The Company recognized $99,000, $120,000 and $148,000 in expense for this vendor during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and had no accounts payable to this vendor as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Certain executive officers of RRT and/or their family members (“RG”) directly or indirectly hold small noncontrolling interests in a certain consolidated joint venture.

In September 2020, the General Partner's Board of Directors approved a discretionary reimbursement of approximately $6.1 million in fees and expenses incurred by Bow Street LLC in connection with its proxy solicitations in 2019 and 2020 that resulted in the election of Bow Street's nominees as directors of the General Partner at the 2019 and 2020 annual meetings of stockholders of the General Partner.  The Board of Directors determined that the reimbursement was appropriate in light of the benefit to the General Partner and its stockholders of the refreshment of the Board of Directors that resulted from the proxy contests. The Company intends to reimburse this amount to Bow Street in three substantially equal payments in November 2020, January 2021 and April 2021, which the Company has recorded the $6.1 million as general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2020. Bow Street is an affiliate of A. Akiva Katz, a director of the General Partner, who is a co-founder and managing partner of Bow Street. Payments of $2.1 million were made to Bow Street in November 2020 and of $2.0 million in January 2021. $2.0 million is expected to be paid to it in April 2021.
