Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2021
(Unaudited)
1. Business and Organization
DigitalBridge Group, Inc. or DBRG (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company") is a leading global investment firm with a focus on identifying and capitalizing on key secular trends in digital infrastructure. The Company is currently the only global real estate investment trust ("REIT") that owns, manages, and/or operates across all major infrastructure components of the digital ecosystem including data centers, cell towers, fiber networks and small cells.
Effective June 22, 2021, the Company changed its name to DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (formerly Colony Capital, Inc.) and trades under the ticker symbol, DBRG, signifying the Company's transformation to digital infrastructure.
At June 30, 2021, the Company has $48 billion of total assets under management, including both third party capital and the Company's balance sheet, and $20 billion of fee earning equity under management.
Organization
The Company conducts all of its activities and holds substantially all of its assets and liabilities through its operating subsidiary, DigitalBridge Operating Company, LLC (the "Operating Company" or the "OP"). At June 30, 2021, the Company owned 90.5% of the OP, as its sole managing member. The remaining 9.5% is owned primarily by certain current and former employees of the Company as noncontrolling interests.
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Digital Transformation
Significant healthcare and economic challenges arising from the coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19 pandemic, reinforced the critical role and the resilience of the digital real estate and infrastructure sector in a global economy that is increasingly reliant on telecommunications and data transmission. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2020, the Company determined to accelerate its previously announced shift to a digitally-focused strategy in order to better position the Company for growth, which requires a rotation of the Company's traditional non-digital assets into digital-focused investments.
In 2021, having successfully exited its hotel business, the Company is continuing the process of monetizing the remainder of its non-digital businesses to complete its digital transformation. This includes the Company's Wellness Infrastructure segment, and a substantial majority of the Company's other equity and debt ("OED") investments and its non-digital investment management ("Other IM") business, both of which reside in the Other segment.
The completed and pending dispositions of the Company’s hotel business, OED investments and Other IM business, and Wellness Infrastructure segment represent strategic shifts in the Company's business that are expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, and accordingly, have met the criteria as discontinued operations. For all current and prior periods presented, the related assets and liabilities, to the extent they have not been disposed at the respective balance sheet dates, are presented as assets and liabilities held for disposition on the consolidated balance sheets (Note 11) and the related operating results are presented as loss from discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations (Note 12).
Accelerating the Monetization of Wellness Infrastructure and Other Segments
In the second quarter of 2021, the Company started the process to dispose of its Wellness Infrastructure business along with other non-core assets, all of which are held by its subsidiary, NRF Holdco, LLC ("NRF Holdco"). The Wellness Infrastructure business is composed of senior housing, skilled nursing facilities, medical office buildings, and hospitals. Other assets and obligations held by NRF Holdco include primarily: (i) the Company's equity interest in and management of its sponsored non-traded REIT, NorthStar Healthcare Income, Inc. (NorthStar Healthcare"), debt securities collateralized largely by certain debt and preferred equity within the capital structure of the Wellness Infrastructure portfolio, limited partner interests in private equity real estate funds; and (ii) the 5.375% exchangeable senior notes, trust preferred securities and corresponding junior subordinated debt, all of which were issued by NRF Holdco who acts as guarantor.
In June 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with a third party to sell a substantial majority of its OED investments and Other IM business, composed of the Company's interests in various non-digital real estate, real estate-related equity and debt investments, and the Company's general partner interests and management rights with respect to these assets. The aggregate sales price is approximately $535 million, subject to customary adjustments, including adjustments if consents with respect to certain assets cannot be obtained. Consummation of the sale is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and third party consents, but no financing conditions.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, taking into consideration the agreed upon sales price and/or estimated recoverable values for the OED, Other IM and Wellness Infrastructure assets that are classified as held for disposition, the Company wrote down the carrying value of these assets by $537.8 million in aggregate, of which $276.5 million was attributable to the OP, recorded within impairment loss, equity method loss and other loss in discontinued operations, as discussed further in Note 11.
Internalization of BrightSpire Capital, Inc. (NYSE: BRSP)
In early April 2021, the Company and BRSP (formerly Colony Credit Real Estate, Inc. or CLNC) agreed to terminate the BRSP management agreement for a one-time termination payment of $102.3 million in cash. The transaction closed on April 30, 2021, resulting in the internalization of BRSP's management and operating functions (the "BRSP Internalization"), with certain of the Company's employees previously dedicated wholly or substantially to BRSP becoming employees of BRSP. In connection with the BRSP Internalization, BRSP's board of directors ceased to include Company-affiliated directors upon the expiration of such directors' terms in May 2021. The Company also entered into a stockholders agreement with BRSP, pursuant to which the Company agreed, for so long as the Company owns at least 10% of BRSP's outstanding common shares, to vote in BRSP director elections as recommended by BRSP’s board of directors at any stockholders' meeting that occurs prior to BRSP's 2023 annual stockholders' meeting. In addition, the Company is subject to customary standstill restrictions, including an obligation not to initiate or make stockholder proposals, nominate directors or participate in proxy solicitations, until the beginning of the advance notice window for BRSP's 2023 annual meeting. Except as aforementioned, the Company may vote its shares in its sole discretion in any votes of BRSP’s stockholders. The Company currently holds a 36.1% equity ownership and is prohibited from acquiring additional BRSP shares.
Exit of the Hotel Business
In March 2021, the Company completed the sale of its hotel business. Pursuant to an agreement entered into with a third party in September 2020 (as amended in October 2020, February 2021 and March 2021), the Company sold five of the six hotel portfolios in its Hospitality segment and its 55.6% interest in a portfolio of limited service hotels that was acquired through a consensual foreclosure in July 2017 (the "THL Hotel Portfolio") in its Other segment, composed of 197 hotel properties in aggregate. The remaining portfolio in the Hospitality segment is in receivership and currently under contract for sale by the lender, while the remaining interests in the THL Hotel Portfolio continue to be held by investment vehicles managed by the Company. Two of the hotel portfolios that were sold in the Hospitality segment were held through joint ventures in which the Company held a 90% and a 97.5% interest, respectively. The aggregate selling price of $67.5 million represented a transaction value of approximately $2.8 billion, with the acquirer's assumption of $2.7 billion of investment-level debt.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies of the Company are described below. The accounting policies of the Company's unconsolidated ventures are substantially similar to those of the Company.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021, or any other future period. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in, or presented as exhibits to, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The portions of equity, net income and other comprehensive income of consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable to the parent are presented
separately as amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements. A substantial portion of noncontrolling interests represents interests held by private investment funds or other investment vehicles managed by the Company and which invest alongside the Company, and membership interests in OP primarily held by certain employees of the Company.
To the extent the Company consolidates a subsidiary that is subject to industry-specific guidance, the Company retains the industry-specific guidance applied by that subsidiary in its consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest by first considering if an entity meets the definition of a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, or if the Company has the power to control an entity through a majority of voting interest or through other arrangements.
Variable Interest Entities—A VIE is an entity that either (i) lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; (ii) whose equity holders lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; and/or (iii) is established with non-substantive voting rights. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE through (a) power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance, and (b) obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. The Company also considers interests held by its related parties, including de facto agents. The Company assesses whether it is a member of a related party group that collectively meets the power and benefits criteria and, if so, whether the Company is most closely associated with the VIE. In performing the related party analysis, the Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: the amount and characteristics of its investment relative to the related party; the Company’s and the related party's ability to control or significantly influence key decisions of the VIE including consideration of involvement by de facto agents; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or the related party to fund operating losses of the VIE; and the similarity and significance of the VIE’s business activities to those of the Company and the related party. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE, and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, may involve significant judgment, including the determination of which activities most significantly affect the entities’ performance, and estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of assets held by the VIE.
Voting Interest Entities—Unlike VIEs, voting interest entities have sufficient equity to finance their activities and equity investors exhibit the characteristics of a controlling financial interest through their voting rights. The Company consolidates such entities when it has the power to control these entities through ownership of a majority of the entities' voting interests or through other arrangements.
At each reporting period, the Company reassesses whether changes in facts and circumstances cause a change in the status of an entity as a VIE or voting interest entity, and/or a change in the Company's consolidation assessment. Changes in consolidation status are applied prospectively. An entity may be consolidated as a result of this reassessment, in which case, the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest in the entity are recorded at fair value upon initial consolidation. Any existing equity interest held by the Company in the entity prior to the Company obtaining control will be remeasured at fair value, which may result in a gain or loss recognized upon initial consolidation. However, if the consolidation represents an asset acquisition of a voting interest entity, the Company's existing interest in the acquired assets, if any, is not remeasured to fair value but continues to be carried at historical cost. The Company may also deconsolidate a subsidiary as a result of this reassessment, which may result in a gain or loss recognized upon deconsolidation depending on the carrying values of deconsolidated assets and liabilities compared to the fair value of any interests retained.
Noncontrolling Interests
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests—This represents noncontrolling interests in the Company's digital investment management business and in consolidated open-end funds sponsored by the Company. The noncontrolling interests either have redemption rights that will be triggered upon the occurrence of certain events (Note 10) or have the ability to withdraw all or a portion of their interests from the consolidated open-end funds in cash with advance notice.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests is presented outside of permanent equity. Allocation of net income or loss to redeemable noncontrolling interests is based upon their ownership percentage during the period. The carrying amount of
redeemable noncontrolling interests is adjusted to its redemption value at the end of each reporting period to an amount not less than its initial carrying value, except for amounts contingently redeemable which will be adjusted to redemption value only when redemption is probable. Such adjustments will be recognized in additional paid-in capital.
Noncontrolling Interests in Investment Entities—This represents predominantly interests in consolidated investment entities held by private investment funds managed by the Company or held by third party joint venture partners. Allocation of net income or loss is generally based upon relative ownership interests held by equity owners in each investment entity, or based upon contractual arrangements that may provide for disproportionate allocation of economic returns among equity interests, including using a hypothetical liquidation at book value basis, where applicable and substantive.
Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Company—This represents membership interests in OP held primarily by certain employees of the Company. Noncontrolling interests in OP are allocated a share of net income or loss in OP based on their weighted average ownership interest in OP during the period. Noncontrolling interests in OP have the right to require OP to redeem part or all of such member’s membership units in OP ("OP Units") for cash based on the market value of an equivalent number of shares of class A common stock at the time of redemption, or at the Company's election as managing member of OP, through issuance of shares of class A common stock (registered or unregistered) on a one-for-one basis. At the end of each reporting period, noncontrolling interests in OP is adjusted to reflect their ownership percentage in OP at the end of the period, through a reallocation between controlling and noncontrolling interests in OP, as applicable.
Business Combinations
Definition of a Business—The Company evaluates each purchase transaction to determine whether the acquired assets meet the definition of a business. If substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, then the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. If not, for an acquisition to be considered a business, it would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs (i.e., there is a continuation of revenue before and after the transaction). A substantive process is not ancillary or minor, cannot be replaced without significant costs, effort or delay or is otherwise considered unique or scarce. To qualify as a business without outputs, the acquired assets would require an organized workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to perform a substantive process.
Asset Acquisitions—For acquisitions that are not deemed to be businesses, the assets acquired are recognized based on their cost to the Company as the acquirer and no gain or loss is recognized. The cost of assets acquired in a group is allocated to individual assets within the group based on their relative fair values and does not give rise to goodwill. Transaction costs related to acquisition of assets are included in the cost basis of the assets acquired.
Business Combinations—The Company accounts for acquisitions that qualify as business combinations by applying the acquisition method. Transaction costs related to acquisition of a business are expensed as incurred and excluded from the fair value of consideration transferred. The identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests in an acquired entity are recognized and measured at their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair values of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests in an acquired entity, net of fair value of any previously held interest in the acquired entity, is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions.
Contingent Consideration—Contingent consideration is classified as a liability or equity, as applicable. Contingent consideration in connection with the acquisition of a business or a VIE is measured at fair value on acquisition date, and unless classified as equity, is remeasured at fair value each reporting period thereafter until the consideration is settled, with changes in fair value included in net income. Contingent consideration in connection with the acquisition of assets (and that is not a VIE) is generally recognized only when the contingency is resolved, as part of the basis of the acquired assets.
Discontinued Operations
If the disposition of a component, being an operating or reportable segment, business unit, subsidiary or asset group, represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, the operating profits or losses of the component when classified as held for sale, and the gain or loss upon disposition of the component, are presented as discontinued operations in the statements of operations.
A business or asset group acquired in connection with a business combination that meets the criteria to be accounted for as held for sale at the date of acquisition is reported as discontinued operations, regardless of whether it meets the strategic shift criterion.
The accelerated monetization of the Wellness Infrastructure segment that is in progress as of June 2021; pending disposition of a substantial majority of the OED investments and Other IM business in the Other segment; disposition of the hotel business, composed of the Hospitality segment and the THL Hotel Portfolio in the Other segment in March 2021; and disposition of the bulk industrial portfolio in December 2020, all represent strategic shifts that have or are expected to have major effects on the Company’s operations and financial results, and have met the criteria as discontinued operations as of June 2021, March 2021, September 2020, and June 2019, respectively. Accordingly, for all prior periods presented, the related assets and liabilities are presented as assets and liabilities held for disposition on the consolidated balance sheets (Note 11) and the related operating results are presented as income (loss) from discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations (Note 12). Discontinued operations in prior periods include investments in the respective segments that have been disposed or otherwise resolved in those periods.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications were made related to discontinued operations as discussed in "—Discontinued Operations" above and to prior period segment reporting presentation as discussed in Note 20. Additionally, costs related to unconsummated transactions that were previously included within investment and servicing expense in prior periods have been reclassified into transaction-related costs on the consolidated statement of operations to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Adjustment to Accumulated Deficit
On January 1, 2020, upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—
Credit Losses, the Company recorded a $5.1 million increase to accumulated deficit, composed of: (i) an $8.4 million increase to accumulated deficit, representing the Company's share of the cumulative effect adjustment of adopting the lifetime current expected credit loss model by its equity method investee, BRSP; partially offset by (ii) a $3.3 million decrease to accumulated deficit, reflecting the cumulative effect adjustment of the Company's election of the fair value option for all of its then outstanding loans receivable.
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2021
Income Tax Accounting
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU simplifies accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the general approach in ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the guidance for more consistent application. The simplifications relate to intraperiod tax allocations when there is a loss in continuing operations and a gain outside of continuing operations, accounting for tax law or tax rate changes and year-to-date losses in interim periods, recognition of deferred tax liability for outside basis difference when investment ownership changes, and accounting for franchise taxes that are partially based on income. The ASU also provides new guidance that clarifies the accounting for transactions resulting in a step-up in tax basis of goodwill, among other changes. Transition is generally prospective, other than the provision related to outside basis difference which is on a modified retrospective basis with cumulative effect adjusted to retained earnings at the beginning of the period adopted, and franchise tax provision which is on either full or modified retrospective. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2021, with no resulting effect upon adoption.
Accounting for Certain Equity Investments
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321 Investments—Equity Securities, Topic 323—Investments Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Topic 815—Derivatives and Hedging. The ASU clarifies that if as a result of an observable transaction, an equity investment under the measurement alternative is transitioned into equity method and vice versa, an equity method investment is transitioned into measurement alternative, the investment is to be remeasured immediately before and after the transaction, respectively. The ASU also clarifies that certain forward contracts or purchased options to acquire equity securities that are not deemed to be derivatives or in-substance common stock will generally be measured using the fair value principles of ASC 321 before settlement or exercise, and that an entity should not be considering how it will account for the resulting investments upon eventual settlement or exercise. ASU No. 2020-01 is to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2021, with no resulting effect upon adoption.
Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on Entity's Own Equity
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU (1) simplifies an issuer’s accounting for convertible
instruments as a single unit of account; (2) allows more contracts on an entity’s own equity to qualify for equity classification and more embedded derivatives meeting the derivative scope exception; and (3) simplifies diluted earnings per share ("EPS") computation.
•The guidance eliminates the requirement to separate embedded conversion features in convertible instruments, except for (1) a convertible instrument that contains features requiring bifurcation as a derivative under ASC 815 or (2) a convertible debt instrument that was issued at a substantial premium. Separate accounting for embedded conversion features as an equity component under the cash conversion and beneficial conversion models has been eliminated.
•Under the new guidance, certain conditions under Subtopic ASC 815-40 that may result in contracts being settled in cash rather than shares and therefore preclude (1) equity classification for contracts on an entity’s own equity; and (2) embedded derivatives from qualifying for the derivative scope exception, have been removed; for example, the requirement that equity contracts permit settlement in unregistered shares unless such contracts explicitly require settlement in cash if registered shares are unavailable. The guidance also clarifies that freestanding contracts on an entity’s own equity that do not qualify for equity classification under the indexation criteria (ASC 815-40-15) or settlement criteria (ASC 815-40-25) are to be measured at fair value through earnings, even if they do not meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815.
•The ASU also amends certain guidance on computation of diluted EPS for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity that results in a more dilutive EPS, including (1) requiring the if converted method to be applied for all convertible instruments (the treasury stock method is no longer available), and (2) removing the ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for contracts that may be settled in cash or stock and that are not liability classified share based payments.
•Expanded disclosures are required, including but not limited to, (1) terms and features of convertible instruments and contracts on entity’s own equity; and (2) information about events, conditions, and circumstances that could affect amount or timing of future cash flows related to these instruments or contracts; and in the period of adoption (3) nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle; and (4) effects of the change on EPS.
Upon adoption, a one-time election may be made to apply the fair value option for any liability-classified convertible securities.
Adoption of the new standard may be made either on a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach, with cumulative effect adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings. The Company early adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2021 using a modified retrospective approach, with no resulting effect upon adoption.
3. Acquisitions
Asset Acquisitions
Vantage SDC Hyperscale Data Centers
In July 2020 and following an additional investment in October 2020, the Company, alongside fee bearing third party capital, invested $1.36 billion for an approximately 90% equity interest in entities that hold Vantage Data Centers Holdings, LLC's ("Vantage") portfolio of 12 stabilized hyperscale data centers in North America and $2.0 billion of secured indebtedness (“Vantage SDC”). The remaining equity interest in Vantage SDC is held by the existing investors of Vantage, and together with the third party capital raised by the Company, represent noncontrolling interests. The Company's balance sheet investment is approximately $200 million or a 13% equity interest in Vantage SDC. Vantage SDC is a carve-out from Vantage's data center business. The acquisition excluded Vantage's remaining portfolio of development-stage data centers and its employees, all of whom were retained by Vantage. The day-to-day operations of Vantage SDC continue to be managed by Vantage's existing management company in exchange for management fees, and subject to certain approval rights held by the Company and the co-investors in connection with material actions.
Additionally, the Company and its co-investors have committed to acquire the future build-out of expansion capacity within the Vantage SDC portfolio, including lease-up of the expanded capacity and existing inventory, the costs of which will be borne by the previous owners of Vantage SDC, for estimated payments of approximately $240 million. It is anticipated that most, if not all, of the payments will be funded by Vantage SDC from borrowings under its credit facilities and/or cash from operations. Pursuant to this arrangement, Vantage SDC entered into two tenant leases related to a portion of the expansion capacity during the six months ended June 30, 2021, which triggered aggregate payments of $73.6 million to the previous owners of Vantage SDC. These payments were treated as asset acquisitions, which consideration was allocated to data center infrastructure and in-place lease acquired, and as additional consideration for land and building.
zColo Colocation Data Centers
In December 2020, the Company's DataBank subsidiary acquired zColo, the colocation business of Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. ("Zayo"), composed of 39 data centers in the U.S. and the U.K., for approximately $1.2 billion through a combination of debt and equity financing, including $0.5 billion of third party co-invest capital raised by the Company. The Company's balance sheet investment is $145 million ($188 million at the time of closing), which maintained the Company's 20% equity interest in DataBank.
Acquisition of zColo's remaining five data centers in France for $33.0 million closed in February 2021. Zayo is an anchor tenant within the zColo facilities and is a significant customer of DataBank.
Allocation of Consideration Transferred
The following table summarizes the consideration and allocation to assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests at acquisition. Consideration for asset acquisitions incorporates capitalized transaction costs, which may include incentive payments to employees for successful closing of the acquisitions.

