our business management agreement.

 

As an “emerging growth company,” we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain reporting and disclosure requirements, which may make our future public filings different than that of other public companies.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the recently enacted JOBS Act, and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and disclosure requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies. As an emerging growth company, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain reporting and disclosure requirements. We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of: (1) the last date of the fiscal year during which we had total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more; (2) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; or (3) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined under Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.  For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

 

·              have an auditor attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

41


 

Table of Contents

 

·              submit certain executive compensation matters to stockholder advisory votes pursuant to the “say on frequency” and “say on pay” provisions (requiring a non-binding stockholder vote to approve compensation of certain executive officers) and the “say on golden parachute” provisions (requiring a non-binding stockholder vote to approve golden parachute arrangements for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other business combinations) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010; and

 

·             disclose certain executive compensation related items, such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

 

If we choose to take advantage of any or all of these reduced hurdles, the information that we provide you in our future public filings may be different than that of other public companies.  The exact implications of the JOBS Act for us are still subject to interpretations and guidance by the SEC and other regulatory agencies.  In addition, as our business grows, we may no longer satisfy the conditions of an emerging growth company.  We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules and we cannot assure you that we will be able to take advantage of all of the benefits of the JOBS Act.

 

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company may take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies.  This means that an emerging growth company can delay adopting certain accounting standards until such standards are otherwise applicable to private companies.  We have elected to opt out of this transition period, and will therefore comply with new or revised accounting standards on the applicable dates on which the adoption of these standards is required for non-emerging growth companies.  This election is irrevocable.

 

Your return on your investment in our common stock may be reduced if we are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

 

The company intends to engage primarily in the business of investing in real estate and is not registered, and does not intend to register itself or any of its subsidiaries, as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.  If we become obligated to register the company or any of its subsidiaries as an investment company, the registered entity would have to comply with substantial regulation under the Investment Company Act with respect to capital structure (including the registered entity’s ability to use borrowings), management, operations, transactions with affiliated persons (as defined in the Investment Company Act) and portfolio composition, including disclosure requirements and restrictions with respect to diversification and industry concentration, and other matters.  Compliance with the Investment Company Act would limit our ability to make certain investments and require us to significantly restructure our operations and business plan.  The costs we would incur and the limitations that would be imposed on us as a result of such compliance and restructuring would negatively affect the value of our common stock, our ability to make distributions and the sustainability of our business and investment strategies.

 

We believe that neither we nor any subsidiaries we may own will fall within the definition of an investment company under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act because we intend to primarily engage in the business of investing in real property, through our wholly or majority owned subsidiaries, each of which we expect to have at least 60% of their assets in real property.  The company intends to conduct its operations, directly and through wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries, so that

 

42


 

Table of Contents

 

none of the company and its subsidiaries is registered or will be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.  Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act, in relevant part, defines an investment company as (i) any issuer that is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities, or (ii) any issuer that is engaged, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns, or proposes to acquire, “investment securities” having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis, which we refer to as the “40% test.”  The term “investment securities” generally includes all securities except government securities and securities of majority-owned subsidiaries that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exemption from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.  We and our subsidiaries intend to be primarily engaged in the business of investing in real property and, as such, expect to fall outside of the definition of an investment company under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act.  We also intend to conduct our operations and the operations of our subsidiaries so that each complies with the 40% test.

 

Accordingly, we believe that neither the company nor any of its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries will be considered investment companies under either Section 3(a)(1)(A) or Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act.  If the company or any of its wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries would ever inadvertently fall within one of the definitions of “investment company,” we intend to rely on the exemption provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act.  To rely upon Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act as it has been interpreted by the SEC staff, an entity would have to invest at least 55% of its total assets in “mortgage and other liens on and interests in real estate,” which we refer to as “qualifying real estate investments” and maintain an additional 25% of its total assets in qualifying real estate investments or other real estate-related assets.  The remaining 20% of the entity’s assets can consist of miscellaneous assets.  These criteria may limit what we buy, sell and hold.

 

We will classify our assets for purposes of Section 3(c)(5)(C) based in large measure upon no-action letters issued by the SEC staff and other interpretive guidance provided by the SEC and its staff.  The no-action positions are based on factual situations that may be substantially different from the factual situations we may face, and a number of these no-action positions were issued more than twenty years ago. Pursuant to this guidance, and depending on the characteristics of the specific investments, certain mortgage-backed securities, other mortgage-related instruments, joint venture investments and the equity securities of other entities may not constitute qualifying real estate assets, and therefore, we may need to limit our investments in these types of assets.  The SEC or its staff may not concur with the way we classify our assets. Future revisions to the Investment Company Act or further guidance from the SEC or its staff may cause us to no longer be in compliance with the exemption from the definition of an “investment company” provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) and may force us to re-evaluate our portfolio and our investment strategy.  For example, on August 31, 2011 the SEC issued a concept release and request for comments regarding the Section 3(c)(5)(C) exemption (Release No. IC-29778) in which it contemplated the possibility of issuing new rules or providing new interpretations of the exemption that might, among other things, define the phrase “liens on and other interests in real estate” or consider sources of income in determining a company’s “primary business.”  To the extent that the SEC or its staff provides more specific or different guidance, we may be required to adjust our strategy accordingly. Any additional guidance from the SEC or its staff could provide additional flexibility to us, or it could further inhibit our ability to pursue the strategies we have chosen.

 

A change in the value of any of our assets could cause us to fall within the definition of “investment company” and negatively affect our ability to be free from registration and regulation under the Investment Company Act.  To avoid being required to register the company or any of its subsidiaries

Table of Contents

 

as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want to sell and may need to sell assets we would otherwise wish to retain.  Sales may be required during adverse market conditions, and we could be forced to accept a price below that which we would otherwise consider appropriate.  In addition, we may have to acquire additional income- or loss-generating assets that we might not otherwise have acquired or may have to forgo opportunities to acquire interests in companies that we would otherwise want to acquire and would be important to our investment strategy.  Any such selling, acquiring or holding of assets driven by Investment Company Act considerations could negatively affect the value of our common stock, our ability to make distributions and the sustainability of our business and investment strategies, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

If we were required to register the company as an investment company but failed to do so, we would be prohibited from engaging in our business, and criminal and civil actions could be brought against us. In addition, our contracts would be unenforceable unless a court required enforcement, and a court could appoint a receiver to take control of us and liquidate our business.

 

Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate

 

There are inherent risks with real estate investments.

 

Investments in real estate assets are subject to varying degrees of risk. For example, an investment in real estate cannot generally be quickly sold, limiting our ability to promptly vary our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions. Investments in real estate assets also are subject to adverse changes in general economic conditions which, for example, reduce the demand for rental space.

 

Among the factors that could impact our real estate assets and the value of an investment in us are:

 

·              local conditions such as an oversupply of space or reduced demand for properties of the type that we seek to acquire;

 

·              inability to collect rent from tenants;

 

·              vacancies or inability to rent space on favorable terms;

 

·              inflation and other increases in operating costs, including insurance premiums, utilities and real estate taxes;

 

·              adverse changes in the laws and regulations applicable to us;

 

·               the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;

 

·               changing market demographics;

 

·               an inability to acquire and finance real estate assets on favorable terms, if at all;

 

·                acts of God, such as earthquakes, floods or other uninsured losses; and

 

·                changes or increases in interest rates and availability of financing.

 

44

In addition, periods of economic slowdown or recession, or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could result in a general decline in rents or increased defaults under existing leases.

 

Economic conditions may adversely affect our income and we could be subject to risks associated with acquiring discounted real estate assets.

 

U.S. and international financial markets are volatile due to a combination of many factors, including decreasing real estate values, limited access to credit markets, higher fuel prices, less consumer spending and fears of a national and global recession. The effects of the current market dislocation may persist as financial institutions continue to restructure their business and capital structures. As a result, this economic downturn has reduced demand for space and removed support for rents and property values. Since we cannot predict when the real estate markets will recover, the value of any properties we acquire may decline if current market conditions persist or worsen.

 

In addition, we will be subject to the risks generally incident to the ownership of real estate assets.  For example, even though we may purchase assets at a discount from historical cost or market value due to, among other things, substantial deferred maintenance, abandonment, undesirable location or market, or poorly structured financing of the real estate or debt instruments underlying the assets, there is no assurance that we will be able to overcome these factors. Further, the continuing instability in the financial markets has limited the availability of lines of credit and the degree to which tenants have access to cash to pay rents or debt service on the underlying assets.  All of these factors could further decrease the value of real estate assets.

 

Further, irrespective of the instability the financial markets may have on the return produced by real estate assets, the evolving efforts to correct the instability make the valuation of these assets highly unpredictable. The fluctuation in market conditions makes judging the future performance of these assets difficult. The real estate assets we acquire may substantially decline in value, which would, among other things, negatively impact our ability to finance or refinance debt secured by these assets or earn positive returns on these assets, and may require us to write down or impair the value of these assets, which would have a negative impact on our results of operations and ability to pay or sustain distributions.

 

We will depend on tenants for the majority of our revenue from real property investments, and lease terminations or the exercise of any co-tenancy rights will adversely affect our operations.

 

Any defaults on lease payment obligations by a tenant will cause us to lose the revenue associated with the relevant lease.  If these defaults become significant, we will be forced to use other funds to make payments on the mortgage indebtedness secured by the impacted property to prevent a foreclosure action.  If a tenant defaults, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment.  In addition, if a tenant at a single-user facility, which has been designed or built primarily for a particular tenant or a specific type of use, fails to renew its lease or defaults on its lease obligations, we may not be able to readily market a single-user facility to a new tenant, if at all, without making substantial capital improvements or incurring other significant re-leasing costs.

 

Further, with respect to any retail properties we acquire, we may enter into leases containing co-tenancy provisions. Co-tenancy provisions may allow a tenant to exercise certain rights if, among other things, another tenant fails to open for business, delays its opening or ceases to operate, or if a percentage of the property’s gross leasable space or a particular portion of the property is not leased or subsequently becomes vacant. A tenant exercising co-tenancy rights may be able to abate minimum rent, reduce its

share or the amount of its payments of common area operating expenses and property taxes or cancel its lease.

 

We may suffer adverse consequences due to the financial difficulties, bankruptcy or insolvency of our tenants.

 

Tenants at our properties may experience financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn in their business. The retail sector in particular has been, and could continue to be, adversely affected by weakness in the national, regional and local economies, the level of consumer spending and consumer confidence, the adverse financial condition of some large retailing companies, the ongoing consolidation in the retail sector, the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets and increasing competition from discount retailers, outlet malls, internet retailers and other online businesses. A bankruptcy filing by, or relating to, one of our tenants or a lease guarantor would bar efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from that tenant or lease guarantor, or its property, unless we receive an order permitting us to do so from the bankruptcy court. In addition, we cannot evict a tenant solely because of bankruptcy. The bankruptcy of a tenant or lease guarantor could delay our efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases, and could ultimately preclude collection of these sums. If a lease is assumed by the tenant in bankruptcy, all pre-bankruptcy balances due under the lease must be paid to us in full. If, however, a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general, unsecured claim for damages. An unsecured claim would only be paid to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of general, unsecured claims. Restrictions under the bankruptcy laws further limit the amount of any other claims that we can make if a lease is rejected. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of the remaining rent during the term.

 

Geographic concentration of our portfolio may make us particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the real estate markets of those areas.

 

In the event that we have a concentration of properties in a particular geographic area, our operating results are likely to be impacted by economic changes affecting the real estate markets in that area.  Your investment will be subject to greater risk to the extent that we lack a geographically diversified portfolio of properties.

 

Inflation may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Increases in the rate of inflation may adversely affect our net operating income from leases with stated rent increases or limits on the tenant’s obligation to pay its share of operating expenses, which could be lower than the increase in inflation at any given time.  Inflation could also have an adverse effect on consumer spending, which may impact our tenants’ sales and, with respect to those leases including percentage rent clauses, our average rents.

 

We may be restricted from re-leasing space at our retail properties.

 

Leases with retail tenants may contain provisions giving the particular tenant the exclusive right to sell particular types of merchandise or provide specific types of services within the particular retail center. These provisions may limit the number and types of prospective tenants interested in leasing space in a particular retail property.

 

46


 

Table of Contents

 

Our real estate investments may include single-tenant properties that may be difficult to sell or re-lease upon tenant defaults or early lease terminations.

 

We may acquire freestanding single-tenant properties. Single-tenant properties are relatively illiquid compared to other types of real estate and financial assets, which will further limit our ability to quickly change our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. With these properties, if the current lease is terminated or not renewed, we may be required to renovate the property or to make rent concessions in order to lease the property to another tenant or sell the property. Moreover, as the current lease nears expiration, it may be difficult to sell the property on terms and conditions that we consider favorable, if at all.  In addition, in the event we are forced to sell the property, we may have difficulty selling it to a party other than the tenant or borrower unless we make substantial capital investments.

 

Acquiring or attempting to acquire multiple properties in a single transaction may adversely affect our operations.

 

From time to time, we may acquire multiple properties in a single transaction. Portfolio acquisitions typically are more complex and expensive than single property acquisitions, and the risk that a multiple-property acquisition does not close may be greater than in a single-property acquisition. Portfolio acquisitions may also result in us owning investments in geographically dispersed markets, placing additional demands on our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers in managing the properties in the portfolio. In addition, a seller may require that a group of properties be purchased as a package even though we may not want to purchase one or more properties in the portfolio. In these situations, if we are unable to identify another person or entity to acquire the unwanted properties, we may be required to operate or attempt to dispose of these properties.  We also may be required to accumulate a large amount of cash to fund such acquisitions. We would expect the returns that we earn on such cash to be less than the returns on investments in real property.  Therefore, acquiring multiple properties in a single transaction may reduce the overall yield on our portfolio.

 

Short-term leases may expose us to the effects of declining market rent.

 

Certain types of the properties we may acquire, such as multi-family properties, typically have short term leases with tenants.  There is no assurance that we will be able to renew these leases as they expire or attract replacement tenants on comparable terms, if at all.  Therefore, the returns we earn on this type of investment may be more volatile than the returns generated by properties with longer term leases.

 

We will not own or control the land in any ground lease properties that we may acquire.

 

We may acquire property on land owned by a third party known as a “leasehold interest.” Although we will have a right to use the property, we do not retain fee ownership in the underlying land. Accordingly, we will have no economic interest in the land or building at the expiration of the leasehold interest. As a result, we will not share in any increase in value of the land associated with the underlying property. Further, because we do not control the underlying land, the lessor could take certain actions to disrupt our rights in the property or our tenants’ operation of the properties.

 

We may be unable to sell assets if or when we decide to do so.

 

Qualifying as a REIT and avoiding registration under the Investment Company Act as well as many other factors, such as general economic conditions, the availability of financing, interest rates and the supply and demand for the particular asset type, may limit our ability to sell real estate assets. These

 

47

factors are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any real estate asset on favorable terms and conditions, if at all, or the length of time needed to sell an asset.

 

Sale leaseback transactions may be recharacterized in a manner unfavorable to us.

 

We may from time to time enter into a sale leaseback transaction where we purchase a property and then lease the property to the seller. The transaction may, however, be characterized as a financing instead of a sale in the case of the seller’s bankruptcy. In this case, we would not be treated as the owner of the property but rather as a creditor with no interest in the property itself. The seller may have the ability in a bankruptcy proceeding to restructure the financing by imposing new terms and conditions. The transaction also may be recharacterized as a joint venture. In this case, we would be treated as a joint venturer with liability, under some circumstances, for debts incurred by the seller relating to the property.

 

Operating expenses may increase in the future and to the extent these increases cannot be passed on to our tenants, our cash flow and our operating results would decrease.

 

Operating expenses, such as expenses for fuel, utilities, labor, building materials and insurance are not fixed and may increase in the future.  Unless specifically provided for in a lease, there is no guarantee that we will be able to pass these increases on to our tenants. To the extent these increases cannot be passed on to our tenants, any increases would cause our cash flow and our operating results to decrease, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to pay or sustain distributions.

 

We will depend on the availability of public utilities and services, especially for water and electric power. Any reduction, interruption or cancellation of these services may adversely affect us.

 

Public utilities, especially those that provide water and electric power, will be fundamental for the sound operation of our assets. The delayed delivery or any material reduction or prolonged interruption of these services could allow certain tenants to terminate their leases or result in an increase in our costs, as we may be forced to use backup generators, which also could be insufficient to fully operate our facilities and could result in our inability to provide services.

 

An increase in real estate taxes may decrease our income from properties.

 

Some local real property tax assessors may seek to reassess some of our properties as a result of our acquisition of the property. Generally, from time to time our property taxes will increase as property values or assessment rates change or for other reasons deemed relevant by the assessors.  In fact, property taxes may increase even if the value of the underlying property declines.  An increase in the assessed valuation of a property for real estate tax purposes will result in an increase in the related real estate taxes on that property. Although some tenant leases may permit us to pass through the tax increases to the tenants for payment, there is no assurance that renewal leases or future leases will be negotiated on the same basis. Increases not passed through to tenants will adversely affect our cash flow from operations and our ability to pay distributions.

 

Potential development and construction delays and resulting increased costs and risks may reduce cash flow from operations.

 

From time to time we may acquire unimproved real property or properties that are under development or construction. Investments in these properties will be subject to the uncertainties generally associated with real estate development and construction, including those related to re-zoning land for development, environmental concerns of governmental entities or community groups and the developers’ ability to complete the property in conformity with plans, specifications, budgeted costs and timetables. If

 

48


 

Table of Contents

 

a developer fails to perform, we may resort to legal action to rescind the purchase or the construction contract or to compel performance. A developer’s performance may also be affected or delayed by conditions beyond the developer’s control. Delays in completing construction could also give tenants the right to terminate leases. We may incur additional risks when we make periodic progress payments or other advances to developers before they complete construction. These and other factors can result in increased costs of a project or loss of our investment. In addition, we will be subject to lease-up risks associated with newly constructed projects. We also must rely on rental income and expense projections and estimates of the fair market value of property upon completion of construction when agreeing upon a purchase price at the time we acquire the property. If our projections are inaccurate, we may pay too much for a property, and the return on our investment could suffer.

 

If we contract with a development company for newly developed property, our earnest money deposit made to the development company may not be fully refunded.

 

We may enter into one or more contracts, either directly or indirectly through joint ventures with third parties, to acquire real property from a development company that is engaged in construction and development of commercial real estate. We may be required to pay a substantial earnest money deposit at the time of contracting with a development entity. At the time of contracting and the payment of the earnest money deposit by us, the development company typically will have only a contract to acquire land, a development agreement to develop a building on the land and an agreement with one or more tenants to lease all or part of the property upon its completion. If the development company fails to develop the property or all or a specified portion of the pre-leased tenants fail to take possession under their leases for any reason, we may not be able to obtain a refund of our earnest money deposit.

 

We may obtain only limited warranties when we purchase a property and would have only limited recourse in the event our due diligence did not identify any issues that lower the value of our property.

 

The seller of a property often sells the property in its “as is” condition on a “where is” basis and “with all faults,” without any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose. In addition, purchase agreements may contain only limited warranties, representations and indemnifications that will only survive for a limited period after the closing. The purchase of properties with limited warranties increases the risk that we may lose some or all of our invested capital in the property, as well as the loss of rental income from that property.

 

Uninsured losses or premiums for insurance coverage may adversely affect our returns.

 

The nature of the activities at certain properties we may acquire will expose us and our tenants or operators to potential liability for personal injuries and, in certain instances, property damage claims. In addition, there are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. Insurance risks associated with potential terrorist acts could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims.   These policies may or may not be available at a reasonable cost, if at all, which could inhibit our ability to finance or refinance our properties. In such instances, we may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses. We cannot provide any assurance that we will have adequate coverage for these losses. In the event that any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully covered by insurance, the value of the particular asset will likely be reduced by the uninsured loss. In addition, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to fund any uninsured losses.

The costs of complying with environmental laws and other governmental laws and regulations may adversely affect us.

 

All real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, and the remediation of contamination associated with disposals. We also are required to comply with various local, state and federal fire, health, life-safety and similar regulations.  Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on tenants, owners or operators for the costs of investigating or remediating contaminated properties.  These laws and regulations often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances.   The cost of removing or remediating could be substantial.  In addition, the presence of these substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent a property or to use the property as collateral for borrowing.

 

Environmental laws and regulations also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures by us.  Environmental laws and regulations provide for sanctions in the event of noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties.  Third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances.  Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretations of existing laws may require material expenditures by us.  For example, various federal, regional and state laws and regulations have been implemented or are under consideration to mitigate the effects of climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions.  Among other things, “green” building codes may seek to reduce emissions through the imposition of standards for design, construction materials, water and energy usage and efficiency, and waste management.  These requirements could increase the costs of maintaining or improving our existing properties or developing new properties.

 

We may acquire properties in regions that are particularly susceptible to natural disasters.

 

We may acquire properties located in geographical areas that are regularly impacted by severe storms, such as hurricanes or tornados, or other natural disasters such as flooding or earthquakes.   In addition, according to some experts, global climate change could result in heightened severe weather, thus further impacting these geographical areas.  Natural disasters in these areas may cause damage to our properties beyond the scope of our insurance coverage, thus requiring us to make substantial expenditures to repair these properties and resulting in a loss of revenues from these properties.  Any properties located near either coast will be exposed to more severe weather than properties located inland.  Elements such as salt water and humidity in these areas can increase or accelerate wear on the properties’ weatherproofing and mechanical, electrical and other systems, and cause mold issues over time. As a result, we may incur additional operating costs and expenditures for capital improvements at properties that we acquire in these areas.

 

Our properties may contain or develop harmful mold, which could lead to liability for adverse health effects and costs of remediating the problem.

 

The presence of mold at any of our properties could require us to undertake a costly program to remediate, contain or remove the mold. Mold growth may occur when moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials. Some molds may produce airborne toxins or irritants. Concern about indoor exposure to mold has been increasing because exposure to mold may cause a variety of adverse health

 

50


 

Table of Contents

 

effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. The presence of mold could expose us to liability from our tenants, their employees and others if property damage or health concerns arise.

 

We may incur significant costs to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act or similar laws.

 

Our properties will generally be subject to the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, which we refer to as the Disabilities Act. Under the Disabilities Act, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The Disabilities Act has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” that generally require that buildings and services be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. In addition, with respect to any apartment properties, we also must comply with the Fair Housing Amendment Act of 1988, or FHAA, which requires that apartment communities first occupied after March 13, 1991 be accessible to handicapped residents and visitors.

 

The requirements of the Disabilities Act or FHAA could require removal of access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties or, in some cases, an award of damages. We will attempt to acquire properties that comply with the Disabilities Act and the FHAA or place the burden on the seller or other third party, such as a tenant, to ensure compliance with these laws. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to acquire properties or allocate responsibilities in this manner. We may incur significant costs to comply with these laws.

 

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may affect the markets in which we operate, our operations and our profitability.

 

We may acquire properties located in areas that are susceptible to attack. In addition, any kind of terrorist activity, including terrorist acts against public institutions or buildings or modes of public transportation (including airlines, trains or buses) could lessen travel by the public, which could have a negative effect on our operations. These attacks may directly impact the value of our assets through damage, destruction, loss or increased security costs. Although we may obtain terrorism insurance, we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage to fund any losses we may incur. Risks associated with potential acts of terrorism could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims. Further, certain losses resulting from these types of events are uninsurable or not insurable at reasonable costs.

 

More generally, any terrorist attack, other act of violence or war, including armed conflicts, could result in increased volatility in, or damage to, the United States and worldwide financial markets and economy. Any terrorist incident may, for example, deter people from traveling, which could affect the ability of some of our properties to generate operating income and therefore our ability to pay distributions. Additionally, increased economic volatility could adversely affect our tenants’ ability to pay rent on their leases or our ability to borrow money or issue capital stock at acceptable prices.

 

Risks Associated with Investments in Securities

 

Through owning real estate-related equity securities, we will be subject to the risks impacting each entity’s assets.

 

We intend to invest in real estate-related securities. Equity securities are always unsecured and subordinated to other obligations of the issuer. Investments in real estate-related equity securities are subject to the risks associated with investing directly in real estate assets and numerous additional risks including: (1) limited liquidity in the secondary trading market in the case of unlisted or thinly traded

 

51


 

Table of Contents

 

securities; (2) substantial market price volatility resulting from, among other things, changes in prevailing interest rates in the overall market or related to a specific issuer, as well as changing investor perceptions of the market as a whole, REIT or real estate securities in particular or the specific issuer in question; (3) subordination to the liabilities of the issuer; (4) the possibility that earnings of the issuer may be insufficient to meet its debt service obligations or to pay distributions; and (5) with respect to investments in real estate-related preferred equity securities, the operation of mandatory sinking fund or call/redemption provisions during periods of declining interest rates that could cause the issuer to redeem the securities. In addition, investments in real estate-related securities involve special risks relating to the particular issuer of the securities, including the financial condition and business outlook of the issuer. Investing in real estate-related securities will expose our results of operations and financial condition to the factors impacting the trading prices of publicly-traded entities.

 

Recent market conditions and the risk of continued market deterioration may reduce the value of any real estate-related securities in which we may invest.

 

Mortgage loans have experienced higher than historical rates of delinquency, foreclosure and loss during the recent dislocations in the world credit markets. These and other related events significantly impacted the capital markets associated not only with mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations, but also the world credit and financial markets as a whole. Investing significant amounts in real estate-related securities, including CMBS, will expose our results of operations and financial condition to the volatility of the credit markets.

 

Because there may be significant uncertainty in the valuation of, or in the stability of the value of, certain securities holdings, the fair values of these investments might not reflect the prices that we would obtain if we sold these investments. Furthermore, these investments are subject to rapid changes in value caused by sudden developments that could have a material adverse effect on the value of these investments, and cause us to incur impairment charges or unrealized losses.

 

Investments in CMBS are subject to all of the risks of the underlying mortgage loans and the risks of the securitization process.

 

CMBS are securities that evidence interests in, or are secured by, a single commercial mortgage loan or a pool of commercial mortgage loans. Accordingly, these securities are subject to all of the risks of the underlying mortgage loans. In a changing interest rate environment, the value of CMBS may be adversely affected when payments on underlying mortgages do not occur as anticipated, resulting in the extension of the security’s effective maturity and the related increase in interest rate sensitivity of a longer-term instrument. The value of CMBS may also change due to shifts in the market’s perception of issuers and regulatory or tax changes adversely affecting the mortgage securities market as a whole. In addition, CMBS are subject to the credit risk associated with the performance of the underlying mortgage properties. In certain instances, third-party guarantees or other forms of credit support designed to reduce credit risk may not be effective due, for example, to defaults by third party guarantors.

 

CMBS are also subject to several risks created through the securitization process. Generally, CMBS are issued in classes or tranches similar to mortgage loans. To the extent that we invest in a subordinate class or tranche, we will be paid interest only to the extent that there are funds available after paying the senior class. To the extent the collateral pool includes delinquent loans, subordinate classes will likely not be fully paid. Subordinate CMBS are also subject to greater credit risk than those CMBS that are more highly rated. Further, the ratings assigned to any particular class of CMBS may prove to be inaccurate. Thus, any particular class of CMBS may be riskier and more volatile than the rating may suggest, all of which may cause the returns on any CMBS investment to be less than anticipated.

Risks Associated with Debt Financing

 

Continued disruptions in the financial markets and challenging economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to secure debt financing on attractive terms and our ability to service any future indebtedness that we may incur.

 

The domestic and international commercial real estate debt markets continue to be very volatile as a result of, among other things, the tightening of underwriting standards by lenders and credit rating agencies. This is resulting in less availability of credit and increasing costs for what is available.  If the overall cost of borrowing increases, either by increases in the index rates or by increases in lender spreads, the increased costs may result in future acquisitions generating lower overall economic returns and potentially reducing future cash flow available for distribution. If these disruptions in the debt markets persist, our ability to borrow monies to finance the purchase of, or other activities related to, real estate assets will be negatively impacted. If we are unable to borrow monies on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, we likely will have to reduce the number of properties we can purchase, and the return on the properties we do purchase may be lower. In addition, we may find it difficult, costly or impossible to refinance indebtedness which is maturing.

 

Further, economic conditions could negatively impact commercial real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy, lower rental rates and declining values of the real estate assets we acquire and in the collateral securing any loan investments we may make, which could have various negative impacts.  Specifically, the value of collateral securing any loan investment we may make could decrease below the outstanding principal amounts of such loans, requiring us to pledge more collateral.

 

Borrowings may reduce the funds available for distribution and increase the risk of loss since defaults may cause us to lose the properties securing the loans.

 

We may, in some instances, acquire properties by assuming existing financing or borrowing new monies. We may also borrow money for other purposes to, among other things, satisfy the requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our “REIT annual taxable income,” subject to certain adjustments, or as is otherwise necessary or advisable to assure that we continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Over the long term, however, payments required on any amounts we borrow reduce the funds available for, among other things, acquisitions, capital expenditures for existing properties or distributions to our stockholders because cash otherwise available for these purposes is used to pay principal and interest on this debt.

 

If there is a shortfall between the cash flow from a property and the cash flow needed to service mortgage debt on a property, then the amount of cash flow from operations available for distributions to stockholders may be reduced. In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss since defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in lenders initiating foreclosure actions. In such a case, we could lose the property securing the loan that is in default, thus reducing the value of your investment. For tax purposes, a foreclosure is treated as a sale of the property or properties for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the property or properties. If the outstanding balance of the debt exceeds our tax basis in the property or properties, we would recognize taxable gain on the foreclosure but would not receive any cash proceeds. We also may fully or partially guarantee any monies that subsidiaries borrow to purchase or operate properties. In these cases, we will likely be responsible to the lender for repaying the loans if the subsidiary is unable to do so. If any mortgage contains cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, more than one property may be affected by a default.

 

53


 

Table of Contents

 

If we are unable to borrow at favorable rates, we may not be able to acquire new properties.

 

If we are unable to borrow money at favorable rates, we may be unable to acquire additional real estate assets or refinance existing loans at maturity. Further, we may enter into loan agreements or other credit arrangements that require us to pay interest on amounts we borrow at variable or “adjustable” rates. Increases in interest rates will increase our interest costs. If interest rates are higher when we refinance our loans, our expenses will increase and we may not be able to pass on this added cost in the form of increased rents, thereby reducing our cash flow and the amount available for distribution to you.  Further, during periods of rising interest rates, we may be forced to sell one or more of our properties in order to repay existing loans, which may not permit us to maximize the return on the particular properties being sold.

 

Interest-only indebtedness may increase our risk of default and ultimately may reduce our funds available for distribution to our stockholders.

 

We may enter into mortgage indebtedness that does not require us to pay principal for all or a portion of the life of the debt instrument. During the period when no principal payments are required, the amount of each scheduled payment is less than that of a traditional amortizing mortgage loan. The principal balance of the mortgage loan is not reduced (except in the case of prepayments) because there are no scheduled monthly payments of principal required during this period. After the interest-only period, we may be required either to make scheduled payments of principal and interest or to make a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at or prior to maturity. These required principal or balloon payments will increase the amount of our scheduled payments and may increase our risk of default under the related mortgage loan if we do not have funds available or are unable to refinance the obligation.

 

Lenders may restrict certain aspects of our operations.

 

The terms and conditions contained in any of our loan documents may require us to maintain cash reserves, limit the aggregate amount we may borrow on a secured and unsecured basis, require us to satisfy restrictive financial covenants, prevent us from entering into certain business transactions, such as a merger, sale of assets or other business combination, restrict our leasing operations or require us to obtain consent from the lender to complete transactions or make investments that are ordinarily approved only by our board of directors. In addition, secured lenders may restrict our ability to discontinue insurance coverage on a mortgaged property even though we may believe that the insurance premiums paid to insure against certain losses, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters, are greater than the potential risk of loss.

 

We may acquire or finance properties with lock-out provisions, which may prohibit us from selling a property, or may require us to maintain specified debt levels for a period of years on some properties.

 

The terms of any loan that we may enter into may preclude us from pre-paying the principal amount of the loan or could restrict us from selling or otherwise disposing of or refinancing properties. For example, lock-out provisions may prohibit us from reducing the outstanding indebtedness secured by any of our properties, refinancing this indebtedness on a non-recourse basis at maturity, or increasing the amount of indebtedness secured by our properties. Lock-out provisions could impair our ability to take other actions during the lock-out period. In particular, lock-out provisions could preclude us from participating in major transactions that could result in a disposition of our assets or a change in control even though that disposition or change in control might be in the best interests of our stockholders.

Table of Contents

 

To hedge against interest rate fluctuations, we may use derivative financial instruments that may be costly and ineffective.

 

From time to time, we may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets. Derivative instruments may include interest rate swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, options or repurchase agreements. Our actual hedging decisions will be determined in light of the facts and circumstances existing at the time of the hedge and may differ from our currently anticipated hedging strategy.  There is no assurance that our hedging strategy will achieve our objectives.  We may be subject to costs, such as transaction fees or breakage costs, if we terminate these arrangements.

 

To the extent that we use derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate fluctuations, we will be exposed to credit risk, basis risk and legal enforceability risks. In this context, credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. Basis risk occurs when the index upon which the contract is based is more or less variable than the index upon which the hedged asset or liability is based, thereby making the hedge less effective. Finally, legal enforceability risks encompass general contractual risks including the risk that the counterparty will breach the terms of, or fail to perform its obligations under, the derivative contract.  As a result of the global credit crisis, there is a risk that counterparties could fail, shut down, file for bankruptcy or be unable to pay out contracts. The failure of a counterparty that holds collateral that we post in connection with an interest rate swap agreement could result in the loss of that collateral.

 

We may be contractually obligated to purchase property even if we are unable to secure financing for the acquisition.

 

We expect to finance a portion of the purchase price for each property that we acquire. However, to ensure that our offers are as competitive as possible, we do not expect to enter into contracts to purchase property that include financing contingencies. Thus, we may be contractually obligated to purchase a property even if we are unable to secure financing for the acquisition. In this event, we may choose to close on the property by using cash on hand, which would result in less cash available for our operations and distributions to stockholders. Alternatively, we may choose not to close on the acquisition of the property and default on the purchase contract. If we default on any purchase contract, we could lose our earnest money and become subject to liquidated or other contractual damages and remedies.

 

The total amount we may borrow is limited by our charter.

 

Our charter generally limits the total amount we may borrow to 300% of our net assets, equivalent to 75% of the cost of our assets, unless our board of directors (including a majority of our independent directors) determines that a higher level is appropriate and the excess in borrowing is disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report along with the justification for the excess. This limit could adversely affect our business, including:

 

·              limiting our ability to purchase real estate assets;

 

·              causing us to lose our REIT status if we cannot borrow to fund the monies needed to satisfy the REIT distribution requirements;

 

·              causing operational problems if there are cash flow shortfalls for working capital purposes; and

·              causing the loss of a property if, for example, financing is necessary to cure a default on a mortgage.

 

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

 

IREIC may face a conflict of interest in allocating personnel and resources between its affiliates, our Business Manager and our Real Estate Managers.

 

We do not have any employees and will rely on persons performing services for our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers and their affiliates to manage our day-to-day operations. Some of these persons, including but not limited to Mr. Goodwin, Ms. McGuinness, Ms. Matlin, Mr. Lichterman, Ms. Hrtanek, Mr. Sajdak and Ms. McNeeley, also provide services to one or more investment programs previously sponsored by IREIC. These individuals face competing demands for their time and service, and will be required to allocate their time between our business and assets and the business and assets of IREIC, its affiliates and the other programs formed and organized by IREIC.  Certain of these individuals have fiduciary duties to both us and our stockholders.  If these persons are unable to devote sufficient time or resources to our business due to the competing demands of the other programs, they may violate their fiduciary duties to us and our stockholders, which could harm the implementation of our investment strategy.  If we do not successfully implement our investment strategy, we may be unable to maintain or increase the value of our assets, and our operating cash flows and ability to pay distributions could be adversely affected.

 

In addition, if another investment program sponsored by IREIC decides to internalize its management functions in the future, it may do so by hiring and retaining certain of the persons currently performing services for our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers, and if it did so, would likely not allow these persons to perform services for us.

 

We do not have arm’s-length agreements with our Business Manager, our Real Estate Managers or any other affiliates of IREIC.

 

The agreements and arrangements with our Business Manager, our Real Estate Managers and any other affiliates of IREIC were not negotiated at arm’s-length.  These agreements may contain terms and conditions that are not in our best interest or would not be present if we entered into arm’s length agreements with third parties.

 

Our Business Manager and its affiliates will face conflicts of interest caused by their compensation arrangements with us, which could result in actions that are not in the long-term best interests of our stockholders.

 

We will pay significant fees to our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and other affiliates of IREIC for services provided to us.  Our Business Manager will receive fees based on the aggregate book value, including acquired intangibles, of our invested assets and the contract purchase price of our assets.  Further, our Real Estate Managers will receive fees based on the gross income from properties under management and may also receive market-based leasing and construction management fees.  Other parties related to, or affiliated with, our Business Manager or Real Estate Managers, including Inland Securities Corporation, may also receive fees or cost reimbursements from us.  These compensation arrangements may cause these entities to take or not take certain actions.  For example, these arrangements may provide an incentive for our Business Manager to: (1) borrow more money than prudent to increase the amount we can invest; or (2) retain instead of sell assets, even if our stockholders may be better served by sale or other disposition of the assets.  Further, the fact that we will pay the Business Manager an acquisition fee based on the contract purchase price of an asset may cause our

 

56


 

Table of Contents

 

Business Manager to negotiate a higher price for an asset than we otherwise would, or to purchase assets that may not otherwise be in our best interests.  Ultimately, the interests of these parties in receiving fees may conflict with the interest of our stockholders in earning income on their investment in our common stock.

 

We will rely on entities affiliated with IREIC to identify real estate assets.

 

We will rely, in part, on IREA and other affiliates of IREIC to identify suitable investment opportunities for us.  Other public or private programs sponsored by IREIC or IPCC, including IRC, Inland American and Inland Diversified, also rely on these entities to identify potential investments.  These entities have, in some cases, rights of first refusal or other pre-emptive rights to the properties that IREA identifies.  Our right to acquire properties identified by IREA will be subject to the exercise of any prior rights vested in these entities.  We may not, therefore, be presented with opportunities to acquire properties that we otherwise would be interested in acquiring.  See “Conflicts of Interest — Allocation of Investment Opportunities” for additional discussion regarding the rights vested in other IREIC-sponsored entities.

 

Our properties may compete with the properties owned by other programs previously sponsored by IREIC or IPCC.

 

Certain IREIC- or IPCC-sponsored programs own and manage the type of properties that we intend to own, including in the same geographical areas. Therefore, our properties, especially those located in the same geographical area, may compete for tenants or purchasers with other properties owned and managed by other IREIC- or IPCC-sponsored programs. Persons performing services for our Real Estate Managers may face conflicts of interest when evaluating tenant leasing opportunities for our properties and other properties owned and managed by IREIC- or IPCC-sponsored programs, and these conflicts of interest may have an adverse impact on our ability to attract and retain tenants.  In addition, a conflict could arise in connection with the resale of properties in the event that we and another IREIC- or IPCC-sponsored program were to attempt to sell similar properties at the same time, including in particular in the event another IREIC- or IPCC-sponsored program engages in a liquidity event at approximately the same time as us, thus impacting our ability to sell the property or complete a proposed liquidity event.

 

Inland Securities Corporation, the dealer manager of this offering, is an affiliate of IREIC.

 

Inland Securities Corporation is an affiliate of IREIC and is not, therefore, independent. Thus, investors will not have the benefit of an independent due diligence review and investigation of the type normally performed by unaffiliated, independent underwriters in securities offerings. Further, the agreement with Inland Securities, including fees and expenses payable thereunder, was not negotiated at arm’s length.

 

We have the same legal counsel as our dealer manager and certain of its affiliates.

 

Our legal counsel also serves as the legal counsel to Inland Securities Corporation and from time to time other entities that are affiliated with our sponsor. Under applicable legal ethics rules, our counsel may be precluded from representing us due to a conflict of interest between us and our dealer manager or any of those other entities. If any situation arises in which our interests are in conflict with those of our dealer manager or its affiliates, we would be required to retain additional counsel and may incur additional fees and expenses.

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure

 

Our rights, and the rights of our stockholders, to recover claims against our officers, directors, Business Manager and Real Estate Managers are limited.

 

Under our charter, no director or officer will be liable to us or to any stockholder for money damages to the extent that Maryland law permits the limitation of the liability of directors and officers of a corporation.  We may generally indemnify our directors, officers, employees, Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and their respective affiliates for any losses or liabilities suffered by any of them as long as: (1) the directors have determined in good faith that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in our best interest; (2) these persons or entities were acting on our behalf or performing services for us; (3) the loss or liability was not the result of the negligence or misconduct of the directors (gross negligence or willful misconduct of the independent directors), officers, employees, Business Manager, the Real Estate Managers or their respective affiliates; or (4) the indemnity or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of our net assets and not from our stockholders.  As a result, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors, officers and employees, our Business Manager, the Real Estate Managers and their respective affiliates, than might otherwise exist under common law.  In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our directors, officers and employees or our Business Manager and the Real Estate Managers and their respective affiliates in some cases.

 

Our board of directors may, in the future, adopt certain measures under Maryland law without stockholder approval that may have the effect of making it less likely that a stockholder would receive a “control premium” for his or her shares.

 

Corporations organized under Maryland law with a class of registered securities and at least three independent directors are permitted to protect themselves from unsolicited proposals or offers to acquire the company by electing to be subject, by a charter or bylaw provision or a board of directors resolution and notwithstanding any contrary charter or bylaw provision, to any or all of five provisions:

 

·              staggering the board of directors into three classes;

 

·              requiring a two-thirds vote of stockholders to remove directors;

 

·              providing that only the board can fix the size of the board;

 

·              providing that all vacancies on the board, regardless of how the vacancy was created, may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors in office and for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred; and

 

·              requiring that special stockholders meetings be called only by holders of shares entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting.

 

These provisions may discourage an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, all of which might provide a premium price for stockholders’ shares.  Our charter does not prohibit our board from opting into any of the above provisions.

 

Further, under the Maryland Business Combination Act, we may not engage in any merger or other business combination with an “interested stockholder” or any affiliate of that interested stockholder for a period of five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder became an

 

58


 

Table of Contents

 

interested stockholder. After the five-year period ends, any merger or other business combination with the interested stockholder must be recommended by our board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:

 

·              80% of all votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of our voting stock; and

 

·              two-thirds of all of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of our voting stock other than those shares owned or held by the interested stockholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder unless, among other things, our stockholders receive a minimum payment for their common stock equal to the highest price paid by the interested stockholder for its common stock.

 

Our directors have adopted a resolution exempting any business combination involving us and The Inland Group or any affiliate of The Inland Group, including our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers, from the provisions of this law.

 

Our charter places limits on the amount of common stock that any person may own without the prior approval of our board of directors.

 

No more than 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock may be beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of each taxable year (other than the first taxable year for which an election to be a REIT has been made). Our charter prohibits any persons or groups from owning more than 9.8% in value of our outstanding stock or more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding common stock without the prior approval of our board of directors. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock. Further, any person or group attempting to purchase shares exceeding these limits could be compelled to sell the additional shares and, as a result, to forfeit the benefits of owning the additional shares.

 

Our charter permits our board of directors to issue preferred stock on terms that may subordinate the rights of the holders of our current common stock or discourage a third party from acquiring us.

 

Our board of directors is permitted, subject to certain restrictions set forth in our charter, to issue up to 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval. Further, our board may classify or reclassify any unissued shares of common or preferred stock and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications, and terms or conditions of redemption of the stock and may amend our charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares or the number of shares of any class or series that we have authority to issue without stockholder approval. Thus, our board of directors could authorize us to issue shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions that could subordinate the rights of the holders of our common stock or have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, that might provide a premium price for holders of our common stock.

Maryland law limits, in some cases, the ability of a third party to vote shares acquired in a “control share acquisition.”

 

The Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act provides that “control shares” of a Maryland corporation acquired in a “control share acquisition” have no voting rights except to the extent approved by stockholders by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Shares of stock owned by the acquirer, by officers or by employees who are directors of the corporation, are excluded from shares entitled to vote on the matter. “Control shares” are voting shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other shares of stock owned by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer can exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within specified ranges of voting power. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. A “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of issued and outstanding control shares. The control share acquisition statute does not apply: (1) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the Maryland corporation is a party to the transaction; or (2) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the Maryland corporation. Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Control Share Acquisition Act any and all acquisitions of our stock by any person. There can be no assurance that this provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future.  For a more detailed discussion on the Maryland laws governing control share acquisitions, see “Description of Securities — Certain Provisions of Maryland Corporate Law and Our Charter and Bylaws — Control Share Acquisition.”

 

Federal Income Tax Risks

 

If we fail to qualify as a REIT, our operations and distributions to stockholders will be adversely affected.

 

In connection with this offering, Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. has rendered an opinion to us that we will be organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for our taxable year ending December 31, 2012 or our first year of material operations and that our proposed method of operations, as described in this prospectus, will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ending December 31, 2012 or our first year of material operations.  In providing its opinion, Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. has relied, as to certain factual matters, upon the statements and representations contained in certificates provided by us.  These certificates include representations regarding the manner in which we are and will be owned, the nature of our assets and the past, present and future conduct of our operations.  Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. has not independently verified, and will not verify, these facts.  Moreover, our qualification for taxation as a REIT depends on our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, the results of which have not been, and will not be, reviewed by Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the actual results of our operations for any one taxable year will satisfy these requirements. Moreover, an opinion of counsel is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, and we cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service will not successfully challenge our status as a REIT.  Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex rules related to, among other things, the composition of our assets, the income generated by those assets and distributions paid to our stockholders. There are limited judicial or administrative interpretations regarding these rules. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT. In addition, new legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could significantly change the tax laws with respect to qualifying as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of qualification.

Table of Contents

 

If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT, without the benefit of certain relief provisions, in any taxable year:

 

·              we would not be allowed to deduct distributions paid to stockholders when computing our taxable income;

 

·              we would be subject to federal (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and state income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates;

 

·              we would be disqualified from being taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we failed to qualify, unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions;

 

·              we would have less cash to pay distributions to stockholders; and

 

·              we may be required to borrow additional funds or sell some of our assets in order to pay corporate tax obligations we may incur as a result of being disqualified.

 

In addition, if we were to fail to qualify as a REIT, we would not be required to pay distributions to stockholders, and all distributions to stockholders that we did pay would be subject to tax as regular corporate dividends to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits.  This means that, under current law, which is subject to change, our U.S. stockholders who are taxed as individuals would be taxed on our dividends at long-term capital gains rates through 2012 and that our corporate stockholders would be entitled to the dividends received deduction with respect to such dividends, subject, in each case, to applicable limitations under the Code.

 

The taxation of distributions to our stockholders can be complex; however, distributions that we make to our stockholders generally will be taxable as ordinary income.

 

Distributions that we make to our taxable stockholders out of current and accumulated earnings and profits (and not designated as capital gain dividends, or, for tax years beginning before January 1, 2013, qualified dividend income) generally will be taxable as ordinary income. However, a portion of our distributions may: (1) be designated by us as capital gain dividends generally taxable as long-term capital gain to the extent that they are attributable to net capital gain recognized by us; (2) be designated by us, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013, as qualified dividend income generally to the extent they are attributable to dividends we receive from any taxable REIT subsidiaries or certain other corporations in which we own shares of stock; or (3) constitute a return of capital generally to the extent that they exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A return of capital is not taxable, but has the effect of reducing the basis of a stockholder’s investment in our common stock.  Distributions that exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits and a stockholder’s basis in our common stock generally will be taxable as capital gain.

 

If we fail to invest a sufficient amount of the net proceeds from this offering in real estate assets within one year from the receipt of the proceeds, we could fail to qualify as a REIT.

 

Temporary investment of the net proceeds from this offering in securities and income from these investments generally will allow us to satisfy various REIT income and asset requirements, but only during the one-year period beginning on the date we receive the net proceeds. In order to satisfy these requirements, we may invest in one or more assets on terms and conditions that are not otherwise favorable to us, which ultimately could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.  Alternatively, if we are unable to invest a sufficient amount of the net proceeds from

 

61


 

Table of Contents

 

sales of our stock in qualifying real estate assets within the one-year period, we could fail to satisfy one or more of the gross income or asset tests and we could be limited to investing all or a portion of any remaining funds in cash or certain cash equivalents. If we fail to satisfy any such income or asset test, unless we are entitled to relief under certain provisions of the Code, we could fail to qualify as a REIT.

 

To maintain our REIT status, we may be forced to borrow funds during unfavorable market conditions to make distributions to our stockholders.

 

To qualify as a REIT, we must distribute to our stockholders each year 90% of our taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gain. At times, we may not have sufficient funds to satisfy these distribution requirements and may need to borrow funds to make these distributions and maintain our REIT status and avoid the payment of income and excise taxes. These borrowing needs could result from: (1) differences in timing between the actual receipt of cash and inclusion of income for federal income tax purposes; (2) the effect of non-deductible capital expenditures; (3) the creation of reserves; or (4) required debt amortization payments. We may need to borrow funds at times when market conditions are unfavorable. Further, if we are unable to borrow funds when needed for this purpose, we would have to find alternative sources of funding or risk losing our status as a REIT.

 

If we were considered to actually or constructively pay a “preferential dividend” to certain of our stockholders, our status as a REIT could be adversely affected.

 

The requirement that we annually distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, is determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain. In order for distributions to be counted as satisfying the annual distribution requirements for REITs, and to provide us with a REIT-level tax deduction, the distributions must not be “preferential dividends.” A dividend is not a preferential dividend if the distribution is pro rata among all outstanding shares of stock within a particular class, and in accordance with the preferences among different classes of stock as set forth in our organizational documents.  Guidance from the Internal Revenue Service generally permits a discount in the price paid for stock purchased under a distribution reinvestment plan of up to 5% of the value of the stock without creating a preferential dividend. Currently, however, there is uncertainty as to the Internal Revenue Service’s position regarding whether certain arrangements that REITs have with their stockholders could give rise to the inadvertent payment of a preferential dividend (e.g., the pricing methodology for stock purchased under a distribution reinvestment plan inadvertently causing a greater than 5% discount on the price of such stock purchased). There is no de minimis exception with respect to preferential dividends; therefore, if the Internal Revenue Service were to take the position that we inadvertently paid a preferential dividend, we may be deemed to have failed the 90% distribution requirement, and our status as a REIT could be terminated for the year in which such determination is made if we were unable to cure such failure.

 

Certain of our business activities are potentially subject to the prohibited transaction tax.

 

Our ability to dispose of property during the first two years following acquisition is restricted to a substantial extent as a result of our REIT status. Under applicable provisions of the Code regarding prohibited transactions by REITs, we will be subject to a 100% tax on any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of any property (other than foreclosure property) we own, directly or through any wholly owned subsidiary (or entity in which we are treated as a partner), excluding our taxable REIT subsidiaries, that is deemed to be inventory or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of trade or business. Determining whether property is inventory or otherwise held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business depends on the particular facts and circumstances surrounding each property. We cannot provide assurance that any particular property we own, directly or through any wholly owned subsidiary (or entity in which we are treated as a partner),

 

62


 

Table of Contents

 

excluding our taxable REIT subsidiaries, will not be treated as inventory or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business.  The Code includes a safe harbor provision that treats a sale of property as not constituting a prohibited transaction, the income from which would be subject to the 100% tax, if certain requirements are met; however there is no assurance that we will be able to qualify for the safe harbor.  Even if we do not hold property for sale in the ordinary course of a trade or business, there is no assurance that our position will not be challenged by the Internal Revenue Service, especially if we make frequent sales or sales of property in which we have short holding periods.

 

Certain fees paid to us may affect our REIT status.

 

Income received in the nature of rental subsidies or rent guarantees, in some cases, may not qualify as rental income from real estate and could be characterized by the Internal Revenue Service as non-qualifying income for purposes of satisfying the 75% and 95% gross income tests required for REIT qualification. If the aggregate of non-qualifying income under the 95% gross income test in any taxable year ever exceeded 5% of our gross revenues for the taxable year or non-qualifying income under the 75% gross income test in any taxable year ever exceeded 25% of our gross revenues for the taxable year, we could lose our REIT status for that taxable year and the four taxable years following the year of losing our REIT status.

 

Complying with the REIT requirements may force us to liquidate otherwise attractive investments.

 

To qualify as a REIT, we must ensure that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, certain government securities and qualified real estate assets, including shares of stock in other REITs, certain mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. The remainder of our investment in securities (other than qualified government securities, qualified real estate assets and taxable REIT subsidiaries) generally cannot include more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our assets (other than qualified government securities, qualified real estate assets and taxable REIT subsidiaries) can consist of the securities of any one issuer, and no more than 25% of the value of our total assets may be securities (including securities issued by our taxable REIT subsidiaries), excluding government securities, stock issued by our qualified REIT subsidiaries and other securities that qualify as REIT real estate assets. In order to meet these tests, we may be required to forego investments we might otherwise make. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our performance.

 

If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct the failure within thirty days after the end of the calendar quarter, or otherwise qualify to cure the failure under a relief provision, to avoid losing our REIT status and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be required to liquidate otherwise attractive investments.

 

Recharacterization of sale-leaseback transactions may cause us to lose our REIT status.

 

If we enter into sale-leaseback transactions, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to structure any such sale-leaseback transaction such that the lease will be characterized as a “true lease” for tax purposes, thereby allowing us to be treated as the owner of the property for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, we cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge such characterization. In the event that any such sale-leaseback transaction is challenged and recharacterized as a financing transaction or loan for U.S. federal income tax purposes, deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to such property would be disallowed. If a sale-leaseback transaction were so recharacterized, we could fail to satisfy the REIT qualification “asset tests” or “income tests.”

 

63


 

Table of Contents

 

Alternatively, the amount of our REIT taxable income could be recalculated which could also cause us to fail to meet the distribution requirement for a taxable year.  Failure to satisfy “asset tests,” “income tests” or the distribution requirement could cause us to lose our REIT status effective with the year of recharacterization, subject to certain cure provisions in the Code (which could require payment of a penalty to the Internal Revenue Service).

 

Our ability to dispose of some of our properties may be constrained by their tax attributes.

 

Federal tax laws may limit our ability to sell properties and this may affect our ability to sell properties without adversely affecting returns to our stockholders. These restrictions may reduce our ability to respond to changes in the performance of our investments.

 

Our ability to dispose of some of our properties is constrained by their tax attributes. A property which we own for a significant period of time may have a low tax basis. If we dispose of low-basis properties outright in taxable transactions, we may recognize a significant amount of taxable gain that we must distribute to our stockholders in order to avoid tax, and potentially if the gain does not qualify as a net capital gain, in order to meet the minimum distribution requirements of the Code for REITs, which in turn would impact our cash flow. To dispose of low basis or tax-protected properties efficiently we may use like-kind exchanges, which qualify for non-recognition of taxable gain, but can be difficult to consummate and result in the property for which the disposed assets are exchanged inheriting their low tax bases and other tax attributes (including tax protection covenants).

 

You may have tax liability on distributions that you elect to reinvest in our common stock.

 

If you participate in our distribution reinvestment plan, you will be deemed to have received, and for income tax purposes will be taxed on, the fair market value of the share of our common stock that you receive in lieu of cash distributions. As a result, unless you are a tax-exempt entity, you will have to use funds from other sources to pay your tax liability.

 

In certain circumstances, we may be subject to federal, state and local income taxes as a REIT.

 

Even if we qualify and maintain our status as a REIT, we may become subject to federal, state and local income taxes.  For example:

 

·             We will be subject to tax on any undistributed income.  We also will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions we pay in any calendar year plus amounts retained for which federal income tax was paid are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years.

 

·              If we have net income from the sale of foreclosure property that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business or other non-qualifying income from foreclosure property, we must pay a tax on that income at the highest corporate income tax rate.

 

·              If we sell a property, other than foreclosure property, that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, our gain would be subject to the 100% “prohibited transaction” tax.

 

64


 

Table of Contents

 

·              We will be subject to a 100% penalty tax on certain amounts if the economic arrangements of our tenants, our taxable REIT subsidiaries and us are not comparable to similar arrangements among unrelated parties.

 

Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively.

 

The REIT provisions of the Code may limit our ability to hedge the risks inherent to our operations. Under current law, any income that we generate from derivatives or other transactions intended to hedge our interest rate risk with respect to borrowings to be made to acquire or carry real estate assets generally will not constitute gross income for purposes of the 75% and 95% income requirements applicable to REITs.  In addition, any income from certain other qualified hedging transactions would generally not constitute gross income for purposes of both the 75% and 95% income tests.  However, we may have to limit the use of hedging techniques that might otherwise be advantageous, which could result in greater risks associated with interest rate or other changes than we would otherwise incur.

 

Legislative or regulatory action could adversely affect investors.

 

Changes to the tax laws are likely to occur, and these changes may adversely affect the taxation of a stockholder. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our shares or on the market value or the resale potential of our assets. You are encouraged to consult with your own tax advisor with respect to the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our shares.  You also should note that our counsel’s tax opinion is based upon existing law and Treasury Regulations, applicable as of the date of its opinion, all of which are subject to change, either prospectively or retroactively.

 

The maximum tax rate on qualified dividends paid by corporations to individuals is 15% through 2012. REIT dividends, however, generally do not constitute qualified dividends and consequently are not eligible for the current reduced tax rates. Therefore, our stockholders will pay federal income tax on distributions out of our current and accumulated earnings and profits (excluding distributions of amounts either subject to corporate-level taxation or designated as a capital gain dividend) at the applicable “ordinary income” rate, the maximum of which is 35% through 2012.  However, as a REIT, we generally would not be subject to federal or state corporate income taxes on that portion of our ordinary income or capital gain that we distribute currently to our stockholders, and we thus expect to avoid the “double taxation” to which other corporations are typically subject.

 

Future legislation might result in a REIT having fewer tax advantages, and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to be taxed, for federal income tax purposes, as a corporation. As a result, our charter provides our board of directors with the power, under certain circumstances, to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election and cause us to be taxed as a corporation, without the vote of our stockholders. Our board of directors has fiduciary duties to us and our stockholders and could only cause changes in our tax treatment if it determines in good faith that such changes are in the best interest of our stockholders.

 

Retirement Plan Risks

 

Investors subject to ERISA must address special considerations when determining whether to acquire our common stock.

 

Fiduciaries of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or “ERISA,” should consider whether investing in

 

65


 

Table of Contents

 

our common stock: is subject to the “plan assets” rules under ERISA and the Code; satisfies the fiduciary standards of care established under ERISA; is subject to the unrelated business taxation rules under Section 511 of the Code; and constitutes a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code.

 

We intend to satisfy the “real estate operating company” exception to the plan assets regulations promulgated pursuant to ERISA. Consequently, our assets should not be treated as plan assets of an investing plan subject to ERISA. We cannot assure you, however, that this exception will apply to our assets and, if not, our assets may be treated as plan assets of an investing plan subject to ERISA. Failure to satisfy the fiduciary standards of conduct and other applicable requirements of ERISA and the Code may result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties and could subject the fiduciary to equitable remedies. In addition, if an investment in our shares constitutes a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code, the fiduciary that authorized or directed the investment may be subject to the imposition of excise taxes with respect to the amount invested.

COMPENSATION TABLE

 

The following tables describe the compensation we expect to pay to affiliates of IREIC such as Inland Securities, our Business Manager and our Real Estate Managers and their respective affiliates. We also will reimburse these entities for expenses incurred in performing services on our behalf. In those instances in which there are maximum amounts or ceilings on the compensation that may be received, excess amounts may not be recovered by reclassifying them under a different compensation or fee category.  Our independent directors will determine, from time to time but at least annually, that our total fees and expenses are reasonable in light of our investment performance, net assets, net income, and the fees and expenses of other comparable unaffiliated REITs.  Each determination will be reflected in the minutes of our board of directors meetings.

Itemized and Detailed Due Diligence Expenses — Inland Securities Corporation and Participating Soliciting Dealers (1)(3)   We will reimburse Inland Securities and participating soliciting dealers for bona fide out-of-pocket, itemized and detailed due diligence expenses incurred by these entities, in an amount up to 0.5% of the gross offering proceeds from shares sold in the “best efforts” offering.  These expenses will be reimbursed from amounts paid or reallowed (paid) to these entities as a marketing contribution, and thus there will be no additional costs to us.    $10,000 / $7,500,000

Acquisition Fees — our Business Manager  

We will pay our Business Manager or its affiliates a fee equal to 1.5% of the “contract purchase price” of each real estate asset (excluding marketable securities) we acquire, including any incremental interest therein, including by way of exchanging a debt interest for an equity interest (excluding the contribution of an asset owned, directly or indirectly, by us to a joint venture) or developing, constructing, renovating, or otherwise physically improving an asset, including but not limited to major tenant upgrades, whether pursuant to allowances, concessions or rent abatements provided for at the time the asset is acquired.  In the case of an asset acquired through a joint venture, the acquisition fee payable will be proportionate to our ownership interest in the venture.

 

For the purpose of calculating acquisition fees, the “contract purchase price” will be equal to the amount of monies or other consideration paid or contributed by us either to acquire, directly or indirectly, any real estate asset or an incremental interest in the real estate asset, and including, without duplication, any indebtedness for money borrowed to finance the purchase, indebtedness secured by the real estate asset, which is assumed, or indebtedness that is refinanced or restructured, all in connection with the acquisition, and which is or will be secured by the asset at the time of the acquisition or to develop, construct, renovate or otherwise improve that real estate asset. The contract purchase price will exclude acquisition fees and acquisition expenses.

 

If the business management agreement is terminated, including in connection with the internalization of the functions performed by our Business Manager, the obligation to pay this fee will terminate.

Acquisition Expenses — our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and their Affiliates

 

 

We will reimburse our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and entities affiliated with each of them, including IREA and its respective affiliates, as well as third parties, for any investment-related expenses they pay in connection with selecting, evaluating or acquiring any investment in real estate assets, regardless of whether we acquire a particular real estate asset, subject to the limits in our charter.  Examples of reimbursable expenses include but are not limited to legal fees and expenses, travel and communications expenses, costs of appraisals, accounting fees and expenses, third-party broker or finder’s fees, title insurance expenses, survey expenses, property inspection expenses and other closing costs.  We will not reimburse acquisition expenses in connection with an investment in marketable securities, except that we may reimburse expenses incurred on our behalf and payable to a third party, such as third-party brokerage commissions.

 

We expect that acquisition expenses will be equal to approximately 0.5% of the contract purchase price of each real estate asset (excluding marketable securities) acquired.  This amount was estimated by us, for illustrative purposes, based on the prior experience of IREIC, our sponsor, in connection with five other REITs it has sponsored.  The actual amount of acquisition expenses cannot be determined at the present time and will depend on numerous factors including the aggregate purchase price paid to acquire each real estate asset, the aggregate amount borrowed, if any, to acquire each real estate asset and the number of real estate assets acquired.

bookkeeping and accounting functions, consulting with our board, overseeing our assets and providing other services as our board deems appropriate.  “Average invested assets” means, for any period, the average of the aggregate book value of our assets, including all intangibles and goodwill, invested, directly or indirectly, in equity interests in, and loans secured by, properties, as well as amounts invested in securities and consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures or other partnerships, before reserves for amortization and depreciation or bad debts, impairments or other similar non-cash reserves, computed by taking the average of these values at the end of each month during the relevant calendar quarter.

