Explanatory Note
American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. (the Company, its, we, our or us) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this Form 10-Q/A) to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on May 8, 2014 (the Original Filing), to restate and amend its previously-issued consolidated financial statements and related financial information for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2014.
Concurrently with the filing of this Form 10-Q/A, the Company is filing (i) an amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 to restate and amend its previously-issued audited consolidated financial statements and related financial information for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and (ii) an amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2014 to restate and amend its previously-issued unaudited consolidated financial statements and related financial information for this period and the comparable fiscal period of 2013 (collectively, with this Form 10-Q/A, the Amended Filings). The Company is also filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2014, which is also being concurrently filed, and includes restated and amended unaudited consolidated financial statements and related financial information for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2013.
The following sections of this Form 10-Q/A contain information that has been amended where necessary to reflect the restatement and certain other events that have occurred subsequent to May 8, 2014, the date of the original filing with the SEC:
| Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements |
| Part I, Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
| Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures |
| Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors |
Except as described in this Explanatory Note, the information contained in the Original Filing has not been updated to reflect any subsequent events.
Background
On October 29, 2014, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the October 29 8-K) reporting that the Audit Committee of the Companys Board of Directors (the Audit Committee) had concluded that the previously-issued audited consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the previously issued unaudited financial statements and other financial information contained in the Companys Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal periods ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, and the Companys earnings releases and other financial communications for these periods should no longer be relied upon.
The Audit Committee based its conclusion on the preliminary findings of its investigation into concerns regarding accounting practices and other matters that had first been reported to it on September 7, 2014. Promptly after learning of these concerns, the Audit Committee initiated an investigation, which was conducted with the assistance of independent counsel and forensic accountants. The investigation continued after the filing of the October 29 8-K and expanded in scope beyond the concerns initially brought to the Audit Committees attention. Certain key findings of the investigation are presented below.
The investigation found that Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO), a non-GAAP measure presented in the Companys SEC filings and other financial communications, was overstated for fiscal year 2011, fiscal year 2012, fiscal year 2013 (including each fiscal quarter of 2013) and, as previously disclosed in the October 29 8-K, the first two fiscal quarters of 2014. Senior management considered AFFO to be an important metric used by analysts and investors in evaluating the Companys performance and, for the first two quarters of 2014, sought to maintain reported AFFO within the 2014 guidance range of $1.13 to $1.19 per share announced at the end of 2013. The overstatements of AFFO were due in part to errors in reflecting amounts attributable to the limited partnership interests in the Companys operating partnership, ARC Properties Operating Partnership, L.P., held by holders other than the Company (known as non-controlling interests or NCI). Prior to the
filing of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2014, some members of senior management were aware of NCI errors but allowed the report to be filed without completing an analysis of the errors. In the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2014, as previously reported, the NCI errors were intentionally not corrected, and other AFFO and financial statement errors were intentionally made, resulting in an overstatement of AFFO and an understatement of the Companys net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Sources of Funds Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations (As Restated) in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q/A.
The investigation identified certain payments made by the Company to ARC Properties Advisors, LLC (the Former Manager) and certain affiliates of the Former Manager that were not sufficiently documented or otherwise warrant scrutiny. The Company has recovered consideration valued at approximately $8.5 million in respect of certain such payments. The Company is considering whether it has a right to seek recovery for any other such payments and, if so, its alternatives for seeking recovery. No asset has been recognized in the financial statements related to any potential recovery. See Note 20-Related Party Transactions and Arrangements (As Restated) to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q/A.
The investigation found that the agreements relating to equity awards made to Nicholas S. Schorsch and Brian S. Block in connection with the transition from external to internal management of the Company contained provisions that, as drafted, were more favorable to them than the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Directors (the Compensation Committee) had authorized. At the time the awards took effect, Mr. Schorsch was the Companys Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Block was the Companys Chief Financial Officer. Immediately prior to his resignation from the Company, Mr. Schorsch and the Company agreed that the terms of his equity awards should have been consistent with the Compensation Committees authorization. In connection with their resignations from the Company, Mr. Block relinquished all of his equity awards and Mr. Schorsch relinquished all of his equity awards other than 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock, the vesting of which was accelerated. These shares are subject to clawback by the Company if, in any proceeding, after all appeals, Mr. Schorsch is found to have breached his fiduciary duty of loyalty or is found to have committed or admits to fraud or misconduct in connection with his responsibilities as a director or officer of the Company. See Management Changes below.
The investigation also found material weaknesses in the Companys internal control over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures. See Internal Control Considerations below.
The Audit Committee believes that the scope and process of its investigation were sufficient to identify matters that could materially affect the Companys consolidated financial statements and the calculation of AFFO.
Effects of the Restatements and Other Corrections
The restatements contained in this Form 10-Q/A and the other Amended Filings correct errors in the consolidated financial statements contained in the original filings that were identified as a result of the Audit Committee investigation as well as additional errors identified as a result of a review performed by the Companys new management. The restatements also reflect certain adjustments that the Company determined to be immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, when the consolidated financial statements contained in the original filings were issued. In connection with the restatements, the Company has determined that it would be appropriate to reflect such adjustments. See Note 2 Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q/A.
The Amended Filings also correct errors in the calculation of AFFO contained in the original filings that were identified as a result of the Audit Committees investigation or that otherwise reflect restatement adjustments. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Sources of Funds Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations (As Restated) in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q/A.
The following tables summarize the effect of the restatements on certain key items of the Companys previously issued consolidated financial statements and on its previously-issued calculations of AFFO and AFFO per share for the year ended December 31, 2013, the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 (amounts in thousands, except for per share data).

Internal Control Considerations
In light of the findings of the Audit Committees investigation and a review by the Company in connection with the preparation of the restatements, the Companys new management re-evaluated the Companys internal control over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures at December 31, 2013 and concluded that they were not effective. These material weaknesses had not been remediated, and additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting existed, at March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014. In addition, at those dates, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The material weaknesses at March 30, 2014 and the Companys plans for remediation are described in Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures in this Form 10-Q/A. The Company is committed to remediating its material weaknesses as promptly as possible. Implementation of the Companys remediation plans has commenced and is being overseen by the Audit Committee.
Management Changes
During the fourth quarter of 2014, the following executive officers resigned from all positions with the Company and its subsidiaries: Mr. Schorsch, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors; Mr. Block, Chief Financial Officer; David S. Kay,
Chief Executive Officer and a director; Lisa E. Beeson, President and Chief Operating Officer; and Lisa P. McAlister, Chief Accounting Officer. In connection with their resignations, these individuals relinquished an aggregate of approximately 2.7 million shares of stock as well as all outstanding interests in the Companys 2014 Outperformance Plan.
Following the resignations of Mr. Block and Ms. McAlister, the Companys Board of Directors appointed Michael Sodo as Chief Financial Officer and Gavin B. Brandon as Chief Accounting Officer. Following the resignations of Messrs. Schorsch and Kay and Ms. Beeson, the Board of Directors appointed William G. Stanley, who had been serving as Lead Independent Director, as Interim Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee has commenced a search, with the assistance of an independent search firm, for a new independent Chairman of the Board and a new Chief Executive Officer.
Regulatory Investigations and Litigation Related to this Matter
Prior to the filing of the October 29 8-K, the Audit Committee previewed for the SEC the information contained in that filing. Subsequent to the filing, the SEC provided notice that it had commenced a formal investigation and issued subpoenas calling for the production of documents. In addition, the United States Attorneys Office for the Southern District of New York contacted counsel for the Audit Committee and counsel for the Company with respect to this matter, and the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts issued a subpoena calling for the production of various documents. The Audit Committee and the Company are cooperating with these regulators in their investigations.
The Company and certain of its current and former directors and officers have been named as defendants in a number of lawsuits filed in response to the October 29 8-K, including class actions, derivative actions and individual actions under the federal securities laws and state common and corporate laws in both federal and state courts in New York and Maryland. For information concerning these lawsuits, see Risk Factors New Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q/A and Note 25 Subsequent Events (As Restated) to the consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q/A.

AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2014
(Unaudited)
Note 1 Organization
American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. (the Company or ARCP) is a self-managed Maryland corporation incorporated on December 2, 2010 that qualified as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning in the taxable year ended December 31, 2011. On September 6, 2011, the Company completed its initial public offering (the IPO). The Companys common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (NASDAQ) under the symbol ARCP.
The Company operates through two business segments, Real Estate Investment (REI) and its private capital management business, Cole Capital (Cole Capital), as further discussed in Note 6 Segment Reporting (As Restated). Substantially all of the Companys REI segment is conducted through ARC Properties Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the OP). The Company is the sole general partner and holder of 96.9% of the equity interests in the OP as of March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, certain affiliates of the Company and certain unaffiliated investors are limited partners and owners of 2.5% and 0.6%, respectively, of the equity interests in the OP. Under the LPA, after holding units of limited partner interests in the OP (OP Units) for a period of one year, unless otherwise consented to by the Company, holders of OP Units have the right to redeem the OP Units for the cash value of a corresponding number of shares of the Companys common stock or, at the option of the OP, a corresponding number of shares of the Companys common stock. The remaining rights of the holders of OP Units are limited, however, and do not include the ability to replace the general partner or to approve the sale, purchase or refinancing of the OPs assets. Substantially all of the Cole Capital segment is conducted through Cole Capital Advisors, Inc. (CCA), an Arizona corporation. CCA is treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS) under Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Internal Revenue Code).
Prior to January 8, 2014, ARC Properties Advisors, LLC (the Companys Former Manager), a wholly owned subsidiary of AR Capital, LLC (ARC), managed the Companys affairs on a day-to-day basis, with the exception of certain acquisition, accounting and portfolio management services performed by employees of the Company. In August 2013, the Companys board of directors determined that it was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to become self-managed, and the Company completed its transition to self-management on January 8, 2014. In connection with becoming self-managed, the Company terminated the management agreement with its Former Manager. See Note 20 Related Party Transactions and Arrangements (As Restated) for further discussion.
The Company has advanced its investment objectives by not only growing its net lease portfolio through organic acquisitions but also through strategic mergers and acquisitions. See Note 3 Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated) for further discussion.
Note 2 Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
The Company has restated its consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and its consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, along with certain related notes to such restated consolidated financial statements. In addition, the December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013 balance sheets, as disclosed in Note 3 Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated), have been recast in applying the carryover basis of accounting to include the effects of the merger with American Realty Capital Trust IV, Inc. (ARCT IV).
The Company determined that the restatement was necessary after an investigation was conducted by the Audit Committee of the Companys Board of Directors (the Audit Committee) with the assistance of independent counsel and forensic accountants. The Audit Committee initiated the investigation in response to concerns regarding accounting practices and other matters that were first reported to it on September 7, 2014. The restatement corrects errors that were identified as a result of the investigation, as well as certain other errors that were identified by the Company. In addition, the restatement reflects corrections of certain immaterial errors and certain previously identified errors that were identified by the Company in the normal course of business and were determined to be immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, when the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were originally issued. In connection with the restatement, the Company has determined that it would be appropriate to correct such errors.

Merger and Other Non-routine Transaction Related
In light of the findings of the investigation conducted by the Audit Committee, the Company performed an internal review of all acquisition, merger and other non-routine transaction-related expenses. The work resulted in the identification of the following errors:
| The Company improperly classified $5.4 million of expenses as merger-related for the three months ended March 31, 2013. As restated, the amount has been reclassified from merger and other non-routine transaction-related expenses to general and administrative expenses. |
| Upon consummation of the ARCT III Merger, the OP entered into an agreement with an affiliate to acquire certain furniture, fixtures, equipment (FF&E) and other assets. The Company originally capitalized $4.1 million of FF&E costs and expensed $1.7 million of costs. The Company has concluded that there was no evidence of the receipt and it could not support the value of the FF&E. As such, the Company has expensed the amount originally capitalized and recognized the expense in merger and other non-routine transaction-related expense for the period ended March 31, 2013. See Note 20 Related Party Transactions and Arrangements (As Restated) for further discussion. |
| The Company identified $1.0 million of expenses that were improperly classified as merger and other non-routine transaction-related expenses that should have been capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized accordingly. As such, an adjustment to properly record the deferred financing costs has been made for the period ended March 31, 2013. As a result of capitalizing these deferred financing costs, additional interest expense of $0.6 million was recorded for the period ended March 31, 2013. |
| The Company identified $13.0 million of management fees that were improperly classified as merger and other non-routine transaction-related expenses. Such amount has been properly classified as management fees to affiliates for the period ended March 31, 2013. |
| The Company has determined that it should have recorded a controlling interest transfer tax liability totaling $1.1 million upon consummation of the ARCT III Merger. The accrual and corresponding merger and other non-routine transaction related expense are recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2013. |
The Company has updated the caption to merger and other non-routine transactions to appropriately include non-recurring costs that may not have been incurred solely for a merger transaction. See Note 4 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (As Restated) for a further breakout of the merger and other non-routine transactions.
In addition, the Company has concluded that $881,000 in equity-based compensation previously reported on a separate line item should instead be reported within general and administrative expenses.
Operating Fees to Affiliate
The Company identified $0.5 million of expense that was incorrectly recorded as operating fees to affiliate. As a result, the Company decreased operating fees to affiliate by this amount for the period ended March 31, 2013 and recorded the amount to the proper balance sheet account.
This line item caption has been updated to management fees to affiliates in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Net Loss Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests
The original calculation of the net loss attributable to non-controlling interest holders for the three months ended March 31, 2013 excluded expenses that were improperly recorded at the Companys level. These expenses were incurred by the OP, and therefore should have been included in the Companys determination of the net loss attributable to its non-controlling interest holders. In addition, the net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest holders has been adjusted to reflect the impact of the cumulative restatement adjustments discussed and presented herein. As a result, the Company recorded an adjustment of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 for net loss attributable to non-controlling interest holders and a corresponding change in net loss attributable to stockholders.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Error Corrections
Merger and Other Non-routine Transaction Related
In light of the findings of the investigation conducted by the Audit Committee, the Company performed an internal review of all acquisition, merger and other non-routine transaction-related expenses. The work resulted in the identification of the following errors:
| The Company identified a net amount of $16.1 million of merger and other non-routine transaction-related expenses that were improperly recorded in the period ended March 31, 2014. Of this amount, a net amount of $14.5 million has been properly recorded for the year ended December 31, 2013 and a net amount of $1.6 million has been properly recorded in the period ended June 30, 2014. |
| Upon consummation of the ARCT IV Merger (as defined in Note 3 Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated)), the OP entered into an agreement with an affiliate to acquire certain furniture, fixtures, equipment (FF&E) and other assets. The Company originally capitalized $2.1 million of FF&E costs. The Company has concluded that there was no evidence of the receipt and it could not support the value of the FF&E. As such, the Company has expensed the amount originally capitalized and recognized the expense in merger and other non-routine transaction-related expense. See Note 20 Related Party Transactions and Arrangements (As Restated) for further discussion. |
| The Company identified $20.6 million of expenses that were improperly recorded as merger and other non-routine transaction-related expenses that should have been capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized accordingly. As such, an adjustment to capitalize and amortize the deferred financing costs has been properly recorded. As a result of deferred financing costs being capitalized, additional interest expense of $8.7 million and extinguishment of debt expense of $2.3 million was recorded. |
| The Company originally improperly classified $9.4 million of expenses as merger related. However the Company has determined that such amounts should have been accounted for as general and administrative expenses. As such, the Company properly recorded such amount as general and administrative expense. |
| Upon consummation of the ARCT III Merger and CapLease Merger (each, as defined in Note 3 Merger and Acquisitions (As Restated)) in 2013, the Company did not properly accrue a controlling interest transfer tax liability for each respective merger. As such, the Company properly recorded an estimated $8.9 million as of December 31, 2013. The Company considered its existing accrual amount for such liabilities, in determining the liability amounts for the ARCT IV and Cole mergers that were consummated, noting that it had over accrued for such liabilities, and as a result recorded too much expense. Therefore, the Company properly reduced the expense recorded in the period by $4.0 million. |
| The Company identified $13.9 million of management fee expenses that were improperly classified as merger and other non-routine transaction related expenses. Such amounts have been properly recorded as management fees to affiliates. |
The Company also updated the caption from merger and other transaction related to merger and other non-routine transactions to appropriately include non-recurring costs that may not have been incurred solely for a merger transaction. See Note 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (As Restated) for a further breakout of the merger costs and other non-routine transactions.