•Real estate was valued based upon (i) current replacement cost for buildings in an as-vacant state and improvements, estimated using construction cost guidelines; (ii) current replacement cost for data center infrastructure by applying an estimated cost per kilowatt based upon current capacity of each location and also considering the associated indirect costs such as design, engineering, construction and installation; (iii) recent comparable sales or current listings for land; and (iv) contracted price net of estimated selling costs for real estate held for sale. Useful lives of real estate acquired range from 30 to 50 years for buildings and improvements, 7 to 21 years for site improvements, 12 to 19 years for data center infrastructure, and 1 to 5 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment.
•Lease-related intangibles for real estate acquisitions were composed of the following:
•In-place leases reflect the value of rental income forgone if the properties had been acquired vacant, and the leasing commissions, legal and marketing costs that would have been incurred to lease up the properties, with remaining lease terms ranging between 3 and 15 years.
•Above- and below-market leases represent the rent differential for the remaining lease term between contractual rents of acquired leases and market rents at the time of acquisition, discounted at rates between 6% and 8%, with remaining lease terms ranging between 2 and 15 years.
•Tenant relationships represent the estimated net cash flows attributable to the likelihood of lease renewal by an existing tenant relative to the cost of obtaining a new lease, taking into consideration the estimated time it would require to execute a new lease or backfill a vacant space, discounted at rates between 6% and 11.5%, with estimated useful lives between 5 and 15 years.
•Other intangible assets acquired were as follows:
•Customer service contracts were valued based upon estimated net cash flows generated from the zColo customer service contracts that would have been forgone if such contracts were not in place, taking into consideration the time it would require to execute a new contract, with remaining term of the contracts ranging between 3 and 15 years.
•Customer relationships were valued as the incremental net cash flows to the zColo business attributable to the in-place customer relationships, discounted at 10%, with estimated useful life of 12 years.
•Trade name of zColo was valued based upon estimated savings from avoided royalty at a rate of 1%, discounted at 11.5%, with useful life of 1 year.
•Assembled workforce was valued based upon the estimated cost of recruiting and training new data center employees for zColo, with a 3 year useful life.
•Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed include primarily lease ROU assets associated with leasehold data centers and corresponding lease liabilities. Lease liabilities were measured based upon the present value of future lease payments over the lease term, discounted at the incremental borrowing rate of the respective acquirees.
•Assumed debt was valued based upon market rates and spreads that prevailed at the time of acquisition for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Other Real Estate Asset Acquisitions
Other real estate acquisitions include the following. Some of the acquired real estate has since been disposed, and all of the remaining assets and associated liabilities were classified as held for disposition in 2021.
•Hotel properties in France that are under receivership, for which the Company's bid was accepted by the French courts in 2019. The acquisitions closed throughout 2020 and 2021 for total purchase price of $37.9 million and $38.8 million, respectively, including $2.2 million and $3.4 million of assumed debt, respectively. This includes the acquisition of hotel operations pursuant to operating leases on hotels owned by third parties.
•Office properties in the U.K. and Ireland in 2020, valued at approximately $33.0 million, including the assumption of approximately $125.0 million of debt. The Company had acquired a controlling equity interest in a borrower upon the borrower's default of an acquisition, development and construction ("ADC") loan, which was previously accounted for as an equity method investment. This resulted in the Company's acquisition of the borrower's real estate assets and assumption of its underlying mortgage debt, some of which is in default.