 

Separate and distinct from any business management fees, we also will reimburse our Business Manager or any affiliate for all expenses that it, or any affiliate including IREIC, pays or incurs on our behalf including the salaries and benefits of persons performing services for Business Manager or its affiliates on our behalf for us, except for the salaries and benefits of persons who also serve as one of our executive officers or as an executive officer of our Business Manager or its affiliates.  For these purposes, secretary will not be considered an “executive officer.”

 

If the business management agreement is terminated, including in connection with the internalization of the functions performed by our Business Manager, the obligation to pay this fee and reimburse these expenses will terminate.

   
         
Real Estate Management Fees, Leasing Fees and Construction Management Fees — our Real Estate Managers   We will pay the Real Estate Managers a monthly management fee of up to 1.9% of the gross income from any single-tenant, net-leased property managed directly by the Real Estate Managers or their affiliates, and up to 3.9% of the gross income from any other type of property managed directly by the Real Estate Managers or their affiliates.  Each Real Estate Manager will determine, in its sole discretion, the amount of the fee payable in connection with a particular property, subject to these limits.  For each property that is managed directly by one of our Real Estate Managers or its affiliates, we will pay the Real Estate Manager a separate leasing fee based upon prevailing market rates applicable to the geographic market of that property.  If we engage our Real Estate Managers to provide construction management services for a property, we also will pay a separate construction management fee in an amount that is usual and customary for comparable services rendered to similar   The actual amount will depend on the gross income, as defined in our management agreements, generated by properties managed by our Real Estate Managers and its affiliates, and cannot be determined at the present time.

Expense Reimbursement — IREIC, our Business Manager and their Affiliates  

We will reimburse IREIC, our Business Manager and their respective affiliates, including the service providers, for any expenses that they pay or incur on our behalf in providing services to us, including all expenses and the costs of salaries and benefits of persons performing services for these entities on our behalf (except for the salaries and benefits of persons who also serve as one of our executive officers or as an executive officer of our Business Manager or its affiliates). Expenses include, but are not limited to: expenses incurred in connection with any sale of assets or any contribution of assets to a joint venture; expenses incurred in connection with any liquidity event; taxes and assessments on income or real property and taxes; premiums and other associated fees for insurance policies including director and officer liability insurance; expenses associated with investor communications including the cost of preparing, printing and mailing annual reports, proxy statements and other reports required by governmental entities; administrative service expenses charged to, or for the benefit of, us by third parties; audit, accounting and legal fees charged to, or for the benefit of, us by third parties; transfer agent and registrar’s fees and charges paid to third parties; and expenses relating to any offices or office facilities maintained solely for our benefit that are separate and distinct from our executive offices.  See “Management — The Business Management Agreement — Service Provider Agreements” for a description of how we may reimburse these service providers.

 

We also will reimburse our Business Manager and its affiliates for costs and expenses our Business Manager incurs in connection with an internalization that occurs pursuant to the process set forth in our business management agreement.

 

The actual amount will depend on the services provided and the method by which reimbursement rates are calculated.  Actual amounts cannot be determined at the present time.

Real Estate Sales Commission — our Business Manager  

For substantial assistance in connection with the sale of properties, we will pay our Business Manager or its affiliates a real estate sales commission equal to up to one-half of the customary commission which would be paid to a third party broker for the sale of a comparable property, provided that the amount may not exceed 1% of the contract price of the property sold and, when added to all other real estate commissions paid to unaffiliated parties in connection with a sale, may not exceed the lesser of a competitive real estate commission or 3% of the sales price of the property. Substantial assistance in connection with the sale of a property includes the preparation of an investment package for the property (including a new investment analysis, rent rolls, tenant information regarding credit, a property title report, an environmental report, a structural report and exhibits) or other substantial services performed by in connection with a sale.

 

If the business management agreement is terminated, including in connection with the internalization of the functions performed by our Business Manager, the obligation to pay these commissions will terminate.

 

The actual amounts to be received will depend upon the contract sales price of our properties and the customary commissions paid to third party brokers and, therefore, cannot be determined at the present time.

 

         
Subordinated Incentive Fee — our Business Manager  

Upon a “triggering event,” we will pay our Business Manager a fee equal to 10% of the amount by which: (1) the “liquidity amount” (as defined below) exceeds (2) the “aggregate invested capital,” less any distributions of net sales or financing proceeds, plus the total distributions required to be paid to our stockholders in order to pay them a 7% per annum cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded return on aggregate invested capital, all measured as of the triggering event. If we have not satisfied this return threshold, at the time of the applicable triggering event, the fee will be paid at the time that we have satisfied the return requirements.

 

As used herein, a “triggering event” means any sale of assets (excluding the sale of marketable securities), in which the net sales proceeds are specifically identified and distributed to our stockholders, or any liquidity event, such as a listing or any merger, reorganization, business combination, share exchange or acquisition, in which our stockholders receive cash or the securities of another issuer that are listed on a

national securities exchange.  “Aggregate invested capital” means the aggregate original issue price paid for the shares of our common stock, before reduction for organization and offering expenses, reduced by any distribution of sale or financing proceeds.

 

For purposes of this subordinated incentive fee, the “liquidity amount” will be calculated as follows:

 

·             In the case of the sale of our assets, the net sales proceeds realized by us from the sale of assets since inception and distributed to stockholders, in the aggregate, plus the total amount of any other distributions paid by us from inception until the date that the liquidity amount is determined.

 

·             In the case of a listing or any merger, reorganization, business combination, share exchange, acquisition or other similar transaction in which our stockholders receive cash or the securities of another issuer that are listed on a national securities exchange, as full or partial consideration for their shares, the “market value” of the shares, plus the total distributions paid by us from inception until the date that the liquidity amount is determined.  “Market value” means the value determined as follows: (1) in the case of the listing of our shares, or the common stock of our subsidiary, on a national securities exchange, by taking the average closing price over the period of thirty consecutive trading days during which our shares, or the shares of the common stock of our subsidiary, as applicable, are eligible for trading, beginning on the 180th day after the applicable listing, multiplied by the number of our shares, or the shares of the common stock of our subsidiary, as applicable, outstanding on the date of measurement; or (2) in the case of the receipt by our stockholders of securities of another entity that are trading on a national securities exchange prior to, or that become listed concurrent with, the consummation of the liquidity event, as follows: (a) in the case of shares trading before consummation of the liquidity event, the value ascribed to the shares in the transaction giving rise to the liquidity event, multiplied by the number of those securities issued to our stockholders in respect of the transaction; and (b) in the case of shares which become listed concurrent with the closing of the transaction giving rise to the liquidity event, the average

closing price over the period of thirty consecutive trading days during which the shares are eligible for trading, beginning on the 180th day after the applicable listing, multiplied by the number of those securities issued to our stockholders in respect of the transaction.  In addition, any distribution of cash consideration received by our stockholders in connection with any liquidity event will be added to the market value determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2).

 

If the business management agreement is terminated pursuant to an internalization in accordance with the transition process set forth in that agreement, the Business Manager, or its successor or designee, will continue to be entitled to receive the subordinated incentive fee, on a prorated basis based on the duration of the Business Manager’s service to us.  Specifically, in this case, the Business Manager, or its successor or designee, will be entitled to a fee equal to the product of: (1) the amount of the fee to which the Business Manager otherwise would have been entitled had the agreement not been terminated; and (2) the quotient of the number of days elapsed from the effective date of the agreement through the closing of the internalization, and the number of days elapsed from the effective date of the agreement through the date of the closing of the applicable triggering event.

   

 


(1)       In no event will the amount of underwriting compensation we pay to FINRA members, including selling commissions and the marketing contribution (which includes any due diligence expenses reimbursed from the marketing contribution), exceed FINRA’s 10% cap on underwriting compensation. All amounts deemed to be “underwriting compensation” by FINRA will be subject to FINRA’s 10% cap.  In connection with the minimum offering and FINRA’s 10% cap, our dealer manager will advance all the fixed expenses, including, but not limited to, wholesaling salaries, salaries of dual employees allocated to wholesaling activities, and other fixed expenses (including, but not limited to wholesaling expense reimbursements and the dealer manager’s legal costs associated with filing the offering with FINRA), that are required to be included within FINRA’s 10% cap to ensure that the aggregate underwriting compensation paid in connection with the offering does not exceed FINRA’s 10% cap. Also, our dealer manager will repay to the company any compensation over FINRA’s 10% cap if the offering is abruptly terminated after reaching the minimum amount, but before reaching the maximum amount, of offering proceeds.

 

(2)       Inland Securities or any of its or our directors, officers, employees or affiliates, or any family members of those individuals (including spouses, parents, grandparents, children and siblings), may purchase shares net of sales commissions and the marketing contribution for $9.00 per share.  Each soliciting dealer and their respective directors, officers, employees or affiliates may purchase shares net of selling commissions for $9.30 per share.

 

(3)      We will not pay selling commissions or the marketing contribution or reimburse due diligence expenses or issuer costs in connection with shares of common stock issued through our distribution reinvestment plan.

 

(4)       For any year in which we qualify as a REIT, our Business Manager must reimburse us for the amounts, if any, by which our total operating expenses paid during the previous fiscal year exceed the greater of: (i) 2% of our average invested assets for that fiscal year; or (ii) 25% of our net income for that fiscal year.  For these purposes, items such as organization and offering expenses,

property-level expenses (including any fees payable under our agreements with the Real Estate Managers), interest payments, taxes, non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortization, impairments and bad debt reserves, the incentive fee payable to our Business Manager, acquisition fees and expenses, commissions payable on the sale of properties and any other expenses incurred in connection with acquiring, disposing and owning real estate assets are excluded from the definition of total operating expenses.

 

We define “net income” as total revenues less expenses, other than additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and acquisition expenses to the extent not capitalized, and excluding any gain from the sale of our assets. This definition of net income is prescribed by the Statement of Policy Regarding REITs adopted by the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc., or “NASAA,” but is not in accordance with GAAP. Thus, our net income calculated in accordance with GAAP may be greater or less than our net income calculated under the NASAA guidelines.

ESTIMATED USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The amounts listed in the table below represent our best good faith estimate of the use of offering proceeds.  The estimates may not accurately reflect the actual receipt or application of the offering proceeds.  The first scenario assumes we sell the minimum of 200,000 shares in the “best efforts” portion of the offering at $10.00 per share.  The second scenario assumes we sell the maximum of 150,000,000 shares in the “best efforts” portion of the offering at $10.00 per share.  We have not given effect to any special sales or volume discounts which could reduce selling commissions but not the net offering proceeds we would realize from the sale, under either scenario.  In addition, we will not pay selling commissions, the marketing contribution or issuer costs in connection with shares of common stock issued through our distribution reinvestment plan.

(1) We will reimburse Inland Securities and participating soliciting dealers for bona fide out-of-pocket, itemized and detailed due diligence expenses incurred by these entities, in amounts up to 0.5% of the gross offering proceeds from shares sold in the “best efforts” offering. These expenses will be reimbursed from amounts paid or reallowed (paid) to these entities as a marketing contribution, and there will be no additional costs to us.
   
(2) Issuer costs will not exceed 1.5% of the gross offering proceeds. Issuer costs include amounts for SEC registration fees, FINRA filing fees, printing and mailing expenses, blue sky fees and expenses, legal fees and expenses, accounting fees and expenses, advertising and sales literature, transfer agent fees, data processing fees, bank fees and other administrative expenses of the offering.
   
(3) We have voluntarily limited our total organization and offering expenses to 11.5% of the gross offering proceeds.
   
(4) We will pay our Business Manager or its affiliates a fee equal to 1.5% of the contract purchase price of each real estate asset (excluding marketable securities) acquired. See “Compensation Table” for the definition of “contract purchase price.” If we sell the maximum amount of shares in our “best efforts” offering, we will pay acquisition fees equal to $43.4 million assuming aggregate borrowings equivalent to 55% of the total fair market value of our assets, consistent with our borrowing policy or $78.1 million assuming aggregate borrowings equivalent to 75% of the cost of our assets, which represents the limit set forth in our charter.
   
(5) For purposes of this table, we have assumed that we will fund acquisitions solely from net proceeds from the sale of shares in our “best efforts” offering; however, because the acquisition fees and expenses we will pay or reimburse to our Business Manager are a percentage of the contract purchase price of an investment, the acquisition fees or expenses will be greater than that shown to the extent we also fund acquisitions through the incurrence of debt at a rate greater than reflected, retained cash flow from operations, proceeds from the sale of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan or net proceeds from the sale of real estate assets.
   
(6) We expect that acquisition expenses will be equal to approximately 0.5% of the contract purchase price of each real estate asset (excluding marketable securities) acquired. This amount was estimated by us, for illustrative purposes, based on the prior experience of IREIC, our sponsor, in connection with five other REITs it has sponsored. The actual amount of acquisition expenses cannot be determined at the present time and will depend on numerous factors including the

  aggregate purchase price paid to acquire each real estate asset, the aggregate amount borrowed, if any, to acquire each real estate asset and the number of real estate assets acquired. If we sell the maximum amount of shares in our “best efforts” offering, we will reimburse acquisition expenses equal to $14.5 million assuming aggregate borrowings equivalent to 55% of the total fair market value of our assets, consistent with our borrowing policy, or $26.0 million assuming aggregate borrowings equivalent to 75% of the cost of our assets, which represents the limit set forth in our charter.
   
(7) Pending the acquisition of real estate assets, we may invest proceeds in cash and short-term, highly liquid investments. Further, we may use proceeds to fund certain capital expenditures approved at the time of acquisition and principal payments on our indebtedness, as well as to pay operating expenses or to fund reserves. We also may use the net proceeds of this offering to fund some or all of our distributions for any period in which our cash flow from operations is not sufficient. We have not limited the amount of these proceeds that may be used to fund distributions.

PRIOR PERFORMANCE OF IREIC AFFILIATES

 

During the ten year period ended June 30, 2012, IREIC and its affiliates sponsored three other REITs, 110 real estate exchange private placement limited partnerships and limited liability companies, which altogether have raised more than $17.6 billion from over 401,000 investors in offerings for which Inland Securities has served as dealer manager. During that period, RPAI, Inland American and Inland Diversified raised approximately $15.6 billion from over 391,000 investors.  These REITs have investment objectives similar to ours in that they seek to invest in real estate that produces both current income and long-term capital appreciation for stockholders.  The monies raised by IREIC-sponsored REITs, including IRC and IRRETI, two REITs sponsored by IREIC prior to this ten year period, represent approximately 95% of the aggregate amount raised in offerings for which Inland Securities has served as dealer manager, approximately 99% of the aggregate number of investors, approximately 95% of properties purchased and approximately 93% of the aggregate cost of the properties purchased by the prior programs sponsored by IREIC and its affiliates.

 

Inland Private Capital Corporation, or “IPCC,” offers real estate exchange transactions, on a private placement basis, designed, among other things, to provide replacement properties for persons wishing to complete an IRS Section 1031 real estate exchange. Thus, these private placement programs do not have investment objectives similar to ours. However, these private placement programs have owned real estate assets similar to those that we may seek to acquire, including industrial/distribution buildings, shopping centers, office buildings and other retail buildings.

 

We pay fees to, and reimburse expenses incurred by, Inland Securities and our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers, TIREG and their affiliates, as described in more detail in the section of this prospectus captioned “Prospectus Summary — Compensation Paid to Affiliates of IREIC.”  The other five REITs previously sponsored by IREIC have similarly compensated IREIC and each of their respective business managers, real estate managers and affiliates.  The private placement programs sponsored by IPCC and IREIC pay some of the same types of fees and expenses that we pay, such as selling commissions, marketing contributions, bona fide due diligence expenses, business management fees and real estate management fees. However, because the business conducted by, and the underlying investment objectives of, these private placement programs are substantially different than our business and investment objectives, other fees and expenses paid by the private placement programs are not directly comparable to ours.

 

The following discussion and the Prior Performance Tables, included in this prospectus as Appendix A, provide information on the prior performance of the real estate programs sponsored by IREIC and IPCC.  Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance.  With respect to the disclosures set forth herein, we have not provided information for IRRETI as of June 30, 2012. On February 27, 2007, all of the outstanding common stock of IRRETI was acquired in a merger with Developers Diversified Realty Corporation (“DDR”).  Pursuant to the merger agreement, DDR acquired IRRETI for a total merger consideration of $14.00 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends for the month of February 2007 in cash, prorated in accordance with the agreement. DDR elected to pay the merger consideration to the IRRETI stockholders through a combination of $12.50 in cash and $1.50 in common shares of DDR, which equated to a 0.021569 common share of DDR. The transaction had a total enterprise value of approximately $6.2 billion. No further information regarding IRRETI following completion of the merger is available.

Summary Information

 

The following table provides summarized information concerning prior programs sponsored by IREIC or its affiliates, with the exception of IRRETI, for the ten year period ending June 30, 2012, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the introductory discussion above and the detailed information appearing in the Prior Performance Tables in Appendix A. With respect to IRRETI, information is presented for the ten year period ended September 30, 2006. This information set forth in this table, and in the narrative that follows, represents capital raised by these prior programs only through offerings for which Inland Securities has served as dealer manager and, only where noted, through their respective distribution reinvestment plans.

 

All information regarding the REITs previously sponsored by IREIC has been taken from, or derived from, the public filings by these entities.  Like IRC, RPAI, although previously sponsored by IREIC, is no longer managed by affiliates of our Business Manager.  Unlike IRC, RPAI has terminated, or provided notice that it will terminate, various service agreements with The Inland Group and its affiliates.  Specifically, during the second quarter of 2012, RPAI terminated its investment advisor agreement, and, effective as of the fourth quarter of 2012, RPAI has provided notice that it will terminate the following agreements: loan servicing; mortgage financing services; communications services; institutional investor relationships services; insurance and risk management services; property tax services; computer services; and personnel services.  We are unable to verify or assess the reliability, accuracy or completeness of any of the information related to RPAI. It is possible the information regarding RPAI contains inaccuracies or omissions, or was prepared using a methodology different from the methodology we used when compiling data regarding the prior performance of other programs sponsored by our sponsor.

 

WE ARE NOT, BY INCLUDING THESE TABLES, IMPLYING THAT WE WILL HAVE RESULTS COMPARABLE TO THOSE REFLECTED IN THE TABLES BECAUSE OUR YIELD ON INVESTMENTS, CASH AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION AND OTHER FACTORS MAY BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT. ACQUIRING OUR SHARES WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANY INTEREST IN ANY PRIOR PROGRAM.

As of June 30, 2012, IRC owned interests in 149 investment properties, including thirty-eight properties owned indirectly through unconsolidated joint ventures but not including development joint venture properties.  These properties were purchased in part with the net proceeds received from the offerings of shares of its common stock, borrowings secured by its properties, draws on its line of credit or sales proceeds from previous sales of properties.  As of June 30, 2012, IRC had total debt of approximately $778.4 million (excluding unconsolidated joint venture debt).  Approximately $449.2 million of this debt is secured by IRC’s properties.  The remaining $329.2 million is comprised of unsecured debt, reflecting draws on IRC’s line of credit and borrowings under two term loans and the face value of IRC convertible notes.

 

On October 10, 2012, the closing price of the IRC common stock on the NYSE was $8.51 per share.

 

Investor Update.  IRC currently pays monthly distributions.  For the first six months of 2012, IRC paid monthly distributions equal to $0.0475 per common share and monthly cash dividends to preferred stockholders equal to $0.169271 per share on the outstanding shares of its 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.  IRC has stated that future distributions will be determined by its board of directors, and that it expects to continue paying distributions to maintain its status as a REIT.

 

Capital Raise.  Through a total of four public offerings for which Inland Securities served as dealer manager, the last of which was completed in 1998, IRC sold a total of 51.6 million shares of common stock.  Through June 30, 2012, IRC had issued approximately 18.0 million shares of common stock through its dividend reinvestment plan and repurchased approximately 5.3 million shares of common stock through its share repurchase program, which was terminated in 2004.  Further, in May 2009, IRC completed an underwritten equity offering of approximately 17.1 million shares of common stock at a price of $6.50 per share.  Net of underwriting fees, the offering generated net proceeds of approximately $106.4 million, excluding offering costs.  On November 10, 2009, IRC entered into a Sales Agency Agreement with BMO Capital Markets Corp. (“BMO”) to offer and sell up to $100 million in shares of its common stock from time to time through BMO, acting as sales agent.  As of June 30, 2012, IRC had issued approximately 3.8 million shares of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agency Agreement and generated net proceeds of approximately $31.7 million, after deducting selling commissions paid to BMO.  Approximately $67.5 million remained available for sale under this program.  As a result of all common stock offerings, as of June 30, 2012, IRC had realized total net offering proceeds of approximately $844.5 million.

 

In addition, in October 2011, IRC issued two million shares of 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at a public offering price of $25.00 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $48.4 million, after deducting the underwriting discount but before expenses.  The proceeds were used to acquire investment properties. In February 2012, IRC issued an additional 2.4 million shares of 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at a public offering price of $25.3906 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $59.0 million, after deducting the underwriting discount but before expenses.  IRC used the net proceeds of the offering to acquire additional investment properties.

 

In November 2006, IRC issued $180.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.625% convertible senior notes due in 2026.  Through this private placement, IRC received net proceeds of approximately $177.3 million after deducting selling discounts and commissions.  Through a tender/exchange offer that expired August 5, 2010, IRC purchased for cash $15.0 million of the $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes, and exchanged $29.2 million of the notes for a new series of 5.0% convertible senior notes due 2029.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, IRC

repurchased the outstanding 2026 notes pursuant to their terms.  As of June 30, 2012, a total of $29.2 million in principal face amount of the 2029 notes remained outstanding.

 

Portfolio Update.  In the IRC 10-Q, IRC reported that during the recent economic downturn, its financial results were negatively impacted by increased vacancies, increased time to re-lease vacant spaces, reduced recovery income resulting from the decreased occupancy and lower rental rates on newly signed leases.  IRC reported that recovery income decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 due to a decrease in the type of expenses that may be recovered from tenants, but that its total recovery rate has increased during recent periods.  IRC stated in its 10-Q that it has begun to experience an increase in market rental rates, but that re-leasing vacant space has costs, including leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances, which have the effect of reducing cash flow at the beginning of a new lease.  IRC reported that, during the six months ended June 30, 2012, it recorded approximately $2.5 million of tenant concessions.

 

IRC also reported in the IRC 10-Q that during the six months ended June 30, 2012, IRC executed twenty-six new, seventy-nine renewal and twenty-six non-comparable leases (expansion square footage or spaces for which no former tenant was in place for one year or more), aggregating approximately 434,000 square feet of IRC’s consolidated portfolio.   The twenty-six new leases comprise approximately 101,000 square feet with an average rental rate of $14.83 per square foot, a 2.1% increase over the average expiring rate.  The seventy-nine renewal leases comprise approximately 216,000 square feet with an average rental rate of $17.08 per square foot, an 8.1% increase over the average expiring rate.  The twenty-six non-comparable leases comprise approximately 117,000 square feet with an average base rent of $10.70 per square foot.  IRC clarified that the calculations of former and new average base rents are adjusted for rent abatements.  IRC stated in the IRC 10-Q that, for leases signed during the prior twenty-four months, the average leasing commission was approximately $5.00 per square foot, the average cost for tenant improvements was approximately $20.00 per square foot and the average period given for rent concessions was three to five months.

 

According to the IRC 10-Q, during the remainder of 2012, seventy-nine leases, comprising approximately 198,000 square feet and accounting for approximately 2.7% of its annualized base rent, will be expiring in IRC’s consolidated portfolio.  IRC reported that none of the expiring leases is deemed to be material to IRC’s financial results.  The weighted average expiring rate on these leases is $15.96 per square foot.  IRC reported that it will continue to attempt to renew expiring leases and re-lease those spaces that are vacant, or may become vacant, at more favorable rental rates to increase revenue and cash flow.

 

IRC reported in the IRC 10-Q, that the scheduled maturities for IRC’s outstanding mortgage indebtedness had various maturity dates through July 2022.

 

IRC also reported that on July 1, 2010, it entered into a loan modification agreement with the special servicer of the loan on one phase of the Algonquin Commons investment property.  The original loan required monthly payments of principal and interest.  The modification changed the monthly payments to interest only, for a period of two years, which expired June 1, 2012.  IRC stated that the purpose of the modification was to reduce the cash required to service the debt and redeploy the capital to partially fund the costs of new leases entered into during the past two years.  However, due to ongoing vacancies and certain co-tenancy issues, which allowed certain tenants to reduce the monthly rents paid, the property is not generating sufficient cash flow to resume paying both principal and interest payments on the outstanding debt.  IRC reported that the total outstanding balance of the debt on both phases of the property is approximately $90.2 million, of which approximately $71.6 million is non-recourse and approximately $18.6 million has been guaranteed by IRC.

RPAI reported that on March 20, 2012, it effectuated a ten-to-one reverse stock split of its existing common stock, and that immediately following the reverse stock split, it redesignated its existing common stock as Class A Common Stock.  On March 21, 2012, RPAI paid a stock dividend pursuant to which each then outstanding share of its Class A Common Stock received: one share of Class B-1 Common Stock; one share of Class B-2 Common Stock; and one share of Class B-3 Common Stock.  The terms of the Class B-1 Common Stock, Class B-2 Common Stock and Class B-3 Common Stock are identical in all respects to the Class A Common Stock, except that the Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Common Stock will automatically convert into Class A Common Stock on the date that is six months, twelve months and eighteen months, respectively, after the initial listing of the Class A Common Stock.

 

RPAI announced that it completed a public offering of 36,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at $8.00 per share (which, without giving effect to the reverse stock split or stock dividend, is equivalent to $3.20 per share of its common stock) on April 5, 2012.  This public offering generated gross proceeds of approximately $292.6 million, or approximately $272.1 million net of the underwriting discount.  Also on April 5, 2012, RPAI’s Class A Common Stock began trading on April 5, 2012 on the NYSE under the symbol “RPAI.”  On October 10, 2012, the closing price of the RPAI Class A Common Stock on the NYSE was $11.82 per share (which, without giving effect to the reverse stock split or stock dividend, is equivalent to $4.73 per share of its common stock).

Subsequently, RPAI raised additional capital of $50 million from a related party, Inland Equity Investors, LLC (“Inland Equity”), in exchange for a 23% noncontrolling interest in IW JV.  On April 26, 2012, RPAI paid approximately $55.4 million, representing the agreed upon repurchase price and accrued but unpaid preferred return, to Inland Equity to repurchase Inland Equity’s interest 23% in IW JV, resulting in RPAI owning 100% of IW JV.  Inland Equity is owned by certain individuals, including Mr. Goodwin and Mr. Parks.

RPAI stated in the RPAI 10-Q that, during the second quarter of 2012, it terminated its investment advisor agreement with an affiliate of The Inland Group.  RPAI also reported that, effective as of the fourth quarter of 2012, it will be terminating the following agreements with The Inland Group and its affiliates: loan servicing; mortgage financing services; communications services; institutional investor relationships services; insurance and risk management services; property tax services; computer services; and personnel services. RPAI also announced that on August 2, 2012, it executed a lease for new office space and will relocate its corporate headquarters by year-end 2012.

 

Current Litigation.  In the RPAI 10-Q, RPAI announced that, on July 26, 2012, a purported stockholder of RPAI has filed a putative class action complaint against RPAI and certain of its officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The RPAI 10-Q states that the complaint alleges, among other things, that RPAI and the individual defendants breached

their fiduciary duties when RPAI listed its stock on the NYSE and made a concurrent equity offering. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and other relief. RPAI stated in the press release that, based on its initial review of the complaint, RPAI believes the lawsuit to be without merit and intends to defend the action vigorously.

 

We are aware of three additional class action complaints filed against RPAI.  Each complaint was filed by a purported stockholder of RPAI against RPAI, certain former and current directors and certain officers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.  One complaint, filed on August 14, 2012, alleges that RPAI and the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the sale of common stock under the RPAI distribution reinvestment plan.  A second complaint, filed on August 22, 2012, alleges, among other things, that RPAI and the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties, including in connection with RPAI’s recapitalization. The third complaint, filed on October 10, 2012, alleges misrepresentations, breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment.

According to the Q1 American 10-Q, Inland American cannot reasonably estimate the timing of the investigation, nor can it predict whether or not the investigation might have a material adverse effect on the business.

Distributions by Publicly Registered REITs

 

The following tables summarize distributions paid by IRC, RPAI, Inland American and Inland Diversified during the ten years (or any lesser period, as the case may be) ended June 30, 2012, and by IRRETI through September 30, 2006. The rate at which each company raises capital, acquires properties and generates cash from all sources determines the amount of cash available for distribution. As described in more detail below, IREIC or its affiliates agreed, from time to time, to either forgo or defer all or a portion of the business management and advisory fees due them to increase the amount of cash available to pay distributions while each REIT raised capital and acquired properties.  In each case, if IREIC or its affiliates had not agreed to forgo or defer all or a portion of the advisor fee, or, in the case of RPAI and Inland Diversified, advance or contribute monies to pay distributions, the aggregate amount of distributions made by each REIT may have been reduced or the REIT would have likely had to decrease the number of properties acquired or the pace at which it acquired properties.  See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business” for a discussion of risks associated with the availability and timing of our cash distributions.

(A) These properties were sold.
   
(B) CompUSA vacated its space in October 2006 and ceased paying rent in September 2007.  CompUSA never filed bankruptcy but instead settled out of court with creditors and vendors.  The settlement provided $530,436 to the co-owners.  In November 2007, it was the unanimous decision of the co-owners to cease quarterly distributions until the facility was re-tenanted.  By July 2009, it was clear that a new tenant would not be possible and the loan servicer for the property initiated foreclosure proceedings.  Lombard Exchange, L.L.C., the asset manager, negotiated with the loan servicer, who agreed to approve a transfer allowing the co-owners to continue their 1031 exchange program with IPCC through a transfer into a portion of a multi-tenanted retail property located in Flowermound, Texas known as Robertson’s Creek in consideration for the co-owners participation in a consent foreclosure.
   
(C) The maturity date of the loan encumbering the property was May 1, 2010. A replacement loan could not be obtained. The loan was extended through February 1, 2012. Davenport Exchange, L.L.C. the asset manager, is currently working on a potential sale. Since the sale or refinance was not finalized as of February 1, 2012, the loan servicer is charging additional default interest of 5.0%.
   
(D) Old Navy, which occupies 20,269 square feet of the total 78,977 square feet, has been granted a rental rate reduction to from $15.78 to $14.75 per square foot for the five-year renewal period commencing in June 2009 and expiring in May 2014.
   
(E) The maturity date of the loan encumbering the property was January 1, 2011. The loan was refinanced on December 30, 2010 at an interest rate of 6.246% per annum with twenty-five-year amortization. In addition, IPCC advanced approximately $450,000 at an interest rate of 7.00% per annum with five-year amortization to the investors to cover the closing costs associated with the refinance.

 

(F) During the second quarter of 2007, the sole owner of the property decided to manage the property himself. Therefore, IPCC no longer has access to any information related to the operations or performance of this property.
   
(G) The anticipated repayment date of the loan encumbering the property has passed. A replacement loan could not be obtained. However, the loan includes a “hyper-amortization” provision which allows the loan to continue. The “hyper-amortization” provision requires an increase in the interest rate by 2.0% per annum and for all remaining cash flow to be used to pay down the principal balance of the existing loan.

 

(H) The loan was refinanced on May 12, 2011 at an interest rate of 5.41% per annum with twenty-five-year amortization.

(I) The loan was refinanced on February 5, 2010 at an interest rate of 6.75% per annum with twenty-five-year amortization.
   
(J) The anticipated repayment date of the loan encumbering the property was March 1, 2011. A replacement loan could not be obtained. However, the loan includes a “hyper-amortization” provision which allows the loan to continue through March 1, 2029 or until repayment occurs. The “hyper-amortization” provision does require an increase in the interest rate from 5.185% to 7.185% and all remaining cash flow to be used to pay down the principal balance of the existing loan.
   
(K) This property was refinanced on February 23, 2011. The new mortgage in the amount of $6.6 million bears interest at the rate of 6.125% with a twenty year amortization period.
   
(L) Deere & Company, the tenant, vacated the property in November 2009. However, the lease with Deere & Company is a long-term, “corporate” lease which obligates the tenant to pay rent through the early termination date of December 31, 2012. At that time, Deere & Company must also pay a termination fee of $4.2 million. The tenant has secured a subtenant to occupy the entire building through September 2014. In conjunction with the sublease, the termination date has been extended to September 30, 2014 and at that time the tenant must now pay a termination fee of $3 million. The anticipated repayment date of the loan encumbering the property was December 1, 2011. The loan includes a “hyper-amortization” provision which allows the loan to continue through December 1, 2034 or until repayment occurs. The “hyper-amortization” provision does require an increase in the interest rate from 4.992% to 6.992% and all remaining cash flow to be used to pay down the principal balance of the existing loan.
   
(M) The loan was refinanced on December 23, 2011 at an interest rate of 4.50% per annum with thirty-year amortization.
   
(N) This loan was paid off on November 14, 2011.
   
(O) In September 2009, the co-owners approved Old Navy’s lease renewal proposal, which included a downsize from 25,000 square feet to 15,378 square feet and a rent reduction from $14 per square foot to $13 per square foot for a five-year renewal period. The lease amendment with Old Navy was executed on February 18, 2010. Additionally, in September 2010, the co-owners accepted Kirkland’s as a replacement tenant for the 9,604 square feet of former Old Navy space. Kirkland’s completed its build out and opened for business in November 2010. Since the cost to bring in Kirkland’s exceeded the balance of the reserve account, IPCC advanced approximately $300,000 at an interest rate of 7.00% per annum with a twelve-month amortization schedule to the co-owners, which has been repaid by the investors.
   
(P) The lease with Ace Hardware was modified extending the term by ten years until November 30, 2024. The loan was refinanced on March 30, 2012 at an interest rate of 5.588% per annum with thirty-year amortization.
   
(Q) On February 16, 2007, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts instituted an eminent domain proceeding to acquire the property for expansion of its courthouse. Upon the eminent domain taking by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Walgreens, the tenant, stopped making payments. The sole owner has retained legal counsel located in Massachusetts to negotiate and settle the proceeding. IPCC and Inland Continental Property Management Corporation have not provided any services to the sole owner since February 2007. IPCC believes that the eminent domain case has been settled between the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the sole owner and that the sole owner and Walgreens are in dispute regarding the sharing of the eminent domain award.
   
(R) The loan was refinanced on June 28, 2010 at an interest rate of 5.99% per annum with thirty-year amortization. As of September 1, 2011, the sole owner of the property decided to manage the property. Therefore, IPCC no longer has access to any information related to the operations or performance of this property.
   
(S) As of June 30, 2012, there were seven vacancies, including a former Blockbuster, at the center totaling 14,000 square feet of the total 88,257 square feet. Blockbuster, which occupied 4,200 square feet, filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in September 2010. Kroger, which occupies 53,636 square feet, has expressed interest in expanding its store size. Murfreesboro Exchange, L.L.C., the asset manager is working with Kroger on various options to accommodate an expansion.
   
(T) There are two vacancies totaling 6,800 square feet of the total 125,288 square feet at the center. Due to collection issues related to three former tenants, IPCC advanced approximately $250,000 at an interest rate of 7.00% per annum with a three-year amortization schedule to the co-owners to fund operating expenses and distributions for 2009 and 2010. In December 2010, the State of Texas instituted an eminent domain proceeding

  to acquire approximately 10,450 square feet of land included in Parcel 1C of the property and approximately 7,591 square feet of land included in Parcel 1B of the property for road widening. It is anticipated that this would affect access, signage and parking at the property. The co-owners have retained legal counsel for representation and to ensure that this does not violate any of the existing leases or zoning requirements. The Texas Department of Transportation has begun roadwork on the project affecting the property.
   
(U) Cost Plus, which occupied 18,230 square feet of the total 165,600 square feet, vacated its store in May 2008 and paid rent through August 2008. The co-owners approved a Cost Plus lease termination in August 2008 and Cost Plus paid $900,000 to terminate the lease in September 2008. In August 2011, the co-owners accepted Burke’s Outlet as a replacement tenant for Cost Plus. Since Burke’s Outlet’s rent is not anticipated to commence until 2012.
   
(V) Linens N’ Things (“Linens”), which occupied 29,943 square feet of the total 496,692 square feet, filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in May 2008. In October 2008 the bankruptcy court approved a motion to change the Linens bankruptcy filing from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7. Linens vacated its space in August 2008 and paid rent through August 2008, with the exception of May 2008 rent, which was part of a pre-petition claim. An administrative claim has been filed with the bankruptcy court, for the pre-bankruptcy petition, unpaid May 2008 rent. As of August 31, 2012 the bankruptcy claim has not been settled.
   
(W) Dress Barn, which occupies 7,005 square feet of the total 172,866 square feet, planned to exercise its termination right under the lease. Instead, the co-owners agreed to modify the Dress Barn lease by reducing the rent from $15.74 to $11.00 per square foot starting in November 2009. Linens occupied 25,127 square feet of the total 172,866 square feet. In December 2008, the co-owners accepted JoAnn’s Stores, Inc. (“JoAnn’s”) as a replacement tenant for Linens. The cost to secure Jo-Ann’s was approximately $251,270 in tenant improvements and $125,635 in leasing commissions and JoAnn’s rent is being abated for the first nineteen months of the lease term. Since the cost to bring in JoAnn’s exceeded the balance of the reserve account, IPCC advanced approximately $165,000 at an interest rate of 7.00% per annum with a twenty-eight-month amortization schedule to the co-owners. Additionally, although Boston Pizza had previously vacated their space, their lender continued to pay their rent. The lender stopped paying rent in April 2010, and in June 2011, the co-owners accepted Chili’s as a replacement tenant. Dress Barn, which occupied 7,005 square feet, vacated in June 2011 and the co-owners also accepted Rue 21 and Game Stop as replacement tenants for the Dress Barn space. Rue 21 had previously occupied a smaller space at the center and relocated a portion of the Dress Barn space.
   
(X) Borders announced plans to file for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in February 2011 and closed the Carmel, IN location in April 2011. Foreclosure proceedings were filed in May 2011 and Carmel Exchange, LLC, the asset manager, is working with the lender to discuss potential work-out scenarios
   
(Y) Circuit City, which occupied 33,881 square feet of the total 123,753 square feet, filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in November 2008. Circuit City vacated its space in February 2009 and paid rent through part of February 2009. Inland Continental Property Management Corporation, property manager, has received interest from several tenants on the vacant space and is currently negotiating with a potential replacement. In April 2011, the co-owners accepted Marshalls as a replacement tenant for Circuit City.
   
(Z) BJ’s Wholesale Club vacated the property in January 2011. The tenant has requested a lease termination; however, the lease with BJ’s Wholesale Club is a long-term, “corporate” lease which obligates the tenant to pay rent through the lease expiration date of August 31, 2023.
   
(AA) Pharmacy Portfolio III, DST and Pharmacy Portfolio IV, DST are structured so that the monthly debt service payments are equal to the monthly base rent so that the loans fully amortize by the end of the lease terms. Although no cash flow is available for distributions, investors do earn a yield on their investment due to the principal repayments on the loans.

 

Liquidity of Prior Programs

 

While engaged in a public offering of its common stock, each of the five REITs previously sponsored by IREIC disclosed in its prospectus the time at which it anticipated its board would consider listing, liquidating or selling its assets individually.  The following summary sets forth both the dates on

which these REITs anticipated considering a liquidity event and the dates on which the liquidity events occurred, if ever.

 

·              Inland Real Estate Corporation. IRC stated that the company anticipated that, by 1999, its directors would determine whether to apply to have the shares of its common stock listed for trading on a national stock exchange.  In July 2000, IRC became a self-administered REIT by acquiring, through merger, its advisor and its property manager. The board evaluated market conditions each year thereafter.  IRC listed its shares on the NYSE and began trading on June 9, 2004 at a price equal to $11.95 per share.  On October 10, 2012, the closing price of the IRC common stock on the NYSE was $8.51 per share.

 

·              Inland Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc.  IRRETI stated that the company anticipated that, by February 2004, its directors would determine whether to apply to have shares of its common stock listed for trading on a national stock exchange.  In December 2004, IRRETI became a self-administered REIT by acquiring, through merger, its business manager and advisor and its property managers. The board of directors of IRRETI thereafter considered market conditions and chose not to list its common stock.  IRRETI instead consummated a liquidity event by merging with Developers Diversified Realty Corporation, a NYSE-listed REIT, in February 2007.  IRRETI’s stockholders received, for each share of common stock held, $12.50 in cash and $1.50 in common shares of DDR, which equated to a 0.021569 common share of DDR.

 

·              Retail Properties of America, Inc.  RPAI stated that the company anticipated that, by September 2008, its directors would determine whether to apply to have the shares of its common stock listed for trading on a national stock exchange, or whether to commence subsequent offerings of its common stock.  In November 2007, RPAI became a self-administered REIT by acquiring, through merger, its business manager and advisor and its property managers. RPAI announced that it completed a public offering of 36,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at $8.00 per share (which, without giving effect to the reverse stock split or stock dividend, is equivalent to $3.20 per share of its common stock) on April 5, 2012.  This public offering generated gross proceeds of approximately $292.6 million, or approximately $272.1 million net of the underwriting discount.  Also on April 5, 2012, RPAI’s Class A Common Stock began trading on April 5, 2012 on the NYSE under the symbol “RPAI.”  On October 10, 2012, the closing price of the RPAI Class A Common Stock on the NYSE was $11.82 per share (which, without giving effect to the reverse stock split or stock dividend, is equivalent to $4.73 per share of its common stock).

 

·              Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc.  In the prospectuses used in each of its “best efforts” offerings, Inland American disclosed to its investors that its board would determine when, and if, to apply to have its shares of common stock listed for trading on a national securities exchange, subject to satisfying existing listing requirements, and that its board did not anticipate evaluating a listing on a national securities exchange until at least 2010.  The public reports filed by Inland American with the SEC do not indicate that Inland American’s board of directors had begun evaluating a listing of its common stock as of June 30, 2012.

 

·              Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc.  In the prospectus used in its “best efforts” offering, Inland Diversified disclosed to its investors that its board would determine when, and if, to apply to have its shares of common stock listed for trading on a national

MANAGEMENT

 

Board of Directors

 

We operate under the direction of our board of directors, which is responsible for managing and controlling our business.  The board has retained IREIT Business Manager & Advisor, Inc. to serve as our Business Manager and to manage our day-to-day operations.  Our charter and bylaws provide that the number of our directors may be established by a majority of the entire board of directors but may not be more than eleven.  We have five members on our board of directors.  The charter further provides that at, or prior to, the commencement of this offering, the majority of our directors must be “independent,” except for a period of up to sixty days after the death, removal or resignation of an independent director, pending the election of that independent director’s successor.  For purposes of our charter, an “independent director” is a director who is not, and within the last two years has not been, directly or indirectly associated with IREIC or the Business Manager by virtue of: (1) an ownership of an interest in IREIC, the Business Manager or any of their affiliates; (2) employment by IREIC, the Business Manager or any of their affiliates; (3) service as an officer or director of IREIC, the Business Manager or any of their affiliates; (4) performance of services, other than as a director, for us; (5) service as a director or trustee of more than three REITs sponsored by IREIC or managed by the Business Manager; or (6) a material business or professional relationship with IREIC, the Business Manager or any of their affiliates.  For purposes of determining whether or not the business or professional relationship is material, the aggregate gross revenue derived by the independent director from us, IREIC, the Business Manager and their affiliates will be deemed material per se if it exceeds 5% of the independent director’s: (a) annual gross revenue, derived from all sources, during either of the prior two years; or (b) net worth, on a fair market value basis during the prior two years.

 

Each director will serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified.  Although the number of directors may be increased or decreased, a decrease will not have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director.  A director may resign at any time and be removed with or without cause by the stockholders upon the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting called for the purpose of the proposed removal.  The notice of the meeting must indicate that the purpose of the meeting is to determine if the director is to be removed.  Unless filled by a vote of the stockholders following the removal of a director, a vacancy created by an increase in the number of the directors or by the death, resignation, removal, adjudicated incompetence or other incapacity of a director will be filled by a vote of a majority of the remaining directors. However, any replacements for vacancies among the independent directors may be nominated only by our independent directors.

 

Our directors and officers are not required to devote all of their time to our business; however, our directors will meet at least once each quarter.  In the exercise of their duties, our directors will rely on our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and their affiliates.  Our board has a fiduciary duty to our stockholders to supervise the relationship between us and our Business Manager.  Our board also has the power to set the compensation of all officers that it selects and to negotiate the terms and conditions of the agreements with all third parties including our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers.

 

Our directors will establish written policies on investments and borrowings and will monitor the administrative procedures, investment operations and performance to ensure that the policies are fulfilled and are in the best interest of our stockholders.  We also will follow the policies on investments and borrowing set forth in our organizational documents and described in this prospectus until and unless they are modified by our directors or amended in the manner described in “Summary of our Organizational Documents — Amendment of the Organizational Documents.”

Inland Affiliated Companies

 

Our sponsor, Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation, or IREIC, is an affiliate of The Inland Real Estate Group, Inc., or “TIREG,” which is wholly owned by The Inland Group, Inc.  The first Inland entity was formed by a group of Chicago schoolteachers in 1967, and incorporated the following year.  TIREG and its affiliates are still centered in the Chicago metropolitan area.  Over the past forty years, TIREG’s affiliates have experienced significant growth and now make up a fully-integrated group of legally and financially separate companies that have been engaged in diverse facets of real estate providing property management, leasing, marketing, acquisition, disposition, development, redevelopment, renovation, construction, finance, investment products and other related services.  IREIC, our Business Manager and TIREG are part of The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc.

 

The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies was the 2009 winner, in the category including 1,000+ employees, of the thirteenth annual Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics, awarded by the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago & Northern Illinois (the “BBB”).  The award is given to companies that the BBB identifies as exemplifying ethical business practices.  In a press release issued by the BBB, the president and chief executive officer of the BBB noted that the 2009 competition had the largest number of nominations and entries, with more than 1,800 nominations from a wide variety of businesses.  We note, however, that these rankings do not indicate, and should not be relied upon as to, how we may perform in the future.

 

As of June 30, 2012, Inland affiliates or related parties had raised more than $19 billion from investment product sales to over 368,000 investors, many of whom have invested in more than one product.  Inland had completed 437 programs, comprised of eight public funds, 419 private partnerships, nine 1031 exchange programs and one public REIT, as of June 30, 2012.  No completed program has paid total distributions less than the total contributed capital to the program.  For these purposes, Inland considers a program to be “completed” at the time that the program no longer owns any assets (four sole owners in 1031 exchange programs elected to self-manage their properties; and therefore, no information on current performance for those programs is available to Inland).  Neither IRC nor RPAI is considered a “completed” program for these purposes, as each continues to own assets.

 

As of June 30, 2012, Inland affiliates or related parties cumulatively had 1,458 employees, owned properties in forty-seven states and managed assets with a book value exceeding $20.2 billion.   As of June 30, 2012, Inland was responsible for managing approximately 115 million square feet of commercial properties located in forty-seven states, as well as 12,225 multi-family units.  IREA, another affiliate of IREIC, has extensive experience in acquiring real estate for investment.  Over the years, through IREA and other affiliates, Inland has acquired more than 3,045 properties.

 

As of June 30, 2012, IREIC or its subsidiaries were the general partner of limited partnerships and the general manager of limited liability companies which owned in excess of 1,701 acres of pre-development land in the Chicago area, as well as over 2.0 million square feet of real property and 659 apartment units.

 

Inland Real Estate Brokerage & Auctions, Inc., since 2000 has completed more than $1.1 billion in commercial real estate sales and leases and has been involved in the sale of more than 7,400 multi-family units and the sale and lease of over 117.0 million square feet of commercial property. As of June 30, 2012, another Inland affiliate, Inland Mortgage Brokerage Corporation, had originated more than $19.1 billion in financing including loans to third parties and affiliated entities.  Another Inland affiliate, Inland Mortgage Capital Corporation owned a loan portfolio totaling approximately $125.6 million.  Another affiliate, Inland Commercial Mortgage Corporation, had originated more than $1.4

in connection with the Business Manager’s obligations under the business management agreement.  ICS will provide the Business Manager with all upgrades to the licensed software, as available.

 

In addition, we will directly enter into the following agreements:

 

·              Legal Services Agreement.  We will enter into a legal services agreement with TIREG, pursuant to which TIREG will provide legal services, including drafting and negotiating real estate purchase and sales contracts, leases and other real estate or corporate agreements and documents, performing due diligence and rendering legal opinions.

 

·              Trademark License Agreement.  We have entered into a license agreement with TIREG granting us a non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license to use the “Inland” name and marks, and the goodwill associated with them, in connection with our business.  TIREG retains exclusive ownership of all trademarks and, except for permitted sublicenses, we will not be able to transfer, sell, assign or modify any right granted to us under the trademark license agreement.  The license agreement contains customary and usual representations, warranties and covenants for agreements of this type, and requires us to indemnify TIREG for any damages resulting from a breach of its obligations under the trademark license agreement.  Either party may terminate the license agreement upon thirty days prior written notice.  If TIREG terminates the agreement, we will have a reasonable opportunity to transition to other trademarks.

 

Except as described above with respect to IRIM, ICAP and Inland Advisors, we have agreed to reimburse the service providers for the expenses paid or incurred to provide these services. Expenses include, but are not limited to, all:

 

·              taxes and assessments on income or real property and taxes;

 

·              premiums and other associated fees for insurance policies including director and officer liability insurance;

 

·              expenses associated with investor communications including the cost of preparing, printing and mailing annual reports, proxy statements and other reports required by governmental entities;

 

·              administrative service expenses charged to, or for the benefit of, us by third parties;

·              transfer agent and registrar’s fees and charges paid to third parties; and

 

·              expenses relating to any offices or office facilities maintained solely for our benefit that are separate and distinct from our executive offices.

 

Except as described above with respect to IRIM, ICAP and Inland Advisors, we also will reimburse the service providers for the salaries, benefits and overhead of persons performing services for these entities on our behalf (except for the salaries and benefits of persons who also serve as one of our executive officers or as an executive officer of our Business Manager or its affiliates).  In the case of employees of IREIC who also provide services for other entities sponsored by, or affiliated with, IREIC, we will reimburse only a pro rata portion of the salary and benefits of these persons based on the amount  

 

117


 

Table of Contents

 

of time spent by those persons on matters for us compared to the time spent by that same person on all other matters including our matters.  In the case of each service provider other than IREIC, but except as otherwise provided above or otherwise agreed to in writing by us or the Business Manager, we will be responsible for the payment of the charges billed by that entity for work done for our benefit.  These charges will be based upon: (1) the “hourly billing rate” of the persons providing services for the service provider; (2) fixed amounts; or (3) a combination of the “hourly billing rate” and fixed amounts, all as set forth in the respective agreements between us or the Business Manager and the service provider.  The “hourly billing rate” for those persons performing services for the service providers will be based on the budgeted salaries, benefits, overhead and operating expenses of the service providers.  In the event that a service provider has revenues for any particular fiscal year that exceed its expenses for that year, the service provider will rebate the excess on a pro rata basis to the various entities for which it provides services, based on the revenues attributable to each entity.

 

These service agreements will terminate upon the termination of the business management agreement unless the Business Manager or the service provider agrees otherwise.  However, if we elect to internalize the functions performed by our Business Manager pursuant to the transition process set forth in our business management agreement, during the transition period, at our request, the Business Manager will assign any or all of the service provider agreements to us.  We will have full discretion to determine which agreements or services that we will continue to obtain directly from these service providers.  See  “— Internalization” below for a more detailed discussion regarding the this transition process.

 

Term.  The business management agreement has a term of one year and may be renewed for successive one year terms upon the mutual consent of the parties, including approval by a majority of our independent directors.  Our board of directors will evaluate the performance of our Business Manager each time before renewing the business management agreement.  The criteria used in this review will be reflected in the minutes of that meeting.  The agreement may be terminated, without cause or penalty, by us, upon a vote by a majority of the independent directors, or by the Business Manager on sixty days written notice to the other party.  If the business management agreement is terminated, our Business Manager must cooperate with us and take all reasonable steps requested by our board to assist it in making an orderly transition. Our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, will approve a successor business manager only upon determining that the new business manager possesses sufficient qualifications to perform the business management functions for us and that the compensation to be received by the new business manager pursuant to the new business management agreement is justified.  See also “— Internalization” below.

 

Compensation.  We will compensate our Business Manager for the services provided to us.  See “Compensation Table” for a detailed discussion regarding the fees we will pay and expenses that we will reimburse to our Business Manager.  The terms and conditions of the business management agreement, including the fee and expense reimbursement provisions, may be amended upon the mutual consent of the parties; however, we will continue to be subject to any limits set forth in our charter until our charter is amended, which would require stockholder approval.

 

If our Business Manager or its affiliates perform services that are outside of the scope of those required under the business management agreement, we will compensate our Business Manager at rates and in amounts approved by our board of directors.  See “Conflicts of Interest” for additional discussion regarding fees paid to the Business Manager.

 

Our independent directors will determine from time to time, and at least annually, that the compensation that we agree to pay to the Business Manager is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services performed or to be performed and is within the limits prescribed by our charter and applicable law.  Our independent directors also will supervise the performance of our Business Manager

 

118


 

Table of Contents

 

and the compensation that we pay to it to ensure compliance with the provisions of our business management agreement.  Each determination will be recorded in the minutes of our board of directors meetings and based on the factors set forth below and other factors that the independent directors deem relevant:

 

·              the size of the business management fee in relation to the size, composition and profitability of our portfolio;

 

·              the success of our Business Manager in generating opportunities that meet our investment objectives;

 

·              the rates charged to other REITs, especially similarly structured REITs, and to investors other than REITs by business managers performing similar services;

 

·              additional revenues realized by our Business Manager and its affiliates through its relationship with us, including loan administration, underwriting or broker commissions, servicing, engineering, inspection and other fees, whether paid by us or by others with whom we do business;

 

·              the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by our Business Manager;

 

·              the performance of our investment portfolio, including income, conservation or appreciation of capital, frequency of problem investments and competence in dealing with distress situations; and

 

·              the quality of our portfolio in relation to the investments generated by the Business Manager for its own account.

 

Reimbursement.  Notwithstanding the above, our Business Manager is required to reimburse us for the amounts, if any, that our total operating expenses paid during the previous fiscal year exceed the greater of:

 

·              2% of our “average invested assets” for that fiscal year; or

 

·              25% of our net income, before any additions to, or allowance for, reserves for
depreciation, amortization or bad debts or other similar reserves before any gain from the
sale of our assets, for that fiscal year.

 

For these purposes, items such as organization and offering expenses, property-level expenses (including any fees payable under our agreements with the Real Estate Managers), interest payments, taxes, non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortization, impairments and bad debt reserves, the incentive fee payable to our Business Manager, acquisition fees and expenses, commissions payable on the sale of properties and any other expenses incurred in connection with acquiring, disposing and owning real estate assets are excluded from the definition of total operating expenses.  Our Business Manager also is obligated to pay organization and offering expenses exceeding specified levels.  See “Compensation Table” for a description of the fees and reimbursements to which our Business Manager is entitled.

 

119


 

Table of Contents

 

Non-Solicitation.  Except as otherwise described below, during the period commencing on the date on which the business management agreement was entered into and ending one year following the termination of that agreement, we generally may not, without the Business Manager’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly:

 

·              solicit or encourage any person to leave the employment or other service of the Business Manager or any of its affiliates to become employed by us or any of our subsidiaries; or

 

·               hire or offer to hire, on behalf of us or any other person, firm, corporation or other business organization, any employee of the Business Manager or any of its affiliates.

 

Further, with respect to any person who left the employment of the Business Manager or any of its affiliates during the term of the agreement, or within six months immediately after the termination of the agreement, we will not, without the Business Manager’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly hire, or offer to hire, that person during the six months immediately following his or her cessation of employment.

 

Internalization.  As noted herein, we are a newly-formed entity with no operating history and no assets.  There is no assurance that we will achieve our objectives or that we will operate profitably.  We anticipate incurring significant costs to acquire real estate assets and to operate our business.  We have not, however, hired any employees to manage and oversee our business and assets.  Instead, we have engaged the Business Manager to manage and operate our business and the Real Estate Managers to provide real estate management services.  The Business Manager also will arrange for all of the ancillary services described herein and provided by entities related to, or affiliated with, the Business Manager.  Except as otherwise described in this prospectus, we have agreed to reimburse the service providers for the expenses paid or incurred to provide these services including all expenses and the costs of salaries and benefits of persons performing services for these entities on our behalf (except for the salaries and benefits of persons who also serve as one of our executive officers or as an executive officer of our Business Manager or its affiliates).  In the event that a service provider has revenues for any particular fiscal year that exceed its expenses for that year, the service provider will rebate the excess on a pro rata basis to the various entities for which it provides services, based on the revenues attributable to each entity.  See “— Service Provider Agreements” above for additional discussion regarding these ancillary services and the service providers.

 

We may, in the future, become self-administered by internalizing the functions performed for us by our Business Manager.  There are many ways of doing so.  For example, we could simply terminate the Business Manager and hire all new, outside employees unaffiliated with the Business Manager.  Alternatively, we may take advantage of certain provisions contained in our business management agreement.  These provisions are designed to allow us to transition from an externally managed entity to an internally managed entity, without having to pay an internalization fee, by giving us the ability to hire certain of the persons employed by the Business Manager or its affiliates and performing services for us on behalf of the Business Manager, and by giving us time to transition the services performed by the service providers.

 

More specifically, the business management agreement provides that at any time following the one year anniversary of the completion of the “best efforts” portion of this offering, we can begin the process of internalizing the functions performed by our Business Manager by notifying the Business Manager of our intent to internalize (referred to herein as the “internalization notice”).  The decision to pursue the internalization will be made by our board of directors and will require the approval of a majority of our independent directors.  During the period beginning upon the Business Manager’s receipt of the internalization notice and ending on the one-year anniversary thereof (referred to herein as the

 

120


 

Table of Contents

 

“transition period”), we will transition the services provided by the Business Manager to us.  For example, during the transition period, the Business Manager will permit us to solicit for hire the “key” employees of the Business Manager and its affiliates, including all of the persons serving as the executive officers of our company or the Business Manager who do not also serve as directors or officers of any other IREIC-sponsored REITs.  During all other times in which the business management agreement is in place, we are restricted from soliciting these persons pursuant to certain non-solicitation provisions set forth in the business management agreement, as described under “— Non-Solicitation” above.   Any individuals solicited and hired during the transition period will not begin their employment with us until the internalization is complete.   In addition, during the transition period, at our request, the Business Manager will assign any or all of the service provider agreements to us.  We will have full discretion to determine which agreements or services that we will continue to obtain directly from these service providers.

 

We will not pay any internalization fee to acquire the Business Manager.  Historically, non-traded REITs have acquired their advisors in order to internalize these management functions, by paying significant amounts to the owners of the advisor entity.   Rather than do so, if our board of directors chooses, we will be able to transition the services performed for us by the Business Manager.  We will continue to pay and reimburse the Business Manager in the ordinary course under the terms of the existing business management agreement during the one-year transition period. In addition, we will reimburse expenses incurred by our Business Manager in connection with internalizing the functions, and we may incur costs that are incidental to the transaction, such as the cost of purchasing certain tangible assets, like office equipment or computer hardware, from the Business Manager.  At the conclusion of the transition period, the business management agreement will terminate, and the Business Manager will neither be entitled to receive any additional management or acquisition fees nor be entitled to the reimbursement of any expenses that it would have been entitled to had the agreement not been terminated.  The Business Manager will, however, continue to be entitled to receive the subordinated incentive fee, on a prorated basis based on the duration of the Business Manager’s service to us, and we will be required to reimburse the expenses of the service providers pursuant to any service agreements assigned to us with our approval.

 

At any time during the process of internalizing the functions performed by our Business Manager pursuant to the transition procedures described herein, our independent directors may elect to terminate the business management agreement, pursuant to the sixty-day notice provision described above.  If our independent directors elect to terminate the agreement in this manner, both we and the Business Manager will cease all actions related to the internalization, and will not continue with the process.  However, if the Business Manager elects to terminate the agreement during the internalization process, the Business Manager must continue to work with us to ensure that the internalization is completed by the termination date.

 

Notwithstanding the transition process described herein, our board could choose to internalize our business management functions by having us hire all new, outside executives and other employees or by entering into an arrangement with a third party, such as a merger, which would result in us having our own management team.  The terms of that transaction, including the amount of any consideration or compensation to be paid by us, would be negotiated by our board of directors, or a committee thereof.  Further, if we seek to internalize the functions performed for us by the Real Estate Managers, the transaction will be separately negotiated by our independent directors, or a committee thereof, and will not be covered by the procedures described above.

 

121

Liability and Indemnification.  Under our charter, the business management agreement, and the real estate management agreements described below, we are generally required to indemnify our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents and to pay or reimburse its or their reasonable expenses in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding so long as:

 

·              our board of directors has determined in good faith that the course of conduct that caused the loss, liability or expense was in our best interest;

 

·              the person seeking indemnity was acting on behalf of, or performing services for, us;

 

·              the liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct on the part of the person seeking indemnity; and

 

·              the indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of our net assets and not from the assets of our stockholders.

 

We will not indemnify any person or entity for losses, liabilities or expenses arising from, or out of, an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by that person or entity unless one or more of the following conditions are met:

 

·              there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged material securities law violations as to the particular person or entity;

 

·              the claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular person or entity; or

 

·              a court approves a settlement of the claims and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made and the court has been advised of the position of the SEC and the published opinions of any state securities regulatory authority in which our securities were offered and sold with respect to the availability or propriety of indemnification for securities law violations.

 

We will advance amounts to any person seeking indemnity for legal and other expenses only if:

 

·              the legal action relates to acts or omissions concerning the performance of duties or services by the person seeking indemnification for or on our behalf;

 

·              the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder or the legal action is initiated by a stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves the advance; and

 

·               the person receiving the advance undertakes to repay any monies advanced, together with interest thereon at the applicable rate, if a court finds that the person is not entitled to be indemnified.

Real Estate Management Agreements

 

We have entered into real estate management agreements, sometimes referred to herein as the “master management agreements,” with each of our Real Estate Managers.