Acquisition-Related
The Company identified a net amount of $0.9 million of acquisition-related salary expense had been improperly recorded as general and administrative expense. As such, the Company properly recorded the amount as acquisition-related for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
General and Administrative
The Company identified a net amount of $1.7 million of general and administrative expenses that were recorded in the incorrect period. As such, the Company recorded this amount as additional expense in the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Equity-Based Compensation
The investigation found that equity awards made to Nicholas S. Schorsch and Brian S. Block in connection with the Companys transition from external to internal management contained vesting provisions that, as drafted, were more favorable to them than the Compensation Committee had authorized. In addition, the investigation found that the Compensation Committees intention in respect of the OPP was that the maximum award pool opportunity should have been based upon the Companys equity market capitalization as of the date of the approval of the OPP in October 2013, equaling approximately $120.0 million, rather than the $218.1 million which was derived from a pro forma equity market capitalization giving effect to the closing of various transactions as of the Companys transition to self-management. These items resulted in a decrease of $6.3 million to stock-based compensation reported in general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
In addition, the Company assessed its accrual for distributions recorded on LTIP units, noting distributions had not been properly recorded. As a result, the Company increased the distributions recorded in equity and the distributions payable on LTIP awards by $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
The Company also determined that the documentation of awards granted to its directors provided for accelerated vesting of shares upon voluntary resignation of the directors. As a result, the Company determined there was no required service period for the vesting of such awards and $3.3 million has been recorded as a general and administrative expense during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Based upon the findings of the Audit Committee and the Company in connection with the recent review of the Companys previously issued financial statements, the Company has subsequently modified such awards to provide that voluntary resignation would not accelerate the vesting of such awards.
The Company originally reported $22.5 million in equity-based compensation its own line item, however it now reports such compensation as general and administrative expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization
The Company identified that its depreciation expense and acquisition related expenses were under expensed by $2.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, based on its accounting for certain properties acquired in 2013. As such, the Company properly recorded additional depreciation expense and acquisition related expense by the respective amounts.
In addition, the Company identified that it did not properly record $6.0 million of depreciation expense for real estate properties acquired during the period. Therefore, the Company properly recorded the expense.
Gain (Loss) on Disposition of Properties and Held for Sale Assets
Subsequent to the CapLease and Cole Mergers (as defined in Note 3 - Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated)), the Company disposed of certain properties acquired in those mergers. The disposition of such properties resulted in a net loss on disposition; however, the Company incorrectly adjusted its purchase price allocation by increasing its goodwill recorded in connection with the mergers by $13.6 million. The Company has determined that there was not sufficient evidence to support adjusting its goodwill as a measurement period adjustment. As a result, the Company reversed the measurement period adjustments that were made to goodwill and recognized a net loss on dispositions for the period ended March 31, 2014.
In addition, the Company assigned goodwill associated with the certain mergers to the Companys REI segment. However, the Company determined that it did not properly account for disposals of real estate because a portion of goodwill was not included in the carrying amount of the associated real estate in its determination of the gain or loss on disposition. To correct the accounting, the Company allocated $7.0 million of goodwill to real estate dispositions in the three months ended March 31, 2014, which increased the loss on disposition of properties recognized.

Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments
The Company determined that a portion of one of its interest rate swaps was incorrectly designated as effective, rather than ineffective for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Therefore, the Company incorrectly recorded the ineffective portion of the hedge through other comprehensive income (OCI), rather than earnings. As such, the Company recorded a gain on derivative instruments of $1.0 million and reversed the same amount from OCI.
As part of the Cole Merger, the Company acquired a derivative liability in the amount of $10.0 million for interest rate swaps. The swaps were subsequently settled in connection with the extinguishment of the related debt. This settlement should have been recorded as a reduction of the derivative liability acquired, however it was improperly recorded as a loss on derivative instruments. As such, the Company reversed the amount recorded as a loss on derivative instruments and adjusted goodwill to be properly recorded for the period.
In addition, The Company identified $2.1 million of expenses which were originally improperly reported as loss on derivative instruments, rather than interest expense. As such, the Company reported the respective amount as interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Interest Expense
The Company determined that breakage costs incurred on an interest rate lock were improperly recorded as interest expense rather than OCI. As such, the Company properly recorded $3.9 million of breakage costs as OCI for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
The Company concluded that the interest expense related to a swap was underestimated by $1.4 million. As such, the Company recorded additional interest expense for the respective amount for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
In addition, the Company concluded that $7.8 million of debt extinguishment costs, which were originally reported as interest expense, should be reported as its own line item caption within the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Net Loss Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests
The original calculation of the net loss attributable to non-controlling interest holders for the three months ended March 31, 2014 excluded substantial expenses that were improperly recorded at the Companys level, but were, in fact, incurred by the OP, and therefore should have been included in the Companys determination of the net loss attributable to its non-controlling interest holders. The 2014 restated consolidated financial statements reflect an adjustment of $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 for net loss attributable to non-controlling interest holders.
Other Expense
As a result of the restatement corrections, the Company updated its tax provision calculation which resulted in an additional tax benefit of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Other Changes
Along with restating the consolidated financial statements to correct the errors discussed above, the Company recorded adjustments for certain previously identified immaterial accounting errors related to the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. When these consolidated financial statements were originally issued, the Company assessed the impact of these errors and concluded that they were not material to the consolidated financial statements. However, in conjunction with the need to restate the consolidated financial statements as a result of the errors noted above, the Company determined that it would be appropriate to make adjustments for all such previously unrecorded adjustments.
The original calculation of net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was based on an incorrect weighted average share count. The original weighted average share count treated a portion of certain restricted share awards as outstanding common stock prior to the actual vesting date of such awards, and as a result, the weighted average share count was overstated. Therefore, the 2014 restated consolidated financial statements reflect a decrease of 311,475 shares to the weighted average share count used in the net loss per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
The Company also recorded certain reclassifications to update the presentation of its consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Note 3 Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated)
American Realty Capital Trust III, Inc. Merger
On December 14, 2012, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the ARCT III Merger Agreement) with American Realty Capital Trust III, Inc. (ARCT III) and certain subsidiaries of each company. The ARCT III Merger Agreement provided for the merger of ARCT III with and into a subsidiary of the Company (the ARCT III Merger). The ARCT III Merger was consummated on February 28, 2013.
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the ARCT III Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of ARCT III, including restricted shares which became vested, was converted into the right to receive (i) 0.95 of a share of the Companys common stock (the ARCT III Exchange Ratio) or (ii) $12.00 in cash. In addition, each outstanding unit of equity ownership of ARCT IIIs operating partnership (the ARCT III OP) was converted into the right to receive 0.95 of the same class of unit of equity ownership in the OP.
Upon the closing of the ARCT III Merger on February 28, 2013, the Company paid an aggregate of $350 million in cash for 29.2 million shares that elected cash consideration, or 16.5% of the then outstanding shares of ARCT IIIs common stock (which is equivalent to 27.7 million shares of the Companys common stock based on the ARCT III Exchange Ratio). In addition, 140.7 million shares of the Companys common stock were issued in exchange for 148.1 million shares of ARCT IIIs common stock adjusted for the ARCT III Exchange Ratio.
Upon the consummation of the ARCT III Merger, American Realty Capital Trust III Special Limited Partner, LLC (the ARCT III Special Limited Partner), the holder of the special limited partner interest in the ARCT III OP, was entitled to subordinated distributions of net sales proceeds from the ARCT III OP which resulted in the issuance of units of limited partner interests in the ARCT III OP, when after applying the ARCT III Exchange Ratio, resulting in the issuance of an additional 7.3 million OP Units to affiliates of the Former Manager. The parties had agreed that such OP Units would be subject to a minimum one-year holding period from the date of issuance before being exchangeable into the Companys common stock.
Also in connection with the ARCT III Merger, the Company entered into an agreement with ARC and its affiliates to internalize certain functions performed by them prior to the ARCT III Merger, reduce certain fees paid to affiliates and pay certain merger related fees. See Note 20 Related Party Transactions and Arrangements (As Restated).
Accounting Treatment for the ARCT III Merger
The Company and ARCT III, from inception to the ARCT III Merger date, were considered to be entities under common control. Both entities advisors were wholly owned subsidiaries of ARC. ARC and its related parties had significant ownership interests in the Company and ARCT III through the ownership of shares of common stock and other equity interests. In addition, the advisors of both entities were contractually eligible to receive potential fees for their services to both of the companies including asset management fees, incentive fees and other fees and continued to receive fees from the Company prior to the Companys transition to self-management. Due to the significance of these fees, the advisors and ultimately ARC were determined to have a significant economic interest in both companies in addition to having the power to direct the significant activities of the companies through advisory/management agreements, which qualified them as affiliated companies under common control in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The acquisition of an entity under common control is accounted for on the carryover basis of accounting, whereby the assets and liabilities of the companies are recorded upon the merger on the same basis as they were carried by the companies on the ARCT III Merger date. In addition, U.S. GAAP requires the Company to present historical financial information for all periods that entities were under common control. Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements including the notes thereto are presented as if the ARCT III Merger had occurred at inception.
CapLease, Inc. Merger
On May 28, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the CapLease Merger Agreement) with CapLease, Inc., a Maryland corporation (CapLease), and certain subsidiaries of each company. The CapLease Merger Agreement provided for the merger of CapLease with and into a subsidiary of the Company (the CapLease Merger).

AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2014 (Unaudited) (Continued)
On November 5, 2013, the Company completed the CapLease Merger. Pursuant to the terms of the CapLease Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of CapLease, other than shares owned by the Company, CapLease or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, was converted into the right to receive $8.50. Each outstanding share of preferred stock of CapLease, other than shares owned by the Company, CapLease or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the sum of $25.00 plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on such shares of preferred stock. In addition, in connection with the merger of CapLease, LP with and into the OP, each outstanding unit of equity ownership of CapLeases operating partnership, other than units owned by CapLease or any wholly owned subsidiary of CapLease, was converted into the right to receive $8.50. Vesting of CapLeases outstanding restricted stock was accelerated and restricted stock and any outstanding performance shares were fully earned and received $8.50 per share. In total, cash consideration of $920.7 million was paid to CapLeases common and preferred shareholders.
Accounting Treatment for the CapLease Merger
The CapLease Merger has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from CapLease have been recorded as of the acquisition date at their respective fair values. Any excess of purchase price over the fair values is recorded as goodwill. Results of operations for CapLease are included in the Companys consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
American Realty Capital Trust IV, Inc. Merger
On July 1, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended on October 6, 2013 and October 11, 2013 (the ARCT IV Merger Agreement), with ARCT IV, and certain subsidiaries of each company. The ARCT IV Merger Agreement provided for the merger of ARCT IV with and into a subsidiary of the OP (the ARCT IV Merger). The Company consummated the ARCT IV Merger on January 3, 2014.
Pursuant to the terms of the ARCT IV Merger Agreement, as amended, each outstanding share of common stock of ARCT IV, including unvested restricted shares that vested in conjunction with the ARCT IV Merger, was exchanged for (i) $9.00 in cash, (ii) 0.5190 of a share of the Companys common stock (the ARCT IV Exchange Ratio) and (iii) 0.5937 of a share of a new series of preferred stock of the Company designated as the 6.70% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (Series F Preferred Stock) and each outstanding unit of ARCT IVs operating partnership (each, an ARCT IV OP Unit), other than ARCT IV OP Units held by American Realty Capital Trust IV Special Limited Partner, LLC (the ARCT IV Special Limited Partner) and American Realty Capital Advisors IV, LLC (the ARCT IV Advisor) was exchanged for (i) $9.00 in cash, (ii) 0.5190 of an OP Unit and (iii) 0.5937 of an OP Unit designated as Series F Preferred Units (Series F OP Units). In total, the Company paid $651.4 million in cash, issued 36.9 million shares of common stock and 42.2 million shares of Series F Preferred Stock, and issued 0.7 million Series F OP units and 0.6 million OP Units to the former ARCT IV shareholders and ARCT IV OP Unit holders in connection with the consummation of the ARCT IV Merger. In addition, each outstanding ARCT IV Class B Unit (as defined below) and each outstanding ARCT IV OP Unit held by the ARCT IV Special Limited Partner and the ARCT IV Advisor was converted into 2.3961 OP Units, resulting in the Company issuing 1.2 million OP Units.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2014 (Unaudited) (Continued)
On January 3, 2014, the OP entered into a Contribution and Exchange Agreement (the ARCT IV Contribution and Exchange Agreement) with the ARCT IV OP, ARCT IV Special Limited Partner and ARC Real Estate Partners, LLC (ARC Real Estate), an entity affiliated with the Former Manager. The ARCT IV Special Limited Partner was entitled to receive certain distributions from the ARCT IV OP, including the subordinated distribution of net sales proceeds resulting from an investment liquidity event (as defined in the agreement of limited partnership of the ARCT IV OP). The ARCT IV Merger constituted an investment liquidity event, as a result of which the ARCT IV Special Limited Partner, in connection with managements successful attainment of the 6.0% performance hurdle and the return to ARCT IVs stockholders of approximately $358.3 million in addition to their initial investment, was entitled to receive a subordinated distribution of net sales proceeds from the ARCT IV OP equal to approximately $63.2 million. Pursuant to the ARCT IV Contribution and Exchange Agreement, the ARCT IV Special Limited Partner contributed its interest in the ARCT IV OP, inclusive of the subordinated distribution proceeds received, to the ARCT IV OP in exchange for 2.8 million equity units of the ARCT IV OP, based on a price per share of $22.50. The fair value of these units at date of issuance was $78.2 million and has been included in merger and other non-routine transaction costs in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Upon consummation of the ARCT IV Merger, these equity units were immediately converted to 6.7 million OP Units after application of the exchange ratio of 2.3961 per share. In conjunction with the ARCT IV Merger Agreement, the ARCT IV Special Limited Partner agreed to a minimum two-year holding period for these OP units before converting them to shares of Company common stock.
In addition, as part of the ARCT IV Contribution and Exchange Agreement, ARC Real Estate Partners, LLC, contributed $750,000 in cash to the ARCT IV OP, effective prior to the consummation of the ARCT IV Merger, in exchange for ARCT IV OP Units. Upon the consummation of the ARCT IV Merger, these equity units converted at an exchange ratio of 2.3961 OP Units per ARCT IV OP Unit, resulting in the Company issuing 0.1 million OP Units.
Accounting Treatment for the ARCT IV Merger
The Company and ARCT IV, from inception to the ARCT IV Merger date, were considered to be entities under common control. Both entities advisors were wholly owned subsidiaries of ARC. ARC and its related parties had ownership interests in the Company and ARCT IV through the ownership of shares of common stock, OP Units and other equity interests. In addition, the advisors of both entities were contractually eligible to receive potential fees for their services to both of the companies including asset management fees, incentive fees and other fees and had continued to receive fees from the Company prior to the Companys transition to self-management. Due to the significance of these fees, the advisors and ultimately ARC were determined to have a significant economic interest in both companies in addition to having the power to direct the activities of the companies through advisory/management agreements, which qualified them as affiliated companies under common control in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The acquisition of an entity under common control is accounted for on the carryover basis of accounting, whereby the assets and liabilities of the companies are recorded upon the merger on the same basis as they were carried by the companies on the ARCT IV Merger date. In addition, U.S. GAAP requires the Company to present historical financial information for all periods that entities were under common control. Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements including the notes thereto are presented as if the ARCT IV Merger, including the impact of the equity transactions entered to consummate the merger, had occurred at inception.