__________
(1) Excludes approximately 461,000 shares and 3.1 million units in BRSP that are held by NRF Holdco and included in assets held for disposition (Note 11), of the Company's aggregate holdings of 48 million shares and units in BRSP.
The Company's equity investments represent noncontrolling equity interests in various entities, primarily BRSP, interests in the Company's sponsored digital investment vehicles, and marketable securities held largely by private open-end digital funds sponsored and consolidated by the Company.
For equity method investments, the liabilities of the investment entities may only be settled using the assets of these entities and there is no recourse to the general credit of the Company for the obligations of these entities. The Company is not required to provide financial or other support in excess of its capital commitments, where applicable, and its exposure is limited to its investment balance.
The Company evaluates its equity method investments for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") at each reporting period. Other than BRSP, OTTI was recorded only on equity method investments held for disposition, as discussed in Note 11.
BRSP
The Company owns a 36.15% interest in BRSP, accounted for under the equity method, as it exercises significant influence over BRSP's operating and financial policies through its substantial ownership interest. The following discussion encompasses all of the Company's interest in BRSP, including such interest held by NRF Holdco that is presented as held for disposition and discontinued operations.
OTTI—The Company determined there was no OTTI on its investment in BRSP in 2021. At June 30, 2021, the fair value of the Company's investment in BRSP, based upon its closing stock price of $9.40 per share, was in excess of its carrying value. In the second quarter of 2020, the Company had determined that its investment in BRSP was other-than-temporarily impaired and recorded an impairment charge, included in equity method losses, of $274.7 million, measured as the excess of carrying value of its investment in BRSP over market value of $336.5 million based upon BRSP's closing stock price of $7.02 per share on June 30, 2020.
Basis Difference—The impairment charges recorded by the Company on its investment in BRSP in 2020 and 2019 resulted in a basis difference between the Company's carrying value of its investment in BRSP and the Company's proportionate share of BRSP's book value of equity. The impairment charges were applied to the Company's investment in BRSP as a whole and were not determined based upon an impairment assessment of individual assets held by BRSP. In order to address the basis difference, the impairment charges were generally allocated on a relative fair value basis across BRSP's various investments. Accordingly, for any future write-downs taken by BRSP on these investments, the Company's share thereof is applied to reduce the basis difference and is not recorded as an equity method loss until such time the basis difference associated with the respective investments has been fully eliminated. Upon resolution of these investments, the associated basis differences is applied to calculate the Company's share of any net gain or loss resulting
from such resolution. The Company increased its share of net earnings or reduced its share of net losses from BRSP by $34.5 million and $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $59.2 million and $27.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, representing the basis difference allocated to investments that were resolved or impaired by BRSP during these periods. The remaining basis difference at June 30, 2021 was $218.4 million.
Investment and Lending Commitments
Private Funds—At June 30, 2021, the Company has unfunded commitments of $128.4 million to the Company's sponsored funds in its flagship digital opportunistic strategy, Digital Colony Partners, LP ("DCP I") and Digital Colony Partners II, LP ("DCP II").
Loans Receivable—The Company has lending commitment to a borrower in which the borrower may submit a request for funding contingent on meeting certain criteria, which must be approved by the Company as lender, such as agreed upon benchmarks, financial and operating metrics and approved budget. At June 30, 2021, the unfunded lending commitment was $25.0 million, of which the Company's share was $5.0 million, net of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests in investment entities.

__________
(1) Represents primarily prepaid rental income and deferred management fees from digital investment vehicles. Deferred management fees of $1.7 million at June 30, 2021 and $6.1 million at December 31, 2020 is expected to be recognized as fee income over a weighted average period of 4.7 years and 1.9 years, respectively.
Deferred Income Tax
In the second quarter of 2021, the Company's DataBank subsidiary completed a restructuring of its operations to qualify as a REIT and anticipates electing REIT status for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the 2021 taxable year. As a REIT, DataBank would generally not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on its taxable income to the extent that it annually distributes such taxable income to its stockholders and maintains certain asset and income requirements. However, DataBank would continue to be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on income earned by any of its taxable subsidiaries. In the second quarter of 2021, DataBank recorded a net deferred tax benefit of $66.8 million, primarily reflecting the write-off of its deferred tax liabilities.
8. Debt
The Company's debt balance consists of the following components, excluding debt related to assets held for disposition that is expected to be assumed by the counterparty upon disposition, which is included in liabilities related to assets held for disposition (Note 11).

__________
(1) Calculated based upon outstanding debt principal at balance sheet date. For variable rate debt, weighted average interest rate is calculated based upon the applicable index plus spread at balance sheet date.
(2) Calculated based upon initial maturity dates, or extended maturity dates if extension criteria are met and extension is available at the Company's option.
(3) Excludes the 5.375% exchangeable senior notes issued by NRF Holdco as they are classified as held for disposition (Note 11).
(4) The fixed rate recourse debt was secured by the Company's aircraft and was repaid in January 2021 upon sale of the aircraft.
Corporate Credit Facility
In July 2021, the Company repaid the outstanding balance and terminated its corporate credit facility, which was replaced with the Company's new securitized financing facility, as discussed below.
Prior to termination, the credit facility provided revolving commitments of $300 million as of June 30, 2021, based upon terms amended in May 2021 ($450 million at December 31, 2020), with the maximum amount available to be drawn limited by a borrowing base of certain investment assets, generally valued based upon a percentage of adjusted net book value or a multiple of base management fee EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement). Advances under the credit facility accrued interest at a per annum rate equal to, at the Company’s election, either the 1-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a margin of 2.75%, or a base rate determined according to a prime rate or federal funds rate plus a margin of 1.75%. Unused commitments under the credit facility were subject to a commitment fee of 0.35% per annum.
Securitized Financing Facility
In July 2021, special-purpose subsidiaries of the OP (the "Co-Issuers") issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of Series 2021-1 Secured Fund Fee Revenue Notes, composed of: (i) $300 million aggregate principal amount of 3.933% Secured Fund Fee Revenue Notes, Series 2021-1, Class A-2 (the “Class A-2 Notes”); and (ii) up to $200 million Secured Fund Fee Revenue Variable Funding Notes, Series 2021-1, Class A-1 (the “VFN Notes” and, together with the Class A-2 Notes, the “Series 2021-1 Notes”). The VFN Notes allow the Co-Issuers to borrow on a revolving basis. The Series 2021-1 Notes were issued under an Indenture that allows the Co-Issuers to issue additional series of notes in the future, subject to certain conditions.
The Series 2021-1 Notes represent obligations of the Co-Issuers and certain other special-purpose subsidiaries of DBRG, and neither DBRG, the OP nor any of its other subsidiaries are liable for the obligations of the Co-Issuers. The Series 2021-1 Notes are secured by investment management fees earned by subsidiaries of DBRG, equity interests in certain digital portfolio companies and limited partnership interests in certain digital funds managed by subsidiaries of DBRG, as collateral.
The Class A-2 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.933% per annum, payable quarterly. The VFN Notes bear interest generally based upon 3-month LIBOR (or an alternate benchmark as set forth in the purchase agreement of the VFN Notes) plus 3%. Unused amounts under the VFN Notes facility is subject to a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum. The final maturity date is in September 2051 for the Class A-2 Notes, with an anticipated repayment date in September 2026. The anticipated repayment date for the VFN Notes is in September 2024, subject to two one-year extensions at the option of the Co-Issuers. If the Series 2021-1 Notes are not repaid or refinanced prior to their anticipated repayment date, or such date is not extended for the VFN Notes, interest will accrue at a higher rate and the Series 2021-1 Notes will begin to amortize quarterly.
The Series 2021-1 Notes may be optionally prepaid, in whole or in part, prior to their anticipated repayment dates. There is no prepayment penalty on the VFN Notes. However, prepayment of the Class A-2 Notes will be subject to additional consideration based upon the difference between the present value of future payments of principal and interest and the outstanding principal of such Class A-2 Note that is being prepaid; or 1% of the outstanding principal of such Class A-2 Note that is being prepaid in connection with a disposition of collateral.
The Indenture of the Series 2021-1 Notes contains various covenants, including financial covenants that require the maintenance of minimum thresholds for debt service coverage ratio and maximum loan-to-value ratio, as defined. As of the date of this filing, the Co-Issuers are in compliance with all of the financial covenants.
Proceeds from issuance of the Class A-2 Notes of $285.1 million, net of offering expenses and $5.4 million of interest reserve deposits, will be used for acquisition of digital infrastructure investments, funding of commitments to sponsored funds, redemption or repayment of the Company's other higher cost corporate securities, and/or general corporate purposes. The full $200 million under the VFN Notes is available to be drawn as of the date of this filing.