 

Duties of our Real Estate Managers.  Our Real Estate Managers and their affiliates will manage each of our real properties.  At the time we acquire a property that we would like one of our Real Estate Managers to manage, we will enter into a separate property-specific agreement.  Under this agreement, the applicable Real Estate Manager typically will be responsible for:

 

·              managing the property;

 

·              overseeing and reporting leasing activities for the property;

 

·              preparing monthly operating reports and annualized budgets for the property;

 

·              collecting rent, assessments and other items, including security deposits;

 

·              making, or causing to be made, ordinary repairs and replacements necessary to preserve the property;

 

·              negotiating and entering into contracts for budgeted expense items;

 

·              instituting actions to evict tenants or to recover rent and other sums due, if necessary;

 

·              evaluating, on an ongoing basis, the financial strength of each tenant as well as the overall tenant mix at each property;

 

·              monitoring the financial condition of our tenants;

 

·              performing construction management for tenant build-outs and out-parcel developments, to the extent applicable;

 

·              administering ongoing preventative maintenance programs for structures such as roofs and parking lots and crisis management programs in the event of a flood, fire, hurricane or other disaster;

 

·              reviewing environmental needs and remediation projects at each property;

 

·              coordinating marketing events, including community events to drive traffic at properties;

 

·              performing due diligence, including conducting preliminary site reviews and tenant interviews, confirming the status of new construction and participating in the review of all leases and financial analysis;

 

·              reviewing incoming invoices, leases and internal control points;

 

·              monitoring master lease tenants; and

 

123


 

Table of Contents

 

·              coordinating all post-closing activities related to the purchase and sale of each property, including preparing tax and common area maintenance prorations between the buyer and seller.

 

Inland National HOLDCO LLC, the sole member of our Real Estate Managers, will hire, direct and establish policies for employees who will have direct responsibility for operating each property.

 

Compensation.  We will compensate our Real Estate Managers for the services provided to us.  See “Compensation Table” for a detailed discussion regarding the fees we anticipate paying and expenses that we will reimburse to our Real Estate Managers.  The terms and conditions of the master management agreements, including the fee and expense reimbursement provisions, may be amended upon the mutual consent of the parties.

 

Term.  The master management agreement with each Real Estate Manager has an initial term ending December 31, 2013, and may be renewed for successive one-year terms.  Each master management agreement may be terminated by mutual consent of the parties.  We also may terminate the master management agreements without cause or penalty upon a vote by a majority of the independent directors on sixty days written notice to the Real Estate Managers.  If a master management agreement is terminated, any property-specific agreements will terminate automatically, and the Real Estate Manager must cooperate with us and take all reasonable steps requested by our board to assist it in making an orderly transition.

 

The Real Estate Managers or their affiliates may subcontract with an affiliate or a third party agent to provide a limited scope of real estate management services for a particular property.  The Real Estate Managers will be responsible for paying any fees due to these entities.  Inland National HOLDCO, LLC may form additional subsidiary real estate management companies as necessary to manage the properties we acquire, and may approve of the change of management of a property from one manager to another.

 

Non-Solicitation.  Except as otherwise described below, during the period commencing on the date on which each master management agreement was entered into and ending one year following the termination of that agreement, we generally may not, without the respective Real Estate Manager’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly:

 

·              solicit or encourage any person to leave the employment or other service of the Real Estate Manager or any of its affiliates to become employed by us or any of our subsidiaries; or

 

·              hire or offer to hire, on behalf of us or any other person, firm, corporation or other business organization, any employee of the Real Estate Manager or any of its affiliates.

 

Further, with respect to any person who left the employment of the Real Estate Manager or any of its affiliates during the term of the master management agreement, or within six months immediately after the termination of the agreement, we will not, without the Real Estate Manager’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly hire, or offer to hire, that person during the six months immediately following his or her cessation of employment.

IREIC may face a conflict of interest in allocating personnel and resources between its affiliates, our Business Manager and our Real Estate Managers.

 

We do not have any employees and will rely on persons performing services for our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers and their affiliates to manage our day-to-day operations. Some of these persons, including but not limited to Mr. Goodwin, Ms. McGuinness, Ms. Matlin, Mr. Lichterman, Ms. Hrtanek, Mr. Sajdak and Ms. McNeeley, also provide services to one or more investment programs previously sponsored by IREIC. These individuals face competing demands for their time and service, and will be required to allocate their time between our business and assets and the business and assets of IREIC, its affiliates and the other programs formed and organized by IREIC.  Certain of these individuals have fiduciary duties to both us and our stockholders.  If these persons are unable to devote sufficient time or resources to our business due to the competing demands of the other programs, they may violate their fiduciary duties to us and our stockholders, which could harm the implementation of our investment strategy.  If we do not successfully implement our investment strategy, we may be unable to maintain or increase the value of our assets, and our operating cash flows and ability to pay distributions could be adversely affected.

 

In addition, if another investment program sponsored by IREIC decides to internalize its management functions in the future, it may do so by hiring and retaining certain of the persons currently performing services for our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers, and if it did so, would likely not allow these persons to perform services for us.

 

We do not have arm’s-length agreements with our Business Manager, our Real Estate Managers or any other affiliates of IREIC.

 

The agreements and arrangements with our Business Manager, our Real Estate Managers and any other affiliates of IREIC were not negotiated at arm’s-length.  These agreements may contain terms and conditions that are not in our best interest or would not be present if we entered into arm’s length agreements with third parties.

 

Our Business Manager and its affiliates will face conflicts of interest caused by their compensation arrangements with us, which could result in actions that are not in the long-term best interests of our stockholders.

 

We will pay significant fees to our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and other affiliates of IREIC for services provided to us.  Our Business Manager will receive fees based on the aggregate book value, including acquired intangibles, of our invested assets and the contract purchase price of our assets.  Further, our Real Estate Managers will receive fees based on the gross income from properties under management and may also receive market-based leasing and construction management fees.  Other parties related to, or affiliated with, our Business Manager or Real Estate Managers, including Inland Securities Corporation, may also receive fees or cost reimbursements from us.  These compensation arrangements may cause these entities to take or not take certain actions.  For example, these

 

126


 

Table of Contents

 

arrangements may provide an incentive for our Business Manager to: (1) borrow more money than prudent to increase the amount we can invest; or (2) retain instead of sell assets, even if our stockholders may be better served by sale or other disposition of the assets.  Further, the fact that we will pay the Business Manager an acquisition fee based on the contract purchase price of an asset may cause our Business Manager to negotiate a higher price for an asset than we otherwise would, or to purchase assets that may not otherwise be in our best interests.  Ultimately, the interests of these parties in receiving fees may conflict with the interest of our stockholders in earning income on their investment in our common stock.

 

We will rely on entities affiliated with IREIC to identify real estate assets.

 

We will rely, in part, on IREA and other affiliates of IREIC to identify suitable investment opportunities for us.  Other public or private programs sponsored by IREIC or IPCC, including IRC, Inland American and Inland Diversified, also rely on these entities to identify potential investments.  These entities have, in some cases, rights of first refusal or other pre-emptive rights to the properties that IREA identifies.  Our right to acquire properties identified by IREA will be subject to the exercise of any prior rights vested in these entities.  We may not, therefore, be presented with opportunities to acquire properties that we otherwise would be interested in acquiring.  See “Conflicts of Interest — Allocation of Investment Opportunities” for additional discussion regarding the rights vested in other IREIC-sponsored entities.

 

Our properties may compete with the properties owned by other programs previously sponsored by IREIC or IPCC.

 

Certain IREIC- or IPCC-sponsored programs own and manage the type of properties that we intend to own, including in the same geographical areas. Therefore, our properties, especially those located in the same geographical area, may compete for tenants or purchasers with other properties owned and managed by other IREIC- or IPCC-sponsored programs. Persons performing services for our Real Estate Managers may face conflicts of interest when evaluating tenant leasing opportunities for our properties and other properties owned and managed by IREIC- or IPCC-sponsored programs, and these conflicts of interest may have an adverse impact on our ability to attract and retain tenants.  In addition, a conflict could arise in connection with the resale of properties in the event that we and another IREIC- or IPCC-sponsored program were to attempt to sell similar properties at the same time, including in particular in the event another IREIC- or IPCC-sponsored program engages in a liquidity event at approximately the same time as us, thus impacting our ability to sell the property or complete a proposed liquidity event.

 

Inland Securities Corporation, the dealer manager of this offering, is an affiliate of IREIC.

 

Inland Securities Corporation is an affiliate of IREIC and is not, therefore, independent. Thus, investors will not have the benefit of an independent due diligence review and investigation of the type normally performed by unaffiliated, independent underwriters in securities offerings. Further, the agreement with Inland Securities, including fees and expenses payable thereunder, was not negotiated at arm’s length.

 

We have the same legal counsel as our dealer manager and certain of its affiliates.

 

Our legal counsel also serves as the legal counsel to Inland Securities Corporation and from time to time other entities that are affiliated with our sponsor. Under applicable legal ethics rules, our counsel may be precluded from representing us due to a conflict of interest between us and our dealer manager or any of those other entities. If any situation arises in which our interests are in conflict with those of our

 

127


 

Table of Contents

 

dealer manager or its affiliates, we would be required to retain additional counsel and may incur additional fees and expenses.

 

Policies and Procedures with Respect to Related Party Transactions

 

We have adopted a conflicts of interest policy, which prohibits us from engaging in the following types of transactions with IREIC-affiliated entities:

 

·               purchasing real estate assets from, or selling real estate assets to, any IREIC-affiliated entities (excluding circumstances where an entity affiliated with IREIC, such as IREA, enters into a purchase agreement to acquire a property and then assigns the purchase agreement to us);

 

·               making loans to, or borrowing money from, any IREIC-affiliated entities (excluding expense advancements under existing agreements and the deposit of monies in any banking institution affiliated with IREIC); and

 

·               investing in joint ventures with any IREIC-affiliated entities.

 

This policy will not impact agreements or relationships between us and IREIC and its affiliates, including, for example, agreements with our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and Inland Securities.

 

Dedicated Acquisitions Capability

 

In addition to opportunities made available to us by IREA, our Business Manager will employ a person or persons exclusively focused on identifying and acquiring real estate assets for us.  Any opportunities identified by our Business Manager will be presented only to us, and will not be subject to rights of first refusal previously granted to other programs sponsored by IREIC or its affiliates.

 

Allocation of Investment Opportunities

 

We will rely, in part, on IREA and other affiliates of IREIC to identify suitable investment opportunities for us.  The process by which investment opportunities will be allocated among us and other public or private programs sponsored by IREIC or IPCC is based on contractual rights of first refusal held by certain of these other programs.  More specifically, each investment opportunity identified by IREA will be allocated first to the IREIC-sponsored program that has a right of first refusal to acquire the subject type of property; if that program passes on the opportunity, the opportunity will be allocated to the IREIC-sponsored program with the subsequent right of first refusal, and so forth.  For example, IREA has granted IRC a right of first refusal to acquire shopping centers and single-user retail properties located within a 400 mile radius of Inland’s headquarters, that IREA identifies, acquires or obtains the right to acquire.  IREA has granted Inland American a right of first refusal to acquire all other properties and any REITs or real estate operating companies that IREA identifies, acquires or obtains the right to acquire, as well as the right to acquire any properties that IRC decides not pursue, and has granted Inland Diversified a right of first refusal to acquire all real estate assets, other than real estate operating companies, that Inland American decides not pursue.  IREA will present an investment opportunity to us only if, and after, each of these other entities, as appropriate, has passed on the opportunity.  Our right to acquire properties identified by IREA therefore will be subject to the exercise of any prior rights vested in these other entities.

The directors, including the independent directors, have a duty to ensure that this method of allocating investment opportunities is applied fairly to the company.

 

Independent Directors

 

In order to reduce the risks created by conflicts of interest, our charter requires our board to be comprised of a majority of persons who are independent directors. A majority of the independent directors must approve matters relating to or act upon:

 

·              any transfer or sale of our sponsor’s initial investment in us; provided however, our sponsor may not sell its initial investment while it remains our sponsor, but our sponsor may transfer the shares to an affiliate;

 

·              the requirement that a majority of directors and of independent directors review and ratify the charter at or before the commencement of this offering;

 

·              the duty of the board to establish and review written policies on investments and borrowing and to monitor our and our Business Manager’s investment operations and performance to assure that those policies are in the best interests of our stockholders;

 

·              transactions, including sales and leases, loans and investments, involving our sponsor, the Business Manager, any Real Estate Manager, a director or any affiliate thereof;

 

·              the business management agreement;

 

·               liability and indemnification of our directors, Business Manager and its affiliates;

 

·              fees, compensation and expenses, including organization and offering expense reimbursements, acquisition fees and expenses, total operating expenses, real estate commissions, incentive fees, and compensation to our Business Manager;

 

·               real property appraisals;

 

·               the restrictions and procedures relating to annual and special meetings of stockholders;  and

 

·               the requirements of any distribution reinvestment plan that the board establishes, relating to periodic distribution of certain material information to stockholders and opportunity for participating stockholders to withdraw.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

 

Investment Objectives

 

Our board of directors will be responsible for implementing our investment objectives and policies. Our investment objectives generally are:

 

·              to preserve and protect our stockholders’ investments;

 

·              to acquire quality commercial real estate assets that generate, over time, sufficient cash flow from operations to fund sustainable and predictable distributions to our stockholders; and

 

·              to realize capital appreciation through the potential sale of our assets or other liquidity events, as described in this prospectus.

 

During the offering, we will supplement this prospectus as soon as reasonably practicable to describe any material changes to these investment objectives as well as our investment policies, and the methods for implementing them.  We will deliver this supplement to our stockholders once it has been filed with the SEC.  Following the offering, we will notify our stockholders of any of these changes in a report filed with the SEC on either Form 8-K, Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as appropriate.  We cannot guarantee that we will achieve any of our investment objectives.

 

Investment Strategy

 

We intend to acquire the following types of commercial real estate:

 

·               Retail properties. The retail sector is comprised of five main property types: neighborhood retail, community centers, regional centers, super-regional centers and single-tenant stores. Location, convenience, accessibility and tenant mix are generally considered to be among the key criteria for successful retail investments. Retail leases will tend to range from three to five years for small tenants and ten to fifteen years for large anchor tenants. Leases, particularly for anchor tenants, may include a base payment plus a percentage of retail sales. Income and population density are generally considered to be key drivers of local retail demand.

 

We intend to invest in necessity and grocery-anchored shopping centers which generally fall in the category of neighborhood retail or community centers.  We believe necessity and grocery-anchored retail is one of the more stable asset classes.  Necessity- and grocery-oriented tenants generally experience a consistent consumer demand for goods and services in both economic upturns and downturns.

 

·              Office buildings. Office properties are generally categorized based upon location, including whether located within central business districts, or “CBDs,” or suburbs, and general quality and size, ranging from Class A properties which are generally large-scale buildings of the highest-quality to Class C buildings which are below investment grade. We intend to invest in Class A or B office properties that we believe enjoy sufficient transportation access or are located within well-established suburban office and business parks or CBDs. We expect the duration of our office leases to be between five to ten years.

Table of Contents

 

·              Multi-family properties.  Multi-family properties are generally defined as those having five or more dwelling units that are part of a single complex and offered for rental use as opposed to detached single-family residential properties. There are three main types of multi-family properties: garden-style (mostly one-story apartments); low-rise; and high-rise. The better performing properties typically are located in urban markets or locations with strong employment and demographic dynamics. We plan to invest in multi-family properties that are located in or near employment centers that we believe have favorable potential for employment growth and conveniently situated with access to transportation and retail and service amenities.

 

·              Industrial/distribution and warehouse facilities. Industrial properties are generally categorized as warehouse/distribution centers, research and development facilities, flex space or manufacturing. The performance of an industrial property typically depends on its proximity to economic centers and the movement of trade and goods. In addition, leases with tenants of industrial properties typically utilize a triple-net structure under which a tenant is generally responsible for paying property operating expenses in addition to base rent, which mitigates the risks associated with rising expenses. We intend to invest in industrial properties that are located in major U.S. distribution hubs and near transportation modes such as port facilities, airports, rail lines and major highway systems.

 

We also may purchase single-tenant, net leased properties in each of these four asset classes.  The leases for these properties generally will be either double-net or triple-net.  Double-net leases typically require the tenant to pay the costs of insurance and real estate taxes, but the owner remains responsible for maintaining the roof and structure of the property.  Triple-net leases, in contrast, typically require the tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property, such as maintenance, insurance, taxes, structural repairs and all other operating and capital expenses.  A third type of net lease, an “absolute triple-net lease,” also known as a bond lease, requires the tenant to bear every real estate risk related to the property, including the obligation to rebuild after a casualty, regardless of the adequacy of insurance proceeds, and to pay rent after partial or full condemnation.

 

We may purchase existing or newly-constructed properties as well as properties that are under development or construction, including those where development has not yet commenced.  In the case of development properties, we will likely partner with a third party having development expertise or condition acquisition of the property on development activities being complete.  In all cases, we may acquire or develop properties directly, by purchasing the property, also known as a “fee interest,” or through joint ventures, including joint ventures in which we do not own a controlling interest.    We also may invest in real estate-related equity securities of both publicly traded and private real estate companies, as well as commercial mortgage-backed securities

 

Although we expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from this offering to acquire commercial real estate located throughout the United States, we will not focus on any one particular geographic location.  We will, however, seek to diversify our portfolio both by property type and location in order to reduce the risk of reliance on a particular property type, location or tenant.  Our ability to achieve this objective, however, will depend on the amount of net proceeds available for us to invest.  Further, market conditions may dictate that we focus on a particular property type or location.  We generally will endeavor to acquire multiple properties within the same major metropolitan market to realize management efficiencies.

 

We are not specifically limited in the number or size of the real estate assets that we may acquire, or on the percentage of net proceeds of this offering that we may invest in a single asset. The number and

 

132


 

Table of Contents

 

mix of assets we acquire depends upon real estate and market conditions and other circumstances existing at the time we are acquiring our assets and the amount of net proceeds we raise in this offering.  See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Offering.”

 

Focus on “Core” Real Estate Assets

 

We intend to focus primarily on “core” real estate assets within the property types described above.  “Core” real estate assets are those assets that typically satisfy some, but not necessarily all, of the following criteria:

 

·              properties located within major regional markets or accelerating secondary markets;

 

·              properties with above-market occupancy rates, with leases that provide for market rental rates and that have staggered maturity dates; and

 

·              properties that have anchor tenants with strong credit ratings.

 

Core real estate assets also typically provide predictable, steady cash flow and have a lower risk profile than non-core real estate assets.

 

The Inland Platform — The Inland Track Record

 

Our Business Manager, a wholly owned subsidiary of IREIC, will have the authority, subject to the direction and approval of our board of directors, to make all of our investment decisions.  We believe that our Business Manager’s affiliation with Inland, which has more than forty years of experience in acquiring and managing real estate assets, will benefit us as we pursue and execute our investment objectives and strategy.

 

We believe our relationship with Inland provides us with various benefits, including:

 

·              Experienced Management Team — Inland’s management team has substantial experience in all aspects of acquiring, owning, managing and operating commercial real estate and other real estate assets across diverse types of real estate assets, as well as a broad range of experience in financing real estate assets.  As of June 30, 2012, Inland cumulatively owned properties located in forty-seven states and managed assets with a book value exceeding $20.2 billion.

 

·              Expertise with Core Real Estate Assets — Each of the REITs previously sponsored by IREIC, including most recently Inland American and Inland Diversified, own or are acquiring portfolios that contain core real estate assets.  For example, as of June 30, 2012, Inland American owned, directly or indirectly through joint ventures in which it has a controlling interest, 938 properties, representing approximately 48.1 million square feet of retail, industrial and office properties, 9,563 multi-family (including student housing) units and 17,899 lodging rooms.  As of the same date, Inland Diversified, which was formed in 2009, owned, directly or indirectly, eighty-four properties, representing approximately 7.2 million square feet of retail and office properties and 420 multi-family units.  Our  management, including Ms. McGuinness, Ms. Matlin, Mr. Lichterman, Ms. Hrtanek, Mr. Sajdak and Ms. McNeeley, among others, will be able to draw on Inland’s expertise in acquiring and managing a diverse portfolio of properties.

Table of Contents

 

·              Seasoned Acquisition Team —IREA and other affiliates of IREIC will assist us in identifying potential acquisition opportunities, negotiating contracts related thereto and acquiring real estate assets on our behalf.  Since January 2005, the individuals performing services for these entities have closed over 1,100 transactions in the aggregate, involving real estate with an aggregate purchase price that exceeds $17 billion.

 

·              Strong Industry Relationships — We believe that Inland’s extensive network of industry relationships with the real estate brokerage, development and investor communities will enable us to successfully execute our strategies. These relationships will augment our ability to identify acquisitions in off-market transactions outside of competitive marketing processes, capitalize on opportunities and capture repeat business and transaction activity. In addition, Inland’s strong relationships with the tenant and leasing brokerage communities will aid in attracting and retaining tenants.

 

·             Centralized Resources — Substantially all of Inland’s skilled personnel, specializing in areas such as real estate management, leasing, marketing, human resources, cash management, risk management, tax and internal audit, are based at Inland’s corporate headquarters located in a suburb of Chicago.

 

See “Conflicts of Interest” for a discussion of certain risks and potential disadvantages of our relationship with Inland.

 

Real Estate as a Diversifying Asset Class

 

Historically, investments in real estate have offered attractive returns compared to bonds, and lower volatility compared to equities, which makes it an attractive asset class to consider as a component of a diversified, long-term investment portfolio.

 

Institutional investors like pension funds and endowments have increased the amount allocated to real estate.  For example, various surveys report that some of the largest pension plans in the U.S. are targeting a real estate allocation of 10% to 12% of their overall investment portfolios. Individual investors may also benefit by adding a real estate component to their investment portfolios. You and your financial advisor should determine whether investing in real estate would benefit your investment portfolio.

 

Investing in REITs whose shares are listed on a national securities exchange is one alternative for investing in real estate.  Shares of listed REITs, however, generally fluctuate in value with the stock market as a whole. Alternatively, a significant number of public and corporate pension plan sponsors as well as endowments, foundations and other institutions have allocated a portion of their portfolios, either through separate account arrangements or commingled funds, to investment vehicles that own real estate and do not have their equity interests listed for trading on a national securities exchange.

 

These types of unlisted or non-traded investment vehicles (particularly those held by institutional investors) generally differ from listed REITs in that the value per share is typically based directly on professional assessments of the fair value of the real estate owned by the entity. To determine the per share estimated value of our shares, we will engage an independent valuation expert to value our real estate assets and related liabilities.  In contrast, shares of listed REITs are priced by the public trading market, which generally causes a company’s stock price to fluctuate based on factors such as supply (number of sellers) and demand (number of buyers) of shares as well as other market forces.

 

Industry benchmarks that track the value of unlisted investments in real estate as an asset class have demonstrated a low correlation with the benchmarks for traditional asset classes, such as stocks and

 

134


 

Table of Contents

 

bonds. Academic and empirical studies have shown that utilizing lower correlated assets in a diversified, long-term investment portfolio can increase portfolio efficiency and may generate higher total returns while decreasing overall risk because the various asset classes may react to market conditions differently.

 

We believe that individual investors can benefit by adding unlisted investments in real estate as a component to their investment portfolios. Accordingly, our objective is to offer a similar investment option to a broad universe of investors through our continuous public offering in an unlisted REIT.

 

Investment Policies

 

Due Diligence and Underwriting Process

 

We will consider a number of factors in evaluating whether to acquire any particular asset, including: geographic location and property type; creditworthiness of the tenants or potential tenants; condition and use of the assets; historical performance; current and projected cash flow; potential for capital appreciation; potential for economic growth in the area where the assets are located; presence of existing and potential competition; prospects for liquidity through sale, financing or refinancing of the assets; and tax considerations.  Because the factors considered, including the specific weight we place on each factor, vary for each potential investment, we will not assign a specific weight or level of importance to any particular factor. Our obligation to close on the purchase of any investment generally will be conditioned upon the delivery and verification of certain documents from the seller, including, where available and appropriate: plans and specifications; environmental reports; surveys; evidence of marketable title subject to any liens and encumbrances as are acceptable to the Business Manager; audited financial statements covering recent operations of properties having operating histories unless those statements are not required to be filed with the SEC and delivered to stockholders; and title and liability insurance policies.

 

With respect to the creditworthiness of the tenants, our Business Manager’s underwriting process will include an analysis of the financial condition of each potential tenant or guarantor, including income statements, balance sheets, net worth, cash flow, business plans, as well as the operating history of the property with the tenant, the tenant’s market share and track record within its industry segment, the general health and outlook of the tenant’s industry segment, the strength of the tenant’s management team and the terms and length of the lease at the time of acquisition.  In addition, we may decide to obtain guarantees of leases by the corporate parent of a potential tenant, in which case our Business Manager will analyze the creditworthiness of the guarantor. In many instances, especially in sale-leaseback situations, where we are acquiring a property from a company and simultaneously leasing it back to the company under a long-term lease, we will meet with the seller’s management to discuss the company’s business plan and strategy.   A tenant will be considered “creditworthy” if it has an “investment grade” debt rating by Moody’s of Baa3 or better, credit rating by Standard & Poor’s of BBB— or better, or the lease payments are guaranteed by a company with these ratings. Changes in tenant credit ratings, coupled with future acquisition and disposition activity, may increase or decrease our concentration of creditworthy tenants.

 

In addition, our Business Manager or its affiliates also will review the physical condition of each property and conduct a market evaluation to determine the likelihood of replacing the rental stream if the tenant defaults. Our Business Manager also generally will conduct, or require the seller to conduct, Phase I or similar environmental site assessments in an attempt to identify potential environmental liabilities associated with a property.  Further, our Business Manager typically will conduct, or require the seller to conduct, a Phase II environmental site assessment in the event that the results of the Phase I assessment warrant further review.  If potential environmental liabilities are identified, we generally will want the

 

135


 

Table of Contents

 

seller to resolve the issues before we acquire the property, or we may seek protection in the form of post-closing indemnities or environmental insurance.

 

We may obtain an appraisal prepared by an appraiser independent of our Business Manager for each property we acquire.  The contractual purchase price (including acquisition expenses and any indebtedness assumed or incurred in respect of the investment but excluding acquisition fees and financing fees) for a property we acquire will not exceed its appraised value. The appraisals may take into consideration, among other things, market rents, the terms and conditions of the particular lease transaction, the quality of the tenant’s credit, comparable sales and replacement cost. The appraised value may be greater than the construction cost or the replacement cost of a property.  Operating results of properties and other collateral may be examined as part of the appraisal, to determine whether or not projected income levels are likely to be met.

 

Appraisals are only estimates of value.  We will not necessarily obtain appraisals or fairness opinions to acquire properties through joint ventures.  We will maintain copies of all appraisals in our records for at least five years.  These copies will be available for review by our stockholders.

 

Joint Ventures and Other Co-Ownership Arrangements

 

In all cases, we may acquire or develop real estate assets directly or through joint ventures, including joint ventures in which we do not own a controlling interest.  We will pursue acquiring and developing real estate assets through joint ventures where a third party controls a particular acquisition or when the third party has special knowledge of the particular asset(s).  We may make these investments to diversify our portfolio in terms of geographic region or property type, to access capital of third parties and to enable us to make investments sooner than would be possible otherwise.  In determining whether to invest in a particular joint venture, our Business Manager will evaluate the real estate assets that the joint venture owns or is being formed to own under the same criteria described elsewhere in this prospectus for selecting our investments.

 

The terms of any particular joint venture will be established on a case-by-case basis considering all relevant facts, including the nature and attributes of the potential joint venture partner, the proposed structure of the joint venture, the nature of the operations, the liabilities and assets associated with the proposed joint venture and the size of our interest in the venture.  Other factors we will consider include: (1) our ability to manage and control the joint venture; (2) our ability to exit the joint venture; and (3) our ability to control transfers of interests held by other partners to the venture.   Our interests may not be totally aligned with our partner.  See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business” for additional discussion of these risks.

 

If we enter into a material joint venture to acquire a specific real estate asset or assets, we will supplement this prospectus to disclose the terms of the transaction.

 

Borrowing Policies

 

In some instances, we borrow money to acquire real estate assets either at closing or at sometime thereafter.  These borrowings may take the form of temporary, interim or permanent financing from banks, institutional investors and other third party lenders.  These borrowings generally will be secured solely by a mortgage on one or more of our properties but also may require us to be directly or indirectly (through a guarantee) liable for the borrowings.  We may borrow at either fixed or variable interest rates and on terms that require us to repay the principal on a typical, level schedule or at one-time in “balloon” payments.  We also may establish a revolving line of credit for short-term cash management and bridge

 

136


 

Table of Contents

 

financing purposes.  See “Risk Factors — Risks Associated with Debt Financing” for additional discussion regarding our borrowings.

 

We expect that our aggregate borrowings, secured by all of our assets, will average approximately 55% of the total fair market value of our assets.  For these purposes, the fair market value of each asset will be equal to the greater of the purchase price paid for the asset or the value reported in a more recent appraisal of the asset.  This policy, however, will not apply to individual assets and only will apply once we have ceased raising capital under this or any subsequent offering and invested substantially all of our capital. As a result, we expect to borrow more than 55% of the contract purchase price of each real estate asset we acquire to the extent our board of directors determines that borrowing these amounts is prudent.

 

Further, our charter limits the amount we may borrow, in the aggregate, to 300% of our net assets, equivalent to 75% of the cost of our assets, unless our board (including a majority of the independent directors) determines that a higher level is appropriate.  For these purposes, net assets are defined as total assets, other than intangibles, at cost before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves less total liabilities, calculated at least quarterly on a basis consistently applied.  Any borrowings over this limit must be approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report along with the justification for exceeding the limit.

 

We may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, options or repurchase agreements, to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets. To the extent that we use derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate fluctuations, we will be exposed to credit risk, basis risk and legal enforceability risks. In this context, credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. We intend to manage credit risk by dealing only with major financial institutions that have high credit ratings. Basis risk occurs when the index upon which the contract is based is more or less variable than the index upon which the hedged asset or liability is based, thereby making the hedge less effective. We intend to manage basis risk by matching, to a reasonable extent, the contract index to the index upon which the hedged asset or liability is based. Finally, legal enforceability risks encompass general contractual risks including the risk that the counterparty will breach the terms of, or fail to perform its obligations under, the derivative contract. We intend to manage legal enforceability risks by ensuring, to the best of our ability, that we contract with reputable counterparties and that each counterparty complies with the terms and conditions of the derivative contract.

 

Other Policies.  Pending investment in real estate assets, we will invest monies so as to allow us to qualify as a REIT.  We will seek highly liquid investments that provide for safety of principal and may include, but are not limited to, commercial mortgage-backed securities such as bonds issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, or “GNMA,” and real estate mortgage investment conduits also known as “REMICs.”  See “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences —REIT Qualification.”

 

We have no current plans to invest the net proceeds of the offering, other than on a temporary basis, in non-real-estate-related investments.

 

Investments in Securities

 

We may invest in common and preferred real estate-related equity securities of both publicly traded and private real estate companies. Real estate-related equity securities are generally unsecured and also may be subordinated to other obligations of the issuer. Our investments in real estate-related equity securities will involve special risks relating to the particular issuer of the equity securities, including the financial condition and business outlook of the issuer. We may acquire real estate-related securities

through tender offers, negotiated or otherwise, in which we solicit a target company’s stockholders to purchase their securities.

 

We may also make investments in CMBS, which are securities that evidence interests in, or are secured by, a single commercial mortgage loan or a pool of commercial mortgage loans. CMBS are generally pass-through certificates that represent beneficial ownership interests in common law trusts whose assets consist of defined portfolios of one or more commercial mortgage loans. They are typically issued in multiple tranches whereby the more senior classes are entitled to priority distributions from the trust’s income. Losses and other shortfalls from expected amounts to be received on the mortgage pool are borne by the most subordinate classes, which receive payments only after the more senior classes have received all principal and interest to which they are entitled. CMBS are subject to all of the risks of the underlying mortgage loans. We may invest in investment grade and non-investment grade CMBS classes.

 

We expect to pay third-party brokerage commissions on any purchase or sale of marketable securities. We will not, however, pay acquisition fees for, or reimburse acquisition expenses incurred by, IREIC and its affiliates in connection with an investment in marketable securities.

 

International Investments

 

We do not intend to invest in properties or real estate assets located outside of the United States. We may, however, invest in the securities of real estate companies owning assets located outside of the United States.

 

Development and Construction of Properties

 

From time to time, we may construct and develop real estate assets or render services in connection with these activities.  We may be able to reduce overall purchase costs by constructing and developing property as opposed to purchasing a finished property.  Developing and constructing properties will, however, expose us to risks such as cost overruns, carrying costs of projects under construction or development, availability and costs of materials and labor, weather conditions and government regulation.  See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate” for additional discussion of these risks.  To comply with the applicable requirements under federal income tax law, we intend to limit our construction and development activities to performing oversight and review functions, including reviewing the construction and tenant improvement design proposals, negotiating and contracting for feasibility studies and supervising compliance with local, state or federal laws and regulations; negotiating contracts; overseeing construction; and obtaining financing.  In addition, we may use taxable REIT subsidiaries or retain independent contractors to carry out these oversight and review functions.  We intend to retain independent contractors to perform the actual construction work.

 

Disposition of Real Estate Assets

 

To maintain our status as a REIT and as part of our business plan, we intend to hold our assets for an extended period of time.  Circumstances may arise, however, that could result in us selling an asset or assets earlier than contemplated.  In determining to sell or hold an asset, we will consider prevailing economic and market conditions, among other things.  See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate” for additional discussion regarding the sale of assets.  For discussion regarding the compensation that we may pay to our Business Manager upon a disposition of assets, see “Compensation Table.”

Liquidity Events

 

Our board will determine when, and if, we should pursue a liquidity event, but does not anticipate evaluating any liquidity event, including a listing on a national securities exchange, until at least 2017.  As defined in our management agreements, a “liquidity event” means the following:

 

·              listing our shares, or the shares of one of our subsidiaries, on a national securities exchange;

 

·              selling all or substantially all of our assets; or

 

·              entering into a merger, reorganization, business combination, share exchange or acquisition, in which our stockholders receive cash or the securities of another issuer that are listed on a national securities exchange.

 

If we pursue listing our shares on a national security exchange, we may be able to increase our size, portfolio diversity, stockholder liquidity and access to capital.  There is no assurance however that we will satisfy the conditions to list or that we will be approved to list.  For discussion regarding the compensation that we may pay to our Business Manager upon a liquidity event, see “Compensation Table.”

 

Competition

 

The commercial real estate market is highly competitive. We will compete in all of our markets with other owners and operators of commercial properties. We will compete based on a number of factors that include location, rental rates, security, suitability of the property’s design to tenants’ needs and the manner in which the property is operated and marketed. The number of competing properties in a particular market could have a material effect on a property’s occupancy levels, rental rates and operating expenses.

 

We will compete with many third parties engaged in real estate investment activities including other REITs, including other REITs previously sponsored by IREIC, specialty finance companies, savings and loan associations, banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, mutual funds, institutional investors, investment banking firms, lenders, hedge funds, governmental bodies and other entities.  There are also other REITs with asset acquisition objectives similar to ours and others may be organized in the future. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business” for additional discussion.  Some of these competitors, including larger REITs, have substantially greater marketing and financial resources than we will have and generally may be able to accept or manage more risk than we can prudently manage, including risks with respect to the creditworthiness of tenants. In addition, these same entities seek financing through the same channels that we do. Therefore, we will compete for investors and funding in a market where funds for real estate investment may decrease, or grow less than the underlying demand.

 

Competition may limit the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us and result in higher prices, lower yields and a narrower spread of yields over our borrowing costs, making it more difficult for us to acquire new investments on attractive terms.  In addition, competition for desirable investments could delay the investment of net proceeds from this offering in desirable assets, which may in turn reduce our cash flow from operations and negatively affect our ability to make or maintain distributions.

Insurance

 

Our properties will have comprehensive liability, rental loss and all-risk property casualty insurance, either purchased by us or provided by tenants under their leases, covering our real property investments, with commercially reasonable deductibles, limits and policy specifications customarily carried for similar properties.  There are, however, certain types of losses that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable, such as losses due to floods, riots, terrorism or acts of war.  If an uninsured loss occurs, we could lose our investment in the property.  See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate” for additional discussion regarding insurance.

 

We, along with the other REITs sponsored by IREIC, are members of a limited liability company formed as an insurance association captive.  This entity manages insurance coverage for its members.  The entity oversees the purchase of one or more insurance policies from third party insurers, covering the properties owned by the members.  Portions of these insurance policies are funded or reimbursed by insurance policies purchased from the captive entity by the members. The premium associated with the non-catastrophic property and casualty insurance policies purchased from the captive are divided among each of the members based upon a determination by a third-party, independent actuary of the losses, loss reserves and loss expenses that each member is expected to incur, and a proportional allocation of associated operating costs.  The captive uses its capital to pay a portion of certain property and casualty losses and general liability losses suffered by a member under the policies purchased by the captive subject to deductibles applicable to each occurrence.  These losses are paid by the captive up to and including a certain dollar limit, after which the losses are covered by the third party insurer.  Future contributions to capital will be made in the form of premium payments determined for each member based on its individualized loss experiences as well as the level of deductible each member desires.

 

Conservation Initiatives

 

Inland is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, a nonprofit organization comprised of corporations, contractors, developers, manufacturers and retailers working to advance buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work.

 

One of our goals is to promote cost-effective, environmentally-friendly practices at our properties and to increase energy efficiency across our entire portfolio of assets in order to reduce costs.  We intend to employ sustainability initiatives that include recycling, installing efficient outdoor lighting and utilizing industry-described “green” roofs that generate energy via solar panels and provide superior insulation for heating and cooling efficiencies.  In addition, we expect to adopt eco-friendly practices in the operation of our business and in connection with our offering, including using recycled materials and soy-based inks in the production of marketing materials.

 

Government Regulations

 

Our business is subject to many laws and governmental regulations.  Changes in these laws and regulations, or their interpretation by agencies and courts, occur frequently.

 

Americans With Disabilities Act.  Under the Americans With Disabilities Act, or ADA, all public accommodations and commercial facilities are required to meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons.  These requirements became effective in 1992.  Complying with the ADA requirements could require us to remove access barriers.  Failing to comply could result in the imposition of fines by the federal government or an award of damages to private litigants.  Although we intend to acquire properties that substantially comply with these requirements, we may incur additional costs to comply with the ADA.  In addition, a number of additional federal, state and local laws may

 

140


 

Table of Contents

 

require us to modify any properties we purchase, or may restrict further renovations thereof, with respect to access by disabled persons.  Additional legislation could impose financial obligations or restrictions with respect to access by disabled persons.  Although we believe that these costs will not have a material adverse effect on us, if required changes involve a greater amount of expenditures than we currently anticipate, our ability to make expected distributions could be adversely affected.

 

Environmental Matters.  Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be held liable for the costs of removing or remediating hazardous or toxic substances.  These laws often impose clean-up responsibility and liability without regard to whether the owner or operator was responsible for, or even knew of, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances.  The costs of investigating, removing or remediating these substances may be substantial, and the presence of these substances may adversely affect our ability to rent or sell the property or to borrow using the property as collateral and may expose us to liability resulting from any release of or exposure to these substances.  If we arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances at another location, we may be liable for the costs of removing or remediating these substances at the disposal or treatment facility, whether or not the facility is owned or operated by us.  We may be subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from a site that we own or operate.  Certain environmental laws also impose liability in connection with the handling of or exposure to asbestos-containing materials, pursuant to which third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury associated with asbestos-containing materials and other hazardous or toxic substances.  See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate” for additional discussion regarding environmental matters.

 

Other Regulations.  The properties we acquire likely will be subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as zoning and state and local fire and life safety requirements.  Failure to comply with these requirements could result in the imposition of fines by governmental authorities or awards of damages to private litigants.  We generally will acquire properties that are in material compliance with all regulatory requirements.  However, there can be no assurance that these requirements will not be changed or that new requirements will not be imposed which would require significant unanticipated expenditures by us and could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Investment Company Act of 1940

 

We intend to engage primarily in the business of investing in real estate and to conduct our operations so that neither the company nor any of its subsidiaries is required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (referred to herein as the “Investment Company Act”). Under the Investment Company Act, in relevant part, a company is an “investment company” if:

 

·              under Section 3(a)(1)(A), it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities; or

 

·              under Section 3(a)(1)(C), it is engaged, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns, or proposes to acquire, “investment securities” having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis, which we refer to as the “40% test.”  The term “investment securities” generally includes all securities except government securities and securities of our majority-owned subsidiaries that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the

 

141


 

Table of Contents

 

exemption from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.

 

We intend to acquire real estate and real estate-related assets directly, primarily by acquiring fee interests in real property.  We may also (i) purchase common and preferred real estate-related equity securities of both publicly traded and private companies, including REITs and pass-through entities, that own real property, (ii) purchase commercial mortgage-backed securities, or “CMBS,” or other mortgage-related instruments and (iii) invest in real property indirectly through investments in joint venture entities, including joint venture entities in which we do not own a controlling interest.  We anticipate that our assets generally will be held in wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries of the company, each formed to hold a particular asset.

 

We intend to conduct our operations so that the company and most, if not all, of its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries will comply with the 40% test. We will continuously monitor our holdings on an ongoing basis to determine compliance with this test. We expect that most, if not all, of the company’s wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries will not be relying on exemptions under either Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act. Consequently, interests in these subsidiaries (which are expected to constitute a substantial majority of our assets) generally will not constitute “investment securities.” Accordingly, we believe that the company and most, if not all, of its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries will not be considered investment companies under Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act.

 

In addition, we believe that neither the company nor any of its wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries will be considered an investment company under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act because they will not engage primarily or hold themselves out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Rather, the company and its subsidiaries will be primarily engaged in non-investment company businesses related to real estate. Consequently, the company and its subsidiaries expect to be able to conduct their respective operations such that none of them will be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

 

We will determine whether an entity is a majority-owned subsidiary of our company.  The Investment Company Act defines a majority-owned subsidiary of a person as a company 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of which are owned by such person, or by another company which is a majority-owned subsidiary of such person. The Investment Company Act defines voting securities as any security presently entitling the owner or holder thereof to vote for the election of directors of a company. We treat entities in which we own at least a majority of the outstanding voting securities as majority-owned subsidiaries for purposes of the 40% test. We have not requested that the SEC or its staff approve our treatment of any entity as a majority-owned subsidiary, and neither has done so.  If the SEC or its staff was to disagree with our treatment of one or more subsidiary entities as majority-owned subsidiaries, we would need to adjust our strategy and our assets in order to continue to pass the 40% test. Any adjustment in our strategy could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

If that the company or any of its wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries would ever inadvertently fall within one of the definitions of “investment company,” we intend to rely on the exemption provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act, which is available for entities “primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate.”  The SEC staff has taken the position that this exemption, in addition to prohibiting the issuance of certain types of securities, generally requires that at least 55% of an entity’s assets must be comprised of mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate, also known as “qualifying assets,” and at least another 25% of the entity’s assets must be comprised of additional qualifying assets or a broader category of assets that we refer to as “real estate-related assets” under the Investment Company Act (and no more

 

142


 

Table of Contents

 

than 20% of the entity’s assets may be comprised of miscellaneous assets). We will measure our 3(c)(5)(C) exemption on an unconsolidated basis.

 

We will classify our assets for purposes of our 3(c)(5)(C) exemption based upon no-action positions taken by the SEC staff and interpretive guidance provided by the SEC and its staff. These no-action positions are based on specific factual situations that may be substantially different from the factual situations we may face, and a number of these no-action positions were issued more than twenty years ago. No assurance can be given that the SEC or its staff will concur with our classification of our assets.  In addition, the SEC or its staff may, in the future, issue further guidance that may require us to re-classify our assets for purposes of the Investment Company Act. If we are required to re-classify our assets, we may no longer be in compliance with the exemption from the definition of an investment company provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act.

 

For purposes of determining whether we satisfy the 55%/25% test, we classify certain assets in which we invest as follows:

 

·              Investments in Real Property.  Based on the no-action letters issued by the SEC staff, we intend to classify our fee interests in real property, held by us directly or through our wholly owned subsidiaries or controlled subsidiaries as qualifying assets.  In addition, based on no-action letters issued by the SEC staff, we will treat our investments in joint ventures, which in turn invest in qualifying assets such as real property, as qualifying assets only if we have the right to approve major decisions by the joint venture; otherwise, they will be classified as real estate-related assets. We expect that no less than 55% of our assets will consist of investments in real property, including any joint ventures that we control.

 

·              Investments in Securities.  We will treat as real estate-related assets CMBS, debt and equity securities of non-majority owned companies primarily engaged in real estate businesses and securities issued by pass-through entities substantially all of the assets of which consist of qualifying assets or real estate-related assets.

 

Qualifying for an exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act will limit our ability to make certain investments. For example, these restrictions may limit the ability of the company and its subsidiaries to invest directly in mortgage-backed securities that represent less than the entire ownership in a pool of mortgage loans, debt and equity tranches of securitizations and certain asset-backed securities, non-controlling equity interests in real estate companies or in assets not related to real estate.

 

Although we intend to monitor our portfolio, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain this exemption from registration for our company or each of our subsidiaries.

 

A change in the value of any of our assets could negatively affect our ability to maintain our exemption from regulation under the Investment Company Act. To maintain compliance with the Section 3(c)(5)(C) exemption, we may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want to sell and may need to sell assets we would otherwise wish to retain. In addition, we may have to acquire additional assets that we might not otherwise have acquired or may have to forego opportunities to acquire assets that we would otherwise want to acquire and would be important to our investment strategy.

 

To the extent that the SEC or its staff provides more specific guidance regarding any of the matters bearing upon the definition of investment company and the exemptions to that definition, we may be required to adjust our strategy accordingly.  On August 31, 2011 the SEC issued a concept release and

 

143


 

Table of Contents

 

request for comments regarding the Section 3(c)(5)(C) exemption (Release No. IC-29778) in which it contemplated the possibility of issuing new rules or providing new interpretations of the exemption that might, among other things, define the phrase “liens on and other interests in real estate” or consider sources of income in determining a company’s “primary business.”  Any additional guidance from the SEC or its staff could provide additional flexibility to us, or it could further inhibit our ability to pursue the strategies we have chosen.

 

If we are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we would become subject to substantial regulation with respect to our capital structure (including our ability to use borrowings), management, operations, transactions with affiliated persons (as defined in the Investment Company Act), and portfolio composition, including disclosure requirements and restrictions with respect to diversification and industry concentration, and other matters.  Compliance with the Investment Company Act would, accordingly, limit our ability to make certain investments and require us to significantly restructure our business plan.  For additional discussion of the risks that we would face if we were required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business.”

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

General

 

We intend to acquire a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate located throughout the United States.  We intend to acquire retail properties, office buildings, multi-family properties and industrial/distribution and warehouse facilities.  Within these property types, we will focus primarily on “core” real estate assets, as described in the “Investment Objectives and Policies” section of this prospectus.  We also may purchase single-tenant, net-leased properties within any of these four property types.  We may purchase existing or newly-constructed properties as well as properties that are under development or construction, including those where development has not commenced.  In addition, in all cases, we may acquire properties directly, by purchasing the property, also known as a “fee interest,” or through joint ventures, including joint ventures in which we do not own a controlling interest.  We also may invest in real estate-related equity securities of both publicly traded and private real estate companies, as well as commercial mortgage-backed securities.  See “Estimated Use of Proceeds.”  We will experience a relative increase in liquidity as additional subscriptions for shares are received and a relative decrease in liquidity as net offering proceeds are used to acquire and operate properties.

 

We have not entered into any arrangements to acquire any specific assets with the net proceeds from this offering.  The number and type of real estate assets we may acquire will depend upon the number of shares sold and the resulting amount of the net proceeds available for investment.  If we are unable to raise substantially more than the minimum offering amount, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the number of investments owned and the geographic regions in which our investments are located.  Consequently, the likelihood of our profitability being affected by the performance of any one of our investments will increase.  In addition, if we are unable to raise substantial funds, our fixed operating expenses, as a percentage of gross income, will be higher, which may have a material adverse effect on our ability to pay distributions.

 

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, other than national economic conditions affecting real estate generally, that may be reasonably anticipated to have a material impact on either capital resources or the revenues or income to be derived from acquiring and operating real estate assets, other than those referred to in this prospectus.

 

Our Business Manager will establish working capital reserves from net offering proceeds, out of cash flow generated by operating assets or out of proceeds from the sale of assets.  Working capital reserves are typically utilized to fund tenant improvements, leasing commissions and major capital expenditures.  Our lenders also may require working capital reserves.

 

The net proceeds of this offering will provide funds to enable us to purchase real estate assets.  We may acquire these assets free and clear of permanent mortgage indebtedness by paying the entire purchase price in cash or equity securities, or a combination thereof, and we may selectively encumber all or certain assets.  The proceeds from any loans will be used to acquire additional real estate assets, increase cash flow and further diversify our portfolio.

 

We intend to make an election under Section 856(c) of the Code to be taxed as a REIT beginning with the tax year ending December 31, 2012 or our first year of material operations.  If we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders.  If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, without the benefit of certain relief provisions, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal

 

145


 

Table of Contents

 

income tax purposes for four years following the year in which qualification is denied.  Failing to qualify as a REIT could materially and adversely affect our net income.  We believe that we are organized and will operate in a manner that will enable us to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the tax year ending December 31, 2012 or our first year of material operations, and we intend to continue to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

 

We will monitor the various qualification tests that we must meet to maintain our status as a REIT.  Ownership of our shares will be monitored to ensure that no more 50% in value of our outstanding shares is owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time.  We also will determine, on a quarterly basis, that the gross income, asset and distribution tests as described in the section of this prospectus entitled “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences—REIT Qualification Tests” are satisfied.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal demand for funds will be to acquire real estate assets, to pay our operating expenses, including expenses associated with our real estate assets, interest on our indebtedness and to make distributions to our stockholders.  Our cash needs for acquisitions, including related capital expenditures and financings, will be funded primarily from the sale of our shares, including those offered for sale through our distribution reinvestment plan.  There may be a delay between the sale of our shares and our purchase of assets, which could result in a delay in generating returns, if any, of returns generated from our investment operations.  Our Business Manager and IREA will evaluate potential acquisitions and will engage in negotiations with sellers and lenders on our behalf.  Pending investment in real estate assets, we may decide to temporarily invest any unused proceeds from the offering in certain investments that could yield lower returns than those earned on real estate assets.  These lower returns may affect our ability to make distributions to you.

 

We will generally fund our cash needs for items other than asset acquisitions, and capital expenditures and principal payments on our indebtedness, from cash flow from operations.  We anticipate that adequate cash will be generated from operations to fund our operating and administrative expenses, interest payments on our indebtedness and the payment of distributions. However, our ability to fund our operations is subject to some uncertainties. Our ability to generate cash flow from operations is dependent on our ability to purchase assets and to attract and retain tenants and the economic and business environments of the various markets in which our properties are located. If we have not generated sufficient cash flow from our operations, we may fund our cash needs from, among other things, advances or contributions from our Business Manager or IREIC or from the cash retained by us in the case that our Business Manager defers, accrues or waives all, or a portion, of its business management fee or its right to be reimbursed for certain expenses.  We have not limited the amount of monies from any of these sources that may be used to fund cash needs.  A deferral, accrual or waiver of any fee owed to our Business Manager will have the effect of increasing cash flow from operations for the relevant period because we do not have to use cash to pay any fee or reimbursement which was deferred, accrued or waived during the relevant period.  Any fee or reimbursement that was deferred or accrued, or any amounts advanced, that we later pay or reimburse, will have the effect of reducing cash flow from operations for the applicable period in which we pay or reimburse these amounts.  Neither our Business Manager nor IREIC has any obligation to provide us with advances or contributions, and our Business Manager is not obligated to defer, accrue or waive any portion of its business management fee or reimbursements.  Further, there is no assurance that these other sources will be available to fund our cash needs.

 

Potential future sources of capital include proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from the sale of assets and undistributed funds from operations.  If

 

146


 

Table of Contents

 

necessary, we may use financings or other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures.  We have not identified any sources for these types of financings.

 

Results of Operations

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we are in our organizational and development stage and have not commenced significant operations.

 

Inflation

 

The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past three years due to the relatively low inflation rate.  We expect to include provisions in the majority of our tenant leases designed to protect us from the impact of inflation.  These provisions will include reimbursement billings for operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance.  However, increased inflation may have a more pronounced negative impact on our general and administrative expenses because these costs could increase at a rate higher than our rents.  Also, inflation may adversely affect leases with stated rent increases or limits on the tenant’s obligation to pay its share of operating expenses, which could be lower than the increase in inflation at any given time.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. Below are the accounting policies we believe will be critical once we commence principal operations. We consider these policies to be critical because they require our management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If management’s judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

 

Offering and Organizational Costs

 

Costs associated with this offering will be deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of this offering upon the sale of shares.  Formation and organizational costs will be expensed as incurred.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We will consider all demand deposits and money market accounts and all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.  We will maintain our cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions.  The combined account balances at one or more institutions may periodically exceed the FDIC insurance coverage and, as a result, there could be a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.  We believe that the risk will not be significant, as we do not anticipate the financial institutions’ non-performance.

 

147


 

Table of Contents

 

Restricted Cash and Escrows

 

Restricted cash and the offsetting liability, which will be recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, will consist of funds received from investors relating to shares of the company.  Restricted escrows will primarily consist of cash held in escrow based on lender requirements for collateral or funds to be used for the payment of insurance, real estate taxes, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and acquisition related earnouts.

 

Acquisitions

 

We will allocate the purchase price of each acquired business between tangible and intangible assets at full fair value at the date of the transaction. Such tangible and intangible assets will include land, building and improvements, acquired above market and below market leases, in-place lease value, customer relationships (if any), and any assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms. Any additional amounts will be allocated to goodwill as required, based on the remaining purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of the purchase price is an area that will require judgment and significant estimates.

 

We will expense acquisition costs of all transactions as incurred. All costs related to finding, analyzing and negotiating a transaction will be expensed as incurred as a general and administrative expense, whether or not the acquisition is completed. These expenses would include acquisition fees, if any, paid to an affiliate of our Business Manager.

 

Goodwill

 

We will evaluate goodwill for impairment at least annually. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit will be compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss will be recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill.

 

Impairment

 

We will assess the carrying values of the respective long-lived assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. If it is determined that the carrying value is not recoverable because the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed carrying value, we will be required to record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds fair value. The valuation and possible subsequent impairment of investment properties will be a significant estimate that can change based on our continuous process of analyzing each property and reviewing assumptions about uncertain inherent factors, as well as the economic condition of the property at a particular point in time.

 

We will also evaluate our equity method investments for impairment indicators. The valuation analysis considers the investment positions in relation to the underlying business and activities of our investment and identities potential declines in fair value. An impairment loss should be recognized if a decline in value of the investment has occurred that is considered to be other than temporary, without ability to recover or sustain operations that would support the value of the investment.

We will evaluate the collectability of both interest and principal of each of our notes receivable to determine whether it is impaired. A note receivable is considered to be impaired when management determines that it is probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the note receivable. When a note receivable is considered impaired, the amount of loss will be calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the note’s effective interest rate or to the fair value of the underlying collateral if the note receivable is collateral dependent.

 

Cost Capitalization and Depreciation Policies

 

Real estate acquisitions will be recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Improvements and betterment costs will be capitalized and ordinary repairs and maintenance will be expensed as incurred.

 

Depreciation expense will be computed using the straight-line method.  Buildings and improvements will be depreciated on a straight-line basis based upon estimated useful lives of thirty years for buildings and improvements, and five to fifteen years for furniture, fixtures and equipment and site improvements. Tenant improvements will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease as a component of depreciation and amortization.  Leasing fees will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease as a component of depreciation and amortization.  Loan fees will be amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the life of the related loan as a component of interest expense. The portion of the purchase price allocated to acquired above market lease costs and acquired below market lease costs will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease as an adjustment to net rental income.  Acquired in-place lease costs and other leasing costs will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the weighted-average remaining lease term as a component of amortization expense.

 

Cost capitalization and the estimate of useful lives require judgment and include significant estimates that can and do change.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

We will estimate fair value using available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, they will not necessarily be indicative of amounts that would be realized upon disposition.

 

We define fair value based on the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We will establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy will consist of three broad levels, which are described below:

 

·              Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.

 

·              Level 2 — Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

149


 

Table of Contents

 

·              Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We will commence revenue recognition on our leases based on a number of factors.  In most cases, revenue recognition under a lease will begin when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset.  Generally, this will occur on the lease commencement date.  The determination of who is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins.  If we are the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements, then the leased asset is the finished space and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete.

 

If we conclude we are not the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements (the lessee is the owner), then the leased asset will be the unimproved space and any tenant improvement allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives which reduces revenue recognized over the term of the lease.  In these circumstances, we will begin revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for the lessee to construct their own improvements.  We will consider a number of different factors to evaluate whether it or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes.  The determination of who owns the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, is subject to significant judgment.

 

We will recognize rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of accounts and rents receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Due to the impact of the straight-line basis, rental income generally will be greater than the cash collected in the early years and decrease in the later years of a lease.  We periodically will review the collectability of outstanding receivables.  Allowances will be taken for those balances that we deem to be uncollectible, including any amounts relating to straight-line rent receivables.

 

Reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate tax and operating expenses will be accrued as revenue in the period the applicable expenses are incurred.  We will make certain assumptions and judgments in estimating the reimbursements at the end of each reporting period. We do not expect the actual results to materially differ from the estimated reimbursement.

 

We will recognize lease termination income if there is a signed termination letter agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, collectability is reasonably assured and  the tenant is no longer occupying the property. Upon early lease termination, we will provide for losses related to unrecovered intangibles and other assets.

 

As a lessor, we will defer the recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage rent, until the specified target that triggered the contingent rental income is achieved.

 

Partially-Owned Entities

 

We will consolidate the operations of a joint venture if we determine that we are either the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) or have substantial influence and control of the

 

150


 

Table of Contents

 

entity. The primary beneficiary is the party that has the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE. There are significant judgments and estimates involved in determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or the determination of who has control and influence of the entity. When we consolidate an entity, the assets, liabilities and results of operations will be included in our consolidated financial statements.

 

In instances where we determine that we are not the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or we do not control the joint venture but we can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions, we will use the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the operations of a joint venture will not be consolidated with our operations but instead our share of operations will be reflected as equity in earnings (loss) on unconsolidated joint ventures on our consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income. Additionally, our net investment in the joint venture will be reflected as investment in and advances to joint venture as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Marketable Securities

 

We will classify any investments in securities in one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. Trading securities will be bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities in which we will have the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity. All securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity will be classified as available-for-sale. Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities will be excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities will be determined on a specific identification basis. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that will be deemed to be other than temporary, will result in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. The impairment will be charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security will be established. When a security is impaired, we will consider whether we have the ability and intent to hold the investment for a time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value and consider whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence to be considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to period end and forecasted performance of the investee.

 

Valuation of Accounts and Rents Receivable

 

We will take into consideration certain factors that require judgments to be made as to the collectability of receivables.  Collectability factors taken into consideration are the amounts outstanding, payment history and financial strength of the tenant, which taken as a whole determines the valuation.

 

REIT Status

 

In order to qualify as a REIT, we will be required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, to our stockholders.  We must also meet certain asset and income tests, as well as other requirements.  We will monitor the business and transactions that may potentially impact our REIT status.  If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, without the benefit of certain relief provisions, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and state income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates.  Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may still be subject to state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.

Differences between GAAP and Tax Accounting

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Our income for GAAP purposes will likely differ from our income for federal income tax purposes.  This results from the fact that there are differences in the treatment of various items for GAAP and federal income tax purposes.  For example, GAAP requires that, when reporting lease revenue, the minimum annual rental revenue be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease, whereas the cash method of accounting for income tax purposes requires recognition of income when cash payments are actually received from tenants, and the accrual method of accounting for income tax purposes requires recognition of income when the income is earned pursuant to the lease contract.  In addition, GAAP requires that when a building is purchased certain intangible assets and liabilities (such as above- and below-market leases, tenant relationships and in-place lease costs) get allocated separately from the building and get amortized over significantly shorter lives than the depreciation recognized on the building. These intangible assets and liabilities are not recognized for federal income tax purposes and are not allocated separately from the building for purposes of tax depreciation.  Similarly, certain items are treated as contributions to capital for GAAP purposes but may be taxable income to us for federal income tax purposes under certain circumstances.  Thus, our net income for GAAP purposes will likely differ from our net income for federal income tax purposes.

 

Distributions

 

We intend to pay regular monthly cash distributions to our stockholders.  We anticipate that we will begin declaring distributions no later than sixty days after we have sold enough shares to satisfy the minimum offering condition. We may pay distributions during a given period in an aggregate amount that exceeds our cash flow from operations for that period, determined in accordance with GAAP.  As a result, we may pay distributions from sources other than cash flows from operations.  Specifically, some or all of our distributions for any period in which our cash flow from operations is not sufficient may be paid from retained cash flow, from borrowings, from cash flow from investing activities, including the net proceeds from the sale of our assets, or from the net proceeds of this offering.  We have not limited the amount of monies from any of these sources that may be used to fund distributions.

 

If our cash flow from operations is not sufficient to pay distributions for any particular period, we also may fund distributions from, among other things, cash that we receive in the form of advances or contributions from our Business Manager or IREIC or from the cash retained by us in the case that our Business Manager defers, accrues or waives all, or a portion, of its business management fee or its right to be reimbursed for certain expenses.   A deferral, accrual or waiver of any fee owed to our Business Manager will have the effect of increasing cash flow from operations for the relevant period because we do not have to use cash to pay any fee or reimbursement which was deferred, accrued or waived during the relevant period.  Any fee or reimbursement that was deferred or accrued, or any amounts advanced, that we later pay or reimburse, will have the effect of reducing cash flow from operations for the applicable period in which we pay or reimburse these amounts.  We will not, however, be required to pay interest on any fee or reimbursement that was previously deferred or accrued.  Neither our Business Manager nor IREIC has any obligation to provide us with advances or contributions, and our Business Manager is not obligated to defer, accrue or waive any portion of its business management fee or reimbursements.  Further, there is no assurance that these other sources will be available to fund distributions.    See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business.”

 

Offering and Operational Fees and Expenses

 

If we sell at least the minimum offering of 200,000 shares, our Business Manager or its affiliates will pay or reimburse any organization and offering expenses, including any “issuer costs,” that exceed

 

152


 

Table of Contents

 

11.5% of the gross offering proceeds from shares sold in the “best efforts” offering over the life of the offering.

 

Certain fees and expenses payable to IREIC or its affiliates for services to be provided to us are limited to maximum amounts.  See “Compensation Table” above for a more detailed discussion regarding the fees and expenses that we may pay our Business Manager and its affiliates.

 

Funds from Operations

 

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or “NAREIT,” an industry trade group, has promulgated a standard known as “Funds from Operations,” or “FFO,” which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT such as us.   As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation, amortization and impairment charges on real property and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures in which we hold an interest.  In calculating FFO, it is appropriate to add back impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions which can change over time. Further, because gains and losses from sales of property are excluded from FFO, it is consistent and appropriate that impairments, which are often early recognition of losses on prospective sales of property, also be excluded. However,  the exclusion of impairments limits the usefulness of FFO as a measure of historical  operating performance, because an impairment indicates that the property’s operating performance has been permanently affected.

 

FFO is not intended to be an alternative to “net income” as an indicator of our performance nor to “cash flow from operations” as determined by GAAP as a measure of our capacity to pay distributions.  Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year or with other REITs, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income.  This allows us to compare our property performance to our investment objectives.

