GP wants the right to admit new capital ahead of me on a capital call
Reviewing a $34M multifamily acquisition. $11.5M of LP equity, bridge debt at SOFR plus 340 with a rate cap that expires in 14 months, interest-only, two 12-month extension options that require a DSCR test. 8 percent cumulative non-compounding pref, 70/30 above that, 100 percent return of capital before the promote.
Section 4.4 is the problem. If the manager calls capital and an LP doesn't fund pro rata, the manager may admit new capital on "such terms as the manager determines in its sole discretion, including a preferred return and a return of capital senior to the existing Class A interests." No cap on the rate, no cap on the amount, no requirement that existing LPs get first refusal beyond the 15 day notice.
I'm not opposed to a capital call mechanism, deals need one. I want to know how an LP prices that specific clause, and whether the more standard version is materially better or just slower to hurt me.
