Stockholders Entitled to Vote

Anyone who is a stockholder of record at the close of business on May 31, 2019 (the “Record Date”), or who holds a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting, is entitled to receive the accompanying notice and to vote their shares at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 22,809,914 shares of our common stock outstanding. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter properly brought before the Annual Meeting.

HOW TO VOTE IF YOU ARE A STOCKHOLDER OF RECORD

Your vote is important. You can save us the expense of a second mailing by voting promptly.

To vote by proxy, simply mark your proxy card, date and sign it, and return it in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided. Voting by proxy will not limit your right to vote at the Annual Meeting if you decide to attend in person. If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker, or other holder of record, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record to be able to vote at the Annual Meeting.

All proxies that have been properly authorized and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting. If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the shares represented by that proxy will be voted (1) FOR the election of each of the seven nominees for director named below and (2) FOR the ratification of

full board meeting.

EisnerAmper LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2019. With respect to any other business that may properly come before the stockholders for a vote at the Annual Meeting, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the board of directors or, in the absence of such a recommendation, in the discretion of the holders of the proxy.

Required Vote

Each share of common stock outstanding on the Record Date is entitled to one vote on all matters coming before the Annual Meeting. If a share is represented for any purpose at the Annual Meeting, it is deemed to be present for quorum purposes and for all other matters as well. A quorum consists of the presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders entitled to cast one-third of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting. A stockholder may withhold his or her vote in the election of directors or abstain with respect to each other item submitted for stockholder approval. Withheld votes, abstentions, and broker non-votes (discussed below) will be counted as present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum.

A broker “non-vote” occurs when a broker holding stock on behalf of a beneficial owner submits a proxy but does not vote on a non-routine proposal because the broker does not have discretionary power with respect to that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Brokers may not exercise discretionary voting in uncontested director elections at stockholder meetings and are prohibited from giving a proxy to vote with respect to an election of directors without receiving voting instructions from a beneficial owner. Beneficial owners of shares held in broker accounts are advised that, if they do not timely provide instructions to their broker, their shares will not be voted in connection with the election of directors at the Annual Meeting. Please see below for the effect of a broker non-vote on the proposals presented in your proxy.

A majority of the votes present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting is required for the election of each director, provided a quorum is present. This means that, of the shares present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, a director nominee needs to receive affirmative votes from a majority of such shares in order to be elected to the board of directors. Because of this majority vote requirement, withheld votes and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against each nominee for director. If an incumbent director nominee fails to receive the required number of votes for reelection, then under Maryland law, he or she will continue to serve as a “holdover” director until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. If you submit a proxy card with no further instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the board of directors.

Ratification of the appointment of EisnerAmper LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2019 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast at the Annual Meeting, assuming a quorum is present. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the determination of this proposal.

Proxy Voting by Telephone or Internet

Stockholders of record who live in the United States may authorize proxies by following the “Vote by Phone” instructions on their proxy cards. Stockholders of record with Internet access may submit proxies by following the “Vote by Internet” instructions on their proxy cards. The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate the stockholder’s identity and to allow stockholders to authorize a proxy and confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded.

Please refer to the enclosed proxy card for instructions. If you choose not to authorize a proxy by telephone or by Internet, please complete, sign, and return the paper proxy card in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided with this Proxy Statement.

Voting on Other Matters

Our board of directors does not presently intend to bring any business before the Annual Meeting other than the proposal to elect directors and the ratification of the appointment of EisnerAmper LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2019. If other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration, and if you properly submit your vote by proxy, the persons named in the proxy will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we are not aware of any other matters to be raised at the Annual Meeting.

2

Revocation of Proxies

You can revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by:

providing written notice of such revocation to the Secretary of the Company;
signing and submitting a new proxy card with a later date;
authorizing a new proxy by telephone or Internet (your latest telephone or Internet proxy will be counted); or
attending and voting your shares in person at the Annual Meeting. Attending the Annual Meeting will not revoke your proxy unless you specifically request it.

Proxy Solicitation

We will bear the entire cost of this solicitation of proxies, including the preparation, assembly, printing, and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the proxy card and any additional solicitation material that we may provide to stockholders. We have engaged Broadridge to assist in the distribution of proxy materials and the solicitation of proxies for an estimated fee of $2,500 plus reimbursement of reasonable expenses. We may also reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their costs in forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to beneficial owners of our common stock. Apart from the arrangements with Broadridge described above, our officers and employees of LSG-BH II Advisor LLC and LSG Development LLC (collectively, our “Advisor”) or its affiliates may also solicit proxies, but they will not be paid additional compensation for these services.