 

FFO is not a financial measure recognized under GAAP and should not be considered a measure of liquidity, an alternative to net income or an indicator of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. In addition, our calculation of FFO is not necessarily comparable to FFO as calculated by other REITs that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from us. Investors in our common stock should not rely on these measures as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income.

 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expand our real estate investment portfolio and operations.  We will seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs.

 

We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets.  Derivative instruments may include interest rate swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, options or repurchase agreements.  Our actual hedging decisions will be determined in light of the facts and circumstances existing at the time of the hedge and

 

153


 

Table of Contents

 

may differ from our currently anticipated hedging strategy.  If we use derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate fluctuations, we will be exposed to both credit risk and market risk.  Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract.  If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us.  If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk.  We will seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.  Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates.  The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.  See “Risk Factors — Risks Associated with Debt Financing” for additional discussion regarding our use of derivative financial instruments.

 

With regard to variable rate financing, our Business Manager will assess our interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.  Our Business Manager will maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both of our outstanding or forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions.  While this hedging strategy will be designed to minimize the impact on our net income and funds from operations from changes in interest rates, the overall returns on your investment may be reduced.  Our board has not yet established policies and procedures regarding our use of derivative financial instruments for hedging or other purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

We are a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Maryland.  Your rights as a stockholder are governed by Maryland law, our charter and our bylaws.  The following summarizes the material terms of our common stock as described in our charter and bylaws which you should refer to for a full description.  Copies of these documents are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.  You also can obtain copies of these documents if you desire.  See “Where You Can Find More Information” below.

 

Authorized Stock

 

Our charter authorizes us to issue up to 1,460,000,000 shares of common stock and 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  Upon completing this offering, if the maximum number of 150,000,000 shares is sold under our “best efforts” offering and the maximum number of 30,000,000 shares is sold under our distribution reinvestment plan, there may be up to 180,020,000 shares of common stock outstanding and no preferred stock outstanding.  Our charter contains a provision permitting the board, without any action by the stockholders, to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of common or preferred stock into one or more classes or series by setting or changing the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of any new class or series of shares of stock.  In addition, our charter permits our board, without any action by the stockholders, to amend the charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares or the number of shares of any class or series of stock that we have the authority to issue.  We believe that the power of our board to issue additional authorized but unissued shares of common stock or preferred stock and to classify or reclassify shares of common or preferred stock will provide us with increased flexibility in structuring possible future financings and acquisitions and in meeting other business needs which might arise.  See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business” for additional discussion regarding the issuance of shares.

 

Common Stock

 

The shares issued in this offering, upon receipt of full payment in accordance with the terms of this offering, will be fully paid and nonassessable.  We expect that all shares of our common stock will be issued only in book entry form.  Subject to the preferential rights of any class or series of preferred stock and to the provisions of our charter regarding the restriction on the transfer of shares of our common stock, holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive distributions if authorized by our board and declared by us and to share ratably in our assets available for distribution to the stockholders in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.

 

Each outstanding share of our common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including votes to elect directors.  There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock will be able to elect all of the directors nominated for election.

 

Holders of our common stock have no conversion, sinking fund, redemption or exchange rights, have no preemptive rights to subscribe for any securities we may offer or issue in the future and have no appraisal rights unless our board of directors determines that appraisal rights apply, with respect to all or any classes or series of shares, to one or more transactions occurring after the date of such determination in connection with which stockholders would otherwise be entitled to exercise appraisal rights.

 

Under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge (except as permitted by law), sell all or substantially all of its assets, engage in a share exchange or

 

155


 

Table of Contents

 

engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business, unless approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote on the matter.  However, a Maryland corporation may provide in its charter for approval of these matters by a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.  Our charter provides for a majority vote in these situations.

 

Under our charter and bylaws, the presence in person or by proxy by the holders of 50% of our outstanding shares entitled to vote will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of our stockholders.  Under our charter and bylaws, the election of directors requires a majority of all the votes present in person or by proxy at a meeting of our stockholders at which a quorum is present.  Stockholders may also, upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of stock then outstanding and entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, remove any director with or without cause.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Subject to certain restrictions set forth in our charter, we may issue shares of our preferred stock in the future in one or more series as authorized by our board.  Prior to issuing the shares of any series, our board is required by Maryland law and our charter to fix the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each series.  Because our board has the power to establish the preferences, powers and rights of each series of preferred stock, it may, without any consideration or approval by our stockholders, provide the holders of any series of preferred stock with preferences, powers and rights, voting or otherwise, senior to the rights of holders of our common stock, in each case subject to the certain restrictions contained in our charter.  The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us, including an extraordinary transaction such as merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets that might provide a premium price for holders of our common stock.  See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business” and “— Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure” for additional discussion regarding change of control restrictions.  We have no current plans to issue any preferred stock.

 

Distribution Policy

 

We intend to pay regular monthly cash distributions to our stockholders.  We anticipate that we will begin declaring distributions no later than sixty days after we have sold enough shares to satisfy the minimum offering condition. We may pay distributions during a given period in an aggregate amount that exceeds our cash flow from operations for that period, determined in accordance with GAAP.  As a result, we may pay distributions from sources other than cash flows from operations.  Specifically, some or all of our distributions for any period in which our cash flow from operations is not sufficient may be paid from retained cash flow, from borrowings, from cash flow from investing activities, including the net proceeds from the sale of our assets, or from the net proceeds of this offering.  We have not limited the amount of monies from any of these sources that may be used to fund distributions.

 

If our cash flow from operations is not sufficient to pay distributions for any particular period, we also may fund distributions from, among other things, cash that we receive in the form of advances or contributions from our Business Manager or IREIC or from the cash retained by us in the case that our Business Manager defers, accrues or waives all, or a portion, of its business management fee or its right to be reimbursed for certain expenses.   A deferral, accrual or waiver of any fee owed to our Business Manager will have the effect of increasing cash flow from operations for the relevant period because we do not have to use cash to pay any fee or reimbursement which was deferred, accrued or waived during the relevant period.  Any fee or reimbursement that was deferred or accrued, or any amounts advanced, that we later pay or reimburse, will have the effect of reducing cash flow from operations for the

 

156


 

Table of Contents

 

applicable period in which we pay or reimburse these amounts.  We will not, however, be required to pay interest on any fee or reimbursement that was previously deferred or accrued.  Neither our Business Manager nor IREIC has any obligation to provide us with advances or contributions, and our Business Manager is not obligated to defer, accrue or waive any portion of its business management fee or reimbursements.  Further, there is no assurance that these other sources will be available to fund distributions.    See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business.”

 

We will not make distributions-in-kind, except for: distributions of readily marketable securities; distributions of beneficial interests in a liquidating trust established for our dissolution and the liquidation of our assets in accordance with the terms of our charter; or distributions of in-kind property which meet all of the following conditions: our board advises each stockholder of the risks associated with direct ownership of the in-kind property; our board offers each stockholder the election of receiving in-kind property distributions; and we distribute in-kind property only to those stockholders who accept our offer.

 

Formation Transaction

 

In connection with our formation, IREIC invested $200,000 in exchange for 20,000 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to our charter, IREIC may not sell its initial investment in us while IREIC remains our sponsor, but it may transfer all or a portion of its initial investment to any of its affiliates.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is DST Systems, Inc.

 

Book Entry System

 

Our charter provides that we may not issue certificates representing shares of our common stock unless expressly authorized by our board.  As a result we anticipate that all shares of our common stock will be issued only in book entry form.  This means that, except to the extent expressly authorized by our board, we will not issue actual stock certificates to any holder of our common stock.  The use of book entry only registration protects stockholders against loss, theft or destruction of stock certificates and reduces offering costs.  Once we accept a subscription to purchase shares of our common stock, we create an account in our book entry registration system and credit the principal amount of the subscription to the individual’s account.  We will send each stockholder a book entry receipt indicating acceptance of his or her subscription.  All issuances of common stock through our distribution reinvestment plan also are made only in book entry form.

 

Restrictions on Issuance of Securities

 

We may not issue:

 

·              common stock which is redeemable;

 

·              debt securities unless the debt service coverage, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the issuance of the debt securities, calculated as of the end of our most recently completed fiscal quarter, is equal to or greater than 1.0.  For these purposes, “debt service coverage” means the ratio equal to annualized net income for the latest quarterly period divided by aggregate debt service.  Aggregate debt service means, for these purposes, the aggregate amount of interest expense, principal amortization and other charges payable with respect to our outstanding borrowings and indebtedness, whether secured or unsecured, including all loans, senior debt and junior debt;

 

157


 

Table of Contents

 

·              options or warrants to purchase stock to IREIC, director(s) or any affiliates, including our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers, except on the same terms as sold (if any are sold) to the general public (excluding for these purposes underwriting fees, commissions and discounts) and in an amount not to exceed 9.8% in value of our outstanding stock or more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding common stock on the date of grant of any options or warrants unless waived by the board and in aggregate amount not to exceed 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock or any other shares of stock having the right to elect directors on the date of grant of such options or warrants; or

 

·              stock on a deferred payment basis or similar arrangement.

 

Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer

 

In order for us to qualify as a REIT under the Code, shares of our common stock must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of twelve months (other than the first year for which an election to be a REIT has been made) or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year.  Also, not more than 50% of the value of our outstanding shares of common stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include some entities such as qualified person plans) during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first year for which an election to be a REIT has been made).

 

Our charter, subject to some exceptions, prohibits any person from acquiring or holding, directly or indirectly, more than 9.8% in value of our outstanding stock or more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the aggregate outstanding shares of common stock.  This limit may be further reduced if our board of directors waives this limit for certain holders, including The Inland Group and its affiliates.  Our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may exempt (prospectively or retroactively) a person from these ownership limits, unless granting the exemption would result in us being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise would result in us failing to qualify as a REIT, including if the person seeking the exemptions owns, directly or indirectly, an interest in any of our tenants (or in a tenant of any entity owned or controlled by us) that would cause us to own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the interests in the tenant.  Our board may require a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel, in either case in form and substance satisfactory to our board of directors in its sole discretion, in order to determine or ensure our status as a REIT.

 

In addition, our charter prohibits any person from beneficially or constructively owning shares of our stock that would result in us being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT.  Our charter further provides that any transfer of our stock that would result in our stock being beneficially owned by fewer than one hundred persons will be void.  Any person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire beneficial or constructive ownership of our stock that will or may violate any of the foregoing restrictions on transferability and ownership, or any person who would have owned shares of our stock that resulted in a transfer of shares to the trust, is required to give us notice immediately and to provide us with such other information as we may request in order to determine the effect of the transfer on our status as a REIT.  The foregoing restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply if our board determines that it is no longer in our best interests to attempt to qualify, or to continue to qualify, as a REIT or that compliance is no longer required for us to qualify as a REIT.

 

If any transfer of shares of our stock is attempted that, if effective, would result in any person violating the transfer or ownership limitations described above, our charter provides that either the

number of shares of our stock causing the person to violate the limitations will be automatically placed in a trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more charitable beneficiaries within the meaning of 501(c)(3) of the Code or, if placement of the shares in a trust would not effectively prevent the loss of our qualification as a REIT or the transfer would result in our stock being beneficially owned by fewer than one hundred persons, then the attempted transfer itself will be deemed null and void.  The proposed transferee that exceeds the ownership limits will not acquire any rights in these shares.  The automatic transfer is deemed effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the transfer violating these restrictions.  Shares of stock held in the trust will continue to be treated as issued and outstanding.  The proposed transferee will not benefit economically from ownership of any shares of stock held in the trust, will have no rights to dividends or other distributions and will not have any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the shares of stock held in the trust.  The trustee of the trust will have all voting rights and rights to dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of stock held in the trust.  The voting rights and rights to dividends or other distributions will be exercised for the exclusive benefit of the charitable beneficiary.  Any dividend or other distribution paid prior to our discovery that shares of stock have been transferred to the trustee will be paid by the recipient of the dividend or other distribution to the trustee upon demand, and any dividend or other distributions authorized but unpaid will be paid when due to the trustee.  Subject to Maryland law, effective as of the date that such shares of stock have been transferred to the trust, the trustee will have the authority in its sole discretion: (1) to rescind as void any vote cast by the proposed transferee prior to our discovery that the shares have been transferred to the trust; and (2) to recast the vote in accordance with the desires of the trustee acting for the benefit of the charitable beneficiary.  However, if we have already taken irreversible corporate action, then the trustee will not have the authority to rescind and recast the vote.

 

Within twenty days of receiving notice from us that shares have been transferred to the trust, the trustee must sell the shares to a person or group, designated by the trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the ownership limitations.  Upon the sale, the interest of the charitable beneficiary in the shares sold will terminate and the trustee will distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the proposed transferee and to the charitable beneficiary as follows.  The proposed transferee will receive the lesser of: (1) the price paid for the shares by the proposed transferee or, if the proposed transferee did not give value for the shares in connection with the event causing the shares to be held in the trust (e.g., a gift, devise or other such transaction), the market price, as defined in our charter, of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the trust; and (2) the price per share received by the trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares held in the trust.  The trustee may reduce the amount payable to the proposed transferee by the amount of dividends and other distributions which have been paid to the proposed transferee and are owed by the proposed transferee to the trustee.  Sale proceeds exceeding the amount payable to the proposed transferee will be paid immediately to the charitable beneficiary.  If, prior to our discovery that shares of stock have been transferred to the trust, the shares are sold by the proposed transferee, then the shares will be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the trust; and if to the extent that the proposed transferee received an amount for the shares exceeding the amount that the proposed transferee was entitled to receive, the excess will be paid to the trustee upon demand.

 

In addition, shares of our stock held in the trust will be deemed to have been offered for sale to us or our designees, at a price per share equal to the lesser of: (1) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in the transfer to the trust, or, in the case of a devise or gift, the market price at the time of the devise or gift; and (2) the market price on the date we, or our designate, accept such offer.  We can accept this offer until the trustee has sold the shares held in the trust.  Upon a sale to us, the interest of the charitable beneficiary in the shares sold will terminate and the trustee will distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the proposed transferee.  The trustee may reduce the amount payable to the proposed transferee by the amount of dividends and other distributions which have been paid to the proposed transferee and are owed by the proposed transferee to the trustee.  Any net sales proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the proposed transferee will be immediately paid to the charitable beneficiary.

Our charter requires all persons who own 5% or more, or any lower percentage required by the Code or the regulations thereunder, of our outstanding common and preferred stock, within thirty days after the end of each taxable year, to provide to us written notice stating their name and address, the number of shares of common and preferred stock they beneficially own directly or indirectly, and a description of how the shares are held.  In addition, each beneficial owner must provide us with any additional information as we may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of their beneficial ownership on our status as a REIT to ensure compliance with the 9.8% ownership limit.  In addition, each stockholder will, upon demand, be required to provide us any information as we may request, in good faith, in order to determine our status as a REIT and to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or governmental authority or to determine such compliance.

 

Any resale of the securities owned by IREIC and its affiliates, and the resale of any such securities that may be acquired by our affiliates, are subject to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which rule limits the number of shares that may be sold at any one time and the manner of such resale.

 

Certain Provisions of Maryland Corporate Law and Our Charter and Bylaws

 

The following paragraphs summarize provisions of Maryland corporate law and the material terms of our charter and bylaws.  The following summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to Maryland corporate law and our charter and bylaws.  See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

 

Business Combinations.  Under the Maryland Business Combination Act, completion of a business combination (including a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities) between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder is prohibited for five years following the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder.  Maryland law defines an interested stockholder as any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock or an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding stock of the corporation.  A person is not an interested stockholder if, prior to the most recent time at which the person would otherwise have become an interested stockholder, the board of directors of the Maryland corporation approved the transaction which otherwise would have resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder.  The board of directors may condition its approval on the person complying with terms and conditions determined by the board.  Following the five-year period, any business combination with that interested stockholder must be recommended by the board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:

 

·              80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation; and

 

·              two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom (or with whose affiliate) the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder, unless, among other conditions, the corporation’s common stockholders receive a minimum price (as defined in the Maryland business combination statute) equal to the highest price paid by the interested stockholder for its shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares.

Table of Contents

 

These provisions of Maryland law do not apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by our board prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder.  As permitted under Maryland law, business combinations involving us and The Inland Group or any of its affiliates including our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers are exempt from the Maryland business combination statute.  See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure” for additional discussion regarding these provisions of Maryland law.

 

Control Share Acquisition.  The Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act provides that shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a “control share acquisition” have no voting rights except to the extent approved by the corporation’s stockholders by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares owned by: (1) the acquiring person; (2) the corporation’s officers; and (3) employees of the corporation who are also directors.  “Control shares” mean voting shares which, if aggregated with all other voting shares owned by an acquiring person, or which the acquiring person can exercise or direct the exercise of voting power, would entitle the acquiring person to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power of shares of the corporation in electing directors (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy) within one of the following ranges of voting power:

 

·               one-tenth or more but less than one-third of all voting power;

 

·               one-third or more but less than a majority of all voting power; or

 

·                a majority or more of all voting power.

 

Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval.  A “control share acquisition” occurs when, subject to some exceptions, a person directly or indirectly acquires ownership or the power to direct the exercise of voting power of issued and outstanding control shares.  A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition, upon satisfaction of some specific conditions, including an undertaking to pay expenses, may compel our board to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within fifty days after that person’s demand upon the corporation to consider the voting rights to be accorded to the control shares.  If no request for a meeting is made, we may present the question at any stockholders’ meeting.

 

If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute, then, subject to some statutory conditions and limitations, the corporation may redeem any or all of the control shares (except those for which voting rights have previously been approved) for fair value determined, without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date of the last control share acquisition by the acquirer or of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights of such shares are considered and not approved.  If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights and be entitled to receive in cash the fair value for their shares of stock.  The fair value of the shares as determined for these purposes may not be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquirer in the control share acquisition.

 

The Control Share Acquisition Act does not apply to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is party to the transaction or to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation.  Our bylaws exempt acquisitions of our stock by any person from the limits imposed by the Control Share Acquisition Act.

 

Subtitle 8.  Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the Maryland General Corporation Law permits a Maryland corporation with a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and at least three

independent directors to elect to be subject, by provision in its charter or bylaws or a resolution of its board of directors and notwithstanding any contrary provision in the charter or bylaws, to any or all of five provisions:

 

·              a classified board;

 

·              a two-thirds vote requirement for removing a director;

 

·              a requirement that the number of directors be fixed only by vote of the directors;

 

·              a requirement that a vacancy on the board be filled only by the remaining directors and for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred; and

 

·              a majority requirement for the calling of a special meeting of stockholders.

 

Through provisions in our charter and bylaws unrelated to Subtitle 8, we already vest in the board the exclusive power to fix the number of directorships.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

Under Maryland law and our charter and bylaws, our officers and directors are deemed to be in a fiduciary relationship to us and our stockholders.  However, a director will have no liability under Maryland law for monetary damages if the director performs his or her duties in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in our best interests, and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.  Under Maryland law, the third party has the burden of showing that the director did not satisfy this standard of care.  In addition, we have provided in our charter that no director or officer will be liable to us or to any stockholder for money damages to the extent that Maryland law, in effect from time to time, permits the limitation of the liability of directors and officers of a corporation.  We have included a requirement in our charter and bylaws that we indemnify and without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, pay, advance or reimburse reasonable expenses to any director or officer from and against any liability or loss to which the director or officer may become subject or which the director or officer may incur by reason of his or her service as a director or officer.  Thus, except as described below, our directors and officers will not be liable for monetary damages unless:

 

·              the person actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services; and

 

·              the person is held liable based on a final judgment that the person’s action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty which was material to the cause of action before the court;

 

and, except as described below, our directors and officers will be indemnified against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made or threatened to be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that:

 

·              the act or omission of the person was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (1) was committed in bad faith or (2) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;

 

·              the person actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or

 

·              in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

 

A court may order indemnification if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, even though the director or officer did not meet the prescribed standard of conduct or was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received.  However, indemnification for an adverse judgment in a suit by us or in our right, or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, is limited to expenses.

 

Notwithstanding the above, our charter provides that no director or officer may be indemnified for any loss or liability suffered by him or her unless all of the following conditions are satisfied:

 

·              our board of directors has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in our best interests;

 

163


 

Table of Contents

 

·               the director or officer was acting on our behalf or performing services for us;

 

·              the liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct on the part of the director or officer; provided that if the person is or was an independent director, the independent director need only establish that the liability or loss was not the result of that person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; and

 

·              the indemnification is recoverable out of our net assets only and not from the personal assets of any stockholder.

 

Notwithstanding the above, our charter provides that we will not indemnify any director or officer for losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless one or more of the following conditions are satisfied:

 

·              there has been a successful defense on the merits of each count involving alleged material securities law violations;

 

·              the claims have been dismissed with prejudice by a court of competent jurisdiction; or

 

·              a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made; provided that the court considering the request must be advised of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s position on indemnity for securities law violations as well as the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which our securities were offered.

 

In addition, our charter provides that we will advance amounts to any director or officer entitled to indemnification for legal and other expenses and costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

 

·              the legal action relates to acts or omissions relating to the performance of duties or services by the director or officer seeking indemnification for us or on our behalf;

 

·              the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder or the legal action is initiated by a stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically permits us to advance expenses; and

 

·              the director or officer seeking indemnification undertakes in writing to repay us the advanced funds, together with interest at the applicable legal rate of interest, if it is later determined that the person seeking indemnification was not entitled to indemnification.

 

We may purchase and maintain insurance or provide similar protection on behalf of any director or officer against any liability incurred in any such capacity with us or on our behalf.  We may enter into any contract requiring us to indemnify and advance expenses with any director, officer, employee or agent as may be determined by the board and as permitted by our charter.

 

Our bylaws further describe situations in which directors and officers will be indemnified by the company.

 

We have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification of liabilities arising under the Securities Act is contrary to public policy and, therefore, unenforceable.

SUMMARY OF OUR ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS

 

Each stockholder is bound by and is deemed to have agreed to the terms of our organizational documents by his, her or its election to become a stockholder of our company.  Our organizational documents consist of our charter and bylaws.  Our directors, including our independent directors, have reviewed and ratified these documents.  The following summarizes the material provisions of these documents but does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by specific reference to the organizational documents filed as exhibits to our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.  See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

 

Charter and Bylaw Provisions

 

The rights of stockholders and related matters are governed by our organizational documents and Maryland law. Certain provisions of these documents or of Maryland law, summarized below, may make it more difficult to change the composition of our board and could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for holders of our common stock.  See generally “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure.”

 

Stockholders’ Meetings and Voting Rights

 

Our charter and bylaws require us to hold an annual meeting of stockholders not less than thirty days after delivering our annual report to stockholders.  The purpose of each annual meeting will be to elect directors and to transact any other business that may properly come before the meeting.  The chairman, the chief executive officer, the president, a majority of the directors or a majority of the independent directors may also call a special meeting of the stockholders.  The secretary must call a special meeting to act on any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of stockholders when stockholders holding in the aggregate not less than 10% of our outstanding shares entitled to vote on that matter at that meeting make a written request.  The written request must state the purpose(s) of the meeting and the matters to be acted upon.  Within ten days after receipt of this written request, the secretary will inform the stockholders making the request of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing a notice of the special meeting.  Within ten days of our receipt of the payment of these costs,  the secretary will prepare and mail a notice announcing the date of and purpose for the special meeting.  The meeting will be held on a date not less than fifteen nor more than sixty days after the notice is sent, at the time and place specified in the notice.

 

Except as provided above, we will give notice of any annual or special meeting of stockholders not less than ten nor more than ninety days before the meeting.  The notice must state the purpose of the meeting.  At any meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share owned of record on the applicable record date.  In general, the presence in person or by proxy of 50% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the meeting will constitute a quorum.  The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our stock, present in person or by proxy at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present and entitled to vote, will be sufficient to elect directors and the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast will be sufficient to take action on any other matter that may properly come before the meeting, unless more than a majority of the votes cast is required by law or our charter.  Any action permitted or required to be taken at a meeting of stockholders may also be taken by written or electronic consent of the requisite holders.

Board of Directors

 

Under our organizational documents, we must have at least three but not more than eleven directors.  We currently have five members on our board.  A majority of these directors must be, and are, “independent.” A person will be “independent” if the person is not and has not been affiliated with us or IREIC and its affiliates, and has not within the two years prior to becoming a director performed any other services on our behalf.  A director may resign at any time and may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.  A vacancy on the board caused by the death, resignation, removal or incapacity of a director or by an increase in the number of directors, within the limits described above, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors whether or not the voting directors constitute a quorum.  Vacancies resulting from the removal of a director by our stockholders may also be filled by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our stock, present in person or by proxy at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present and entitled to vote.  However, any replacements for vacancies among the independent directors may be nominated only by our independent directors.  Our bylaws require our audit committee to be comprised entirely of independent directors.

 

A director must have at least three years of relevant experience and demonstrate the knowledge required to successfully acquire and manage the type of assets that we intend to acquire to serve as a director.  Our charter provides that at least one of our independent directors must have three years of relevant real estate experience.

 

Each director will be elected by the vote of our stockholders  and will hold office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified.

 

Maryland law provides that any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the board also may be taken without a meeting by the unanimous written or electronic consent of all directors.

 

The approval by our board and by holders of at least a majority of our outstanding voting shares of stock is generally necessary for us to do any of the following:

 

·          amend our charter;

 

·          transfer all or substantially all of our assets other than in the ordinary course of business;

 

·          engage in mergers, consolidations or share exchanges; or

 

·          dissolve or liquidate.

 

A sale of two-thirds or more of our assets, based on the total number of assets or the current fair market value of the assets, will constitute a sale of substantially all of our assets.  See “Description of Securities — Common Stock” for an explanation of instances where stockholder approval is not required.

 

Under our charter, IREIC, the Business Manager and any affiliates including directors employed by IREIC are generally prohibited from voting any shares they own on any proposal brought to stockholders seeking to remove IREIC, the Business Manager, the directors or any affiliates or to vote on any transaction between us and any of them.  For these purposes, shares owned by IREIC, the Business Manager, the directors or any affiliates will not be included in the denominator to determine the number of votes needed to approve the matter.  In the case of a business combination with our Business Manager

 

166

or Real Estate Managers, IREIC and its affiliates will be permitted to vote their shares but only if the proposal would otherwise be approved by a vote of the other stockholders.

 

Inspection of Books and Records; Stockholder Lists

 

Any stockholder or his or her designated representative will be permitted, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to inspect and obtain copies of our records, subject to the limits contained in our charter.  Specifically, the request cannot be made to secure a copy of our stockholder list or other information for the purpose of selling the list or using the list or other information for a commercial purpose.

 

For example, a stockholder may, subject to the limits described above, in person or by agent during normal business hours, on written request, inspect and obtain copies of our books of account and our stock ledger.  Any stockholder also may present to any officer or its resident agent a written request for a statement of our affairs or our stockholder list, an alphabetical list of names and addresses of our stockholders along with the number of shares of equity stock held by each of them.  Our stockholder list will be maintained and updated at least quarterly as part of our corporate documents and records and will be printed on white paper in a readily readable type size.  A copy of the stockholder list will be mailed to the stockholder within ten days of the request.

 

We may impose, and require the stockholder to pay, a reasonable charge for expenses incurred in reproducing any of our corporate documents and records.  If our Business Manager or our directors neglect or refuse to produce or mail a copy of the stockholder list requested by a stockholder, then in accordance with applicable law and our charter, our Business Manager and our directors will be liable to the stockholder for the costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the stockholder in compelling production of the list and actual damages suffered by the stockholder because of the refusal or neglect.  As noted above, if the stockholder’s actual purpose is to sell the list or use it for a commercial or other purposes, we may refuse to supply the list.

 

Our books and records are open for inspection by state securities administrators upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours at our principal place of business.

 

Tender Offers

 

Our charter provides that any tender offer made by a person, including any “mini-tender” offer, must comply with most of the provisions of Regulation 14D of the Exchange Act, including the notice and disclosure requirements.  The offeror must provide us notice of such tender offer at least ten business days before initiating the tender offer.  If the offeror does not comply with the provisions set forth above, the non-complying offeror will be responsible for all of our expenses in connection with that person’s noncompliance.

 

Amendment of the Organizational Documents

 

Our charter may be amended, after the amendment is declared advisable by our board, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the then outstanding shares of common stock.  Our bylaws may be amended in any manner not inconsistent with the charter by a majority vote of our directors present at the board meeting.

 

167


 

Table of Contents

 

Dissolution of the Company

 

As a Maryland corporation, we may be dissolved at any time if the dissolution is declared advisable by a majority of our entire board and approved by a majority of the then outstanding shares of common stock.  Our board will determine when, and if, to:

 

·              apply to have our shares of common stock listed for trading on a national securities exchange, subject to satisfying existing listing requirements; and

 

·             commence subsequent offerings of common stock after completing this offering.

 

Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business

 

Proposals to elect directors or conduct other business at an annual or special meeting must be brought in accordance with our bylaws.  The bylaws provide that any business may be transacted at the annual meeting without being specifically designated in the notice of meeting.  However, with respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the business specified in the notice of the special meeting may be brought at that meeting.

 

Our bylaws provide that with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders, nominations of individuals for election to the board and the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders may be made only:

 

·              pursuant to the notice of the meeting;

 

·              by or at the director of our board; or

 

·              by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record at the time of the giving of notice and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated or on any such other business and who has complied with the advance notice procedures set forth in our bylaws.

 

Our bylaws also provide that nominations of individuals for election to the board may be made at a special meeting, but only:

 

·              by or at the direction of our board; or

 

·              provided that our board has determined that directors will be elected at the meeting, by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record at the time of the giving of notice and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated and who has complied with the advance notice procedures set forth in our bylaws.

 

A notice of a director nomination or stockholder proposal to be considered at an annual meeting must be delivered to our secretary at our principal executive offices:

 

·              not earlier than 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the 120th day nor later than 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement for the previous year’s annual meeting; or

 

168


 

Table of Contents

 

·              if the date of the meeting is advanced by more than thirty or delayed by more than sixty days from the anniversary date or if an annual meeting has not yet been held, not earlier than 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the 120th day prior to the annual meeting and not later than 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the 90th day prior to the annual meeting or the tenth day following our first public announcement of the date of the meeting.

 

A notice of a director nomination to be considered at a special meeting must be delivered to our secretary at our principal executive offices:

 

·              not earlier than one hundred twenty days prior to the special meeting; and

 

·              not later than 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the later of either:

 

·               ninety days prior to the special meeting; or

 

·               ten days following the day of our first public announcement of the date of the special meeting and the nominees proposed by our board to be elected at the meeting.

 

Restrictions on Certain Conversion Transactions and Roll-ups

 

Our charter requires that some transactions involving an acquisition, merger, conversion or consolidation in which our stockholders receive securities in a surviving entity (known in the charter as a “roll-up entity”), must be approved by the holders of a majority of our then-outstanding shares of common stock.  Approval of a transaction with, or resulting in, a “roll-up entity” is required if as part of the transaction our board determines that it is no longer in our best interest to attempt or continue to qualify as a REIT.  Transactions effected because of changes in applicable law or to preserve tax advantages for a majority in interest of our stockholders do not require stockholder approval.

 

A “roll-up entity” is a partnership, REIT, corporation, trust or other entity created or surviving a roll-up transaction.  A roll-up transaction does not include: (1) a transaction involving securities that have been listed on a national securities exchange for at least twelve months; or (2) a transaction involving conversion of an entity to corporate, trust or association form if, as a consequence of the transaction, there will be no significant adverse change in any of the following:

 

·           stockholders’ voting rights;

 

·           our term and existence;

 

·           sponsor or Business Manager compensation; or

 

·           investment objectives.

 

In the event of a proposed roll-up, an appraisal of all our assets must be obtained from a person with no current or prior business or personal relationship with our Business Manager or our directors.  Further, that person must be substantially engaged in the business of rendering valuation opinions of assets of the kind we hold or own. The appraisal must be included in a prospectus used to offer the securities of the roll-up entity and must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the state regulatory commissions as an exhibit to the registration statement for the offering of the roll-up entity’s shares.  As a result, an issuer using the appraisal will be subject to liability for violation of Section 11 of the Securities Act and comparable provisions under state laws for any material

 

169


 

Table of Contents

 

misrepresentations or material omissions in the appraisal.  The assets must be appraised in a consistent manner and the appraisal must:

 

·              be based on an evaluation of all relevant information;

 

·              indicate the value of the assets as of a date immediately prior to the announcement of the proposed roll-up transaction; and

 

·              assume an orderly liquidation of the assets over a twelve-month period.

 

The engagement agreement with the appraiser must clearly state that the engagement is for the benefit of the company and its stockholders.  A summary of the independent appraisal, indicating all material assumptions underlying it, must be included in a report to the stockholders in the event of a proposed roll-up.

 

We may not participate in any proposed roll-up that would:

 

·              result in the stockholders of the roll-up entity having rights that are more restrictive to our common stockholders than those provided in our charter, including any restriction on the frequency of meetings;

 

·              result in our common stockholders having less comprehensive voting rights than are provided in our charter;

 

·              result in our common stockholders having greater liability than provided in our charter;

 

·              result in our common stockholders having fewer rights to receive reports than those provided in our charter;

 

·              result in our common stockholders having access to records that are more limited than those provided for in our charter;

 

·              include provisions that would operate to materially impede or frustrate the accumulation of shares by any purchaser of the securities of the roll-up entity, except to the minimum extent necessary to preserve the tax status of the roll-up entity;

 

·              limit the ability of an investor to exercise its voting rights in the roll-up entity on the basis of the number of the shares held by that investor; or

 

·             place any of the costs of the transaction on us if the roll-up is rejected by our common stockholders.

 

However, with the prior approval of the holders of a majority of our then outstanding shares of our common stock, we may participate in a proposed roll-up if our common stockholders would have rights and be subject to restrictions comparable to those contained in our charter.

 

Stockholders who vote “no” on the proposed roll-up must have the choice of:

 

·               accepting the securities of the roll-up entity offered; or

 

·               one of either:

·               remaining as our stockholder and preserving their interests on the same terms and conditions as previously existed; or

 

·               receiving cash in an amount equal to their pro rata share of the appraised value of our net assets.

 

These provisions, as well as others contained in our charter, bylaws and Maryland law could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for holders of our common stock.  See generally “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure.”

 

Limitation on Total Operating Expenses

 

In any fiscal year, our annual total operating expenses may not exceed the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income for that year.  For these purposes, items such as the business management fee and ancillary service reimbursements (except as specifically excluded) are included in the definition of total operating expenses.  Items such as organization and offering expenses, property-level expenses (including any fees payable under our agreements with the Real Estate Managers), interest payments, taxes, non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortization, impairments and bad debt reserves, the incentive fee payable to our Business Manager, acquisition fees and expenses, commissions payable on the sale of properties and any other expenses incurred in connection with acquiring, disposing and owning real estate assets are excluded from the definition of total operating expenses.    Our independent directors will have a fiduciary responsibility to ensure that we do not exceed these limits.  Our independent directors may, however, permit us to exceed these limits if they determine that doing so is justified because of unusual and non-recurring expenses.  Any finding by our independent directors and the reasons supporting it must be recorded in the minutes of meetings of our directors.  If at the end of any fiscal quarter, our total operating expenses for the twelve months then ended exceed the greater of these limits, we will disclose this in writing to the stockholders within sixty days of the end of the fiscal quarter.   If the independent directors determine that the excess total operating expenses are justified, the disclosure must also include an explanation of the independent directors’ conclusion.   If our independent directors do not believe that exceeding the limit was justified, our Business Manager must, within sixty days after the end of our fiscal year, reimburse us the amount by which the aggregate expenses exceed the limit.

 

Transactions with Affiliates of Our Sponsor

 

Our charter also restricts certain transactions between us and IREIC, and its affiliates including our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and IREA, and our directors as follows:

 

·               Sales and Leases.  We may not purchase properties from any of these parties unless a majority of our disinterested directors, including a majority of our disinterested independent directors, approves the transaction as being fair and reasonable and the price for the properties is no greater than the cost paid by these parties for the properties, unless substantial justification for the excess exists and the excess is reasonable.  In no event may the cost of any real estate asset exceed its appraised value at the time we acquire the real estate asset.  We also may not sell assets to, or lease assets from any of these parties unless the sale or lease is approved by a majority of our disinterested directors, including a majority of our disinterested independent directors, as being fair and reasonable to us.

 

171


 

Table of Contents

 

·              Loans.  We may not make loans to any of these parties except as provided in clauses (3) and (6) under “Restrictions on Investments” below in this section, or to our wholly owned subsidiaries.  Also, we may not borrow money from any of these parties, unless a majority of our disinterested directors, including a majority of our disinterested independent directors, approves the transaction as fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to us than loans between unaffiliated parties under the same circumstances.  For these purposes, amounts owed but not yet paid by us under the business management agreement, or any real estate management agreements, will not constitute amounts advanced pursuant to a loan.

 

·              Investments.  We may not invest in joint ventures with any of these parties as a partner, unless a majority of our disinterested directors, including a majority of our disinterested independent directors, approves the transaction as fair and reasonable to us and on substantially the same terms and conditions as those received by the other joint venturers.  We also may not invest in equity securities, except for securities of “publicly-traded entities,” unless a majority of our disinterested directors, including a majority of our disinterested independent directors, approves the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable.  A “publicly-traded entity” means any entity having securities listed on a national securities exchange or included for quotation on an inter-dealer quotation system.

 

·              Other Transactions.  All other transactions between us and any of these parties require approval by a majority of our disinterested directors, including a majority of our disinterested independent directors, as being fair and reasonable and on terms and conditions not less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

 

In addition to these limits in the charter, we have adopted a conflicts of interest policy, which prohibits us from engaging in the following types of transactions with IREIC-affiliated entities: (1) purchasing properties from, or selling properties to, any IREIC-affiliated entities (this excludes circumstances where an entity affiliated with IREIC, such as IREA, enters into a purchase agreement to acquire a property and then assigns the purchase agreement to us);  (2) making loans to, or borrowing money from, any IREIC-affiliated entities (this excludes expense advancements under existing agreements and the deposit of monies in any banking institution affiliated with IREIC); and (3) investing in joint ventures with any IREIC-affiliated entities.

 

Restrictions on Borrowing

 

Our board will review, at least quarterly, the aggregate amount of our borrowings, both secured and unsecured, to ensure that the borrowings are reasonable in relation to our net assets.  In general, our aggregate borrowings secured by all our assets may not exceed 300% of our net assets.  For these purposes, “net assets” are defined as total assets, other than intangibles, at cost before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves less total liabilities, calculated at least quarterly on a basis consistently applied.  Any borrowings exceeding this limit must be:

 

·              approved by a majority of our independent directors; and

 

·              disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report to stockholders, along with justification for the excess.

 

See “Risk Factors — Risks Associated with Debt Financing” for additional discussion regarding our borrowings.

Restrictions on Investments

 

Under our charter, we are prohibited from taking any of the following actions:

 

·              issuing redeemable shares of common stock; or

 

·             issuing shares on a deferred payment basis or other similar arrangement.

 

We do not intend to engage in hedging or similar activities for speculative purposes.

 

Our charter also prohibits us from making certain investments, as follows:

 

(1)            Not more than 10% of our total assets will be invested in unimproved real property or mortgage loans on unimproved real property.  For purposes of this paragraph, “unimproved real property” does not include properties acquired for the purpose of producing rental or other operating income, properties under development or construction, and properties under contract for development or in planning for development within one year.

 

(2)          We will not invest in commodities or commodity future contracts.  This limitation does not apply to interest rate futures when used solely for hedging purposes.

 

(3)           Except for investments in CMBS, we will not make, or invest in, mortgage loans, unless we obtain an appraisal of the underlying property and the mortgage indebtedness on any property would in no event exceed the property’s appraised value.  This restriction will not apply to an investment in a “publicly-traded entity” which owns, invests in or makes mortgage loans.  In cases in which the majority of independent directors so determine, and in all cases in which the mortgage loan involves IREIC, its affiliates, our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers, directors or their respective affiliates, we must obtain the appraisal from an independent third party.  We will keep the appraisal in our records for at least five years, where it will be available to be inspected and copied by any stockholder.  In addition, we also will obtain a mortgagee’s or owner’s title insurance policy or commitment insuring the priority of the mortgage or condition of the title.

 

(4)           We will not invest in real estate contracts of sale otherwise known as land sale contracts unless the contracts are in recordable form and appropriately recorded in the chain of title.

 

(5)           Except for investments in CMBS, we will not make, or invest in, mortgage loans, including construction loans, on any one property if the aggregate amount of all outstanding mortgage loans outstanding on the property, including our loans, would exceed an amount equal to 85% of the appraised value of the property unless there is, in the board’s view, substantial justification and provided further that the loans do not exceed the appraised value of the property at the date of the loans.  The aggregate amount of all mortgage loans outstanding on the property, including the loans of the REIT, must include all interest (excluding contingent participation in income or appreciation in value of the mortgaged property), the current payment of which may be deferred pursuant to the terms of such loans, to the extent that deferred interest on each loan exceeds 5% per annum of the principal balance of the loan.  This restriction will not apply to an investment in a “publicly-traded entity” which owns, invests in or makes mortgage loans.

 

173


 

Table of Contents

 

(6)           We will not make, or invest in, any mortgage loans that are subordinated to any mortgage or equity interest of IREIC or its affiliates.

 

(7)           We will not invest in equity securities unless a majority of our disinterested directors (including a majority of disinterested independent directors) approves the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable.  This restriction will not apply, however, to purchases by us of our own securities through our share repurchase program or when traded on a secondary market or national securities exchange if a majority of the directors, including a majority of the independent directors, determines that the purchase is in our best interests.

 

(8)           We will not invest in joint ventures with IREIC, our Business Manager, a director or any affiliate thereof as a partner, unless a majority of disinterested directors (including a majority of disinterested independent directors) approves the investment as being fair and reasonable and on substantially the same terms and conditions as those received by other joint venturers.

 

(9)           Our aggregate borrowings secured by all our assets may not exceed 300% of our net assets, unless our board of directors (including a majority of independent directors) determines that a higher level is appropriate and the excess in borrowing is disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report along with the justification for the excess.  For these purposes, “net assets” are defined as total assets, other than intangibles, at cost before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves less total liabilities, calculated at least quarterly on a basis consistently applied.

 

(10)         A majority of the directors, including a majority of the independent directors, must approve all of our investments in properties.

 

(11)         We will not invest in debt that is secured by a mortgage on real property that is subordinate to the lien of other debt, except where the amount of total debt does not exceed 85% of the appraised value of the property unless there is, in the board’s view, substantial justification and provided further that the debt does not exceed the appraised value of the property at the date of the investment.  The value of all of these investments may not exceed 25% of our tangible assets.  The value of all investments in subordinated debt that does not meet these requirements will be limited to 10% of our tangible assets, which would be included within the 25% limit.  This restriction will not apply to an investment in a “publicly-traded entity” owning this type of debt.

 

The investment policies specifically set forth in our charter, which include the restrictions on investments listed above, have been approved by a majority of our independent directors. Our independent directors will review our investment policies at least annually to determine whether these policies are in the best interests of our stockholders.  Each determination and the basis for that determination will be set forth in the minutes of our board of directors meetings.  The board may make material changes to the investment policies set forth in our charter only by amending our charter.  Any amendment to our charter generally requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

 

Pursuant to regulations governing practice before the Internal Revenue Service, unless expressly stated otherwise, any tax advice contained herein or in any attachment hereto cannot be used, and is not intended to be used, by a taxpayer, for (1) the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on the taxpayer under the Code or (2) the promotion, marketing or recommendation of any transaction or matter discussed herein.

 

The following is a summary of the United States federal income tax considerations that are likely to be material to a holder of our common stock. This summary does not discuss all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to a prospective stockholder in light of his or her particular circumstances, nor does it discuss any state, local, foreign or other tax laws or considerations. Further, this summary deals only with stockholders that hold shares of our common stock as “capital assets” within the meaning of section 1221 of the Code. This summary does not purport to discuss all aspects of the United States federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to certain types of stockholders who are subject to special treatment under the United States federal income tax laws, such as insurance companies, tax-exempt entities (except to the extent discussed below), financial institutions, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, traders in securities who elect to mark to market, a person that has a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, a trust, an estate, a REIT, a U.S. expatriate, persons holding shares as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” or other integrated investment, persons who receive shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, persons who are foreign corporations or otherwise are not citizens or residents of the United States (except to the extent discussed below), and partnerships and other entities treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes and the partners in these partnerships.

 

The statements in this discussion are based on:

 

·             current provisions of the Code;

 

·             current, temporary and proposed regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department;

 

·              the legislative history of the Code;

 

·              judicial decisions; and

Each prospective purchaser of our common stock is encouraged to consult with his or her own tax advisor regarding the specific tax consequences to him or her of the purchase, ownership and disposition of common stock in an entity electing to be taxed as a REIT, including the United States federal, state, local, foreign and other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of common stock and of potential changes in applicable tax laws.

 

Opinion of Counsel

 

In connection with this offering, Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. has rendered an opinion to us that we will be organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for our taxable year ending December 31, 2012 or our first year of material operations and that our proposed method of operations, as described in this prospectus, will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ending December 31, 2012 or our first year of material operations.  In providing its opinion, Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. has relied, as to certain factual matters, upon the statements and representations contained in certificates provided by us.  These certificates include representations regarding the manner in which we are and will be owned, the nature of our assets and the past, present and future conduct of our operations.  Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. has not independently verified these facts.  Moreover, our qualification for taxation as a REIT depends on our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code discussed below, the results of which have not been and will not be reviewed by Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the actual results of our operations for any one taxable year will satisfy these requirements. See the “Risk Factors — Federal Income Tax Risks” section of this prospectus. The statements made in this section of the prospectus and in the opinion of Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. are based upon existing law and Treasury Regulations, as currently applicable, currently published administrative positions of the IRS and judicial decisions, all of which are subject to change, either prospectively or retroactively. We cannot assure you that any changes will not modify the conclusions expressed in counsel’s opinion. Moreover, an opinion of counsel is not binding on the IRS, and we cannot assure you that the IRS will not successfully challenge our status as a REIT.  We have not sought and will not seek an advance ruling from the IRS regarding any matter discussed in this prospectus.

 

Tax Status of Our Company

 

The following is a summary of the federal income tax considerations relating to our qualification and taxation as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ending December 31, 2012 or our first year of material operations, and the ownership and disposition of our common stock that are likely to be material to you.  This summary does not address all possible tax considerations that may be material to an investor.  Moreover, this summary does not deal with all tax aspects that might be relevant to you, as a prospective stockholder, in light of your personal circumstances, nor does it deal with particular types of stockholders that are subject to special treatment under the Code, including insurance companies, financial institutions or broker-dealers.  The Code provisions governing the federal income tax treatment of REITs are highly technical and complex, and this summary is qualified in its entirety by the express language of applicable Code provisions, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof.   This summary deals only with our stockholders that hold common stock as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code.  This summary does not address state, local or non-U.S. tax considerations.

 

We base the information in this section on the current Code, current, temporary and proposed Treasury Regulations, the legislative history of the Code and current administrative interpretations of the IRS, including its practices and policies as endorsed in private letter rulings, which are not binding on the IRS, and existing court decisions.  We cannot assure you that new laws, interpretations of laws or court

decisions, any of which may take effect retroactively, will not cause statements in this section to be inaccurate.

 

Regular domestic corporations (corporations that do not qualify as REITs or for other special classification under the Code) generally are subject to federal corporate income taxation on their net taxable income, and stockholders of regular domestic corporations generally are subject to tax on dividends that the stockholders receive. In any taxable year in which we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on our net taxable income that is distributed currently to our stockholders as dividends. Stockholders generally will be subject to taxation on dividends that they receive (other than dividends designated as “capital gain dividends” or “qualified dividend income”) at rates applicable to ordinary income. Dividends designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income may be taxable to non-corporate taxpayers at reduced long-term capital gain rates or, under certain circumstances, the tax rate applicable to “unrecaptured Section 1250 gain” related to certain depreciation on real estate assets. See “— Federal Income Taxation of Stockholders — Taxation of Taxable Domestic Stockholders.”

 

Qualification for taxation as a REIT enables the REIT and its stockholders to substantially eliminate the “double taxation” (that is, taxation at both the corporate and stockholder levels) that generally results from an investment in a regular corporation. Currently, however, stockholders of regular domestic corporations and certain types of foreign corporations who are taxed at individual rates generally are taxed on dividends the stockholders receive prior to 2013 at long-term capital gain rates, which are lower for non-corporate taxpayers than ordinary income rates. In addition, stockholders of regular domestic corporations that are taxed at regular corporate rates receive the benefit of a dividends received deduction that substantially reduces the effective rate that the corporate stockholders pay on these dividends. Still, income earned by a REIT and distributed currently to its stockholders generally will be subject to lower aggregate rates of federal income tax than if such income were earned by a regular domestic corporation, subjected to corporate income tax, and then distributed to stockholders and subjected to tax either at long-term capital gain rates or the effective rate paid by a corporate recipient entitled to the benefit of the dividends received deduction.

 

Although as a REIT we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income taxes on income that we distribute currently to stockholders, we will be subject to federal taxes as follows:

 

·              we will be taxed at regular corporate rates on any “REIT taxable income.” REIT taxable income is the taxable income of the REIT subject to specified adjustments, including a deduction for dividends paid;

 

·              under some circumstances, we (or our stockholders) may be subject to the “alternative minimum tax” due to our items of tax preference and alternative minimum tax adjustments;

 

·              if we have net income from the sale or other disposition of “foreclosure property” that is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, or other nonqualifying income from foreclosure property, we will be subject to tax at the highest corporate rate on this income; to the extent that income from foreclosure property is otherwise qualifying for the 75% income test, this tax is not applicable; in general, in addition to certain other requirements, foreclosure property is property we acquire as a result of having bid in a foreclosure or through other legal means after there was a default on a lease of such property or on an indebtedness secured by such property;

 

177


 

Table of Contents

 

·              our net income from “prohibited transactions” will be subject to a 100% tax; in general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property, other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business;

 

·              if we fail to satisfy either the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test discussed below, but nonetheless maintain our qualification as a REIT because other requirements are met, we will be subject to a tax equal to the gross income attributable to the greater of the amount by which we fail either the 75% or the 95% gross income test, multiplied by a fraction intended to reflect our profitability;

 

·              we will be subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of the required distribution over the sum of the amounts actually distributed and amounts retained for which federal income tax was imposed, if the amount we distribute during a calendar year (plus excess distributions made in prior years) does not equal at least the sum of:

 

·               85% of our REIT ordinary income for the year,

 

·               95% of our REIT capital gain net income for the year, and

 

·               any undistributed taxable income from prior taxable years;

 

·              we may elect to retain and pay income tax on our net capital gain.  In that case, a U.S. stockholder would include the stockholder’s proportionate share of our undistributed net capital gain (to the extent we make a timely designation of such gain to the stockholder) in the stockholder’s income, would be deemed to have paid the stockholder’s proportionate share of the tax that we paid on such gain, and would be allowed a credit for the stockholder’s proportionate share of the tax deemed to have been paid, and an adjustment would be made to increase the tax basis of the stockholder in our common shares;

 

·              we will be subject to a 100% penalty tax on amounts received by us (or on certain expenses deducted by one of our taxable REIT subsidiaries) if certain arrangements among us, one of our taxable REIT subsidiaries, and any tenant of ours are not comparable to similar arrangements among unrelated parties;

 

·              if we fail to satisfy any of the asset tests discussed below (other than a de minimis failure of the 5% or 10% assets tests, as discussed below), due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, and we nonetheless maintain our qualification as a REIT because of specified cure provisions, we will be required to pay a tax equal to the greater of $50,000 or the highest corporate tax rate multiplied by the net income generated by the nonqualifying assets that caused us to fail the test;

 

·              if we fail to satisfy a requirement under the Code which would result in the loss of our REIT status, other than a failure to satisfy a gross income test or an asset test described above, we may retain our qualification as a REIT if the failure was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, and we will be subject to a penalty of $50,000 for each such failure;

 

·              if we fail to comply with the requirement to send annual letters to our stockholders requesting information regarding the actual ownership of our common shares, and the

 

178


 

Table of Contents

 

failure was not due to reasonable cause or was due to willful neglect, we will be subject to a $25,000 penalty or, if the failure is intentional, a $50,000 penalty;

 

·              if we acquire any assets from a non-REIT “C” corporation in a carry-over basis transaction (including, for example, if we were to liquidate a taxable REIT subsidiary), we would be liable for corporate income tax, at the highest applicable corporate rate for the “built-in gain” with respect to those assets (or amount recognized on disposition, if less) if we disposed of those assets within ten years after they were acquired; built-in gain is the amount by which an asset’s fair market value exceeds its adjusted tax basis at the time we acquire the asset; to the extent that assets are transferred to us in a carry-over basis transaction by a partnership in which a corporation owns an interest, we will be subject to this tax in proportion to the non-REIT “C” corporation’s interest in the partnership;

 

·              if we own an equity interest in a taxable mortgage pool, we would be taxable at the highest corporate rate on the portion of any “excess inclusion income” attributable to any tax-exempt stockholders that are not taxable on unrelated business taxable income; for a discussion of what constituted “excess inclusion income,” see “— Taxable Mortgage Pools;” and

 

·              if we have income taxable in a state that does not permit us to take all or a portion of our dividends paid deduction, we will be subject additional income tax in that state.

 

Furthermore, notwithstanding our status as a REIT, (a) we may also have to pay certain state and local income taxes, because not all states and localities treat REITs in the same manner as they are treated for federal income tax purposes and (b) our subsidiaries (such as qualified REIT subsidiaries) that are not subject to federal income tax may have to pay state and local income taxes because not all states and localities treat these entities in the same manner as they are treated for federal income tax purposes. Moreover, any taxable REIT subsidiary of ours will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax and all applicable non-U.S., state and local taxes on its net income and operations. We may also be subject to tax in situations not presently contemplated.

 

REIT Qualification

 

In order to maintain our REIT qualification, we must meet the following criteria:

 

·              we must be organized as an entity that would, but for Sections 856 through 859 of the Code, be taxable as a regular domestic corporation;

 

·              we must not be either a financial institution referred to in section 582(c)(2) of the Code or an insurance company to which subchapter L of the Code applies;

 

·              we must be managed by one or more directors;

 

·              our taxable year must be the calendar year;

 

·              our beneficial ownership must be evidenced by transferable shares;

 

·              beneficial ownership of our capital stock must be held by at least 100 persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a taxable

 

179


 

Table of Contents

 

year of less than 12 months (other than in the first taxable year in which the REIT election is made);

 

·              not more than 50% of the value of our shares of capital stock may be held, directly or indirectly, applying constructive ownership rules, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain specified entities) at any time during the last half of each of our taxable years (other than in the first taxable year in which the REIT election is made);

 

·              we must satisfy the 95% and 75% income tests and the 75%, 25%, 10% and 5% asset tests described below;

 

·              we must distribute to our stockholders each year 90% of our REIT taxable income (which is determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain); and

 

·              we must make an election to be a REIT for 2012 or our first year of material operations and maintain the requirements for REIT status thereafter.

 

We expect to satisfy each of the requirements discussed above. We also expect to satisfy the requirements that are separately described below concerning the nature and amounts of our income and assets and the levels of required annual distributions.

 

Our charter contains provisions restricting the ownership and transfer of our stock in certain instances, which provisions are intended to assist us in satisfying the requirements that beneficial ownership of our capital stock be held by at least 100 persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a taxable year of less than 12 months and that not more than 50% of the value of our shares of capital stock be held, directly or indirectly, applying constructive ownership rules, by five or fewer individuals, including certain entities, at any time during the last half of each of our taxable years.  These ownership and transfer restrictions, however, may not ensure that we will, in all cases, be able to satisfy the share ownership requirements described above. If we fail to satisfy these share ownership requirements, except as provided below, our status as a REIT will terminate. See “— Failure to Qualify as a REIT.” Furthermore, the distribution reinvestment plan contains provisions that prevent it from causing a violation of these tests as will the terms of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire our common stock. Pursuant to the applicable requirements under federal income tax laws, we will maintain records that disclose the actual ownership of the outstanding stock, and demand written statements each year from the record holders of specified percentages of the stock disclosing the beneficial owners. If, however, we comply with these rules and we do not know, or would not have known through the exercise of reasonable diligence, that we failed to meet the requirement that no more than 50% in value of our stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as described above), we will be treated as having met this requirement.

 

Those stockholders failing or refusing to comply with our written demand are required by the Treasury Regulations to submit, with their tax returns, a similar statement disclosing the actual ownership of stock and certain other information. See “Description of Securities — Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer.”

 

Asset Tests. We must satisfy, at the close of each calendar quarter of the taxable year, certain tests based on the composition of our assets. After initially meeting these asset tests at the close of any quarter, we will not lose our status as a REIT for failure to satisfy the asset tests at the end of a later quarter solely due to changes in value of our assets. In addition, if the failure to satisfy these asset tests results from an acquisition during a quarter, the failure can be cured by disposing of non-qualifying assets within thirty days after the close of that quarter. We intend to maintain adequate records of the value of our assets to

 

180


 

Table of Contents

 

ensure compliance with these tests, and we intend to act within thirty days after the close of any quarter or otherwise comply with the preceding rules as may be required to cure any noncompliance.

 

Certain relief provisions may be available to us if we discover a failure to satisfy the asset tests described below after the 30 day cure period. Under these provisions, we will be deemed to have met the 5% and 10% REIT asset tests described below if the value of our nonqualifying assets (i) does not exceed the lesser of (a) 1% of the total value of our assets at the end of the applicable quarter or (b) $10,000,000, and (ii) we dispose of the nonqualifying assets or otherwise satisfy such asset tests within (a) six months after the last day of the quarter in which the failure to satisfy the asset tests is discovered or (b) the period of time prescribed by Treasury Regulations to be issued. For violations of any of the asset tests due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect and that are, in the case of the 5% and 10% asset tests, in excess of the de minimis exception described above, we may avoid disqualification as a REIT after the 30-day cure period by taking steps including (i) disposing of sufficient nonqualifying assets or taking other actions which allow us to meet the asset tests within (a) six months after the last day of the quarter in which the failure to satisfy the asset tests is discovered or (b) the period of time prescribed by Treasury Regulations to be issued, (ii) paying a tax equal to the greater of (a) $50,000 or (b) the highest corporate tax rate multiplied by the net income generated by the nonqualifying assets, and (iii) disclosing certain information to the IRS.

 

75% Asset Test. At the close of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets must be represented by “real estate assets,” cash, cash items (including receivables) and qualified government securities. Real estate assets include:

 

·              real property (including interests in real property and interests in mortgages on real property);

 

·              shares in other qualifying REITs; and

 

·              any property (not otherwise a real estate asset) attributable to the temporary investment of “new capital” in stock or a debt instrument, but only for the one-year period beginning on the date we received the new capital.

 

Property will qualify as being attributable to the temporary investment of new capital if the money used to purchase the stock or debt instrument is received by us in exchange for our stock (other than amounts received pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) or in a public offering of debt obligations that have a maturity of at least five years.

 

Additionally, regular and residual interests in a real estate mortgage investment conduit, known as a REMIC, are considered real estate assets. However, if less than 95% of the assets of a REMIC are real estate assets, we will be treated as holding a proportionate share of the assets and income of the REMIC directly.

 

We intend that the purchase contracts for a new property will apportion no more than 5% of the purchase price of any property to property other than “real property,” as defined in the Code. In addition, we intend to invest funds not used to acquire properties in cash sources, “new capital” investments or other liquid investments that will allow us to qualify under the 75% asset test. Therefore, our investment in real properties is anticipated to constitute “real estate assets” and should allow us to meet the 75% asset test.

 

Other Asset Tests. There are three other asset tests that apply to us at the close of each calendar quarter. First, the value of any one issuer’s securities owned by us may not exceed 5% of the value of our

 

181

total assets. Second, we may not own more than 10% of any one issuer’s outstanding securities, as measured by either voting power or value. The 5% and 10% asset tests do not apply to certain securities of other REITs, securities of qualified REIT subsidiaries or taxable REIT subsidiaries (which are described below) and interests in partnerships (or other entities classified as partnerships for federal income tax purposes), and the 10% value test does not apply to “straight debt” having specified characteristics, as well as other specified debt instruments such as a loan to an individual or estate and a security issued by a REIT. Finally, the aggregate value of all securities (including securities issued by our taxable REIT subsidiaries) held by us, excluding qualified government securities, stock issued by our qualified REIT subsidiaries and other securities that quality as real estate assets under the 75% asset test may not exceed 25% of the value of our total assets. We intend to invest funds not otherwise invested in properties in cash sources and other liquid investments in a manner which will enable us to satisfy the asset tests described in this paragraph.

 

A qualified REIT subsidiary is a corporation that is wholly owned by a REIT and does not jointly elect with the REIT to be classified as a taxable REIT subsidiary of the REIT. All assets, liabilities and tax attributes of a qualified REIT subsidiary are treated as assets, liabilities and tax attributes of the REIT. A qualified REIT subsidiary is not subject to federal income tax, but may be subject to state, local or foreign taxes. We may hold investments through qualified REIT subsidiaries.

 

A taxable REIT subsidiary is a corporation (other than another REIT) that is owned in whole or in part by a REIT, and joins in an election with the REIT to be classified as a taxable REIT subsidiary of the REIT. A corporation that is more than 35% owned by a taxable REIT subsidiary also will be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary. A taxable REIT subsidiary may not be a qualified REIT subsidiary, and vice versa. As described below regarding the 75% gross income test, a taxable REIT subsidiary is utilized in much the same way an independent contractor is used to provide certain types of services without causing the REIT to receive or accrue certain types of non-qualifying income. In addition to utilizing independent contractors to provide certain services in connection with the operation of our properties, we also may utilize taxable REIT subsidiaries to carry out these functions.

 

In the case of a REIT that is a partner in a partnership, Treasury Regulations provide that the REIT is deemed to own its proportionate share of the partnership’s assets (generally based on its percentage interest in partnership capital, subject to special rules relating to the 10% value test which take into account the REIT’s interest in any securities issued by the partnership, excluding certain specified securities), for purposes of the asset tests described above and to earn its proportionate share of the partnership’s income for purposes of the gross income tests applicable to REITs as described below. In addition, the assets and gross income of the partnership are deemed to retain the same character in the hands of the REIT. Thus, our proportionate share, based upon our percentage capital interest, of the assets and items of income of partnerships in which we own an equity interest are treated as our assets and items of income for purposes of applying the REIT requirements. Consequently, to the extent that we directly or indirectly hold an equity interest in a partnership, the partnership’s assets and operations may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT, even though we may have no control, or only limited influence, over the partnership. A summary of certain rules governing the federal income taxation of partnerships and their partners is provided below in “Tax Aspects of Investments in Partnerships.” We may hold investments in partnerships and other entities (such as limited liability companies) that are classified as partnerships for federal income tax purposes.

 

We believe that our holdings of securities and other assets will comply with the foregoing REIT asset requirements, and we intend to monitor compliance on an ongoing basis.

Gross Income Tests. We must satisfy for each calendar year two separate tests based on the composition of our gross income (excluding gains from prohibited transactions and certain hedging transactions), as defined under our method of accounting.

