Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions Management Agreement In connection with our initial public offering in September 2009, we entered into a management agreement (the "Management Agreement") with the Manager, which describes the services to be provided by the Manager and its compensation for those services. The Manager is responsible for managing our day-to-day operations, subject to the direction and oversight of our 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 our stockholders’ equity (as defined in the Management Agreement), calculated and payable (in cash) quarterly in arrears. The term of the Management Agreement was automatically renewed for a successive one-year term on September 29, 2022 and will automatically renew 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 our independent directors, based upon (1) unsatisfactory performance by the Manager that is materially detrimental to ARI 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 our 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 of our independent directors in March 2023, which included a discussion of the Manager’s performance and the level of the management fees thereunder, we determined not to seek termination of the Management Agreement. We incurred approximately $9.5 million and $9.4 million in base management fees under the Management Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition to the base management fee, we are also responsible for reimbursing the Manager for certain expenses paid by the Manager on our behalf or for certain services provided by the Manager to us. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we paid expenses totaling $1.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, related to reimbursements for certain expenses paid by the Manager on our behalf under the Management Agreement. Expenses incurred by the Manager and reimbursed by us are reflected in the respective condensed consolidated statement of operations expense category or our condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the nature of the item. Included in payable to related party on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is approximately $9.5 million and $9.7 million, respectively, for base management fees incurred but not yet paid under the Management Agreement. Loans receivable We own three mezzanine loans and a commercial mortgage that are secured by the same ultra-luxury residential property currently under construction in Manhattan, NY. During the third quarter of 2021, a vehicle managed by an affiliate of the Manager transferred its Junior Mezzanine B Loan position to the Company and in connection with this transfer, one of the property’s subordinate capital providers paid the vehicle a price representing the original principal balance on the Junior Mezzanine B Loan position with the vehicle agreeing to forego its accrued interest on the Junior Mezzanine B Loan. During the third quarter of 2022, we refinanced our mezzanine loans, and originated a commercial mortgage loan as part of an overall recapitalization. The mezzanine positions held by entities managed by affiliates of the Manager were repaid. Refer to "Note 4 - Commercial Mortgage Loans, Subordinate Loans and Other Lending Assets, Net" for additional information. During the third quarter of 2022, we transferred £293.4 million ($327.7 million assuming conversion into USD) of unfunded commitments related to a mixed-use development property located in London, UK to entities managed by affiliates of the Manager. During the first quarter of 2023, we transferred interests in, (i) three commercial mortgage loans secured by various properties in Europe, with aggregate commitments of €205.7 million (of which €115.0 million was funded at the time of sale), and (ii) a partial interest of £15.0 million in a commercial mortgage loan secured by a mixed-use property located in London, UK. These transfers were made to entities managed by affiliates of the Manager. Refer to "Note 4 – Commercial Mortgage Loans, Subordinate Loans and Other Lending Assets, Net" for additional disclosure. Term Loan In March 2021, Apollo Global Funding, LLC, an affiliate of the Manager, served as one of the eight arrangers for the issuance of our 2028 Term Loan and received $0.2 million of arrangement fees. In addition, funds managed by an affiliate of the Manager invested in $30.0 million of the 2028 Term Loan. Senior Secured Notes In June 2021, Apollo Global Securities, LLC, an affiliate of the Manager, served as one of the eight initial purchasers in the issuance of our 2029 Notes and received $0.4 million of initial purchasers' discounts and commissions. Italian Direct Lending Structure In the fourth quarter of 2021, we formed an Italian closed-end alternative investment fund (the "AIF"), managed by Apollo Investment Management Europe (Luxembourg) S.A R.L, a regulated alternative investment fund manager (the "AIFM"), an affiliate of the Manager. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the AIF had a balance of $16.8 thousand in fees payable to the AIFM, which is recorded in payable to related party on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The fees incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were de minimis. Atlas Facility On February 8, 2023, in connection with the acquisition by certain subsidiaries of Atlas, which is a wholly-owned investment of a fund managed by an affiliate of the Manager, the Credit Suisse Facility was acquired by Atlas. In order to effect the assignment of the Credit Suisse Facility and related agreements, the Company and one of its subsidiaries, similar to the other sellers and guarantors party to the subject agreements in the Transaction, entered into an Omnibus Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement as well as certain related agreements with Credit Suisse AG and Atlas. At the time of acquisition, we had $632.3 million of secured debt on the Credit Suisse Facility consisting of four commercial mortgage loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, one commercial mortgage loan was added to the Atlas Facility totaling $83 million in secured debt. Refer to "Note 7 – Secured Debt Arrangements, Net" " for additional discussion.
