Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. Announces Change to Form of Certain Fees Paid to its External Advisor
Atlanta, GA, February 22, 2016
Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (NYSE: APTS) ("PAC" or the "Company") today announced that, effective as of January 1, 2016, the Company has replaced the acquisition fee it pays to its external advisor, Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, with a loan coordination fee based on the amount of secured debt either financed or assumed in connection with acquisitions, and with a loan origination fee based on funds committed for loan investments. PAC made these changes to allow the Company to amortize these fees over the life of each of the underlying loans rather than to expense these fees at the time of an acquisition. The Company believes there will be no material change in the aggregate fees paid to its external advisor because of these changes.