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to Be Acted On

No director, executive officer, nominee for election as a director, associate of any director, executive officer or nominee or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, through security holdings or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting.

areas of financial reporting, internal controls and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

Although each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire board of directors is regularly informed through committee reports about such risks as well as through regular reports directly from the executive officers responsible for oversight of particular risks to us.

Director Independence

As required by our charter, a majority of the members of our board of directors must qualify as “independent” as affirmatively determined by the board.  Our charter currently defines an “independent director” as a director who is not on the date of determination, and within the last two years from the date of determination has not been, directly or indirectly associated with our sponsor, the Company, our Advisor, Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors II, LLC, our former external advisor (“Behringer Advisor”) or any of their affiliates by virtue of (1) ownership of an interest in our sponsor, our Advisor or any of their affiliates, other than the Company, (2) employment by the Company, our sponsor, our Advisor, Behringer Advisor, or any of their affiliates, (3) servicese vice as an officer or director of our sponsor, our Advisor, Behringer Advisor, or any of their affiliates, other than as a director of the Company, (4) performance of services for the Company, other than as a director of the Company, (5) service as a director or trustee of more than three real estate investment trusts, or “REITs,” organized by our sponsor or advised by our Advisor, or Behringer Advisor, or (6) maintenance of a material business or professional relationship with our Advisor, Behringer Advisor, or any of theirits affiliates.  Serving as an independent director of or receiving independent director fees from or owning an interest in a REIT or other real estate program organized by our sponsor or advised or managed by our Advisor or its affiliates shall not, by itself, cause a director to be deemed associated with our sponsor or our Advisor.  A business or professional relationship is considered “material” under our charter if the aggregate annual gross revenue derived by the director from our sponsor, our Advisor and their affiliates exceeds 5% of either the director’s annual gross income during either of the last two years or the director’s net worth on a fair market value basis.  An indirect association with our Advisor or Behringer Advisor shall include circumstances in which a director’s spouse, parent, child, sibling, mother- or father-in-law, son- or daughter-in-law or brother- or sister-in-law is or has been associated with the Lightstone Group, our Advisor, Behringer Advisor, any of their affiliates or the Company.

Although our shares are not listed for trading on any national securities exchange and therefore our board of directors is not subject to the independence requirements of the NYSE or any other national securities exchange, our board has evaluated whether our directors are “independent” as defined by the NYSE.  The NYSE standards provide that to qualify as an independent director, in addition to satisfying certain bright-line criteria, the board of directors must affirmatively determine that a director has no material relationship with us (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us).

Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and the Company, our senior management and our independent registered public accounting firm, the board has determined that the majority of the members of our board, and each member of our audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee, is “independent” as defined by our charter and the NYSE.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

Since June 2008, we have operated under a board leadership structure with separate roles for our Chairman of the Board and our Principal Executive Officer. Our Chairman of the Board is responsible for setting the agenda for each of the meetings of the board of directors and the annual meetings of stockholders, and our Principal Executive Officer has been responsible for the general management of the business, financial affairs and day-to-day operations of the Company. As our directors continue to have more oversight responsibility, we believe it is beneficial to have a Chairman whose focus is to lead the board and facilitate communication among directors and management. Accordingly, we believe this structure has been the best governance model for the Company and our stockholders to date.

In June 2017 the Company named a lead independent director. We determined to designate a single lead independent director to further facilitate communication among our independent directors and management, including our external advisor. The agenda for each meeting is set by the Chairman in consultation with the lead independent director and management. A majority of our board is comprised of independent directors. Each director has complete and open access to our Advisor, property manager and their respective affiliates. Moreover, our audit committee, compensation committee, and nominating committee are composed entirely of independent directors.

The board of directors oversees risk through (1) its review and discussion of regular periodic reports to the board of directors and its committees, including management reports and studies on existing market conditions, leasing activity and property operating data, as well as actual and projected financial results, and various other matters relating to our business, (2) the required approval by the board of directors of all transactions, including, among others, acquisitions and dispositions of properties, financings and the engagement of our Advisor and property manager, (3) the oversight of our business by the audit, compensation, and nominating committees and (4) regular periodic reports from our independent public accounting firm and other outside consultants regarding various areas of potential risk, including, among others, those relating to the qualification of the Company as a REIT for tax purposes and our internal control over financial reporting.

Meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, the board met eight times and acted by written consent seven times. Each director attended at least 75% of the meetings of the board and, as applicable, the meetings of the committees on which he or she served during 2018. We encourage our directors to attend our annual meeting of stockholders. In 2018, all of our directors attended the annual meeting of stockholders. Our entire board considers all major decisions concerning our business, including any investments we make. However, our board has established committees so that certain functions can be addressed in more depth than may be possible at a full board meeting.

