The Manager and Sub-Manager, along with certain affiliates of the Manager or Sub-Manager, will receive fees and compensation in connection with the Offerings, as well as the acquisition, management and sale of the assets of the Company, as follows:
Dealer Manager/Placement Agent
Commissions — Under the Public Offering, the Company pays CNL Securities Corp. (the “Managing Dealer” in connection with the Public Offering and the “Placement Agent” in connection with the Class FA Private Offerings and Class S Private Offering), an affiliate of the Manager, a selling commission up to 6.00% of the sale price for each Class A share and 3.00% of the sale price for each Class T share sold in the Public Offering (excluding sales pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan). Under the Follow-On Class FA Private Offering, the Company paid the Placement Agent a selling commission of up to 5.50% of the sale price for each Class FA share sold. There was no selling commission for the sale of Class FA shares in the Class FA Private Offering. Under the Class S Private Offering, the Company pays the Placement Agent a selling commission of up to 2.00% of the sale price for each Class S shares sold. The Managing Dealer/Placement Agent may reallow all or a portion of the selling commissions to participating broker-dealers.
Dealer Manager Fee/Placement Agent — Under the Public Offering, the Company pays the Managing Dealer a dealer manager fee of up to 2.50% of the price of each Class A share and 1.75% of the price of each Class T share sold in the Public Offering (excluding sales pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan). Under the Follow-On Class FA Private Offering, the Company paid the Placement Agent a placement agent fee of up to 3.00% of the price of each Class FA share sold. There was no placement agent fee for the sale of Class FA shares sold in the Class FA Private Offering. Under the Class S Private Offering, the Company pays the Placement Agent a placement fee of up to 1.5% of the price of each Class S share sold. The Managing Dealer/Placement Agent may reallow all or a portion of such dealer manager/placement agent fees to participating broker-dealers.
Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee — Under the Public Offering, the Company pays the Managing Dealer a distribution and shareholder servicing fee, subject to certain limits, with respect to its Class T and Class D shares (excluding Class T shares and Class D shares sold through the distribution reinvestment plan and those received as share distributions) in an annual amount equal to 1.00% and 0.50%, respectively, of its current net asset value per share, as disclosed in its periodic or current reports, payable on a monthly basis. The distribution and shareholder servicing fee accrues daily and is paid monthly in arrears. The Managing Dealer may reallow all or a portion of the distribution and shareholder servicing fee to the broker-dealer who sold the Class T or Class D shares or, if applicable, to a servicing broker-dealer of the Class T or Class D shares or a fund supermarket platform featuring Class D shares, so long as the broker-dealer or financial intermediary has entered into a contractual agreement with the Managing Dealer that provides for such reallowance. The distribution and shareholder servicing fee is an ongoing fee that is allocated among all Class T and Class D shares, respectively, and is not paid at the time of purchase.
Manager and/or Sub-Manager
Organization and Offering Costs — Under the Offerings, the Company reimburses the Manager and the Sub-Manager, along with their respective affiliates, for the organization and offering costs (other than selling commissions and placement agent / dealer manager fees) they have incurred on the Company’s behalf only to the extent that such expenses do not exceed (A) 1.0% of the cumulative gross proceeds from the Class FA Private Offerings and the Class S Private Offering (collectively, the “Private Offerings”), and (B) 1.5% of the cumulative gross proceeds from the Public Offering. The Company incurred an obligation to reimburse the Manager and Sub-Manager for approximately $0.2 million in organization and offering costs based on actual amounts raised through the Offerings during each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The Manager and the Sub-Manager have incurred additional organization and offering costs of approximately $5.5 million on behalf of the Company in connection with the Offerings (exceeding the respective limitations) as of March 31, 2020. These costs will be recognized by the Company in future periods as the Company receives future offering proceeds from its Public Offering and Private Offerings to the extent such costs are within the 1.5% and 1.0% limitations, respectively.
