Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 1, 2019, Black Creek Diversified Property Fund Inc. (referred to herein as “DPF,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), its operating partnership, Black Creek Diversified Property Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”), and its external advisor, Black Creek Diversified Property Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”) entered into an amended and restated advisory agreement (the “Amended Advisory Agreement”), and we entered into an amended and restated limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership (the “Amended Operating Partnership Agreement”). The Operating Partnership also issued to Black Creek Diversified Property Advisors Group LLC (the “Sponsor”), for $1,000 in consideration, 100 partnership units in the Operating Partnership constituting a separate series of partnership interests with special distribution rights, or the “Special Units.”
These agreements were amended, and the Special Units were issued, so that, at the election of the Sponsor, the performance component of the advisory fee previously payable to the Advisor may be paid instead to the Sponsor as a performance participation allocation with respect to the Special Units. Under the Amended Advisory Agreement and Amended Operating Partnership Agreement, if the Sponsor does not elect on or before the first day of a calendar year to have the performance component of the advisory fee paid as a fee to the Advisor, then it will be paid as a distribution on the performance participation interest to the Sponsor, as the holder of the Special Units. In such case, the performance component of the advisory fee will be payable in cash or Class I partnership units of the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”), at the election of the Sponsor. If the Sponsor elects to receive such distributions in Class I OP Units, the number of Class I OP Units to be issued to the Sponsor will be determined by dividing an amount equal to the value of the performance component of the advisory fee by the net asset value per Class I OP Unit as of the date of the distribution. The Sponsor may request the Operating Partnership to repurchase such OP Units from the Sponsor at a later date. Any such repurchase requests will not be subject to any holding period, early redemption deduction, volume limitations or other restrictions that apply to other holders of OP Units under the Amended Operating Partnership Agreement or to our stockholders under our share redemption program. In the event the performance component of the advisory fee is paid in cash to the Sponsor as an allocation and distribution in its capacity as holder of the Special Units, such amount will not be deductible by the Operating Partnership although it will reduce the cash available for distribution to holders of common OP Units and we believe that taxable income allocated to the Sponsor as holder of the Special Units should reduce the amount of taxable income allocable to the holders of common OP Units for the taxable period of the allocation. In addition, in the event the Operating Partnership commences a liquidation of its assets during any calendar year, the Sponsor will be distributed the performance participation allocation as its liquidation distribution, or the Advisor will receive payment of the performance component of the advisory fee, as applicable, prior to the distribution of the remaining liquidation proceeds to the holders of OP Units.
The Special Units do not receive Operating Partnership distributions or allocations except as described above. Holders of Special Units do not share in distributions paid to holders of common OP Units and are not allocated income or losses of the Operating Partnership except to the extent of taxable income allocated to them in their capacity as holders of the Special Units.