On October 1, 2013, the Company closed on 41 of the 120 properties with a total purchase price of $200.3 million, exclusive of closing costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company closed the acquisition of the remaining 79 properties in the Fortress Portfolio for an aggregate contract purchase price of $400.9 million, exclusive of closing costs. The total purchase price of the Fortress Portfolio was $601.2 million, exclusive of closing costs.
Cole Real Estate Investments, Inc. Merger
On October 22, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the Cole Merger Agreement) with Cole Real Estate Investments, Inc. (Cole), a Maryland corporation, and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Cole Merger Agreement provided for the merger of Cole with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the Cole Merger). The Company consummated the Cole Merger on February 7, 2014 (the Cole Acquisition Date).
Pursuant to the terms of the Cole Merger Agreement, each share of common stock of Cole issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Cole Merger, including unvested restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance stock units that vested in conjunction with the Cole Merger, other than shares owned by the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any wholly owned subsidiary of Cole, was converted into the right to receive either (i) 1.0929 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the Stock Consideration) or (ii) $13.82 in cash (the Cash Consideration, and together with the Stock Consideration, the Merger Consideration). Approximately 98% of all outstanding Cole holders received Stock Consideration and approximately 2% of outstanding Cole shares elected to receive Cash Consideration, pursuant to the terms of the Cole Merger Agreement, resulting in the Company issuing approximately 520.8 million shares of Company common stock and paying $181.8 million to holders of Cole shares based on their elections.
In addition, the Company issued approximately 2.8 million shares of Company common stock, in the aggregate, to certain executives of Cole pursuant to letter agreements entered into between the Company and such individuals concurrently with the execution of the Cole Merger Agreement, as previously disclosed by the Company. Additionally, effective as of the Cole Acquisition Date, the Company issued, but has not yet allocated, 0.4 million shares with dividend equivalent rights commensurate with the Companys common stock.
Accounting Treatment for the Cole Merger
The Cole Merger has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Cole have been recorded as of the acquisition date at their respective fair values. Any excess of purchase price over the fair values is recorded as goodwill. Results of operations for Cole are included in the Companys consolidated financial statements subsequent to the Cole Acquisition Date.

On August 8, 2013, ARC and another related entity, on behalf of the Company and certain other entities sponsored directly or indirectly by ARC, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. (Inland) for the purchase of the equity interests of 67 companies owned by Inland for an aggregate contract purchase price of approximately $2.3 billion, subject to adjustments set forth in the purchase and sale agreement and exclusive of closing costs. Of the 67 companies, the equity interests of 10 companies (the Inland Portfolio) were allocated to the Company for a purchase price of approximately $501.0 million, subject to adjustments set forth in the purchase and sale agreement and exclusive of closing costs, which was allocated to the Company based on the pro rata fair value of the Inland Portfolio relative to the fair value of all

67 companies to be acquired from Inland by the Company and the other entities sponsored directly or indirectly by ARC. The Inland Portfolio is comprised of 33 properties. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had closed on 32 of the 33 properties for a total purchase price of $288.2 million, exclusive of closing costs. The Company does not consider it probable to close on the remaining one property.
Abandoned Spin-off of Multi-Tenant Shopping Center Portfolio
On March 13, 2014, the Company announced its intention to spin off its multi-tenant shopping center business (MT Spin-off) into a publicly traded REIT, American Realty Capital Centers, Inc., which was expected to operate under the name ARCenters and to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol ARCM. The OP was expected to retain 25% ownership of ARCM. The spin-off was expected to be effectuated through a pro rata taxable special distribution of one share of ARCM common stock for every 10 shares of the Companys common stock and every 10 OP Units held by third parties in the OP. On April 4, 2014, ARCM filed a Registration Statement on Form 10 to register ARCMs common stock, par value $0.01 per share, pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act so that, upon consummation of the spin-off, shares of ARCM received by holders of the Companys common stock, or OP Units, as applicable, could freely trade their newly received ARCM common stock. ARCM was expected to be externally managed by the Company. On May 21, 2014, the Company announced that it had reassessed its plans for the multi-tenant shopping center portfolio and entered into a letter of intent to sell such portfolio to Blackstone, expecting to finalize pertinent documentation related thereto within 30 days of such date. The properties included in such sale were the same properties that would have been spun off into ARCM and, consequently, the Company abandoned its proposed spin-off at such time. On June 11, 2014, indirect subsidiaries of the Company entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale with BRE DDR Retail Holdings III LLC, an entity indirectly jointly owned by affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII L.P. and DDR Corp., pursuant to which the parties definitively documented the sale of the Companys multi-tenant shopping center portfolio. The properties to be sold pursuant to such agreement were the same properties that the Company had previously intended to spin off into an externally managed, NASDAQ traded REIT, American Realty Capital Centers, Inc. In light of the Companys entry into such agreement, it abandoned its previously contemplated spin-off.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, consolidated joint venture arrangements and its subsidiaries. The portions of the consolidated joint venture arrangements not owned by the Company are presented as non-controlling interests. In addition, as described in Note 1 Organization, certain affiliates and non-affiliated third parties have been issued OP Units. Holders of OP Units are considered to be non-controlling interest holders in the OP and their ownership interest is reflected as equity in the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, a portion of the earnings and losses of the OP are allocated to non-controlling interest holders based on their respective ownership percentages. Upon conversion of OP Units to common stock, any difference between the fair value of common shares issued and the carrying value of the OP Units converted is recorded as a component of equity. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 24,836,863 and 9,591,174 OP Units outstanding, respectively. In addition, as discussed in Note 3 Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated), the historical information of ARCT III and ARCT IV has been presented as if the mergers had occurred from the earliest date of common control for each Merger.
The Company evaluates its relationships and investments to determine if it has variable interests. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entitys expected losses or receive portions of the entitys expected residual returns. The Companys evaluation includes consideration of the qualitative and quantitative significance of fees the Company earns from certain of its relationships and investments. If the Company determines that it has a variable interest in an entity, it evaluates whether such interest is in a variable interest entity (VIE). A VIE is broadly defined as an entity where either (1) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entitys activities without additional subordinated financial support.
A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Consideration of various factors include, but are not limited to, the Companys ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance, its form of ownership interest, its representation on the entitys governing body, the size and seniority of its investment, its ability and the rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions and to replace the manager of and/or liquidate the entity. The Company consolidates any VIEs when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIEs operations and the difference between consolidating the VIE and accounting for it on the equity method would be material to the Companys financial statements.
The Company continually evaluates the need to consolidate joint ventures and the managed investment programs based on standards set forth in GAAP as described above.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Investment in unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2014 consisted of the Companys interest in six joint ventures that owned six properties (the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures). As of March 31, 2014, the Company owned aggregate equity investments of $100.7 million in the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. The Company accounts for the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures using the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of these investments. The equity method of accounting requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Companys share of equity in the joint ventures earnings and distributions.
Investment in Managed REITs
As of March 31, 2014, the Company owned aggregate equity investments of $5.1 million in the following publicly registered, non-traded REITs: Cole Credit Property Trust, Inc. (CCPT); Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. (CCPT IV); Cole Corporate Income Trust, Inc. (CCIT); Cole Real Estate Income Strategy (Daily NAV), Inc. (INAV); Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT II), Inc. (CCIT II); and Cole Credit Property Trust V, Inc. (CCPT V, and collectively with CCPT,

CCPT IV, CCIT, INAV and CCIT II, the Managed REITs). The Company accounts for these investments using the equity method of accounting, which requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Companys share of equity in the respective Managed REITs earnings and distributions.
Leasehold Improvements and Property and Equipment
The Company leases its office facilities under operating leases. Leasehold improvements related to these are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life or remaining lease term.
Property and equipment, which primarily include office furniture, fixtures and equipment and computer hardware and software, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from five to seven years. The Company reassesses the useful lives of its property and equipment and adjusts the future monthly depreciation expense based on the new useful life, as applicable. If the Company disposes of an asset, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are written off upon disposal.

The Company is required to determine whether an event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of any of its investment in the unconsolidated entities. If an event or change in circumstance has occurred, the Company is required to evaluate its investment in the unconsolidated entity for potential impairment and determine if the carrying amount of its investment exceeds its fair value. An impairment charge is recorded when an impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until the carrying amount is fully recovered. The evaluation of an investment in an unconsolidated entity for potential impairment requires the Companys management to exercise significant judgment and to make certain assumptions. The use of different judgments and assumptions could result in different conclusions.
No impairment losses were recorded related to the Companys unconsolidated entities for the period from the Cole Acquisition Date to March 31, 2014.
Leasehold Improvements and Property and Equipment
Leasehold improvements and property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If this review indicates that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable, the Company records an impairment loss, measured at fair value by estimated discounted cash flows or market appraisals. The Company identified two properties during the three months ended March 31, 2014 with impairment indicators. However, the undiscounted future cash flows expected as a result of the use and eventual disposition of the real estate and related assets was in excess of the carrying amounts, and as such no impairment charges were incurred.
Goodwill
In the case of a business combination, after identifying all tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, the excess consideration paid over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired and assumed, respectively, represents goodwill. Goodwill that arose as a result of the Companys mergers and acquisitions was recorded in the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In the event the Company disposes of a property that constitutes a business under U.S. GAAP from a reporting unit with goodwill, the Company will allocate a portion of the reporting units goodwill to that business in determining the gain or loss on the disposal of the business. The amount of goodwill allocated to the business will be based on the relative fair value of the business to the fair value of the reporting unit. The REI segment and Cole Capital each comprise one reporting unit.
The Company will evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the carrying value, by reporting unit, may not be recoverable. The Companys annual testing date is during

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2014 (Unaudited) (Continued)
the fourth quarter. The Company will test goodwill for impairment by first comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value of each reporting unit. If the fair value is determined to be less than the book value or if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a second step is performed to compute the amount of impairment as the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and the carrying value. The Company will estimate the fair value of the reporting units using discounted cash flows and relevant competitor multiples. The evaluation of goodwill for potential impairment requires the Companys management to exercise significant judgment and to make certain assumptions. The use of different judgments and assumptions could result in different conclusions.
The following summarizes the Companys goodwill activity during the three months ended March 31, 2014 by segment (in thousands):

Program Development Costs
The Company pays for organization, registration and offering expenses associated with the sale of common stock of the Managed REITs. The reimbursement of these expenses by the Managed REITs is limited to a certain percentage of the proceeds raised from their offerings, in accordance with their respective advisory agreement and charter. Such expenses paid by the Company on behalf of the Managed REITs in excess of these limits that are expected to be collected are recorded as program development costs. The Company assesses the collectability of the program development costs, considering the offering period and historical and forecasted sales of shares under the Managed REITs respective offering and reserves for any balances considered not collectible. No reserves were recorded as of March 31, 2014, as the Company expects to be reimbursed for all of the program development costs by the Managed REITs as additional proceeds from their respective offerings are raised. Program development costs are included in deferred costs and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Acquisition Related Expenses and Merger and Other Non-routine Transaction Related Expenses
All direct costs incurred as a result of a business combination are classified as acquisition costs or merger and other non-routine transaction costs and expensed as incurred. In addition, indirect costs, such as internal salaries, that are tracked and documented in a manner that clearly indicate that the activities driving the cost directly relate to activities necessary to complete, or effect, a business combination are classified as acquisition related expenses. Similar costs incurred in relation to mergers with entities under common control (which are not accounted for as acquisitions) are included in the caption merger and other non-routine transactions. Acquisition related expenses include legal and other transaction related costs incurred in connection with self-originated acquisitions including purchases of portfolios. Other non-routine transaction costs are also presented within the line item merger and other non-routine transactions in the consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes
The Company currently qualifies and has elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, except as discussed below, the Company generally is not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that it distributes to its stockholders so long as it distributes at least 90% of its annual taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains). REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if the Company maintains its qualification for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
The Company conducts substantially all of its Cole Capital business operations through a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS). A TRS is a subsidiary of a REIT that is subject to corporate federal, state and local income taxes, as applicable. The Companys use of a TRS enables it to engage in certain business activities while complying with the REIT qualification requirements and to retain any income generated by these businesses for reinvestment without the requirement to distribute those earnings. The Company conducts all of its business in the United States, and as a result, the Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. Certain of the Companys inter-company transactions that have been eliminated in consolidation for financial accounting purposes are also subject to taxation.
The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with current authoritative accounting and tax guidance. The tax expense or benefit related to significant, unusual or extraordinary items is recognized in the quarter in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws, rates or tax status is recognized in the quarter in which the change occurs. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or the tax environment changes.
Repurchase Agreements
In certain circumstances the Company may obtain financing through a repurchase agreement. The Company evaluates the initial transfer of a financial instrument and the related repurchase agreement for sale accounting treatment. In instances where the Company maintains effective control over the transferred securities, the Company accounts for the transaction as a secured borrowing, and accordingly, both the securities and related repurchase agreement payable are recorded separately in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in investment securities, at fair value and other debt, net, respectively. In instances where the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred securities, the Company accounts for the transaction as a sale of securities for proceeds consisting of cash and a forward purchase contract.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update, 2014-08 Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (ASU 2014-08), which amends the reporting requirements for discontinued operations by updating the definition of a discontinued operation to be a component of an entity that represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entitys operations and financial results, resulting in fewer disposals that qualify for discontinued operations reporting yet the pronouncement also requires expanded disclosures for discontinued operations. The Company adopted ASU 2014-08 effective January 1, 2014. Starting with the first quarter of 2014, the results of operations for all qualifying disposals and properties classified as held for sale that were not previously reported in discontinued operations in the Amended 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 will be presented within income from continuing operations on the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Note 5 Acquisitions of CapLease and Cole (As Restated)
CapLease Acquisition
On November 5, 2013 (the CapLease Acquisition Date), the Company completed the CapLease Merger, an acquisition of a real estate investment trust that primarily owned and managed a diversified portfolio of single tenant commercial real estate properties subject to long-term leases, the majority of which were net leases, to high credit quality tenants, by acquiring 100% of the outstanding common stock and voting interests of CapLease. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The Companys consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of CapLease subsequent to the CapLease Acquisition Date.
The purchase price includes a cash payment of $920.7 million, which was funded by the Company through additional borrowings under its revolving credit facility and the credit facility assumed from CapLease. See Note 13 Other Debt and Note 14 Credit Facilities.
The purchase price allocation for the CapLease Merger is considered preliminary, and additional adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The purchase price allocation will be finalized as the Company receives additional information relevant to the acquisition, including a final valuation of the assets purchased and liabilities assumed.