Base Management Fee to Manager and Sub-Manager — The Company pays each of the Manager and the Sub-Manager 50% of the total base management fee for their services under the Management Agreement and the Sub-Management Agreement, subject to any reduction or deferral of any such fees pursuant to the terms of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement described below. The Company incurred base management fees of approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The base management fee is calculated for each share class at an annual rate of (i) for the Non-founder shares of a particular class, 2% of the product of (x) the Company’s average gross assets and (y) the ratio of Non-founder share Average Adjusted Capital (as defined below), for a particular class to total Average Adjusted Capital and (ii) for the Founder shares of a particular class, 1% of the product of (x) the Company’s average gross assets and (y) the ratio of outstanding Founder share Average Adjusted Capital for a particular class to total Average Adjusted Capital, in each case excluding cash, and will be payable monthly in arrears. The management fee for a certain month is calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of that month and the immediately preceding calendar month. The determination of gross assets reflects changes in the fair market value of the Company’s assets, which does not necessarily equal their notional value, reflecting both realized and unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Average Adjusted Capital of an applicable class is computed on the daily Adjusted Capital for such class for the actual number of days in such applicable month. The base management fee may be reduced or deferred by the Manager and the Sub-Manager under the Management Agreement and the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement described below. For purposes of this calculation, “Average Adjusted Capital” for an applicable class is computed on the daily Adjusted Capital for such class for the actual number of days in such applicable quarter. “Adjusted Capital” is defined as cumulative proceeds generated from sales of the Company’s shares of a particular share class (including proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan, if any), net of sales load (upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees), if any, reduced for the full amounts paid for share repurchases pursuant to any share repurchase program, if any, for such class.
Total Return Incentive Fee on Income to the Manager and Sub-Manager — The Company also pays each of the Manager and the Sub-Manager 50% of the total return incentive fee for their services under the Management Agreement and the Sub-Management Agreement. The Company did not incur total return incentive fees during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
The total return incentive fee is based on the Total Return to Shareholders (as defined below) for each share class in any calendar year, payable annually in arrears. The Company accrues (but does not pay) the total return incentive fee on a quarterly basis, to the extent that it is earned, and performs a final reconciliation and makes required payments at completion of each calendar year. The total return incentive fee may be reduced or deferred by the Manager and the Sub-Manager under the Management Agreement and the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement described below. For purposes of this calculation, “Total Return to Shareholders” for any calendar quarter is calculated for each share class as the change in the net asset value for such share class plus total distributions for such share class calculated based on the Average Adjusted Capital for such class as of such calendar quarter end. The terms “Total Return to Non-founder Shareholders” and “Total Return to Founder Shareholders” means the Total Return to Shareholders specifically attributable to each particular share class of Non-founder shares or Founder shares, as applicable.
The total return incentive fee for each share class is calculated as follows:
No total return incentive fee will be payable in any calendar year in which the annual Total Return to Shareholders of a particular share class does not exceed 7% (the “Annual Preferred Return”).
As it relates to the Non-founder shares, all of the Total Return to Shareholders with respect to each particular share class of Non-founder shares, if any, that exceeds the annual preferred return, but is less than or equal to 8.75%, or the “Non-founder breakpoint,” in any calendar year, will be payable to the Manager (“Non-founder Catch Up”). The Non-Founder Catch Up is intended to provide an incentive fee of 20% of the Total Return to Non-founder Shareholders of a particular share class once the Total Return to Non-founder Shareholders of a particular class exceeds 8.75% in any calendar year.
As it relates to Founder shares, all of the Total Return to Founder Shareholders with respect to each particular share class of Founder shares, if any, that exceeds the annual preferred return, but is less than or equal to 7.777%, or the “founder breakpoint,” in any calendar year, will be payable to the Manager (“Founder Catch Up”). The Founder Catch Up is intended to provide an incentive fee of 10% of the Total Return to Founder Shareholders of a particular share class once the Total Return to Founder Shareholders of a particular class exceeds 7.777% in any calendar year.
For any quarter in which the Total Return to Shareholders of a particular share class exceeds the relevant breakpoint, the total return incentive fee of a particular share class shall equal, for Non-founder shares, 20% of the Total Return to Non-founder Shareholders of a particular class, and for Founder shares, 10% of the Total Return to Founder Shareholders of a particular class, in each case because the annual preferred and relevant catch ups will have been achieved.