The board of directors has established three permanent committees: the audit committee; the conflicts committee (established in October 2018 by combining the special committee and the compensation committee into one committee composed of all the independent directors); and the nominating committee. Each committee is composed solely of independent directors Andreas K. Bremer, Diane S. Detering-Paddison, Jeffrey F. Joseph, Jeffrey P. Mayer, Cynthia Pharr Lee, and Steven Spinola, each of whom qualifies as “independent” under our charter as well as the NYSE rules and applicable SEC rules. Each committee has adopted a written charter approved by the board of directors. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, the audit committee met four times and the nominating committee acted by consent two times. The conflicts committee did not meet in 2018. Prior to the disbandment of the compensation committee following the formation of the conflicts committee in October 2018, the compensation committees met two times in 2018. The special committee did not meet in 2018.

Audit Committee.

The audit committee’s primary functions are to evaluate and approve the services and fees of our independent registered public accounting firm, to periodically review the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence, to review the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps taken to monitor and minimize those exposures and to assist our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial information to be provided to the stockholders and others, the system of internal controls that management has established and the audit and financial reporting process.  The audit committee is composed solely of independent directors Andreas K. Bremer, Diane S. Detering-Paddison, Jeffrey F. Joseph, Jeffrey P. Mayer, Cynthia Pharr Lee, and Steven Spinola, each of whom qualifies as “independent” under our charter as well as the NYSE rules and applicable SEC rules.  Mr. Mayer is the chairman of the audit committee, and our board of directors has determined that Mr. Mayer is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by the rules of the SEC.

  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the audit committee met four times.
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Our independent public accounting firm is EisnerAmper LLP, Iselin, New Jersey, Auditor Firm ID: 274. We expect that EisnerAmper representatives will be present at the Annual Meeting and they will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so. In addition, we expect that the EisnerAmper representatives will be available to respond to appropriate questions posed by stockholders. The audit committee has engaged EisnerAmper as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2022. The audit committee may, however, select a new independent registered public accounting firm at any time in the future in its discretion if it deems such decision to be in our best interest. Any such decision would be disclosed to our stockholders in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
Our audit committee must approve any fee for services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm in advance of the service being performed. For proposed projects using the services of our independent registered public accounting firm that are expected to cost under $100,000, our audit committee will be provided information to review and must approve each project prior to commencement of any work. For proposed projects using the services of our independent registered public accounting firm that are expected to cost $100,000 and over, our audit committee will be provided with a detailed explanation of what is being included, and asked to approve a maximum amount for specifically identified services in each of the following categories: (1) audit fees; (2) audit-related fees; (3) tax fees; and (4) all other fees for any services allowed to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm. If additional amounts are needed, our audit committee must approve the increased amounts prior to the previously approved maximum being reached and before the work may continue. Approval by our audit committee may be made at its regularly scheduled meetings or otherwise, including by telephonic or other electronic communications. We will report the status of the various types of approved services and fees, and cumulative amounts paid and owed, to our audit committee on a regular basis. Our audit committee has considered the independent registered public accounting firm’s non-audit services provided to us and has determined that such services are compatible with maintaining its independence.  Our audit committee approved all of the services provided by, and fees paid to, EisnerAmper LLP during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

The following table presents the aggregate fees billed to us for the years indicated by our principal accounting firm (amounts in thousands) for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2021:

 2021  2020
 
Audit Fees (a) $356  $354 
Tax Fees (b)  65   57 
Total Fees $421  $411 
___________________________
(a)Fees for audit services consisted of the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, interim reviews of our quarterly consolidated financial statements and services normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings.
(b)Fees for tax services.
Our audit committee considers the provision of these services to be compatible with maintaining the independence of our independent registered accounting firms.
Audit Committee Report
The function of the audit committee is oversight of the financial reporting process on behalf of the board of directors. Management has responsibility for the financial reporting process, including the system of internal control over financial reporting, and for the preparation, presentation and integrity of our financial statements. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm devotes more time and has access to more information than does the audit committee. Membership on the audit committee does not call for the professional training and technical skills generally associated with career professionals in the field of accounting and auditing. Accordingly, in fulfilling their responsibilities, it is recognized that members of the audit committee are not, and do not represent themselves to be, performing the functions of auditors or accountants.
In this context, the audit committee reviewed and discussed the 2021 audited financial statements with management, including a discussion of the quality and acceptability of our financial reporting, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The audit committee discussed with EisnerAmper LLP, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the matters required to be discussed by AS 1301, “Communications with Audit Committees,” as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The audit committee received from EisnerAmper LLP the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding EisnerAmper LLP’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and discussed with EisnerAmper LLP their independence from us. In addition, the audit committee considered whether EisnerAmper LLP’s provision of non-audit services is compatible with EisnerAmper LLP’s independence.
Based on these reviews and discussions, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors that the 2021 audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for filing with the SEC.

