Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

We previously entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement dated February 16, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Dealer Manager Agreement dated June 17, 2016 and Amendment No. 2 to Dealer Manager Agreement dated February 13, 2017, or collectively, the Dealer Manager Agreement, with Griffin Capital Securities, LLC, or our dealer manager, and Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV Advisor, LLC, or our advisor, in connection with our initial public offering.

On March 29, 2017, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to Dealer Manager Agreement, or the Third Amendment, with our dealer manager and advisor. The material terms of the Third Amendment amend the Dealer Manager Agreement to provide for a maximum amount of the dealer manager fee to be paid on the sale of shares of common stock offered pursuant to the primary portion of our initial public offering of: (a) up to a maximum of 1.5% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares of Class I common stock, or Class I shares, all of which will be funded by our advisor, and (b) up to a maximum of 3.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares of Class T common stock, or Class T shares, of which 1.0% of the gross offering proceeds will be funded by us and up to 2.0% of the gross offering proceeds will be funded by our advisor. The Third Amendment also provides for a corresponding reduction in the purchase price of Class I shares and Class T shares to the extent that the dealer manager fee is less than 1.5% of the gross offering proceeds for any Class I shares sold and less than 3.0% of the gross offering proceeds for any Class T shares sold. Additionally, the Third Amendment provides for a maximum amount of the stockholder servicing fee to be paid on the sale of Class T shares sold in our initial public offering of up to a maximum of 4.0% of the gross offering proceeds from such sale of Class T shares, which will accrue daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1.0% of the purchase price per Class T share sold, excluding Class T shares sold pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the stockholder servicing fee may be reduced or limited by agreement with certain dealers.

The Third Amendment also amends the Participating Dealer Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit A to the Dealer Manager Agreement, to provide for a maximum amount of the stockholder servicing fee to be paid to the participating dealer on the sale of Class T shares sold in our initial public offering of up to a maximum of 4.0% of the gross offering proceeds from such sale of Class T shares, which will accrue daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1.0% of the purchase price per Class T share sold, excluding Class T shares sold pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. Also, pursuant to the Third Amendment, the stockholder servicing fee may be reduced or limited by agreement with the dealer.

No material terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement were amended by the Third Amendment, other than as set forth above. The material terms of the agreement discussed above are qualified in their entirety by the Third Amendment incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