 

75% Gross Income Test. At least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year must result from:

 

·             rents from real property;

 

·             interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property;

 

·              gains from the sale or other disposition of real property (including interests in real property and interests in mortgages on real property) other than property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our trade or business;

 

·              dividends from other qualifying REITs and gain (other than gain from prohibited transactions) from the sale of shares of other qualifying REITs;

 

·              other specified investments relating to real property or mortgages thereon; and

 

·               income attributable to temporary investment of new capital, as defined under and for the one-year period described above under the 75% asset test.

 

We intend to invest funds not otherwise invested in real properties in cash sources or other liquid investments in a manner that will allow us to qualify under the 75% gross income test.

 

To the extent that a REIT derives interest income from a mortgage loan or income from the rental of real property, the income generally will qualify for purposes of the gross income tests only if it is not based on the net income or profits of any person.  Interest and rental income, however, may be based on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or sales.  This limitation does not apply, however, where the borrower or lessee leases substantially all of its interest in the property to tenants or subtenants, to the extent that the rental income derived by the borrower or lessee, as the case may be, would qualify as rents from real property had it been earned directly by a REIT, as described below.

 

Income attributable to a lease of real property will generally qualify as “rents from real property” under the 75% gross income test (and the 95% gross income test, described below), subject to the rules discussed below:

 

·              We, or an actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of our capital stock, must not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the interests in the assets or net profits of the tenant or, if the tenant is a corporation, 10% or more of the voting power or value of all classes of stock of the tenant. Rents received from a tenant that is one of our taxable REIT subsidiaries, however, will not be excluded from the definition of “rents from real property” as a result of this condition if at least 90% of the leased space at the property to which the rents relate is leased to third parties, and the rents paid by the taxable REIT subsidiary are substantially comparable to rents paid by our other tenants for comparable space. Whether rents paid by one of our taxable REIT subsidiaries are substantially comparable to rents paid by our other tenants is determined at the time the lease with the taxable REIT subsidiary is entered into, extended, and modified, if the modification increases the rents due under the lease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if a lease with a “controlled taxable REIT subsidiary” is modified and the modification

 

183


 

Table of Contents

 

results in an increase in the rents payable by the taxable REIT subsidiary, any increase will not qualify as “rents from real property.” For purposes of this rule, a “controlled taxable REIT subsidiary” is a taxable REIT subsidiary in which we own stock possessing more than 50% of the voting power or more than 50% of the total value of the outstanding stock of the taxable REIT subsidiary.

 

·              The portion of rent attributable to personal property rented in connection with real property will not qualify, unless the portion attributable to personal property is 15% or less of the total rent received under, or in connection with, the lease.

 

·              Generally, rent will not qualify if it is based in whole, or in part, on the income or profits of any person from the underlying property. However, rent will not fail to qualify if it is based on a fixed percentage (or designated varying percentages) of gross receipts or sales, including amounts above a base amount so long as the base amount is fixed at the time the lease is entered into, the provisions are in accordance with normal business practice and the arrangement is not an indirect method for basing rent on income or profits.

 

·              Rental income will not qualify if we furnish or render services to tenants or manage or operate the underlying property, subject to a 1% de minimis exception, other than through a permissible “independent contractor” from whom we derive no revenue, or through a taxable REIT subsidiary. This requirement, however, does not apply to the extent that the services, management or operations we provide are “usually or customarily rendered” in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only, and are not otherwise considered “rendered to the occupant.”

 

With respect to the “usual or customarily rendered” rule, we anticipate that our tenants will receive some services in connection with their leases and that the services to be provided are usually or customarily rendered in connection with the rental of the properties and are not services that are considered rendered to the occupant. Therefore, providing these services should not cause the rents we receive with respect to the properties to fail to qualify as rents from real property for purposes of the 75% gross income test (or the 95% gross income test, described below). Our board of directors intends to hire qualifying independent contractors or to utilize taxable REIT subsidiaries to render services that it believes, after consulting with our legal counsel, are not usually or customarily rendered in connection with the rental of space or are considered rendered to the occupant.

 

The 95% Gross Income Test. In addition to deriving 75% of our gross income from the sources listed above, at least 95% of our gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions and certain hedging transactions) for the taxable year must be derived from:

 

·             sources which satisfy the 75% gross income test;

 

·              dividends;

 

·              interest; and

 

·              gain from the sale or disposition of stock or other securities that are not assets held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our trade or business.

 

Dividends and interest on obligations not collateralized by an interest in real property qualify under the 95% gross income test, but not under the 75% gross income test (other than income attributable

 

184

to temporary investment of new capital). We intend to invest funds not otherwise invested in properties in cash sources or other liquid investments that will allow us to qualify under the 95% gross income test.

 

If we fail to satisfy either the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test for any taxable year, we may retain our status as a REIT for such year if we satisfy the IRS that the failure was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, and following our identification of the failure, we file a schedule describing each item of our gross income. If this relief provision is available, we would be subject to a tax equal to the gross income attributable to the greater of the amount by which we failed the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test multiplied by a fraction intended to reflect our profitability.

 

Annual Distribution Requirements. In addition to the other tests described above, we are required to distribute dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to the stockholders in an amount at least equal to:

 

·              the sum of:

 

·      90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and by excluding any net capital gain); and

 

·      90% of the excess of the net income (after tax) from foreclosure property; and

 

·              less the sum of certain types of items of non-cash income over 5% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and by excluding any net capital gain).

 

Determinations whether sufficient amounts have been distributed is based on amounts paid in the taxable year to which they relate, or in the following taxable year if we:

 

·              declare a dividend before the due date of our tax return (including extensions);

 

·              distribute the dividend within the 12-month period following the close of the taxable year (and not later than the date of the first regular dividend payment made after such declaration); and

 

·              file an appropriate election with our tax return.

 

Additionally, dividends that we declare in October, November or December in a given year payable to stockholders of record in any such month will be treated as having been paid on December 31 of that year so long as the dividends are actually paid during January of the following year. If we fail to meet the annual distribution requirements as a result of an adjustment to our federal income tax return by the IRS or by filing an amended return, we may cure the failure by paying a “deficiency dividend” (plus interest to the IRS) within a specified period.

 

If we do not distribute all of our net capital gain or distribute at least 90%, but less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to federal income tax on the undistributed portion. Furthermore, to the extent that we fail to distribute by year end at least the sum of (i) 85% of our REIT ordinary income for such year, (ii) 95% of our REIT capital gain net income for such year, and (iii) any undistributed taxable income from prior years, we would be subject to an excise tax equal to 4% of the difference between the amount required to be distributed under this formula and the sum of (a) the

 

185


 

Table of Contents

 

amount actually distributed and (b) the amount of undistributed income on which we paid corporate income tax.

 

We intend to pay sufficient dividends each year to satisfy the annual distribution requirements and avoid federal income tax on our REIT taxable income or net capital gains. It is possible that we may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet the annual distribution requirements due to tax accounting rules and other timing differences. We will closely monitor the relationship between our REIT taxable income and cash flow and, if necessary to comply with the annual distribution requirements, we may (but are not required to) borrow funds to provide fully the necessary cash flow.

 

Recordkeeping.  In order to continue to qualify as a REIT, we must maintain records as specified in applicable Treasury Regulations.  Further, we must request on an annual basis information from our stockholders designed to disclose the indirect ownership of our outstanding shares.  We intend to comply with these requirements.

 

Failure to Qualify as a REIT. If we fail to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a REIT in any taxable year and the relief provisions are not available or cannot be met, we will not be able to deduct our dividends and will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates, thereby reducing cash available for distributions. In such event, all distributions to stockholders (to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits), generally will be taxable as dividend income. Non-corporate taxpayers may be eligible for a reduced 15% maximum federal tax rate (set to expire for tax years beginning after December 31, 2012), and corporate taxpayers may be eligible for the dividends received deduction. This potential “double taxation” would result from our failure to qualify as a REIT. Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, we will not be eligible to elect REIT status for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost.

 

We should not lose our REIT status as the result of a failure to satisfy a REIT requirement if the failure is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect and we pay a tax of $50,000 for each failure (other than the asset tests and the gross income tests, which relief provisions have been described above). We might not be entitled to this relief in all cases of a failure to satisfy a REIT requirement. See “Risk Factors — Federal Income Tax Risks” for additional discussion regarding the failure to satisfy a REIT requirement.

 

Prohibited Transactions. We will be subject to a 100% federal income tax on any net income derived from “prohibited transactions.” Net income derived from prohibited transactions arises from the sale or exchange of property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our business which is not foreclosure property. In addition, the IRS may assert that our origination or acquisition of loans and subsequent securitization should be treated as a prohibited transaction.  The Code includes a safe harbor provision that treats a sale of property as not constituting a prohibited transaction, the income from which would be subject to the 100% tax, if the following requirements are met:

 

·              the property is a real estate asset under the 75% asset test;

 

·              the property has been held for at least two years;

 

·              aggregate expenditures incurred in the two-year period preceding sale that are includable in the tax basis of the property were not in excess of 30% of the net selling price;

 

186


 

Table of Contents

 

·              with respect to property that constitutes land or improvements (excluding foreclosure property and lease terminations), the property was held for production of rental income for at least two years;

 

·              either (i) we do not make more than seven sales of property during the taxable year (excluding foreclosure property and any involuntary conversion to which Section 1033 of the Code applies), (ii) the aggregate adjusted tax bases of the properties sold by us during the taxable year do not exceed 10% of the aggregate tax bases of all of our assets, each of these tax bases measured as of the beginning of the taxable year, or (iii) the fair market value of the properties sold by us during the taxable year do not exceed 10% of the fair market value of all of our assets, each of these values measured as of the beginning of the taxable; and

 

·              if we have made more than seven sales of property during the taxable year (excluding foreclosure property and any involuntary conversion to which Section 1033 of the Code applies), substantially all of the marketing and development expenditures with respect to the property were made through an independent contractor from whom we do not derive or receive any income.

 

For purposes of the limitation on the number of sales that we may complete in any given year in order to comply with the requirements of the safe harbor described above, the sale of more than one property to one buyer will be treated as one sale. Moreover, if we obtain replacement property pursuant to a like kind exchange to which Section 1031 of the Code applies, then we will be entitled to tack the holding period that we had in the relinquished property for purposes of complying with the two-year holding period requirement.  The failure of a sale to fall within the safe harbor does not alone cause the sale to be a prohibited transaction and subject to the 100% tax on prohibited transactions.  In that event, the particular facts and circumstances of the transaction must be analyzed to determine whether the sale is a prohibited transaction.

 

Although we may eventually sell some or all of our properties, our primary intention in acquiring and operating real estate properties is the production of rental income, and we do not expect to hold any property for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our business.

 

Penalty Tax. Any redetermined rents, redetermined deductions or excess interest we generate will be subject to a 100% penalty tax. In general, redetermined rents are rents from real property that are overstated as a result of any services furnished to any of our tenants by one of our taxable REIT subsidiaries, and redetermined deductions and excess interest represent any amounts that are deducted by a taxable REIT subsidiary for amounts paid to us that are in excess of the amounts that would have been deducted based on arm’s length negotiations. Rents we receive will not constitute redetermined rents if they qualify for certain safe harbor provisions contained in the Code.

 

We intend that, in all instances in which our taxable REIT subsidiaries will provide services to our tenants, the fees paid to our taxable REIT subsidiaries for these services will be at arm’s length rates, although the fees paid may not satisfy the safe-harbor provisions referenced above. These determinations are inherently factual, and the IRS has broad discretion to assert that amounts paid between related parties should be reallocated to reflect their respective incomes clearly. If the IRS successfully made such an assertion, we would be required to pay a 100% penalty tax on the excess of an arm’s length fee for tenant services over the amount actually paid.

 

Derivatives and Hedging Transactions. We and our subsidiaries may enter into hedging transactions with respect to interest rate exposure or currency rate fluctuations on one or more of our

 

187


 

Table of Contents

 

assets or liabilities. Any hedging transactions could take a variety of forms, including the use of derivative instruments such as interest rate swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts and options. If we or a pass-through subsidiary enters into such a contract either (i) to reduce interest rate risk on indebtedness incurred or to be incurred to acquire or carry real estate assets or (ii) to manage risk of currency fluctuations with respect to any item of income that would qualify under the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test, and, in each case, we clearly and timely identify the transaction, income from the hedging transaction, including gain from the sale or disposition of the financial instrument or any periodic income from the instrument, would not constitute gross income for purposes of the 95% or 75% gross income tests. We intend to structure any hedging transactions in a manner that does not jeopardize our status as a REIT. We may conduct some or all of our hedging activities through a taxable REIT subsidiary or other corporate entity, the income from which may be subject to federal income tax, rather than participating in the arrangements directly or through pass-through subsidiaries to the extent such income would jeopardize our REIT status. No assurance can be given, however, that our hedging activities will not give rise to income that does not qualify for purposes of either or both of the gross income tests, and will not adversely affect our ability to satisfy the REIT qualification requirements.

 

Taxable Mortgage Pools. An entity, or a portion of an entity, may be classified as a taxable mortgage pool (“TMP”) under the Code if:

 

·              substantially all of its assets consist of debt obligations or interests in debt obligations;

 

·              more than 50% of those debt obligations or interests are real estate mortgages or interests in real estate mortgages as of specified testing dates;

 

·              the entity has issued debt obligations that have two or more maturities; and

 

·              the payments required to be made by the entity on the debt obligations it issues “bear a relationship” to the payments to be received by the entity on the debt obligations or interests that it holds as assets.

 

Under Treasury Regulations, if less than 80% of the assets of an entity (or a portion of an entity) consist of debt obligations, these debt obligations are considered not to comprise “substantially all” of its assets, and therefore the entity would not be treated as a TMP. Financing arrangements (particularly securitizations) entered into, directly or indirectly, by us could give rise to TMPs, with the consequences as described below.

 

If an entity, or a portion of an entity, is classified as a TMP, it is generally treated as a taxable corporation for federal income tax purposes. In the case of a REIT, or a portion of a REIT, or a disregarded subsidiary of a REIT, including a qualified REIT subsidiary, that is a TMP, however, special rules apply. The TMP is not treated as a corporation that is subject to corporate income tax, and the TMP classification does not directly affect the tax status of the REIT. Rather, under regulations to be issued by the Treasury Department, the consequences of the TMP classification would, in general, be limited to the stockholders of the REIT (subject to limited exceptions described below). The current treatment, however, is uncertain because the Treasury Department has not yet issued regulations to govern the treatment of a REIT (or portion thereof) that is a TMP. Based on the rules to which any future Treasury Regulations are intended to correspond, a portion of the REIT’s income from the TMP arrangement, which might be non-cash accrued income, could be treated as “excess inclusion income.” The REIT’s excess inclusion income would be allocated among its stockholders. A stockholder’s share of excess inclusion income (i) would not be allowed to be offset by any net operating losses otherwise available to the stockholder, (ii) would be subject to tax as unrelated business taxable income in the hands of most

 

188


 

Table of Contents

 

types of stockholders that are otherwise generally exempt from federal income tax, and (iii) to the extent allocable to most types of foreign stockholders, would result in the application of U.S. federal income tax withholding at the maximum rate (30%), without reduction for any otherwise applicable income tax treaty. See “— Federal Income Taxation of Stockholders” below for the general rules relating to the taxation of stockholders. To the extent that excess inclusion income is allocated to a tax-exempt stockholder of a REIT that is not subject to unrelated business income tax (such as government entities or charitable remainder trusts), the REIT would be taxable on this income at the highest applicable corporate tax rate (currently 35%). The manner in which excess inclusion income would be allocated among shares of different classes of stock is not clear under current law. Tax-exempt investors, foreign investors and taxpayers with net operating losses should carefully consider the tax consequences described above and are urged to consult their tax advisors.

 

We may limit the structures we use for financing arrangements, such as securitizations, that could give rise to TMPs, even though these structures might otherwise be beneficial to us, in order to avoid risks associated with satisfying the REIT requirement tests. For example, we might conduct these arrangements through a taxable REIT subsidiary.  To the extent that we engage in these activities through a taxable REIT subsidiary, the income associated with the activities generally would be subject to taxation at regular corporate income tax rates.  In addition, the level of activities engaged in by our taxable REIT subsidiaries must permit us to satisfy the 75% gross income test because dividends from a taxable REIT subsidiary generally do not constitute qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test (as well as permit us to satisfy the requirement that no more than 25% of our value may be in the form of specified securities, including securities issued by our taxable REIT subsidiaries).

 

If a subsidiary partnership, not wholly owned by us directly or through one or more disregarded entities, is a TMP, the foregoing rules would not apply. Rather, the partnership that is a TMP would be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, and would potentially be subject to corporate income tax. In addition, this characterization would alter the calculations of our asset tests and gross income tests, and could adversely affect our compliance with those requirements. We intend to monitor the structure of any TMPs in which we have an interest to ensure that they will not adversely affect our status as a REIT.

 

Sale-Leaseback Transactions

 

Some of our investments may be in the form of sale-leaseback transactions.  In most instances, depending on the economic terms of the transaction, we will be treated for federal income tax purposes as either the owner of the property subject to a true lease or the holder of a debt obligation secured by the property.  We do not expect to request an opinion of counsel concerning the status of any leases of properties as true leases for federal income tax purposes.

 

The IRS may take the position that a specific sale-leaseback transaction that we treat as a true lease is not a true lease for federal income tax purposes but is, instead, a financing arrangement or loan.  We also may structure some sale-leaseback transactions as loans for federal income tax purposes.  In this event, for purposes of the asset tests and the 75% gross income test, each such loan likely would be viewed as secured by real property to the extent of the fair market value of the underlying property.  We expect that, for this purpose, the fair market value of the underlying property would be determined without taking into account our lease.  If a sale-leaseback transaction is characterized as a loan for federal income tax purposes, we might fail to satisfy the asset tests or the gross income tests and, consequently, lose our REIT status effective with the year of the transaction.  Alternatively, the amount of our REIT taxable income could be recalculated, which might also cause us to fail to meet the distribution requirement for a taxable year.

Tax Aspects of Investments in Partnerships

 

General. We may hold investments through entities (such as limited liability companies) that are classified as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. In general, partnerships are “pass-through” entities that are not subject to federal income tax. Rather, partners are allocated their proportionate shares of the items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of a partnership, and are potentially subject to tax on these items, without regard to whether the partners receive a distribution from the partnership. We will include in our income our proportionate share of these partnership items for purposes of the various gross income tests and in the computation of our REIT taxable income. Moreover, for purposes of the asset tests, we will include our proportionate share of assets held by subsidiary partnerships. We generally will apply these tests to a partnership based on our interest in the capital of the partnership, subject to the special rule relating to the 10% value test described above.

 

Consequently, to the extent that we hold an interest in a partnership, the partnership’s assets and operations may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT, even though we may have no control, or only limited influence, over the partnership.

 

Entity Classification. Our investment in partnerships involves special tax considerations, including the possibility of a challenge by the IRS of the status of any of our subsidiary partnerships as a partnership, as opposed to an association taxable as a corporation, for federal income tax purposes (for example, if the IRS were to assert that a subsidiary partnership is a TMP). See “ — REIT Qualification — Taxable Mortgage Pools” above, for a discussion of the income tax treatment of taxable mortgage pools. If any of these entities were treated as an association for federal income tax purposes, it would be taxable as a corporation and therefore could be subject to an entity-level tax on its income. In such a situation, the character of our assets and items of gross income would change and could preclude us from satisfying the asset tests (particularly the 10% asset tests, generally preventing a REIT from owning more than 10% of the voting securities, or more than 10% of the securities by value, of a corporation) or the gross income tests as discussed in “— REIT Qualification — Asset Tests” and “— Gross Income Tests,” and in turn could prevent us from qualifying as a REIT. See “— REIT Qualification — Failure to Qualify as a REIT,” above, for a discussion of the effect of our failure to meet these tests for a taxable year. In addition, any change in the status of any of our subsidiary partnerships for tax purposes might be treated as a taxable event, in which case we could have taxable income that is subject to the annual distribution requirements without receiving any cash.  See “— REIT Qualification — Annual Distribution Requirements,” above.

 

Tax Allocations with Respect to Partnership Properties. Under the Code and the Treasury Regulations, income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to appreciated or depreciated property that is contributed to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership must be allocated for tax purposes in a manner such that the contributing partner is charged with, or benefits from, the unrealized gain or unrealized loss associated with the property at the time of the contribution. The amount of the unrealized gain or unrealized loss generally is equal to the difference between the fair market value of the contributed property at the time of contribution, and the adjusted tax basis of the property at the time of contribution (a “book-tax difference”). Such allocations are solely for federal income tax purposes and do not affect the book capital accounts or other economic or legal arrangements among the partners.

 

To the extent that one of our subsidiary partnerships acquires appreciated (or depreciated) properties by way of capital contributions from one or more of its partners, allocations would need to be made in a manner consistent with these requirements. If a partner contributes cash to a partnership at a time that the partnership holds appreciated (or depreciated) property, the Treasury Regulations provide for a similar allocation of these items to the other (i.e., non-contributing) partners. These rules may apply to our contribution to any subsidiary partnerships of the cash proceeds received in offerings of our stock. As a result, partners, including us, in subsidiary partnerships, could be allocated greater or lesser amounts of

depreciation and taxable income in respect of a partnership’s properties than would be the case if all of the partnership’s assets (including any contributed assets) had a tax basis equal to their fair market values at the time of any contributions to that partnership. This treatment could cause us to recognize, over a period of time, taxable income in excess of cash flow from the partnership, which might adversely affect our ability to comply with the annual distribution requirements discussed above.

 

Federal Income Taxation of Stockholders

 

Taxation of Taxable Domestic Stockholders. Recently enacted amendments to the Code generally impose a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on certain types of payments made to a foreign financial institution or a non-financial foreign entity after December 31, 2012, including distributions made with respect to our capital stock and gross proceeds from the sale or exchange of shares of our capital stock. The IRS released a notice and the Treasury Department has promulgated proposed Treasury Regulations, however, delaying implementation of these rules with respect to payments such as distributions made with respect to our capital stock until January 1, 2014, and with respect to payments such as gross proceeds from sales or exchanges of our capital stock until January 1, 2015. After the applicable effective date with respect to a payment, the 30% withholding tax will apply (1) to a foreign financial institution unless the foreign financial institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to undertake to obtain and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding certain direct and indirect U.S. accountholders and to collect the withholding tax on payments to certain accountholders (generally where the actions of the accountholders prevent compliance with reporting and other requirements), and the foreign financial institution meets certain other specified requirements or (2) to a non-financial foreign entity unless the non-financial foreign entity certifies that it does not have any direct or indirect substantial U.S. owners or provides the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each direct and indirect substantial U.S. owner, and the non-financial foreign entity meets certain other specified requirements.  Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of any withholding taxes.  Non-U.S. holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of these new provisions of the Code on their investment in our capital stock.

 

Dividend income is characterized as “portfolio” income under the passive loss rules and cannot be offset by a stockholder’s current or suspended passive losses. Corporate stockholders cannot claim the dividends received deduction for dividends from us unless we lose our REIT status. Distributions that we properly designate as capital gain dividends generally will be taxable as a gain from the sale or disposition of a capital asset, to the extent that the gain does not exceed our actual net capital gain for the taxable year. We are required to designate which maximum rate bracket is applicable to each category of capital gain dividends, which currently are taxable to non-corporate stockholders at a 15% or 25% rate. If we fail to designate the applicable bracket, all capital gain dividends are taxable to non-corporate stockholders at the 25% rate. However, corporate stockholders may be required to treat up to 20% of some types of capital gain dividends as ordinary income. Although stockholders generally recognize taxable income from a distribution in the year that the distribution is received, any distribution we declare in October, November or December of any year and is payable to a stockholder of record on a specific date in any such month will be treated as both paid by us and received by the stockholder on December 31 of the year it was declared provided that we actually pay the distribution during January of the following calendar year. Because we are not a pass-through entity for federal income tax purposes (such as a partnership), stockholders may not use any of our operating or capital losses to reduce their tax liabilities. We also may decide to retain, rather than distribute, our net long-term capital gains and pay any tax thereon. In this case, each stockholder would include the stockholder’s proportionate share of the gains in income and receive a credit on the stockholder’s returns for the stockholder’s proportionate share of our tax payments.  However, stockholders that are tax-exempt, such as charitable organizations or qualified

 

191


 

Table of Contents

 

pension plans, would have to file tax returns to claim a refund of their deemed payment of the tax liability.

 

Non-corporate stockholders that recognize capital gain upon the sale or disposition of shares of our common stock generally are subject to a maximum federal income tax rate of 15% (prior to January 1, 2013) if the non-corporate stockholder holds the shares of common stock for more than twelve months, and are subject to taxation at ordinary federal income rates (of up to a maximum rate equal to 35% prior to January 1, 2013) if the non-corporate stockholder holds the shares of common stock for twelve months or less. Corporate stockholders that recognize capital gain upon the sale or disposition of shares of our common stock generally are subject to federal income taxation at a maximum rate of 35% without regard to holding period. A stockholder that recognizes a capital loss upon the sale or disposition of shares of our common stock are generally available only to offset capital gain income of the stockholder but not ordinary income (except in the case of non-corporate stockholders who may offset up to $3,000 of ordinary income against capital loss each year), and any unused capital loss carry forward to the following year. In addition, any loss upon a sale or disposition of shares of common stock by a stockholder who has held the shares of common stock for six months or less, after applying holding period rules, will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of distributions received from us that are required to be treated by the stockholder as long-term capital gain. In addition, under the so-called “wash sale” rules (as defined in the Code), all or a portion of any loss that a stockholder realizes upon a taxable sale or disposition of shares of common stock may be disallowed if the stockholder purchases (including through our Distribution Reinvestment Plan) other shares of our stock (or stock substantially similar to our stock) within 30 days before or after the sale or disposition.

 

If a stockholder recognizes a loss upon a subsequent sale or disposition of our stock or other securities in an amount that exceeds a prescribed threshold, the provisions of Treasury Regulations involving “reportable transactions” (as defined in the Code) might apply, with a resulting requirement to separately disclose the loss-generating transaction to the IRS. These regulations, though directed primarily towards tax shelters, are broadly written and apply to transactions that would not typically be considered tax shelters. The Code imposes significant penalties for failure to comply with these requirements. You are encouraged to consult your tax advisor concerning any possible disclosure obligation with respect to the receipt or disposition of our stock or securities or transactions that we might undertake directly or indirectly. Moreover, you should be aware that we and other participants in the transactions in which we are involved (including their advisors) might be subject to disclosure or other requirements pursuant to these regulations, and that the failure to make any required disclosures would result in substantial penalties.

 

We will report to our domestic stockholders and to the IRS the amount of dividends paid during each calendar year, and the amount (if any) of federal income tax we withhold. A stockholder may be subject to backup withholding (the current rate of which is 28%) with respect to dividends paid unless the stockholder: (a) is a corporation or comes within other exempt categories; or (b) provides us with a taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss of exemption, and otherwise complies with applicable requirements. A stockholder that does not provide us with the taxpayer’s correct taxpayer identification number may also be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. Any amount paid as backup withholding may be credited against the stockholder’s federal income tax liability. See “Information Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding for U.S. Stockholders” below.  In addition, we may be required to withhold a portion of distributions made to any stockholders who fail to certify their non-foreign status to us. See “— Taxation of Foreign Stockholders” below.

 

Passive Activity Loss and Investment Interest Limitations. Distributions that we make and gain arising from the sale or exchange by a domestic stockholder of our stock will not be treated as passive activity income. As a result, stockholders will not be able to apply any “passive losses” against income or

 

192


 

Table of Contents

 

gain relating to our stock. To the extent that distributions we make do not constitute a return of capital, the distributions generally will be treated as investment income for purposes of computing the investment interest limitation.

 

Net Investment Income.  Recently enacted amendments to the Code generally impose a tax of 3.8% on certain individuals for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, on the lesser of (a) the individual’s “net investment income” for the taxable year or (b) the excess of (i) the individual’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over (ii) a threshold amount.  Net investment income consists of specified types of income earned by the individual, including gross income from dividends on and net gain from a sale or exchange of shares of our common stock, less certain deductions.  The threshold amount applicable to an individual generally is equal to $250,000 for married individuals filing jointly or $200,000 for other individuals.  This new tax generally applies to certain estates and trusts with net investment income based on rules similar to the rules applicable to individuals to determine the amount of income subject to the tax.  U.S. stockholders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of these new provisions of the Code on their investment in our common stock.

 

Taxation of Tax-Exempt Stockholders. Distributions on shares of our common stock to a stockholder that is a tax-exempt entity should not constitute unrelated business taxable income, or UBTI, unless the stockholder borrows funds (or otherwise incurs acquisition indebtedness within the meaning of the Code) to acquire the common stock, or the common stock otherwise is used in an unrelated trade or business of the tax-exempt entity. See “— REIT Qualification — Taxable Mortgage Pools” above for special rules relating to UBTI of tax-exempt stockholders if we are treated as investing in a taxable mortgage pool.

 

For tax-exempt stockholders that are social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations, supplemental unemployment benefit trusts, or qualified group legal services plans exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(c)(7), (c)(9), (c)(17) or (c)(20) of the Code, respectively, income from an investment in our common stock will constitute unrelated business taxable income unless the organization is able to claim properly a deduction for amounts set aside or placed in reserve for specific purposes so as to offset the income generated by its investment in our common stock. These entities are encouraged to consult their tax advisors concerning these “set aside” and reserve requirements.

 

Special rules apply to the ownership of REIT shares by certain tax-exempt pension trusts. If we would fail to satisfy the “five or fewer” share ownership test (discussed above) in the event that the stock held by certain-exempt pension trusts (which otherwise are subject to look-through treatment to their beneficiaries for purposes of this test) is treated as being held by the trusts rather than by their respective beneficiaries, each of these tax-exempt pension trusts owning more than 10% by value of our stock may be required to treat a percentage of our dividends as UBTI. This rule applies if:

 

·             at least one of these tax-exempt pension trust owns more than 25% by value of our shares; or

 

·              one or more of these tax-exempt pension trusts (each owning more than 10% by value of our shares) hold in the aggregate more than 50% by value of our shares.

 

The percentage treated as UBTI is our gross income (less direct expenses) derived from an unrelated trade or business (determined as if we are a tax-exempt pension trust) divided by our gross income from all sources (less direct expenses). If this percentage is less than 5%, however, none of the dividends is treated as UBTI. Because of the restrictions in our charter regarding the ownership concentration of our common stock, we believe that a tax-exempt pension trust is not likely to become

 

193

subject to these rules. However, because shares of our common stock may become publicly traded, we can give no assurance of this result.

 

Prospective tax-exempt purchasers are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors as to the applicability of these rules and consequences to their particular circumstances.

 

Taxation of Foreign Stockholders. The following discussion is intended only as a summary of the rules governing federal income taxation of non-resident alien individuals, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships, and foreign trusts and estates. These rules are complex and prospective foreign stockholders are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors to determine the impact of federal, state, and local income tax laws including any reporting requirements with respect to their investment in our common stock.

 

In general, foreign stockholders will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax (subject to any applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of non-resident alien individuals) with respect to their investment in our common stock if this investment is “effectively connected” with the conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. (and generally, if a tax treaty applies, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment maintained by the foreign stockholder). A corporate foreign stockholder that receives (or is deemed to have received) income that is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business also may be subject to the 30% “branch profits tax” under Section 884 of the Code (unless entitled to tax treaty exemptions), which is payable in addition to regular federal corporate income tax. A foreign stockholder claims exemption from withholding resulting from “effectively connected” treatment by filing with us federal Form W8-ECI referred to as a “Certificate of Foreign Person’s Claim for Exemption From Withholding in Income Effectively Connected With the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States.” The following discussion applies to foreign stockholders whose investment is not considered “effectively connected.”

 

Any dividend that constitutes ordinary income for federal income tax purposes generally will be subject to a U.S. tax equal to the lesser of 30% of the gross amount of dividends or the rate in an applicable tax treaty (including treaty benefits relating to a permanent establishment of a foreign stockholder). A foreign stockholder claims benefits under a tax treaty by filing with us federal Form W8-BEN referred to as a “Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding.”  A distribution that does not exceed our earnings and profits generally will be treated as a dividend taxable as ordinary income. A distribution in excess of our earnings and profits is treated first as a nontaxable return of capital that will reduce a foreign stockholder’s tax basis in the foreign stockholder’s common stock (but not below zero) and then as gain from the disposition of the common stock, subject to the rules discussed below for dispositions.

 

Our distributions that are attributable to gain from the sale or exchange of a “U.S. real property interest” are taxed to a foreign stockholder as if the distributions are gains “effectively connected” with a United States trade or business conducted by the foreign stockholder. As a result, a foreign stockholder will be taxed on these amounts at the capital gain rates applicable to a U.S. stockholder (subject to any applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals). In addition, these dividends also may be subject to a 30% branch profits tax when made to a corporate foreign stockholder that is not entitled to tax treaty exemptions.

 

We will report to our foreign stockholders and the IRS the amount of dividends paid during each calendar year and the amount (if any) of federal income tax that we withhold. These information reporting requirements apply regardless of whether withholding is reduced or eliminated in any applicable tax treaty. Copies of these information returns also may be made available under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement with the tax authorities in the country in which the foreign stockholder resides. As

 

194


 

Table of Contents

 

discussed below, withholding tax rates of 30% and 35% may apply to distributions on common stock to foreign stockholders. See “— REIT Qualification — Taxable Mortgage Pools” above for special rules relating to withholding for foreign stockholders if we are treated as investing in a taxable mortgage pool.

 

Although tax treaties may reduce our withholding obligations, we generally will be required to withhold:

 

·              35% of any distribution that could be designated as a capital gain dividend (regardless of the amount actually designated as a capital gain dividend) from dividends to a foreign stockholder (excluding a foreign stockholder who owns not more than 5% of our stock at any time during the one-year period ending on the distribution date if the dividend occurs at a time during which our stock is regularly traded on an established securities market located in the United States) and remit to the IRS; and

 

·              30% of any other dividends paid out of earnings and profits (including capital gain dividends not subject to 35% withholding described immediately above) to all foreign stockholders.

 

In addition, if we redesignate prior dividends of ordinary income as capital gain dividends, subsequent dividends, up to the amount of these prior dividends, will be treated as capital gain dividends for withholding purposes. The amount of federal income tax withheld is creditable against the foreign stockholder’s federal income tax liability, and if the amount of tax we withhold exceeds the foreign stockholder’s U.S. tax liability, the foreign stockholder may file for a refund of such excess from the IRS. The 35% withholding tax rate on certain capital gain dividends currently corresponds to the maximum income tax rate applicable to corporations, but this rate is higher than the 15% maximum federal tax rate on long-term capital gains of non-corporate taxpayers.

 

Applicable Treasury Regulations provide certain presumptions under which a foreign stockholder is subject to backup withholding and information reporting unless we receive certification from these stockholders of their foreign status. The regulations generally require a foreign stockholder to certify foreign status by filing with us federal Form W-8BEN, referred to as a “Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding,” Form W-8ECI, referred to as a “Certificate of Foreign Person’s Claim for Exemption From Withholding on Income Effectively Connected With the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States,” or Form W-8EXP, referred to as a “Certificate of Foreign Government or Other Foreign Organization for United States Tax Withholding.”

 

Unless the shares of common stock constitute a “U.S. real property interest” under Section 897 of the Code, gain on a sale of common stock by a foreign stockholder generally will not be subject to U.S. income taxation unless (1) investment in the common stock is effectively connected with the foreign stockholder’s U.S. trade or business (and, generally if a tax treaty applies, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment maintained by the foreign stockholder), in which case, as discussed above, the foreign stockholder would be subject to regular federal income tax, or (2) the foreign stockholder is a nonresident alien individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year, in which case the nonresident alien individual may be subject to a 30% tax on such gain.

 

Shares of our common stock will not constitute a “U.S. real property interest” if we are a “domestically controlled qualified investment entity.” A REIT qualifies as a domestically controlled qualified investment entity if the REIT, at all times during the shorter of (1) the period during which the REIT is in existence or (2) the five-year period ending on the disposition or distribution date, had less than 50% in value of the REIT’s stock held directly or indirectly by foreign stockholders. We expect to be a domestically controlled qualified investment entity, and, therefore, the sale of our shares should not be

 

195


 

Table of Contents

 

subject to taxation as a U.S. real property interest for foreign stockholders, except as discussed in the next sentence. Even if we constitute a domestically controlled qualified investment entity, upon disposition of our common stock (subject to the exception applicable to “regularly traded” stock described below), a foreign stockholder may be treated as having gain from the sale or exchange of a U.S. real property interest if the foreign stockholder (A) disposes of our common stock within a 30-day period preceding the ex-dividend date of a distribution, any portion of which, but for the disposition, would have been treated as gain from the sale or exchange of a U.S. real property interest and (B) acquires, or enters into a contract or option to acquire, other shares of our common stock within 30 days after such ex-dividend date. Because shares of our common stock may become (but are not guaranteed to become) publicly traded, we cannot assure you that we will be a domestically controlled qualified investment entity during the testing period that may be applicable to you when you sell our common stock. Even if we are not a domestically controlled qualified investment entity, a foreign stockholder’s gain on the sale of stock generally is not subject to federal income tax as a sale of a U.S. real property interest if the common stock is “regularly traded” on an established securities market and the foreign stockholder does not own more than 5% of our common stock at any time during the five-year period ending on the date of the sale. If the gain on the sale of common stock is not eligible for exemption from federal income tax under these rules, the foreign stockholder would be subject to the same treatment as a U.S. stockholder with respect to the gain (subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals). In any event, a purchaser of common stock from a foreign stockholder will not be required to withhold on the purchase price if the purchased shares are “regularly traded” on an established securities market or if we are a domestically controlled qualified investment entity. Otherwise, the purchaser of stock may be required to withhold 10% of the purchase price and remit this amount to the IRS.

 

If we make a payment to a foreign stockholder or a foreign stockholder receives the proceeds of a disposition of common stock which are paid within the U.S. or contracted through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries, the payment generally is subject to information reporting and to backup withholding (the current rate of which is 28%) unless the disposing foreign stockholder certifies as to the foreign stockholder’s name, address and non-U.S. status (and the payee or the intermediary, as the case may be, does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the stockholder is a United States person, as defined in the Code) or otherwise establishes an exemption. Generally, U.S. information reporting and backup withholding may not apply to a payment of disposition proceeds if the payment is made outside the U.S. through a foreign office of a foreign broker-dealer. Prospective foreign purchasers are encouraged to consult their tax advisers concerning these rules.

 

Information Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding for U.S. Stockholders

 

In general, information reporting requirements will apply to payments of distributions on our common stock and to payments of the proceeds of the sale of our common stock to a U.S. stockholder, unless an exception applies.  Under some circumstances, a U.S. stockholder may be subject to backup withholding at a rate of 28% on payments made with respect to, or cash proceeds of a sale or exchange of, our shares.  If you are a U.S. stockholder, backup withholding will apply only if:

 

·              you fail to furnish properly your correct taxpayer identification number, which, if you are an individual, is your Social Security Number;

 

·              you fail to certify, under penalties of perjury, your taxpayer identification number when required;

 

·              the IRS notifies us (or another applicable requester) that you furnished an incorrect taxpayer identification number;

 

196


 

Table of Contents

 

·              the IRS notifies you that you are subject to backup withholding because you failed properly to report payments of interest and distributions or are otherwise subject to backup withholding; or

 

·             under certain required circumstances, you fail to certify, under penalties of perjury, that you are not subject to backup withholding.

 

In addition, backup withholding will not apply with respect to payments made to certain types of stockholders, such as corporations and tax-exempt organizations.  Backup withholding is not an additional tax.  Rather, the amount of any backup withholding with respect to a payment to a U.S. stockholder will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the U.S. stockholder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.  U.S. stockholders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding their qualifications for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining an exemption.

 

Additional Withholding and Reporting Requirements Relating to Foreign Accounts

 

Recently enacted amendments to the Code generally impose a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on certain types of payments made to a foreign financial institution or a non-financial foreign entity after December 31, 2012, including distributions made with respect to our capital stock and gross proceeds from the sale or exchange of shares of our capital stock.  The IRS released a notice, however, delaying implementation of these rules with respect to payments such as distributions made with respect to our capital stock until January 1, 2014, and with respect to payments such as gross proceeds from sales or exchanges of our capital stock until January 1, 2015.  After the applicable effective date with respect to a payment, the 30% withholding tax will apply (i) to a foreign financial institution unless the foreign financial institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to undertake to obtain and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding certain direct and indirect U.S. accountholders and to collect the withholding tax on payments to certain accountholders (generally where the actions of the accountholders prevent compliance with reporting and other requirements), and the foreign financial institution meets certain other specified requirements or (ii) to a non-financial foreign entity unless the non-financial foreign entity certifies that it does not have any direct or indirect substantial U.S. owners or provides the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each direct and indirect substantial U.S. owner, and the non-financial foreign entity meets certain other specified requirements. Under certain circumstances, a foreign stockholder might be eligible for refunds or credits of any withholding taxes. Foreign stockholders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of these new provisions of the Code on their investment in our capital stock.

 

Tax Basis and Other Information Reporting

 

Brokers are subject to information reporting requirements relating to certain transactions involving shares of our common stock acquired on or after January 1, 2011 by a stockholder other than an exempt recipient (“covered stock”).  Specifically, upon the transfer or redemption of shares of covered stock, the broker must report certain information to the stockholder and the IRS, including the adjusted tax basis of the shares and whether any gain or loss recognized on the transfer or redemption is long-term or short-term.  Unless the stockholder informs a broker otherwise, shares to be transferred or redeemed will be chosen using the broker’s default method.  You are encouraged to consult your tax adviser about what method is best in your particular circumstances.

 

If we take an organizational action such as a stock split, merger, or acquisition that affects the tax basis of shares of covered stock, we will report to each stockholder and the IRS (or post on our primary website) a description of the action and the quantitative effect of that action on the tax basis of the

 

197


 

Table of Contents

 

applicable shares.  Although corporations generally qualify as exempt recipients, an S corporation will not qualify as an exempt recipient with respect to shares of our common stock that the S corporation acquires on or after January 1, 2012.  Thus, the transfer or redemption of shares of our common stock acquired by an S corporation on or after January 1, 2012 will be subject to the reporting requirements discussed above.

 

Brokers may be subject to the transfer statement reporting on certain transactions not otherwise subject to the reporting requirements discussed above (excluding transactions involving shares acquired before January 1, 2011).  Transfer statements, however, are issued only between “brokers” and are not issued to stockholders or the IRS.

 

Stockholders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the information reporting rules discussed above to their investment in our common stock.

 

Statement of Stock Ownership

 

We are required to demand annual written statements from the record holders of designated percentages of our shares disclosing the actual owners of the shares.  Any record stockholder who, upon our request, does not provide us with required information concerning actual ownership of the stockholder’s shares is required to include specified information relating to the stockholder’s shares in the stockholder’s federal income tax return.  We also must maintain, within the Internal Revenue District in which we are required to file our federal income tax return, permanent records showing the information we have received about the actual ownership of shares and a list of those persons failing or refusing to comply with our demand.

 

Other Tax Considerations

 

Distribution Reinvestment Plan. If you participate in the distribution reinvestment plan, you will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received, on the investment date, a dividend equal to the sum of (a) the fair market value of any common stock purchased under the plan (including common stock purchased through reinvestment of dividends), and (b) any cash distributions actually received by you with respect to your shares of common stock not included in the plan. The tax basis of shares of common stock purchased under the plan will be equal to the fair market value of the shares on the investment date. Your holding period for common stock purchased under the plan generally will begin on the date following the date on which the shares of common stock are purchased for you and registered in your name. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will not be taxable to you to the extent that the distributions do not exceed the adjusted tax basis of your shares. You will be required, however, to reduce the adjusted tax basis of your shares by the amount in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits. To the extent that the distributions exceed the adjusted tax basis of your shares, this excess amount will be taxable as capital gain.  See “— Federal Income Taxation of Stockholders” above for a discussion of the treatment of distributions to stockholders.

 

Backup withholding amounts, if required, will be withheld from dividends before any dividends are reinvested under the distribution reinvestment plan. Therefore, if you are subject to backup withholding, dividends to be reinvested under the plan will be reduced by the backup withholding amount. In the case of a sale, the withheld amount will be deducted from the sale proceeds and the remaining amount will be sent to you. See “— Information Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding for U.S. Stockholders” above for a discussion of the information reporting and backup withholding rules applicable to U.S. stockholders.

If you are a foreign stockholder, you generally are exempt from backup withholding but may be subject to federal income tax withholding, subject to required income tax certifications to establish your status as a foreign stockholder and your entitlement to claim the benefit of exemptions from federal income tax withholding or reduced withholding rates under a tax treaty. If you are a foreign stockholder participating in the distribution reinvestment plan whose dividends are subject to federal income tax withholding, the appropriate amount will be withheld and the balance in shares of common stock will be purchased for you and registered in your name.  See “— Federal Income Taxation of Stockholders — Taxation of Foreign Stockholders” above for a discussion of the income tax treatment of foreign stockholders.

 

You may recognize a gain or loss upon your sale or disposition of common stock received from the plan. The amount of gain or loss will be the difference between the amount received for the whole or fractional shares of common stock and the tax basis of the whole or fractional shares of common stock. Generally, any gain or loss recognized on the disposition of common stock acquired under the plan will be treated for federal income tax purposes as a capital gain or loss. See “— Federal Income Taxation of Stockholders” above for a discussion of the income tax treatment of stockholders.

 

State, Local and Foreign Taxes. We and you may be subject to state, local or foreign taxation in various jurisdictions, including those in which we transact business or reside. Our and your state, foreign and local tax treatment may not conform to the federal income tax consequences discussed above. To the extent that we or our subsidiaries own assets, directly or indirectly, or conduct operations in foreign jurisdictions, we will be subject to foreign tax systems.  Our favorable tax treatment in the United States as a REIT may not be recognized by foreign jurisdictions where we are treated as a foreign corporation subject to a variety of taxes, such as income, corporate, trade, local and capital taxes, and distributions from these operations may be subject to withholding both as to dividends and interest paid by or to us.  Although we seek to reduce the foreign taxes payable on foreign operations, it is unlikely that we will be able to mitigate totally these taxes, which could be significant.  To the extent of these foreign taxes, we will receive reduced amounts from foreign operations and will have less cash available for distribution to our stockholders.  Further, the foreign taxes cannot be passed through to our stockholders as a foreign tax credit and we generally cannot make effective use of foreign tax credits.  As a result, we expect that neither we nor our stockholders will be able to reduce U.S. tax liability on account of our payment of foreign taxes.  Accordingly, any foreign taxes impact our operations as an additional cost.

 

You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisor regarding the effect of state and local tax laws on an investment in shares of our common stock.

 

Legislative Proposals. You should recognize that our and your present federal income tax treatment may be modified by legislative, judicial or administrative actions at any time, which may be retroactive in effect. The rules dealing with federal income taxation are constantly under review by Congress, the IRS and the Treasury Department, and statutory changes as well as promulgation of new regulations, revisions to existing statutes, and revised interpretations of established concepts occur frequently. We are not currently aware of any pending legislation that would affect our or your taxation materially as described in this prospectus. You should, however, consult your advisors concerning the status of legislative proposals that may pertain to a purchase of common stock.

 

Sunset of Reduced Tax Rate Provisions

 

Several of the tax considerations described in this prospectus are subject to a sunset provision. On December 17, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, preventing an expiration of current federal income tax rates on December 31, 2010 by amending the sunset provisions such that they will take effect on

The amended sunset provisions generally provide that for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, certain provisions that are currently in the Code will revert back to a prior version of those provisions. These provisions include, without limitation, provisions related to the reduced maximum income tax rate for long-term capital gains of 15% (rather than 20%) for non-corporate taxpayers, reduced individual income tax rates on ordinary income, the application of long-term capital gain tax rates (rather than ordinary income tax rates) to qualified dividend income, and certain other tax rate provisions described herein. The impact of the amended sunset provisions is not discussed in this prospectus. Consequently, stockholders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of the sunset provisions based on their individual tax situations.

ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

 

The following is a summary of the considerations arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, which we refer to herein as “ERISA,” including the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and of Section 4975 of the Code that are likely to be material to a holder of our common stock that is an employee benefit plan, IRA or other tax-exempt entity under the Code. This discussion does not deal with all aspects of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or, to the extent not preempted, state law that may be relevant to particular employee benefit plan stockholders (including plans subject to Title I of ERISA, other employee benefit plans and IRAs subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, and governmental plans and church plans that are exempt from ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code but that may be subject to state law and other Code requirements) in light of their particular circumstances.

 

A FIDUCIARY MAKING THE DECISION TO INVEST IN SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK ON BEHALF OF A PENSION, PROFIT-SHARING, RETIREMENT, IRA OR OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN IS ADVISED TO CONSULT THE FIDUCIARY’S OWN LEGAL ADVISOR REGARDING THE SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS ARISING UNDER ERISA, SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE, AND (TO THE EXTENT NOT PREEMPTED) STATE LAW WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, OR SALE OF SHARES BY THE BENEFIT PLAN. BENEFIT PLANS ALSO SHOULD CONSIDER THE ENTIRE DISCUSSION UNDER THE PRECEDING SECTION ENTITLED “FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS,” AS MATERIAL CONTAINED THEREIN IS RELEVANT TO ANY DECISION BY A BENEFIT PLAN TO PURCHASE THE SHARES.

 

In considering whether to invest a portion of the assets of a benefit plan in shares of our common stock, fiduciaries of the benefit plan should consider, among other things, whether the investment:

 

·               will be in accordance with the governing documents of the benefit plan and is authorized and consistent with their fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA;

 

·              will allow the benefit plan to satisfy the diversification requirements of ERISA, if applicable;

 

·              will result in UBTI to the benefit plan (see “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences — Federal Income Taxation of Stockholders — Taxation of Tax-Exempt Stockholders”);

 

·              will be sufficiently liquid for the benefit plan after taking this investment into account; and

 

·              is prudent and in the best interests of the benefit plan, its participants and beneficiaries under ERISA standards.

 

The fiduciary of an IRA or a benefit plan not subject to Title I of ERISA because it is a governmental or church plan or because it does not cover common law employees should consider that such an IRA or non-ERISA plan may be subject to prohibitions against certain related-party transactions under Section 503 of the Code, which operate similar to the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA and the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of any governmental or church plan must consider applicable state or local laws, if any, and the restrictions and duties of common law, if any, imposed upon such plan. We express no opinion on whether an investment in shares is appropriate or permissible for any governmental or church plan under Section 503 of the Code, or under any state, county, local, or other law respecting such plan.

Fiduciary Obligations—Prohibited Transactions

 

Any person identified as a “fiduciary” with respect to a plan incurs duties and obligations under ERISA as discussed herein. For purposes of ERISA, any person who exercises any authority or control with respect to the management or disposition of the assets of a plan is considered to be a fiduciary of the plan. Further, many transactions between plans or IRAs and “parties-in-interest” or “disqualified persons” are prohibited by ERISA or the Code. ERISA also requires generally that the assets of plans be held in trust and that the trustee, or a duly authorized investment manager, have exclusive authority and discretion to manage and control the assets of the plan.

 

In the event that our properties and other assets are deemed to be assets of a plan, referred to herein as “plan assets,” our directors and our Business Manager would, and other employees of affiliates of IREIC might, be deemed fiduciaries of any plans investing as stockholders. If this were to occur, certain contemplated transactions between us, our directors and Business Manager, and other employees of affiliates of IREIC could be deemed to be “prohibited transactions.” Additionally, ERISA’s fiduciary standards applicable to investments by plans would extend to our directors and Business Manager, and possibly to other employees of affiliates of IREIC as plan fiduciaries with respect to investments made by us, and the requirement that plan assets be held in trust could be deemed to be violated.

 

Plan Assets—Definition

 

A definition of plan assets is not set forth in ERISA or the Code; however, a Department of Labor regulation, referred to herein as the “Plan Asset Regulation,” provides guidelines as to whether, and under what circumstances, the underlying assets of an entity will be deemed to constitute plan assets. Under the Plan Asset Regulation, the assets of an entity in which a plan makes an equity investment generally will be deemed to be assets of the plan unless the entity satisfies one of the exceptions to this general rule. Generally, an exception applies only if the investment in the entity qualifies as an investment in one of the following:

 

·               securities issued by an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act;

 

·              “publicly offered securities,” defined generally as interests that are “freely transferable,” “widely held” and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

 

·               an entity in which equity participation by “benefit plan investors” is not significant; or

 

·               an “operating company,” which includes “venture capital operating companies” and “real estate operating companies.”

 

The Plan Asset Regulation provides that equity participation in an entity by benefit plan investors is “significant” if at any time 25% or more of the value of any class of equity interest is held by benefit plan investors. The term “benefit plan investors” is broadly defined for this purpose, and includes all plans subject to ERISA, as well as non-ERISA plans such as IRAs, Keogh plans, governmental plans and church plans. We anticipate that we will qualify for this exception because we do not expect to have equity participation by “benefit plan investors” exceeding 25%, which would be significant under the rule described above. However, if we are deemed to have significant participation by benefit plan investors, we believe that we would qualify for one or more of the exemptions discussed below.

Publicly Offered Securities Exemption

 

As noted above, if a plan acquires “publicly offered securities,” the assets of the issuer of the securities will not be deemed to be “plan assets” under the Plan Asset Regulation. The definition of publicly offered securities requires that the securities be “widely held,” “freely transferable” and satisfy registration requirements under federal securities laws. Although our shares are intended to satisfy the registration requirements under this definition, the determinations of whether a security is “widely held” and “freely transferable” are inherently factual matters.

 

Under the Plan Asset Regulation, a security will meet the requirement to satisfy registration requirements under federal securities laws if the security is (i) part of a class of securities registered under section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, or (ii) part of an offering of securities to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and the class of securities of which the security is a part is registered under the Exchange Act within 120 days (or such later time as may be allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission) after the end of the fiscal year of the issuer during which the offering of the securities to the public occurred. We anticipate that we will meet the registration requirements to qualify shares of our common stock as publicly offered securities under the Plan Asset Regulation.

 

Under the Plan Asset Regulation, a class of securities will be “widely held” if it is held by 100 or more persons independent of the issuer. We anticipate that this requirement will be met; however, even if our shares are deemed to be widely held, the “freely transferable” requirement also must also be satisfied in order for us to qualify for this exemption. The Plan Asset Regulation provides that “whether a security is ‘freely transferable’ is a factual question to be determined on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances,” and provides several examples of restrictions on transferability that, absent unusual circumstances, will not prevent the rights of ownership in question from being considered “freely transferable” if the minimum investment is $10,000 or less. The allowed restrictions in the examples are illustrative of restrictions commonly found in REITs that are imposed to comply with state and federal law, to assure continued eligibility for favorable tax treatment and to avoid certain practical administrative problems. We have been structured with the intent to satisfy the “freely transferable” requirement set forth in the Plan Asset Regulation with respect to our shares of common stock, although there are no assurances that the requirement is met by our shares of common stock.

 

Our shares of common stock are subject to certain restrictions on transferability intended to ensure that we continue to qualify for federal income tax treatment as a REIT. As noted above, the Plan Asset Regulation provides, however, that where the minimum investment in a public offering of securities is $10,000 or less, the presence of a restriction on transferability intended to prohibit transfers that would result in a termination or reclassification of the entity for state or federal tax purposes ordinarily will not affect a determination that the securities are “freely transferable.” The minimum investment in our shares is less than $10,000; thus, the restrictions imposed in order to maintain our status as a REIT should not cause the shares to be deemed not “freely transferable.”

 

We believe that it is more likely than not that our shares will be deemed to constitute “publicly offered securities” and, accordingly, it is more likely than not that our underlying assets should not be considered “plan assets” under the Plan Assets Regulation, assuming the offering takes place as described in this prospectus. If our underlying assets are not deemed to be “plan assets,” the consequences of our assets being treated as plan assets discussed below will not apply.

Real Estate Operating Company Exemption

 

Even if we were deemed not to qualify for the “publicly offered securities” exemption, the Plan Asset Regulation also provides an exemption with respect to securities issued by a “real estate operating company.”  For purposes of the Plan Asset Regulation, we will be a “real estate operating company” if, during the relevant valuation periods defined in the Plan Asset Regulation, at least 50% of our assets, other than short-term investments pending long-term commitment or distribution to investors valued at cost, are invested in real estate that is managed or developed and with respect to which we have the right to participate substantially in the management or development activities. We anticipate that more than 50% of our assets will be invested in real estate.  These properties generally will not be the subject of development activities.  Thus, we will be a “real estate operating company” only if our real estate is managed and we have the right to participate substantially in the management.

 

An example in the Plan Asset Regulation indicates, however, that although some management and development activities may be performed by independent contractors, rather than by the entity itself, if over one-half of an entity’s properties are acquired subject to long-term leases under which substantially all management and maintenance activities with respect to the properties are the responsibility of the tenants, then the entity may not be eligible for the “real estate operating company” exemption. Based on this example, and due to the uncertainty of the application of the standards set forth in the Plan Asset Regulation and the lack of further guidance as to the meaning of the term “real estate operating company,” there can be no assurance as to our ability to structure our operations to qualify for the “real estate operating company” exemption.

 

Consequences of Holding Plan Assets

 

In the event that our underlying assets are treated by the Department of Labor as plan assets, our management would be treated as fiduciaries with respect to each plan stockholder, and an investment in our shares of common stock might expose the fiduciaries of the plan to co-fiduciary liability under ERISA for any breach by our directors or Business Manager (and possibly other employees of affiliates of IREIC) of the fiduciary duties mandated under ERISA. Further, if our assets are deemed to be plan assets, an investment by a plan in our shares of common stock might be deemed to result in an impermissible commingling of plan assets with other property.

 

If our Business Manager or other affiliates are treated as fiduciaries with respect to plan stockholders, the prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA would apply to any transaction involving our assets. These restrictions could, for example, require that we avoid transactions with entities that are affiliated with affiliates of IREIC or us or restructure our activities in order to obtain an administrative exemption from the prohibited transaction restrictions. Alternatively, we might be required to provide plan and IRA stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to us or we might dissolve or terminate.

 

Prohibited Transactions

 

Generally, both ERISA and the Code prohibit plans and IRAs from engaging in certain transactions involving plan assets with specified parties, such as sales or exchanges or leasing of property, loans or other extensions of credit, furnishing goods or services, or transfers to, or use of, plan assets. The specified parties are referred to as “parties-in-interest” under ERISA and as “disqualified persons” under the Code. These definitions generally include both parties owning threshold percentage interests in an investment entity and “persons providing services” to the plan or IRA, as well as employer sponsors of the plan or IRA, fiduciaries and other individuals or entities affiliated with the foregoing. For this purpose, a person generally is a fiduciary with respect to a plan or IRA if, among other things, the person

 

204


 

Table of Contents

 

has discretionary authority or control with respect to plan assets or provides investment advice for a fee with respect to plan assets. Under Department of Labor regulations, a person will be deemed to be providing investment advice if that person renders advice as to the advisability of investing in our shares of common stock, and that person regularly provides investment advice to the plan or IRA pursuant to a mutual agreement or understanding that the advice will serve as the primary basis for investment decisions, and that the advice will be individualized for the plan or IRA based on its particular needs. Thus, if we are deemed to hold plan assets, our Business Manager and its affiliates could be characterized as fiduciaries with respect to our assets, and each would be deemed to be a party-in-interest under ERISA and a disqualified person under the Code with respect to plans and IRAs that invest in our shares of common stock. If we or affiliates of IREIC are affiliated with a plan or IRA investor, whether or not we are deemed to hold plan assets, we might be a disqualified person or party-in-interest with respect to the plan or IRA investor, resulting in a prohibited transaction merely upon investment by the plan or IRA in our shares of common stock.

 

Prohibited Transactions — Consequences

 

Under ERISA, plans may not engage in prohibited transactions. Fiduciaries of a plan that allow a prohibited transaction to occur will breach their fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA, and may be liable for any damage sustained by the plan, as well as civil (and criminal, if the violation is willful) penalties. If the Department of Labor or the IRS determines that a prohibited transaction has occurred, any disqualified person or party-in-interest involved with the prohibited transaction would be required to reverse or unwind the transaction and, with respect to a plan, compensate the plan for any loss resulting therefrom. Additionally, the Code requires a disqualified person involved with a prohibited transaction to pay an excise tax equal to a percentage of the “amount involved” in the transaction for each year in which the transaction remains uncorrected. The percentage is generally 15%, but is increased to 100% if the prohibited transaction is not corrected promptly. If an IRA engages in a prohibited transaction, the tax-exempt status of the IRA may be lost.

 

Annual Valuation Requirement

 

Fiduciaries of plans are required to determine the fair market value of the assets of the plans on at least an annual basis.  If the fair market value of any particular asset is not readily available, the fiduciary is required to make a good faith determination of that asset’s value.  Also, a trustee or custodian of an IRA must provide an IRA participant and the IRS with a statement of the value of the IRA each year.  However, currently, neither the IRS nor the Department of Labor has promulgated regulations specifying how “fair market value” should be determined.

 

Unless and until our shares of common stock are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, it is not expected that a public market for our shares will develop.  To assist fiduciaries of plans subject to the annual reporting requirements of ERISA and IRA trustees or custodians to prepare reports relating to an investment in our shares of common stock, we intend to provide reports of our annual estimates of the current value of a share of our common stock to those fiduciaries (including IRA trustees and custodians) who identify themselves to us and request the reports.  We do not expect to announce a per share estimated value of our common stock that is not based on the gross per share offering price until the filing of our second regular quarterly or, if applicable, annual report (e.g., our reports on Form 10-Q or 10-K) following the termination of this initial “best efforts” public offering of our common stock.  Until that time, we expect to report the gross offering price of a share of the common stock in this “best efforts” offering as the per share estimated value thereof; provided, however, that if we have sold properties or other assets and have made one or more special distributions to stockholders of all or a portion of the net proceeds from the sales, the estimated value of a share of our common stock will be

 

205


 

Table of Contents

 

equal to the offering price of shares in this “best efforts” offering less the amount of net sale proceeds per share that constitute a return of capital distributed to investors as a result of the sales.

 

To determine the per share estimated value of our shares, we will engage an independent valuation expert to value our real estate assets and related liabilities.  Our board of directors will periodically receive and review information about the valuation of our assets and liabilities as it deems necessary.  The conclusions reached by our independent valuation expert will be based on a number of judgments, assumptions and opinions about future events that may or may not prove to be correct, as well as a number of caveats and conditions.  Further, neither the gross offering price nor any future estimated value is likely to reflect the proceeds you would receive upon our liquidation or upon the sale of your shares.

 

We anticipate that we will provide annual reports of our per share estimated value (1) to IRA trustees and custodians not later than January 15 of each year, and (2) to other plan fiduciaries within seventy-five days after the end of each calendar year.  Each per share estimated value may be based upon valuation information available as of October 31 of the preceding year, updated, however, for any material changes occurring between October 31 and December 31.  We also intend to make our per share estimated value available to our stockholders through our website.

