MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
On February 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with Richard C. Green, Rick Kreul, Rebecca M. Sandring, Sean DeGon, Jeff Teeven, Jeffrey E. Fulmer, David J. Schulte (as Trustee of the DJS Trust under Trust Agreement dated July 18, 2016), and Campbell Hamilton, Inc., which is an entity controlled by David J. Schulte (collectively, the "Contributors"), and Corridor InfraTrust Management, LLC ("Corridor" or the "Manager"), the Company's external manager. Consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Contribution Agreement will result in the internalization of the Manager (the "Internalization"), subject to stockholder approval. Following the Internalization, the Company will own all material assets of Corridor currently used in the conduct of its business and will be managed by officers and employees who currently work for the Manager and who are expected to become employees of the Company as a result of the Internalization.
In payment of the aggregate Internalization consideration (the "Internalization Consideration"), subject to approval by the Company's stockholders in compliance with NYSE rules, the Company will issue to the Contributors, on a pro rata basis (i) 1,153,846 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 683,761 shares of the newly created Class B Common Stock, and (iii) 170,213 depositary shares of Series A Preferred (collectively with the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, the "REIT Stock").
Contemporaneously with execution of the Contribution Agreement, the Company and Corridor entered into the First Amendment (the "First Amendment") to the Management Agreement dated as of May 8, 2015 (as amended, the "Management Agreement") that has the effect, beginning February 1, 2021, of (i) eliminating the management fee, (ii) providing a one-time, $1.0 million advance to Corridor to fund bonus payments to its employees in connection with the Internalization and (iii) providing payments to Corridor for actual employee compensation and office related expenses. Further, the First Amendment provides that, beginning April 1, 2021, the Company will pay Corridor additional cash fees equivalent to the aggregate amount of all distributions that would accrue, if declared, on and after such date with respect to the securities to be issued as the Internalization Consideration pursuant to the Contribution Agreement (an amount, assuming payment on a cash basis equal to approximately $172 thousand per quarter). This agreement is in effect until the closing of the Internalization or termination of the Contribution Agreement.
Fees incurred under the Management Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $1.9 million compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the fees incurred include $1.0 million related to a transaction bonus outlined in the Contribution Agreement, $321 thousand for January 2021 management fees under the Management Agreement and $608 thousand for reimbursement of Corridor employee compensation and office related expenses under the First Amendment. The Company also reimbursed Corridor for approximately $50 thousand in legal fees incurred in connection with the Internalization and paid investment advisors $1.9 million in connection with the execution of the Contribution Agreement. Fees incurred under the Management Agreement are reported in the general and administrative line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company pays its administrator, Corridor, pursuant to an Administrative Agreement. Fees incurred under the Administrative Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $13 thousand compared to $64 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Fees incurred under the Administrative Agreement are reported in the general and administrative line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