Management is in the process of further evaluating the purchase price accounting. The fair value of real estate investments and below-market leases have been estimated by the Company with the assistance of third party valuation firms. Based on a preliminary analysis received to date, the estimated fair value of these assets and liabilities total $2.0 billion and $57.1 million, respectively. The recorded values represent the estimated fair values related to such assets and liabilities. Upon completion of the analysis, including a review of the appraisals and assessment of current market rates, changes to the estimated fair values may result. Such post-closing adjustments are customary in nature in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.
The ascribed value of the non-controlling interest has been estimated based on the fair value of the percentage ownership of The Woodlands, Texas development activity not held by the Company. See Note 7 Real Estate Investments (As Restated).
The fair value of the remaining CapLease assets and liabilities have been calculated in accordance with the Companys policy on purchase price allocation, as disclosed in the Amended 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Goodwill of approximately $92.8 million is expected to be assigned to the REI segment upon completion of the valuation. The goodwill recognized is attributed to the enhancement of the Companys year-round rental revenue stream, expected synergies and the assembled work force at CapLease.
The pro forma consolidated statements of operations in Note 7 Real Estate Investments (As Restated) are presented as if CapLease had been included in the consolidated results of the Company for the entire periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Cole Acquisition
On February 7, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Cole, as discussed in Note 3 Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated). The Company accounted for the Cole Merger as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Therefore, the Companys consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Cole subsequent to the Cole Acquisition Date.
Fair Value of Consideration Transferred
The Company is in the process of gathering certain additional information in order to finalize its assessment of the fair value of the consideration transferred; thus, the fair values of currently recorded assets and liabilities are subject to change. The estimated fair value of the consideration transferred at the Cole Acquisition Date totaled approximately $7.5 billion and consisted of the following (in thousands):

The fair value of the 520.8 million shares of common stock issued, excluding those common shares transferred to former Cole executives, was determined based on the closing market price of the Companys common stock on the Cole Acquisition Date.
Allocation of Consideration
The consideration transferred pursuant to the Cole Merger Agreement was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the REI segment and Cole Capital, based upon their preliminary estimated fair values as of the Cole Acquisition Date.

The fair value of real estate investments and below-market lease liabilities allocated to the REI segment have been estimated by the Company with the assistance of a third party valuation firm. Based on a preliminary analysis received to date, the estimated fair value of these assets and liabilities total $9.0 billion and $212.4 million, respectively. The recorded values represent the estimated fair values related to such assets and liabilities. Upon completion of the analysis, including a review of the appraisals and assessment of current market rates, changes to the estimated fair values may result.
The intangible assets acquired primarily consist of management and advisory contracts that the Company has with the Managed REITs and are subject to an estimated useful life of approximately four years. The Company recorded $14.0 million of amortization expense for the period from the Cole Acquisition Date to March 31, 2014. The estimated amortization expense for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2014 is $72.6 million. The estimated amortization expense for each of the years ending December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017 is $96.3 million and the estimated amortization expense for the year ending December 31, 2018 is $9.8 million.
Goodwill of approximately $1.7 billion is expected to be assigned to the REI segment upon completion of the external valuation. The goodwill recognized is attributed to the enhancement of the Companys year-round rental revenue stream, realized and expected synergies, the impact of the merger on lowering the Companys cost of capital, as well as the benefits of critical mass, improved portfolio diversification and enhanced access to capital markets. Goodwill of approximately $558.8 million is expected to be assigned to Cole Capital upon completion of the external valuation. The goodwill is primarily supported by managements belief that Cole Capital brings an established management platform with numerous strategic benefits including growth from new income streams and the ability to offer new products. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The fair value of the remaining Cole assets and liabilities have been calculated in accordance with the Companys policy on purchase price allocation, as disclosed in the Amended 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The amounts of revenue and net income related to Cole property acquisitions and Cole Capital included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations from the Cole Acquisition Date to the period ended March 31, 2014 was $162.6 million and $0.7 million respectively.
The pro forma consolidated statements of operations in Note 7 Real Estate Investments (As Restated) are presented as if Cole had been included in the consolidated results of the Company for the entire periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
Note 6 Segment Reporting (As Restated)
The Company operates under two segments, REI and Cole Capital.
REI Through its REI segment, the Company acquires, owns and operates a diverse portfolio of core commercial real estate investments primarily consisting of single-tenant, freestanding commercial real estate properties. The Company focuses on investing in properties that are net leased to credit tenants, which are generally large public companies with investment-grade ratings and other creditworthy tenants. The Companys long-term business strategy is to acquire a diverse portfolio consisting of approximately 70.0% long-term leases and 30.0% medium-term, with an average portfolio remaining primary lease term of approximately 10 to 12 years. The Company considers properties that are leased on a medium-term basis to mean properties originally leased long-term (10 years or longer) that currently have a primary remaining lease duration of generally three to eight years, on average. The Company expects this investment strategy to provide for stable income from credit tenants and to provide for growth opportunities from re-leasing of current below market leases. As of March 31, 2014, the Company owned 3,809 properties comprising 101.8 million square feet of single and multi-tenant retail and commercial space located in 49 states, which include properties owned through consolidated joint ventures. As of March 31, 2014, the rentable space at these properties was 98.9% leased with a weighted average remaining lease term of 10.2 years. As of March 31, 2014, the Company also owned 25 commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), 14 loans held for investment and, through the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, had interests in six properties comprising 1.6 million rentable square feet of commercial and retail space.
Cole Capital Cole Capital is contractually responsible for managing the Managed REITs affairs on a day-to-day basis, identifying and making acquisitions and investments on the Managed REITs behalf, and recommending to each of the Managed REITs respective board of directors an approach for providing investors with liquidity. Cole Capital serves as the dealer manager and distributes shares of common stock for certain Managed REITs and advises them regarding offerings, manages relationships with participating broker-dealers and financial advisors and provides assistance in connection with compliance matters relating to the offerings. Cole Capital receives compensation and reimbursement for services relating to the Managed REITs offerings and the investment, management, financing and disposition of their respective assets, as applicable. Cole Capital also develops new REIT offerings, including obtaining regulatory approvals from the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) and various jurisdictions for such offerings.

Prior to the CapLease Acquisition Date, CapLease entered into an agreement with a major Texas-based developer to develop a 150,000 square foot speculative office building in The Woodlands, Texas, adjacent to and part of the same development as an existing office building owned by CapLease since 2012. Costs of the project, which are budgeted to be $34.0 million, are scheduled to be funded by equity contributions from the Company and its developer partner, and $17.0 million of advances during the construction period under a development loan entered into with Amegy Bank. All equity contributions are scheduled to be borne as follows: the Company, 90%; and the developer, 10%; except for cost overruns, which will be borne 50% by each. Because the Company has a controlling financial interest in the investment, it consolidates the investment for financial accounting purposes. The Company has an option to purchase, and the developer the option to sell to the Company, in each case at fair market value, the developers interest in the project upon (i) substantial completion of the project and (ii) leases being entered into for 95% of the square footage of the project. Construction activity and funding of the project commenced during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and was expected to be completed during the second half of 2014. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had a total investment of $12.3 million, including capitalized interest of $45,000, and estimated remaining investment of $21.7 million related to the development project.
Tenant Concentration
The following table lists the tenants of the Company whose annualized rental income, determined on a straight-line basis, represented greater than 10% of consolidated annualized rental income as of March 31, 2013. Annualized rental income for net leases is rental income as of the period reported, which includes the effect of tenant concessions such as free rent, as applicable. There were no tenants exceeding 10% of consolidated annualized rental income March 31, 2014.

CMBS
In connection with the Cole Merger, the Company acquired 15 CMBS with an estimated aggregate fair value of $151.2 million as of the Cole Acquisition Date. As of March 31, 2014, the Company owned 25 CMBS with an estimated aggregate fair value of $212.2 million. As of March 31, 2014, certain of these securities were pledged as collateral under repurchase agreements (the Repurchase Agreements), as discussed in Note 13 Other Debt. As of December 31, 2013, the Company owned 10 CMBS with an estimated aggregate fair value of $60.6 million.
As of March 31, 2014, the fair value of six CMBS were below their amortized cost. The Company evaluated each of the securities for other-than-temporary impairment at March 31, 2014, and determined that no other-than-temporary impairment charges on its securities were appropriate. The Company believes that none of the unrealized losses on investment securities are other-than-temporary because management expects the Company will receive all contractual principal and interest related to these investments. In addition, the Company did not have the intent to sell the securities or believe it would be required to sell them as of March 31, 2014.

Investment in Real Estate Fund
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had investments in a real estate fund that is sponsored by an affiliate of the Former Manager of the Company and which invests primarily in equity securities of other publicly traded REITs.
Note 9 Loans Held for Investment
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, in connection with the Cole Merger, the Company acquired two mortgage notes receivable, each of which is secured by an office building. The mortgage notes had a fair value of $72.3 million as of the Cole Acquisition Date. As of December 31, 2013, the Company owned 12 loans held for investment, which were acquired in connection with the CapLease Merger and consist predominantly of mortgage loans on properties subject to leases to

investment grade tenants. The loans had a fair value of $26.5 million at the CapLease Merger Date. At March 31, 2014, the Company owned 14 loans held for investment, which had a carrying value of $98.2 million and carried interest rates ranging from 5.28% to 7.24%. As of December 31, 2013, the loans held for investment had a carrying value of $26.3 million and carried interest rates ranging from 5.28% to 7.24%. The fair value adjustment is being amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the lives of the secured terms.
The Companys loan portfolio is comprised primarily of fully amortizing or nearly fully amortizing first mortgage loans on commercial real estate leased to a single tenant. Payments of debt service on the Companys loans is, in substantially all cases, funded directly by rent payments paid into a lockbox account by the underlying tenant. Therefore, the Companys monitoring of the credit quality of its loans held for investment is focused primarily on an analysis of the tenant, including review of tenant credit ratings (including changes in ratings) and other measures of tenant credit quality, trends in the tenants industry and general economic conditions and an analysis of measures of collateral coverage, such as an estimate of the loans loan-to-value (LTV) ratio (principal amount outstanding divided by estimated value of the property) and its remaining term until maturity. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no reserve for loan loss.

Note 11 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
40
AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2014 (Unaudited) (Continued)
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that reflect the entitys own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be infrequent.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with those derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2014, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Companys derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2014, the Companys interest rate cap derivative measured at fair value on a recurring basis was zero and was classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, real estate assets with carrying amounts of $4.5 million related to two properties were deemed to be impaired and their carrying amounts were reduced to their estimated fair value, resulting in an impairment charge of $3.3 million. No impairments of real estate assets were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013, respectively.
The Companys estimated fair values of its real estate assets were primarily based upon an income approach utilizing a present value technique to discount the expected cash flows using market participant assumptions for market rent and terminal values, which are considered to be Level 3 inputs, or based upon recent comparable sales transactions, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs. The aggregate fair value of impaired real estate assets as of December 31, 2013 was $1.2 million.
The following table presents information about the Companys assets and liabilities (including derivatives that are presented net) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those instruments fall (in thousands):

Investments in real estate fund The fair value of the Companys investments in real estate fund are based published pricing.
CMBS The fair values of the Companys CMBS are valued using broker quotations, collateral values, subordination levels and liquidity of the individual securities.
Derivatives The valuation of derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Companys potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the counterparties.
Series D Preferred Stock embedded derivative The valuation of this derivative instrument is determined using a binomial option pricing model. Key inputs in the model include the expected term, risk-free interest rate, volatility and dividend yield.
Contingent Consideration Arrangements The contingent consideration arrangements are carried at fair value and are valued using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the contingent payments related to property acquisitions is determined based on the estimated timing and probability of successfully leasing vacant space subsequent to the Companys acquisition of certain properties. The estimated fair value of the property-related contingent consideration arrangements totaled $4.9 million as of March 31, 2014 and is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in deferred rent, derivative and other liabilities. There were no property related contingent consideration arrangements as of December 31, 2013.
The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, due to affiliates and accounts payable approximate their carrying value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets due to their short-term nature and are classified as Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy.
A review of the fair value hierarchy classification is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Barclays Facility
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had available commitments from Barclays Bank PLC, and other committed parties, for up to $2.1 billion in senior secured term loans (the Barclays Facility) in order to fund cash amounts payable in connection with the Cole Merger, which were subject to certain conditions, including the absence of a material adverse effect in respect of Cole, the negotiation of definitive documentation and pro forma compliance with financial covenants. Any other long-term debt obtained by the Company would have reduced the commitments under the Barclays Facility. The Barclays Facility contained an accordion feature to allow the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase commitments thereunder by up to $350.0 million.
The Company could have elected to use the Barclays Facility to fund a portion of the consideration to be paid pursuant to the Cole Merger, to refinance existing indebtedness of Cole and to pay related fees and expenses. The commitments received in the Barclays Facility were schedule to terminate upon the occurrence of certain customary events, and in any event on April 22, 2014, which date may be extended by an additional three months under certain circumstances. The Barclays Facility was terminated upon the issuance of the senior unsecured notes in February 2014, as discussed above. In connection with the termination, the Company recorded $28.6 million as amortization of deferred financing costs associated with the Barclays Facility, which is included in interest expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Repurchase Agreements
As part of the Cole Merger, the Company assumed $49.0 million of repurchase agreements secured by a portion of the Companys CMBS portfolio. The Repurchase Agreements have interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 1.35% to 1.75% and mature on various dates from May 2014 through June 2014. Upon maturity, the Company may elect to renew the Repurchase Agreements for 90 day periods until the CMBS mature. The CMBS have a weighted average remaining term of 7.93 years. Under the Repurchase Agreements, the lender retains the right to mark the underlying collateral to fair value. A reduction in the value of the pledged assets would require the Company to provide additional collateral to fund margin calls. As of March 31, 2014, the securities held as collateral had a fair value of $140.9 million and an amortized cost of $139.3 million. There was no cash collateral held by the counterparty as of March 31, 2014. The Repurchase Agreements are being accounted for as secured borrowings because the Company maintains effective control of the financed assets. The Repurchase Agreements are non-recourse to the Company and the OP and are included in other debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

At March 31, 2014, the Credit Facility contained a $940.0 million term loan facility and a $2.0 billion revolving credit facility, of which $940.0 million and $1.3 billion were outstanding, respectively. In February 2014, the Credit Facility was amended and certain modifications were made to the terms of the agreement. Loans under the Credit Facility are priced at an applicable rate, at the Companys election, of either a floating interest rate based on one month LIBOR, determined on a daily basis, plus 2.25% to 3.00%, or a prime-based interest rate, based upon the Companys current leverage. To the extent that the Company receives an investment grade credit rating as determined by a major credit rating agency, at the Companys election, advances under the revolving credit facility will be priced at their applicable rate plus 0.90% to 1.75% and term loans will be priced at a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.15% to 2.00%, based upon the Companys then current investment grade credit rating. The Company may also make fixed rate borrowings under the Credit Facility. At March 31, 2014, the Company had undrawn commitments of $684.2 million under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility provides for monthly interest payments. In the event of a default, each lender has the right to terminate its obligations under the Credit Facility and to accelerate the payment on any unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans. The Company has guaranteed the obligations under the Credit Facility. The revolving credit facility will terminate on February 14, 2017, unless extended for an additional year pursuant to the terms of the agreement. The Company may prepay borrowings under the Credit Facility and the Company may incur an unused fee of 0.15% to 0.25% per annum on the unused amount depending on the unused balance as a percentage of the total facility and the type of funding. As of March 31, 2014, the Credit Facility also required the Company to maintain certain property available for collateral as a condition to funding.
As of March 31, 2014, there was $2.3 billion outstanding on the Credit Facility, of which $1.3 billion bore a floating interest rate of 3.15%. There is $940.0 million outstanding on the Credit Facility which is fixed through the use of derivative instruments used to hedge interest rate volatility. Including the spread, which can vary based on the Companys leverage, interest on this portion was 2.54% at March 31, 2014. At March 31, 2014, there was up to $684.2 million available to the Company for future borrowings, subject to borrowing availability. The credit facility matures on June 30, 2018.
The Credit Facility requires restrictions on corporate guarantees as well as the maintenance of financial covenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios (such as specified debt to equity and debt service coverage ratios) and the maintenance of a minimum net worth. At March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the debt covenants under the Credit Facility.
ARCT IV Credit Facility

Note 15 Derivatives and Hedging Activities (As restated)
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Companys operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative or other purposes other than interest rate risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Companys objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and collars as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate collars designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts if interest rates rise above the cap strike rate on the contract and payments of variable-rate amounts if interest rates fall below the floor strike rate on the contract.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Companys variable-rate debt. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $10.3 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income as an increase to interest expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company accelerated the reclassification of amounts in other comprehensive income to earnings as a result of the hedged forecasted transactions becoming probable not to occur.