 

There can be no assurance, however, with respect to any per share estimated value that we announce, that:

 

·              the estimated value per share of common stock would actually be realized by our stockholders upon liquidation, because these estimates do not necessarily indicate the price at which properties and other assets can be sold;

 

·              our stockholders would be able to realize estimated share values if they attempted to sell their shares of common stock, because no public market for our shares exists or is likely to develop; or

 

·              that the value, or method used to establish value, would comply with ERISA or Code requirements described above.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

General

 

Of the 180,000,000 shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus, we are offering:

 

·              up to 150,000,000 shares to the public at a purchase price of $10.00 per share through Inland Securities Corporation, the dealer manager, on a “best efforts” basis. Our dealer manager is an affiliate of IREIC, our sponsor. A “best efforts” basis means that the securities dealers participating in the offering are only required to use their good faith efforts and reasonable diligence to sell the shares, and have no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of the shares. Therefore, no specified number of shares is guaranteed to be sold and no specified amount of money is guaranteed to be raised from this offering; and

 

·              up to 30,000,000 shares at a purchase price of $9.50 per share for issuance through our distribution reinvestment plan.

 

We reserve the right to reallocate the shares offered between our “best efforts” offering and the distribution reinvestment plan.

 

The offering price of our common stock was determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion.  In determining the offering price, the board specifically considered the offering price of other REITs organized by IREIC, the range of offering prices of other REITs that do not have a public trading market and the recommendation of our dealer manager.  The offering price is not based on the book value or net asset value of our current or expected investments, or our current or expected cash flow. Until such time as our shares are valued by our Business Manager, the price of our shares is not intended to reflect the net asset value of our shares.  See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to This Offering” for additional disclosure regarding a “best efforts” offering and the offering price of our shares.  The offering will commence as of the effective date of this prospectus.  If the minimum offering of 200,000 shares is not sold by October 18, 2013, we will terminate this offering and your subscription will be returned to you within ten business days after termination, together with any interest earned on your investment.  Common stock purchased by any of our officers, directors or affiliates, or by our dealer manager or any soliciting dealer, will count toward satisfying the minimum offering.  If the minimum offering of 200,000 shares of common stock is sold and if this offering continues thereafter, the offering will terminate on or before, October 18, 2014 unless extended.  Our board may terminate this offering at any time and may extend the “best efforts” offering for an additional year.  If we extend the offering for another year and file another registration statement during the one-year extension in order to sell additional shares, we could continue to sell shares in this offering until the earlier of 180 days after the third anniversary of commencing this offering or the effective date of the subsequent registration statement.  If we decide to extend the “best efforts” offering beyond two years from the date of this prospectus, we will provide that information in a prospectus supplement.  If we file a subsequent registration statement, we could continue offering shares with the same or different terms and conditions.  Nothing in our organizational documents prohibits us from engaging in additional subsequent public offerings of our stock.

 

Shares of our common stock may also be offered and sold in Canada in reliance on and in accordance with exemptions from the registration and prospectus requirements of Canadian provincial and territorial securities laws or pursuant to discretionary exemption orders obtained in advance from applicable provincial or territorial regulatory authorities.

Escrow Conditions

 

If you are qualified to participate in this offering, the proceeds from your subscription will be deposited in a segregated escrow account with the escrow agent, UMB Bank, N.A., 1010 Grand Boulevard, Kansas City, Missouri, and will be held in trust for your benefit, pending release to us. Your investment will not be commingled with any other funds.  None of the common stock offered by this prospectus will be sold, no commissions or fees will be paid, and your initial admission as a stockholder will not take place unless the escrow agent has received and accepted paid subscriptions for at least 200,000 shares of common stock for $10.00 within one year from the original effective date of this prospectus.  Subscriptions for shares from persons who are affiliated with us, our dealer manager, any soliciting dealer or our Business Manager may be used to satisfy the minimum offering.  If subscriptions for at least the minimum offering have not been received, accepted and paid for within one year from the original effective date of this prospectus, the escrow agent will promptly refund your investment, together with any interest earned on your investment.  If a refund is made, IREIC will pay any escrow fees.

 

Subscription proceeds received from residents of Ohio will be placed in escrow with the escrow agent until we have received and accepted paid subscriptions for at least $20 million within one year from the original effective date of this prospectus.  If subscriptions for at least $20 million have not been received, accepted and paid for within one year from the original effective date of this prospectus, the escrow agent will promptly refund the Ohio investors’ funds, together with any interest earned on that investment.  If a refund is made, IREIC will pay any escrow fees.

 

Similarly, subscription proceeds received from residents of Tennessee will be placed in escrow with the escrow agent until we have received and accepted paid subscriptions for at least $20 million within one year from the original effective date of this prospectus.  If subscriptions for at least $20 million have not been received, accepted and paid for within one year from the original effective date of this prospectus, the escrow agent will promptly refund the Tennessee investors’ funds, together with any interest earned on that investment.  If a refund is made, IREIC will pay any escrow fees.

 

Subscription proceeds received from residents of Pennsylvania will be placed in escrow with the escrow agent until we have received and accepted paid subscriptions for at least $75 million, or for an escrow period of 120 days, whichever is shorter.  If subscriptions for at least $75 million have not been received, accepted and paid for by the end of the escrow period, the escrow agent will either:

 

·              promptly refund the Pennsylvania investors’ funds within fifteen calendar days of the end of the escrow period; or

 

·              notify the Pennsylvania investors in writing by certified mail, or any other means whereby receipt of delivery is obtained within ten calendar days after the end of the escrow period, that the Pennsylvania investors have a right to have their investment returned to them.  If a Pennsylvania investor requests the return of these funds within ten calendar days after receipt of notification, the escrow agent will return the funds within fifteen calendar days after receiving the investors’ request.

 

Any Pennsylvania investor that requests a return of his or her funds at the end of the initial 120-day escrow period or any subsequent 120-day escrow period will be entitled to receive interest earned, if any for the time that his or her funds remained in escrow.

 

Funds in escrow will be invested in short-term investments, which may include obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by, the U.S. government or bank money-market accounts or certificates of deposit of national or state banks that have deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

 

208


 

Table of Contents

 

(including certificates of deposit of any bank acting as a depository or custodian for any such funds) that mature on or before the termination of the offering or that can be readily sold or otherwise disposed of for cash by such date without any dissipation of the offering proceeds.  Additionally, as soon as we have received subscription proceeds for at least 200,000 shares of our common stock, we may invest the proceeds in other short term investments which can be readily sold, with appropriate safety of principal.  After the minimum offering amount is sold, subscription proceeds are expected to be released to us as subscriptions are accepted.  We will accept or reject subscriptions within ten days after we receive a fully completed copy of the subscription agreement and payment for the shares.

 

All funds we receive out of the escrow account will be available for our general use.  We use these funds to: pay any costs related to this offering; make capital contributions or additional investments in real estate assets; pay expenses incurred to acquire real estate assets; reimburse IREIC and its affiliates for expenses it and they have paid; pay fees to our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers and their affiliates; and pay day-to-day operating expenses.  We do not segregate funds from our other funds pending investment.  We will return any of the proceeds of this offering that are not invested in real estate assets within the later of twenty-four months from the original effective date of the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, or twelve months from the termination of the offering.

 

Interest will accrue on funds in the escrow account as applicable to the short-term investments in which such funds are invested.  You will not receive interest on your subscription payment unless we fail to sell the minimum number of shares, in which case, we will return your subscription payment to you with accrued interest.   After your initial admission as a stockholder you will not be entitled to interest earned on our funds or to receive interest on your investment.

Compensation We Pay For the Sale of Our Shares

 

Except for the special sales or volume discounts described later in this section, we will pay the dealer manager selling commissions of 7% of the selling price of the shares of common stock sold on a “best efforts” basis. The dealer manager anticipates reallowing (paying) the full amount of the selling commissions to participating soliciting dealers as compensation for their services in soliciting and obtaining subscriptions. Except for the special sales or volume discounts described later in this section, we will pay an additional 3% of the gross proceeds from the offering of shares sold on a “best efforts” basis to the dealer manager for marketing the shares in connection with this offering, which includes coordinating the marketing of the shares with any participating soliciting dealers.  The dealer manager may, in its discretion, reallow (pay) up to 1.5% of this marketing contribution to participating soliciting dealers.  We also will reimburse the dealer manager and participating soliciting dealers for bona fide out-of-pocket, itemized and detailed due diligence expenses incurred by these entities, in an amount up to 0.5% of the gross offering proceeds from shares sold in the “best efforts” offering.  These expenses will be reimbursed from amounts paid or reallowed (paid) to these entities as a marketing contribution.  The following table shows the compensation payable to our dealer manager for sale of shares in the “best efforts” portion of this offering.

Table of Contents

 

 

Type of Compensation   Amount   Estimated
Maximum Amount
 
Selling Commissions   7% of the sale price for each share   $ 105,000,000  
Marketing Contribution   3% of the gross offering proceeds   $ 45,000,000  

 

In no event will the amount we pay to FINRA members, including selling commissions and the marketing contribution (which includes any due diligence expenses reimbursed from the marketing contribution), exceed FINRA’s 10% cap on underwriting compensation. All amounts deemed to be “underwriting compensation” by FINRA will be subject to FINRA’s 10% cap.  In connection with the minimum offering and FINRA’s 10% cap, our dealer manager will advance all the fixed expenses, including, but not limited to, wholesaling salaries, salaries of dual employees allocated to wholesaling activities, and other fixed expenses (including, but not limited to wholesaling expense reimbursements and the dealer manager’s legal costs associated with filing the offering with FINRA), that are required to be included within FINRA’s 10% cap to ensure that the aggregate underwriting compensation paid in connection with the offering does not exceed FINRA’s 10% cap. Also, our dealer manager will repay to the company any compensation over FINRA’s 10% cap if the offering is abruptly terminated after reaching the minimum amount, but before reaching the maximum amount, of offering proceeds.

 

We will not pay selling commissions or marketing contributions in connection with the following special sales:

 

·              the sale of common stock as compensation for services by IREIC or any of its directors, officers, employees or affiliates;

 

·              the purchase of common stock by each of Inland Securities or any of its or our directors, officers, employees or affiliates, or any family members of those individuals (including spouses, parents, grandparents, children and siblings), for $9.00 per share; and

 

·              the purchase of common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan.

 

Reallowable 7% selling commissions will not be paid in connection with the following special sales:

 

·              the purchase of common stock by each soliciting dealer and any of their respective directors, officers, employees or affiliates who request and are entitled to purchase common stock net of selling commissions for $9.30 per share;

 

·              the sale of common stock to investors whose contracts for investment advisory and related brokerage services include a fixed or “wrap” fee feature; and

 

·              the common stock credited to an investor as a result of a volume discount.

 

All purchases of common stock by our dealer manager or any soliciting dealer must be made in accordance with FINRA regulations, including without limitation Rule 5130. We expect that these purchases, if any, will be made for investment purposes only.

 

We may not pay or award any commissions or other compensation to any person engaged by you for investment advice as an inducement to advise you to purchase shares of our common stock. A registered broker dealer or other properly licensed person may, however, earn a sales commission in connection with a sale of the common stock.

 

212


 

Table of Contents

 

We will not pay any registered investment advisory fees in connection with any purchase by you of our common stock.

 

We or our affiliates also may provide permissible forms of non-cash compensation to registered representatives of our dealer manager and the participating soliciting dealers, such as golf shirts, fruit baskets, cakes, chocolates, a bottle of wine, or tickets to a sporting event. In no event will these items exceed an aggregate value of $100 per annum per participating salesperson, or be pre-conditioned on achieving a particular sales target. The value of these items will be considered underwriting compensation in connection with this offering.

 

Volume Discounts

 

We are offering volume discounts to single purchasers who purchase more than $500,000 worth of common stock through the same soliciting dealer, reducing the reallowable 7% selling commission payable in connection with the purchase of those shares.  Specifically, the per share purchase price will apply to the specific range of each share purchased in the total volume ranges in the schedule set forth below. Any reduction in the amount of the selling commissions will be credited to the investor in the form of additional shares, by reducing the purchase price per share payable by the investor, as follows:

 

Amount of Purchaser’s Investment   Purchase Price
per Share in
Volume
  Maximum
Reallowable
Commission
 
From   To   Discount Range   Per Share  
$ 0   $ 500,000   $ 10.00   7 %
$ 500,001   $ 1,000,000   $ 9.90   6 %
$ 1,000,001   $ 2,000,000   $ 9.80   5 %
$ 2,000,001   $ 3,000,000   $ 9.70   4 %
$ 3,000,001   $ 4,000,000   $ 9.60   3 %
$ 4,000,001   $ 5,000,000   $ 9.50   2 %
$ 5,000,001   and over   $ 9.40   1 %

 

As an example, a single purchaser who invests $1,250,000 in shares would receive 126,015 shares rather than 125,000 shares.  The discount would be calculated as follows: for the first $500,000 invested, the purchaser would acquire 50,000 shares at a cost of $10.00 per share (selling commissions of 7%); for the next $500,000 invested, the purchaser would acquire 50,505 shares at a cost of $9.90 per share (selling commissions of 6%); and for the last $250,000 invested, the purchaser would acquire 25,510 shares at a cost of $9.80 per share (selling commissions of 5%).

 

Some purchases may be combined for the purpose of qualifying for a volume discount and for determining commissions payable to the dealer manager or the soliciting dealers, so long as all the combined purchases are made through the same soliciting dealer. The following are the types of purchases that may be combined for these purposes.

 

·              Purchases by a “single purchaser” may be combined, so long as all the combined purchases are made through the same soliciting dealer. The amount of total commissions thus computed will be apportioned pro rata among the individual orders on the basis of the respective amounts of the orders being combined. As used herein, the term “single purchaser” will include:

 

·               any person or entity, or persons or entities, acquiring shares as joint purchasers;

 

213


 

Table of Contents

 

·              all profit-sharing, pension and other retirement trusts maintained by a given corporation, partnership or other entity;

 

·              all funds and foundations maintained by a given corporation, partnership or other entity;

 

·              all profit-sharing, pension and other retirement trusts and all funds or foundations over which a designated bank or other trustee, person or entity exercises discretionary authority with respect to an investment in our company; and

 

·              any person or entity, or persons or entities, acquiring shares that are clients of and are advised by a single investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

 

·              Purchases by individuals within a “primary household group” also will be combined with other purchases by you and will be combined with other purchases of common stock to be held as a joint tenant or as tenants-in-common by you with others for purposes of computing amounts invested. For these purposes, a “primary household group” includes you, your spouse or “domestic or life partner” and all of your unmarried children under the age of twenty-one. For primary household group purposes, “domestic or life partners” means any two unmarried same-sex or opposite-sex individuals who are unrelated by blood, maintain a shared primary residence or home address, and have joint property or other insurable interests.

 

·              Purchases by entities required to pay federal income tax that are combined with purchases by other entities not required to pay federal income tax for purposes of computing amounts invested if investment decisions are made by the same person may have tax consequences, and your tax advisor should be consulted prior to making the decision to combine. If the investment decisions are made by an independent investment adviser, that investment adviser may not have any direct or indirect beneficial interest in any of the entities not required to pay federal income tax whose purchases are sought to be combined.

 

·              Subscriptions made in this and any subsequent offering will be combined with other subscriptions in this and any subsequent offering for the purposes of computing amounts invested.

 

You must mark the “Additional Investment” space in Section A of the subscription agreement and provide a Letter of Instruction to identify the accounts to be combined, in order for purchases to be combined. We are not responsible for failing to combine purchases if you fail to mark the “Additional Investment” space or fail to provide a Letter of Instruction.

 

If the subscription agreements for the purchases to be combined are submitted at the same time, then the additional common stock to be credited to you as a result of such combined purchases will be credited on a pro rata basis, unless otherwise directed by you. If the subscription agreements for the purchases to be combined are not submitted at the same time, then any additional common stock to be credited as a result of the combined purchases will be credited to the last purchase made, unless we are otherwise directed in writing at the time of the submission. However, the additional common stock to be credited to any entities not required to pay federal income tax whose purchases are combined for purposes of the volume discount will be credited only on a pro rata basis based on the amount of the investment of each entity not required to pay federal income tax and their combined purchases.

Table of Contents

 

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs, you may not receive a volume discount greater than 5% on any purchase of shares if you already own, or may be deemed to already own, any shares. This restriction may limit the amount of the volume discount available to you after your initial purchase and the amount of additional shares that you may be credited as a result of combining purchases.

 

In the case of subsequent investments or combined investments, a volume discount will be given only on the portion of the subsequent or combined investment that caused the investment to qualify for a volume discount. For example, if you are investing $150,000 with us today, but had previously invested $400,000, these amounts can be combined to qualify for a volume discount by purchasing $100,000 at $10.00 per share and $50,000 at $9.90 per share.

 

California residents should be aware that volume discounts will not be available in connection with the sale of shares made to California residents to the extent such discounts do not comply with the provisions of Rule 260.140.51 adopted pursuant to the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968. Pursuant to this rule, volume discounts can be made available to California residents only in accordance with the following conditions:

 

·              there can be no variance in the net proceeds to us from the sale of the shares to different purchasers of the same offering;

 

·              all purchasers of the shares must be informed of the availability of quantity discounts;

 

·              the same volume discounts must be allowed to all purchasers of shares which are part of the offering;

 

·              the minimum amount of shares as to which volume discounts are allowed cannot be less than $10,000;

 

·               the variance in the price of the shares must result solely from a different range of commissions, and all discounts must be based on a uniform scale of commissions; and

 

·               no discounts are allowed to any group of purchasers.

 

Accordingly, volume discounts for California residents will be available in accordance with the foregoing table of uniform discount levels based on dollar volume of shares purchased, but no discounts are allowed to any group of purchasers, and no subscriptions may be aggregated as part of a combined order for purposes of determining the number of shares purchased.

 

Indemnification

 

We have agreed to indemnify the dealer manager and the participating soliciting dealers against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act if one or more of the following conditions are met:

 

·              there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee and a court of competent jurisdiction has approved indemnification of the litigation costs; or

 

·              the claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee and the court has approved indemnification of the litigation costs; or

 

215


 

Table of Contents

 

·              a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee and approves indemnification of the settlement and related costs after being advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the published opinions of any state securities regulatory authority in which our common stock was offered and sold respecting the availability or propriety of indemnification for securities law violations. The soliciting dealer will be required to indemnify us and our Business Manager against such liabilities.

 

In the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy and, therefore, unenforceable. The dealer manager and each of the participating soliciting dealers may be deemed to be an “underwriter” as that term is defined in the Securities Act.

DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN AND SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

 

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

 

Our distribution reinvestment plan provides our stockholders with an opportunity to purchase additional shares of common stock by reinvesting cash distributions. Stockholders who elect to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan will authorize us to reinvest distributions on all or a portion of their shares to purchase additional shares of common stock, including fractional shares. A participant will not be able to acquire common stock under the program if the purchase will cause him or her to exceed the 9.8% ownership limits or will violate any of the other share ownership restrictions imposed by our charter.  Because our charter provides that we may not issue certificates representing shares of our common stock unless expressly authorized by our board of directors, the shares of our common stock purchased through our distribution reinvestment plan typically will be issued only in book entry form.

 

We are able to offer shares through our distribution reinvestment plan at prices below the offering price in our “best efforts” offering because of a decrease in costs associated with these issuances. Common stock will be purchased under the distribution reinvestment plan on the applicable payment date for the distribution used to purchase the common stock. Distributions, if any, on common stock acquired under the distribution reinvestment plan will be paid at the same time that distributions are paid on common stock purchased outside the plan.

 

DST Systems, Inc. will serve as the plan administrator. DST will administer the plan, keep records and, as soon as practicable after each distribution payment date, provide each participant with a summary statement of his or her reinvestment account.

 

Any stockholder who has received a copy of this prospectus and has shares registered in his or her name is eligible to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan; participation in this plan is not a requirement. Stockholders who own shares not registered in their name (e.g., registered in the name of a bank or trustee holding shares of common stock on their behalf) should consult with the entity holding their shares to determine if it can enroll directly in the plan. If the entity cannot enroll directly, the stockholder should register the required number of shares directly in his or her name to enroll in the plan.  We do not expect to distribute a separate prospectus relating solely to the distribution reinvestment plan prior to the termination of the offering; instead, we distribute copies of this prospectus, as supplemented or amended from time-to-time. Following the termination of our “best efforts” offerings, we intend to separately register the shares reserved for issuance under the distribution reinvestment plan on a registration statement on Form S-3 or other appropriate form. Prospective enrollees will then receive a copy of the prospectus included in that registration statement.

 

Stockholders who are eligible to participate in the plan may join the plan at any time by properly completing the appropriate section of the subscription agreement. By signing the subscription agreement, stockholders certify that they have received and read a copy of this prospectus and agree to abide by the terms and conditions of the distribution reinvestment plan. A stockholder may enroll all, or less than all, of the shares registered in his or her name. If the stockholder’s subscription agreement is received by the administrator prior to a distribution payment date, reinvestment of distributions will begin with that distribution payment date. If the subscription agreement is received on or after a distribution payment date, the distribution payment will be made in cash and reinvestment of distributions on the enrolled shares will begin with the next following distribution payment date. Distribution and voting rights as to any purchased shares typically commence on the applicable distribution payment date. Once enrolled in the plan, a stockholder may change his or her reinvestment options at any time by submitting an election form at least five days prior to a distribution payment date.

 

219


 

Table of Contents

 

If we declare a distribution, participants in the distribution reinvestment plan will be able to use distributions paid by us to purchase shares at a fixed price of $9.50 per share until the earlier of:

 

·              the change of the public offering price per share of common stock in a public “best efforts” offering of our common stock from $10.00 per share, if there is a change; and

 

·              termination of any “best efforts” public offering of our common stock, unless followed by a subsequent “best efforts” public offering.

 

After the termination of all “best efforts” public offerings of our common stock, participants may acquire our shares at a price equal to 95% of the “market price” of a share of our common stock on the date of purchase until the shares become listed for trading on a national securities exchange (referred to herein as a “liquidity event”).  For purposes of this plan, “market price” means, prior to a liquidity event, either (1) the last price at which shares were offered by us in a “best efforts” public offering of our shares or (2) the estimated value of our shares as determined by our Business Manager, if this estimate is not equal to the last price at which shares were offered by us in a “best efforts” public offering. If a liquidity event occurs, participants will be able to purchase shares at a price equal to 100% of the average daily open and close price per share, as reported by the national securities exchange on which our shares are listed, on the distribution payment date.

 

The number of shares purchased for each participant will depend upon the aggregate amount of his or her cash distributions and the purchase price per share, as described above. We will not purchase shares of common stock for participants under the plan to the extent that the purchase will cause the participant to own in excess of 9.8% in value of our issued and outstanding shares of stock or 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, unless those limitations are waived by our board.

 

Participants may terminate their participation in the plan at any time. A participant must notify the plan administrator in order to terminate participation in the plan. However, we reserve the right to terminate the enrollment of any participant who has caused undue expenses under the plan. We will send the stockholder a check for any distributions earned subsequent to the effective date of termination.

 

We may amend, suspend or terminate the plan at any time, for any reason, including changing the purchase price of shares issued under the plan, without the prior consent of, stockholders.  In the event that we amend, suspend or terminate the distribution reinvestment plan, however, we will send participants notice of the change at least ten days prior to the change, and we will disclose the change in a report filed with the SEC on either Form 8-K, Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as appropriate.   Neither we nor any affiliates of IREIC receive a fee for selling shares through the distribution reinvestment plan. We do not warrant or guarantee that participants will acquire shares at the lowest possible price through the plan.

 

See “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences — Other Tax Considerations — Distribution Reinvestment Plan” for a discussion regarding tax effects of participating in the plan.

Share Repurchase Program

 

The share repurchase program is designed to provide eligible stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to us. The terms under which we may repurchase shares may differ between repurchases upon the death or “qualifying disability” of a stockholder (referred to herein as “exceptional repurchases”) and all other repurchases (referred to herein as “ordinary repurchases”).

 

Repurchase Price.  Subject to certain restrictions discussed below, we may make ordinary repurchases, from time to time, at the following prices:

 

·              92.5% of the share price for stockholders who have owned their shares for at least one year, but less than two years;

 

·              95% of the share price for stockholders who have owned their shares continuously for at least two years, but less than three years;

 

·              97.5% of the share price for stockholders who have owned their shares continuously for at least three years, but less than four years; and

 

·              100% of the share price for stockholders who have owned their shares continuously for at least four years.

 

In the case of exceptional repurchases, we may repurchase shares at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the share price.

 

For purposes of the share repurchase program, “share price” has the following meaning:

 

(A)          prior to the date that we first disclose an estimated value per share that is not based solely on the offering price of the shares in this “best efforts” offering, referred to herein as the “valuation date,” the share price will be equal to the offering price of our shares in this “best efforts” offering, which is referred to herein as the “offering price.”  However, if we have sold properties or other assets and have made one or more special distributions to stockholders of all or a portion of the net proceeds from the sales, the share price prior to the valuation date will be equal to the offering price less the amount of net sale proceeds per share that constitute a return of capital distributed to stockholders as a result of the sales.  Further, in the event that the stockholder requesting repurchase purchased his, her or its shares from us at a price that was less than the offering price, including at a discounted price through the distribution reinvestment plan, the share price applicable to those shares prior to the valuation date will be equal to the per share price paid by that stockholder for those shares requested to be repurchased, further reduced, if applicable, by distributions of net sales proceeds, as set forth in the preceding sentence; and

 

(B)          after the valuation date, the share price will be equal to the lesser of: (1) the share price determined in paragraph (A) above; or (2) the most recently disclosed estimated value per share, as determined by our board, our Business Manager or another firm that we have chosen for that purpose.

 

For example, under the program, if a stockholder has purchased our shares for $10.00 per share in our current “best efforts” offering and requests the repurchase of those shares before we have disclosed an estimated value per share that is not based solely on that purchase price, we may repurchase those shares

 

221


 

Table of Contents

 

at the following prices: $9.25 if the shares have been owned continuously for at least one year, but less than two years; $9.50 if the shares have been owned continuously for at least two years, but less than three years; $9.75 if the shares have been owned continuously for at least three years, but less than four years; and $10.00 if the shares have been owned continuously for at least four years.  Under the same example, if the stockholder is deceased, we will repurchase the shares for $10.00 per share.

 

Ordinary Repurchases.  In the case of ordinary repurchases, we may repurchase shares beneficially owned by a stockholder continuously for at least one year. However, in the event a stockholder is having all his or her shares repurchased, our board may waive the one-year holding requirement for shares originally purchased under our distribution reinvestment plan.  We may make ordinary repurchases only if we have sufficient funds available to complete the repurchase.  In any given calendar month, we are authorized to use only the proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan during that month to make ordinary repurchases; provided that, if we have excess funds during any particular month, we may, but are not obligated to, carry those excess funds to the subsequent calendar month for the purpose of making ordinary repurchases.  Subject to funds being available, in the case of ordinary repurchases, we will limit the number of shares repurchased during any calendar year to 5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31st of the previous calendar year.  In the event that we determine not to repurchase all of the shares presented during any month, including as a result of having insufficient funds or satisfying the 5% limit, to the extent we decide to repurchase shares, shares will be repurchased on a pro rata basis up to the limits described above.  Any stockholder whose ordinary repurchase request has been partially accepted in a particular calendar month will have the remainder of his or her request included with all new repurchase requests we have received in the immediately following calendar month, unless he or she chooses to withdraw that request.

 

Exceptional Repurchases.  We are authorized to use any funds to make exceptional repurchases.  In addition, there is no one-year holding period applicable to exceptional repurchases, and the 5% limit described above will not apply to exceptional repurchases.  With respect to any exceptional repurchases, we must receive the repurchase request within one year after the death or qualifying disability of the stockholder.  If persons are joint registered holders of shares, the request to repurchase the shares may be made if either of the registered holders dies or becomes disabled.  If the stockholder is not a natural person, such as a partnership, corporation or other similar entity, the right to an exceptional repurchase does not apply.

 

In the case of exceptional repurchases upon the death of a stockholder, we may repurchase shares upon the death of a stockholder who is a natural person, including shares held by the stockholder through a trust, or an IRA or other retirement or profit-sharing plan, after receiving a written request from: (1) the estate of the beneficial owner; (2) the recipient of the shares through bequest or inheritance, even where the recipient subsequently registered the shares in his or her own name; or (3) in the case of the death of a beneficial owner who purchased shares and held those shares through a trust, the beneficiary of the trust, even where the beneficiary subsequently registered the shares in his or her own name, or, with respect to a revocable grantor trust, the trustee of that trust.

 

In order for a disability to entitle a stockholder to qualify for an exceptional repurchase upon a disability (i.e. to be a “qualifying disability”); (1) the stockholder would have to receive a determination of disability arising after the date the stockholder acquired the shares to be repurchased; and (2) the determination of disability would have to be made by the governmental agency responsible for reviewing the disability retirement benefits that the stockholder could be eligible to receive, which we refer to as the applicable governmental agencies. The applicable governmental agencies would be limited to the following: (a) if the stockholder paid Social Security taxes and, therefore, could be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits, then the applicable governmental agency would be the Social Security Administration or the agency charged with responsibility for administering Social Security disability

 

222

benefits at that time if other than the Social Security Administration; (b) if the stockholder did not pay Social Security taxes and, therefore, could not be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits, but the stockholder could be eligible to receive disability benefits under the Civil Service Retirement System, or “CSRS,” then the applicable governmental agency would be the U.S. Office of Personnel Management or the agency charged with responsibility for administering CSRS benefits at that time if other than the Office of Personnel Management; or (c) if the stockholder did not pay Social Security taxes and therefore could not be eligible to receive Social Security benefits but suffered a disability that resulted in the stockholder’s discharge from military service under conditions that were other than dishonorable and, therefore, could be eligible to receive military disability benefits, then the applicable governmental agency would be the Department of Veterans Affairs or the agency charged with the responsibility for administering military disability benefits at that time if other than the Department of Veterans Affairs.

 

Disability determinations by governmental agencies for purposes other than those listed above, including but not limited to worker’s compensation insurance, administration or enforcement of the Rehabilitation Act or Americans with Disabilities Act, or waiver of insurance premiums would not entitle a stockholder to qualify for an exceptional repurchase. Repurchase requests following an award by the applicable governmental agency of disability benefits would have to be accompanied by: (1) the investor’s initial application for disability benefits; and (2) a Social Security Administration Notice of Award, a U.S. Office of Personnel Management determination of disability under CSRS, a Department of Veterans Affairs record of disability-related discharge or such other documentation issued by the applicable governmental agency that we would deem acceptable and would demonstrate an award of the disability benefits.

 

We understand that the following disabilities do not entitle a worker to Social Security disability benefits:

 

·               disabilities occurring after the legal retirement age; and

 

·               disabilities that do not render a worker incapable of performing substantial gainful activity.

 

Therefore, such disabilities would not entitle a stockholder to qualify for an exceptional repurchase, except in the limited circumstances when the stockholder would be awarded disability benefits by the other applicable governmental agencies described above.

 

General.  To request repurchase, the stockholder must submit a repurchase request at least five days prior to the repurchase date.  The repurchase request form is available on our website, www.inlandincometrust.com, and also may be obtained by calling (800) 826-8228.  The request must state the name of the person/entity who owns the shares and the number of shares to be repurchased, and must be properly executed.  In the case of a request for an exceptional repurchase upon the death of a stockholder, the request also must include evidence of the death of the stockholder (which includes the date of death).  In the case of a request for an exceptional repurchase upon a disability, the request also must include both the stockholder’s initial application for disability benefits and documentation issued by the governmental agency demonstrating an award of the disability benefits.  The stockholder must notify us in writing if the stockholder wishes to withdraw a pending request to have shares repurchased. We will not repurchase that stockholder’s shares so long as we receive the written request to withdraw at least five days prior to the repurchase date.  We will effect all repurchases on the last business day of the calendar month or any other business day that may be established by the board. Following the repurchase, we will send the requesting party the cash proceeds of the repurchase.

Table of Contents

 

All shares requested to be repurchased must be beneficially owned by the stockholder of record making the request, or the party presenting the shares must be authorized to do so by the owner of record of the shares or as otherwise described herein.  Further, the program is only available to those stockholders who purchased their shares from us or received the shares through a non-cash transaction, not in the secondary market.  All shares presented for repurchase must be fully transferable and not subject to any liens or encumbrances, and in certain cases, we may ask the requesting party to provide evidence satisfactory to us that the shares requested for repurchase are not subject to any liens or encumbrances. If we determine that a lien exists against the shares, we will not be obligated to repurchase any shares subject to the lien.

 

The share repurchase program will immediately terminate if our shares are listed on any national securities exchange.  In addition, our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend (in whole or in part), or terminate our share repurchase program.  In the event that we amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program, however, we will send stockholders notice of the change at least thirty days prior to the change, and we will disclose the change in a report filed with the SEC on either Form 8-K, Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as appropriate.  Further, our board reserves the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to reject any requests for repurchases.  See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Offering” for additional discussion regarding the amendment of our share repurchase program.

 

Shares we purchase under the share repurchase program will be canceled, and will have the status of authorized but unissued shares. The repurchased shares will not be reissued unless they are first registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and under appropriate state securities laws or otherwise issued in compliance with exemptions from the registration provisions contained in these laws.

 

We may appoint a repurchase agent to effect all repurchases of shares and to disburse funds to the stockholders in accordance with the share repurchase program. The repurchase agent will perform all recordkeeping and administrative functions involved in the program, and we will bear all costs involved in organizing, administering and maintaining the program.  No fees will be paid to IREIC, our Business Manager, our directors or any of their affiliates in connection with the repurchase of shares by us pursuant to the share repurchase program.

RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Board of Directors

(the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and the related statements of operations, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for the period from August 24, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2011.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from August 24, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(1)  Organization

 

Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on August 24, 2011 to acquire and manage a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate investments located in the United States and has not commenced operations.  Effective January 25, 2012, the Company changed its name from “Inland Core Assets Real Estate Trust, Inc.” to “Inland Monthly Income Trust, Inc.”, and effective March 23, 2012, the Company changed its name from “Inland Monthly Income Trust, Inc.” to “Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc.”  The Business Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) provides for IREIT Business Manager & Advisor, Inc. (the “Business Manager”), an Affiliate of the Company, to be the Business Manager to the Company.  The Company contemplates the sale of up to 150,000,000 shares of common stock (“Shares”) at $10 each in an initial public offering (the “Offering”) to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Registration Statement”) and the issuance of 30,000,000 shares at $9.50 each which may be distributed pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan.  No shares will be sold unless subscriptions for at least 200,000 shares (the minimum offering) have been obtained within one year after commencement of the Offering.

 

The Company intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for federal income tax purposes.  If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its stockholders.  If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.  Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, property or net worth and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

 

The Company will provide the following programs to facilitate investment in the Company’s shares and to provide limited liquidity for stockholders.

 

The Company will allow stockholders who purchase shares in the offering to purchase additional shares from the Company by automatically reinvesting distributions through the distribution reinvestment plan (“DRP”), subject to certain share ownership restrictions. Such purchases under the DRP will not be subject to selling commissions or the marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance, and are made at a price of $9.50 per share.

 

The Company may purchase shares under the share repurchase program (“SRP”), if the Company chooses to repurchase them. Subject to funds being available, the Company will limit the number of shares repurchased during any consecutive twelve month period to 5% of the number of shares outstanding at the beginning of that twelve month period. Funding for the SRP will come from proceeds that the Company receives from the distribution reinvestment plan.  The fiscal year-end of the Company is December 31.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Costs associated with the Offering are deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of the Offering upon closing.  Formation and organizational costs of $19,892 were expensed as incurred.

 

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.  For purposes of the statement of cash flows, all short-term investments with maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases.  A valuation allowance is established for uncertainties relating to realization of deferred tax assets.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $7,997 related to organizational costs, which are capitalized for income tax purposes, for which a valuation allowance was recorded due to current uncertainty of realization.

 

(3)  Transactions with Affiliates

 

The Company’s sponsor, Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation (the “Sponsor”) contributed $200,000 to the capital of the Company for which it received 20,000 shares of common stock.

 

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had incurred $858,998 of offering and organization costs, of which $619,690 was advanced by the Sponsor. Pursuant to the terms of the Offering, the Business Manager has guaranteed payment of all public offering and organization expenses (excluding sales commissions and the marketing contribution allowance) in excess of 1.5% of the gross proceeds of the offering or all organization and offering expenses (including selling commissions) which together exceed 11.5% of gross offering proceeds. In the event that the minimum offering is not successful, an Affiliate of the Business Manager will bear the related costs of the Offering.

 

The due to affiliates amount on the accompanying balance sheet represents non-interest bearing advances made by the Sponsor which will be repaid when the Company receives equity proceeds upon achieving the minimum offering.

 

Certain compensation and fees payable to the Business Manager for services to be provided to the Company are limited to maximum amounts.

Each Real Estate Manager will determine, in its sole discretion, the amount of the fee with respect to a particular property, subject to the limitations.  For each property that is managed directly by one of the Real Estate Managers or its affiliates, the Company will pay the Real Estate Manager a separate leasing fee based upon prevailing market rates applicable to the geographic market of that property. Further, in the event that the Company engages its Real Estate Managers to provide construction management services for a property, the Company will pay a separate construction management fee in an amount that is usual and customary for comparable services rendered to similar projects in the geographic market of the project.

 

The Company also will reimburse each Real Estate Manager and its affiliates for property-level expenses that they pay or incur on the Company’s behalf, including the salaries and benefits of persons employed by the Real Estate Manager and its affiliates except for the salaries and benefits of persons who also serve as one of the Company’s executive officers or as an executive officer of any of the Real Estate Managers.

Real estate sales commission   For substantial assistance in connection with the sale of properties, the Company will pay the Business Manager or its affiliates a real estate sales commission equal to up to 50% of the customary commissions which would be paid to a third party broker for the sale of a comparable property, provided that the amount may not exceed 1% of the contract purchase price of the property sold and, when added to all other real estate commissions paid to unaffiliated parties in connection with a sale, may not exceed the lesser of a competitive real estate commission or 3% of the sales price of the property.
     
Subordinated incentive fee  

Upon a “triggering event,” the Company will pay the Business Manager a fee equal to 10% of the amount by which (1) the “liquidity amount” exceeds (2) the “aggregate invested capital,” less any distributions of net sales or financing proceeds, plus the total distributions required to be paid to stockholders in order to pay them a 7% per annum cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded return on the “aggregate invested capital.” If the Company has not satisfied this return threshold at the time of the applicable triggering event, the fee will be paid at the time that the Company has satisfied the return requirements.

 

As used herein, a “triggering event” means any sale of assets (excluding the sale of marketable securities), in which the net sales proceeds are specifically identified and distributed to stockholders, or any liquidity event, such as a listing or any merger, reorganization, business combination, share exchange or acquisition, in which stockholders receive cash or the securities of another issuer that are listed on a national securities exchange.

(1)  Organization

 

Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on August 24, 2011 to acquire and manage a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate investments located in the United States and has not commenced operations. The Business Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) provides for Inland Real Estate Income Business Manager & Advisor, Inc. (the “Business Manager”), an Affiliate of the Company, to be the Business Manager to the Company.  The Company contemplates the sale of up to 150,000,000 shares of common stock (“Shares”) at $10 each in an initial public offering (the “Offering”) to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Registration Statement”) and the issuance of 30,000,000 shares at $9.50 each which may be distributed pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan.  No shares will be sold unless subscriptions for at least 200,000 shares (the minimum offering) have been obtained within one year after commencement of the Offering.

 

The Company intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for federal income tax purposes.  If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its stockholders.  If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.  Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, property or net worth and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

 

The Company will provide the following programs to facilitate investment in the Company’s shares and to provide limited liquidity for stockholders.

 

The Company will allow stockholders who purchase shares in the offering to purchase additional shares from the Company by automatically reinvesting distributions through the distribution reinvestment plan (“DRP”), subject to certain share ownership restrictions. Such purchases under the DRP will not be subject to selling commissions or the marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance, and are made at a price of $9.50 per share.

 

The Company may purchase shares under the share repurchase program (“SRP”), if the Company chooses to repurchase them. Subject to funds being available, the Company will limit the number of shares repurchased during any consecutive twelve month period to 5% of the number of shares outstanding at the beginning of that twelve month period. Funding for the SRP will come from proceeds that the Company receives from the distribution reinvestment plan.  The fiscal year-end of the Company is December 31.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Costs associated with the Offering are deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of the Offering upon closing.  Formation and organizational costs were expensed as incurred.

 

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.  For purposes of the statement of cash flows, all short-term investments with maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases.  A valuation allowance is established for uncertainties relating to realization of deferred tax assets.  As of June 30, 2012, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $30,014 related to organizational costs, which are capitalized for income tax purposes, for which a valuation allowance was recorded due to current uncertainty of realization.

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and in with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting.  Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of the Company, these unaudited financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the information set forth herein.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

 

(3)  Transactions with Affiliates

 

The Company’s sponsor, Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation (the “Sponsor”) contributed $200,000 to the capital of the Company for which it received 20,000 shares of common stock.

 

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had incurred $1,397,736 of offering and organization costs, of which $1,003,942 was advanced by the Sponsor. Pursuant to the terms of the Offering, the Business Manager has guaranteed payment of all public offering and organization expenses (excluding sales commissions and the marketing contribution allowance) in excess of 1.5% of the gross proceeds of the offering or all organization and offering expenses (including selling commissions) which together exceed 11.5% of gross offering proceeds. In the event that the minimum offering is not successful, an Affiliate of the Business Manager will bear the related costs of the Offering.

 

The due to affiliates amount on the accompanying balance sheet represents non-interest bearing advances made by the Sponsor which will be repaid when the Company receives equity proceeds upon achieving the minimum offering.

 

Certain compensation and fees payable to the Business Manager for services to be provided to the Company are limited to maximum amounts.

Operational Stage    
     
Acquisition expenses   The Company will reimburse the Business Manager and its affiliates for expenses paid on the Company’s behalf in connection with acquiring real estate assets, regardless of whether the Company acquires the real estate assets.

The Company will pay the Business Manager an annual business management fee equal to 0.65% of its “average invested assets,” payable quarterly in an amount equal to 0.1625% of its average invested assets as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter.

 

“Average invested assets” means, for any period, the average of the aggregate book value of the Company’s assets, including all intangibles and goodwill, invested, directly or indirectly, in equity interests in, and loans secured by, properties, as well as amounts invested in securities and consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures or other partnerships, before reserves for amortization and depreciation or bad debts, impairments or other similar non-cash reserves, computed by taking the average of these values at the end of each month during the relevant calendar quarter.

Each Real Estate Manager will determine, in its sole discretion, the amount of the fee with respect to a particular property, subject to the limitations. For each property that is managed directly by one of the Real Estate Managers or its affiliates, the Company will pay the Real Estate Manager a separate leasing fee based upon prevailing market rates applicable to the geographic market of that property. Further, in the event that the Company engages its Real Estate Managers to provide construction management services for a property, the Company will pay a separate construction management fee in an amount that is usual and customary for comparable services rendered to similar projects in the geographic market of the project.

Upon a “triggering event,” the Company will pay the Business Manager a fee equal to 10% of the amount by which (1) the “liquidity amount” exceeds (2) the “aggregate invested capital,” less any distributions of net sales or financing proceeds, plus the total distributions required to be paid to stockholders in order to pay them an 7% per annum cumulative, pre-tax non-compounded return on the “aggregate invested capital.” If the Company has not satisfied this return threshold at the time of the applicable triggering event, the fee will be paid at the time that the Company has satisfied the return requirements.

 

As used herein, a “triggering event” means any sale of assets (excluding the sale of marketable securities), in which the net sales proceeds are specifically identified and distributed to stockholders, or any liquidity event, such as a listing or any merger, reorganization, business combination, share exchange or acquisition, in which stockholders receive cash or the securities of another issuer that are listed on a national securities exchange.

APPENDIX A

PRIOR PERFORMANCE TABLES

 

The following prior performance tables contain information concerning real estate programs sponsored by IREIC.  This information has been summarized in narrative form under “Prior Performance of IREIC Affiliates” in the prospectus.  The tables provide information on the performance of a number of programs.  You can use the information to evaluate the experience of IREIC and its affiliates.  The inclusion of these tables does not imply that we will make investments comparable to those reflected in the tables or that investors in our shares will experience returns comparable to those experienced in the programs referred to in these tables.  If you purchase our shares, you will not acquire any ownership in any of the programs to which these tables relate.  The tables consist of:

 

Table I Experience in Raising and Investing Funds
Table II Compensation to IREIC and Affiliates
Table III Operating Results of Prior Programs
Table IV Results of Completed Programs
Table V Sales or Disposals of Properties
Table VI Acquisition of Properties by Programs

 

Table VI is included in Part II to Form S-11 Registration Statement, as amended, that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Upon written request to us or our Business Manager, any prospective investor may obtain, without charge, a copy of Table VI.  See also “Where You Can Find More Information” for information on examining at offices of, or obtaining copies from, the SEC.  Upon written request, any potential investor may obtain, without charge, the most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC by any public program sponsored by any of the affiliated companies described below that has reported to the SEC within the last twenty-four months.  For a reasonable fee, these affiliated companies will provide copies of any exhibits to such annual reports upon request.

 

Our investment objectives are to: (1) to preserve and protect our stockholders’ investments; (2) to acquire quality commercial real estate assets that generate, over time, sufficient cash flow from operations to fund sustainable and predictable distributions; and (3) to realize capital appreciation through the potential sale of our assets or other liquidity.  The following programs have investment objectives similar to ours.  Inland Real Estate Corporation, or “IRC,” Inland Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc., or “IRRETI,” and Retail Properties of America, Inc., or “RPAI,” were formed primarily to invest in multi-tenant shopping centers.  Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc., or “Inland American,” and Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc., or “Inland Diversified,” were formed primarily to invest in several segments of real estate properties.  Inland Opportunity Fund, L.L.C. and Inland Opportunity Fund II, L.L.C. were formed to acquire and develop, directly or through joint ventures or other common ownership entities with affiliated and unaffiliated parties, “value-added” and “development” assets.

 

The real estate exchange private placements offered by Inland Private Capital Corporation (formerly, Inland Real Estate Exchange Corporation), referred to as the “1031 Exchange Programs,” are designed to provide replacement properties for persons wishing to complete an IRS Section 1031 real estate exchange.  Thus, these 1031 Exchange Programs do not have investment objectives similar to ours.  However, these 1031 Exchange Programs have owned real estate assets similar to those that we may seek to acquire, including industrial buildings, shopping centers, office buildings and other retail buildings.

NOTES TO TABLE III

 


(A) Inland American has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes.  Thus, it generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its stockholders.  If Inland American fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.  However, even if the program qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, property or its net worth and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
   
(B) Operating expenses include property operating expenses such as real estate tax expense, insurance expense, property management fees, utilities, repairs, maintenance and any provisions for asset impairment.
   
(C) Program expenses include advisor fees and general and administrative costs such as salaries, audit and tax services, D&O insurance, printing and postage.
   
(D) For the 1031 Exchange Programs, depreciation and amortization and tax data are calculated by each individual investor based on their individual basis.
   
(E) From time to time, Inland American or Inland Opportunity Fund, L.L.C may acquire a property that includes one or more unleased premises.  In certain cases, these programs may enter into a master lease agreement with the seller of the property with respect to these unleased premises.  These master lease agreements provide for payments to be made to the program and are designed to offset lost rent and common area maintenance (or “CAM”) expenses paid by the program with respect to the unleased premises.  Payments are made from an escrow account established at the time of closing and may continue for a period of up to three years following the closing date as certain re-leasing conditions are satisfied.  These escrow payments are recorded as a reduction in the purchase price of the property rather than as rental, or operating, income.
   
(F) In any year in which distributions to investors exceeded total cash available before distributions and special items, Inland American and Inland Opportunity Fund, L.L.C. partially funded the distributions in that year with excess cash available from prior years or cash provided from financing activities.
   
(G) Distributions by a REIT to the extent of its current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes are taxable to stockholders as ordinary income.  Distributions in excess of these earnings and profits generally are treated as a non-taxable reduction of the stockholder’s basis in the shares to the extent thereof, and thereafter as taxable gain (a return of capital).  These distributions in excess of earnings and profits will have the effect of deferring taxation of the amount of the distribution until the sale of the stockholder’s shares.

(A)           For the 1031 Exchange Programs, depreciation and amortization and tax data are calculated by each individual investor based on their individual basis.

 

(B)           For tax purposes, this sale qualified as part of a tax-deferred exchange.  As a result, no taxable gain will be recognized until the replacement property is disposed of in a subsequent taxable transaction.

 

(C)           Distributions from 1999 through September 30, 2008 totaled approximately $845.4 million.  Based on Form 1099s filed by IRRETI during that period, tax and distribution data per $1,000 invested totaled: $369 in ordinary income, $267 in return of capital and $2.0 in capital gain.

(note (C) continued)

 

On February 27, 2007, IRRETI and Developers Diversified Realty Corporation (“DDR”) consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 20, 2006, among DDR, a subsidiary of DDR and IRRETI. Pursuant to the agreement, DDR acquired IRRETI for a total merger consideration of $14.00 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends for the month of February in cash, prorated in accordance with the agreement. DDR elected to pay the merger consideration to the IRRETI stockholders through combination of $12.50 in cash and $1.50 in common shares of DDR, which equates to a 0.021569 common share of DDR. The transaction has a total enterprise value of approximately $6.2 billion. No financial reports for IRRETI for the year ended December 31, 2006 were issued and, as a result of the acquisition by DDR, no further information regarding IRRETI is available.

 

(D)           These programs, with the exception of IRRETI, are 1031 exchange programs, and thus are not required to prepare their financial statements in conformity with GAAP.  Accordingly, these programs maintain their books on a cash basis.  Therefore, the source of distributions is presented on a cash basis for these seven entities.

APPENDIX B

 

INLAND REAL ESTATE INCOME TRUST, INC.
DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN

 

Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), as a service to its stockholders, hereby offers participation in its Distribution Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is designed to provide participants with a simple, convenient and economical way to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Stockholders who choose not to participate in the Plan will receive cash distributions, as declared and paid by the Company.

 

To aid in your understanding of the question-and-answer statements set forth below, you may find the following basic definitions useful:

 

Shares registered in your name” means shares of the Company’s common stock for which you are the owner of record. If you own shares of the Company’s common stock but are not the owner of record for those shares, it is likely that the shares you own are registered in the name of another (e.g., in the name of a bank or trustee holding shares of common stock on your behalf) and are held for you by the registered owner in an account in your name.

 

Shares enrolled in the Plan” means shares registered in your name that you have chosen to enroll in the Plan. Distributions on all shares enrolled in the Plan are automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. You do not have to enroll all of your shares of common stock in the Plan.

 

The following question-and-answer statements define the Company’s Distribution Reinvestment Plan, effective as of October 18, 2012.

 

Purpose

 

1.    What is the purpose of the Plan?

 

The purpose of the Plan is to provide eligible stockholders (see Question 5) with a simple and convenient way to invest cash distributions in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. The Plan is intended to be used by you as a vehicle for long-term investment in the Company’s common stock.

 

Maximum Ownership of Shares. To maintain the Company’s qualification as a REIT, no more than 50% of its outstanding shares of common stock may be owned directly or indirectly by five or fewer individuals at any time during July through December of each year. To ensure that the Company meets this test, its charter provides that no person may own more than 9.8% in value of its issued and outstanding stock or more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of its issued and outstanding common stock. Therefore, to the extent that any purchase of shares of common stock under the Plan would cause you to own in excess of 9.8% in value of the Company’s issued and outstanding stock or 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, you may not reinvest your distributions to purchase additional shares of common stock.

 

B-1


 

Table of Contents

 

Investment Options

 

2.    What investment options are available to participants in the Plan?

 

The Plan provides two options for purchasing additional shares of common stock:

 

Full Distribution Reinvestment Option. You may have cash distributions on all of your shares of common stock automatically reinvested; or

 

Partial Distribution Reinvestment Option. You may reinvest distributions on a percentage of the shares of common stock you own and continue to receive cash distributions on the other shares registered in your name. You can take advantage of this option by enrolling in the Plan only that percentage of your shares for which you wish to reinvest distributions.

 

Benefits and Disadvantages

 

3.    What are the benefits and disadvantages of the Plan?

 

Benefits. Before deciding whether to participate, you should consider the following benefits of the Plan:

 

·              You may purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock by automatically reinvesting cash distributions on all, or less than all, of the shares registered in your name. You will continue to receive cash distributions for those shares of common stock that you choose not to enroll in the Plan.

 

·              No commissions, brokerage fees or service charges will be paid by you in connection with purchases under the Plan.

 

·              Your funds will be fully invested because the Plan permits fractions of shares of common stock to be purchased for you and registered in your name. Distributions on such fractions, as well as on whole shares, will be reinvested in additional shares of common stock and registered in your name.

 

·              Regular statements from the Administrator reflecting all current activity in your account, including purchases, sales and latest balance, will simplify your recordkeeping.

 

Disadvantages. Before deciding whether to participate, you should consider the following disadvantages of the Plan:

 

·              You will be treated for federal income tax purposes as receiving a distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares of common stock purchased for you as a result of the reinvestment of cash distributions. This distribution will be taxable to the extent of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits (and to the extent the distribution exceeds both the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits and the tax basis in your shares of common stock). Accordingly, you may have a tax liability without a corresponding distribution of cash with which to pay the liability when it comes due.

 

B-2


 

Table of Contents

 

·             You may not know the actual number of shares of common stock purchased for you as a result of the reinvestment of cash distributions until after the applicable Distribution Payment Date, as defined in Question 16.

 

·              You may incur brokerage commissions, fees and income taxes, as described in Question 20.

 

·              We may amend, suspend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time, without the prior consent of participants in the Plan.

 

Administration

 

4.    Who administers the Plan for participants?

 

DST Systems, Inc. (the “Administrator”) administers the Plan, keeps records, sends statements of account to each participant, and performs other duties related to the Plan. Shares purchased under the Plan will be registered in your name.

 

The Company, in conjunction with the Administrator, may adopt rules and regulations to facilitate the administration of the Plan. The Company reserves the right to interpret the provisions of the Plan, and any rules and regulations adopted in accordance therewith, in its sole discretion. The determination of any matter with respect to the Plan made by the Company in good faith shall be final and conclusive and binding on the Administrator and all participants in the Plan. The Administrator currently acts as distribution disbursing and transfer agent and registrar for the Company’s common stock and may have other business relationships with the Company from time to time.

 

For answers to questions regarding the Plan and to request Plan forms, please contact the Company at (800) 826-8228.

 

Eligibility and Enrollment

 

5.    Who is eligible to participate?

 

If you are a stockholder in the Company and have shares registered in your name, you are eligible to participate in the Plan. If your shares of common stock are registered in a name other than your own (e.g., in the name of a bank or trustee holding shares of common stock on your behalf) and you want to participate in the Plan, you should consult directly with the entity holding your shares to determine if they can enroll in the Plan. You will not be eligible to participate in the Plan, however, if you reside in a jurisdiction in which it is unlawful or unduly burdensome for the Company or the Administrator to let you participate.

 

The Company reserves the right to reject the enrollment of any participant who has abused the Plan through excessive sales, terminations and enrollments, or otherwise (see Questions 1 and 30).

 

6.    When may an eligible person join the Plan?

 

If you are eligible to participate as described in Question 5 and have been furnished a copy of the Company’s Prospectus, you may join the Plan at any time. Your enrollment will become effective as described below in Question 12.

 

B-3


 

Table of Contents

 

7.    What happens if a participant’s financial condition changes after enrollment?

 

You must notify the Administrator in the event that, at any time during your participation in the Plan, there is any material change in your financial condition, as compared to information previously provided to your broker or financial advisors, or inaccuracy of any representation under the subscription agreement for your initial purchase of Securities, including specifically with respect to the concentration limits applicable to residents of certain states.  A “material change” also includes any anticipated or actual material decrease in your net worth or annual gross income, or any other material change in circumstances that may be likely to cause you to fail to meet the minimum income and net worth standards or the concentration limits set forth in the Company’s prospectus for your initial purchase of shares or cause your broker or financial advisor to determine that an investment in shares of the Company’s common stock is no longer suitable and appropriate for you.

 

8.    How does an eligible person join the Plan?

 

You may join the Plan by completing the appropriate section of the subscription agreement or submitting a distribution election form. In the event you wish to enroll shares of common stock that are registered in more than one name (i.e., joint tenants, trustees, etc.), all registered stockholders must sign the subscription agreement.

 

You should send any original subscription agreement to the address indicated on your subscription agreement.  You should send any distribution election forms to the address set forth on the form.

 

9.    Is partial participation possible under the Plan?

 

Yes.  You may elect to enroll in the Plan all, or less than all, of the shares registered in your name.

 

10.   For what reinvestment options does the Election Form provide?

 

By joining the Plan, you authorize the Administrator to invest in accordance with the Plan all cash distributions paid on your shares then or subsequently enrolled in the Plan. The Plan also provides for the partial enrollment in the Plan of your shares of common stock. If you do not wish all of the shares of common stock held in your name to be enrolled in the Plan, you may designate the percentage of shares of common stock you do wish enrolled.

 

11.   How may a participant change options under the Plan?

 

As a participant, you may change your reinvestment options at any time by requesting a distribution election form and returning it to the Administrator at the address set forth on the form.  Any change in reinvestment option must be received by the Administrator not later than five days prior to the next Distribution Payment Date in order to make a change with respect to that distribution payment (see also Questions 12, 13 and 16).

 

12.   When does enrollment in the Plan become effective?

 

Your signed subscription agreement will be processed as quickly as practicable after its receipt by the Administrator. Reinvestment of cash distributions on your shares enrolled in the Plan will take place as follows:

 

B-4


 

Table of Contents

 

·              If your signed subscription agreement is received by the Administrator prior to the Distribution Payment Date, reinvestment of distributions on your enrolled shares of common stock will begin with that Distribution Payment Date.

 

·              If your signed subscription agreement is received by the Administrator on or after the Distribution Payment Date, that distribution payment will be made in cash and reinvestment of distributions on your enrolled shares of common stock will begin with the next following Distribution Payment Date.

 

For a discussion of Record Dates and Distribution Payment Dates, see Questions 14 and 16.

 

Costs

 

13.   Are there any costs to participants in the Plan?

 

All costs to administer the Plan are paid by the Company, except that you may incur brokerage commissions, fees and income taxes as a result of your participation in the Plan (see Question 20).

 

Purchases

 

14.   When are the Record Dates and Distribution Payment Dates for the Company’s distributions?

 

You should not assume that the Company will pay distributions or pay them in any particular amount or on any particular date. The Company’s board of directors will establish Distribution Payment Dates and corresponding Record Dates.

 

The Company currently has no plans to declare any special or extraordinary distributions. However, should any such special distribution be declared, the amount due on shares enrolled in the Plan will be paid to your account under the Plan and invested in accordance with the Plan, subject to your right to withdraw at any time.

 

15.   What is the source of shares purchased under the Plan?

 

The sole source of shares purchased under the Plan is newly issued shares of common stock purchased directly from the Company.

 

16.   When will shares be purchased under the Plan?

 

Cash distributions reinvested under the Plan will be applied to the purchase of shares of common stock on the dates that cash distributions are paid on the Company’s common stock (each, a “Distribution Payment Date”). Shares generally will be purchased for you and registered in your name on the Distribution Payment Date.

 

17.   What will be the price of the shares purchased under the Plan?

 

The price per share for shares of common stock purchased for you under the Plan on any Distribution Payment Date will be equal to $9.50 per share until the earlier of:

 

B-5


 

Table of Contents

 

·              the change of the public offering price per share of common stock in a public “best efforts” offering of the Company’s common stock from $10.00 per share, if there is a change; and

 

·              termination of any “best efforts” public offering of the Company’s common stock, unless followed by a subsequent “best efforts” public offering.

 

After the termination of all “best efforts” public offerings of the Company’s common stock, the price per share for shares of common stock purchased for you under the Plan on any Distribution Payment Date will be equal to 95% of the “market price” of a share of the Company’s common stock until the shares become listed for trading For these purposes, “market price” means, prior to a liquidity event, either (1) the last price at which shares were offered by the Company in a “best efforts” public offering of its shares or (2) the estimated value of the Company’s shares as determined by the Company’s business manager, if this estimate is not equal to the last price at which shares were offered by the Company in a “best efforts” public offering. If a liquidity event occurs, the price per share for shares of common stock purchased for you under the Plan will be equal to 100% of the average daily open and close sales price per share, as reported by the national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, whichever is applicable, on any Distribution Payment Date.

 

18.   How many shares will be purchased for participants?

 

The number of shares of common stock purchased for you depends on the aggregate amount of your cash distributions and the purchase price per share, determined in accordance with Question 17. A number of shares of common stock, including fractions computed to three decimal places, equal to the aggregate amount of your cash distributions on any particular Distribution Payment Date, less taxes on distributions (if applicable, see Question 20 and Question 21), divided by the applicable purchase price per share, will be purchased for you and registered in your name. The Administrator and the Company will not accept orders to purchase a specific number of shares or to purchase on days other than the applicable Distribution Payment Date. The Company will not purchase shares of common stock for you under the Plan to the extent that the purchase would cause you to own in excess of 9.8% in value of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of stock and 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, unless those limitations are waived by the Company’s board of directors.

 

19.   Will shares purchased through the Plan earn distributions?

 

Yes. All shares purchased through the Plan, including fractional shares, will be entitled to any distributions when and as declared by the Company. Only shares of common stock held as of a Record Date for a given distribution are entitled to that distribution.

 

Taxes

 

20.   What are the income tax consequences of participation in the Plan?

 

The Company believes the following to be an accurate summary of the federal income tax consequences for Plan participants as of the effective date of this Plan. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences that may result from your participation in the Plan and the subsequent disposition by you of shares of common stock purchased pursuant to the Plan.

 

B-6


 

Table of Contents

 

(1)    Cash distributions reinvested under the Plan are, in effect, treated for federal income tax purposes as having been received in cash on the Distribution Payment Date even though they are used to purchase additional shares of common stock. You will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received, on the investment date, a dividend equal to the sum of (a) the fair market value of any common stock purchased under the plan (including common stock purchased through reinvestment of dividends on shares held in your account), and (b) any cash distributions actually received by you with respect to your shares of common stock not included in the plan.

 

(2)    The tax basis per share of common stock purchased under the Plan is the fair market value of the share on the Distribution Payment Date on which the share was purchased for you and registered in your name.

 

(3)    The holding period for shares of common stock acquired with reinvested distributions generally will begin on the day following the Distribution Payment Date on which the shares were purchased for you and registered in your name (see Question 16).

 

(4)    Distributions in excess of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will not be taxable to you to the extent that the excess distributions do not exceed the adjusted tax basis of your shares. You will be required, however, to reduce the adjusted tax basis of your shares by the amount of any distributions in excess of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. To the extent that the distributions to you of amounts in excess of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits exceed the adjusted tax basis of your shares, this excess amount will be taxable as capital gain.

 

(5)    A gain or loss may be recognized upon your disposition of common stock received from the Plan. The amount of gain or loss will be the difference between the amount received for the whole or fractional shares of common stock and the tax basis of the whole or fractional shares of common stock. Generally, any gain or loss recognized on the disposition of common stock acquired under the Plan will be treated for federal income tax purposes as a capital gain or loss.