__________
(1) The conversion or exchange rate for the senior notes is subject to periodic adjustments to reflect certain carried-forward adjustments relating to common stock splits, reverse stock splits, common stock adjustments in connection with spin-offs and cumulative cash dividends paid on the Company's common stock since the issuances of the respective senior notes. The conversion or exchange ratios are presented in shares of common stock per $1,000 principal of each senior note.
The senior notes mature on their respective due dates, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased, converted or exchanged, as applicable. The outstanding senior notes are convertible or exchangeable at any time by holders of such notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at the applicable conversion or exchange rate, which is subject to adjustment upon occurrence of certain events.
To the extent certain trading conditions of the Company’s common stock are met, the senior notes are redeemable by the applicable issuer thereof in whole or in part for cash at any time on or after their respective earliest redemption dates at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such senior notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) up to, but excluding, the redemption date.
In the event of certain change in control transactions, holders of the senior notes have the right to require the applicable issuer to purchase all or part of such holder's senior notes for cash in accordance with terms of the governing documents of the respective senior notes.
Repurchase and Repayment of Senior Notes
The 3.875% convertible senior notes were fully extinguished following a $31.5 million repayment upon maturity in January 2021 and a $371.0 million repurchase in the third quarter of 2020, primarily funded by net proceeds from the July 2020 issuance of the 5.75% exchangeable senior notes by the OP.
Secured Debt
These are primarily investment level financing, which are non-recourse to the Company, and secured by underlying commercial real estate and mortgage loans receivable.
In March 2021 and October 2020, DataBank and Vantage SDC, the Company's subsidiaries in the Digital Operating segment, raised $657.9 million and $1.3 billion of securitized notes at blended fixed rates of 2.3% and 1.8%, with 5-year and 6-year maturities, respectively. In both instances, the proceeds were applied principally to refinance outstanding debt, which meaningfully reduced the overall cost of debt and extended debt maturities at DataBank and Vantage SDC.

All series of preferred stock are at parity with respect to dividends and distributions, including distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Dividends on Series G, H, I and J of preferred stock are payable quarterly in arrears in January, April, July and October.
Each series of preferred stock is redeemable on or after the earliest redemption date for that series at $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) exclusively at the Company’s option. The redemption period for each series of preferred stock is subject to the Company’s right under limited circumstances to redeem the preferred stock earlier in order to preserve its qualification as a REIT or upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the articles supplementary relating to each series of preferred stock).
Preferred stock generally does not have any voting rights, except if the Company fails to pay the preferred dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive). Under such circumstances, the preferred stock will be entitled to vote, together as a single class with any other series of parity stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, to elect two additional directors to the Company’s board of directors, until all unpaid dividends have been paid or declared and set aside for payment. In addition, certain changes to the terms of any series of preferred stock cannot be made without the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of each such series of preferred stock voting separately as a class for each series of preferred stock.
Redemption of Preferred Stock
In January 2020, the Company settled the December 2019 redemption of its outstanding Series B and Series E preferred stock for $402.9 million.
In July 2021, the Company issued a notice of redemption for all of its outstanding Series G preferred stock, to be settled in August 2021 using proceeds from its securitized financing facility.
All preferred stock redemptions are at $25.00 per share liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends prorated to their respective redemption dates. The excess or deficit of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference over the carrying value of the respective preferred stock redeemed results in a decrease or increase to net income attributable to common stockholders.
Common Stock
Except with respect to voting rights, class A common stock and class B common stock have the same rights and privileges and rank equally, share ratably in dividends and distributions, and are identical in all respects as to all matters. Class A common stock has one vote per share and class B common stock has thirty-six and one-half votes per share. This gives the holders of class B common stock a right to vote that reflects the aggregate outstanding non-voting economic interest in the Company (in the form of OP Units) attributable to class B common stock holders and therefore, does not provide any disproportionate voting rights. Class B common stock was issued as consideration in the Company's acquisition in April 2015 of the investment management business and operations of its former manager, which was previously controlled by the Company's former Executive Chairman. Each share of class B common stock shall convert automatically into one share of class A common stock if the former Executive Chairman or his beneficiaries directly or indirectly transfer beneficial ownership of class B common stock or OP Units held by them, other than to certain qualified transferees, which generally includes affiliates and employees. In addition, each holder of class B common stock has the right, at the holder’s option, to convert all or a portion of such holder’s class B common stock into an equal number of shares of class A common stock.
The Company suspended dividends on its class A common stock beginning with the second quarter of 2020. Payment of common dividends was previously subject to certain restrictions under the terms of the corporate credit facility, which was terminated in July 2021. The Company continues to monitor its financial performance and liquidity position, and as economic conditions improve, the Company will reevaluate its dividend policy.
Common Stock Repurchases
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company repurchased 12,733,204 shares of its class A common stock at an aggregate cost of $24.6 million, or a weighted average price of $1.93 per share, pursuant to a $300 million share repurchase program that expired in May 2020.
Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan
The Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP Plan”) provides existing common stockholders and other investors the opportunity to purchase shares (or additional shares, as applicable) of the Company's class A common stock by reinvesting some or all of the cash dividends received on their shares of the Company's class A common stock or making optional cash purchases within specified parameters. The DRIP Plan involves the acquisition of the Company's class A common stock either in the open market, directly from the Company as newly issued common stock, or in privately negotiated transactions with third parties. There were no shares of class A common stock acquired under the DRIP Plan in the form of new issuances in 2021 and 2020.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The following tables present the changes in each component of AOCI attributable to stockholders and noncontrolling interests in investment entities, net of immaterial tax effect. AOCI attributable to noncontrolling interests in Operating Company is immaterial.

Strategic Partnership in the Company's Digital Investment Management Business
In July 2020, the Company formed a strategic partnership with affiliates of Wafra, Inc. (collectively, "Wafra"), a private investment firm and a global partner for alternative asset managers, in which Wafra made a minority investment in substantially all of the Company's digital investment management business (as defined for purposes of this transaction, the "Digital IM Business"). The investment entitles Wafra to participate in approximately 31.5% of the net management fees and carried interest generated by the Digital IM Business.
Pursuant to this strategic partnership, Wafra has assumed directly and also indirectly through a participation interest $77.0 million of the Company's commitments to DCP I, and has a $40.0 million commitment to DCP II that has been partially funded to-date. Wafra has also agreed to make commitments to the Company's future digital funds and investment vehicles on a pro rata basis with the Company based on Wafra's percentage interest in the Digital IM Business, subject to certain caps.
In addition, the Company issued Wafra five warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 5% (on a fully-diluted, post-transaction basis) of the Company’s class A common stock. Each warrant entitles Wafra to purchase up to 5,352,000 shares of the Company's class A common stock, with staggered strike prices between $2.43 and $6.00 for each warrant, exercisable until July 17, 2026. No warrants have been exercised to-date.
Wafra paid cash consideration of $253.6 million at closing in exchange for its investment in the Digital IM Business and for the warrants. As previously agreed, Wafra paid additional consideration of $29.9 million in the Digital IM Business in April 2021 based upon the Digital IM Business having achieved a minimum run-rate of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (as defined for the purpose of this computation) of $72.0 million as of December 31, 2020.
Under certain circumstances following such time as the Digital IM Business comprises 90% or more of the Company's assets, the Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the conversion of Wafra's interest into shares of the Company's class A common stock. There can be no assurances that such conversion would occur or on what terms and conditions such conversion would occur, including whether such conversion, if it did occur in the future, would have any adverse impact on the Company, the Company’s stock price, governance and other matters.
Wafra has customary minority rights and certain other structural protections designed to protect its interests, including redemption rights with respect to its investment in the Digital IM Business and its funded commitments in certain digital funds. Wafra's redemption rights will be triggered upon the occurrence of certain events, including key person or cause events under the governing documents of certain digital funds and for a limited period, upon Marc Ganzi, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and Ben Jenkins, Chief Investment Officer of the Company's digital real estate and infrastructure platform, ceasing to fulfill certain time and attention commitments to the Digital IM business.
To further enhance the alignment of interests, the Company entered into an amended and restated restrictive covenant agreement with each of Mr. Ganzi and Mr. Jenkins, pursuant to which they agreed to certain enhanced non-solicitation provisions and extension of the term of existing non-competition agreements.
Wafra’s investment provides the Company with permanent capital to pursue strategic digital infrastructure investments and further grow the Digital IM Business.
Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Company
Certain current and former employees of the Company directly or indirectly own interests in OP, presented as noncontrolling interests in the Operating Company. Noncontrolling interests in OP have the right to require OP to redeem part or all of such member’s OP Units for cash based on the market value of an equivalent number of shares of class A common stock at the time of redemption, or at the Company's election as managing member of OP, through issuance of shares of class A common stock (registered or unregistered) on a one-for-one basis. At the end of each period, noncontrolling interests in OP is adjusted to reflect their ownership percentage in OP at the end of the period, through a reallocation between controlling and noncontrolling interests in OP.
Redemption of OP Units—The Company redeemed 5,367 OP Units during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2,184,395 OP Units during the year ended December 31, 2020, with the issuance of an equal number of shares of class A common stock on a one-for-one basis.