In January 2014, the Company entered into an interest rate lock agreement with a notional amount of $250.0 million (the Treasury Lock Agreement). The Treasury Lock Agreement, which had an original maturity date of February 12, 2014, was entered into to hedge part of the Companys interest rate exposure associated with the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in the ten-year U.S. treasury rates related to the planned issuance of debt securities in conjunction with the Cole Merger. In connection with the Companys bond offering in February 2014, the Company settled the Treasury Lock Agreement, which was accounted for as cash flow hedge, for $3.9 million, which was recorded to other comprehensive loss and will be amortized into earnings over the ten year term of the Treasury Lock.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Companys exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements to be classified as hedging instruments. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings and were approximately a loss of $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company did not have any derivatives that were not designated during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were not designated as qualifying hedging relationships (dollar amounts in thousands):

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.
As of March 31, 2014, the fair value of the interest rate derivatives in a net liability position, including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements, was $10.3 million. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements and was not in breach of any agreement provisions. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their aggregate termination value of $10.3 million at March 31, 2014.

Note 17 Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation or claims. There are no material legal proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against the Company, except as follows:
ARCT III Litigation Matters
After the announcement of the ARCT III Merger Agreement on December 17, 2012, Randell Quaal filed a putative class action lawsuit filed on January 30, 2013 against the Company, the OP, ARCT III, ARCT III OP, the members of the board of directors of ARCT III and certain subsidiaries of the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the board of ARCT III breached its fiduciary duties in connection with the transactions contemplated under the ARCT III Merger Agreement. In February 2013, the parties agreed to a memorandum of understanding regarding settlement of all claims asserted on behalf of the alleged class of ARCT III stockholders. In connection with the settlement contemplated by that memorandum of understanding, the class action and all claims asserted therein will be dismissed, subject to court approval. The proposed settlement terms required ARCT III to make certain additional disclosures related to the ARCT III Merger, which were included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by ARCT III with the SEC on February 21, 2013. The memorandum of understanding also added that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement, which will be subject to customary conditions, including confirmatory discovery and court approval following notice to ARCT IIIs stockholders. If the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing will be scheduled at which the court will consider the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement, that the court will approve any proposed settlement, or that any eventual settlement will be under the same terms as those contemplated by the memorandum of understanding, therefore any losses that may be incurred to settle this matter are not determinable.
CapLease Litigation Matters
Since the announcement of the CapLease Merger Agreement on May 28, 2013, the following lawsuits have been filed:
On May 28, 2013, Jacquelyn Mizani filed a putative class action lawsuit in the Supreme Court for the State of New York against the Company, the OP, Safari Acquisition LLC, CapLease, CapLease LP, CLF OP General Partner, LLC and the members of the CapLease board of directors (the Mizani Action). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the merger agreement at issue was the product of breaches of fiduciary duty by the CapLease directors because the proposed merger transaction (the CapLease Transaction) purportedly does not provide for full and fair value for the CapLease shareholders, the CapLease Transaction allegedly was not the result of a competitive bidding process, the merger agreement allegedly contains coercive deal protection measures and the merger agreement and the CapLease Transaction purportedly were approved as a result of improper self-dealing by certain defendants who would receive certain alleged employment compensation benefits and continued employment pursuant to the merger agreement. The complaint also alleges that CapLease, the Company, the OP and Safari Acquisition LLC aided and abetted the CapLease directors alleged breaches of fiduciary duty.

March 31, 2014 (Unaudited) (Continued)
On July 3, 2013, Fred Carach filed a putative class action and derivative lawsuit in the Supreme Court for the State of New York against the Company, the OP, Safari Acquisition LLC, CapLease, CapLease LP, CLF OP General Partner, LLC and the members of the CapLease board of directors (the Carach Action). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the merger agreement was the product of breaches of fiduciary duty by the CapLease directors because the merger purportedly does not provide for full and fair value for the CapLease shareholders, the CapLease Transaction allegedly was not the result of a competitive bidding process, the merger agreement allegedly contains coercive deal protection measures and the merger agreement and the CapLease Transaction purportedly were approved as a result of improper self-dealing by certain defendants who would receive certain alleged employment compensation benefits and continued employment pursuant to the merger agreement. The complaint also alleges that with respect to the Registration Statement and draft joint proxy statement issued in connection with the proposed CapLease Transaction on July 2, 2013, that disclosures made therein were insufficient or otherwise improper. The complaint also alleges that CapLease, the Company, the OP and Safari Acquisition LLC aided and abetted the CapLease directors alleged breaches of fiduciary duty.
On June 25, 2013, Dewey Tarver filed a putative class action and derivative lawsuit in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City against the Company, the OP, Safari Acquisition LLC, CapLease, CapLease LP, CLF OP General Partner, LLC and the members of the CapLease board of directors (the Tarver Action). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the merger agreement was the product of breaches of fiduciary duty by the CapLease directors because the CapLease Transaction purportedly does not provide for full and fair value for the CapLease shareholders, the CapLease Transaction allegedly was not the result of a competitive bidding process, the merger agreement allegedly contains coercive deal protection measures and the merger agreement and the CapLease Transaction purportedly were approved as a result of improper self-dealing by certain defendants who would receive certain alleged employment compensation benefits and continued employment pursuant to the merger agreement. The complaint also alleges that CapLease, CapLease LP, CLF OP General Partner, LLC, the Company, the OP and Safari Acquisition, LLC aided and abetted the CapLease directors alleged breaches of fiduciary duty.
Counsel who filed each of these three cases reached an agreement with each other as to who will serve as lead plaintiff and lead plaintiffs counsel in the cases and where they will be prosecuted. Thus, on August 9, 2013, counsel in the Tarver Action filed a motion for stay in the Baltimore Court, informing the court that they had agreed to join and participate in the prosecution of the Mizani and Carach Actions in the New York Court. The Defendants consented to the stay of the Tarver Action in the Baltimore Court, and on September 5, 2013, Judge Pamela J. White issued an order granting that stay. Consequently, there has been no subsequent activity in the Baltimore Court in the Tarver Action. Also on August 9, 2013, all counsel involved in the Mizani and Carach Actions filed a joint stipulation in the New York Court, reflecting agreement among all parties that the Mizani and Carach Actions should be consolidated (jointly, the Consolidated Actions) and setting out a schedule for early motion practice in response to the complaints filed (the Consolidation Stipulation). Pursuant to the Consolidation Stipulation, an amended complaint was also filed in the New York court on August 9, 2013 and was designated as the operative complaint in the Consolidated Actions (Operative Complaint). Pursuant to the Consolidation Stipulation, all Defendants filed a motion to dismiss all claims asserted in the Operative Complaint on September 23, 2013. Plaintiffs response was due on or before November 7, 2013. On November 7, 2013, Plaintiffs filed a motion seeking leave to file a second amended complaint, which the Defendants have opposed. On March 24, 2014, Plaintiffs counsel in the Consolidated Actions dismissed those claims without prejudice. Consequently, only the Tarver Action currently remains pending among these cases, although it remains stayed.
On October 8, 2013, John Poling filed a putative class action lawsuit in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City against the Company, the OP, Safari Acquisition LLC, CapLease, CapLease LP, CLF OP General Partner, LLC and the members of the CapLease board of directors (the Poling Action). The complaint alleges that the merger agreement breaches the terms of the CapLease 8.375% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (Series B) and the terms of the 7.25% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (Series C) and is in violation of the Series B Articles Supplementary and the Series C Articles Supplementary. The Complaint alleges claims for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty against the CapLease entities and the CapLease board of directors. The complaint also alleges that the Company, the OP and Safari Acquisition, LLC aided and abetted CapLease and the CapLease directors alleged breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty.

March 31, 2014 (Unaudited) (Continued)
On November 13, 2013, all counsel involved in the Poling Action filed a joint stipulation, reflecting agreement among all parties concerning a schedule for early motion practice in response to the complaint filed (the Scheduling Stipulation). Pursuant to the Scheduling Stipulation, all Defendants filed a motion to dismiss all claims asserted in the Operative Complaint on December 20, 2013. Plaintiffs counsel has opposed that the motion to dismiss, and a hearing on the motion tis currently scheduled for May 15, 2014.
Cole Litigation Matters
Three putative class action and/or derivative lawsuits, which were filed earlier this year, assert claims for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, corporate waste, unjust enrichment, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty and other claims relating to the merger between a wholly owned subsidiary of Cole and Cole Holdings Corporation, pursuant to which Cole became a self-managed REIT. On October 22, 2013, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City granted all defendants motion to dismiss with prejudice the action pending before the court, but the plaintiffs have appealed that dismissal. The other two lawsuits, which also purport to assert shareholder class action claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), are pending in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss both complaints on January 10, 2014. Subsequently, both of those lawsuits have been stayed by the Court pursuant to a joint request made by all parties pending final approval of the consolidated Baltimore Cole Merger Actions described below.
To date, eleven lawsuits have been filed in connection with the Cole Merger. Two of these suits - Wunsch v. Cole, et al (Wunsch), No. 13-CV-2186, and Sobon v. Cole, et al (Sobon) - were filed as putative class actions on October 25, 2013 and November 18, 2013, respectively, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. Between October 30, 2013 and November 14, 2013, eight other putative stockholder class action or derivative lawsuits were filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, captioned as: (i) Operman v. Cole, et al (Operman); (ii) Branham v. Cole, et al (Branham); (iii) Wilfong v. Cole, et al. (Wilfong); (iv) Polage v. Cole, et al. (Polage); (v) Corwin v. Cole, et al (Corwin); (vi) Green v. Cole, et al (Green); (vii) Flynn v. Cole, et al (Flynn) and (viii) Morgan v. Cole, et al. (Morgan). All of these lawsuits name the Company, Cole and Coles board of directors as defendants; Wunsch, Sobon, Branham, Wilfong, Flynn, Green, Morgan and Polage also name CREInvestments, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Cole, as a defendant. All of the named plaintiffs claim to be Cole stockholders and purport to represent all holders of Coles stock. Each complaint generally alleges that the individual defendants breached fiduciary duties owed to plaintiff and the other public stockholders of Cole in connection with the Cole Merger, and that certain entity defendants aided and abetted those breaches. The breach of fiduciary duty claims asserted include claims that the Cole Merger does not provide for full and fair value for the Cole shareholders, that the Cole Merger was the product of an inadequate sale process, that the Cole Merger Agreement contains coercive deal protection measures and the Cole Merger Agreement and that the Cole Merger were approved as a result of or in a manner which facilitates improper self-dealing by certain defendants. In addition, the Flynn, Corwin, Green, Wilfong, Polage and Branham lawsuits claim that the individual defendants breached their duty of candor to shareholders and the Branham and Polage lawsuits assert claims derivatively against the individual defendants for their alleged breach of fiduciary duties owed to Cole. The Polage lawsuit also asserts derivative claims for waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. The Wunsch and Sobon lawsuits also assert claims against Cole and the individual defendants under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), based on allegations that the proxy materials omitted to disclose allegedly material information, and a claim against the individual defendants under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act based on the same allegations. Among other remedies, the complaints seek unspecified money damages, costs and attorneys fees.

March 31, 2014 (Unaudited) (Continued)
In January 2014, the parties to the eight lawsuits filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland (the consolidated Baltimore Cole Merger Actions) entered into a memorandum of understanding regarding settlement of all claims asserted on behalf of the alleged class of Cole stockholders. In connection with the settlement contemplated by that memorandum of understanding, the class action and all claims asserted therein will be dismissed, subject to court approval. The proposed settlement terms required Cole to make certain additional disclosures related to the Cole Merger, which were included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Cole with the SEC on January 14, 2014. The memorandum of understanding also contemplated that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement, which will be subject to customary conditions, including confirmatory discovery and court approval following notice to Coles stockholders. If the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing will be scheduled at which the court will consider the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement, that the court will approve any proposed settlement, or that any eventual settlement will be under the same terms as those contemplated by the memorandum of understanding, therefore any losses that may be incurred to settle this matter are not determinable.
The Sobon lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed on February 3, 2014. The Company believes that the Wunsch lawsuit in connection with the Cole Merger is without merit and that it has substantial meritorious defenses to the claims set forth in the complaint.
On December 27, 2013, Realistic Partners filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company and the members of its board of directors in the Supreme Court for the State of New York. Cole was later added as a defendant also. The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the board of the Company breached its fiduciary duties in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Cole Merger Agreement and that Cole aided and abetted those breaches. In January 2014, the parties entered into a memorandum of understanding regarding settlement of all claims asserted on behalf of the alleged class of the Companys stockholders. In connection with the settlement contemplated by that memorandum of understanding, the class action and all claims asserted therein will be dismissed, subject to court approval. The proposed settlement terms required the Company to make certain additional disclosures related to the Cole Merger, which were included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on January 17, 2014. The memorandum of understanding also contemplated that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement, which will be subject to customary conditions, including confirmatory discovery and court approval following notice to the Companys stockholders. If the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing will be scheduled at which the court will consider the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement, that the court will approve any proposed settlement, or that any eventual settlement will be under the same terms as those contemplated by the memorandum of understanding, therefore any losses that may be incurred to settle this matter are not determinable.
The Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance, which the Company believes should provide coverage to the Company and its officers and directors for most or all of any costs, settlements or judgments resulting from the lawsuits.

