达成了6000万美元的和解协议美国证bob200体育券交易委员会（SEC）和AR Capital，房地产投资信托（REIT）经理的创始人Nicholas Schorsch和American Realty Capital Properties Inc.（ARCP）前CFO Brian Block。他们中的三个人被指控“错误地获得”了数百万美元与涉及AR资本管理和赞助的REIT的两次合并有关的数百万美元。

According to the regulator’s complaint, between the latter part of 2012 and the beginning of 2014, AR Capital took steps so that ARCP, a publicly traded REIT, would merge with American Realty Capital Trust III and American Realty Capital Trust IV, two non-traded REITS that were publicly held. Schorsch was the principal owner and CEO of all three REITs during the time of the merger, while Block was the CFO and a minority shareholder.

The Commission contends that without their board’s permission, the REIT manager, Schorsch, and Block “inflated an incentive fee” during the mergers, which made it possible for them to get another $2.92M in ARCP operating partnership units as a portion of their “incentive-based” compensation.” The SEC is also accusing the three defendants of “wrongfully obtaining” at least $7.2M in charges that were not supported from the sale and asset purchase agreements that were related to the mergers.
