MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS
13. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS
We are externally managed by the Manager. The Manager is paid annual fees and incentive fees in exchange for advising us on various aspects of our business, formulating our investment strategies, arranging for the acquisition and disposition of assets, arranging for financing, monitoring performance, and managing our day-to-day operations, inclusive of all costs incidental thereto. In addition, the Manager may be reimbursed for various expenses incurred by the Manager on our behalf, including the costs of legal, accounting and other administrative activities. On July 31, 2022, in connection with the spin-off, we and the Manager entered into the Management Agreement with an initial term of six years.
The Manager is entitled to a management fee, incentive fees (comprised of an Income Incentive Fee and a Capital Gains Incentive Fee described below) and reimbursement of certain expenses. The management fee is determined by taking the average value of total equity (including preferred stock and excluding non-controlling common interests) of the Company determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP at the end of the two most recently completed months multiplied by an annual rate of 1.50%, and is payable monthly in arrears in cash.
The Income Incentive Fee is calculated and distributable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-incentive fee net income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter (the “Income Incentive Fee”). For this purpose, pre-incentive fee net income means, with respect to a calendar quarter, net income attributable to common stockholders during such quarter calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP excluding our pro rata share of (1) realized or unrealized gains and losses, and (2) certain non-cash or one-time items, and (3) any other adjustments as may be approved by the independent directors. Pre-incentive allocation net income does not include any Income Incentive Fee or Capital Gains Incentive Fee (described below) paid to the Manager during the relevant quarter.
The Manager is entitled to an Income Incentive Fee with respect to its pre-incentive fee net income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no Income Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which pre-incentive fee net income, expressed as a rate of return on the average value of the Company’s net equity capital (excluding non-controlling interests) at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, does not exceed 2% for such quarter (8% annualized); (2) 100% of pre-incentive fee net income of the Company with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net income, if any, that equals or exceeds 2% but does not exceed 2.2223% for such quarter; and (3) 10% of pre-incentive fee net income of the Company, if any, that exceeds 2.2223% for portions of such quarter. These calculations will be prorated for any periods of less than three months.
The Capital Gains Incentive Fee is calculated and paid in arrears as of the end of each calendar year and is equal to 10% of our pro rata share of cumulative realized gains from the date of the spin-off through the end of the applicable calendar year, net of our pro rata share of cumulative realized or unrealized losses, the cumulative non-cash portion of equity-based compensation expenses and all realized gains upon which prior performance-based Capital Gains Incentive Fee payments were made to the Manager.
The Management fee, Income Incentive Fee, and Capital Gains Incentive Fee that are attributable to the operations of FTAI Infrastructure are recorded in the Management fees and incentive allocation to affiliate on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These amounts are allocated on the following basis:
Management fee—Management fee is allocated to FTAI Infrastructure by applying the calculation methodology described above to the equity of FTAI Infrastructure included in these consolidated financial statements.
Income Incentive Allocation and Capital Gains Incentive Allocation—The Income Incentive Fee and Capital Gains Incentive Fee are allocated to FTAI Infrastructure by applying the allocation calculation methodology described above to FTAI Infrastructure’s financial results in each respective period.
The following table summarizes the management fees, income incentive allocation and capital gains incentive allocation included in these consolidated financial statements:

We pay all of our operating expenses, except those specifically required to be borne by the Manager under the Management Agreement. The expenses required to be paid by the Company include, but are not limited to, issuance and transaction costs incident to the acquisition, disposition and financing of its assets, legal and auditing fees and expenses, the compensation and expenses of the Company’s independent directors, the costs associated with the establishment and maintenance of any credit facilities and other indebtedness (including commitment fees, legal fees, closing costs, etc.), expenses associated with other securities offerings, costs and expenses incurred in contracting with third parties (including affiliates of the Manager), the costs of printing and mailing proxies and reports to the stockholders, costs incurred by the Manager or its affiliates for travel on our behalf, costs associated with any computer software or hardware that is used by the Company, costs to obtain liability insurance to indemnify the Company’s directors and officers and the compensation and expenses of the transfer agent.
We pay or reimburse the Manager and its affiliates for performing certain legal, accounting, due diligence tasks and other services that outside professionals or outside consultants otherwise would perform, provided that such costs and reimbursements are no greater than those which would be paid to outside professionals or consultants. The Manager is responsible for all of its other costs incident to the performance of its duties under the Management Agreement, including compensation of the Manager’s employees, rent for facilities and other “overhead” expenses; we do not reimburse the Manager for these expenses.

If we terminate the Management Agreement, we will generally be required to pay the Manager a termination fee. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the termination fee is equal to the amount of the management fee during the 12 months immediately preceding such termination and an amount equal to the Income Incentive Fee and the Capital Gains Incentive Fee that would be paid to the Manager if the Company’s assets were sold for cash at their then current fair market value (as determined by an appraisal, taking into account, among other things, the expected future value of the underlying investments).
Upon the successful completion of an offering of our common stock or other equity securities (including securities issued as consideration in an acquisition), we grant the Manager options to purchase common stock in an amount equal to 10% of the number of common stock being sold in the offering (or if the issuance relates to equity securities other than our common stock, options to purchase an amount of common stock equal to 10% of the gross capital raised in the equity issuance divided by the fair market value of our common stock as of the date of issuance), with an exercise price equal to the offering price per share paid by the public or other ultimate purchaser or attributed to such securities in connection with an acquisition (or the fair market value of our common stock as of the date of the equity issuance if it relates to equity securities other than our common stock). Any ultimate purchaser of common stock for which such options are granted may be an affiliate of Fortress. In connection with the spin-off, we issued 10.9 million options to purchase common stock to the Manager, with a term of 10 years and strike price of $2.76 as compensation for services rendered in connection with the Redeemable Preferred Stock raise, as discussed in Note 15. On August 12, 2024, 8.7 million Manager options were exercised. In February 2025, we issued 2.9 million options to purchase common stock to the Manager, with a term of 10 years and a strike price of $5.61 as compensation for services rendered in connection with the offering of Series B Preferred Stock as discussed in Note 15.
