Below is the excerpt from a prospectus. I am confused as to how the broker-dealer is paid - are the commissions paid by the company selling the stock or is the commission deducted /paid by the investor/buyer?
The Dealer Manager is paid fees in connection with the sale of the Company’s common stock in the IPO. The Dealer Manager is paid a selling commission of up to 7.0% of the per share purchase price of offering proceeds before reallowance of commissions earned by participating broker-dealers. In addition, the Dealer Manager is paid up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares, before reallowance to participating broker-dealers, as a dealer-manager fee. The Dealer Manager may reallow its dealer-manager fee to participating broker-dealers. A participating broker dealer may elect to receive a fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares by such participating broker dealer, with 2.5% thereof paid at the time of such sale and 1.0% thereof paid on each anniversary of the closing of such sale up to and including the fifth anniversary of the closing of such sale. If this option is elected, the dealer manager fee will be reduced to 2.5% of gross proceeds. The following table details total selling commissions and dealer manager fees incurred from and due to the Dealer Manager as of and for the periods presented:
The Advisor and its affiliates receive compensation and reimbursement for services relating to the IPO, including transfer agent services provided by an affiliate of the Dealer Manager. All offering costs incurred by the Company or its affiliated entities on behalf of the Company are charged to additional paid-in capital on the accompanying balance during the IPO. The following table details offering costs and reimbursements incurred from and due to the Advisor and Dealer Manager as of and for the periods presented:
The Company is responsible for offering and related costs from the IPO, excluding commissions and dealer manager fees, up to a maximum of 2.0% of gross proceeds received from the IPO, measured at the end of the IPO. Offering costs in excess of the 2.0% cap as of the end of the IPO are the Advisor’s responsibility. As of June 30, 2014, offering and related costs, excluding commissions and dealer manager fees, were lower than 2.0% of gross proceeds received from the IPO by $1.8 million. After the general escrow break, the Advisor and the Dealer Manager elected to cap cumulative offering costs for the IPO, including selling commissions and dealer manager fees, incurred by the Company, net of unpaid amounts, to 15% of gross common stock proceeds during the offering period of the IPO. As of June 30, 2014, cumulative offering costs were $146.8 million. Cumulative offering costs net of unpaid amounts, were less than the 15% threshold as of June 30, 2014.