The Conflicts Committee.

Our board of directors also has established a conflicts committee to act with respect to all matters when the issue is such that the exercise of independent judgment by directors who are affiliates of the Advisor could reasonably be compromised.  The conflicts committee is composed solely of independent directors Andreas K. Bremer, Diane S. Detering-Paddison, Jeffrey F. Joseph, Jeffrey P. Mayer, Cynthia Pharr Lee, and Steven Spinola.  Mr. Bremer is the chairman of the conflicts committee.
The primary duties of the conflicts committee include reviewing all transactions with the Advisor and its affiliates; supervising and evaluating the performance of the Advisor and its compensation; reviewing our expenses and determining that they are reasonable and within the limits prescribed by our charter; approving borrowings in excess of the total liabilities limit set forth in our charter; reviewing and reporting on our investment policies; and discharging the board of directors’ responsibilities relating to compensation, among other matters required of our independent directors as set forth in our charter.  We note that currently we do not compensate our executive officers, and only our directors who are “independent” as defined by our charter and the NYSE “receivereceive compensation for their services to us.us; we do not compensate our executive officers.  Our executive officers participate in determining the amount of director compensation, and our conflicts committee has not engaged any compensation consultants to recommend or otherwise determine the amount or form of director compensation.

  The conflicts committee met one time in 2021 and acted by consent one time.

Oversight of Executive Compensation
As noted above, the conflicts committee discharges the board of directors’ responsibilities relating to the compensation of our executives. However, we do not have any paid employees and our executive officers do not receive any compensation directly from us. Our executive officers are officers and/or employees of, or hold an indirect ownership interest in, the Advisor and/or its affiliates, and our executive officers are compensated by these entities, in part, for their services to us or our subsidiaries. See “–Related Party Transactions” below for a discussion of the fees paid to the Advisor and its affiliates.
Policies and Procedures for Transactions with Related Persons
We do not currently have written formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions with related persons, as defined by Item 404 of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act. Under that definition, transactions with related persons are transactions in which we were or are a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Related parties include any executive officers, directors, director nominees, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our voting securities, immediate family members of any of the foregoing persons, and any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is employed and in which such person has 10% or greater beneficial ownership interest.
However, in order to reduce or eliminate certain potential conflicts of interest, our charter contains a number of restrictions relating to (1) transactions we enter into with our Advisor and its affiliates, (2) certain future offerings, and (3) allocation of investment opportunities among affiliated entities. As a general rule, any related party transactions must be approved by a majority of the directors (including a majority of independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction. In determining whether to approve or authorize a particular related party transaction, these persons will consider whether the transaction between us and the related party is fair and reasonable to us.
Related Party Transactions
Advisor and Property Manager
Our business is externally managed by LSG Development Advisor LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of the Lightstone Group LLC (“Lightstone”) which provides advisory services to us and we have no employees. Lightstone is majority owned by the chairman emeritus of our board of directors, David Lichtenstein. Pursuant to the terms of an advisory agreement and subject to the oversight of our board of directors, the Advisor is responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for services related to the management of our assets.
We have agreements with the Advisor and its affiliate to pay certain fees in exchange for services performed by these entities and other related parties. These agreements have one-year terms and currently extend through June 10, 2022. We are dependent on the Advisor and its affiliates for certain services that are essential to us, including asset disposition decisions, property management and leasing services, and other general administrative responsibilities. In the event that these companies were unable to provide us with their respective services, we would be required to obtain such services from other sources.
The following discussion describes the fees and expenses payable to the Advisor and affiliated property manager and their respective affiliates under various agreements.
8
Acquisitions
We pay the Advisor acquisition and advisory fees of 1.5% of the amount paid in respect of the purchase, development, construction, or improvement of each asset we acquire, including any debt attributable to those assets.
In addition, we pay acquisition and advisory fees of 1.5% of the funds advanced in respect of a loan investment.
We pay the Advisor an acquisition expense reimbursement in the amount of (i) 0.25% of the funds paid for purchasing an asset, including any debt attributable to the asset, plus 0.25% of the funds budgeted for development, construction, or improvement in the case of assets that we acquire and intend to develop, construct, or improve or (ii) 0.25% of the funds advanced in respect of a loan investment.
We pay third parties, or reimburses the Advisor or its affiliates, for any investment-related expenses due to third parties in the case of a completed investment, including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses, travel and communication expenses, costs of appraisals, accounting fees and expenses, third-party brokerage or finder’s fees, title insurance, premium expenses, and other closing costs.
The Advisor and its affiliates are also responsible for paying all of the investment-related expenses that we pay or the Advisor or its affiliates incur that are due to third parties or related to the additional services provided by the Advisor as described above with respect to investments we do not make, other than certain non-refundable payments made in connection with any acquisition.
Debt financings
We pay the Advisor a debt financing fee of 1.0% of the amount available under any loan or line of credit made available to us and pay directly all third-party costs associated with obtaining the debt financing. Generally, these fees are capitalized as a direct reduction to the applicable financing and amortized over its term.

