On March 31, 2014, American Realty Capital Properties, Inc.

With the assumption of the $150.0 million CapLease, Inc. secured credit facility in November 2013, the Company’s aggregate financing under its credit facilities could total $3.15 billion.

With $3.15 billion of possible financing under its credit facilities, the Company has $729.2 million of aggregate available borrowing capacity as of the date of this filing in the form of undrawn commitments, which may be used to finance acquisitions and for other general corporate purposes.

A copy of the press release relating to the foregoing, which was issued on April 2, 2014, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

American Realty Capital Properties Receives Additional Financing Commitments to Allow for Total Financing Under Credit Facilities of $3.15 Billion

New York, New York, April 2, 2014 – American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. (“ARCP”) (NASDAQ: ARCP) announced today that it has received $275.0 million of new commitments from three new lenders under its senior corporate credit facility to allow for $3.15 billion of total financing under its credit facilities. With these additional commitments to its senior facility, ARCP now has $729.2 million of aggregate available borrowing capacity in the form of undrawn commitments.

David S. Kay, President of ARCP, noted, “We are pleased to have added three new banks to our lending group under our senior corporate facility, increasing total commitments by $275.0 million, all produced by the execution of our robust capital markets team. With total financings of as much as $3.15 billion under our credit facilities, we expect to have ample flexibility to fund our portfolio’s expansion through singular and portfolio acquisitions. The increased commitments to our senior facility are a direct reflection of the credit quality of our portfolio, our lack of sensitivity to movements in interest rates, the lengthening of our debt maturities and our recent capital transactions which have increased our unencumbered assets, lowered our cost of debt and delevered our balance sheet. The greater financing availability afforded to us by these additional commitments is significant in our growth into the leading REIT.”
