Note 1 – Organization Global Medical REIT Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation engaged primarily in the acquisition of purpose-built healthcare facilities and the leasing of those facilities to strong healthcare systems and physician groups with leading market share. The Company holds its facilities and conducts its operations through a Delaware limited partnership subsidiary named Global Medical REIT L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company serves as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership through a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company named Global Medical REIT GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was the 93.56% limited partner of the Operating Partnership, with an aggregate of 6.44% of the Operating Partnership owned by holders of long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP Units”) and third-party limited partners who contributed properties or services to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common limited partnership units (“OP Units”). The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “GMRE.” The Company's Series A Preferred Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "GMRE PrA." As described below, until July 9, 2020, the Company was externally managed and advised by Inter-American Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of the Company (the “Former Advisor”). On July 9, 2020, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Inter-American Group Holdings Inc. (“IAGH”), the parent company of the Former Advisor, for total consideration, after a working capital adjustment, of $17,746 (the “Internalization”). The Internalization was completed pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, dated as of July 9, 2020 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company, Zensun Enterprises Limited (“Zensun”) and Mr. Jeffrey Busch. Prior to the Internalization, IAGH was owned by Zensun (85%) and Mr. Busch (15%).
A special committee (the "Special Committee") comprised entirely of independent and disinterested members of the Company’s board of directors (the "Board"), after consultation with its independent legal and financial advisors, determined that the Internalization was advisable to, and in the best interests of, the Company and the Company’s stockholders and recommended that the Board authorize and approve the Internalization. Upon such recommendation from the Special Committee, the Board authorized and approved the Internalization. Approval by the Company’s stockholders was not required.
Upon completion of the Internalization, the Management Agreement (as defined in Note 6 – “Related Party Transactions”) was terminated, the employees of the Former Advisor became employees of the Company and the functions previously performed by the Former Advisor were internalized by the Company.