 

21.   How are income tax withholding provisions applied to participants in the Plan?

 

If you fail to furnish a valid taxpayer identification number to the Administrator and fail to certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, then the Administrator is required by law under the backup withholding rules to withhold taxes from the amount of distributions and the proceeds from any sale of your shares.  Under certain other circumstances, you also may be subject to backup withholding. The withheld amount will be deducted from the amount of distributions and the remaining amount of distributions reinvested. In the case of a sale, the withheld amount will be deducted from the sale proceeds and the remaining amount will be sent to you.

 

If you are a non-U.S. stockholder you must provide the required federal income tax certifications to establish your status as a non-U.S. stockholder in order for backup withholding not to apply to you. You also must provide the required certifications if you wish to claim the benefit of exemptions from federal income tax withholding or reduced withholding rates under a treaty or convention entered into between the United States and your country of residence. If you are a non-U.S. stockholder participating in the plan whose dividends are subject to federal income tax withholding, the appropriate amount will be withheld and the balance will be applied to purchase shares of common stock, which will be registered in your name.

 

B-7


 

Table of Contents

 

Reports to Participants

 

22.   What kinds of reports will be sent to participants in the Plan?

 

As soon as practicable after each Distribution Payment Date, a summary statement of your account will be mailed to you by the Administrator. These statements are your continuing record of current activity including the cost of your purchases and proceeds from your sales in the Plan. In addition, you will be sent copies of other communications sent to holders of the Company’s common stock, including the Company’s annual report, the notice of annual meeting, proxy statement, and the information you will need for reporting your distribution income for federal income tax purposes. If, after receiving and reviewing this information, you no longer wish to participate in the Plan, you may withdraw from the Plan in accordance with the terms set forth in Questions 24 and 25 below.

 

All notices, statements and reports from the Administrator and Company to you will be addressed to your latest address of record with the Administrator. Therefore, you must promptly notify the Administrator of any change of address. To be effective with respect to mailings of distribution checks, address changes must be received by the Administrator five business days prior to the next Distribution Payment Date.

 

Certificates for Shares

 

23.   Will certificates be issued for shares purchased?

 

No. Shares of the Company’s common stock purchased through the Plan will be issued in book entry form only. This means that we will not issue actual share certificates to you or any holders of the Company’s common stock. The use of book entry only registration protects you against loss, theft or destruction of stock certificates and reduces costs. Shares of common stock purchased through the Plan will be registered in your name. The number of shares of common stock registered in your name will be shown on your statement of your account.

 

Termination of Participation

 

24.   When may a participant terminate participation in the Plan?

 

You may request termination of your participation in the Plan at any time. Any distributions earned subsequent to the effective date of your termination will be paid to you by check unless you re-enroll in the Plan.

 

25.   How does a participant terminate participation in the Plan?

 

To terminate your participation in the Plan, you must notify the Administrator that you wish to do so.  An election form should be sent to the address set forth on the election form.

 

26.   May an individual’s participation be terminated by the Company or the Administrator?

 

The Company reserves the right to terminate the participation of any participant who, in the Company’s sole discretion, is abusing the Plan or causing undue expense. The Company also reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Plan with respect to participants in one or more jurisdictions.

 

B-8


 

Table of Contents

 

Sales of Shares

 

27.   What happens when a participant sells or transfers all of his or her shares?

 

If you sell or transfer all the shares registered in your name, your participation in the Plan will automatically terminate.  Any distributions received after your disposition of the shares (for example, if the shares of common stock are disposed after the Record Date and before the Distribution Payment Date), will be paid in cash.

 

28.   What happens when a participant sells or transfers some but not all of his or her shares?

 

If you have elected the “Full Distribution Reinvestment” option described in Question 2, and you transfer or sell a portion of the shares registered in your name, then the Administrator will continue to reinvest the distributions on all remaining shares registered in your name.

 

If you have elected the “Partial Distribution Reinvestment” option described at Question 2 by enrolling in the Plan only a percentage of the shares you own, and you transfer or sell a portion of the shares registered in your name, then the Administrator will continue to reinvest the distributions on the remaining shares registered in your name up to the number of shares originally enrolled in the Plan. For example, if you requested the Company to enroll in the Plan 50% of the 100 shares registered in your name, and then you transferred or sold 20 shares, the Company would continue to reinvest the distributions on 40 shares. If instead, you transferred or sold 80 shares, the Company would continue to reinvest the distributions on 10 shares.

 

Other Information

 

29.   What are the responsibilities of the Administrator and the Company under the Plan?

 

Subject to the limitations contained in the Company’s charter, the Administrator and the Company will not be liable under the Plan for any act done in good faith or for any good faith omission to act, including, without limitation, any claim of liability arising with respect to the prices or times at which shares are purchased for you or any change in the market value of the Company’s common stock.

 

You should not assume that the Company will pay distributions or pay them in any particular amount or on any particular date.

 

You should recognize that neither the Administrator nor the Company can assure you of a profit or protect you against a loss on the shares of common stock purchased by you under the Plan.

 

30.   May the Plan be changed or discontinued?

 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, the Company reserves the right to amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, in whole or in part, or in respect to participants in one or more jurisdictions, without the prior consent of participants in the Plan. In the event that the Company amends, suspends or terminates the Plan, however, the Company will mail participants notice of the change at least ten calendar days prior to the change, and the Company will disclose the change in a report filed with the SEC on either Form 8-K, Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as appropriate.

Summary OVERVIEW

Status of the Offering

This public offering commenced on October 18, 2012. As of October 26, 2012, we had satisfied our minimum offering requirements in all states except Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. With the exception of subscription proceeds received from residents of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee, all subscription proceeds have been released from the escrow account maintained by our third-party escrow agent.

Through April 10, 2013, we have sold approximately 853,000 shares of our common stock in our “best efforts” offering and approximately 3,000 shares of our common stock through our distribution reinvestment plan, or DRP, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $7.9 million. As of April 10, 2013, approximately 149.1 million shares of our common stock remain available for sale in our “best efforts” offering, and approximately 29.9 million shares of our common stock remain available for issuance through our DRP. We reserve the right to reallocate the shares of common stock we are offering between our “best efforts” offering and our DRP.

(1) We determine capitalization rate, or “cap rate,” by dividing the property’s annualized net operating income (“NOI”), existing at the date of acquisition, by the contract purchase price of the property paid at the date of acquisition (excluding amounts payable under earnout agreements as of the date of acquisition).  NOI consists of, for these purposes, rental income and expense reimbursements from in-place leases, including master leases, if any, reduced by operating expenses and existing vacancies.
(2) Annualized base rent is calculated by annualizing the current, in-place monthly base rent for leases at the time of acquisition, including any tenant concessions, such as rent abatement or allowances, that may have been granted.
(3) This represents the average remaining lease term, as calculated at closing.
(4) As used in this supplement, economic occupancy is defined as the percentage of total gross leasable area for which a tenant is obligated to pay rent under the terms of its lease agreement, regardless of the actual use or occupation by that tenant of the area being leased.  Additionally, it excludes vacant spaces subject to earnout agreements as of the date of acquisition.

Distributions

We began paying distributions to stockholders of record during December 2012. We pay distributions based on daily record dates, payable monthly in arrears. The December 2012 distributions were equal to a daily amount of $0.001639344, which if paid each day for a 366-day (2012 leap year) period, would equal $0.60 per share, or a 6% annualized rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share. A summary of the distributions declared, distributions paid and cash flows from operations for the month of December 2012 follows:

     (2)   Distributions declared in December 2012 were paid on January 2, 2013.  
   

We have also paid distributions to each stockholder of record between January 1, 2013 and March 31, 2013, and declared distributions to each stockholder of record during the month of April 2013. The distributions paid and declared equal a daily amount that, if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 6% annualized rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share, calculated at a rate of $0.001643836 per share per day. Distributions declared for each day of the month of April will be paid no later than May 1, 2013.

We intend to continue paying distributions for future periods in the amounts and at times as determined by our board. The monies needed to pay all distributions paid through the date of this supplement were funded from the net proceeds of our “best efforts” offering. We anticipate that some or all of the monies needed to fund the distributions declared and payable for each day of April 2013 will be funded from the net proceeds of our “best efforts” offering. See also “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business — The amount and timing of distributions, if any, may vary. We may pay distribution from sources other than cash flow from operations, including the net offering proceeds of this offering.”

Distributions – 2012 Tax Allocation

For the year ended December 31, 2012, we declared distributions of approximately $13,793, which we paid on January 2, 2013. For tax allocation purposes, no distributions were paid in 2012.

Taxation as a REIT – Taxable Year Ending December 31, 2013

The following disclosure replaces the third to last sentence in the first paragraph on the cover page of the prospectus.

The Company did not have material operations and had an operating loss of approximately $1.1 million during the tax year ended December 31, 2012. We intend to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or “REIT,” commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 2013. All references to intention to qualify as a REIT commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 2012 or our first year of material operations throughout this prospectus shall be deemed to refer to the taxable year ending December 31, 2013.

Prospectus Summary

Dedicated Acquisitions Capability

The following updates the discussion contained in the section of our prospectus captioned “Dedicated Acquisitions Capability,” which is on pages 18 and 128 of the prospectus.

In addition to opportunities made available to us by IREA, our Business Manager employs its own acquisition officer, Mr. Louis Quilici, to exclusively focus on identifying and acquiring real estate assets for us. Any opportunities identified by our Business Manager will be presented only to us, and will not be subject to rights of first refusal previously granted to other programs sponsored by IREIC or its affiliates.

Distribution Policy

The following updates the section of the prospectus captioned “Prospectus Summary – Distribution Policy,” which begins on page 28, and all other similar discussions throughout the prospectus.

We currently pay distributions based on daily record dates, payable monthly in arrears. The distributions that we currently pay are equal to a daily amount equal to $0.001643836, which if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 6.0% annualized rate based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share. See “Summary Overview – Distributions” for a summary of the distributions we have declared through the date of this prospectus supplement.

We intend to continue paying distributions for future periods in the amounts and at times as determined by our board.

RISK FACTORS

 

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “We have no operating history, and the prior performance of programs sponsored by IREIC should not be used to predict our future results,” which is located on page 34 of the prospectus.

We have a limited operating history, and the prior performance of programs sponsored by IREIC should not be used to predict our future results.

We are newly formed with a limited operating history subject to all of the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by other newly formed companies with similar objectives. We and our Business Manager must, among other things:

 

  identify and acquire real estate assets consistent with our investment strategies;
     
  increase awareness of the Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. name within the investment products market;
     
  attract, integrate, motivate and retain qualified personnel to manage our day-to-day operations; and
     
  continue to build and expand our operations structure to support our business.

 

You should not rely upon the past performance of other IREIC-sponsored programs as an indicator of our future performance. There is no assurance that we will achieve our investment objectives.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factors captioned “There is no public market for our shares, and you may not be able to sell your shares” and “Our share repurchase program may be amended, suspended or terminated by our board of directors,” which are located on page 34 and page 36 of the prospectus, respectively.

There is no public market for our shares, and our stockholders may not be able to sell their shares under our share repurchase program and, if our stockholders are able to sell their shares under the program, they may not be able to recover the amount of their investment in our shares.

There is no established public market for our shares and no assurance that one may develop. Our charter does not require our directors to seek stockholder approval to liquidate our assets by a specified date, nor does our charter require our directors to list our shares for trading by a specified date. Our board does not anticipate evaluating a liquidity event, including a listing on a national securities exchange, until at least 2017. There is no assurance the board will pursue a listing or other liquidity event at that time or at any other time in the future. In addition, even if our board decides to seek a listing of our shares of common stock, there is no assurance that we will satisfy the listing requirements or that our shares will be approved for listing. Further, our charter limits any person or group from owning more than 9.8% in value of our outstanding stock or more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding common stock without prior approval of our board.

S-8
 

 

Moreover, our share repurchase program contains numerous restrictions that limit our stockholders' ability to sell their shares, including those relating to the number of shares of our common stock that we can repurchase at any time and limiting the funds we will use to repurchase shares pursuant to the program. Under the program, as may be amended from time to time, we may make ordinary repurchases, as defined in the plan, at the following prices:

 

  · 92.5% of the share price for stockholders who have owned their shares continuously for at least one year, but less than two years;
     
  · 95% of the share price for stockholders who have owned their shares continuously for at least two years, but less than three years;
     
  · 97.5% of the share price for stockholders who have owned their shares continuously for at least three years, but less than four years; and
     
  · 100% of the share price for stockholders who have owned their shares continuously for at least four years.

 

Additionally for exceptional repurchases, as defined in the plan, we may repurchase shares at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the share price. For purposes of our share repurchase program, “share price” has the following meaning:

 

  a) prior to the date that we first disclose through an applicable public filing an estimated value per share that is not based solely on the offering price of the shares in our most recent “best efforts” offering, referred to herein as the “valuation date,” the share price will be equal to the offering price of our shares in our most recent “best efforts” offering, which is referred to herein as the “offering price.” However, if we have sold properties or other assets and have made one or more special distributions to stockholders of all or a portion of the net proceeds from the sales, the share price prior to the valuation date will be equal to the offering price less the amount of net sale proceeds per share that constitute a return of capital distributed to stockholders as a result of the sales. Further, in the event that the stockholder requesting repurchase purchased his, her or its shares from us at a price that was less than the offering price, including at a discounted price through the DRP, the share price applicable to those shares prior to the valuation date will be equal to the per share price paid by that stockholder for those shares requested to be repurchased, further reduced, if applicable, by distributions of net sales proceeds, as set forth in the preceding sentence; and

  b) after the valuation date, the share price will be equal to the lesser of (1) the share price determined in paragraph (a) above or (2) the most recently disclosed estimated value per share, as determined by our board, our Business Manager or another firm that we have chosen for that purpose.

 

S-9
 

 

We may make ordinary repurchases only if we have sufficient funds available to complete the repurchase. In any given calendar month, we are authorized to use only the proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan during that month to make ordinary repurchases; provided that, if we have excess funds from our DRP during any particular month, we may, but are not obligated to, carry those excess funds to the subsequent calendar month for the purpose of making ordinary repurchases. Subject to funds being available, in the case of ordinary repurchases, we will limit the number of shares repurchased during any calendar year to 5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31st of the previous calendar year. In the event that we determine not to repurchase all of the shares presented during any month, including as a result of having insufficient funds or satisfying the 5% limit, to the extent we decide to repurchase shares, shares will be repurchased on a pro rata basis up to the limits described above. Any stockholder whose ordinary repurchase request has been partially accepted in a particular calendar month will have the remainder of his or her request included with all new repurchase requests we have received in the immediately following calendar month, unless he or she chooses to withdraw that request. Further, we have no obligation to repurchase shares if the repurchase would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency.

In the case of exceptional repurchases, we may repurchase shares upon the death of a stockholder who is a natural person, including shares held by the stockholder through a trust, or an IRA or other retirement or profit-sharing plan, after receiving a written request from (1) the estate of the stockholder, (2) the recipient of the shares through bequest or inheritance, even where the recipient has registered the shares in his or her own name or (3) in the case of the death of a settlor of a trust, the beneficiary of the trust, even where the beneficiary has registered the shares in his or her own name. We must, however, receive the written request within one year after the death of the stockholder. If spouses are joint registered holders of shares, the request to repurchase the shares may be made if either of the registered holders dies. If the stockholder is not a natural person, such as a partnership, corporation or other similar entity, the right to an exceptional repurchase upon death does not apply. We are authorized to use any funds to make exceptional repurchases. Further, the 5% limit described above will not apply to exceptional repurchases.

Moreover, our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend (in whole or in part), or terminate our share repurchase program. Further, our board reserves the right in its sole discretion to change the repurchase prices or reject any requests for repurchases. Any amendments to, or suspension or termination of, the share repurchase program may restrict or eliminate your ability to have us repurchase your shares and otherwise prevent you from liquidating your investment. Therefore, our stockholders may not have the opportunity to make a repurchase request prior to a potential termination of the share repurchase program and our stockholders may not be able to sell any of their shares of common stock back to us. As a result of these restrictions and circumstances, the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares should they require liquidity is significantly restricted. Moreover, if our stockholders do sell their shares of common stock back to us pursuant to the share repurchase program, they may be forced to do so at a discount to the purchase price such stockholders paid for their shares.

The following risk factor is inserted to the section captioned “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business.” which begins on page 37 of the prospectus.

We have incurred net losses on a U.S. GAAP basis for the period ended December 31, 2012.

We have incurred a net loss on a U.S. GAAP basis for the period ended December 31, 2012. Our losses can be attributed, in part, to startup costs and expenses incurred while we increased the size of our portfolio. In addition, depreciation and amortization reduced our net income on a U.S. GAAP basis. If we incur net losses in the future, our financial condition, operations, cash flow, and our ability to service our indebtedness and pay distributions to our stockholders may be materially and adversely affected. We are subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any business, including the risk that the value of an investor’s investment could decline substantially. We were formed in August 2011 and, as of December 31, 2012, had acquired 13 retail properties. We cannot assure you that, in the future, we will be profitable or that we will realize growth in the value of our assets.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “Our Business Manager is under no obligation, and may not agree, to continue to forgo or defer its business management fee,” which begins on page 37 of the prospectus.

Our Business Manager is under no obligation, and may not agree, to continue to forgo or defer its business management fee or any acquisition fee.

From time to time, IREIC or its affiliates have forgone or deferred a portion of certain fees due them from the other REITs previously sponsored by IREIC to ensure that the particular REIT generated sufficient cash from operating activities to pay distributions.  In addition, from time to time, IREIC or its affiliates have contributed monies to the other IREIC-sponsored REITs to fund distributions.  In each case, IREIC or its affiliates determined the amounts that would be forgone, deferred or contributed in its or their sole discretion.

Likewise, we may fund distributions from, among other things, advances or contributions from our Business Manager or IREIC or from the cash retained by us in the case that our Business Manager defers, accrues or waives all, or a portion, of its business management or acquisition fees, or waives its right to be reimbursed for certain expenses.  Neither our Business Manager nor IREIC has any obligation to provide us with advances or contributions, and our Business Manager is not obligated to defer, accrue or waive any portion of these fees or reimbursements.  Further, there is no assurance that any of these other sources will be available to fund distributions.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “Recent market disruptions may adversely impact many aspects of our operating results and operating condition,” which begins on page 38 of the prospectus.

Market disruptions may adversely impact many aspects of our operating results and operating condition.

The financial and real estate markets have undergone pervasive and fundamental disruptions in the last few years. The disruptions may have an adverse impact on the availability of credit to businesses generally, and real estate in particular, and could lead to weakening of the U.S. and global economies. The availability of debt financing secured by commercial real estate could decline as a result of tightened underwriting standards. Our business may be affected by market and economic challenges experienced by the U.S. economy or real estate industry as a whole or by the local economic conditions in the markets in which our real estate assets are located, including the dislocations in the credit markets and general global economic recession. Economic conditions may also impact the ability of certain of our tenants to satisfy rental payments under existing leases. Specifically, these conditions may have the following consequences:

 

S-11
 

  the financial condition of our tenants may be adversely affected, which may result in us having to reduce rental rates in order to retain the tenants;
     
  an increase in the number of bankruptcies or insolvency proceedings of our tenants and lease guarantors, which could delay our efforts to collect rent and any past due balances under the relevant leases and ultimately could preclude collection of these sums;
     
  credit spreads for major sources of capital may widen if stockholders demand higher risk premiums or interest rates could increase, due to inflationary expectations, resulting in an increased cost for debt financing;
     
  our ability to borrow on terms and conditions that we find acceptable may be limited, which could result in our assets generating lower overall economic returns and a reduced level of cash flow from what was anticipated at the time we acquired the asset, which could potentially impact our ability to make distributions to our stockholders, or pursue acquisition opportunities, among other things;
     
  a reduction in the amount of capital that is available to finance real estate, which, in turn, could lead to a decline in real estate values generally, slow real estate transaction activity, and reduce the loan to value ratio upon which lenders are willing to lend;
     
  the value of certain of our real estate assets may decrease below the amounts we pay for them, which would limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or to obtain debt financing secured by these assets and could reduce our ability to finance our business;
     
  the value and liquidity of short-term investments, if any, could be reduced as a result of the dislocation of the markets for our short-term investments and increased volatility in market rates for these investments or other factors; and
     
  one or more counterparties to derivative financial instruments that we may enter into could default on their obligations to us, or could fail, increasing the risk that we may not realize the benefits of these instruments.

 

For these and other reasons, we cannot assure you that we will be profitable or that we will realize growth in the value of our investments.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to pay distributions and invest in real estate assets,” which is located on page 40 of the prospectus.

The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to pay distributions and invest in real estate assets.

The Federal Insurance Deposit Corporation, or “FDIC,” generally only insures limited amounts per depositor per insured bank. Through 2013, the FDIC is insuring up to $250,000 per depositor per insured bank account. At December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents exceeding these federally insured levels. If the banking institutions in which we have deposited funds ultimately fails, we may lose our deposits over the federally insured levels. The loss of our deposits could reduce the amount of cash we have available to distribute or invest.

S-12
 

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “Economic conditions may adversely affect our income and we could be subject to risks associated with acquiring discounted real estate assets,” which is located on page 45 of the prospectus.

Economic conditions may adversely affect our income and we could be subject to risks associated with acquiring discounted real estate assets.

U.S. and international financial markets are volatile due to a combination of many factors, including decreasing real estate values, limited access to credit markets, higher fuel prices, less consumer spending and fears of a national and global recession. The effects of the current market dislocation may persist as financial institutions continue to restructure their business and capital structures. As a result, this economic downturn has reduced demand for space and removed support for rents and property values. Since we cannot predict when the real estate markets will recover, the value of any properties we acquire may decline if current market conditions persist or worsen.

In addition, we are subject to the risks generally incident to the ownership of real estate assets.  For example, even though we may purchase assets at a discount from historical cost or market value due to, among other things, substantial deferred maintenance, abandonment, undesirable location or market, or poorly structured financing of the real estate or debt instruments underlying the assets, there is no assurance that we will be able to overcome these factors. All of these factors could further decrease the value of real estate assets.

Further, irrespective of the instability the financial markets may have on the return produced by real estate assets, the evolving efforts to correct the instability make the valuation of these assets highly unpredictable. The fluctuation in market conditions makes judging the future performance of these assets difficult. The real estate assets we acquire may substantially decline in value, which would, among other things, negatively impact our ability to finance or refinance debt secured by these assets or earn positive returns on these assets, and may require us to write down or impair the value of these assets, which would have a negative impact on our results of operations and ability to pay or sustain distributions.

The following risk factor is inserted to the section captioned “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate,” which begins on page 44 of the prospectus.

We face significant competition in the leasing market, which may decrease or prevent increases in the occupancy and rental rates of our properties.

We own 13 properties located in four states. We compete with numerous developers, owners and operators of commercial properties, many of which own properties similar to, and in the same market areas as, our properties. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates, or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose existing or potential tenants and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we currently charge in order to attract new tenants and retain existing tenants when their leases expire. Also, if our competitors develop additional properties in locations near our properties, there may be increased competition for creditworthy tenants, which may require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise made.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “We will depend on tenants for the majority of our revenue from real property investments, and lease terminations or the exercise of any co-tenancy rights will adversely affect our operations,” which begins on page 45 of the prospectus.

We depend on tenants for the majority of our revenue from real property investments, and lease terminations or the exercise of any co-tenancy rights will adversely affect our operations.

Any defaults on lease payment obligations by a tenant will cause us to lose the revenue associated with the relevant lease.  If these defaults become significant, we will be forced to use other funds to make payments on the mortgage indebtedness secured by the impacted property to prevent a foreclosure action.  If a tenant defaults, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment.  In addition, if a tenant at a single-user facility, which has been designed or built primarily for a particular tenant or a specific type of use, fails to renew its lease or defaults on its lease obligations, we may not be able to release to a new tenant, if at all, without making substantial capital improvements or incurring other significant costs.

Further, with respect to any retail properties we acquire, we may enter into leases containing co-tenancy provisions. These provisions allow a tenant to exercise certain rights if, among other things, another tenant fails to open for business, delays its opening or ceases to operate, or if a percentage of the property’s gross leasable space or a particular portion of the property is not leased or subsequently becomes vacant. A tenant exercising co-tenancy rights may be able to stop paying rent, or reduce its rental payment, reduce its share or the amount of its payments of common area operating expenses and property taxes or cancel its lease.

The following risk factor is inserted to the section captioned “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate,” which begins on page 44 of the prospectus.

Certain of our tenants generated a significant portion of our revenue, and rental payment defaults by this significant tenant could adversely affect our results of operations.

As of December 31, 2012, approximately 47.4%, 40.0% and 12.6% of our consolidated annualized base rental revenue was generated from leases with Dolgencorp, LLC, a subsidiary of Dollar General Corporation, L.A. Fitness and Sam’s Club, respectively. Dollar General Corporation has guaranteed all rents and other sums due under each lease with Dolgencorp, LLC in the event that Dolgencorp, LLC defaults. As a result of the concentration of revenue generated from these properties, if any of these tenants were to cease paying rent or fulfilling their other monetary obligations, or if Dollar General Corporation did not fulfill its obligations under the guarantee, we could have significantly reduced rental revenues or higher expenses until the default was cured or the properties were leased to a new tenant or tenants. In addition, there is no assurance that the properties could be re-leased on similar or better terms, if at all.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “Our real estate investments may include single-tenant properties that may be difficult to sell or re-lease upon tenant defaults or early lease terminations,” which is located on page 47 of the prospectus.

The majority of our real estate investments may include single-tenant properties that may be difficult to sell or re-lease upon tenant defaults or early lease terminations.

As of December 31, 2012, 92% of our properties were single-tenant properties. Single-tenant properties are relatively illiquid compared to other types of real estate and financial assets, which will further limit our ability to quickly change our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. With these properties, if the current lease is terminated or not renewed, we may be required to renovate the property or to make rent concessions in order to lease the property to another tenant or sell the property. Moreover, as the current lease nears expiration, it may be difficult to sell the property on terms and conditions that we consider favorable, if at all.  In addition, in the event we are forced to sell the property, we may have difficulty selling it to a party other than the tenant or borrower unless we make substantial capital investments.

S-14
 

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “Acquiring or attempting to acquire multiple properties in a single transaction may adversely affect our operations,” which is located on page 47 of the prospectus.

Acquiring or attempting to acquire multiple properties in a single transaction may adversely affect our operations.

From time to time, we have acquired multiple properties in a single transaction. Portfolio acquisitions typically are more complex and expensive than single property acquisitions, and the risk that a multiple-property acquisition does not close may be greater than in a single-property acquisition. Portfolio acquisitions may also result in us owning investments in geographically dispersed markets, placing additional demands on our Business Manager and Real Estate Managers in managing the properties in the portfolio. In addition, a seller may require that a group of properties be purchased as a package even though we may not want to purchase one or more properties in the portfolio. In these situations, if we are unable to identify another person or entity to acquire the unwanted properties, we may be required to operate or attempt to dispose of these properties.  We also may be required to accumulate a large amount of cash to fund such acquisitions. We would expect the returns that we earn on such cash to be less than the returns on real property.  Therefore, acquiring multiple properties in a single transaction may reduce the overall yield on our portfolio.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “We will depend on the availability of public utilities and services, especially for water and electric power. Any reduction, interruption or cancellation of these services may adversely affect us,” which is located on page 48 of the prospectus.

We depend on the availability of public utilities and services, especially for water and electric power. Any reduction, interruption or cancellation of these services may adversely affect us.

Public utilities, especially those that provide water and electric power, are fundamental for the sound operation of our assets. The delayed delivery or any material reduction or prolonged interruption of these services could allow certain tenants to terminate their leases or result in an increase in our costs, as we may be forced to use backup generators, which also could be insufficient to fully operate our facilities and could result in our inability to provide services. Accordingly, any interruption or limitation in the provision of these essential services may adversely affect us.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “Borrowings may reduce the funds available for distribution and increase the risk of loss since defaults may cause us to lose the properties securing the loans,” which is located on page 53 of the prospectus.

Borrowings may reduce the funds available for distribution and increase the risk of loss since defaults may cause us to lose the properties securing the loans.

We have acquired properties by borrowing new monies in an amount equal to the fair market value of the acquired properties and in some cases with maturity dates within the next twelve months and we may, in some instances, acquire properties by assuming existing financing. We may also borrow money for other purposes to, among other things, satisfy the requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our “REIT annual taxable income,” subject to certain adjustments, or as is otherwise necessary or advisable to assure that we continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Over the long term, however, payments required on any amounts we borrow reduce the funds available for, among other things, acquisitions, capital expenditures for existing properties or distributions to our stockholders because cash otherwise available for these purposes is used to pay principal and interest on this debt.

S-15
 

 

If there is a shortfall between the cash flow from a property and the cash flow needed to service mortgage debt on a property, then the amount of cash flow from operations available for distributions to stockholders may be reduced. In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss since defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in lenders initiating foreclosure actions. In such a case, we could lose the property securing the loan that is in default, thus reducing the value of your investment. For tax purposes, a foreclosure is treated as a sale of the property or properties for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the property or properties. If the outstanding balance of the debt exceeds our tax basis in the property or properties, we would recognize taxable gain on the foreclosure action and we would not receive any cash proceeds. We also may fully or partially guarantee any monies that subsidiaries borrow to purchase or operate properties. In these cases, we will likely be responsible to the lender for repaying the loans if the subsidiary is unable to do so. If any mortgage contains cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, more than one property may be affected by a default.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “Lenders may restrict certain aspects of our operations,” which is located on page 54 of the prospectus.

Our loan documents may restrict certain aspects of our operations, which could, among other things, limit our ability to make distributions to you.

The terms and conditions contained in certain of our loan documents, including the loan documents for Dollar General Properties (Phase I), Dollar General Properties (Phase II) and Newington Fair Shopping Center, may require us to maintain cash reserves, limit the aggregate amount we may borrow on a secured and unsecured basis, require us to satisfy restrictive financial covenants, prevent us from entering into certain business transactions, such as a merger, sale of assets or other business combination, restrict our leasing operations, require us to obtain consent from the lender to complete transactions or make investments that are ordinarily approved only by our board of directors or impose limits on our ability to pay distributions. In addition, secured lenders may restrict our ability to discontinue insurance coverage on a mortgaged property even though we may believe that the insurance premiums paid to insure against certain losses, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters, are greater than the potential risk of loss. See “Description of Real Estate Assets — Financing Transactions” for more detailed information about these loan documents.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “We may acquire or finance properties with lock-out provisions, which may prohibit us from selling a property, or may require us to maintain specified debt levels for a period of years on some properties,” which is located on page 54 of the prospectus.

We may acquire or finance properties with lock-out provisions, which may prohibit us from selling a property, or may require us to maintain specified debt levels for a period of years on some properties.

The terms and conditions contained in certain of our loan documents, including the loan documents for Dollar General Properties (Phase I), Dollar General Properties (Phase II) and Newington Fair Shopping Center, may preclude us from pre-paying the principal amount of the loan or could restrict us from selling or otherwise disposing of or refinancing properties. For example, lock-out provisions may prohibit us from reducing the outstanding indebtedness secured by certain of our properties, refinancing this indebtedness on a non-recourse basis at maturity, or increasing the amount of indebtedness secured by our properties. Lock-out provisions could impair our ability to take other actions during the lock-out period. In particular, lock-out provisions could preclude us from participating in major transactions that could result in a disposition of our assets or a change in control even though that disposition or change in control might be in the best interests of our stockholders. See “Description of Real Estate Assets — Financing Transactions” for more detailed information about these loan documents.

The following risk factor is inserted to the section captioned “Risk Factors — Risks Associated with Debt Financing,” which begins on page 53 of the prospectus.

Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

We have borrowed money, which bears interest at variable rates, and therefore are exposed to increases in costs in a rising interest rate environment. Increases in interest rates would increase our interest expense on any variable rate debt, as well as any debt that must be refinanced at higher interest rates at the time of maturity. Our future earnings and cash flows could be adversely affected due to the increased requirement to service our debt and could reduce the amount we are able to distribute to our stockholders. As of December 31, 2012, we had $14,448,497 or 44% of our total debt that bore interest at variable rates, of which $4,658,497 matures in 2013.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “To hedge against interest rate fluctuations, we may use derivative financial instruments that may be costly and ineffective,” which is located on page 55 of the prospectus.

To hedge against interest rate fluctuations, we may use derivative financial instruments that may be costly and ineffective.

From time to time, we may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets. Derivative instruments may include interest rate swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, options or repurchase agreements. Our actual hedging decisions will be determined in light of the facts and circumstances existing at the time of the hedge and may differ from our currently anticipated hedging strategy.  There is no assurance that our hedging strategy will achieve our objectives.  We may be subject to costs, such as transaction fees or breakage costs, if we terminate these arrangements.

To the extent that we use derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate fluctuations, we will be exposed to credit risk, basis risk and legal enforceability risks. In this context, credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. Basis risk occurs when the index upon which the contract is based is more or less variable than the index upon which the hedged asset or liability is based, thereby making the hedge less effective. Finally, legal enforceability risks encompass general contractual risks including the risk that the counterparty will breach the terms of, or fail to perform its obligations under, the derivative contract, increasing the risk that we may not realize the benefits of these instruments.  As a result of the global credit crisis, there is a risk that counterparties could fail, shut down, file for bankruptcy or be unable to pay out contracts. The failure of a counterparty that holds collateral that we post in connection with an interest rate swap agreement could result in the loss of that collateral.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “If we fail to qualify as a REIT, our operations and distributions to stockholders will be adversely affected.” which begins on page 60 of the prospectus.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT, our operations and distributions to stockholders will be adversely affected.

In connection with this offering, Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. rendered an opinion to us that we will be organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for our taxable year ending December 31, 2012 or our first year of material operations and that our proposed method of operations, as described in this prospectus, will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ending December 31, 2012 or our first year of material operations.  In providing its opinion, Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. relied, as to certain factual matters, upon the statements and representations contained in certificates provided by us.  These certificates included representations regarding the manner in which we are and will be owned, the nature of our assets and the past, present and future conduct of our operations.  Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. did not independently verify, and will not verify, these facts.  Moreover, our qualification for taxation as a REIT depends on our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, the results of which have not been, and will not be, reviewed by Shefsky & Froelich Ltd. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the actual results of our operations for any one taxable year will satisfy these requirements. Moreover, an opinion of counsel is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, and we cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service will not successfully challenge our status as a REIT.  Our first year of material operations is 2013. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex rules related to, among other things, the composition of our assets, the income generated by those assets and distributions paid to our stockholders. There are limited judicial or administrative interpretations regarding these rules. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT. In addition, new legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could significantly change the tax laws with respect to qualifying as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of qualification.

If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT, without the benefit of certain relief provisions, in any taxable year:

S-18
 

 

  we would not be allowed to deduct distributions paid to stockholders when computing our taxable income;
     
  we would be subject to federal (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and state income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates;
     
  we would be disqualified from being taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we failed to qualify, unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions;
     
  we would have less cash to pay distributions to stockholders; and
     
  we may be required to borrow additional funds or sell some of our assets in order to pay corporate tax obligations we may incur as a result of being disqualified.

 

In addition, if we were to fail to qualify as a REIT, we would not be required to pay distributions to stockholders, and all distributions to stockholders that we did pay would be subject to tax as regular corporate dividends to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits.  This means that our U.S. stockholders who are taxed as individuals generally would be taxed on our dividends at long-term capital gains rates and that our corporate stockholders would be entitled to the dividends received deduction with respect to such dividends, subject, in each case, to applicable limitations under the Code.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “The taxation of distributions to our stockholders can be complex; however, distributions that we make to our stockholders generally will be taxable as ordinary income,” which is located on page 61 of the prospectus.

The taxation of distributions to our stockholders can be complex; however, distributions that we make to our stockholders generally will be taxable as ordinary income.

Distributions that we make to our taxable stockholders out of current and accumulated earnings and profits (and not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income) generally will be taxable as ordinary income. However, a portion of our distributions may: (1) be designated by us as capital gain dividends generally taxable as long-term capital gain to the extent that they are attributable to net capital gain recognized by us; (2) be designated by us as qualified dividend income generally to the extent they are attributable to dividends we receive from any taxable REIT subsidiaries or certain other taxable C corporations in which we own shares of stock; or (3) constitute a return of capital generally to the extent that they exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A return of capital is not taxable, but has the effect of reducing the basis of a stockholder’s investment in our common stock.  Distributions that exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits and a stockholder’s basis in our common stock generally will be taxable as capital gain.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “Certain of our business activities are potentially subject to the prohibited transaction tax,” which begins on page 62 of the prospectus.

Certain of our business activities are potentially subject to the prohibited transaction tax.

Our ability to dispose of property during the first two years following acquisition is restricted to a substantial extent as a result of our REIT status. Under applicable provisions of the Code regarding prohibited transactions by REITs, we will be subject to a 100% tax on any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of any property (other than foreclosure property) we own, directly or through any wholly owned subsidiary (or entity in which we are treated as a partner), excluding our taxable REIT subsidiaries, that is deemed to be inventory or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of trade or business. Determining whether property is inventory or otherwise held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business depends on the particular facts and circumstances surrounding each property. We cannot provide assurance that any particular property we own, directly or through any wholly owned subsidiary (or entity in which we are treated as a partner), excluding our taxable REIT subsidiaries, will not be treated as inventory or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business.  The Code sets forth a safe harbor for REITs that wish to sell property without risking the imposition of the 100% tax; however there is no assurance that we will be able to qualify for the safe harbor.  Even if we do not hold property for sale in the ordinary course of a trade or business, there is no assurance that our position will not be challenged by the Internal Revenue Service, especially if we make frequent sales or sales of property in which we have short holding periods.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “Complying with the REIT requirements may force us to liquidate otherwise attractive investments,” which is located on page 63 of the prospectus.

Complying with the REIT requirements may force us to liquidate otherwise attractive investments.

To qualify as a REIT, we must ensure that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, certain government securities and qualified real estate assets, including shares of stock in other REITs, certain mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. The remainder of our investment in securities (other than qualified government securities, qualified real estate assets and taxable REIT subsidiaries) generally may not include more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our assets (other than qualified government securities, qualified real estate assets and taxable REIT subsidiaries) may consist of the securities of any one issuer, and no more than 25% of the value of our total assets may be securities (including securities issued by our taxable REIT subsidiaries), excluding government securities, stock issued by our qualified REIT subsidiaries and other securities that qualify as REIT real estate assets. In order to meet these tests, we may be required to forego investments we might otherwise make. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our performance.

If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct the failure within thirty days after the end of the calendar quarter, or otherwise qualify to cure the failure under a relief provision, to avoid losing our REIT status and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be required to liquidate otherwise attractive investments.

The risk factor captioned “Recharacterization of sale-leaseback transactions may cause us to lose our REIT status,” which begins on page 63 of the prospectus, is deleted in its entirety.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “Our ability to dispose of some of our properties may be constrained by their tax attributes,” which is located on page 64 of the prospectus.

Our ability to dispose of some of our properties may be constrained by their tax attributes.

Federal tax laws may limit our ability to sell properties and this may affect our ability to sell properties without adversely affecting returns to our stockholders. These restrictions may reduce our ability to respond to changes in the performance of our investments.

Our ability to dispose of some of our properties is constrained by their tax attributes. Properties which we own for a significant period of time often have low tax bases. If we dispose of low-basis properties outright in taxable transactions, we may recognize a significant amount of taxable gain that we must distribute to our stockholders in order to avoid tax, and potentially, if the gain does not qualify as a net capital gain, in order to meet the minimum distribution requirements of the Code for REITs, which in turn would impact our cash flow. To dispose of low basis or tax-protected properties efficiently we may use like-kind exchanges, which qualify for non-recognition of taxable gain, but can be difficult to consummate and result in the property for which the disposed assets are exchanged inheriting their low tax bases and other tax attributes (including tax protection covenants).

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “In certain circumstances, we may be subject to federal, state and local income taxes as a REIT,” which begins on located on page 64 of the prospectus.

In certain circumstances, we may be subject to federal, state and local income taxes as a REIT.

Even if we qualify and maintain our status as a REIT, we may become subject to federal, state and local income taxes.  For example:

 

  We will be subject to tax on any undistributed income.  We also will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions we pay in any calendar year plus amounts retained for which federal income tax was paid are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years.
     
  If we have net income from the sale of foreclosure property that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business or other non-qualifying income from foreclosure property, we must pay a tax on that income at the highest corporate income tax rate.
     
  If we sell a property, other than foreclosure property, that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, our gain would be subject to the 100% “prohibited transaction” tax.
     
  We will be subject to a 100% penalty tax on certain amounts if the economic arrangements of our tenants, our taxable REIT subsidiaries and us are not comparable to similar arrangements among unrelated parties.

 

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively,” which is located on page 65 of the prospectus.

Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively.

The REIT provisions of the Code may limit our ability to hedge the risks inherent to our operations. Under current law, any income that we generate from derivatives or other transactions intended to hedge our interest rate risk with respect to borrowings made, or to be made, to acquire or carry real estate assets generally will not constitute gross income for purposes of the 75% and 95% income requirements applicable to REITs.  In addition, any income from certain other qualified hedging transactions would generally not constitute gross income for purposes of both the 75% and 95% income tests.  However, we may be required to limit the use of hedging techniques that might otherwise be advantageous, which could result in greater risks associated with interest rate or other changes than we would otherwise incur.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “Legislative or regulatory action could adversely affect investors,” which is located on page 65 of the prospectus.

Legislative or regulatory action could adversely affect investors.

Changes to the tax laws are likely to occur, and these changes may adversely affect the taxation of a stockholder. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our shares or on the market value or the resale potential of our assets. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisor with respect to the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our shares.

The maximum tax rate on qualified dividends paid by corporations to individuals is 20%. REIT dividends, however, generally do not constitute qualified dividends and consequently are not eligible for the current reduced tax rates. Therefore, our stockholders will pay federal income tax on distributions out of our current and accumulated earnings and profits (excluding distributions of amounts either subject to corporate-level taxation or designated as a capital gain dividend) at the applicable “ordinary income” rate, the maximum of which is 39.6%. In addition this income also may be subject to the 3.8% Medicare surtax on certain investment income. However, as a REIT, we generally would not be subject to federal or state corporate income taxes on that portion of our ordinary income or capital gain that we distribute currently to our stockholders, and we thus expect to avoid the “double taxation” to which other corporations are typically subject.

S-21
 

Future legislation might result in a REIT having fewer tax advantages, and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to be taxed, for federal income tax purposes, as a corporation. As a result, our charter provides our board of directors with the power, under certain circumstances, to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election and cause us to be taxed as a corporation, without the vote of our stockholders. Our board of directors has fiduciary duties to us and our stockholders and could only cause changes in our tax treatment if it determines in good faith that such changes are in the best interest of our stockholders.

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the risk factor captioned “Investors subject to ERISA must address special considerations when determining whether to acquire our common stock,” which begins on page 65 of the prospectus.

Investors subject to ERISA must address special considerations when determining whether to acquire our common stock.

Fiduciaries of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or “ERISA,” should consider whether investing in our common stock: is subject to the “plan assets” rules under ERISA and the Code; satisfies the fiduciary standards of care established under ERISA; is subject to the unrelated business taxation rules under Section 511 of the Code; or constitutes a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code.

We intend to satisfy the “real estate operating company” exception to the plan assets regulations promulgated pursuant to ERISA. Consequently, our assets should not be treated as plan assets of an investing plan subject to ERISA. We cannot assure you, however, that this exception will apply to our assets and, if not, our assets may be treated as plan assets of an investing plan subject to ERISA. Failure to satisfy the fiduciary standards of conduct and other applicable requirements of ERISA and the Code may result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties and could subject the fiduciary to equitable remedies. In addition, if an investment in our shares constitutes a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code, the fiduciary that authorized or directed the investment may be subject to the imposition of excise taxes with respect to the amount invested.

Prior Performance of IREIC Affiliates

The following disclosure supersedes and replaces the section of our prospectus captioned “Prior Performance of IREIC Affiliates,” which begins on page 78 of the prospectus.

During the ten year period ended December 31, 2012, IREIC and its affiliates sponsored four other REITs, 120 real estate exchange private placement limited partnerships and limited liability companies, which altogether have raised more than $18.0 billion from over 341,000 investors in offerings for which Inland Securities has served as dealer manager. During that period, IRRETI, RPAI, Inland American and Inland Diversified raised approximately $16.1 billion from over 337,000 investors. These REITs have investment objectives similar to ours in that they seek to invest in real estate that produces both current income and long-term capital appreciation for stockholders. The monies raised by IREIC-sponsored REITs, as well as IRC and IRRETI, two additional REITs sponsored by IREIC prior to this ten year period, represent approximately 95% of the aggregate amount raised in offerings for which Inland Securities has served as dealer manager, approximately 99% of the aggregate number of investors, approximately 95% of properties purchased and approximately 93% of the aggregate cost of the properties purchased by the prior programs sponsored by IREIC and its affiliates.

Inland Private Capital Corporation, or “IPCC,” offers real estate exchange transactions, on a private placement basis, designed, among other things, to provide replacement properties for persons wishing to complete an IRS Section 1031 real estate exchange. Thus, these private placement programs do not have investment objectives similar to ours. However, these private placement programs have owned real estate assets similar to those that we may seek to acquire, including industrial/distribution buildings, shopping centers, office buildings and other retail buildings.

We pay fees to, and reimburse expenses incurred by, Inland Securities and our Business Manager, Real Estate Managers, TIREG and their affiliates, as described in more detail in the section of this prospectus captioned “Prospectus Summary — Compensation Paid to Affiliates of IREIC.” The other five REITs previously sponsored by IREIC have similarly compensated IREIC and each of their respective business managers, real estate managers and affiliates. The private placement programs sponsored by IPCC and IREIC pay some of the same types of fees and expenses that we pay, such as selling commissions, marketing contributions, bona fide due diligence expenses, business management fees and real estate management fees. However, because the business conducted by, and the underlying investment objectives of, these private placement programs are substantially different than our business and investment objectives, other fees and expenses paid by the private placement programs are not directly comparable to ours.

The following discussion and the Prior Performance Tables, included in this prospectus as Appendix A, provide information on the prior performance of the real estate programs sponsored by IREIC and IPCC. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. With respect to the disclosures set forth herein, we have provided information for IRRETI only through September 30, 2006. On February 27, 2007, all of the outstanding common stock of IRRETI was acquired in a merger with Developers Diversified Realty Corporation (“DDR”). Pursuant to the merger agreement, DDR acquired IRRETI for a total merger consideration of $14.00 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends for the month of February 2007 in cash, prorated in accordance with the agreement. DDR elected to pay the merger consideration to the IRRETI stockholders through a combination of $12.50 in cash and $1.50 in common shares of DDR, which equated to a 0.021569 common share of DDR. The transaction had a total enterprise value of approximately $6.2 billion. No further information regarding IRRETI following completion of the merger is available.

Summary Information

The following table provides summarized information concerning prior programs sponsored by IREIC or its affiliates, with the exception of IRRETI, for the ten year period ending December 31, 2012, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the introductory discussion above and the detailed information appearing in the Prior Performance Tables in Appendix A. With respect to IRRETI, information is presented for the ten year period ended September 30, 2006. This information set forth in this table, and in the narrative that follows, represents capital raised by these prior programs only through offerings for which Inland Securities has served as dealer manager and, where noted, through their respective distribution reinvestment plans.

All information regarding the REITs previously sponsored by IREIC has been taken from, or derived from, the public filings by these entities. We are unable to verify or assess the reliability, accuracy or completeness of any of the information related to the other IREIC-sponsored REITs. Information regarding the other IREIC-sponsored REITs may contain inaccuracies or omissions, or may have been prepared using a methodology different from the methodology we used when compiling data regarding the prior performance of other programs sponsored by our sponsor. Specifically, like IRC, RPAI, although previously sponsored by IREIC, is no longer managed by affiliates of our Business Manager. Unlike IRC, RPAI has terminated various service agreements with The Inland Group and its affiliates. Specifically, during the second quarter of 2012, RPAI terminated its investment advisor agreement, and, as of December 31, 2012, RPAI had terminated the following agreements: loan servicing; mortgage financing services; communications services; institutional investor relationships services; insurance and risk management services; property tax services; computer services; and personnel services.

WE ARE NOT, BY INCLUDING THESE TABLES, IMPLYING THAT WE WILL HAVE RESULTS COMPARABLE TO THOSE REFLECTED IN THE TABLES BECAUSE OUR YIELD ON INVESTMENTS, CASH AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION AND OTHER FACTORS MAY BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT. ACQUIRING OUR SHARES WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANY INTEREST IN ANY PRIOR PROGRAM.

Publicly Registered REITs

The information set forth below regarding IRC, RPAI, Inland American, Inland Diversified and IRRETI is derived from the reports filed by these entities with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act, including without limitation any Current Reports on Form 8-K and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed by IRC on February 28, 2013 (referred to herein as the “IRC 10-K”), the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed by RPAI on February 20, 2013 referred to herein as the “RPAI 10-K”), the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed by Inland American on March 13, 2013 (referred to herein as the “American 10-K”) and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed by Inland Diversified on March 13, 2013 (referred to herein as the “Diversified 10-K”).

Inland Real Estate Corporation is a self-administered REIT formed in May 1994. IRC’s shares have been listed on the NYSE under the ticker “IRC” since June 9, 2004. IRC owns, operates and develops, directly or through its unconsolidated entities, open-air neighborhood, community and power shopping centers and single-tenant retail properties located in Midwest markets. As of December 31, 2012, in the aggregate, the properties owned by IRC were generating sufficient cash flow to pay operating expenses, monthly debt service requirements and current distributions.

As of December 31, 2012, IRC owned interests in 157 investment properties, including those owned through unconsolidated joint ventures but not including development joint venture properties. These properties were purchased in part with the net proceeds received from the offerings of shares of its common stock, borrowings secured by its properties, draws on its line of credit or sales proceeds from previous sales of properties. As of December 31, 2012, IRC had total debt of approximately $746.6 million (excluding unconsolidated joint venture debt). Approximately $412.4 million of this debt is secured by IRC’s properties. The remaining $334.2 million is comprised of unsecured debt, reflecting draws on IRC’s line of credit and borrowings under two term loans and the face value of IRC convertible notes.

On April 10, 2013, the closing price of the IRC common stock on the NYSE was $10.53 per share.

Investor Update. IRC currently pays monthly distributions. For 2012, IRC paid monthly distributions equal to $0.0475 per common share and monthly cash dividends to preferred stockholders equal to $0.169271 per share on the outstanding shares of its 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. IRC has stated that future distributions will be determined by its board of directors, and that it expects to continue paying distributions to maintain its status as a REIT.

Capital Raise. Through a total of four public offerings for which Inland Securities served as dealer manager, the last of which was completed in 1998, IRC sold a total of 51.6 million shares of common stock. Through December 31, 2012, IRC had issued approximately 18.2 million shares of common stock through its dividend reinvestment plan and repurchased approximately 5.3 million shares of common stock through its share repurchase program, which was terminated in 2004. Further, in May 2009, IRC completed an underwritten equity offering of approximately 17.1 million shares of common stock at a price of $6.50 per share. Net of underwriting fees, the offering generated net proceeds of approximately $106.4 million, excluding offering costs. On November 10, 2009, IRC entered into a Sales Agency Agreement with BMO Capital Markets Corp. (“BMO”) to offer and sell up to $100 million in shares of its common stock from time to time through BMO, acting as sales agent, where the agreement expired on November 9, 2012. On November 16, 2012, IRC entered into a new Sales Agency Agreement with BMO, Jefferies & Company, Inc. (“Jefferies”) and KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. (“KBCM”) to offer and sell up to $150 million in shares of its common stock from time to time through BMO, Jefferies and KBCM, acting, collectively, as sales agents. As of December 31, 2012, IRC had issued an aggregate of approximately 3,816 shares of its common stock, generating net proceeds of approximately $31,691, comprised of approximately $32,504 in gross proceeds, offset by approximately $813 in commissions and fees. As a result of all common stock offerings, as of December 31, 2012, IRC had realized total net offering proceeds of approximately $847.1 million.

S-27
 

In addition, in October 2011, IRC issued two million shares of 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at a public offering price of $25.00 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $48.4 million, after deducting the underwriting discount but before expenses. The proceeds were used to acquire investment properties. In February 2012, IRC issued an additional 2.4 million shares of 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at a public offering price of $25.3906 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $59.0 million, after deducting the underwriting discount but before expenses. IRC used the net proceeds of the offering to acquire additional investment properties.

In November 2006, IRC issued $180.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.625% convertible senior notes due in 2026. Through this private placement, IRC received net proceeds of approximately $177.3 million after deducting selling discounts and commissions. Through a tender/exchange offer that expired August 5, 2010, IRC purchased for cash $15.0 million of the $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes, and exchanged $29.2 million of the notes for a new series of 5.0% convertible senior notes due 2029. During the year ended December 31, 2011, IRC repurchased the outstanding 2026 notes pursuant to their terms. As of December 31, 2012, a total of $29.2 million in principal face amount of the 2029 notes remained outstanding.

Portfolio Update. IRC reported in the IRC 10-K that during the year ended December 31, 2012, IRC executed forty-eight new, one hundred sixty-eight renewal and fifty-three non-comparable leases (expansion square footage or spaces for which no former tenant was in place for one year or more), aggregating approximately 1,047,000 square feet of IRC’s consolidated portfolio. The forty-eight new leases comprise approximately 260,000 square feet with an average rental rate of $14.09 per square foot, a 19.7% increase over the average expiring rate. The one hundred sixty-eight renewal leases comprise approximately 571,000 square feet with an average rental rate of $15.93 per square foot, an 8.6% increase over the average expiring rate. The fifty-three non-comparable leases comprise approximately 216,000 square feet with an average base rent of $13.03 per square foot. IRC clarified that the calculations of former and new average base rents are adjusted for rent abatements. IRC stated in the IRC 10-K that, for leases signed during the prior twenty-four months, the average leasing commission was approximately $5.00 per square foot, the average cost for tenant improvements was approximately $20.00 per square foot and the average period given for rent concessions was three to five months. Leasing commission, tenant improvement costs and average rent concession periods in leases signed during the year ended December 31, 2012 are consistent with these 24-month averages.

According to the IRC 10-K, during 2013, one hundred thirty-four leases, comprising approximately 684,000 square feet and accounting for approximately 7.1% of its annualized base rent, will be expiring in IRC’s consolidated portfolio. IRC reported that none of the expiring leases is deemed to be material to IRC’s financial results. The weighted average expiring rate on these leases is $12.09 per square foot. IRC reported that it will continue to attempt to renew expiring leases and re-lease those spaces that are vacant, or may become vacant, at more favorable rental rates to increase revenue and cash flow.

IRC reported in the IRC 10-K, that the scheduled maturities for IRC’s outstanding mortgage indebtedness had various maturity dates through January 2023.

Impairments. The impairments recorded by IRC for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, are explained in more detail below.

S-28
 

Investment Properties. IRC recorded approximately $0.7 million and $2.8 million of impairment charges, each related to three consolidated investment properties, during the year ended December 31, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, respectively.

Marketable Securities. At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, investment in securities included approximately $8.7 million and $12.1 million, respectively, consisting of preferred and common stock investments. During the year ended December 31, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, IRC had recorded an accumulated net unrealized gain of approximately $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and had realized gains on sales of securities of approximately $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. No impairment losses on IRC’s portfolio of marketable securities were required or recorded for the year ended December 31, 2012 or the year ended December 31, 2011.

Joint Ventures. No impairment adjustments were required or recorded during the year ended December 31, 2012. The total impairment loss recorded during the year ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $17.4 million at the joint venture level, and IRC’s pro rata share of this loss was equal to approximately $7.8 million.

Sale of Assets. During the year ended December 31, 2012, IRC sold six investment properties, for total sales proceeds, net of closing costs, equal to approximately $18.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2012, IRC recorded income from discontinued operations of $3.3 million. Three of the properties sold during the year ended December 31, 2012 were sold at prices below their current carrying value and as a result, a provision for asset impairment totaling approximately $0.7 million was recorded during the period. See also “Appendix A – Table V” for additional information regarding IRC’s sales.

Merger to Become Self-Administered. On July 1, 2000, IRC became a self-administered REIT by acquiring, through merger, Inland Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc., its advisor, and Inland Commercial Property Management, Inc., its property manager. As a result of the merger, IREIC, the sole stockholder of the advisor, and The Inland Property Management Group, Inc., the sole stockholder of its property manager, received an aggregate of approximately 6.2 million shares of IRC’s common stock valued at $11.00 per share, or approximately 10% of its common stock at the time of the transaction.

Current Litigation. IRC reported in the IRC 10-K, that its wholly-owned subsidiary IN Retail Fund Algonquin Commons, L.L.C which owns the property commonly known as Algonquin Commons, ceased paying the monthly debt service on the mortgage loans secured by the property in June 2012. IRC disclosed that it hoped to reach an agreement with the special servicer that would have revised the loan structure to make continued ownership of the property economically feasible. Per the IRC 10-K, the property has not been generating sufficient cash flow to pay both principal and interest on the outstanding mortgage indebtedness due to vacancies and certain co-tenancy lease provisions that allowed some tenants to reduce their monthly rent obligations. The special servicer attempted to sell the loans in an auction but, refused to accept IRC’s bid, which IRC believes was the highest bid received by the special servicer and declined to sell the loans to any other bidder.

Algonquin Commons is encumbered by mortgage indebtedness in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $90,000. As of the date of the IRC 10-K, the amount in arrears, equal to unpaid principal and interest is approximately $4,900. In connection with IRC’s acquisition of the property, IRC assumed the guarantee, equal to approximately $18,600 at December 31, 2012, of the total mortgage indebtedness (the “Payment Guaranty”). IRC believes that the Payment Guaranty has, however, ceased and is of no further force and effect as a result of the property having met the performance metrics set forth in the Payment Guaranty. IRC believes that the total indebtedness is otherwise non-recourse, subject to certain non-recourse carve-out guarantees.

On January 11, 2013, IRC received notice that a complaint had been filed in the Circuit Court of the Sixteenth Judicial District, Kane County, Illinois (Case #13CH12) by U.S. Bank National Association, as successor trustee for the registered holders of TIAA Seasoned Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-C4, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-C4 regarding Algonquin Commons, alleging events of default under the loan documents and seeking to foreclose on the property. The complaint also seeks to enforce two non-recourse carve-out guarantees, the Payment Guaranty and an unspecified amount to be determined by the court with respect to the non-recourse carve-out guarantees.

IRC disclosed in the IRC 10-K, that it cannot currently estimate the impact this dispute will have on its consolidated financial statements and may not be able to do so until a final outcome has been reached. As IRC had disclosed in a previous filing, if IRC is required to pay the full amount outstanding under the Payment Guaranty, then making that payment could have a material adverse effect on IRC’s consolidated statements of cash flows for the period and the year in which it would be made. IRC disclosed in the IRC 10-K, that it believes that this payment would not have a material effect on its consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. If the lender obtains ownership of Algonquin Commons through the foreclosure process or otherwise, there would be a corresponding reduction in both the assets and liabilities on IRC’s consolidated balance sheets and it could have a material adverse effect on IRC’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the period and the year in which IRC culminates disposal of the property and related debt. Conservatively, if IRC has to make payment under the Payment Guaranty, IRC disclosed that it believes that the effect of a foreclosure and release on its consolidated balance sheets will result in an improvement in certain financial ratios, and the collective effect of the payment, foreclosure and release will be neutral to IRC’s Funds From Operations.

Also on April 5, 2012, RPAI’s Class A Common Stock began trading on the NYSE under the symbol “RPAI.” On April 10, 2013, the closing price of the RPAI Class A Common Stock on the NYSE was $14.69 per share (which, without giving effect to the reverse stock split or stock dividend, is equivalent to $5.88 per share of its common stock).

In addition, on December 11, 2012, RPAI announced that it entered into an underwriting agreement, with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representatives of the other underwriters named therein, for the sale of 5,000,000 shares of 7.00% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of RPAI.

Current Litigation. In the RPAI 10-K, RPAI announced that, in 2012, certain stockholders of RPAI stock had filed putative class action lawsuits against RPAI and certain of its officers and directors , which are currently pending in the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Illinois. The RPAI 10-K states that the lawsuits allege, among other things, that RPAI and its directors and officers breached their fiduciary duties to RPAI’s stockholders and, as a result, unjustly enriched RPAI and the individual defendants. The RPAI 10-K states that the lawsuits further allege that the breaches of fiduciary duty led certain RPAI stockholders to acquire additional stock and caused RPAI’s stockholders to suffer a loss in share value, all measured in some manner by reference to RPAI’s 2012 offering price when it listed its shares on the NYSE. The complaints seek unspecified damages and other relief. RPAI stated in the RPAI 10-K that, based on its initial review of the complaints, RPAI believes the lawsuits to be without merit and intends to defend the actions vigorously.

Inland American focuses on acquiring and managing a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate, including primarily retail, office, industrial, multi-family (both conventional and student housing), and lodging properties, located in the United States.

Inland American’s average distribution reinvestment plan participation was 44% for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to 47% for the year ended December 31, 2011. As a result, Inland American has raised a total of approximately $8.8 billion of gross offering proceeds as a result of all of its offerings (inclusive of distribution reinvestments and net of redemptions).

S-33
 

Inland American adopted an amended and restated share repurchase program, effective as of February 1, 2012. Under the amended program, Inland American repurchases shares, on a quarterly basis, from the beneficiary of a stockholder that has died or from stockholders that have a “qualifying disability” or are confined to a “long-term care facility” (collectively, “hardship repurchases”). In 2012, Inland American reserved $10 million per calendar quarter for the purpose of funding repurchases associated with death and $15.0 million per calendar quarter for the purpose of funding hardship repurchases. For 2013, Inland American reserved $10 million per calendar quarter for the purpose of funding repurchases associated with death and $15.0 million per calendar quarter for the purpose of funding hardship repurchases; however, the amended and restated share repurchase program provides that Inland American’s board of directors may, in its sole discretion, increase or decrease the amounts reserved; provided, that Inland American must send its stockholders notice of the change at least thirty calendar days prior to the effective date of the change. Beginning on December 31, 2012, any shares redeemed under Inland American’s share repurchase program will be redeemed at a price of $6.93 per share.

Inland American also stated that it anticipated that it will be able to repay, refinance or extend all of its debt on a timely basis, and that it believes that it has adequate sources of funds to meet its short term cash needs.

Impairments. The impairments recorded by Inland American for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, are explained in more detail below.

S-34
 

Assets. For the year ended December 31, 2012, Inland American recorded a provision for asset impairment of approximately $77.3 million included in continuing operations and $6.0 million in discontinued operations, to reduce the carrying value of certain of its investment properties. For the year ended December 31, 2011, Inland American recognized impairments of $29.0 million included in continuing operations and $134.7 million included in discontinued operations.

Marketable Securities. The carrying value of Inland American’s investments in marketable securities was equal to approximately $327.7 million and $289.4 million as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Joint Ventures. The carrying value of Inland American’s investments in unconsolidated entities was approximately $253.8 million and $316.7 million as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Inland American had impairments on its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for the year ended December 31, 2012 and year ended December 31, 2011 of $9.4 million and $113.6 million, respectively.