Property Management
We pay our property manager and affiliate of the Advisor, fees for the management, leasing, and construction supervision of our properties which is 4.0% of gross revenues of the properties managed by our property manager. We pay our property manager an oversight fee equal to 0.5% of the gross revenues of the property managed for any property for which we contract directly with a third-party property manager. In no event will our property manager or its affiliates receive both a property management fee and an oversight fee with respect to any particular property. In the event we own a property through a joint venture that does not pay our property manager directly for its services, we will pay our property manager a management fee or oversight fee, as applicable, based only on our economic interest in the property.
Construction Management
We pay our property manager a construction management fee in an amount not to exceed 5% of all hard construction costs incurred in connection with, but not limited to capital repairs and improvements, major building reconstruction and tenant improvements, if such affiliate supervises construction performed by or on behalf of us or our affiliates. We were not charged any construction management fees for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Asset Management
We pay the Advisor a monthly asset management fee of one-twelfth of 0.7% of the value of each asset. The value of our assets is the value as determined in connection with the establishment and publication of an estimated net asset value (“NAV”) per share unless the asset was acquired after our publication of a NAV per share (in which case the value of the asset will be the contractual purchase price of the asset).
Administrative Services Reimbursement
The Advisor is responsible for paying all of the expenses it incurs associated with persons employed by the Advisor to the extent that they provide services to us for which the Advisor receives an acquisition, asset management, or debt financing fee, including wages and benefits of the applicable personnel. Instead of reimbursing the Advisor for specific expenses paid or incurred in connection with providing services to us, we pay the Advisor an administrative services fee, which is an allocation of a portion of the actual costs that the Advisor paid or incurred providing these services to us (the “Administrative Services Reimbursement”). The Administrative Services Reimbursement is intended to reimburse the Advisor for all its costs associated with providing services to us.
For the period June 11, 2019 through June 10, 2020, the Administrative Services Reimbursement was up to $1.31 million. On June 10, 2020, the advisory management agreements were extended an additional year through June 10, 2021. For the period June 11, 2020 through June 10, 2021, the Administrative Services Reimbursement was limited to the lesser of the actual costs incurred or $1.33 million. On June 10, 2021, the advisory management agreements were extended an additional year through June 10, 2022. For the period June 11, 2021 through June 10, 2022, the Administrative Services Reimbursement is limited to the lesser of the actual costs incurred or $1.39 million.
9
The Administrative Services Reimbursement is payable in four equal quarterly instalments within 45 days of the end of each calendar quarter. In addition, under the various advisory management agreements, we reimburse the Advisor for certain due diligence services provided in connection with asset acquisitions and dispositions and debt financings separately from the Administrative Services Reimbursement.
Notwithstanding the fees and cost reimbursements payable to the Advisor pursuant to our advisory management agreement, under our charter we may not reimburse the Advisor for any amount by which our operating expenses (including the asset management fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of: (i) 2% of our average invested assets, or (ii) 25% of our net income determined without reduction for any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts, or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of our assets for that period unless a majority of our independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For the four fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our total operating expenses (including the asset management fee) did not exceed the limit on total operating expenses.
The following table represents the fees incurred associated with the payments to our Advisor for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands):

