Item 8.01. Other Events

Email Relating to Offering

On September 23, 2013, Realty Capital Securities, LLC, the exclusive dealer manager for Phillips Edison – ARC Shopping Center REIT Inc.’s (the “Company”) ongoing $1.5 billion primary offering of common stock (the “Offering”), sent an email to broker dealers and financial advisors affiliated with members of the Company’s selling group in which it notified such recipients that, through September 19, 2013, the Company had raised approximately $1.0 billion under the Offering (not including amounts available under its $285 million distribution reinvestment plan offering, or the “DRIP”).

As previously announced with respect to the Company’s filing of a follow-on offering registration statement, the Company will not raise, in the aggregate, more than the total amount of shares registered for sale in its Offering (subject to its right to reallocate shares from the DRIP to the Offering). The Company will not commence the follow-on offering if it has raised the amounts contemplated by the Offering prior to effectiveness of the follow-on offering. The Company’s dealer manager further announced that it is currently anticipated that the full amount registered in the Offering will be raised prior to the end of the fourth quarter.

The text of the email is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
