Related Person Transactions | Note 10. Related Person Transactions We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with Five Star, RMR LLC, its parent, RMR Inc., and others related to them, including other companies to which RMR LLC provides management services and which have trustees, directors and officers who are also trustees, directors or officers of us, RMR Inc. or RMR LLC. For further information about these and other such relationships and certain other related person transactions, please refer to our Annual Report and our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on June 8, 2015. Five Star: Five Star was previously our 100% owned subsidiary until it was spun out to our shareholders as a special distribution in 2001. As of June 30, 2015, we owned 4,235,000 of Five Star’s common shares, representing approximately 8.6% of Five Star’s outstanding common shares, and we are Five Star’s largest shareholder. As of June 30, 2015, we leased 180 senior living communities to Five Star. We recognized total rental income from Five Star of $47,753 and $47,618 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $95,443 and $95,124 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of July 2015 and 2014, we received estimated percentage rent payments from Five Star of $2,824 and $2,819 for the first six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We determine actual percentage rent due under our Five Star leases annually and recognize any resulting amount as rental income at year end when all contingencies are met. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, pursuant to the terms of our leases with Five Star, we purchased $9,392 and $17,423, respectively, of improvements made to properties leased to Five Star, and, as a result, the annual rent payable to us by Five Star increased by approximately $757 and $1,394, respectively. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our rents receivable from Five Star were $15,918 and $17,310, respectively, and those amounts are included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. In February 2015, we and Five Star sold a vacant senior living community that was leased to Five Star for a sale price of $250; and, as a result of this sale, Five Star’s annual minimum rent payable to us decreased by $23 in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease. In July 2015, we and Five Star sold a senior living community that was leased to Five Star for a sale price of $155; and, as a result of this sale, Five Star’s annual minimum rent payable to us decreased by $16 in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease. In August 2015, we and Five Star sold a senior living community that was leased to Five Star for $850; and, as a result of this sale, Five Star’s annual minimum rent payable to us decreased by $85 in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease. As of June 30, 2015, Five Star managed 60 senior living communities for our account; as of June 30, 2014, Five Star managed 44 senior living communities for our account. Pursuant to our management agreements with Five Star, we incurred management fees of $2,699 and $2,433 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $5,222 and $4,857 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, with respect to the communities Five Star manages. These amounts are included in property operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. In connection with our acquisition of 37 senior living communities in May 2015 described in Note 3, we terminated the pre-existing management agreements for 14 of these communities, with 838 living units, and entered into 14 separate management agreements with Five Star for it to manage these communities for our account. The economic terms of these management agreements are substantially similar to our other management agreements with Five Star for senior living communities including assisted living units. In May 2015, we acquired one senior living community with 40 private pay independent living units for a contractual purchase price of approximately $9,750, excluding closing costs, using a TRS structure. This senior living community is adjacent to another community that we own which is managed by Five Star. The operations of t his community and the community already owned are conducted as a single integrated community under the same management agreement. Pursuant to the sublease agreement between one of our TRSs and D&R Yonkers LLC, D&R Yonkers LLC incurred rent expense of $752 and $730 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1,504 and $1,460 in rent for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. D&R Yonkers LLC is owned by our officers in order to accommodate certain state licensing requirements. Five Star manages the senior living community to which the sublease agreement relates. Acquisition of Interest in our Manager: On June 5, 2015, we and three other real estate investment trusts, or REITs, to which RMR LLC provides management services – Government Properties Income Trust, or GOV, Hospitality Properties Trust, or HPT, and SIR, and collectively with GOV and HPT, the Other REITs – participated in a transaction, or the Up-C Transaction, by which we and the Other REITs each acquired an interest in RMR Inc. The Up-C Transaction was completed pursuant to a transaction agreement by and among us, our manager, RMR LLC, its then sole member, Reit Management & Research Trust, or RMR Trust, and RMR Inc. and similar transaction agreements that each Other REIT entered into with RMR LLC, RMR Trust and RMR Inc. RMR Trust is owned by our Managing Trustees, Barry and Adam Portnoy. Pursuant to these transactions agreements: we contributed to RMR Inc. 2,345,000 of our common shares, valued at the volume weighted average trading prices during the 20 days prior to the acquisition, and $13,967 in cash; GOV contributed to RMR Inc. 700,000 of its common shares and $3,917 in cash; HPT contributed to RMR Inc. 1,490,000 of its common shares and $12,622 in cash; SIR contributed to RMR Inc. 880,000 of its common shares and $15,880 in cash; RMR Trust contributed to RMR Inc. $11,520 in cash, which RMR Inc. contributed to RMR LLC; RMR LLC issued 1,000,000 of its class B membership units to RMR Inc.; RMR Inc. issued 5,272,787 shares of its class A common stock to us, 1,541,201 shares of its class A common stock to GOV, 5,019,121 shares of its class A common stock to HPT, 3,166,891 shares of its class A common stock to SIR and 1,000,000 shares of its class B-1 common stock and 15,000,000 shares of its class B-2 common stock to RMR Trust; RMR Trust delivered 15,000,000 of the 30,000,000 class A membership units of