In the event that these companies were unable to provide us with their respective services, we would be required to obtain such services from other sources.
Advance from Advisor
On March 16, 2020, the Advisor provided an advance of $25.0 million to us that bore interest at a fixed-rate of 5.00%. On March 31, 2020, we repaid $15.0 million of the advance and on June 29, 2020, we repaid the remaining $10.0 million of the advance and aggregate accrued interest of $0.2 million. Approximately $0.2 million of interest expense was incurred on the advance during the year ended December 31, 2020.
The Nominating Committee.
The nominating committee recommends nominees to serve on our board of directors.  The nominating committee will consider nominees recommended by stockholders if submitted to the committee in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 2.13 of our bylaws.  Generally, this requires that the stockholder send certain information about the nominee to our corporate secretary between 120 and 150 days prior to the first anniversary of the mailing of notice for the annual meeting held in the prior year.  Because our directors take a critical role in guiding our strategic direction and overseeing our management, board candidates must demonstrate broad-based business and professional skills and experiences, a global business and social perspective, concern for the long-term interests of our stockholders, and personal integrity and judgment.  In addition, directors must have time available to devote to board activities and to enhance their knowledge of our industry.  The nominating committee is responsible for assessing the appropriate mix of skills and characteristics required of board members in the context of the perceived needs of the board at a given point in time and shall periodically review and recommend for approval by the board any updates to the criteria as deemed necessary.  Diversity in personal background, race, gender, age and nationality for the board as a whole is taken into account in considering individual candidates.  The nominating committee seeks to nominate directors with diverse backgrounds, experiences and skill sets that complement each other so as to maximize the collective knowledge, experience, judgment and skills of the entire board.  The nominating committee assesses its effectiveness in achieving this goal annually, in part, by reviewing the diversity of the skill sets of the directors and determining whether there are any deficiencies in the board’s collective skill set that should be addressed in the nominating process.  The nominating committee has determined that the composition of the current board of directors, including the new nominees for directors, satisfies its diversity objectives.

10
The nominating committee will evaluate the qualifications of each director candidate against the criteria described above in making its recommendation to the board concerning nominations for election or reelection as a director. The process for evaluating candidates recommended by our stockholders pursuant to Section 2.13 of our bylaws is no different than the process for evaluating other candidates considered by the nominating committee.  The nominees to be considered for membership to the board of directors at this Annual Meeting were recommended and nominated by the nominating committee on JuneMay 12, 20192022 and approved by the full board.
The nominating committee is composed solely of independent directors Andreas K. Bremer, Diane S. Detering-Paddison, Jeffrey F. Joseph, Jeffrey P. Mayer, Cynthia Pharr Lee, and Steven Spinola.  Ms. Pharr Lee is the chairman of the nominating committee.

Ms. Pharr Lee is the chairman of the nominating committee.  The nominating committee acted by consent two times during 2021.

Communication with Directors

We have established procedures for stockholders or other interested parties to communicate directly with our board of directors.  Stockholders who wish to communicate with our board of directors may send the communication to Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trusts V, Inc., 1985 Cedar Bridge Avenue, Suite 1, Lakewood, New Jersey 08701.  All communications made by this means will be directed to the Chairman of the Board.

In addition stockholders may report any concerns regarding questionable accounting, auditing or other matters of business on a confidential basis directly to the chairperson of the audit committee.  Such reports may be submitted 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by telephone or e-mailemail to an ethics hotline operated by an independent third-party vendor, InTouch. The helpline may be reached by telephone at (844) 302-2513, by e-mailemail to LightstoneCares@getintouch.com, and online at www.intouchwebsite.com/Lightstone.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires each director, officer, and individual beneficially owning more than 10% of a registered security of the Company to file with the SEC, within specified time frames, initial statements of beneficial ownership (Form 3) and statements of changes in beneficial ownership (Forms 4 and 5) of common stock of the Company.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The function of the audit committee is oversight of the financial reporting process on behalf of the board of directors. Management has responsibility for the financial reporting process, including the system of internal control over financial reporting, and for the preparation, presentation and integrity of our financial statements. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm devotes more time and has access to more information than does the audit committee. Membership on the audit committee does not call for the professional training and technical skills generally associated with career professionals in the field of accounting and auditing. Accordingly, in fulfilling their responsibilities, it is recognized that members of the audit committee are not, and do not represent themselves to be, performing the functions of auditors or accountants.

In this context, the audit committee reviewed and discussed the 2018 audited financial statements with management, including a discussion of the quality and acceptability of our financial reporting, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The audit committee discussed with EisnerAmper LLP, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the matters required to be discussed by AS 1301, “Communications with Audit Committees,” as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The audit committee received from EisnerAmper LLP the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding EisnerAmper LLP’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and discussed with EisnerAmper LLP their independence from us. In addition, the audit committee considered whether EisnerAmper LLP’s provision of non-audit services is compatible with EisnerAmper LLP’s independence.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors that the 2018 audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for filing with the SEC.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

Policies and Procedures for Transactions with Related Persons

We do not currently have written formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions with related persons, as defined by Item 404 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under that definition, transactions with related persons are transactions in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Related parties include any executive officers, directors, director nominees, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our voting securities, immediate family members of any of the foregoing persons, and any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is employed and in which such person has 10% or greater beneficial ownership interest.

