IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING SELLING YOUR SHARES OF CPA®:17 GLOBAL TO MACKENZIE REALTY CAPITAL, INC. PLEASE READ THIS POSTCARD You may have received an unsolicited mini-tender offer by affiliates of MacKenzie Capital Management, LP (MCM) to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock of Corporate Property Associates 17 Global Incorporated (CPA®:17 Global) at a price of $8.00 per share, less cash distributions paid by CPA®:17 Global after July 25, 2018. Neither CPA®:17 Global nor W. P. Carey Inc. (W. P. Carey) is associated with MCM or this unsolicited offer. We do not recommend or endorse MCMs offer. As you may be aware, on June 18, 2018, the Board of Directors of CPA®:17 Global (the Board) announced that CPA®:17 Global had entered into a definitive merger agreement with W. P. Carey under which CPA®:17 Global will merge with and into W. P. Carey (the Merger) and CPA®:17 - Global stockholders will receive 0.160 shares of W. P. Carey common stock for each share of CPA®:17 - Global owned. W. P. Carey is a publicly-traded REIT whose stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: WPC) and has been the advisor to CPA®:17 - Global since inception. CPA®:17 - Globals estimated per share Net Asset Value (NAV) as of December 31, 2017 is $10.04. Based on W. P. Careys closing price on June 15, 2018, the last trading day before the announcement of the proposed Merger, of $67.03, the Merger consideration reflects a value of $10.72 per share of CPA®:17 - Global, although the ultimate value may be higher or lower due to changes in W. P. Careys stock price. We currently expect that the proposed Merger will close during the fourth quarter of 2018; however, the proposed Merger is subject to various closing conditions, including approvals by CPA®:17 Global stockholders and W. P. Carey stockholders, and cannot be assured. The Board believes that the proposed Merger is advisable and in the best interests of CPA®:17 Global and its stockholders. For further information regarding the proposed Merger, please see the related materials available on CPA®:17 Globals website at www.cpa17global.com. While the Board has concluded that the proposed Merger is in the best interests of CPA®:17 Globals stockholders as a whole, the Board cannot be aware of personal circumstances that might cause any individual stockholder to elect to accept the offer by MCM. Therefore, the Board of Directors of CPA®:17 Global takes no position and remains neutral with respect to MCMs offer. PLEASE CONTACT THE INVESTOR RELATIONS DEPARTMENT AT 1-800-WP CAREY (800-972-2739) OR IR@WPCAREY.COM WITH ANY QUESTIONS. If you are considering selling your CPA®:17 Global shares to MCM, please remember that, once you return signed tender offer documents and they are accepted by MCM, your decision is FINAL they will NOT allow you to change your decision to sell your shares of CPA®:17 Global to MCM. Please consult your financial and tax advisors before making any decisions affecting your investment. 1-800-WP CAREY www.cpa17global.com IR@wpcarey.com
