Elimination of Asset Management Fees During Offering Period

 

On November 12, 2012, American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “A&R Advisory Agreement”) with American Realty Capital Healthcare Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) and American Realty Capital Healthcare Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”).

 

Pursuant to the A&R Advisory Agreement, effective October 1, 2012, the following were eliminated: (i) the reduction of the asset management fee to the extent, if any, that the Company’s funds from operations, as adjusted, during the six months ending on the last calendar quarter immediately preceding the date the asset management fee was payable was less than the distributions declared with respect to such six month period and (ii) the payment of asset management fees in cash, shares or restricted stock grants, or any combination thereof to the Advisor.

 

Instead, the Company expects to issue (subject to periodic approval by the board of directors) to the Advisor performance-based restricted partnership units of the Operating Partnership designated as “Class B units,” which are intended to be profits interests and will vest, and no longer be subject to forfeiture, at such time as: (x) the value of the Operating Partnership’s assets plus all distributions made equals or exceeds the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a 6% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded annual return thereon (the “economic hurdle”); (y) any one of the following occurs: (1) the termination of the A&R Advisory Agreement by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's independent directors without cause; (2) a listing; or (3) another liquidity event; and (z) the Advisor is still providing advisory services to the Company (the “performance condition”). Such Class B units will be forfeited immediately if: (a) the A&R Advisory Agreement is A&R Advisory Agreement is terminated by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's independent directors without cause before the economic hurdle has been met. When and if approved by the board of directors, the Class B units are expected to be issued to the Advisor quarterly in arrears pursuant to the terms of the A&R Limited Partnership Agreement (as defined below).

 

The Advisor will receive distributions on unvested Class B units equal to the distribution rate received on the Company's common stock No Class B units have been approved by the board of directors or issued as of September 30, 2012 or through the date of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

In connection with the changes as described above, the Operating Partnership has entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, dated as of November 12, 2012 (the “A&R Limited Partnership Agreement”).

 

Copies of the A&R Limited Partnership Agreement and the A&R Advisory Agreement were attached as Exhibits 4.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 13, 2012 and are incorporated herein by reference.