However, in order to reduce or eliminate certain potential conflicts of interest, our charter contains a number of restrictions relating to (1) transactions we enter into with our Advisor and its affiliates, (2) certain future offerings, and (3) the allocation of investment opportunities among affiliated entities. As a general rule, any related party transactions must be approved by a majority of the directors (including a majority of independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction. In determining whether to approve or authorize a particular related party transaction, these persons will consider whether the transaction between us and the related party is fair and reasonable to us.

Related Party Transactions

Advisor

Subject to the oversight of our board of directors, our business has been managed by an external advisor since the commencement of our initial public offering and we have no employees. From January 4, 2008 through February 10, 2017, an affiliate of Stratera Services, LLC, formerly known as “Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC” (“Behringer”), acted as our external advisor (the “Behringer Advisor”). On February 10, 2017, we terminated our engagement of the Behringer Advisor and engaged affiliates of The Lightstone Group, LLC (“Lightstone”), LSG-BH II Advisor LLC and LSG Development Advisor LLC (collectively, the “Advisor”), to provide advisory services to us. Our external advisor is responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for services related to our acquisition, financing and disposition activities.

PROPOSAL 1

14

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our external advisor and certain of its affiliates may receive fees and compensation in connection with the management, acquisition, financing and disposition of our assets based on an advisory management agreement, as periodically amended and restated.

From January 4, 2008 through February 10, 2017, we were party to various advisory management agreements, each with a term of one year or less, with the Behringer Advisor. On February 10, 2017, we and the Behringer Advisor terminated the then existing advisory management agreement effective as of the close of business.

Concurrently, we engaged the Advisor to provide us with advisory services pursuant to various advisory management agreements, each with an initial term of one year. The fees earned by and expenses reimbursed to the Advisor are substantially the same as the fees earned by and expenses reimbursed to the Behringer Advisor. The following discussion describes the fees and expenses payable to our external advisor and its respective affiliates under the various advisory management agreements.

We pay acquisition and advisory fees of 1.5% of the amount paid in respect of the purchase, development, construction, or improvement of each asset we acquire, including any debt attributable to those assets. In addition, we pay acquisition and advisory fees of 1.5% of the funds advanced in respect of a loan investment. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we incurred acquisition and advisory fees payable to Lightstone of approximately $1.0 million in connection with our acquisition of the Axis at Westmont. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we incurred acquisition and advisory fees payable to Lightstone of approximately $0.6 million in connection with our acquisition of the Flats at Fishers.

We also pay an acquisition expense reimbursement in the amount of (i) 0.25% of the funds paid for purchasing an asset, including any debt attributable to the asset, plus 0.25% of the funds budgeted for development, construction, or improvement in the case of assets that we acquire and intend to develop, construct, or improve or (ii) 0.25% of the funds advanced in respect of a loan investment. We also pay third parties, or reimburse our external advisor or its affiliates, for any investment-related expenses due to third parties in the case of a completed investment, including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses, travel and communication expenses, costs of appraisals, accounting fees and expenses, third-party brokerage or finder’s fees, title insurance, premium expenses, and other closing costs.

Our external advisor and its affiliates are also responsible for paying all of the investment-related expenses that we or the external advisor or its affiliates incur that are due to third parties or related to the additional services provided by our external advisor as described above with respect to investments we do not make, other than certain non-refundable payments made in connection with any acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we incurred approximately $0.1 million in acquisition expense reimbursements payable to Lightstone in connection with our one acquisition, the Axis at Westmont. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we incurred less than $0.1 million in acquisition expense reimbursements payable to Lightstone in connection with our one acquisition, the Flats at Fishers.

Prior to June 10, 2018 we paid our external advisor a debt financing fee of 0.5% of the amount available under any loan or line of credit made available to us and pay directly all third-party costs associated with obtaining the debt financing, on June 10, 2018 we amended the advisory management agreement with our advisor and increased the debt financing fee to 1.0% of the amount available under any loan or line of credit made available to us and pay directly all third-party costs associated with obtaining the debt financing. During the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we incurred debt financing fees of approximately $0.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

We pay a development fee in an amount that is usual and customary for comparable services rendered to similar projects in the geographic market of the project if such affiliate provides the development services and if a majority of our independent directors determines that such development fee is fair and reasonable to us. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we did not incur any such fees.