__________
(1) Represents debt related to assets held for disposition if the debt is expected to be assumed by the acquirer upon sale or if the debt is expected to be extinguished through lender's assumption of underlying collateral, and includes debt that is in receivership, in payment default or not in compliance with certain debt covenants. Includes the 5.375% exchangeable senior notes and junior subordinated debt (as described in Note 14) which are obligations of NRF Holdco as the issuer.
Impairment of Assets Classified as Held for Disposition and Discontinued Operations
Real Estate and Related Intangible Assets—Real estate classified as held for disposition and discontinued operations that has been written down and carried at fair value totaled $3.8 billion at June 30, 2021 and $4.7 billion at December 31, 2020, generally representing fair value using Level 3 inputs. Impairment of real estate and related intangibles held for disposition was $242.6 million and $1.5 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $362.3 million and $1.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, reflected in discontinued operations (Note 12).
Properties that were written down to estimated fair value at the time they were classified as held for disposition in both years were valued using either estimated recoverable value, sales price, broker opinions of value, or third-party appraisals, and in certain cases, adjusted as deemed appropriate by management to account for the inherent risk associated with specific properties. The impairment assessment in 2020 also factored in the economic effects of COVID-19 on real estate values. Fair value of these properties was generally reduced for estimated selling costs, ranging from 1% to 3% of fair value.
For properties that were impaired prior to being classified as held for sale and discontinued operations, largely in 2020, impairment was attributed primarily to shortened hold period assumptions, particularly in the hotel and wellness infrastructure portfolios, driven by the Company's accelerated digital transformation in the second quarter of 2020, and/or to a lesser extent, decline in property operating performance, in part from the economic effects of COVID-19. Fair value of these properties was estimated based upon: (i) third party appraisals, (ii) broker opinions of value with discounts applied based upon management judgment, (iii) income capitalization approach, using net operating income for each property and applying capitalization rates between 10.0% and 12.0%; or (iv) discounted cash flow analyses with terminal values determined using terminal capitalization rates between 7.3% and 11.3%, and discount rates between 8.5% and 9.5%. The Company considered the risk characteristics of the properties and adjusted the capitalization rates and/or discount rates as applicable.
Goodwill—Upon termination of the BRSP management contract on April 30, 2021, the Other IM goodwill balance of $81.6 million was fully written off as the remaining value of the Other IM reporting unit represented principally the BRSP management contract. The receipt of a one-time termination payment of $102.3 million at closing consequently resulted in a net gain of $20.7 million, recognized within other gain (loss) in discontinued operations (Note 12).
The Company had previously recognized impairment loss on its Other IM goodwill of $79.0 million in the first quarter of 2020 and $515.0 million in the second quarter of 2020. In light of the economic effects of COVID-19 and the Company's acceleration of its digital transformation in the second quarter of 2020, both of which represented indicators of impairment, the Company's quantitative tests indicated that the carrying value of the Other IM reporting unit, including goodwill, was in excess of its estimated fair value at March 31, 2020 and at June 30, 2020. The remaining fair value of the Other IM reporting unit was determined to be principally in the BRSP management contract, as no value was ascribed to (a) the future capital raising potential of the non-digital credit and opportunity fund management business as it is no longer part of the Company's long-term strategy; and (b) the hypothetical contract of internally managing the Company's non-digital balance sheet assets following significant decreases in asset values in 2020.
Other Intangible Assets—In the first quarter of 2021, investor relationship intangible asset in Other IM was impaired by $4.0 million (Note 12) to a fair value of $5.5 million at the time of impairment based upon estimated recoverable value in a potential monetization of the Company's Other IM business. During the year ended December 31, 2020, management contracts were impaired by $4.3 million to an aggregate fair value of $8.4 million at the time of impairment. Fair value was based upon the revised future net cash flows over the remaining life of the contracts, generally discounted at 10%, and represent fair value using Level 3 inputs.
Equity Method Investments—Impairment on equity method investments classified as held for disposition and discontinued operations was $57.5 million and $23.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, reflected within equity method losses in discontinued operations (Note 12). Equity method investments that were impaired and written down to fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020 totaled $491.8 million and $701.8 million, respectively, at the time of impairment, representing fair value using Level 3 inputs. Impairment recorded in 2021 was based upon estimated recoverable values, primarily on ADC loans accounted for as equity method investments. Significant impairment was also recorded on these ADC loans in the fourth quarter of 2020, previously driven by reduced future cash flow streams expected from these investments, primarily taking into consideration a combination of lower land values, delayed leasing, and/or offer prices in the current market, generally discounted at rates between 10% to 20%. Other impairment charges during 2020 were generally determined using estimated recoverable values for investments resolved or sold, investment values based upon projected exit strategies, or fair values based upon discounted expected future cash flows from the investments.
Assets Carried at Fair Value—These assets are composed of equity investments valued based upon NAV, and equity method investments and loans receivable for which the fair value option was elected. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 when these assets were classified as held for disposition and discontinued operations, unrealized fair value losses were recognized in other loss of $3.1 million for equity investments and $101.8 million for loans receivable, and in equity method losses of $24.3 million for equity method investments (Note 12). Additional information is included Note 13 under "—Level 3 Recurring Fair Values."
12. Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations represent the following:
•Wellness Infrastructure—operations of the Wellness Infrastructure business, along with other non-core assets held by NRF Holdco, primarily: (i) the Company's equity interest in and management of NorthStar Healthcare, debt securities collateralized largely by certain debt and preferred equity within the capital structure of the Wellness Infrastructure portfolio, limited partnership interests in private equity real estate funds; as well as (ii) the 5.375% exchangeable senior notes, trust preferred securities and corresponding junior subordinated debt, all of which were issued by NRF Holdco who acts as guarantor.
•Other—operations of substantially all of the OED investments and Other IM business in the Other segment, composed of various non-digital real estate, real estate-related equity and debt investments, general partner interests and management rights with respect to these assets, management of BRSP prior to termination of its contract, and underlying compensation and administrative costs for managing these assets.
•Hotel—operations of the Company's Hospitality segment and the THL Hotel Portfolio in the Other segment. In March 2021, the Company sold five of the six portfolios in the Hospitality segment, and the Company's 55.6% interest in the THL Hotel Portfolio which was deconsolidated upon sale. One hotel portfolio remains in receivership and is under contract for sale by the lender.
•Industrial—operations of the bulk industrial portfolio prior to its sale in December 2020.

13. Fair Value
Recurring Fair Values
The table below presents a summary of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis, including financial instruments for which the fair value option was elected, but excluding financial assets under the NAV practical expedient, categorized into the three tier fair value hierarchy that is prioritized based upon the level of transparency in inputs used in the valuation techniques, as follows:
Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in non-active markets, or valuation techniques utilizing inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable data directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3—At least one assumption or input is unobservable and it is significant to the fair value measurement, requiring significant management judgment or estimate.

Marketable Equity Securities
Marketable equity securities consist of publicly traded equity securities held largely by private open-end funds sponsored and consolidated by the Company, and prior to January 2021, equity investment in a third party mutual fund. The equity securities of the consolidated funds comprise listed stocks primarily in the U.S. and to a lesser extent, in Europe, and predominantly in the digital real estate and telecommunication sectors. These marketable equity securities are valued based upon listed prices in active markets and classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Debt Securities
The Company's investment in debt securities is composed of available-for-sale ("AFS") N-Star CDO bonds, which are subordinate bonds retained by NRF Holdco from its sponsored collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs"), and CDO bonds originally issued by NRF Holdco that it subsequently repurchased at a discount. These CDOs are collateralized primarily by commercial real estate debt and securities.
The following tables summarize the balance of the N-Star CDO bonds.

There were no sales of N-Star CDO bonds during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020.
These CDOs have long-dated stated maturities through 2037 and 2041, however, the Company expects the N-Star CDO bonds to have remaining future cash flows up to 2.5 years from June 30, 2021.
Fair value of N-Star CDO bonds, classified as Level 3, are determined using an internal price interpolated based upon third party prices of the senior N-Star CDO bonds of the respective CDOs, and applying the Company's knowledge of the underlying collateral and recent trades, if any within the securitizations.
Impairment of AFS Debt Securities
AFS debt securities are considered to be impaired if their fair value is less than their amortized cost basis. If the Company intends to sell or is more likely than not required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost, the entire impairment amount is recognized in earnings within other gain (loss) as a write-off of the amortized cost basis of the debt security. If the Company does not intend to sell or is not more likely than not required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost, the credit component of the loss is recognized in earnings within other gain (loss) as an allowance for credit loss, which may be subject to reversal for subsequent recoveries in fair value. The non-credit loss component is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss ("OCI"). The allowance is charged off against the amortized cost basis of the security if in a subsequent period, the Company intends to or is more likely than not required to sell the security, or if the Company deems the security to be uncollectible.
Changes in allowance for credit losses for AFS debt securities are presented below:

Credit losses were determined based upon an analysis of the present value of contractual cash flows expected to be collected from the underlying collateral as compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no AFS debt securities in unrealized loss position without allowance for credit loss.
Derivatives
The Company's derivative instruments generally consist of: (i) foreign currency put options, forward contracts and costless collars to hedge the foreign currency exposure of certain investments in foreign subsidiaries or equity method joint ventures (in EUR and in GBP), with notional amounts and termination dates based upon the anticipated return of capital from these investments; and (ii) interest rate caps to limit the exposure to changes in interest rates on various floating rate debt obligations (indexed primarily to LIBOR and to a lesser extent, EURIBOR and GBP LIBOR). These derivative contracts may be designated as qualifying hedge accounting relationships, specifically as net investment hedges and cash flow hedges, respectively. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, notional amounts aggregated to the equivalent of $164.6 million and $350.5 million, respectively, for foreign exchange contracts, and the equivalent of $2.8 billion and $4.6 billion, respectively, for interest rate contracts, all of which were composed predominantly of non-designated economic hedges. The derivative instruments are subject to master netting arrangements with counterparties that allow the Company to offset the settlement of derivative assets and liabilities in the same currency by instrument type or, in the event of default by the counterparty, to offset all derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty. Notwithstanding the conditions for right of offset may have been met, the Company presents derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty on a gross basis on the consolidated balance sheets.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments are recorded in other gain (loss) on the consolidated statement of operations, other than interest expense, as follows:

(1) The portion of derivative notional that is in excess of the beginning balance of the foreign denominated net investment is dedesignated upon a reassessment of the effectiveness of net investment hedges at period end.
(2) Represents amortization of the cost of designated interest rate caps to interest expense based upon expected hedged interest payments on variable
rate debt.
Prior to January 2021, the Company had entered into a series of forward contracts on its shares in a third party real estate mutual fund in an aggregate notional amount of $119 million and a series of swap contracts with the same counterparty to pay the return of the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Total Return Index. The forward and swap contracts were settled upon expiration in January 2021 through delivery of all of the Company's shares in the mutual fund, realizing an immaterial net loss upon settlement. The forwards and swaps were not designated accounting hedges. At December 31, 2020, the forwards and swaps were in a liability position of $102.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the forwards and swaps had realized and unrealized fair value losses totaling $7.4 million and gains totaling $27.1 million, respectively, which were partially offset by an increase in NAV of $10.8 million and a decrease in NAV of $22.3 million, respectively, in the Company's investment in the mutual fund, both of which were recorded in other income on the consolidated statement of operations.
The Company's foreign currency and interest rate contracts are generally traded over-the-counter, and are valued using a third-party service provider. Quotations on over-the-counter derivatives are not adjusted and are generally valued using observable inputs such as contractual cash flows, yield curve, foreign currency rates and credit spreads, and are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Although credit valuation adjustments, such as the risk of default, rely on Level 3 inputs, these inputs are not significant to the overall valuation of the derivatives. As a result, derivative valuations in their entirety are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Settlement Liability
In March 2020, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with Blackwells Capital LLC ("Blackwells"), a stockholder of the Company. Pursuant to the cooperation agreement, Blackwells agreed to a standstill in its proxy contest with the Company, and to abide by certain voting commitments, including a standstill with respect to the Company until the expiration of the agreement in March 2030 and voting in favor of the Board of Director’s recommendations until the third anniversary of the agreement.
Contemporaneously, the Company and Blackwells entered into a joint venture arrangement for the purpose of acquiring, holding and disposing of the Company's class A common stock. Pursuant to the arrangement, the Company contributed its class A common stock, valued at $14.7 million by the venture, and Blackwells contributed $1.47 million of cash that was then distributed to the Company, resulting in a net capital contribution of $13.23 million by the Company in the venture. All of the class A common stock held in the venture was repurchased by the Company in March 2020 (Note 9). Distributions from the joint venture arrangement upon dissolution effectively represent a settlement of the proxy contest with Blackwells. The initial fair value of the arrangement was recorded as a settlement loss on the statement of operations in March 2020, with a corresponding liability on the balance sheet, subject to remeasurement at each period end. The settlement liability represents the fair value of the disproportionate allocation of profits distribution to Blackwells pursuant to the joint venture arrangement. The profits are derived from dividend payments and appreciation in value of the Company's class A common stock, allocated between the Company and Blackwells based upon specified return hurdles.
In June 2021, Blackwells terminated the arrangement and the joint venture was dissolved. The profits distribution allocated to Blackwells was valued at $47.0 million and paid in the form of 5.95 million shares of the Company's class A common stock, with $22.8 million recognized in 2021 through termination as other loss on the consolidated statement of operations.
Prior to dissolution of the arrangement, the settlement liability, classified as a Level 3 fair value, was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation under a risk-neutral premise, assuming that the final distribution would occur at the end of the third year in March 2023. At December 31, 2020, the settlement liability was valued at $24.3 million, applying the following assumptions: (a) expected volatility of the Company's class A common stock of 67.2% based upon a combination of historical and implied volatility of the Company's class A common stock; (b) zero expected dividend yield given the Company's suspension of its common stock dividend beginning the second quarter of 2020; and (c) risk free rate of 0.14% per annum based upon a compounded zero-coupon U.S. Treasury yield. During 2020, the settlement liability increased approximately $20.4 million from inception in March 2020, recorded as other loss on the consolidated statement of operations.
Fair Value Option
Equity Method Investments
Equity method investments for which the fair value option was elected are carried at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair values are determined using either indicative sales price, NAV of the underlying funds, or discounted future cash flows based upon expected income and realization events of the underlying assets. Fair value of equity method investments are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in fair value of equity method investments under the fair value option are recorded in equity method earnings (losses).
Loans Receivable
Loans receivable consist of mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and non-mortgage loans carried at fair value under the fair value option. Loans held for disposition are measured at their selling price. Fair value of loans held for investment is determined by comparing the current yield to the estimated yield of newly originated loans with similar credit risk or the market yield at which a third party might expect to purchase such investment, or based upon discounted cash flow projections of principal and interest expected to be collected, which include, but are not limited to, consideration of the financial standing of the borrower or sponsor as well as operating results and/or value of the underlying collateral.
Loans that are 90 days or more past due as to principal or interest, or where reasonable doubt exists as to timely collection, are generally considered nonperforming and placed on nonaccrual status, all of which are held for disposition as presented in the table below. Such loans include distressed loan portfolios that are held for disposition, previously acquired by the Company at a discount (classified as purchased credit-impaired loans prior to the election of fair value option).

(1) Weighted average discount rates are calculated based upon undiscounted cash flows.
(2) Represents the directional change in fair value that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the reverse effect. Significant increases or decreases in these inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measures.
(3) Fair value was estimated based upon underlying NAV of the respective funds on a quarter lag, adjusted as deemed appropriate by management, considering the cash flows provided by the general partners of the funds and the implied yields of the funds.
(4) Based upon actual or indicative transaction values of the respective loans, investments or underlying assets of the investee. At December 31, 2020, acquisition price was deemed to approximate fair value for investee engaged in real estate development during the development stage.
The following table presents changes in recurring Level 3 fair value assets. Loans receivable and equity method investments under the fair value option are predominantly held for disposition. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) are included in AOCI for AFS debt securities and in other gain (loss) on the consolidated statement of operations for other assets carried at fair value.

The Company's interests in the private funds are not subject to redemption, with distributions to be received through liquidation of underlying investments of the funds. The private funds each have eight and ten year lives, respectively, at inception, both of which may be extended in one year increments up to two years.
No secondary market currently exists for shares of the non-traded REIT and the Company does not currently expect to seek liquidity of its shares of the non-traded REIT. Subject to then-existing market conditions, the board of directors of the non-traded REIT, along with the Company, as sponsor, are expected to consider alternatives for providing liquidity to the non-traded REIT shares beginning 2021, five years from completion of the offering stage, but with no definitive date by which it must do so. In addition, the Company has agreed that any right to have its shares redeemed is subordinated to third party stockholders for so long as its advisory agreement is in effect.
Nonrecurring Fair Values
The Company measures fair value of certain assets on a nonrecurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Adjustments to fair value generally result from the application of lower of amortized cost or fair value accounting for assets held for disposition or otherwise, write-down of asset values due to impairment. Impairment is discussed in Note 11 for real estate, Notes 5 and 11 for equity method investments, and Notes 6 and 11 for intangible assets, including goodwill.

Debt—Senior notes were valued using the last trade price in active markets or unadjusted quoted price in non-active market for the senior note that is held for disposition. Fair value of the corporate credit facility and secured debt, including amounts held for disposition, was estimated by discounting expected future cash outlays at interest rates available to the Company for similar instruments. Junior subordinated debt that is held for disposition was valued based upon unadjusted quotations from a third party valuation firm, with such quotes derived using a combination of internal valuation models, comparable trades in non-active markets and other market data.
Other—The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, due from and to affiliates, interest payable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short term nature and credit risk, if any, are negligible.
14. Variable Interest Entities
A VIE is an entity that lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or whose equity holders lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The following discusses the Company's involvement with VIEs where the Company is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIEs or where the Company is not the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the VIEs.
Operating Subsidiary
The Company's operating subsidiary, OP, is a limited liability company that has governing provisions that are the functional equivalent of a limited partnership. The Company holds the majority of membership interest in OP, acts as the managing member of OP and exercises full responsibility, discretion and control over the day-to-day management of OP. The noncontrolling interests in OP do not have substantive liquidation rights, substantive kick-out rights without cause, or substantive participating rights that could be exercised by a simple majority of noncontrolling interest members (including by such a member unilaterally). The absence of such rights, which represent voting rights in a limited partnership equivalent structure, would render OP to be a VIE. The Company, as managing member, has the power to direct the core
activities of OP that most significantly affect OP's performance, and through its majority interest in OP, has both the right to receive benefits from and the obligation to absorb losses of OP. Accordingly, the Company is the primary beneficiary of OP and consolidates OP. As the Company conducts its business and holds its assets and liabilities through OP, the total assets and liabilities of OP represent substantially all of the total consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company.
Company-Sponsored Private Funds
The Company sponsors private funds and other investment vehicles as general partner for the purpose of providing investment management services in exchange for management fees and performance-based fees. These private funds are established as limited partnerships or equivalent structures. Limited partners of the private funds do not have either substantive liquidation rights, or substantive kick-out rights without cause, or substantive participating rights that could be exercised by a simple majority of limited partners or by a single limited partner. Accordingly, the absence of such rights, which represent voting rights in a limited partnership, results in the private funds being considered VIEs. The nature of the Company's involvement with its sponsored funds comprise fee arrangements and equity interests. The fee arrangements are commensurate with the level of management services provided by the Company, and contain terms and conditions that are customary to similar at-market fee arrangements.
Consolidated Company-Sponsored Private Funds—The Company currently consolidates sponsored private funds in which it has more than an insignificant equity interest in the fund as general partner. As a result, the Company is considered to be acting in the capacity of a principal of the sponsored private fund and is therefore the primary beneficiary of the fund. The Company’s exposure is limited to the value of its outstanding investment in the consolidated private funds of $49.0 million at June 30, 2021 and $46.5 million at December 31, 2020. The Company, as general partner, is not obligated to provide any financial support to the consolidated private funds. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the consolidated private funds had total assets of $207.6 million and $172.2 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $56.8 million and $41.8 million, respectively, made up primarily of cash, marketable equity securities and unsettled trades.
Unconsolidated Company-Sponsored Private Funds—The Company does not consolidate its sponsored private funds where it has insignificant direct equity interests or capital commitments to these funds as general partner. The Company may invest alongside certain of its sponsored private funds through joint ventures between the Company and these funds, or the Company may have capital commitments to its sponsored private funds that are satisfied directly through the co-investment joint ventures as an affiliate of the general partner. In these instances, the co-investment joint ventures are consolidated by the Company. As the Company's direct equity interests in its sponsored private funds as general partner absorb insignificant variability, the Company is considered to be acting in the capacity of an agent of these funds and is therefore not the primary beneficiary of these funds. The Company accounts for its equity interests in unconsolidated sponsored private funds under the equity method. The Company's maximum exposure to loss is limited to the carrying value of its investment in the unconsolidated sponsored private funds, totaling $304.0 million at June 30, 2021 and $214.4 million at December 31, 2020, included within equity and debt investments.
Securitizations
The Company previously securitized loans receivable and CRE debt securities using VIEs. Upon securitization, the Company had retained beneficial interests in the securitization vehicles, usually in the form of equity tranches or subordinate securities. The Company also acquired securities issued by securitization trusts that are VIEs. The securitization vehicles were structured as pass-through entities that receive principal and interest on the underlying mortgage loans and debt securities and distribute those payments to the holders of the notes, certificates or bonds issued by the securitization vehicles. The loans and debt securities were transferred into securitization vehicles such that these assets are restricted and legally isolated from the creditors of the Company, and therefore are not available to satisfy the Company's obligations but only the obligations of the securitization vehicles. The obligations of the securitization vehicles did not have any recourse to the general credit of the Company and its other subsidiaries.
Unconsolidated Securitizations—The Company does not consolidate the assets and liabilities of CDOs in which the Company has an interest but does not retain the collateral management function. NRF Holdco had previously delegated the collateral management rights for certain sponsored N-Star CDOs and third party-sponsored CDOs to a third party collateral manager or collateral manager delegate who is entitled to a percentage of the senior and subordinate collateral management fees. The Company continues to receive fees as named collateral manager or collateral manager delegate and retained administrative responsibilities. The Company determined that the fees paid to the third party collateral manager or collateral manager delegate represent a variable interest in the CDOs and that the third party is acting as a principal. The Company concluded that it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these CDOs, which include but are not limited to, the ability to sell distressed collateral, and therefore the Company is not the primary beneficiary of such CDOs and does not consolidate these CDOs. The Company’s exposure to loss is limited to its investment in these unconsolidated CDOs, comprising CDO bonds, which
aggregate to $31.2 million at June 30, 2021 and $21.9 million at December 31, 2020, as described further in Note 13. These CDOs are included within assets held for disposition on the consolidated balance sheet (Note 11).
Trusts
Wholly-owned subsidiaries of NRF Holdco that were formed as statutory trusts, NorthStar Realty Finance Trust I through VIII (the “Trusts”), previously issued trust preferred securities ("TruPS") in private placement offerings and used the proceeds to purchase junior subordinated notes to evidence loans made to NRF Holdco. The sole assets of the Trusts consist of a like amount of junior subordinated notes issued by the Issuer at the time of the offerings (the "Junior Notes"). Neither the Company nor the OP is an obligor or guarantor on the Junior Notes or the TruPS. NRF Holdco may redeem the Junior Notes at par, in whole or in part, for cash, after five years. To the extent NRF Holdco redeems the Junior Notes, the Trusts are required to redeem a corresponding amount of TruPS.
The Company owns all of the common stock of the Trusts but does not consolidate the Trusts as the holders of the preferred securities issued by the Trusts are the primary beneficiaries of the Trusts. The Company accounts for its interest in the Trusts under the equity method and its maximum exposure to loss is limited to its investment carrying value of $3.7 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Trusts are recorded as equity investments and the junior subordinated notes as debt, both classified as held for disposition on the consolidated balance sheet (Note 11).