Purchase Commitments
Cole Capital enters into purchase and sale agreements and deposits funds into escrow towards the purchase of such acquisitions, most of which are expected to be assigned to one of the Managed REITs at or prior to the closing of the respective acquisition. As of March 31, 2014, the Company was a party to 41 purchase and sale agreements with unaffiliated third-party sellers to purchase a 100% interest in 157 properties, subject to meeting certain criteria, for an aggregate purchase price of $520.7 million, exclusive of closing costs. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $10.1 million of property escrow deposits held by escrow agents in connection with these future property acquisitions, which may be forfeited if the transactions are not completed under certain circumstances. The Company will be reimbursed by the assigned Managed REIT for amounts escrowed when it acquires a property.
Environmental Matters
In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and is not aware of any other environmental condition, in each case, that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations.
Note 18 Preferred and Common Stock
Series D and Series E Preferred Stock
On September 12, 2013, the Companys board of directors unanimously approved the issuance of Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (Series D Preferred Stock) and the issuance of Series E Cumulative Preferred Stock (Series E Preferred Stock).
On September 15, 2013, the Company entered into definitive purchase agreements pursuant to which it agreed to issue Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to certain institutional holders promptly following the close of the CapLease Merger, via a private placement. Pursuant to the definitive purchase agreements, the Company issued approximately 21.7 million shares of Series D Preferred Stock and 15.1 million shares of common stock, for gross proceeds of $288.0 million and $186.0 million, respectively, on November 12, 2013. The Series D Preferred Stock will pay dividends at the rate of 5.81% per annum on its face amount of $13.59 per share (equivalent to $0.79 per share on an annualized basis). The Series D Preferred Stock is redeemable by the Company on August 31, 2014 (the Redemption Date). Subsequent to that date, or in certain other circumstances, the Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock or Series E Preferred Stock or redeemable into cash, at the discretion of the Company upon such request for conversion by the holders of Series D Preferred Stock.
In the event of a liquidation, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive the greater of (a) $13.59 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends (the Liquidation Preference) plus a 20% premium and (b) an amount the Series D Preferred Stock holders would have received had they converted into shares of common stock immediately prior to the liquidation event.
If the Company elects to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock on the Redemption Date, the Company shall pay the greater of (a) the product of the number of Series D Preferred Stock and the 102% of the Liquidation Preference and (b) the product of the shares of common stock that would be issued if the Series D Preferred Stock converted immediately prior to the Redemption Date and 102% of the one-day value-weighted average price (VWAP) of the common stock.
56
AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2014 (Unaudited) (Continued)
At any time after the Redemption Date, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock may convert some or all of their outstanding Series D Preferred Stock into shares of common stock. Upon such an election to convert, the Company may elect the following settlement options (1) convert the shares of Series D Preferred Stock into the number of fully paid and non-assessable common stock obtained by dividing the aggregate Liquidation Preference of such Series D Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price, as defined below, (2) convert the shares of Series D Preferred Stock into an equal number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock, additional shares of Series E Preferred Stock may be issued under certain circumstances, or (3) an amount equal to the product of the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock and the Cash Conversion Price, as defined below.
The Conversion Price shall be the lowest of (i) a 2% discount to the VWAP of the common stock for the 10 Trading Days prior to the Conversion Election Date, (ii) a 2% discount to the closing price on the Conversion Election Date and (iii) $13.59. The Cash Conversion Price shall be the greater of (i) 102% of the Liquidation Preference and (ii) the one-day VWAP of the common stock on the date of the election.
The Company has concluded that the conversion option qualifies as a derivative and should be bifurcated from the host instrument. At issuance, the conversion option had a fair value of $18.7 million. As of March 31, 2014, the fair value of the conversion option had a fair value of $26.7 million, compared to a fair value of $16.7 million as of December 31, 2013. The Company recorded the change in fair value of $10.0 million in loss on derivative instruments, net in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
As the holders of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive liquidation preferences that other equity holders are not entitled to, the Company determined the Series D Preferred Stock meets the definition of a deemed liquidation event and therefore should be classified as temporary equity under U.S. GAAP. At the date of issuance, the fair value of the Series D Preferred Stock was $269.3 million. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has determined that a liquidation event is not probable; therefore, the Company has concluded that the Series D Preferred Stock is not currently redeemable or likely to become redeemable. As such, the Company has not accreted the initial value of the Series D Preferred Stock.
As of March 31, 2014, there were 21,735,008 authorized and issued shares of Series D Preferred Stock and no authorized and issued shares of Series E Preferred Stock, respectively.
Series F Preferred Stock
On October 6, 2013, in connection with the modification to the ARCT IV Merger, the Companys board of directors unanimously approved the issuance of Series F Preferred Stock. Upon consummation of the ARCT IV Merger on January 3, 2014, 42.2 million shares of Series F Preferred Stock were issued to ARCT IV shareholders and issued 0.7 million units of Series F OP Units to the ARCT IV OP Unit holders. Subsequent to original issuance and through March 31, 2014, 455,372 Series F OP Units were converted into an equivalent number of Series F Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2014, there were 42,654,919 shares of Series F Preferred Stock and 266,093 Series F OP Units issued and outstanding.

AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2014 (Unaudited) (Continued)
The Series F Preferred Stock will pay cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 6.70% per annum on its liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (equivalent to $1.675 per share on an annual basis). The Series F Preferred Stock will not be redeemable by the Company before the fifth anniversary of the date on which such Series F Preferred Stock is issued (the Initial Redemption Date), except under circumstances intended to preserve the Companys status as a real estate investment trust for federal and/or state income tax purposes and except upon the occurrence of a change of control. On and after the Initial Redemption Date, the Company may, at its option, redeem shares of the Series F Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus, subject to exceptions, any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption. The shares of Series F Preferred Stock have no stated maturity, are not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless the Company redeems or otherwise repurchases them or they become convertible and are converted into common stock (or, if applicable, alternative consideration). The Series F Preferred Stock trades on the NASDAQ under the symbol ARCPP.
Increases in Authorized Common Stock
On December 9, 2013, the Company filed articles of amendment to its charter to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 1.5 billion shares.
Offerings
On August 1, 2012, the Company filed a $500 million universal shelf registration statement and a resale registration statement with the SEC. Each registration statement became effective on August 17, 2012.

Note 19 Equity-based Compensation (As Restated)
Equity Plan
The Company has adopted the American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. Equity Plan (the Equity Plan), which provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights and other stock-based awards to the Companys and its affiliates non-executive directors, officers and other employees and advisors or consultants who are providing services to the Company or its affiliates.
The Company authorized and reserved a total number of shares equal to 10.0% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock (on a fully diluted basis assuming the redemption of all OP Units for shares of common stock) to be issued at any time under the Equity Plan for equity incentive awards excluding an initial grant of 167,400 shares to its Former Manager in connection with the IPO, all of which were vested as of March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has awarded 6,774,288 shares under the Equity Plan. In the first quarter of 2014, the Company issued 282,854 shares to its non-executive directors pursuant to the Equity Plan. Upon issuance, the documentation provided for accelerated vesting of shares upon voluntary resignation of the independent directors. As a result, the Company determined there was no required service period and $3.6 million has been recorded as expense during the three months ended March 31, 2014. However, based upon the findings of the Audit Committee and the Company in connection with the recent review of the Companys previously filed financial statements, the Company subsequently modified such awards to provide that voluntary resignation would not accelerate the vesting of such awards.
The fair value of restricted common stock awards awarded to employees under the Equity Plan is generally determined on the grant date using the closing stock price on NASDAQ that day and is expensed over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted common stock awarded to non-employees under the Equity Plan is measured based upon the fair value of goods or services received or the equity instruments granted, whichever is more reliably determinable and is typically expensed in full at the date of grant.
Director Stock Plan
The Company has adopted the American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. Non-Executive Director Stock Plan (the Director Stock Plan), which provides for the grant of restricted shares of common stock to each of the Companys independent directors, each of whom is a non-executive director. Awards of restricted stock will vest in accordance with the award agreements, which generally provide for ratable vesting over a five-year period following the date of grant. The awards of restricted stock provide for distribution equivalents with respect to this restricted stock, whether or not vested, at the same time and in the same amounts as distributions are paid to the stockholders. At March 31, 2014, a total of 99,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the Director Stock Plan. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has awarded 45,000 shares under the Director Stock Plan.
The fair value of restricted common stock awards under the Director Stock Plan is determined on the grant date using the closing stock price on NASDAQ that day.

ARCT IV Restricted Share Plan
ARCT IV had an employee and director incentive restricted share plan (the RSP), which provided for the automatic grant of 1,333 restricted shares of common stock to each of its independent directors without any further action by ARCT IVs board of directors or its stockholders on the date of initial election to the board of directors and on the date of each annual stockholders meeting thereafter. Restricted stock issued to independent directors vested over a five-year period following the date of grant in increments of 20% per annum. The RSP provided ARCT IV with the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to its directors, officers and employees (if ARCT IV ever had employees), employees of the ARCT IV Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provided services to ARCT IV, directors of the ARCT IV Advisor or of entities that provided services to ARCT IV, certain consultants to ARCT IV and the ARCT IV Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provided services to ARCT IV.
Immediately prior to the effective time of the ARCT IV Merger, each then-outstanding share of ARCT IV restricted stock fully vested. All shares of ARCT IV common stock then-outstanding as a result of the full vesting of shares of ARCT IV restricted stock, and the satisfaction of any applicable withholding taxes, received shares of the Companys common stock and additional consideration pursuant to the terms of the ARCT IV Merger Agreement based on the ARCT IV Exchange Ratio.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, compensation expense, excluding Outperformance Bonus expense related to the OPP, for restricted shares was $17.5 million, which is recorded in general and administrative on the consolidated statement of operations.
Multi-Year Outperformance Plan
Upon consummation of the ARCT III Merger, the Company entered into the 2013 Advisor Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement (the OPP) with its Former Manager, whereby its Former Manager was able to potentially earn compensation upon the attainment of stockholder value creation targets.
Under the OPP, the Former Manager was granted 8,241,101 long-term incentive plan units of the OP (LTIP Units), which could be earned or forfeited based on the Companys total return to stockholders (including both share price appreciation and common stock distributions) (Total Return), for the three-year period that commenced on December 11, 2012.
Pursuant to previous authorization of the Companys board of directors, as a result of the termination of the Management Agreement, all 8,241,101 LTIP Units became fully earned, vested and convertible into OP units upon the consummation of the Companys transition to self-management on January 8, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded expenses of $1.6 million for the LTIP Units under the OPP, which is recorded in general and administrative in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2014, all LTIP Units under the OPP were earned and $93.9 million of the expense has been included in non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheets.

New Multi-Year Outperformance Plan
On October 3, 2013, the Company approved a multi-year outperformance plan (the New OPP), which became effective upon the Companys transition to self-management, which occurred on January 8, 2014. Under the New OPP, individual agreements were entered into between the Company and the participants selected by the Compensation Committee (the Participants) that set forth the Participants participation percentage in the New OPP and the number of LTIP Units of the OP subject to the award (OPP Agreements). Under the New OPP and the OPP Agreements, the Participants are eligible to earn performance-based bonus awards equal to the Participants participation percentage of a pool that is funded up to a maximum award opportunity (the New OPP Cap) of approximately 5% of the Companys equity market capitalization at the time of the approval of the New OPP (the Initial Market Cap).
After the Audit Committees and the Companys review of the OPP, such parties have determined that the Compensation Committees intention in respect of the OPP was that the maximum award pool opportunity should have been $120.0 million. In October 2013, the Compensation Committee approved an aggregate award pool to be measured by the Companys market capitalization as of the date of such approval; however, the OPP was definitively documented to measure market capitalization on a pro forma basis as of the Companys transition to self-management (including the pro forma impact of various transactions expected to be consummated prior to the Companys transition to self-management on January 8, 2014), which was calculated in December 2013.
Subject to the New OPP Cap, the pool will equal an amount to be determined based on the Companys level of achievement of total return to stockholders, including both share price appreciation and common stock distributions (Total Return), as measured against an absolute hurdle and against a peer group of companies for a three-year performance period that commenced on October 1, 2013 (the Performance Period); with valuation dates on which a portion of the LTIP Units up to a specified amount of the New OPP Cap could be earned on the last day of each 12-month period during the Performance Period (each an Annual Period) and the initial 24-month period of the Performance Period (the Interim Period), as follows:
Performance Period |
Annual Period |
Interim Period | ||||
Absolute Component: 4% of any excess Total Return attained above an absolute hurdle measured from the beginning of such period: |
21% | 7% | 14% | |||
Relative Component: 4% of any excess Total Return attained above the median Total Return for the performance period of the Peer Group(1), subject to a ratable sliding scale factor as follows based on achievement of cumulative Total Return measured from the beginning of such period: |
||||||
100% will be earned if cumulative Total Return achieved is at least: |
18% | 6% | 12% | |||
50% will be earned if a cumulative Total Return achieved is: |
0% | 0% | 0% | |||
0% will be earned if cumulative Total Return achieved is less than: |
0% | 0% | 0% | |||
a percentage from 50% to 100% calculated by linear interpolation will be earned if cumulative Total Return achieved is if between: |
0% - 18% | 0% - 6% | 0% - 12% |
(1) | The Peer Group is comprised of the following companies: EPR Properties; Getty Realty Corporation; Lexington Realty Trust; National Retail Properties, Inc.; Realty Income Corporation; and Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. |
The New OPP provides for early calculation and vesting of the award in the event of a change in control of the Company, prior to the end of the Performance Period. The Participants are entitled to receive a tax gross-up in the event that any amounts paid to the Participant under the New OPP constitute parachute payments as defined in Section 280G of the Code. The LTIP Units granted under the New OPP represent units of equity ownership in the OP that are structured as a profits interest therein. Subject to the Participants continued service through each vesting date, one-third of any earned LTIP Units will vest on October 1, 2016, October 1, 2017 and October 1, 2018, respectively. The Participants are entitled to receive distributions on their LTIP Units to the extent provided for in the limited partnership agreement of the OP, as amended from time to time. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded expenses of $2.5 million for the New OPP, which is recorded in equity based compensation and included with general and administrative on the consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2014, the Company recorded a total payable for distributions on LTIP units related to the OPP and the New OPP of $7.1 million.

Base Management Fees
Prior to the termination of the amended and restated management agreement, the Company paid the Former Manager an annual base management fee equal to 0.50% per annum of the average unadjusted book value of the Companys real estate assets, calculated and payable monthly in advance, for the value of assets up to $3.0 billion and 0.40% per annum for the unadjusted book value of assets over $3.0 billion. The management fee was generally payable in cash however in lieu of cash. Prior to the ARCT III Merger, the Former Manager was entitled to an annual base management fee equal to 0.50% per annum for the unadjusted book value of assets with no asset threshold limitations. The Former Manager waived its management fee of $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Asset Management Fees
ARCT III
Effective July 1, 2012, as payment for the asset management fee, ARCT III issued (subject to periodic approval by its board of directors) to the ARCT III Advisor performance-based restricted partnership units of the ARCT III OP designated as ARCT III Class B units, which were intended to be profits interests and to vest, and no longer be subject to forfeiture, at such time as: (x) the value of the ARCT III OPs assets plus all distributions that equaled or exceeded the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded annual return thereon (the economic hurdle); and (y) a liquidity event had occurred.
The ARCT III Advisor received distributions on unvested ARCT III Class B units equal to the distribution rate received on ARCT III common stock. In 2012, the ARCT III board of directors approved the issuance of 145,022 ARCT III Class B units to the ARCT III Advisor for asset management services it provided. In 2013, the ARCT III board of directors approved issuance of an additional 603,599 ARCT III Class B units to the ARCT III Advisor for asset management services it provided. As of December 31, 2012, ARCT III did not consider achievement of the performance condition to be probable as the shareholder vote for the ARCT III Merger, which would allow vesting of these ARCT III Class B Units, was not completed. The performance condition related to these ARCT III Class B units was satisfied upon the completion of the ARCT III Merger and as a result a $9.4 million expense was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The 748,621 ARCT III Class B units converted into ARCT III OP Units, which converted on a one-to-one basis, into 711,190 OP Units after the application of the ARCT III Exchange Ratio.
In connection with a 60-day extension of the advisory agreement which was executed in order to facilitate the smooth transition of advisory services following the consummation of the ARCT III Merger, the Company incurred and paid additional asset management fees of $2.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. No such fees were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
ARCT IV
In connection with the asset management services provided by the ARCT IV Advisor, ARCT IV issued (subject to periodic approval by ARCT IVs board of directors) to the ARCT IV Advisor performance-based restricted partnership units of the ARCT IV OP designated as ARCT IV Class B Units, which were intended to be profit interests and to vest, and no longer be subject to forfeiture, at such time as: (x) the value of the ARCT IV OPs assets plus all distributions that equaled or exceeded the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded annual return thereon (the economic hurdle); (y) any one of the following occurs: (1) the termination of the advisory agreement by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Companys independent directors without cause; (2) a listing; or (3) another liquidity event; and (z) the ARCT IV Advisor was still providing advisory services to ARCT IV.
The calculation of the ARCT IV asset management fees was equal to: (i) 0.1875% of the cost of ARCT IVs assets; divided by (ii) the value of one share of ARCT IV common stock as of the last day of such calendar quarter. When approved by the board of directors, the ARCT IV Class B Units were issued to the ARCT IV Advisor quarterly in arrears pursuant to the terms of the ARCT IV OP agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2013, ARCT IVs board of directors approved the issuance of 492,483 ARCT IV Class B Units to the ARCT IV Advisor in connection with this arrangement. As of December 31, 2013, ARCT IV did not consider achievement of the performance condition to be probable and no expense was recorded at that time. The ARCT IV Advisor received distributions on unvested ARCT IV Class B Units equal to the distribution rate received on the ARCT IV common stock. The performance condition related to the 498,857 ARCT IV Class B Units, which includes units issued for the period of January 1, 2014 through the ARCT IV Merger Date, was satisfied upon the completion of the ARCT IV Merger. These ARCT IV Class B Units immediately converted into OP Units at the 2.3961 exchange ratio discussed in Note 3 Mergers and Acquisitions and the Company recorded an expense of $13.9 million based on the fair value of the ARCT IV Class B Units during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