We pay a monthly asset management fee of one-twelfth of 0.7% of the value of each asset. The value of our assets will be the value as determined in connection with the establishment and publication of a NAV per Share unless the asset was acquired after our publication of a NAV per Share (in which case the value of the asset will

15

be the contractual purchase price of the asset). During each of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we incurred $1.6 million of asset management fees payable to the external advisor. The totals for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 include asset management fees related to our disposed properties.

Our external advisor is responsible for paying all of the expenses it incurs associated with persons employed by the external advisor to the extent that they provide services related to us for which our external advisor receives an acquisition, asset management, or debt financing fee, including wages and benefits of the personnel. Instead of reimbursing our external advisor for specific expenses paid or incurred in connection with providing services to us, we pay our external advisor an administrative services fee, which is an allocation of a portion of the actual costs that the external advisor paid or incurred providing these services to us (renamed an administrative services reimbursement under the Lightstone Advisory Agreement). The administrative services fee/reimbursement is intended to reimburse the external advisor for all of the costs associated with providing services to us. For the calendar year ending December 31, 2017, the administrative services fee was $1.325 million annually, pro-rated for the first six months of the year and $1.3 million annually, prorated for the second six months of the year. For the period January 1, 2018 through June 10, 2018, the Administrative Services Fee is up to $1.3 million annually, pro-rated for the period. On June 10, 2018, the advisory management agreements were extended an additional year through June 10, 2019. For the period June 10, 2018 through June 10, 2019, the Administrative Services Fee is up to $1.29 million. The Administrative Service Fee is payable in four equal quarterly installments within 45 days of the end of each calendar quarter. In addition, under the advisory management agreement, we are to reimburse the Advisor for certain due diligence services provided in connection with asset dispositions or debt financings separately from the administrative services fee. For each of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we incurred and expensed such costs for administrative services and due diligence services of approximately $1.3 million.

Notwithstanding the fees and cost reimbursements payable to our external advisor pursuant to our advisory management agreement, under our charter we may not reimburse the external advisor for any amount by which our operating expenses (including the asset management fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of: (i) 2% of our average invested assets, or (ii) 25% of our net income determined without reduction for any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of our assets for that period unless a majority of our independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For the year ended December 31, 2018, our total operating expenses (including the asset management fee) exceeded the limit on total operating expenses; however, our independent directors determined the excess expenses were justified primarily as a result of the timing of the redeployment of our cash proceeds from asset sales and financings.

Property Manager

From January 4, 2008 through February 10, 2017, we were party to a property management and leasing agreement (as amended and restated, the “Behringer Property Management Agreement”) between us, our operating partnership, Behringer Harvard Opportunity Management Services, LLC, and Behringer Harvard Real Estate Services, LLC (collectively, the “Behringer Manager”). On February 10, 2017, we entered into a Termination of Property Management and Leasing Agreement with the Behringer Manager and (solely with respect to certain sections) Stratera (the “Property Management Termination Agreement”) pursuant to which the Behringer Property Management Agreement was terminated as of the close of business on February 10, 2017.

Concurrently, we engaged an affiliate of Lightstone (the “Lightstone Manager”) pursuant to a property management and leasing agreement. The fees earned by and expenses reimbursed to the Lightstone Manager are substantially the same as the fees earned by and expenses reimbursed to the Behringer Manager. The following discussion describes the fees and expenses payable to our affiliated property manager and its respective affiliates under both the various property management and leasing agreements.

We pay our property manager and affiliate of our external advisor, fees for the management, leasing, and construction supervision of our properties which is 4.0% of gross revenues of the properties managed by our property manager. We pay our property manager an oversight fee equal to 0.5% of the gross revenues of the property managed for any property for which we contract directly with a third-party property manager. In no event will our property manager or its affiliates receive both a property management fee and an oversight fee with respect to any particular property. In the event we own a property through a joint venture that does not pay our property manager directly for its services, we will pay our property manager a management fee or oversight

16

fee, as applicable, based only on our economic interest in the property. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we incurred and expensed property management fees or oversight fees of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, payable to the property manager and affiliates of our external advisor.

We pay our property manager a construction management fee in an amount not to exceed 5% of all hard construction costs incurred in connection with, but not limited to, capital repairs and improvements, major building reconstruction and tenant improvements, if such affiliate supervises construction performed by or on behalf of our affiliates or us. We incurred no construction management fees for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

We are dependent on our external advisor and our property manager for certain services that are essential to us, including asset disposition decisions, property management and leasing services, and other general administrative responsibilities. In the event that these companies were unable to provide us with their respective services, we would be required to obtain such services from other sources.

For proposed projects using the services of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm that are expected to cost under $100,000, our audit committee will be provided information to review and must approve each project prior to commencement of any work.
