L.P. Initiated--LP has removed original GP and is selling the GP rights • Positives • Single point of negotiation • Same goal of moving towards a closing • Rarely involved personnel issues
L.P. Initiated Continued • Negatives • Often challenged properties are paired with performing…the Good, the Bad and the Ugly…dealing with negative capital accounts, and foreclosure risk. • Non-affiliated, or Non-profit partners that need to consent, may feel cut out of the transaction.
L.P. Initiated Continued • Mechanics • Fairly straight forward accounting issues, without many surprises. • LP understands the tax and accounting issues.
G.P. Initiated-- Successful GP is looking to sell their various economic interests • Positives – It’s a deal! That is Always A Plus… • Usually represented by professional who can manage the process and expectations…It is not closing in 30 days! • Some opportunities to add talented staff to your organization
G.P. Initiated Continued • Negatives – The Consent Process… • The LP approval – The need to improve upon their current position, and settle up with the departing GP. • Does The LP Approval change the economics for the buyer, or seller? How to “adjust” and not renegotiate. • Pushing on a string – No control on timing; motivating the required consenting parties.
G.P. Initiated Continued • Mechanics – Not So Straight Forward… • Price allocations – Hot Assets (deferred developer fee) GP Interests, receivables. • Reinterpreting the Partnership Agreement; Are the receivables, really capital? • Cleansing the Balance Sheet – Proration of expenses, capex requirements – whose dime? • Controlling slippage – Declining operations associated with protracted closings
