Core Earnings definition
Examples of Core Earnings in a sentence
The Company shall pay the Adviser a performance fee (“Performance Fee”) calculated and payable quarterly in arrears in an amount equal to 10.0% of the Company’s Core Earnings (as defined below) for the immediately preceding quarter, subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital, equal to 1.625% per quarter, or an annualized hurdle rate of 6.5%.
As a result, the Adviser does not earn a Performance Fee for any quarter until the Company’s Core Earnings for such quarter exceed the hurdle rate of 1.625%.
Thereafter, the Adviser is entitled to receive 10.0% of the Company’s Core Earnings.
Once the Company’s Core Earnings in any quarter exceed the hurdle rate, the Adviser will be entitled to a “catch-up” fee equal to the amount of Core Earnings in excess of the hurdle rate, until the Company’s Core Earnings for such quarter equal 1.806%, or 7.222% annually, of adjusted capital.