As a result of these relationships, the Company was dependent upon the Former Manager its affiliates and entities affiliated with the Former Manager. In the event that these companies were unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company would have been required to find alternative providers of these services. As a result of the ARCT III Merger, the Company internalized certain accounting and property acquisition services previously performed by its Former Manager and its affiliates. The Company may from time to time engage entities affiliated with the Former Manager for legal, information technology or other support services for which it will pay a fee, subject to approval by the Companys independent directors.
Note 22 Net Loss Per Share (As Restated)
The Companys unvested restricted stock and LTIPs contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are considered to be participating securities in accordance with GAAP and, therefore, are included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method. Under the two-class computation method, net losses are not allocated to participating securities unless the holder of the security has a contractual obligation to share in the losses. The unvested restricted stock and LTIPS are not allocated losses as the awards do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses of the Company. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common shares and participating securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.
The following is a summary of the basic and diluted net loss per share computation for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (dollar amounts in thousands, except for per share data):

AMERICAN REALTY CAPITAL PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2014 (Unaudited) (Continued)
Based on the above, Cole Capital, substantially all of which is conducted through a TRS, recognized a benefit from federal and state income taxes of $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which is included in other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. No provision or benefit for income taxes was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as the Company did not commence operations for Cole Capital until the Cole Acquisition Date. The difference in the benefit from income taxes reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as compared to the benefit calculated at the statutory federal income tax rate is primarily attributable to various permanent differences and state and local income taxes.
The REI segment recognized state income and franchise taxes of $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of or during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits would be recognized within the provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as various state jurisdictions, and is subject to routine examinations by the respective tax authorities. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal or state examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010.
Note 25 Subsequent Events (As Restated)
Significant events that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2014 are detailed within the Amended 10-K. Please refer to Note 24 Subsequent Events (As Restated) in the Amended 10-K.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. (Certain Sections Restated or Corrected)
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements of American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. (the Company) and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms we, our and us refer to American Realty Capital Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and, as required by context, including its operating partnership and its subsidiaries. Prior to becoming self-managed as of January 8, 2014, the Company was externally managed by ARC Properties Advisors, LLC (the Former Manager), a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of AR Capital, LLC (ARC). Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed to those terms in Part I -Financial Information, including the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained therein.
Restatement
As discussed in the explanatory note to this Amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (this Form 10-Q/A) and Note 2 Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements to the consolidated financial statements, we are restating our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014.
Forward-Looking Statements (As Restated)
This Form 10-Q/A includes forward-looking statements that reflect our expectations and projections about our future results, performance, prospects and opportunities. We have attempted to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as may, will, expects, anticipates, believes, intends, should, estimates, could or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to us and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, those discussed below. We do not undertake publicly to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required to satisfy our obligations under federal securities law.
The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
| We have a limited operating history and limited experience operating a public company. This inexperience makes our future performance difficult to predict. |
| The competition for the type of properties we desire to acquire may cause our dividends and the long-term returns of our investors to be lower than they otherwise would be. |
| We may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire on favorable terms or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for dividends to our stockholders, per share trading price of our common stock and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations. |
| We depend on tenants for our revenue, and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. |
76
| Failure by any major tenant with leases in multiple locations to make rental payments to us, because of a deterioration of its financial condition or otherwise, or the termination or non-renewal of a lease by a major tenant, would have a material adverse effect on us. |
| We are subject to tenant industry concentrations that make us more susceptible to adverse events with respect to certain industries. |
| Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders. |
| We may be unable to make scheduled payments on our debt obligations. |
| We may not generate cash flows sufficient to pay our dividends to stockholders, and as such we may be forced to borrow at higher rates to fund our operations. |
| We may be unable to pay or maintain cash dividends or increase dividends over time. |
| We may be affected by the incurrence of additional secured or unsecured debt. |
| We may be adversely affected by increases in interest rates or a failure to maintain our OPs credit rating. |
| We may not be able to integrate the assets and businesses acquired in Recent Acquisitions (defined below) into our existing portfolio or with our business successfully, or may not realize the anticipated benefits within the expected timeframe or at all. |
| We may not be able to effectively manage or dispose of assets acquired in connection with our Recent Acquisitions that do not fit within our target assets. |
| We may not be able to effectively manage our expanded portfolio and operations following our Recent Acquisitions. |
| We may be affected by risks associated with current and future litigation, including pending and filed securities litigation and governmental inquiries. |
| We may not be able to successfully acquire future properties on advantageous terms. |
| We may not be able to achieve and maintain profitability. |
| We are subject to risks associated with lease terminations, tenant defaults, bankruptcies and insolvencies and tenant credit, geographic and industry concentrations. |
| We could be subject to unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities that may arise from our Recent Acquisitions. |
| We may fail to qualify to be treated as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (REIT). |
| We may be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. |
| Once we resume paying a dividend in respect of our common stock, there is no guarantee that such dividend will be paid at a rate equal to or at the same frequency as our previously declared monthly dividend. |
| Our financial condition may be affected by our recent credit rating downgrade which could impact our access to capital and the terms of potential financing. |
| We have material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting we have reported for prior periods and we may not be able to remediate such material weaknesses in a timely enough manner to eliminate the risks posed by such material weaknesses in future periods. |
| Failure to timely deliver on or before March 31, 2015 our and the OPs annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 in light of our obligations pursuant to an agreement with the lenders under the Credit Facility and pursuant to the terms of our indentures governing our senior unsecured and convertible notes could result in an event of default. |
| We may not satisfy NASDAQs requirements for regaining compliance with its listing rules and, if so, NASDAQ could delist our common stock and Series F Preferred Stock. |
77
All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q/A.
Overview
We were incorporated on December 2, 2010 as a Maryland corporation that qualified as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning in the taxable year ended December 31, 2011. On September 6, 2011, we completed our IPO and our shares of common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (NASDAQ) under the symbol ARCP.
Our business operates in two business segments, Real Estate Investment (REI) and our private capital management business, Cole Capital (Cole Capital). Through our REI segment, we acquire, own and operate single-tenant, freestanding commercial real estate properties, primarily subject to net leases with high credit quality tenants. We focus on investing in properties that are net leased to credit tenants, which are generally large public companies with investment-grade ratings and other creditworthy tenants. Our long-term business strategy is to continue to acquire a diverse portfolio consisting of approximately 70% long-term leases and 30% medium-term leases, with an average remaining lease term of 10 to 12 years. We expect this investment strategy to provide for stable income from credit tenants and to provide for growth opportunities from re-leasing of current below market leases. We have advanced our investment objectives by growing our net lease portfolio through strategic mergers and acquisitions.
As a result of the Cole Merger, in addition to operating a diverse portfolio of core commercial real estate investments, we are responsible for managing the Managed REITs affairs on a day-to-day basis, identifying and making acquisitions and investments on the Managed REITs behalf, and recommending to each of the Managed REITs respective board of directors an approach for providing investors with liquidity. We receive compensation and reimbursement for services relating to the Managed REITs offerings and the investment, management, financing and disposition of their respective assets, as applicable. Furthermore, we, through a wholly owned subsidiary, wholly own Cole Capital Advisors, Inc. (CCA), which we and CCA jointly elected to treat as a TRS for federal income tax purposes. In order to avoid a potential adverse impact on our status as a REIT, we conduct substantially all of our investment management business through the TRS.
Prior to January 8, 2014, we retained the Former Manager to manage our affairs on a day-to-day basis with the exception of certain acquisition, accounting and portfolio management services performed by our employees. In August 2013, our board of directors determined that it is in the best interests of us and our stockholders to become self-managed and we completed our transition to self-management on January 8, 2014. In connection with becoming self-managed, we terminated the existing management agreement with our Former Manager, entered into employment and incentive compensation arrangements with our executives and acquired from our Former Manager certain assets necessary for our operations.
78
On March 13, 2014, we announced a plan to spin off substantially all of our multi-tenant shopping center properties into a newly formed publicly traded entity expected to qualify as a REIT, American Realty Capital Centers, Inc., that will operate under the name ARCenters and that is expected to trade on The NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol ARCM. The OP is expected to retain 25% ownership stake of ARCMs outstanding shares of common stock. The spin-off will be effected through a pro rata taxable special distribution of one share of ARCenters common stock for every 10 shares of our common stock and every 10 OP Units. The initial Form 10 registration statement relating to the spin-off was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 4, 2014 and the distribution is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2014. Our board of directors have unanimously approved a plan to pursue the spin-off. The transaction is subject to certain conditions, including declaration by the SEC that ARCenters registration statement is effective, filing and approval of ARCenters listing application with The NASDAQ Global Market, customary third-party consents, and formal approval and declaration of the specified distribution by our board of directors. We may, at any time and for any reason until the proposed transaction is complete, abandon the spin-off or modify or change its terms.
As of March 31, 2014, we owned 3,809 properties consisting of 101.8 million square feet, which were 98.9% leased with a weighted average remaining lease term of 10.2 years. In constructing our portfolio, we are committed to diversification by industry, tenant and geography. As of March 31, 2014, rental revenues derived from investment grade tenants and tenants affiliated with investment grade entities as determined by a major rating agency approximated 49% (we have attributed the rating of each parent company to its wholly owned subsidiary for purposes of this disclosure). Our strategy encompasses receiving the majority of our REI revenue from investment grade tenants as we further acquire properties and enter into, or assume, lease arrangements.
Mergers and Major Acquisitions
American Realty Capital Trust III, Inc. Merger
On December 14, 2012, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the ARCT III Merger Agreement) with American Realty Capital Trust III, Inc. (ARCT III) and certain subsidiaries of each company.

