Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions AMTG Merger As fully described in "Note 17- Business Combination", in August 2016, the Company acquired AMTG, an entity managed by an affiliate of Apollo. Management Agreement In connection with the Company’s initial public offering in September 2009, the Company entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with ACREFI Management, LLC (the “Manager”), which describes the services to be provided by the Manager and its compensation for those services. The Manager is responsible for managing the Company’s day-to-day operations, subject to the direction and oversight of the Company’s board of directors. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the Manager is paid a base management fee equal to 1.5% per annum of the Company’s stockholders’ equity (as defined in the Management Agreement), calculated and payable (in cash) quarterly in arrears. The current term of the Management Agreement expires on September 29, 2018 and is automatically renewed for successive one-year terms on each anniversary thereafter. The Management Agreement may be terminated upon expiration of the one-year extension term only upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the Company’s independent directors, based upon (1) unsatisfactory performance by the Manager that is materially detrimental to the Company or (2) a determination that the management fee payable to the Manager is not fair, subject to the Manager’s right to prevent such a termination based on unfair fees by accepting a mutually acceptable reduction of management fees agreed to by at least two-thirds of the Company’s independent directors. The Manager must be provided with written notice of any such termination at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the then existing term and will be paid a termination fee equal to three times the sum of the average annual base management fee during the 24-month period immediately preceding the date of termination, calculated as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the date of termination. Following a meeting by the Company’s independent directors in February 2017, which included a discussion of the Manager’s performance and the level of the management fees thereunder, the Company determined not to seek termination of the Management Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred approximately $7,432 and $5,229, respectively, in base management fees under the Management Agreement. In addition to the base management fee, the Company is also responsible for reimbursing the Manager for certain expenses paid by the Manager on behalf of the Company or for certain services provided by the Manager to the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company paid expenses totaling $117 and $798, respectively, related to reimbursements for certain expenses paid by the Manager on behalf of the Company under the Management Agreement. Expenses incurred by the Manager and reimbursed by the Company are reflected in the respective condensed consolidated statement of operations expense category or the condensed consolidated balance sheet based on the nature of the item. Included in payable to related party on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, are approximately $7,432 and $7,015 for base management fees incurred but not yet paid under the Management Agreement. Concurrently with the execution of the AMTG Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with the Manager, pursuant to which the Manager agreed to perform such services and activities as may be necessary to enable the Company to consummate the AMTG Merger. In consideration of the services provided by the Manager in connection with the AMTG Merger and the process leading to the AMTG Merger, the Company paid the Manager an aggregate amount of $500,000, in monthly installments of $150,000 payable on the first of each calendar month between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the AMTG Merger. Unconsolidated Joint Venture In September 2014, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired a 59% ownership interest in Champ LP following which a wholly-owned subsidiary of Champ LP then acquired a 35% ownership interest in BKB. The Company acquired its ownership interest in Champ LP for an initial purchase price paid at closing of approximately €30,724 (or $39,477). The Company committed to invest up to approximately €38,000 (or $50,000). In January 2015, the Company funded an additional investment of €3,331 (or $3,929) related to its investment in Champ LP. In February 2015, the Company sold approximately 48% of its ownership interest in Champ LP at cost to an account managed by Apollo for approximately €16,314 (or $20,794). In June 2016, the Company transferred €427 of its unfunded commitment to Apollo, reducing its unfunded commitment to Champ LP to €2,802 (or $2,985). Through its interest in Champ LP, as of March 31, 2017, the Company, held an indirect ownership interest of approximately 9.34% in BKB. The Company together with certain other affiliated investors and unaffiliated third party investors, in aggregate, own 100% of BKB.
