The Company is structured as an Umbrella Partnership REIT (“UPREIT”) and conducts its investment activities through its operating company, Jernigan Capital Operating Company, LLC (the “Operating Company”). Until February 20, 2020, the Company was externally managed by JCAP Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”). On December 16, 2019, the Company, the Operating Company, the Manager, Dean Jernigan, John A. Good and Jonathan Perry entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) providing for the acquisition by the Operating Company of substantially all of the operating assets and liabilities of the Manager (the “Internalization”). A special committee of the Board consisting solely of all of the independent and disinterested directors (the “Special Committee”) negotiated the terms of the Internalization on behalf of the Company and the Operating Company. The Purchase Agreement and the Internalization were unanimously approved by the Special Committee, and, upon recommendation by the Special Committee, by the Company’s Board of Directors. On February 20, 2020, the Company held a special meeting of common stockholders, at which the Company’s common stockholders approved the proposal necessary for the completion of the Internalization.

The Class B OC Units were otherwise identical to Class A OC Units and automatically converted to Class A OC Units following the initial distribution period that ended April 15, 2020. Upon completion of the Internalization, the Company’s current employees, who were previously employed by the Manager, became employees of the Company and the functions previously performed by the Manager were internalized by the Company.