For purposes of calculating the Total Return to Shareholders, the change in the Company’s net asset value is subject to a High Water Mark. The “High Water Mark” is equal to the highest year-end net asset value, for each share class of the Company since inception, adjusted for any special distributions resulting from the sale of the Company’s assets, provided such adjustment is approved by the Company’s board of directors. If, as of each calendar year end, the Company’s net asset value for the applicable share class is (A) above the High Water Mark, then, for such calendar year, the Total Return to Shareholders calculation will include the increase in the Company’s net asset value for such share class in excess of the High Water Mark, and (B) if the Company’s net asset value for the applicable share class is below the High Water Mark, for such calendar year, (i) any increase in the Company’s per share net asset value will be disregarded in the calculation of Total Return to Shareholders for such share class while (ii) any decrease in the Company’s per share net asset value will be included the calculation of Total Return to Shareholders for such share class. For the year ending December 31, 2019, the High Water Marks were $26.65 for Class FA shares, $26.44 for Class A shares, $26.54 for Class T shares, $26.23 for Class D shares and $26.55 for Class I shares. For the year ending December 31, 2020, the High Water Marks will be $27.64 for Class FA shares, $26.91 for Class A shares, $27.01 for Class T shares, $26.61 for Class D shares, $27.15 for Class I shares and $27.64 for Class S shares.
For purposes of this calculation, “Average Adjusted Capital” for an applicable class is computed on the daily Adjusted Capital for such class for the actual number of days in such applicable quarter. The annual preferred return of 7% and the relevant breakpoints of 8.75% and 7.777%, respectively, are also adjusted for the actual number of days in each calendar year, measured as of each calendar quarter end.
Reimbursement to Manager and Sub-Manager for Operating Expenses — The Company reimburses the Manager and the Sub-Manager and their respective affiliates for certain operating costs and expenses of third parties incurred in connection with their provision of services to the Company, including fees, costs, expenses, liabilities and obligations relating to the Company’s activities, acquisitions, dispositions, financings and business, subject to the terms of the Company’s limited liability company agreement, the Management Agreement, the Sub-Management Agreement and the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement (as defined below). The Company does not reimburse the Manager and Sub-Manager for administrative services performed by the Manager or Sub-Manager for the benefit of the Company.
Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement — The Company entered into an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement with the Manager and the Sub-Manager (the “Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement”), which became effective on February 7, 2018, pursuant to which each of the Manager and the Sub-Manager agrees to reduce the payment of base management fees, total return incentive fees and the reimbursements of reimbursable expenses due to the Manager and the Sub-Manager under the Management Agreement and the Sub-Management Agreement, as applicable, to the extent that the Company’s annual regular cash distributions exceed its annual net income (with certain adjustments). The amount of such expense support is equal to the annual (calendar year) excess, if any, of (a) the distributions (as defined in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement) declared and paid (net of the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan) to shareholders minus (b) the available operating funds, as defined in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement (the “Expense Support”). The Company recorded expense support due from the Manager and Sub-Manager of approximately $0.6 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Expense support is paid by the Manager and Sub-Manager annually in arrears.
The Expense Support amount is borne equally by the Manager and the Sub-Manager and is calculated as of the last business day of the calendar year. Until the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement is terminated, the Manager and Sub-Manager shall equally conditionally reduce the payment of fees and reimbursements of reimbursable expenses in an amount equal to the conditional waiver amount (as defined in and subject to limitations described in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement). The term of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement has the same initial term and renewal terms as the Management Agreement or the Sub-Management Agreement, as applicable, to the Manager or the Sub-Manager.
If, on the last business day of the calendar year, the annual (calendar year) year-to-date available operating funds exceeds the sum of the annual (calendar year) year-to-date distributions paid per share class (the “Excess Operating Funds”), the Company uses such Excess Operating Funds to pay the Manager and the Sub-Manager all or a portion of the outstanding unreimbursed Expense Support amounts for each share class, as applicable, subject to certain conditions (the “Conditional Reimbursements”) as described further in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement. The Company’s obligation to make Conditional Reimbursements shall automatically terminate and be of no further effect three years following the date which the Expense Support amount was provided and to which such Conditional Reimbursement relates, as described further in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement.
As of March 31, 2020, the amount of expense support collected from the Manager and Sub-Manager since inception is approximately $1.8 million. As of March 31, 2020, management believes that reimbursement payments by the Company to the Manager and Sub-Manager are not probable under the terms of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement. The following table reflects the expense support that may become reimbursable, subject to the conditions of reimbursement defined in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement:
