W. P. Carey Announces Stockholder Approval of Merger with Corporate Property Associates 16 — Global and 2014 Guidance

NEW YORK, NY - 01/27/14 — W. P. Carey Inc. (NYSE:WPC) reported today that its proposed merger with its publicly held, non-traded REIT affiliate, Corporate Property Associates 16 — Global Incorporated (CPA®:16 — Global), was approved by its stockholders and the stockholders of CPA®:16 — Global on January 24, 2014. The merger was approved by 98% of the shares voted by W. P. Carey’s stockholders and by 96% of the eligible votes cast at CPA®:16 — Global’s special meeting of stockholders. The transaction is expected to close on January 31, 2014.

Upon completion of the transaction, W. P. Carey Inc. is expected to have an equity market capitalization of approximately $6.5 billion and a total market capitalization of approximately $10 billion.  Its global portfolio will consist of more than 85 million square feet of corporate real estate leased to over 230 companies around the world. W. P. Carey will continue to manage CPA®:17 — Global, CPA®:18 — Global and Carey Watermark Investors, its publicly held non-traded REITs. The merger is expected to improve the quality of W. P. Carey’s earnings by continuing the shift in revenue mix towards stable real estate income and increasing portfolio diversification.

The Company also announced that for the full year 2014 it expects to report Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) of between $4.40 to $4.65 per diluted share. W. P. Carey expects to update its annual AFFO guidance in connection with the release of its quarterly earnings throughout the year.

The guidance range reflects certain assumptions, including:

·closing of the merger with CPA®:16 — Global;

·approximately $1.5 billion of total acquisitions, including approximately $1.3 billion in the Managed REITs;

·anticipated asset dispositions; and

·enhanced access to capital markets and reducing secured mortgage debt.

Trevor P. Bond, President and CEO of W. P. Carey, commented, “With the addition of assets that have been managed since their acquisition by W. P. Carey’s management team, the merger with CPA®:16 — Global reinforces W. P. Carey’s status as a leading net-lease REIT of significant scale and increasingly diversified global portfolio. By enhancing our access to diverse, efficiently priced sources of capital, the merger will continue to position us to capitalize on new opportunities that support W. P. Carey’s long-standing tradition of stable dividend growth and value creation for our shareholders.”

BofA Merrill Lynch acted as financial advisor to W. P. Carey and DLA Piper LLP (US) is legal advisor to W. P. Carey. Barclays acted as financial advisor to CPA®:16 — Global and Clifford Chance US LLP is legal advisor to CPA®:16 — Global.

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure

The AFFO guidance described above is based on current plans, assumptions and estimates and is subject to the risks and uncertainties more fully described in this press release and the reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as described above.  AFFO is a supplemental non-GAAP

performance measure used by many companies in the real estate industry to measure the operating performance of real estate investment trusts.  AFFO should not be considered a substitute for net earnings computed under GAAP, as an alternative to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP, or as an indicator of our ability to fund our cash needs.  Furthermore, W. P. Carey does not calculate certain prospective financial information that would be required for a full reconciliation to GAAP net income, which information is not significant to the determination of our AFFO projections.

Disclosures Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss (as computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding: depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, impairment charges on real estate, gains or losses from sales of depreciated real estate assets and extraordinary items; however FFO related to assets held for sale, sold or otherwise transferred and included in the results of discontinued operations are included. These adjustments also incorporate the pro rata share of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO is used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers. Although NAREIT has published this definition of FFO, companies often modify this definition as they seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their distinctive operations. We modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income to adjust for certain non-cash charges such as amortization of intangibles, deferred income tax benefits and expenses, straight-line rents, stock compensation, gains or losses from extinguishment of debt and deconsolidation of subsidiaries and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses. Our assessment of our operations is focused on long-term sustainability and not on such non-cash items, which may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on cash flows. Additionally, we exclude expenses related to the CPA®:15 Merger and realized gain/losses on foreign exchange and derivatives which are not considered fundamental attributes of our business plan and do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. We refer to our modified definition of FFO as adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”). We exclude these items from GAAP net income as they are not the primary drivers in our decision making process and excluding those items provides investors a view of our portfolio performance over time and make it more comparable to other REITs which are currently not engaged in acquisitions and mergers. We use AFFO as one measure of our operating performance when we formulate corporate goals, evaluate the effectiveness of our strategies, and determine executive compensation. We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance without potentially distorting the impact of these short-term fluctuations. However, there are limits on the usefulness of AFFO to investors. For example, impairment charges and unrealized foreign currency losses that we exclude may become actual realized losses upon the ultimate disposition of the properties in the form of lower cash proceeds or other considerations. We use our FFO and AFFO measures as supplemental financial measures of operating performance. We do not use our FFO and AFFO measures as, nor should they be considered to be, alternatives to net earnings computed under GAAP, as alternatives to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs. Furthermore, we do not calculate certain prospective financial information that would be required for a full reconciliation to GAAP net income, which information is not significant to the determination of our AFFO projections Pro Rata Amounts This presentation contains certain measures prepared under the pro rata consolidation method, which is not in accordance with GAAP. We refer to these non-GAAP measures as pro rata measures. We believe that these pro rata measures, including primarily “pro rata debt”, are useful to investors as they provide supplemental information on the nature and performance of our investments that is not easily discernible in the equivalent GAAP measures. Consistent with industry practice and as a means of procuring opportunities and sharing risk, we have a number of investments, usually with our affiliates, in which our economic ownership is less than 100%. Under the full consolidation method required under GAAP, we report 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of those investments that are deemed to be under our control or for which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, even if our ownership is less than 100%. Also, under GAAP, for all other jointly-owned investments, we report our net investment and our net income or loss from that investment. Under the pro rata consolidation method, we generally present our proportionate share, based on our economic ownership of these jointly-owned investments, of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of those investments, as we use this information to evaluate our financial performance without including any ownership of the other investors. Our non-GAAP measures are not intended to be performance measures that should be regarded as alternatives to or more meaningful than, our GAAP measures.