Sale of Assets. Inland American sold approximately 143 bank branches (142 retail branches and one office branch), four retail properties, 13 lodging properties, two industrial properties, and four multi-family properties, generating net sales proceeds of $522.6 million. Comparatively for the year ended December 31, 2011 Inland American reported that it sold 14 retail, six lodging, four office, one industrial, and one multi-family properties, generating net sales proceeds of $246.3 million.

Legal Proceedings. In its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012 (the “Q1 American 10-Q”) as updated by its subsequent quarterly report of September 30, 2012 (the “Q3 American 10-Q”, collectively, the “American 10-Q Reports”) and the American 10-K, Inland American reported that it has learned that the SEC is conducting a non-public, formal, fact-finding investigation to determine whether there have been violations of certain provisions of the federal securities laws regarding the business manager fees, property management fees, transactions with the affiliates, timing and amount of distributions paid to the investors, determination of property impairments, and any decision regarding whether Inland American might become a self-administered REIT. Inland American has not been accused of any wrongdoing by the SEC and it has been informed by the SEC that the existence of this investigation does not mean that the SEC has concluded that anyone has broken the law or that the SEC has a negative opinion of any person, entity, or security. Inland American also stated that it has been cooperating fully with the SEC.

According to the American 10-Q Reports and the American 10-K, Inland American cannot reasonably estimate the timing of the investigation, nor can it predict whether or not the investigation might have a material adverse effect on the business.

S-35
 

Inland American also reported that Inland American Business Manager & Advisor, Inc. has offered to reduce the business management fee in an aggregate amount necessary to reimburse Inland American for any costs, fees, fines or assessments, if any, which may result from the SEC investigation, other than legal fees incurred by Inland American, or fees and costs otherwise covered by insurance. The business manager also offered to waive its reimbursement of legal fees or costs that the business manager incurs in connection with the SEC investigation. On May 4, 2012, Inland American Business Manager & Advisor, Inc. forwarded a letter to Inland American that memorializes this arrangement. A copy of Inland American Business Manager & Advisor, Inc.’s letter to Inland American regarding these items was filed as an exhibit to the Q1 American 10-Q.Inland American reported that during the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred approximately $108,000 of costs related to the investigation.

Inland American has also received two related demands by stockholders to conduct investigations regarding claims that the officers, the board of directors, the business manager, and the affiliates of the business manager (the "Inland American Parties") breached their fiduciary duties to Inland American in connection with the matters that Inland American disclosed are subject to the Investigation. The first demand claims that the Inland American Parties (i) falsely reported the value of their common stock until September 2010; (ii) caused them to purchase shares of their common stock from stockholders at prices in excess of their value; and (iii) disguised returns of capital paid to stockholders as REIT income resulting in the payment of fees to the business manager for which it was not entitled. The three stockholders in that demand contend that legal proceedings should seek recovery of damages in an unspecified amount allegedly sustained by Inland American. The second demand by another shareholder makes similar claims and further alleges that the Inland American Parties (i) caused them to engage in transactions that unduly favored related parties, (ii) falsely disclosed the timing and amount of distributions, and (iii) falsely disclosed whether Inland American might become a self-administered REIT. There has been no lawsuit filed, however, with regard to these matters.

 

According to the Q3 American 10-Q and the American 10-K, Inland American’s full board of directors has responded by authorizing the independent directors to investigate the claims contained in the demand letter, as well as any other matters the independent directors see fit to investigate including matters related to the SEC investigation. Pursuant to this authority, the independent directors have formed a special litigation committee that is comprised solely of independent directors to review and evaluate the matters referred by the full board of directors to the independent directors, and to recommend to the full board of directors any further action as is appropriate. The special litigation committee intends to investigate these claims with the assistance of independent legal counsel and will make a recommendation to the board of directors after the committee has completed its investigation.

Tax Matters. According to the American 10-K, Inland American has identified certain distribution and shareholder reimbursement practices that may have caused certain dividends to be treated as preferential dividends, which cannot be used to satisfy the requirement that it distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (subject to certain adjustments) to its stockholders (the “90% Distribution Requirement”). Inland American has also identified the ownership of certain assets that may have violated a REIT qualification requirement that prohibits a REIT from owning “securities” of any one issuer in excess of 5% of the REIT’s total assets at the end of any calendar quarter (the “5% Securities Test”). In order to provide greater certainty with respect to Inland American’s qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, management concluded that it was in the best interest of Inland American and its stockholders to request closing agreements from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for both Inland American and MB REIT (Florida), Inc. (“MB REIT”), of which Inland American owns substantially all of the outstanding capital stock and which Inland American consolidates for financial purposes, with respect to such matters. Accordingly, on October 31, 2012, MB REIT filed a request for a closing agreement with the IRS. Additionally, Inland American filed a separate request to a closing agreement on its own behalf on March 7, 2013.

S-36
 

Inland American stated that it identified certain aspects of the calculation of certain dividends on MB REIT’s preferred stock and also aspects of the operation of certain “set aside” provisions with respect to accrued but unpaid dividends on certain classes of MB REIT’s preferred stock that may have caused certain dividends to be treated as preferential dividends. In the case of Inland American, management identified certain aspects of the operation of Inland American’s dividend reinvestment plan and distribution procedures and also certain reimbursements of shareholder expenses that may have caused certain dividends to be treated as preferential dividends. If these practices resulted in preferential dividends, Inland American and MB REIT would not have satisfied the 90% Distribution Requirement and thus may not have qualified as REITs, which would result in substantial corporate tax liability for the years in which Inland American or MB REIT failed to qualify as a REIT.

In addition, Inland American reported that Inland American and MB REIT made certain overnight investments in bank commercial paper. While the Code does not provide a specific definition of “cash item,” Inland American believes that overnight commercial paper should be treated as a “cash item,” which is not treated as a “security” for purposes of the 5% Securities Test. If treated as a “security,” the bank commercial paper would appear to have represented more than 5% of Inland American’s and MB REIT’s total assets at the end of certain calendar quarters. In the event this commercial paper is treated as a “security,” Inland American anticipates that it would be required to pay corporate income tax on the income earned with respect to the portion of the commercial paper that violated the 5% Securities Test.

According to the American 10-K, Inland American can provide no assurance that the IRS will accept the Inland American’s or MB REIT’s closing agreement requests. Even if the IRS accepts those requests, Inland American and MB REIT may be required to pay a penalty. Inland American cannot predict whether such a penalty would be imposed or, if so, the amount of the penalty. Inland American has stated that it believes that (1) the IRS will enter into closing agreements with Inland American and MB REIT and (2) the Inland American Business Manager & Advisor, Inc. may be liable, in whole or in part, for any penalty imposed in connection with those closing agreements. As noted above, according to the Q3 American 10-Q, Inland American can provide no assurance that the IRS will enter into closing agreements with Inland American and MB REIT or that Inland American and MB REIT will not be liable for any penalty imposed in connection with those closing agreements. Inland American has reported that its management believes based on the currently available information, that such penalty, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements of Inland American.

Inland Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. was a self-administered REIT formed in September 1998. IRRETI focused on purchasing shopping centers located east of the Mississippi River in addition to single-user retail properties in locations throughout the United States. IRRETI sought to provide investors with regular cash distributions and a hedge against inflation through capital appreciation. As of September 30, 2006, the properties owned by IRRETI were generating sufficient cash flow to pay operating expenses and an annual cash distribution of $0.83 per share.

As of September 30, 2006, IRRETI owned 287 properties. These properties were purchased with the net proceeds received from the offering of shares of its common stock, financings, sale of properties and the line of credit. As of September 30, 2006, IRRETI had approximately $2.3 billion of indebtedness secured by its properties.

Capital Raise. Through a total of three public offerings, the last of which was completed in 2003, IRRETI sold a total of approximately 213.7 million shares of its common stock. In addition, through September 30, 2006, IRRETI had issued approximately 41.1 million shares through its distribution reinvestment program, and repurchased a total of approximately 11.4 million shares through the share reinvestment program. As a result, IRRETI had realized total net offering proceeds of approximately $2.4 billion as of September 30, 2006.

Merger to Become Self-Administered. On December 29, 2004, IRRETI became a self-administered REIT by acquiring, through merger, Inland Retail Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc., its business manager and advisor, and Inland Southern Management Corp., Inland Mid-Atlantic Management Corp., and Inland Southeast Property Management Corp., its property managers. As a result of the merger, IRRETI issued to our sponsor, IREIC, the sole stockholder of the business manager and advisor, and the stockholders of the property managers, an aggregate of approximately 19.7 million shares of IRRETI’s common stock, valued at $10.00 per share for purposes of the merger agreement, or approximately 7.9% of its common stock.

Sale. As noted above, on February 27, 2007, IRRETI and DDR completed a merger.

Distributions by Publicly Registered REITs

The following tables summarize distributions paid by IRC, RPAI, Inland American and Inland Diversified during the ten years (or any lesser period, as the case may be) ended December 31, 2012, and by IRRETI through September 30, 2006. The rate at which each company raises capital, acquires properties and generates cash from all sources determines the amount of cash available for distribution. As described in more detail below, IREIC or its affiliates agreed, from time to time, to either forgo or defer all or a portion of the business management and advisory fees due them to increase the amount of cash available to pay distributions while each REIT raised capital and acquired properties. In each case, if IREIC or its affiliates had not agreed to forgo or defer all or a portion of the advisor fee, or, in the case of RPAI and Inland Diversified, advance or contribute monies to pay distributions, the aggregate amount of distributions made by each REIT may have been reduced or the REIT would have likely had to decrease the number of properties acquired or the pace at which it acquired properties. See “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Business” for a discussion of risks associated with the availability and timing of our cash distributions.

(A)210 Celebration Place Office Building, Celebration, FL. As of May 31, 2012, the sole owner of the property decided to manage the property himself. Therefore, IPCC no longer has access to any information related to the operations or performance of this property.
(B)These properties were sold.
(C)CompUSA, Lombard, IL. CompUSA vacated its space in October 2006 and ceased paying rent in September 2007. CompUSA never filed bankruptcy but instead settled out of court with creditors and vendors. The settlement provided $530,436 to the co-owners. In November 2007, the co-owners unanimously decided to cease quarterly distributions until the facility was re-tenanted. In July 2009, the loan servicer for the property initiated foreclosure proceedings. The asset manager negotiated with the loan servicer to approve a transfer, allowing the co-owners to continue their 1031 exchange program with IPCC through a transfer into a portion of a multi-tenanted retail property known as Robertson’s Creek in consideration for the co-owners’ participation in a consent foreclosure. IPCC advanced approximately $1,369,126 to the co-owners to cover the equity portion of Robertson’s Creek at a 5.00% per annum interest rate, pursuant to which 2.50% is due monthly and 2.50% is accrued. Out of the cash flow generated by Robertson’s Creek, half is distributed to the co-owners and the other half is used to pay current interest due with any remaining being put towards principal. All accrued interest and remaining principal will be repaid to IPCC upon a sale or refinance of Robertson’s Creek.
(D)Fox River Commons Shopping Center, Grand Chute, WI. The maturity date of the original loan encumbering the property was December 1, 2012. The loan was refinanced on August 29, 2012. The 2013 annual cash-on-cash return is projected to be 5.00% and the yield is projected to be 6.24%.

(F)Rite Aid Pharmacy (formerly Eckerd), Forestville, MD. The cash-on-cash return projected in the private placement memorandum was based on the assumption that the property would be financed at approximately 46% loan-to-value. However, the sole owner decided not to place any financing on the property. Therefore, although the property is performing as projected, due to the fact that this property was purchased as an all-cash investment at the sole owner’s discretion, the actual cash-on-cash return distributed since the sole owner originally purchased the property in May 2004 has been 7.11%.
(G)Long Run Marketplace, Lemont, IL. During the second quarter of 2007, the sole owner of the property decided to manage the property himself. Therefore, IPCC no longer has access to any information related to the operations or performance of this property.

(Q)John Deere Distribution Facility, Jefferson City, TN. Deere & Company, the tenant, vacated the property in November 2009. However, the lease obligates the tenant to pay rent through the early termination date of December 31, 2012, and to pay a termination fee of $4,200,000. The tenant has secured a subtenant to occupy the entire building through September 2014. In conjunction with the sublease, the termination date has been extended to September 30, 2014 and at that time the tenant must pay a termination fee of $3,000,000.

Due to market conditions, a replacement loan could not be obtained. However, the loan includes a “hyper-amortization” provision, and the term of the loan will continue through the maturity date of December, 2035 or until repayment occurs. The “hyper-amortization” resulted in an increase in the interest rate from 5.316% to 7.316% per annum, and all remaining cash flow will be used to pay down the principal balance of the existing loan.

(X)Yorkville, Medical Center, Yorkville, IL. Starting in 2013, the annualized cash-on-cash return will be 6.00% in order to build up the reserve account for potential leasing commissions and tenant improvements.
(Y)HH Gregg Store, Cincinnati, OH. The anticipated repayment date of the loan encumbering the property was August 1, 2012. Due to market conditions, a replacement loan could not be obtained. However, the loan includes a “hyper-amortization” provision, and the term of the loan will continue through the maturity date of August 1, 2035 or until repayment occurs. The “hyper-amortization” resulted in an increase in the interest rate from 5.229% to 7.229% per annum, and all remaining cash flow will be used to pay down the principal balance of the existing loan.
(Z)CVS Pharmacy, Madison, IN. The anticipated repayment date of the loan encumbering the property was January 1, 2013. The loan includes a “hyper-amortization” provision, and the term of the loan will continue through the maturity date of January 1, 2036 or until repayment occurs. The “hyper-amortization” resulted in an increase in the interest rate from 5.246 to 7.246% per annum, and all remaining cash flow will be used to pay down the principal balance of the existing loan.
(AA)CVS Pharmacy, Aurora, IN. The sole owner refinanced the loan on his own on March 29, 2013. Although the asset manager will continue to manage the property, all cash flow will now flow through the lender. Therefore, the asset manager does not control and cannot estimate future distributions.
(BB)Innsbrooke Town Square, Murfreesboro, TN. As of the date of this Memorandum there are seven vacancies, including a former Blockbuster, at the center totaling 14,000 square feet of the total 88,257 square feet. Blockbuster, which occupied 4,200 square feet, filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in September 2010. Kroger, which occupies 53,636 square feet will begin work to expand its store size in 2013. The asset manager is working on relocating the surrounding tenants to allow for Kroger’s expansion. The 2013 annual cash-on-cash return is projected to be 0.86%.
(CC)Craig Crossing, McKinney, TX. Due to collection issues related to three former tenants, IPCC advanced approximately $490,000 at an interest rate of 4.00% per annum with a variable amortization schedule to fund operating expenses and distributions for 2009 and 2010. The 2013 annualized cash-on-cash return is projected to be 4.00%. In addition, in December 2010, the State of Texas instituted an eminent domain proceeding to acquire approximately 10,450 square feet of land included in Parcel 1C of the property and approximately 7,591 square feet of land included in Parcel 1B of the property for road widening. It is anticipated that this would affect access, signage and parking at the property. The co-owners have retained legal counsel for representation and to ensure that this does not violate any of the existing leases or zoning requirements.
(DD)Olivet Church Crossing Shopping Center, Paducah, KY. Cost Plus, which occupied 18,230 square feet of the total 165,600 square feet, vacated its store in May 2008 and paid rent through August 2008. Cost Plus paid $900,000 to terminate the lease in September 2008. In August 2011, the co-owners accepted Burke’s Outlet as a replacement tenant for Cost Plus. On January 23, 2013, the asset manager filed an interpleader complaint in the Circuit Court of DuPage County, requesting relief with respect to an agreement entered into by IPCC, an investor and a third party. The complaint seeks a declaration as to whom is entitled to certain distributions and future sales proceeds from the property. A complaint for declaratory relief, relating to the same legal issues, was filed in the Circuit Court of Deschutes County, Oregon on March 15, 2013. The complaint named the asset manager and IPCC as defendants. IPCC does not believe that the complaint will have a material adverse effect on its busiess, or the business of the asset manager. The anticipated repayment date of the loan encumbering the property was April 1, 2013. The loan includes a “hyper-amortization” provision, and the term of the loan will continue through the maturity date of April 1, 2036 or until repayment occurs. The “hyper-amortization” resulted in an increase in the interest rate from 5.33% to 7.33% per annum, and all remaining cash flow will be used to pay down the principal balance of the existing loan. The asset manager is currently working on refinancing the loan.

(EE)Yuma Palms Regional Shopping Center, Yuma, AZ. Linens N’ Things (“Linens”), which occupied 29,943 square feet of the total 496,692 square feet, filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in May 2008. In October 2008 the bankruptcy court approved a motion to change the Linens bankruptcy filing from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7. Linens vacated its space in August 2008 and paid rent through August 2008, with the exception of May 2008 rent, which was part of a pre-petition claim. An administrative claim has been filed with the bankruptcy court, for the pre-bankruptcy petition, unpaid May 2008 rent. The 2013 annual cash-on-cash return is projected to be 4.13%.
(FF)Honey Creek Commons, Terre Haute, IN. Although Boston Pizza had previously vacated its space, its lender continued to pay its rent. The lender stopped paying rent in April 2010 and in June 2011, the co-owners accepted Chili’s as a replacement tenant. Dress Barn, which occupied 7,005 square feet, vacated in June 2011 and the co-owners also accepted Rue 21 and Game Stop as replacement tenants for the Dress Barn space. Because the cost to bring in Chili’s, Rue 21 and Game Stop exceeded the balance of the reserve account, IPCC advanced approximately $340,000 at a 5.00% per annum interest rate over a one and one-half year amortization schedule. The 2013 annualized cash-on-cash return is projected to be 3.28%.
(GG)Borders Store, Carmel, IN. Borders announced plans to file for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in February 2011 and closed the Carmel, IN location in April 2011. Foreclosure proceedings were filed in May 2011. The asset manager negotiated with the loan servicer to approve a transfer, allowing the sole owner to continue his 1031 exchange program with IPCC through a transfer into a portion of two, self-amortizing Walgreens properties. IPCC advanced approximately $590,539 to the sole owner to cover the equity portion of the two Walgreens properties. The advance has a term of approximately nine years with an interest rate fixed at approximately 1.01%. Interest will accrue annually and is to be repaid along with the principal balance upon a sale of the properties.
(HH)Memorial Square, Oklahoma City, OK. Circuit City, which occupied 33,881 square feet of the total 123,753 square feet, filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in November 2008. Circuit City vacated its space in February 2009 and paid rent through part of February 2009. In April 2011, the co-owners accepted Marshalls as a replacement tenant for Circuit City. In addition, in February 2012, co-owners accepted Monarch Dental as a replacement for Lasik Plus, which vacated in May 2012, Carter’s to occupy vacant space adjacent to Marshalls and Dots to occupy former master leased space. Since the cost to bring in Monarch Dental, Carter’s and Dots exceeded the balance of the reserve account, IPCC temporarily advanced approximately $370,000 in May 2012. Also in May 2012, the co-owners approved a rental rate reduction for DSW, which occupies 15,411 square feet, from $19 per square foot to $16 per square foot from August 2012 through July 2017 and from $21 per square foot to $17 per square foot during the first five-year option period in exchange for the removal of its termination clause. In order to pay back IPCC’s temporary advance, the 2012 annual cash-on-cash return was 0.73%. The anticipated repayment date of the loan encumbering the property was January 1, 2013. The loan includes a “hyper-amortization” provision, and the term of the loan will continue through the maturity date of January 1, 2038 or until repayment occurs. The “hyper-amortization” resulted in an increase in the interest rate from 5.85% to 7.85% per annum, and all remaining cash flow will be used to pay down the principal balance of the existing loan. The asset manager is currently working on refinancing the loan.
(II)BJ’s Wholesale Club, Austell, GA. BJ’s Wholesale Club vacated the property in January 2011, but its lease obligates the tenant to pay rent through the lease expiration date of August 31, 2023. On January 1, 2013, the terms of the existing loan were modified to extend the maturity date, lower the interest rate and begin principal repayment to allow for more time to develop alternative business plans. In connection with this modification and in accordance with its trust agreement, Austell 1031 DST converted to a single member limited liability company. Based on the loan modification terms, starting in January 2013, the annualized cash-on-cash return will be 2.00%.
(JJ)University of Phoenix Building, Merrillville, IN. In October 2012, the tenant announced plans to close this location. Therefore, as of December 2012, all cash flow is being allocated to the reserve account.
(KK)These offerings are highly levered and, by design, produce no cash flow.

Liquidity of Prior Programs

While engaged in a public offering of its common stock, each of the five REITs previously sponsored by IREIC disclosed in its prospectus the time at which it anticipated its board would consider listing, liquidating or selling its assets individually. The following summary sets forth both the dates on which these REITs anticipated considering a liquidity event and the dates on which the liquidity events occurred, if ever.

·Inland Real Estate Corporation. IRC stated that the company anticipated that, by 1999, its directors would determine whether to apply to have the shares of its common stock listed for trading on a national stock exchange. In July 2000, IRC became a self-administered REIT by acquiring, through merger, its advisor and its property manager. The board evaluated market conditions each year thereafter. IRC listed its shares on the NYSE and began trading on June 9, 2004 at a price equal to $11.95 per share. On April 10, 2013, the closing price of the IRC common stock on the NYSE was $10.53 per share.
·Inland Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. IRRETI stated that the company anticipated that, by February 2004, its directors would determine whether to apply to have shares of its common stock listed for trading on a national stock exchange. In December 2004, IRRETI became a self-administered REIT by acquiring, through merger, its business manager and advisor and its property managers. The board of directors of IRRETI thereafter considered market conditions and chose not to list its common stock. IRRETI instead consummated a liquidity event by merging with Developers Diversified Realty Corporation, a NYSE-listed REIT, in February 2007. IRRETI’s stockholders received, for each share of common stock held, $12.50 in cash and $1.50 in common shares of DDR, which equated to a 0.021569 common share of DDR.
·Retail Properties of America, Inc. RPAI stated that the company anticipated that, by September 2008, its directors would determine whether to apply to have the shares of its common stock listed for trading on a national stock exchange, or whether to commence subsequent offerings of its common stock.  In November 2007, RPAI became a self-administered REIT by acquiring, through merger, its business manager and advisor and its property managers. RPAI announced that it completed a public offering of 36,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at $8.00 per share (which, without giving effect to the reverse stock split or stock dividend, is equivalent to $3.20 per share of its common stock) on April 5, 2012. This public offering generated gross proceeds of approximately $292.6 million, or approximately $272.1 million net of the underwriting discount. Also on April 5, 2012, RPAI’s Class A Common Stock began trading on the NYSE under the symbol “RPAI.” On April 10, 2013, the closing price of the RPAI Class A Common Stock on the NYSE was $14.69 per share (which, without giving effect to the reverse stock split or stock dividend, is equivalent to $5.88 per share of its common stock).
S-52
 
·Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. In the prospectuses used in each of its “best efforts” offerings, Inland American disclosed to its investors that its board would determine when, and if, to apply to have its shares of common stock listed for trading on a national securities exchange, subject to satisfying existing listing requirements, and that its board did not anticipate evaluating a listing on a national securities exchange until at least 2010. The public reports filed by Inland American with the SEC do not indicate that Inland American’s board of directors has begun evaluating a listing of its common stock as of December 31, 2012.

·                     Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. In the prospectus used in its “best efforts” offering, Inland Diversified disclosed to its investors that its board would determine when, and if, to apply to have its shares of common stock listed for trading on a national securities exchange, subject to satisfying existing listing requirements, and that its board did not anticipate evaluating a listing on a national securities exchange until at least 2014. The public reports filed by Inland Diversified with the SEC indicate that Inland Diversified’s board of directors has scheduled exploratory meetings to discuss the Company’s liquidity events plans with industry experts.

MANAGEMENT

The following discussion updates the discussion contained in the section of our prospectus captioned “Management – Inland Affiliated Companies,” which begins on page 103 of the prospectus.

Inland Affiliated Companies

Our sponsor, Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation, or IREIC, is an affiliate of The Inland Real Estate Group, Inc., or “TIREG,” which is wholly owned by The Inland Group, Inc. The first Inland entity was formed by a group of Chicago schoolteachers in 1967, and incorporated the following year. TIREG and its affiliates are still centered in the Chicago metropolitan area. Over the past forty years, TIREG’s affiliates have experienced significant growth and now make up a fully-integrated group of legally and financially separate companies that have been engaged in diverse facets of real estate providing property management, leasing, marketing, acquisition, disposition, development, redevelopment, renovation, construction, finance, investment products and other related services. IREIC, our Business Manager and TIREG are part of The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc.

The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies was the 2009 winner, in the category including 1,000+ employees, of the thirteenth annual Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics, awarded by the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago & Northern Illinois (the “BBB”). The award is given to companies that the BBB identifies as exemplifying ethical business practices. In a press release issued by the BBB, the president and chief executive officer of the BBB noted that the 2009 competition had the largest number of nominations and entries, with more than 1,800 nominations from a wide variety of businesses. We note, however, that these rankings do not indicate, and should not be relied upon as to, how we may perform in the future.

As of December 31, 2012, Inland affiliates or related parties had raised more than $19.3 billion from investment product sales to over 475,000 investors, many of whom have invested in more than one product. Inland had completed 443 programs, comprised of eight public funds, 424 private partnerships, ten 1031 exchange programs and one public REIT, as of December 31, 2012. No completed program has paid total distributions less than the total contributed capital to the program. For these purposes, Inland considers a program to be “completed” at the time that the program no longer owns any assets (four sole owners in 1031 exchange programs elected to self-manage their properties; and therefore, no information on current performance for those programs is available to Inland). Neither IRC nor RPAI is considered a “completed” program for these purposes, as each continues to own assets.

As of December 31, 2012, Inland affiliates or related parties cumulatively had 1,463 employees, owned properties in forty-eight states and managed assets with a book value exceeding $20.8 billion. As of December 31, 2012, Inland was responsible for managing approximately 88.7 million square feet of commercial properties located in forty-eight states, as well as 13,459 multi-family units. IREA, another affiliate of IREIC, has extensive experience in acquiring real estate for investment. Over the years, through IREA and other affiliates, Inland has acquired more than 3,132 properties.

As of December 31, 2012, IREIC or its subsidiaries were the general partner of limited partnerships and the general manager of limited liability companies which owned in excess of 1,396 acres of pre-development land in the Chicago area, as well as over 1.9 million square feet of real property and 659 apartment units.

Inland Real Estate Brokerage & Auctions, Inc., since 2000 has completed more than $1.1 billion in commercial real estate sales and leases and has been involved in the sale of more than 7,400 multi-family units and the sale and lease of over 117.0 million square feet of commercial property. As of December 31, 2012, another Inland affiliate, Inland Mortgage Brokerage Corporation, had originated more than $19.7 billion in financing including loans to third parties and affiliated entities. Another Inland affiliate, Inland Mortgage Capital Corporation owned a loan portfolio totaling approximately $93.7 million. Another affiliate, Inland Commercial Mortgage Corporation, had originated more than $1.6 billion in financing as of December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, Inland Mortgage Servicing Corporation serviced a loan portfolio with a face value equal to approximately $2.8 billion.

Description of Real Estate Assets

Investments in Real Estate Assets

This section has been inserted to the prospectus following the section captioned “Investment Objectives and Policies,” which begins on page 131 of the prospectus.

Recent Acquisitions

As of April 10, 2013, we had completed the following property acquisitions:

Dollar General Properties (Phase I)

On November 6, 2012, we, through five wholly-owned subsidiaries formed for this purpose, acquired the entire fee simple interests in five newly-constructed single-tenant properties, all of which are net leased to Dolgencorp, LLC (“Dolgencorp”), a subsidiary of Dollar General Corporation (“Dollar General”), for $6.68 million from Highwood Investments, LLC, an unaffiliated third party. Highwood Investments, LLC had entered into an agreement with Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, Inc. (“IREA”) which IREA assigned to us at closing. We funded the purchase price with the proceeds from a loan secured by a first priority mortgage on each of the properties in an aggregate principal amount equal to approximately $3.34 million and a mezzanine loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to approximately $3.34 million. As of April 5, 2013 the entire principal balance of the mezzanine loan had been paid in full. The terms of the loan secured by a mortgage are described below under “Financing Transactions.”

Closing costs for this acquisition were approximately $153,000. We expect to pay our Business Manager an acquisition fee of approximately $100,000, which we expect to pay from offering proceeds. The capitalization rate for this portfolio is approximately 7.56% based on the aggregate purchase price paid at closing.

The portfolio consists of five stores located in Robertsdale, East Brewton and Wetumpka, Alabama and in Newport and Madisonville, Tennessee. Dolgencorp leases each property pursuant to a fifteen year, triple-net lease expiring in 2027, with a five year renewal provision at Dolgencorp’s option. These triple-net leases require Dolgencorp to pay all costs associated with a property, including real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and routine maintenance in addition to the base rent. Dollar General has guaranteed all rents and other sums due under each lease in the event that Dolgencorp defaults.

Because these are newly-constructed properties, there is no prior occupancy or average effective annual rental information.

We believe that each property is suitable for its intended purpose and adequately covered by insurance. We do not believe any significant renovations or improvements to any of the properties is presently necessary. According to its public filings, Dollar General is the largest discount retailer in the United States by number of stores, with 10,557 stores located in 40 states as of March 1, 2013, primarily in the southern, southwestern, midwestern and eastern United States. At closing, the properties were subject to competition from similar nearby discount retail centers (“competitive properties”), as follows: six competitive properties located within approximately ten miles of the Robertsdale property; three competitive properties located within approximately ten miles of the East Brewton property; five competitive properties located within approximately ten miles of the Wetumpka property; seven competitive properties located within approximately ten miles of the Newport property; and four competitive properties located within approximately ten miles of the Madisonville property.

S-56
 

Real estate taxes paid for the properties were calculated by multiplying the properties’ assessed values by the respective tax rates listed in the table below. As noted above, however, Dolgencorp is responsible for paying these taxes. For federal income tax purposes, the total depreciable basis in these properties is approximately $6.68 million. We presently intend to calculate depreciation expense for federal income tax purposes by using the straight-line method. For federal income tax purposes, we depreciate buildings and land improvements based upon estimated useful lives of 40 and 20 years, respectively. The following table indicates, at closing, the real estate taxes, real estate tax rates and estimated income tax basis for these properties for the most recent tax year for which information was available.

Dollar General Properties (Phase II)

On December 28, 2012, we, through seven wholly-owned subsidiaries formed for this purpose, acquired the entire fee simple interests in seven single-tenant properties, all of which are net leased to Dolgencorp, for $8.28 million from Highwood Investments, LLC, an unaffiliated third party. Highwood Investments, LLC had entered into an agreement with IREA, which IREA assigned to us at closing. We funded the purchase price with the proceeds from: (1) a loan secured by cross-collateralized first mortgages on the seven properties in an aggregate principal amount equal to approximately $4.14 million; (2) a mezzanine loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to approximately $2.48 million; and (3) approximately $1.96 million of a third loan with an aggregate principal amount equal to approximately $4.7 million of which approximately $1.66 million was used to fund a portion of the purchase price of the seven properties leased to Dolgencorp and approximately $300,000 was retained by us and the remainder of which was used to partially fund the acquisition of Newington Fair Shopping Center described below. We expect to use offering proceeds to repay the mezzanine loan and the third loan.

Closing costs for this acquisition were approximately $249,000. We expect to pay IREIT Business Manager & Advisor, Inc., our Business Manager, an acquisition fee of approximately $124,200, which we expect to pay from offering proceeds. The capitalization rate for this portfolio is approximately 7.22% based on the aggregate purchase price paid at closing.

S-57
 

The portfolio consists of seven stores located in Alabama (Daleville, Mobile and Valley); Georgia (Brooks and LaGrange); and Tennessee (Maryville). Dolgencorp leases each property pursuant to separate fifteen year, triple-net leases, each expiring in 2027, with a five year renewal provision at the option of Dolgencorp. These triple-net leases require Dolgencorp to pay all costs associated with the respective property, including real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and routine maintenance in addition to the base rent. Dollar General has guaranteed all rents and other sums due under each lease in the event that Dolgencorp defaults.

Because these are newly-constructed properties, there is no prior occupancy or average effective annual rental information.

We believe that each property is suitable for its intended purpose and adequately covered by insurance. We do not believe any significant renovations or improvements to any of the properties is presently necessary. At closing, the properties were subject to competition from similar nearby discount retail centers (“competitive properties”), as follows: seven competitive properties located within approximately ten miles of the Daleville property; eight competitive properties located within approximately ten miles of the Mobile property; six competitive properties located within approximately ten miles of the Valley property; seven competitive properties located within approximately ten miles of the Brooks property; five competitive properties located within approximately ten miles of the LaGrange (Hamilton Road) property; six competitive properties located within approximately ten miles of the LaGrange (Wares Cross Road) property and nine competitive properties located within approximately ten miles of the Maryville property.

Real estate taxes paid for the properties were calculated by multiplying the properties’ assessed values by the respective tax rates listed in the table below. As noted above, however, Dolgencorp is responsible for paying these taxes. For federal income tax purposes, the total depreciable basis in these properties is approximately $8.3 million. We presently intend to calculate depreciation expense for federal income tax purposes by using the straight-line method. For federal income tax purposes, we depreciate buildings and land improvements based upon estimated useful lives of 40 and 20 years, respectively.

Newington Fair Shopping Center

On December 27, 2012, we, through a wholly-owned subsidiary formed for this purpose, acquired the entire fee simple interest in Newington Fair Shopping Center, a 186,205 square foot retail center, located in Newington, Connecticut for approximately $17.2 million, plus closing costs, from Newington-Berlin Retail, LLC, an unaffiliated third party. The seller had entered into an agreement with IREA which IREA assigned to us at closing. The acquisition price reflects a $300,000 credit granted in our favor at closing to be used to fund anticipated maintenance expenses during 2013. We funded the purchase price with the proceeds from a loan secured by a two tranche open end mortgage on the property, consisting of two components, in an aggregate principal amount equal to approximately $15.13 million, of which approximately $14.72 million was funded at closing. The unfunded portion of the loan may be drawn upon to pay the anticipated maintenance expenses during 2013. The first portion of the open end mortgage loan is a “senior tranche” in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $9.79 million, of which approximately $9.5 million was funded at closing. The second portion is a “junior tranche” in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $5.34 million, of which approximately $5.2 million was funded at closing. The remaining $2.7 million of the purchase price was funded with the proceeds of an additional loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to approximately $4.7 million the remainder of which was used to partially fund the acquisition of the Dollar General Properties (Phase II) described above. We expect to use offering proceeds to repay both the junior tranche portion of the open end mortgage and the additional loan.

Closing costs for this acquisition were approximately $225,000. We expect to pay our Business Manager an acquisition fee of approximately $258,000, based on an unadjusted purchase price of approximately $17.5 million, which we expect to fund from offering proceeds. The capitalization rate for this property was approximately 6.86%.

Among the items we considered in determining whether to acquire the Newington Fair Shopping Center included, but were not limited to, the following at closing:

·The property includes a vacant pad of 6,500 square feet for future development.
·The property is shadow anchored by a Toys R Us and a supermarket, Stew Leonard’s. We will not own the shadow space.
·The property is currently 100% occupied.
·We believe the property is well situated in Connecticut. Newington is bordered by Hartford as well as the Hartford suburbs of Wethersfield, Rocky Hill, Berlin, New Britain, Farmington, and West Hartford.

At closing, Newington Fair Shopping Center was 100% leased to two tenants. The weighted-average remaining lease term for the two tenants occupying the property, at closing, was approximately fourteen years. The two tenants of the property are: (1) Sam’s Club, a retail warehouse club, which leases, pursuant to a ground lease, 134,605 square feet, or 72.3% of the total gross leasable area of this property, excluding the vacant pad, paying an annual base rent of $301,852; and (2) LA Fitness, a health and fitness club, which leases 51,600 square feet, or 27.7% of the total gross leasable area of this property, excluding the vacant pad, paying an annual base rent of $954,600, which is scheduled to increase to: (a) $983,238 in June 2014; and (b) $1,012,735 in June 2019. The Sam’s Club lease expires in June 2028, and the LA Fitness lease expires in June 2024.

The table below sets forth certain historical information with respect to the occupancy rate at the property, expressed as a percentage of total gross leasable area, and the average effective annual base rent per square foot.

Year Ending

December 31*

Occupancy Rate

as of December 31

Average Effective

Annual Rental

Per Square Foot

2012 100% $6.75
2011 100% $6.75
2010 100% $6.75
2009 100% $6.75
2008 100% $2.24

*The first year of occupancy was 2008. Total property square footage was 134,605, which was leased entirely to Sam’s Club at December 31, 2008.

We believe that Newington Fair Shopping Center is suitable for its intended purpose and adequately covered by insurance. We do not believe any significant renovations or improvements to the property are presently necessary. At closing, there were thirteen competitive shopping centers located within approximately three miles of the property.

Real estate taxes assessed for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 (the most recent tax year for which information was generally available at closing) are approximately $179,000. The amount of real estate taxes assessed was calculated by multiplying Newington Fair Shopping Center’s assessed value by a tax rate of 3.264%. This calculation excludes any real estate taxes attributable to the portion of the property leased by Sam’s Club which are paid directly by Sam’s Club. We presently intend to calculate depreciation expense for federal income tax purposes by using the straight-line method. For federal income tax purposes, we depreciate buildings and land improvements based upon estimated useful lives of 40 and 20 years, respectively.

Financing Transactions

This section has been inserted to the prospectus following the section captioned “Description of Real Estate Assets – Potential Investments in Real Estate Assets.”

Dollar General Properties (Phase I)

JPMorgan Cross-Collateralized Secured Loan. In connection with acquiring the five “Phase I” locations leased to Dolgencorp described above, our wholly owned subsidiaries, IREIT East Brewton DG, L.L.C., IREIT Robertsdale DG, L.L.C., IREIT Madisonville DG, L.L.C., IREIT Newport DG, L.L.C. and IREIT Wetumpka DG, L.L.C. (each individually, a “borrower” and collectively, the “borrowers”), entered into a loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to approximately $3.34 million from JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association. The loan is secured by cross-collateralized first mortgages on the five properties. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate equal to 4.31% per annum (the “initial interest rate”) until December 1, 2019 (the “anticipated repayment date”). In the event the loan is not repaid as of the anticipated repayment date the loan will bear interest at a rate equal to 3% per annum plus the greater of (1) 4.31%, or (2) the seven year swap yield as of the first business day after the anticipated repayment date (the “revised interest rate”); provided, however, that the revised interest rate may not exceed 9.31% per annum. The loan matures on May 1, 2027, and requires the borrowers to make monthly payments of interest only until January 1, 2013, at which point the loan requires the borrowers to make monthly payments of principal and interest until the anticipated repayment date, and thereafter monthly payments of approximately $18,000 until the maturity date.

The loan may be prepaid in full, but not in part, any time after December 1, 2014, provided that if the prepayment occurs prior to September 1, 2019, the borrowers will be required to pay a prepayment premium equal to the greater of: (1) 1% of the outstanding principal balance of the loan; or (2) the excess, if any, of: (a) the sum of the present values of all then-schedule payments of principal and interest under the loan documents, over (b) the principal amount being prepaid. Subject to satisfying certain conditions, as set forth in the loan documents, each individual borrower may prepay a portion of the loan equal to 120% of the portion of the loan allocated to that borrower’s property and obtain the release of its property and the release of its related obligations under the loan documents. Assuming no payment has been made on principal in advance of the anticipated repayment date approximately $3.34 million will be due on the anticipated repayment date.

The loan documents contain customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and borrowing conditions, all as set forth in the loan documents, including limitations on the incurrence of unpermitted liens on the properties and limitations on zoning reclassifications of the properties. The loan documents also contain various customary events of default; including the non-payment of principal or interest, default in compliance with the covenants contained in the documents evidencing the loan and bankruptcy or other insolvency events. If an event of default occurs under the loan, the lender may declare the debt to be immediately due and payable, and in certain limited cases the loan balance may become immediately due and payable without any action by the lender. In the event of a default, the borrowers will be required to pay a default interest rate equal to the lesser of the maximum legal interest rate or 5% per annum above the initial interest rate or revised interest rate, as applicable.

The loan is non-recourse to us and the borrowers, with certain exceptions for borrower bankruptcy. We have guaranteed the full amount of the debt in the event the borrower fails to provide access or information to the properties or fails to obtain the lender’s prior written consent to any liens on or transfers of the properties, and in the event of any losses, costs or damages incurred by the lender as a result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation of any individual borrower, gross negligence or willful misconduct, material waste of the properties and the breach of any representation or warranty concerning environmental laws, among other things.

S-61
 

V-IN Loan. Our wholly owned subsidiary, IREIT DG SPE Member, L.L.C. also entered into an unsecured loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to approximately $3.34 million from V-IN DOLLAR, LLC. As of April 5, 2013 the entire principal balance of the V-IN Loan had been paid in full.

Dollar General Properties (Phase II)

JPMorgan Cross-Collateralized Secured Loan. In connection with acquiring the seven “Phase II” properties leased to Dolgencorp described above, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, IREIT LaGrange Hamilton DG, L.L.C., IREIT LaGrange Wares Cross DG, L.L.C., IREIT Brooks DG, L.L.C., IREIT Maryville DG, L.L.C., IREIT Valley DG, L.L.C., IREIT Daleville DG, L.L.C. and IREIT Mobile Moffett DG, L.L.C. (each individually, a “borrower” and collectively, the “borrowers”), entered into a loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to approximately $4.14 million from JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association. The loan is secured by cross-collateralized first mortgages on the seven properties. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate equal to 4.347% per annum (the “initial interest rate”) until January 1, 2020 (the “anticipated repayment date”). In the event the loan is not repaid as of the anticipated repayment date the loan will bear interest at a rate equal to 3% per annum plus the greater of: (1) the initial interest rate or (2) the seven year swap yield as of the first business day after the anticipated repayment date (the “revised interest rate”); provided, however, that the revised interest rate may not exceed the initial interest rate plus 5% per annum. The loan matures on October 1, 2027, and requires the borrowers to make monthly payments of interest only, calculated based on the initial interest rate, until January 1, 2020, at which point the loan requires the borrowers to make monthly payments of $22,653.41 until the maturity date.

The loan may be prepaid in full, but not in part, any time after January 1, 2015, provided that if the prepayment occurs prior to October 1, 2019, the borrowers will be required to pay a prepayment premium equal to the greater of: (1) 1% of the outstanding principal balance of the loan; or (2) the excess, if any, of: (a) the sum of the present values of all then-scheduled payments of principal and interest under the loan documents, over (b) the principal amount being prepaid. Subject to satisfying certain conditions, as set forth in the loan documents, each individual borrower may prepay a portion of the loan equal to 120% of the portion of the loan allocated to that borrower’s property and obtain the release of its property and the release of its related obligations under the loan documents. Assuming no payment has been made on principal in advance of the anticipated repayment date approximately $4.14 million will be due on the anticipated repayment date.

The loan documents contain customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and borrowing conditions, all as set forth in the loan documents, including limitations on the incurrence of unpermitted liens on the properties and limitations on zoning reclassifications of the properties. The loan documents also contain various customary events of default; including the non-payment of principal or interest, default in compliance with the covenants contained in the documents evidencing the loan and bankruptcy or other insolvency events. If an event of default occurs under the loan, the lender may declare the debt to be immediately due and payable, and in certain limited cases the loan balance may become immediately due and payable without any action by the lender. In the event of a default, the borrowers will be required to pay a default interest rate equal to the lesser of the maximum legal interest rate or 5% per annum above the initial interest rate or revised interest rate, as applicable.

S-62
 

The loan is non-recourse to us and the borrowers, with certain exceptions for borrower bankruptcy. We have guaranteed the full amount of the debt in the event any borrower fails to provide access or information to the properties or fails to obtain the lender’s prior written consent to any liens on or transfers of the properties, and in the event of any losses, costs or damages incurred by the lender as a result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation of any individual borrower, gross negligence or willful misconduct, material waste of the properties and the breach of any representation or warranty concerning environmental laws, among other things.

JPMorgan Mezzanine Loan. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, IREIT DG SPE Member II, L.L.C. also entered into a mezzanine loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to approximately $2.48 million from JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association. This loan is secured pursuant to a Mezzanine Pledge and Security Agreement that encumbers all of IREIT DG SPE Member II, L.L.C’s interest in the wholly-owned subsidiaries that own the seven properties leased to Dolgencorp. This loan bears interest at a fixed rate equal to 9% per annum and matures on January 1, 2020. Our subsidiary is required to make monthly payments of interest only until the maturity date at which point the then remaining principal balance of the loan, plus any accrued interest becomes due in full. The loan may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time, upon: (1) written notice to the lender specifying the date of prepayment and the amount being prepaid; (2) payment of all other sums then due under the loan; (3) if the prepayment occurs on a date other than a scheduled monthly payment date, payment of interest through the end of the period in which such prepayment occurs; and (4) if the prepayment occurs after January 1, 2014, the payment of an amount equal to the greater of: (a) 1% of the outstanding principal of the loan to be prepaid; and (b) the excess, if any, of (i) the sum of the present values of all then-scheduled payments of principal and interest under the loan assuming that all scheduled payments are made timely and that the remaining outstanding principal and interest on the loan is paid on January 1, 2020; over (ii) the principal amount being prepaid. The loan is non-recourse to us and our subsidiary. IREIC has fully and unconditionally guaranteed payment and performance. We did not pay any fees or other consideration to IREIC for this guarantee. The loan contains various customary events of default. If an event of default occurs under the loan, our subsidiary will be required to pay a default interest rate equal to the lesser of 5% per annum above the interest rate or the maximum interest rate which our subsidiary may by law pay.

Bank of the Ozarks Loan. We also entered into a loan agreement in an aggregate principal amount equal to approximately $4.7 million from Bank of the Ozarks (sometimes referred to herein as the “third loan”) of which approximately $1.96 million was funded at closing of which approximately $1.66 million was used to fund a portion of the above seven “Phase II” properties and approximately $300,000 was retained by us and the remainder of which was used to partially fund the Newington Fair Shopping Center as described below. This loan is secured pursuant to a “Blocked Account Control Agreement” under which IREIC deposited an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the loan into a deposit account under the control of the lender. This loan bears interest at a floating rate equal to the “Three Month” LIBOR rate plus 3.75% per annum, subject to a floor interest rate of 6% per annum (at February 5, 2013 the “Three Month” LIBOR rate equaled approximately 0.293%) and matures on December 28, 2013. Any change in the interest rate will take effect on the effective date of the latest “Three Month” LIBOR rate as indicated in The Wall Street Journal. We are required to make monthly payments of interest only which we started on February 1, 2013 until the maturity date at which point the then remaining principal balance of the loan, plus any accrued interest becomes due in full. The loan may be prepaid in full or in part, at any time, and is not subject to any pre-payment premium. Provided no principal payments are made during the term of the loan, approximately $4.7 million, of which approximately $1.96 million is attributed to the seven “Phase II” properties, will be due and payable at the maturity date. The loan is non-recourse to us. In addition to securing the loan with the “Blocked Account,” IREIC has fully and unconditionally guaranteed payment and performance. We did not pay any fees or other consideration to IREIC for this guarantee or for the pledge of security. The loan contains various customary events of default. If an event of default occurs under the loan we will be required to pay a default interest rate equal to 8.00% per annum above the then current interest rate.

Newington Fair Shopping Center

Bank of the Ozarks Open-End Mortgage Loan. In connection with acquiring the Newington Fair Shopping Center, our wholly-owned subsidiary, IREIT Newington Fair, L.L.C. entered into a loan secured by a two tranche open end mortgage on the property, consisting of two components, in an aggregate principal amount equal to approximately $15.13 million from the Bank of the Ozarks, of which approximately $14.72 million was funded at closing. An open end mortgage allows a borrower to borrow unfunded portions of a loan subject to certain conditions. The unfunded portion of the loan may be drawn upon to pay for anticipated maintenance expenses of approximately $300,000 during 2013. The first portion of the open end mortgage loan is a “senior tranche” in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $9.79 million, of which approximately $9.5 million was funded at closing. The second portion is a “junior tranche” in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $5.34 million, of which approximately $5.2 million was funded at closing. The junior tranche is unconditionally guaranteed for payment and performance by IREIC. We did not pay any fees or other consideration to IREIC for this guarantee.

The open end mortgage loan is secured by the property.   The senior tranche portion of the open end mortgage loan requires monthly payments of interest only and bears interest at a floating rate equal to 3.25% per annum above the “Three Month” LIBOR (at February 5, 2013 the “Three Month” LIBOR rate equaled approximately 0.293%). The interest rate is subject to a floor of 3.50% per annum. Any change in the interest rate will take effect on the effective date of the latest “Three Month” LIBOR rate as indicated in The Wall Street Journal. The senior Tranche portion of the open end mortgage loan matures on December 27, 2015. The junior Tranche portion of the open end mortgage loan requires monthly payments of interest and bears interest at a fixed rate equal to 8.50% per annum. The junior Tranche portion of the loan matures on December 27, 2013. The senior Tranche and junior Tranche portions of the loans are able to be prepaid in full or in part, at any time, and are not subject to any pre-payment premium. Provided no principal payments are made during the term of the loan and that the entire principal amount is borrowed, approximately $9.625 million and $5.250 million respectively will be due and payable at the respective maturity dates.

The open end mortgage loan documents contain customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and borrowing conditions, all as set forth in the loan documents, including limitations on the incurrence of unpermitted liens on the properties and limitations on zoning reclassifications of the properties.  The loan documents also contain various customary events of default, including the non-payment of principal or interest, any default in compliance with the covenants contained in the documents evidencing the loan and bankruptcy or other insolvency events.  If an event of default occurs under the loan, the lender may declare the debt to be immediately due and payable, and in certain limited cases the loan balance may become immediately due and payable without any action by the lender.  In the event of a default, the borrowers will be required to pay a default interest rate equal to the lesser of the maximum legal interest rate or 8.00% per annum above the initial interest rate or revised interest rate, as applicable.

The open end mortgage loan is non-recourse to us and the borrowers, with certain exceptions for borrower bankruptcy.  We have guaranteed the full amount of the debt in the event borrower fails to provide access or information to the properties or fails to obtain the lender’s prior written consent to any liens on or transfers of the properties, and in the event of any losses, costs or damages incurred by the lender as a result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation of any individual borrower, gross negligence or willful misconduct, material waste of the properties and the breach of any representation or warranty concerning environmental laws, among other things.

Our investment objectives are to: (1) to preserve and protect our stockholders’ investments; (2) to acquire quality commercial real estate assets that generate, over time, sufficient cash flow from operations to fund sustainable and predictable distributions; and (3) to realize capital appreciation through the potential sale of our assets or other liquidity. The following programs have investment objectives similar to ours. Inland Real Estate Corporation, or “IRC,” Inland Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc., or “IRRETI,” and Retail Properties of America, Inc., or “RPAI,” were formed primarily to invest in multi-tenant shopping centers. Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc., or “Inland American,” and Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc., or “Inland Diversified,” were formed primarily to invest in several segments of real estate properties. Inland Opportunity Fund, L.L.C. and Inland Opportunity Fund II, L.L.C. were formed to acquire and develop, directly or through joint ventures or other common ownership entities with affiliated and unaffiliated parties, “value-added” and “development” assets.

The real estate exchange private placements offered by Inland Private Capital Corporation (formerly, Inland Real Estate Exchange Corporation), referred to as the “1031 Exchange Programs,” are designed to provide replacement properties for persons wishing to complete an IRS Section 1031 real estate exchange. Thus, these 1031 Exchange Programs do not have investment objectives similar to ours. However, these 1031 Exchange Programs have owned real estate assets similar to those that we may seek to acquire, including industrial buildings, shopping centers, office buildings and other retail buildings.

OPERATING RESULTS OF PRIOR PROGRAMS

NOTES TO TABLE III

 

(A)Inland American has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes. Thus, it generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its stockholders. If Inland American fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. However, even if the program qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, property or its net worth and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

 

(B)Operating expenses include property operating expenses such as real estate tax expense, insurance expense, property management fees, utilities, repairs, maintenance and any provisions for asset impairment.

 

(C)Program expenses include advisor fees and general and administrative costs such as salaries, audit and tax services, D&O insurance, printing and postage.

 

(D)For the 1031 Exchange Programs, depreciation and amortization and tax data are calculated by each individual investor based on their individual basis.

 

(E)From time to time, Inland Diversified, Inland American or Inland Opportunity Fund, L.L.C may acquire a property that includes one or more unleased premises. In certain cases, these programs may enter into a master lease agreement with the seller of the property with respect to these unleased premises. These master lease agreements provide for payments to be made to the program and are designed to offset lost rent and common area maintenance (or “CAM”) expenses paid by the program with respect to the unleased premises. Payments are made from an escrow account established at the time of closing and may continue for a period of up to three years following the closing date as certain re-leasing conditions are satisfied. These escrow payments are recorded as a reduction in the purchase price of the property rather than as rental, or operating, income.

 

(F)In any year in which distributions to investors exceeded total cash available before distributions and special items, Inland American and Inland Opportunity Fund, L.L.C. partially funded the distributions in that year with excess cash available from prior years or cash provided from financing activities.

 

(G)Distributions by a REIT to the extent of its current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes are taxable to stockholders as ordinary income. Distributions in excess of these earnings and profits generally are treated as a non-taxable reduction of the stockholder’s basis in the shares to the extent thereof, and thereafter as taxable gain (a return of capital). These distributions in excess of earnings and profits will have the effect of deferring taxation of the amount of the distribution until the sale of the stockholder’s shares.

(H)Inland Diversified has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes. Thus, it generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its stockholders. If Inland Diversified fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. However, even if the program qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, property or its net worth and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

(A)For the 1031 Exchange Programs, depreciation and amortization and tax data are calculated by each individual investor based on their individual basis.
(B)For tax purposes, this sale qualified as part of a tax-deferred exchange. As a result, no taxable gain will be recognized until the replacement property is disposed of in a subsequent taxable transaction.
(C)These programs, with the exception of IRRETI, are 1031 exchange programs, and thus are not required to prepare their financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Accordingly, these programs maintain their books on a cash basis. Therefore, the source of distributions is presented on a cash basis for these seven entities.

Item 32. Sales to Special Parties.

Inland Securities or any of its or our directors, officers, employees or affiliates, or any family members of those individuals (including spouses, parents, grandparents, children and siblings), may purchase shares net of sales commissions and the marketing contribution for $9.00 per share. Each soliciting dealer and any of their respective directors, officers, employees or affiliates may purchase shares net of selling commissions for $9.30 per share. All purchases of common stock by Inland Securities or any soliciting dealer must be made in accordance with FINRA regulations, including without limitation Rule 5130.

Item 33. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

On August 25, 2011, we issued 20,000 shares of our common stock for $10.00 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $200,000, to Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation, our sponsor, in connection with our formation. No sales commission or other consideration was paid in connection with the sale. The sale was consummated without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act as transactions not involving any public offering. On October 26, 2012, we issued approximately 222,222 shares of our common stock for $9.00 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000, to our sponsor in the offering and in accordance with the provisions governing special sales. Together with our sponsor’s August 25, 2011 purchase of 20,000 shares of our common stock for $10.00 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $200,000, made in connection with our formation, our sponsor has invested $2,200,000 and received approximately 242,222 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Item 34. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Article XIII of our charter provides as follows:

Section 13.3 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth under Maryland law and in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 13.3, the company shall indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, pay, advance or reimburse reasonable expenses to any director, officer and employee of the company and the Business Manager and the Real Estate Managers and each of their affiliates (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any liability or loss to which the Indemnified Party may become subject or which the Indemnified Party may incur by reason of his, her or its service as a director, officer or employee of the company, the Business Manager, the Real Estate Managers and their respective affiliates.

(b) The company shall not indemnify an Indemnified Party unless: (i) the directors have determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interest of the company; (ii) the Indemnified Party was acting on behalf of or performing services on the part of the company; (iii) the liability or loss was not the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct by any independent director or negligence or misconduct by any other Indemnified Party (excluding the independent directors); and (iv) the indemnification is recoverable only out of the Net Assets of the company and not from the stockholders.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.3(b) hereof, the company shall not indemnify a director, officer or employee of the company or the Business Manager or any Real Estate Manager or their affiliates for losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged material securities law violations as to the particular person; (ii) the claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular person; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made and the court considering the request has been advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the published opinions of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

(d) The company shall advance amounts to an Indemnified Party for legal and other expenses and costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought, only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services by the person, for or on behalf of the company; (ii) the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder or the legal action is initiated by a stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves advancement; and (iii) the Indemnified Party receiving advances undertakes in writing to repay the advanced funds to the company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such party is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

II-2
 

(e) The company shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance or provide similar protection on behalf of an Indemnified Party against any liability or loss asserted that was incurred in any such capacity with the company or arising out of such status. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver by any Indemnified Party of any right which he, she or it may have against any party under federal or state securities laws. The company shall also have power to enter into any contract for indemnity and advancement of expenses with a director, officer, employee or agent to the extent consistent with law and this charter.

The Maryland General Corporation Law requires a Maryland corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity and provides that a Maryland corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent made or threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of service in that capacity unless it has been established that (1) the act or omission was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (a) was committed in bad faith or (b) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; or (2) the individual actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property, or services; or (3) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the individual had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

A court may order indemnification if it determines that the individual is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, even though the individual did not meet the prescribed standard of conduct or was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received. However, indemnification for an adverse judgment in a suit by us or in our right, or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, is limited to expenses. The Maryland General Corporation Law permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director, officer, employee or agent upon the corporation’s receipt of (x) a written affirmation by the individual of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (y) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met.

Our bylaws provide that neither the amendment, nor the repeal, nor the adoption of any other provision of the charter or the bylaws will apply to or affect, in any respect, the indemnitee’s right to indemnification for actions or failures to act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption. To the extent that the indemnification may apply to liabilities arising under the Act, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is contrary to public policy and, therefore, unenforceable.

We may purchase and maintain insurance or provide similar protection on behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent against any liability incurred in any such capacity with us or on our behalf. We may enter into any contract requiring us to indemnify and advance expenses with any director, officer, employee or agent as may be determined by the board and as permitted by our charter.

(b) Exhibits: The list of exhibits filed as part of this Registration Statement on Form S-11 is set forth on the Exhibit Index following the signature pages hereto.

Item 37. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

II-4
 

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) That all post-effective amendments will comply with the applicable forms, rules and regulations of the Commission in effect at the time such post-effective amendments are filed.

(4) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(5) That, for purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The registrant undertakes to send to each stockholder at least on annual basis a detailed statement of any transactions with the advisor or its affiliates, and of fees, commissions, compensation and other benefits paid, or accrued to the advisor or its affiliates for the fiscal year completed, showing the amount paid or accrued to each recipient and the services performed.

II-5
 

(c) The registrant undertakes to provide to the stockholders the financial statements required by Form 10-K for the first full fiscal year of operations of the company.

(d) (1) During the distribution period, the registrant undertakes to file a sticker supplement pursuant to Rule 424(c) under the Act to describe each “significant” property that has not been identified in the prospectus whenever a reasonable probability exists that the property will be acquired.  For these purposes, an individual property will be considered “significant” if (i) it is acquired from a related party; (ii)  as of the date of acquisition, it was equal to or greater than 10% of the registrant’s total assets on its last balance sheet, giving effect to any property acquisitions that were probable or completed since the date of its last balance sheet; or (iii) it is one of a group of properties that (A) together aggregate an amount equal to or greater than 10% of the registrant’s total assets on its last balance sheet, giving effect to any property acquisitions that were probable or completed since the date of its last balance sheet or (B) are related.  The registrant undertakes to consolidate all such stickers into a post-effective amendment filed at least once every three months, with the information contained in such amendment provided simultaneously to the existing stockholders. Each sticker supplement should disclose all compensation and fees received by the advisor and its affiliates in connection with any such acquisition. The post-effective amendment shall include audited financial statements meeting the requirements of Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X only for significant properties acquired during the distribution period that have been reported and filed, or are required to be filed, on Form 8-K.

(2) The registrant also undertakes to file, after the end of the distribution period, a current report on Form 8-K containing the financial statements and any additional information required by Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, to reflect each commitment (i.e., the signing of a binding purchase agreement) made after the end of the distribution period involving the use of 10% or more (on a cumulative basis) of the net proceeds of the offering and to provide the information contained in such report to the stockholders at least once each quarter after the distribution period of the offering has ended.

(e) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(A) “Other Cash Expenditures Capitalized” consists of improvements to the property and acquisition costs which are capitalized and paid or to be paid from the proceeds of the offering. All costs related to the initial acquisition are capitalized. As part of several purchases, rent is received under master lease agreements on the spaces currently vacant for periods ranging from one to two years or until the spaces are leased. As these payments are received, they are recorded as a reduction in the purchase price of the properties and have been netted against other cash expenditures capitalized.

 

(B) “Total Acquisition Cost” is the sum of columns captioned “Purchase Price Plus Acquisition Fee” and “Other Cash Expenditures Capitalized.”

 

(C) Properties listed within this Table as acquired by Inland Real Estate Corporation (“IRC”) are limited to stabilized operating properties, excluding unconsolidated joint ventures. IRC also has invested in joint ventures that invest in operating properties and developments. As of December 31, 2012, IRC had investment in development projects that are in various stages of pre-development and development of $13.6 million, net of impairment charges. The development properties are encumbered by approximately $8.7 million of debt.

 

(D) Properties listed within this Table as acquired by Retail Properties of America, Inc. (“RPAI”) are limited to stabilized operating properties. RPAI also has invested in numerous development properties, both wholly-owned and through various joint ventures (consolidated and unconsolidated). RPAI entered into one development joint venture during the three years ended December 31, 2010. RPAI contributed approximately $9.1 million as initial capital to this development property and contributed approximately $2.2 million in additional capital as development on this property is completed. This joint venture is encumbered by approximately $11.3 million of construction debt, consisting of approximately $5.3 million used in the acquisition of development land and approximately $6.0 million for ongoing construction. During the three years ended December 31, 2010, RPAI funded additional capital of $22.4 million on developments entered into during 2007 or prior. These developments are encumbered by approximately $95.8 million of construction debt. Of this debt, $31.9 million was used for the acquisition of development land and approximately $72.1 million for ongoing construction.

 

(E) With respect to those properties acquired by Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. (“Inland American”), “Other Cash Expenditures Capitalized” consists of improvements to the property and acquisition expenses which are capitalized and paid or to be paid from the proceeds of the offering. Several properties have earnout components, meaning portions of these properties that were not rent producing were not paid for at the initial close. As the earnout fundings are made, they are recorded as an additional purchase price of the properties and included in Other Cash Expenditures Capitalized.

 

(F) Properties listed within this Table as acquired by Inland American are limited to stabilized operating properties. Inland American also has invested joint ventures that invest in operating properties, developments and real estate loans. During the three years ended December 31, 2012, Inland American has contributed approximately $57 million to these ventures. The joint ventures are encumbered by approximately $1.1 billion of debt. Finally, during the three years ended December 31, 2012, Inland American invested in the marketable securities of other REIT entities, in an aggregate amount equal to approximately $58 million.