RMR LLC which RMR Trust then owned to RMR Inc.; and RMR Inc. delivered to RMR Trust our common shares, the common shares of the Other REITs and the cash which had been contributed by us and the Other REITs to RMR Inc. The class A common stock and class B-1 common stock of RMR Inc. share ratably as a single class in dividends and other distributions of RMR Inc. when and if declared by the board of directors of RMR Inc. and have the same rights in a liquidation of RMR Inc. The class B-1 common stock of RMR Inc. is convertible into class A common stock of RMR Inc. on a 1:1 basis. The class A common stock of RMR Inc. has one vote per share. The class B-1 common stock of RMR Inc. has 10 votes per share. The class B-2 common stock of RMR Inc. has no economic interest in RMR Inc., but has 10 votes per share and is paired with the class A membership units of RMR LLC owned by RMR Trust. The class A membership units of RMR LLC owned by RMR Trust are required to be redeemed by RMR LLC upon request by RMR Trust for class A common stock of RMR Inc. on a 1:1 basis, or, if RMR Inc. elects, cash. Under the governing documents of RMR Inc., upon the redemption of a class A membership unit of RMR LLC, the class B-2 common stock of RMR Inc. “paired” with an equal number of class A membership units are cancelled for no additional consideration. As part of the Up-C Transaction and concurrently with entering the transaction agreements, on June 5, 2015:
| · |  | We entered an amended and restated business management agreement, or the amended business management agreement, with RMR LLC and an amended and restated property management agreement, or the amended property management agreement, with RMR LLC. The amendments made by these agreements are described below in this note under “Amendment and Restatement of Management Agreements with RMR LLC.” Each Other REIT also entered amended and restated business and property management agreements with RMR LLC which made similar amendments to their management agreements with RMR LLC.
| · |  | We entered a registration rights agreement with RMR Inc. covering the class A common stock of RMR Inc. that we received in the Up-C Transaction, pursuant to which we received demand and piggyback registration rights, subject to certain limitations. Each Other REIT entered into a similar registration rights agreement with RMR Inc.
| · |  | We entered a lock up and registration rights agreement with RMR Trust and Barry and Adam Portnoy pursuant to which RMR Trust and Barry and Adam Portnoy agreed not to transfer the 2,345,000 common shares RMR Trust received in the Up-C Transaction for a period of 10 years and we granted them certain registration rights, subject to certain limited exceptions. Each Other REIT also entered into a similar lock up and registration rights agreement with RMR Trust and Barry and Adam Portnoy.
As a result of the Up-C Transaction: RMR LLC became a subsidiary of RMR Inc.; RMR Inc. became the managing member of RMR LLC; through our ownership of class A common stock of RMR Inc., we currently have an indirect 17.0% economic interest in RMR LLC; through their ownership of class A common stock of RMR Inc., GOV, HPT and SIR currently have an indirect 5.0%, 16.2% and 10.2% economic interest in RMR LLC, respectively; and RMR Trust through its ownership of 1,000,000 shares of class B-1 common stock of RMR Inc., 15,000,000 shares of class B-2 common stock of RMR Inc. and 15,000,000 class A membership units of RMR LLC currently directly and indirectly has a 51.6% economic interest in RMR LLC and controls 91.4% of the voting power of outstanding capital stock of RMR Inc. Pursuant to the transaction agreements, we and each Other REIT agreed to distribute half of the shares of class A common stock of RMR Inc. received in the Up-C Transaction to our respective shareholders as a special distribution, and RMR Inc. agreed to facilitate this distribution by filing a registration statement with the SEC to register the shares of class A common stock of RMR Inc. to be distributed and by seeking a listing of those shares on a national stock exchange upon the registration statement being declared effective by the SEC. The distribution of class A common stock of RMR Inc. that we and the Other REITs have agreed to make to our and the Other REITs’ shareholders will be made only after a registration statement, including a prospectus, is declared effective by the SEC. Amendment and Restatement of Management Agreements with RMR LLC: As part of the Up-C Transaction, on June 5, 2015, we and RMR LLC entered into the amended business management agreement, which amended and restated our pre-existing business management agreement with RMR LLC, and the amended property management agreement, which amended and restated our pre-existing property management agreement with RMR LLC. Our amended business management agreement and amended property management agreement are referred to together in this Note as our amended management agreements. Our amended management agreements were effective as of June 5, 2015. Our amended management agreements have terms that end on December 31, 2035, and automatically extend on December 31st of each year for an additional year, so that the terms of the agreements thereafter end on the 20th anniversary of the date of the extension. We have the right to terminate each amended management agreement: (i) at any time on 60 days’ written notice for convenience, (ii) immediately upon written notice for cause, as defined therein, (iii) on 60 days’ written notice given within 60 days after the end of any calendar year for a performance reason, as defined therein, and (iv) by written notice during the 12 months following a change of control of RMR LLC, as defined therein. RMR LLC has the right to terminate the amended management agreements for good reason, as defined therein. If we terminate one or both of our amended management agreements for convenience, or if RMR LLC terminates one or both of our amended management agreements for good reason, we have agreed to pay RMR LLC a termination fee in an amount equal to the sum of the present values of the monthly future fees, as defined therein, for the terminated amended management agreement(s) for the remaining term. If we terminate one or both of our amended management agreements for a performance reason, as defined therein, we have agreed to pay RMR LLC the termination fee calculated as described above, but assuming a remaining term of 10 years. We are not required to pay any termination fee if we terminate our amended management agreements for cause or as a result of a change of control of RMR LLC. Accounting for Investment in RMR Inc.: On June, 5, 2015, we