Management Agreement
 
Upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering on July 1, 2016, the Company and the Advisor entered into an amended and restated management agreement (the “Management Agreement”). Certain material terms of the Management Agreement are summarized in the section titled “
Business — Our Advisor and our Management Agreement
,” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on March 11, 2019.
 
Management Fees and Accrued Management Fees
 
The Company’s management fee to the Advisor is calculated in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement which requires an annual base management fee equal to 1.5% of our stockholders’ equity (as defined in the Management Agreement). For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, management fees of $1,334 and $1,081, respectively, were incurred and expensed by the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company paid management fees to the Advisor in the amount of $1,142 and 1,064
, respectively.
Accrued management fees due to the Advisor were $1,335 and $1,143 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. No incentive management fee was incurred by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018. 
 
Allocated General and Administrative Expenses
 
Effective May 8, 2017, the Company and the Advisor entered into an agreement pursuant to which, for a period of one year commencing on May 8, 2017, the Company agreed to reimburse the Advisor for $125 of the annual salary of the General Counsel and Secretary of the Company for so long as he continues to be primarily dedicated to the Company in his capacity as its General Counsel and Secretary. This agreement expired in May 2018 and was not renewed. In the future, the Company may receive additional allocations of general and administrative expenses from the Advisor that are either clearly applicable to or were reasonably allocated to the operations of the Company. There were no allocated general and administrative expenses from the Advisor for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Other than via the terms of the reimbursement agreement noted above, there were no allocated general and administrative expenses from the Advisor for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
