stock's Western Haynesville area. As part of the transaction, Comstock contributed a high-pressure pipeline and a natural gas treating plant. Quantum committed to contribute up to $300 million to fund future expansion costs. Quantum is entitled to a 12% dividend on its invested capital and 80% of any distributions from Pinnacle until an investment return hurdle is met. After the return hurdle is met, Quantum's ownership reduces to 30%. Comstock operates and manages PGS pursuant to a management services agreement. The Board of PGS is comprised of five members: three selected by Comstock and two selected by Quantum. PGS is considered a variable interest entity to Comstock.Comstock has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of PGS and has the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to PGS.