acquired 5,272,787 shares of class A common stock, or 33.0%, of RMR Inc. We have concluded, for accounting purposes, that the consideration paid for the investment in RMR Inc.’s class A common shares represented a discount to the fair value of these shares. The value of our comm on shares issued to RMR Inc. is valued differently for accounting purposes than as stated in the respective transaction agreements. The transaction agreements calculate the value of our common shares using a 20 day volume weighted average trading price, or $60,739. For accounting purposes, the common shares are valued at the closing price of those shares on the date of the transaction, or $58,428. We account for this investment under the cost method of accounting and have recorded this investment at a fair value of $136,278 as of June 5, 2015 using Level 3 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP. As a result, we have recorded other liabilities of $77,850. Our investment is included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the carrying value of our investment is $138,839, including transaction costs, as of June 30, 2015. The other liabilities are being amortized on a straight line basis over the 20 year life of the business and property management agreements with RMR LLC as an allocated reduction to business management fees and property management fees, which are included in general and administrative and property operating expenses, respectively, in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Amortization of this other liabilit y, included in general and administrative expense and property operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015, totaled $191 and $51, respectively. RMR LLC Management Fees and Reimbursements: Pursuant to our business management agreement with RMR LLC, the business management fees we recognized were $9,144 and $7,733 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $18,014 and $14,415 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The business management fees we recognized for the 2015 and 2014 periods are included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements. In accordance with the terms of our pre-existing business management agreement, we issued 68,983 and 62,060 of our common shares to RMR LLC for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as payment for portions of the base business management fees we recognized for those periods. Our amended business management agreement requires that 100% of the management fee due to RMR LLC be paid by us in cash. Pursuant to our property management agreement with RMR LLC, the property management fees, including construction supervision fees, we recognized were $2,532 and $2,079 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $4,969 and $3,718 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These amounts are included in property operating expenses or have been capitalized, as appropriate, in our condensed consolidated financial statements and are comprised of fees we recognized under both our pre-existing property management agreement and our amended property management agreement. Pursuant to our previous and amended management agreements with RMR LLC, we are responsible for paying all of the property level operating costs, which costs are generally incorporated into rents charged to our tenants, including certain payroll and related costs incurred by RMR LLC. The total of those property management related reimbursements paid to RMR LLC for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $1,494 and $1,497, respectively, and $3,235 and $2,915 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and these amounts are included in property operating expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements for these periods. In addition, we have historically awarded share grants to certain RMR LLC employees under our equity compensation plan and we accrue estimated amounts for such share grants based upon historical practices throughout the year. The amounts accrued for share grants to RMR LLC employees were $507 and $359 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $908 and $834 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and these amounts are included in our general and administrative expenses for these periods. Leases with RMR LLC: Pursuant to our lease agreements with RMR LLC, we earned rental income from RMR LLC for leased office space of approximately $102 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Of the $102, which was recognized entirely in the second quarter of 2015, $51 relates to retroactive rental income from the first three months of 2015. SIR: On January 29, 2015, we acquired from SIR, entities owning 23 MOBs that SIR acquired when its subsidiary merged with CCIT. Our purchase price for these 23 MOBs was approximately $539,000, excluding closing costs and working capital adjustments and including the assumption of approximately $29,955 of mortgage debt. These 23 MOBs contain approximately 2,170,000 leasable square feet and are located in 12 states. In April 2015, SIR paid to us $8,993 to settle certain working capital activity for the 23 MOBs as of the acquisition date. AIC: As of June 30, 2015, our investment in Affiliates Insurance Company, or AIC, an Indiana insurance company, had a carrying value of $6,903, which amount is included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We recognized income of $23 and $118 related to our investment in AIC for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and income of $95 and $21 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Our other comprehensive income includes unrealized (losses) gains on securities available for sale which are owned by AIC of ($64) and $22 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and ($19) and $41 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In June 2015, we and the other shareholders of AIC renewed our participation in an insurance program arranged by AIC. In connection with that renewal, we purchased a three year combined property insurance policy providing $500,000 of coverage annually with the premium to be paid annually, a one year property insurance policy providing $1,000,000 of coverage for one very large property we own and a one year combined policy providing terrorism coverage of $200,000 for our properties. We currently expect to pay aggregate annual premiums, including taxes and fees, of approximately $4,222 in connection with these policies for the policy year ending June 30, 2016, and this amount may be adjusted from time to time as we acquire and dispose of properties that are included in this insurance program.