(1) With respect to the assumed conversion or exchange of the Company's outstanding senior notes, the following are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be antidilutive: (a) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the effect of adding back $7.9 million and $7.1 million of interest expense, respectively, and 144,259,100 and 38,112,100 of weighted average dilutive common share equivalents, respectively; and (b) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the effect of adding back $15.6 million and $14.2 million of interest expense, respectively, and 144,416,700 and 38,112,100 of weighted average dilutive common share equivalents, respectively.
(2) The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the following as their inclusion would be antidilutive: (a) class A common shares that are contingently issuable in relation to performance stock units (Note 17) with weighted average shares of 13,225,000 and 6,047,300 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 11,810,500 and 3,784,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively; and (b) class A common shares that are issuable to net settle the exercise of warrants (Note 10) with weighted average shares of 11,458,300 and 9,670,500 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
(3) OP Units may be redeemed for registered or unregistered class A common stock on a one-for-one basis and are not dilutive. At June 30, 2021 and 2020, 51,993,800 and 53,076,700 of OP Units, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for all periods presented.

Management Fees—The Company earns management fees for the day-to-day operations and administration of its sponsored digital private funds and other digital investment vehicles, generally at an annual rate ranging from 0.45% to 1.50% of investors' committed capital during commitment or investment period, and thereafter, of contributed or invested capital.
Incentive Fees—The Company earns incentive fees from various managed accounts based upon the performance of the respective accounts, subject to the achievement of specified return thresholds in accordance with the terms set out in their respective governing agreements. A portion of the incentive fees earned by the Company (generally 60%) is allocable to senior management, investment professionals, and certain other employees of the Company, included in carried interest and incentive fee compensation expense.
Other Fee Income—Other fees include primarily service fees for information technology, facilities and operational support provided to portfolio companies.
17. Equity-Based Compensation
The Colony Capital, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan") provides for the grant of restricted stock, performance stock units ("PSUs"), Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") units, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), deferred stock units ("DSUs"), options, warrants or rights to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, cash incentives and other equity-based awards to the Company's officers, directors (including non-employee directors), employees, co-employees, consultants or advisors of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary who provides services to the Company. Shares reserved for the issuance of awards under the Equity Incentive Plan are subject to equitable adjustment upon the occurrence of certain corporate events, provided that this number automatically increases each January 1st by 2% of the outstanding number of shares of the Company’s class A common stock on the immediately preceding December 31st. At June 30, 2021, an aggregate 73.8 million shares of the Company's class A common stock were reserved for the issuance of awards under the Equity Incentive Plan.
Restricted Stock—Restricted stock awards in the Company's class A common stock are granted to senior executives, directors and certain employees, generally subject to a service condition only, with annual time-based vesting in equal tranches over a three-year period. Restricted stock is entitled to dividends declared and paid on the Company's class A common stock and such dividends are not forfeitable prior to vesting of the award. Restricted stock awards are valued based on the Company's class A common stock price on grant date and equity-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
Restricted Stock Units—RSUs in the Company's class A common stock are subject to a performance condition. Vesting of performance-based RSUs occur upon achievement of certain Company-specific metrics over a performance measurement period. Only vested RSUs are entitled to accrued dividends declared and paid on the Company's class A common stock during the time period the RSUs are outstanding. Fair value of RSUs are based on the Company's class A common stock price on grant date. Equity-based compensation expense is recognized when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be met.
Performance Stock Units—PSUs are granted to senior executives and certain employees, and are subject to both a service condition and a market condition. Following the end of the measurement period, the recipients of PSUs who remain employed will vest in, and be issued a number of shares of the Company's class A common stock, generally ranging from 0% to 200% of the number of PSUs granted and determined based upon the performance of the Company's class A common stock relative to that of a specified peer group over a three-year measurement period (such
measurement metric the "total shareholder return"). In addition, recipients of PSUs whose employment is terminated after the first anniversary of their PSU grant are eligible to vest in a portion of the PSU award following the end of the measurement period based upon achievement of the total shareholder return metric applicable to the award. PSUs also contain dividend equivalent rights which entitle the recipients to a payment equal to the amount of dividends that would have been paid on the shares that are ultimately issued at the end of the measurement period.
Fair value of PSUs, including dividend equivalent rights, was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation under a risk-neutral premise, with the following assumptions:

(1) Based upon the historical volatility of the Company's stock and those of a specified peer group.
(2) Based upon the Company's expected annualized dividends. Expected dividend yield is zero for the 2021 PSU award as the Company suspended common dividends beginning with the second quarter of 2020.
(3) Based upon the continuously compounded zero-coupon U.S. Treasury yield for the term coinciding with the remaining measurement period of the award as of valuation date.
Fair value of PSU awards, excluding dividend equivalent rights, is recognized on a straight-line basis over their measurement period as compensation expense, and is not subject to reversal even if the market condition is not achieved. The dividend equivalent right is accounted for as a liability-classified award. The fair value of the dividend equivalent right is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the measurement period, and is subject to adjustment to fair value at each reporting period.
LTIP Units—LTIP units are units in the Operating Company that are designated as profits interests for federal income tax purposes. Unvested LTIP units that are subject to market conditions do not accrue distributions. Each vested LTIP unit is convertible, at the election of the holder (subject to capital account limitation), into one common OP Unit and upon conversion, subject to the redemption terms of OP Units (Note 9).
LTIP units issued have either (1) a service condition only, valued based upon the Company's class A common stock price on grant date; or (2) both a service condition and a market condition based upon the Company's class A common stock achieving target prices over predetermined measurement periods, subject to continuous employment to the time of vesting, and valued using a Monte Carlo simulation.
The following assumptions were applied in the Monte Carlo model under a risk-neutral premise:

__________
(1) Represents 10 million LTIP units granted to Marc Ganzi in connection with the Company's acquisition of Digital Bridge Holdings, LLC in July 2019, with vesting based upon achievement of the Company's class A common stock price closing at or above $10 over any 90 consecutive trading days prior to the fifth anniversary of the grant date.
(2) Based upon historical volatility of the Company's stock and those of a specified peer group.
(3) Based upon the Company's most recently issued dividend prior to grant date and closing price of the Company's class A common stock on grant date. Expected dividend yield is zero for the 2020 LTIP award as the Company suspended common dividends beginning with the second quarter of 2020.
(4) Based upon the continuously compounded zero-coupon US Treasury yield for the term coinciding with the measurement period of the award as of valuation date.
Equity-based compensation cost on LTIP units is recognized on a straight-line basis either over (1) the service period for awards with a service condition only; or (2) the derived service period for awards with both a service condition and a market condition, irrespective of whether the market condition is satisfied. The derived service period is a service period that is inferred from the application of the simulation technique used in the valuation of the award, and represents the median of the terms in the simulation in which the market condition is satisfied.
Deferred Stock Units—Certain non-employee directors may elect to defer the receipt of annual base fees and/or restricted stock awards, and in lieu, receive awards of DSUs. DSUs awarded in lieu of annual base fees are fully vested on their grant date, while DSUs awarded in lieu of restricted stock awards vest one year from their grant date. DSUs are
entitled to a dividend equivalent, in the form of additional DSUs based on dividends declared and paid on the Company's class A common stock, subject to the same restrictions and vesting conditions, where applicable. Upon separation of service from the Company, vested DSUs will be settled in shares of the Company’s class A common stock. Fair value of DSUs are determined based on the price of the Company's class A common stock on grant date and recognized immediately if fully vested upon grant, or on a straight-line basis over the vesting period as equity based compensation expense and equity.
Equity-based compensation expense, excluding amounts related to businesses presented as discontinued operations (Note 12), is as follows:

(3) Number of PSUs granted does not reflect potential increases or decreases that could result from the final outcome of the total shareholder return measured at the end of the performance period. PSUs for which the total shareholder return was not met at the end of the performance period are forfeited.
Fair value of equity awards that vested, determined based upon their respective fair values at vesting date, was $26.1 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $53.7 million and $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
At June 30, 2021, aggregate unrecognized compensation cost for all unvested equity awards was $73.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.
Awards Granted by Managed Companies
Prior to the termination of the Company’s management agreement with BRSP on April 30, 2021, BRSP granted restricted stock to the Company and certain of the Company's employees ("managed company awards") that typically vest over a three-year period, subject to a service condition. Generally, the Company granted the managed company awards that it received in its capacity as manager to its employees with substantially the same terms and service requirements. Such grants were made at the discretion of the Company, and the Company may consult with the board of directors or compensation committee of BRSP as to final allocation of awards to its employees.
Managed company awards granted to the Company, pending grant by the Company to its employees, are recognized based upon their fair value at grant date as other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The deferred revenue liability is amortized into other income as the awards vest to the Company.
Managed company awards granted to employees, either directly or through the Company, are recorded as other asset and other liability, and amortized on a straight-line basis as equity-based compensation expense and as other income, respectively, as the awards vest to the employees. The other asset and other liability associated with managed company awards granted to employees are subject to adjustment to fair value at each reporting period, with changes reflected in equity-based compensation and other income, respectively.
Equity-based compensation related to BRSP awards granted by the Company to its employees was accelerated in the six months ended June 30, 2021 as the awards fully vested upon termination of the BRSP management contract in April 2021. Equity-based compensation was an expense of $0.7 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and an expense of $5.3 million and expense reversal of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, with corresponding amounts recognized in other income. The expense reversal occurred in the first quarter of 2020 due to a decrease in BRSP's stock price on March 31, 2020. Amounts recorded in both years are reflected within discontinued operations (Note 12).
18. Transactions with Affiliates
Affiliates include (i) private funds and other investment vehicles that the Company manages or sponsors, and in which the Company may have an equity interest or co-invests with; (ii) the Company's investments in unconsolidated ventures; and (iii) directors, senior executives and employees of the Company (collectively, "employees").
Amounts due from and due to affiliates consist of the following, excluding amounts related to discontinued operations that are presented as assets held for sale (Note 11):

Significant transactions with affiliates include the following:
Fee Income—Fee income earned from investment vehicles that the Company manages and/or sponsors, and may have an equity interest or co-investment, are presented in Note 16, except for amounts included within discontinued operations (Note 12) and assets held for sale (Note 11).
Cost Reimbursements—The Company receives reimbursements related largely to costs incurred in performing investment due diligence for funds and other investment vehicles managed by the Company.
Such cost reimbursements, included in other income, totaled $0.9 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $1.4 million and $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Reimbursements of direct and indirect operating costs for managing the operations of BRSP prior to April 30, 2021 and NorthStar Healthcare are reflected in other income within discontinued operations (Note 12) and related receivables are reflected as amounts due from affiliates within assets held for sale (Note 11).
Recoverable Expenses—The Company pays organization and offering costs associated with the formation and capital raising of investment vehicles sponsored by the Company, for which the Company recovers from these investment vehicles up to specified thresholds, as applicable.
NorthStar Healthcare Credit Facility—The Company provided NorthStar Healthcare with an unsecured revolving credit facility at market terms with a maximum principal amount of $35.0 million. In June 2021, the credit facility was extended from December 2022 to June 2023, with a six-month extension option. Advances under the credit facility accrue interest at LIBOR plus 3.5%, with no commitment fee for the unused portion. In April 2020, the credit facility was fully drawn and remained outstanding at June 30, 2021, reflected as amounts due from affiliates within assets held for sale (Note 11). The borrowing was fully repaid by NorthStar Healthcare in July 2021.
Digital Real Estate Acquisitions—In connection with acquisition of Vantage SDC in July 2020 (Note 3), the Company entered into a series of agreements with Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins, and their respective affiliates, pursuant to which Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins invested $8.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in Vantage SDC alongside the Company and the co-investors on the same economic terms. Such amounts invested represented 40% of carried interest payments received by each of Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins in connection with the Vantage SDC acquisition as a result of their respective personal investments in Vantage made prior to the Company’s acquisition of DBH. Payments to be made by the Company and its co-investors to the previous owners of Vantage SDC for future build-out of expansion capacity within the portfolio, including lease-up of the expanded capacity and existing inventory, will trigger additional carried interest
payments to Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins. Additionally, the day-to-day operations of Vantage SDC will continue to be managed by the existing management company of Vantage, in which Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins own a 50% interest in the aggregate. Fees paid to the Vantage management company were $3.2 million and $6.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
DataBank acquired all of zColo's colocation business in December 2020 and February 2021 from Zayo, which is a portfolio company of DCP I and other co-invest vehicles sponsored and managed by the Company.
In the aforementioned transactions, the Company took a series of steps to mitigate conflicts in the transactions, including receiving fairness opinions on the purchase price from a nationally recognized third party valuation firm. Additionally, the transactions, specifically the related party aspects of the transactions, were subject to the approval of either the Company's board of directors or the audit committee of the board of directors.
Arrangements with Company-Sponsored Private Funds—The Company co-invests alongside its sponsored private funds through joint ventures between the Company and the sponsored private fund. These co-investment joint ventures are consolidated by the Company. The Company has capital commitments, as general partner, directly into the private funds and as an affiliate of the general partner, capital commitments satisfied through co-investment joint ventures. In connection with the Company's commitments as an affiliate of the general partner, the Company is allocated a proportionate share of the costs of the private funds such as financing and administrative costs. Such costs expensed in the periods presented were immaterial and relate primarily to the Company's share of the funds' operating costs and deferred financing costs on borrowings of the funds.
Equity Awards of BRSP—As discussed in Note 17, prior to termination of the Company’s management agreement with BRSP in April 2021, BRSP granted equity awards to the Company and certain of the Company's employees, either directly or indirectly through the Company, are recognized as a gross-up of equity-based compensation expense over the vesting period with a corresponding amount in other income, reflected in discontinued operations.
Investment in Managed Investment Vehicles—Subject to the Company's related party policies and procedures, senior management, investment professionals and certain other employees may invest on a discretionary basis in investment vehicles sponsored by the Company, either directly in the vehicle or indirectly through the general partner entity. These investments are generally not subject to management fees, but otherwise bear their proportionate share of other operating expenses of the investment vehicles. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, such investments in consolidated investment vehicles and general partner entities totaled $31.7 million and $19.1 million, respectively, reflected in redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests on the balance sheet. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, their share of net income was $2.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, their share of net income was $2.5 million and a net loss of $0.2 million, respectively.
Aircraft—Pursuant to Mr. Ganzi’s employment agreement, as amended, the Company has agreed to reimburse Mr. Ganzi for certain variable operational costs of business travel on a chartered or private jet (including any aircraft that Mr. Ganzi may partially or fully own), provided that the Company will not reimburse the allocable share (based on the number of passengers) of variable operational costs for any passenger on such flight who is not traveling on Company business. Additionally, the Company has also agreed to reimburse Mr. Ganzi for certain defined fixed costs of any aircraft owned by Mr. Ganzi. The fixed cost reimbursements will be made based on an allocable portion of an aircraft’s annual budgeted fixed cash operating costs, based on the number of hours the aircraft will be used for business purposes. At least once a year, the Company will reconcile the budgeted fixed operating costs with the actual fixed operating costs of the aircraft, and the Company or Mr. Ganzi, as applicable, will make a payment for any difference. The Company reimbursed Mr. Ganzi $0.9 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $2.0 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Separately, prior to the sale of the Company's aircraft in January 2021, Thomas J. Barrack, Jr., the Company's former Executive Chairman, was provided use of the Company’s aircraft for personal travel. Pursuant to an agreement with a subsidiary of the Company, Mr. Barrack paid the Company for personal usage based upon the incremental cost to the Company, including direct and indirect variable costs, but in no case more than the maximum reimbursement permitted by the Federal Aviation Regulations under the agreement. Mr. Barrack reimbursed the Company $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Such reimbursements were immaterial in 2021.
Investment Venture—Pursuant to an investment agreement entered into between a subsidiary of the Company and Mr. Barrack effective April 1, 2021, the Company invested $26.0 million in Mr. Barrack's newly formed investment entity (the “Venture”), which entitles the Company to a portion of carried interest payable to Mr. Barrack from the Venture. Following recent events which significantly reduce the likelihood that fundraising by the Venture will sufficiently support its value, the Company determined that its investment would likely not be recoverable and wrote off its investment as of June 30, 2021.
19. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company may be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was not involved in any legal proceedings that are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
20. Segment Reporting
The Company currently conducts its business through four reportable segments as follows:
•Digital Investment Management ("Digital IM")—This business encompasses the investment and stewardship of third party capital in digital infrastructure and real estate. The Company's flagship opportunistic strategy is conducted through Digital Colony Partners ("DCP") and separately capitalized vehicles, while other strategies, including digital credit and public equities, are conducted through other investment vehicles. The Company earns management fees, generally based on the amount of assets or capital managed in investment vehicles, and has the potential to earn carried interest based upon the performance of such investment vehicles subject to achievement of minimum return hurdles.
•Digital Operating—This business is composed of balance sheet equity interests in digital infrastructure and real estate operating companies, which generally earn rental income from providing use of digital asset space and/or capacity through leases, services and other agreements. The Company currently owns interests in two companies: DataBank, including zColo, an edge colocation data center business; and Vantage SDC, a stabilized hyperscale data center business. Both DataBank and Vantage are also portfolio companies managed under Digital IM for the equity interests owned by third party capital.
•Digital Other—This segment is composed of equity interests in digital investment vehicles, the largest of which is the Company’s investment and commitment to the DCP flagship funds. This segment also includes the Company’s investment and commitment to the digital liquid strategies and seed investments for future digital investment vehicles.
•Other—This segment is composed of the remaining non-digital equity investments, primarily the Company's interest in BRSP, that are not substantially available for immediate sale and are expected to be monetized over an extended period beyond the near term.
Amounts not allocated to specific segments generally include corporate level cash and corresponding interest income, fixed assets for administrative use, corporate level financing and related interest expense, costs in connection with unconsummated investments, compensation expense not directly attributable to reportable segments, corporate level administrative and overhead costs as well as corporate level transaction costs. Costs which are directly attributable, or otherwise can be subjected to a reasonable and systematic allocation, have been allocated to each of the reportable segments.
Fee income is earned by the Digital Investment Management segment from third party capital in investment vehicles managed by the Company and consolidated within the Digital Operating and Digital Other segments. Prior to the second quarter of 2021, the fee income in Digital Investment Management and fee expense in Digital Operating and Digital Other were eliminated within the respective segments. Effective the second quarter of 2021, segment results are presented before elimination of intercompany fees and the elimination adjustment is included within amounts not allocated to segments. This change in presentation was made for all prior periods presented.

The following table presents results of operations of the Company's reportable segments. Refer to Note 12 for further details on discontinued operations.

Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report reflect our current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause our actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement.

•whether we will realize any of the anticipated benefits of our strategic partnership with Wafra, including whether Wafra will make additional investments in our Digital Other and Digital Operating segments;
•our ability to integrate and maintain consistent standards and controls, including our ability to manage our acquisitions in the digital industry effectively;
•the ability to realize anticipated strategic and financial benefits from terminating the management agreement with Brightspire Capital, Inc. (NYSE:BRSP; formerly, Colony Credit Real Estate, Inc. or CLNC);

•our ability to redeploy any proceeds received from the sale of our non-digital or other legacy assets within the timeframe and manner contemplated or at all;
•our business and investment strategy, including the ability of the businesses in which we have a significant investment (such as BRSP) to execute their business strategies;
•BRSP's trading price and its impact on the carrying value of the Company's investment in BRSP, including whether the Company will recognize further other-than-temporary impairment on its investment in BRSP;

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, they are not guarantees of future performance. Furthermore, we disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, of new information, data or methods, future events or other changes. Moreover, because we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, new risk factors are likely to emerge from time to time. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and urge you to carefully review the disclosures we make concerning risks in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and in Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report. Readers of this Quarterly Report should also read our other periodic filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and other publicly filed documents for further discussion regarding such factors.