79
Fortress Portfolio Acquisition
On July 24, 2013, ARC and another related entity, on behalf of us and certain other entities sponsored directly or indirectly by ARC, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with affiliates of funds managed by Fortress for the purchase of 196 properties owned by Fortress Investment Group LLC (Fortress), for an aggregate contract purchase price of $972.5 million, subject to adjustments set forth in the purchase and sale agreement and exclusive of closing costs, which were allocated to us based on the pro rata fair value of the properties acquired by us relative to the fair value of all 196 properties to be acquired from Fortress. Of the 196 properties, 120 properties were allocated to and assigned by us. On October 1, 2013, we closed on 41 of the 120 properties (the Fortress Portfolio) with a total purchase price of $200.3 million, exclusive of closing costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we closed the acquisition of the remaining 79 properties in the Fortress Portfolio for an aggregate contract purchase price of $400.9 million, exclusive of closing costs. The total purchase price of the Fortress Portfolio was $601.2 million, exclusive of closing costs.
Inland Portfolio Acquisition
On August 8, 2013, ARC and another related entity, on behalf of us and certain other entities sponsored directly or indirectly by ARC, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Inland for the purchase of the equity interests of 67 companies owned by Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. (Inland) for an aggregate contract purchase price of approximately $2.3 billion, subject to adjustments set forth in the purchase and sale agreement and exclusive of closing costs. Of the 67 companies, the equity interests of 10 companies were acquired (the Inland Portfolio), in total, by us from Inland for a purchase price of approximately $501.0 million, subject to adjustments set forth in the purchase and sale agreement and exclusive of closing costs, which was allocated to us based on the pro rata fair value of the Inland Portfolio relative to the fair value of all 67 companies to be acquired from Inland by us and the other entities sponsored directly or indirectly by ARC. The Inland Portfolio is comprised of 33 properties. As of March 31, 2014, we had closed on 32 of the 33 properties for a total purchase price of $288.2 million, exclusive of closing costs. The Company does not consider it probable that it will close on the remaining one property.
Cole Real Estate Investments, Inc. Merger
On October 22, 2013, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the Cole Merger Agreement) with Cole Real Estate Investments, Inc. (Cole), a Maryland corporation, and a wholly owned subsidiary of ours. The Cole Merger Agreement provided for the merger of Cole with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of ours (the Cole Merger). We consummated the Cole Merger on February 7, 2014 (the Cole Acquisition Date).
Abandoned Spin-off of Multi-Tenant Shopping Center Portfolio
On March 13, 2014, the Company announced its intention to spin off its multi-tenant shopping center business (MT Spin-off) into a publicly traded REIT, American Realty Capital Centers, Inc., which was expected to operate under the name ARCenters and to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol ARCM. The OP was expected to retain 25% ownership of ARCM. The spin-off was expected to be effectuated through a pro rata taxable special distribution of one share of ARCM common stock for every 10 shares of the Companys common stock and every 10 OP Units held by third parties in the OP. On April 4, 2014, ARCM filed a Registration Statement on Form 10 to register ARCMs common stock, par value $0.01 per share, pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act so that, upon consummation of the spin-off, shares of ARCM received by holders of the Companys common stock, or OP Units, as applicable, could freely trade their newly received ARCM common stock. ARCM was expected to be externally managed by the Company. On May 21, 2014, the Company announced that it had reassessed its plans for the multi-tenant shopping center portfolio and entered into a letter of intent to sell such portfolio to Blackstone, expecting to finalize pertinent documentation related thereto within 30 days of such date. The properties included in such sale were the same properties that would have been spun off into ARCM and, consequently, the Company abandoned its proposed spin-off at such time. On June 11, 2014, indirect subsidiaries of the Company entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale with BRE DDR Retail Holdings III LLC, an entity indirectly jointly owned by affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII L.P. and DDR Corp., pursuant to which the parties definitively documented the sale of the Companys multi-tenant shopping center portfolio. The properties to be sold pursuant to such agreement were the same properties that the Company had previously intended to spin off into an externally managed, NASDAQ traded REIT, American Realty Capital Centers, Inc. In light of the Companys entry into such agreement, it abandoned its previously contemplated spin-off.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Total Real Estate Investment Revenue
REI revenue increased $224.0 million to $266.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $42.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Our REI revenue consisted primarily of rental income from net leased commercial properties, which accounted for 92% and 96% of total REI revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Rental Income
Rental income increased $203.4 million to $244.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $41.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to our acquisition of 2,965 properties (which excludes 47 properties that are accounted for as direct financing leases) primarily through various mergers and portfolio acquisitions subsequent to March 31, 2013.
Direct Financing Lease Income
Direct financing lease income of $1.0 million was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Direct financing lease income was primarily driven by our 2013 acquisition of 47 properties comprised of $65.7 million of net investments subject to direct financing leases during the second quarter of 2013. We did not own any properties subject to direct financing leases during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Operating Expense Reimbursements
Operating expense reimbursements increased by $19.6 million to $21.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Operating expense reimbursements represent reimbursements for taxes, property maintenance and other charges contractually due from the tenant per their respective leases. Operating expense reimbursements increases were driven by our acquisition of 2,965 properties subsequent to March 31, 2013.
We also review our stabilized operating results from properties that we owned for the entirety of both the current and prior year reporting periods, referred to as same store. Cash same store rents on the 701 properties held for the full period in each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 increased $234,000, or 0.6%, to $36.7 million compared to $36.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Same store annualized average rental income per square foot was $9.58 at March 31, 2014 compared to $9.57 at March 31, 2013.
81
Acquisition Related Expenses
Acquisition related expenses increased $3.1 million to $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, acquisition costs consisted of legal costs, deed transfer costs and other costs related to real estate purchase transactions. In addition to the costs above, during the three months ended March 31, 2013, we paid acquisition fees to the Former Manager. In conjunction with the ARCT III Merger, it was agreed that the Former Manager would no longer charge acquisition fees. The increase in acquisition costs was primarily due to an increase in acquisition activity during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Merger and Other Non-routine Transaction Related Expenses
Costs related to various mergers, as well as other non-routine transaction costs increased $36.2 million to $159.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $123.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Upon the consummation of the ARCT IV Merger, an affiliate of the Former Manager received a subordinated incentive distribution upon the attainment of certain performance hurdles. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, $78.2 million was recorded for this fee, which was settled with 6.7 million OP Units to the affiliate. In addition, merger and other non-routine transaction related expenses consisted of professional fees, printing fees, proxy services, debt assumption fees and other costs associated with entering into and completing the Cole Merger as well as expenses related to the corporate bond issuance and internalization.
The Audit Committees investigation identified certain payments made by us to the Former Manager and its affiliates that were not sufficiently documented or that otherwise warrant scrutiny. The Company is considering whether it has a right to seek recovery for any other such payments and, if so, its alternatives for seeking recovery. No asset has been recognized in the financial statements related to any potential recovery. See Note 20 Related Party Transactions and Arrangements (As Restated) for further discussion.
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses increased $27.3 million to $29.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to increased property taxes, utilities, repairs and maintenance and insurance expenses relating to the acquisition of 2,965 rental income-producing properties subsequent to March 31, 2013. In addition, the increase was due to the ownership of more properties during the three months ended March 31, 2014 than in the three months ended March 31, 2013, for which we initially pay certain operating expenses and are reimbursed by the tenant in accordance with the respective lease agreements. The primary property operating expense items are property taxes and repairs and maintenance.
Management fees to affiliates
Management fees to affiliates increased $1.4 million to $13.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Prior to the consummation of the ARCT III and ARCT IV Mergers, we incurred certain fees to our Former Manager related to asset and property management. See Note 20 Related Party Transactions for further discussion of the fees.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $27.9 million to $35.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. General and administrative expenses primarily included the REI segments share of employee compensation and benefits, including legal, accounting and professional fees, state and franchise and state income taxes and escrow and trustee fees. Also, included in general and administrative expenses is equity-based compensation expense, which increased $18.2 million to $21.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to equity-based compensation expenses related to the New OPP, which was entered into upon the Companys transition to self-management on January 8, 2014, as well as an increase in the amortization of restricted stock for the awards granted subsequent to March 31, 2013.
82
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $132.7 million to $159.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in depreciation and amortization was driven by our acquisition 2,965 properties subsequent to March 31, 2013.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense increased $114.2 million to $121.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $6.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in interest expense was due to an increase in the average debt balance of $7.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $647.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in debt was primarily due to the assumption of mortgage notes in connection with the various mergers and portfolio acquisitions and the issuance of the corporate bonds. Additionally, we recorded $28.6 million in interest expense as amortization of deferred financing costs associated with the termination of the Barclays Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The average annualized interest rate on all debt, including the effect of derivative instruments used to hedge the effects of interest rate volatility but excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and non-usage fees, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was 3.79% and 3.11%, respectively. Extinguishment of debt, Net
Extinguishment of debt was $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. There was no extinguishment of debt for the three months ended March 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company paid off $722.3 million of mortgage notes payable. In connection with the debt repayments, the Company paid prepayment fees totaling $29.0 million. The Company also wrote off the deferred financing costs and net premiums associated with these mortgages, which resulted in gain of $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which is included in Extinguishment of debt, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Other Income, Net
Other income increased $3.0 million to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Other income primarily consisted of interest income from CMBS securities of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. We did not have any equity in income of unconsolidated entities during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Loss on Derivative Instruments, Net
Loss on derivative instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $7.1 million, which primarily related to marking the Series D Preferred Stock embedded derivative to fair value. We recorded a loss on derivative instruments of $5,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 that resulted from marking our derivate instruments to fair value.
Loss on Disposition of Property, Net
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded a loss on the sale of 17 properties of $17.6 million, which includes $7.0 million of goodwill that was written off upon disposition of the respective properties. We did not sell any properties during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Gain on Sale of Investment Securities
We recorded a gain on the sale of investment securities of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which resulted from selling the preferred debt and equity securities that we held. We did not own any investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Cole Capital
Effective February 7, 2014, we consummated the Cole Merger and acquired Cole Capital. As we did not commence operations for Cole Capital until February 7, 2014, comparative financial data is not presented for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
Cole Capital Revenue
Cole Capital revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $54.3 million. Cole Capital revenue primarily consisted of dealer manager and distribution fees, selling commissions and offering reimbursements of $42.5 million, of which $34.4 million was reallowed to participating broker-dealers as discussed below and $4.0 million related to organization and offering expense reimbursements from the Managed REITs. In addition, we recorded transaction services revenue of $4.6 million, which included acquisition fees related to the acquisition of properties on behalf of certain of the Managed REITs. We also recorded management fees and reimbursements of $7.2 million, which consisted of advisory fees and asset and property management fees of $5.5 million from certain Managed REITs and other programs sponsored by us and reimbursements of $1.5 million for expenses incurred in providing advisory and asset and property management services to certain Managed REITs.
Cole Capital Reallowed Fees and Commissions
Cole Capital reallowed fees and commissions totaled $34.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. We reallowed $29.5 million, or 100%, of selling commissions earned by participating broker-dealers related to the sale of securities of the Managed REITs in offering for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $4.9 million, or 54.9%, related to the payment of all or a portion of our dealer manager fees to participating broker-dealers as a marketing and due diligence expense reimbursement, based on factors such as the volume of shares sold by such participating broker-dealers and the amount of marketing support provided by such participating broker-dealers.
Merger and Other Non-routine Transaction Related Expenses
Cole Capital incurred $0.5 million of merger expenses for the the three months ended March 31, 2014. The costs were primarily related to severance payments made to former executives of Cole.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $20.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which primarily consisted of employee compensation and benefits expense. Other general and administrative expenses included insurance, legal, accounting and professional fees and other operating costs (including rent, supplies and facility maintenance).
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which primarily consisted of amortization related to the intangible assets acquired in connection with the Cole Merger of $14.0 million. Depreciation and amortization expenses also includes depreciation and amortization related to leasehold improvements and property and equipment.
Other Income
Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $6.3 million, which primarily consisted of a benefit from income taxes recorded of $6.2 million related to our TRS. While most of the business activities of Cole Capital are conducted through the TRS, revenues and expenses recorded in the TRS for tax purposes are not the same as those included in Cole Capital in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
84
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the normal course of business, our principal demands for funds will continue to be for property acquisitions, either directly or through investment interests, for the payment of operating expenses, distributions to our investors, and for the payment of principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness. We expect to meet our future short-term operating liquidity requirements through net cash provided by our current property operations. Management expects that our properties will generate sufficient cash flow to cover all operating expenses and the payment of a monthly distribution. A significant portion of our net leases contain contractual rent escalations during the primary term of the lease. Other potential future sources of capital include proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from offerings, including an at the market equity offering program (ATM), proceeds from the sale of properties and undistributed funds from operations. With the stabilization of the investment portfolio, we expect to significantly increase the amount of cash flow generated from operating activities in future periods. Such increased cash flow will positively impact the amount of funds available for dividends.
As of March 31, 2014, we had $83.2 million of cash and cash equivalents.
Sources of Funds
Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations (As Corrected)
Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT), an industry trade group, has promulgated a measure known as funds from operations (FFO), which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under U.S. GAAP.
We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004 (the White Paper). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and impairment write-downs. These adjustments also include the Companys pro rata share of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREITs policy described above.
The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, especially if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances and/or is requested or required by lessees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that, since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of U.S. GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in U.S. GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. However, FFO and adjusted funds from operations (AFFO), as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current U.S. GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under U.S. GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP FFO and AFFO measures and the adjustments to U.S. GAAP in calculating FFO and AFFO.
85
We consider FFO and AFFO useful indicators of the performance of a REIT. Because FFO calculations exclude such factors as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs in our peer group. Accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves.
Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) that were put into effect in 2009 and other changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREITs definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses for all industries as items that are expensed under GAAP, that are typically accounted for as operating expenses. Management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. While certain companies may experience significant acquisition activity, other companies may not have significant acquisition activity and management believes that excluding costs such as merger and transaction costs and acquisition related costs from property operating results provides useful information to investors and provides information that improves the comparability of operating results with other companies who do not have significant merger or acquisition activities. AFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and AFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance if we continue to have such activities in the future.
We exclude certain income or expense items from AFFO that we consider more reflective of investing activities, other non-cash income and expense items and the income and expense effects of other activities that are not a fundamental attribute of our business plan. These items include unrealized gains and losses, which may not ultimately be realized, such as gains or losses on derivative instruments, gains and losses on investments and early extinguishment of debt. In addition, by excluding non-cash income and expense items such as amortization of above and below market leases, amortization of deferred financing costs, straight-line rent, net direct financing lease adjustments and equity-based compensation from AFFO we believe we provide useful information regarding income and expense items which have no cash impact and do not provide us liquidity or require our capital resources. By providing AFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our ongoing operating performance without the impacts of transactions that are not related to the ongoing profitability of our portfolio of properties. We also believe that AFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the REIT industry. Further, we believe AFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in activities which are excluded from our calculation. Investors are cautioned that AFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance excluding these activities, as it excludes certain costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which these costs are incurred.
In addition, we exclude certain interest expenses related to securities that are convertible to common stock as the shares are assumed to have converted to common stock in our calculation of weighted-average common shares-fully diluted.
86
In calculating AFFO, we exclude expenses, which under GAAP are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by us, and therefore such funds will not be available to distribute to investors. All paid and accrued merger and acquisition fees and certain other expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which expenses are incurred or properties are acquired and will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property and certain other expenses. Therefore, AFFO may not be an accurate indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which mergers are being consummated or properties are being acquired or certain other expenses are being incurred. AFFO that excludes such costs and expenses would only be comparable to companies that did not have such activities. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flow from operating activities. In addition, we view fair value adjustments as items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized. We view both gains and losses from fair value adjustments as items which are not reflective of ongoing operations and are therefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance. Excluding income and expense items detailed above from our calculation of AFFO provides information consistent with managements analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe AFFO provides useful supplemental information.
As a result, we believe that the use of FFO and AFFO, together with the required U.S. GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our peers and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities.
FFO and AFFO are non-GAAP financial measures and do not represent net income as defined by U.S. GAAP. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operations as defined by U.S. GAAP, are not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and liquidity, including our ability to pay distributions and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our operating performance. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition (as we do) or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do and/or calculate AFFO differently than we do. Consequently, our presentation of FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs.
As discussed in the Explanatory Note to this Form 10-Q/A, the investigation conducted by the Audit Committee concluded that the Company erroneously calculated AFFO and/or AFFO per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 due to errors in reflecting non-controlling interests. We are now presenting the restated FFO and AFFO using two methods: 1) we calculate FFO and AFFO on a gross basis, whereby we start with net income attributable to both the stockholders and the non-controlling interest holders, and then adjust net income by the gross reported amounts of the items being adjusted (Gross Method); and 2) we calculate FFO and AFFO on a net basis, whereby we start with net income attributable only to the stockholders, and adjust net income by only the stockholders portion of the applicable items (Net Method). For presentation of the Net Method, the company has included the gross amounts of each adjustment on their respective line items and adjusted for the proportionate share which is attributable to non-controlling interest on a separate line item within FFO and AFFO.
The calculation of AFFO per share follows the same logic. Under the Gross Method, AFFO is divided by a share number that takes into account the dilutive effect of units held by the non-controlling interest holders; under the Net Method, AFFO is divided by a share number that reflects only the dilutive effects of common shares. While the two methods generally result in the same per share value, the treatment of certain dilutive securities may result in different per share values under the respective methods.
87
The tables below reflect the two methods of calculating FFO and AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands except share and per share data).

Capital Markets
On August 1, 2012, we filed a $500 million universal shelf registration statement and a resale registration statement with the SEC. Each registration statement became effective on August 17, 2012. As of March 31, 2014, we had issued 2.1 million shares of common stock through a registered follow-on offering and the ATM under the $500 million universal shelf registration statement. No preferred stock, debt or equity-linked security had been issued under the universal shelf registration statement. The resale registration statement, as amended, registers the resale of up to 1,882,248 shares of common stock issued in connection with any future conversion of certain currently outstanding restricted shares, convertible preferred stock or limited partnership interests in the OP. As of March 31, 2014, no common stock had been issued under the resale registration statement.
On March 14, 2013, we filed a universal automatic shelf registration statement and achieved well-known seasoned issuer (WKSI) status. As a result of the delayed filing of certain of our periodic reports with the SEC, we are not currently eligible to use a shelf registration statement for the offer and sale of our securities.
In January 2013, we commenced an ATM in which we may from time to time offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering proceeds of up to $60.0 million. The shares will be issued pursuant to our $500 million universal shelf registration statement.
In addition to our common stock offerings, on June 7, 2013, we issued 28.4 million shares convertible preferred stock (the Series C Shares) for gross proceeds of $445.0 million. On November 12, 2013, we converted all outstanding Series C Shares into our common stock. Pursuant to the Series C Shares Articles Supplementary, the number of shares of common stock that could be issued upon conversion of Series C Shares was limited to an exchange cap. Therefore, we converted 1.1 million Series C Shares into 1.4 million shares of our common stock. With respect to the 27.3 million Series C Shares for which we could not issue shares of our common stock upon conversion due to the exchange cap, we paid holders of Series C Shares an aggregate cash amount equal to approximately $441.4 million in exchange for such Series C Shares. Based on our share price on the conversion date, the total settlement value was $458.8 million.
On September 15, 2013, we entered into definitive purchase agreements pursuant to which we agreed to issue Series D Preferred Stock (Series D Preferred), par value $0.01 per share, and common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to certain institutional holders promptly following the close of our merger with CapLease. Pursuant to the definitive purchase agreements, we issued approximately 21.7 million shares of Series D Preferred and 15.1 million shares of common stock, for gross proceeds of $288.0 million and $186.0 million, respectively, on November 12, 2013.
Upon consummation of the ARCT IV merger on January 3, 2014, 42.2 million shares of Series F Preferred Stock were issued to ARCT IV stockholders. As of March 31, 2014, there were 42,654,919 shares issued and outstanding of Series F Preferred Stock. See Note 18 Preferred and Common Stock to our consolidated financial statements in this 10-Q/A for a description of the Series D Preferred and Series F Preferred Stock.
Availability of Funds from Credit Facilities
We and our OP are parties to a credit facility with Wells Fargo, National Association, as administrative agent and other lenders party thereto (the Credit Facility).
On March 31, 2014, the Company entered into an augmenting lender supplemental to the Credit Facility to raise the commitments under our Credit Facility to $3.0 billion. At March 31, 2014, the Credit Facility contained a $940.0 million term loan facility and a $2.0 billion revolving credit facility, of which $940.0 million and $1.3 billion were outstanding, respectively. In February 2014, the Credit Facility was amended and certain modifications were made to the terms of the agreement. Loans under the Credit Facility are priced at the applicable rate, at the Companys election, either a floating interest rate based on one month LIBOR, determined on a daily basis, plus 2.25% to 3.00%, or a prime-based interest rate, based upon the Companys current leverage. To the extent that the Company receives an investment grade credit rating as determined by a major credit rating agency, at the Companys election, advances under the revolving credit facility will be priced at their applicable rate plus 0.90% to 1.75% and term loans will be priced at a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.15% to 2.00%, based upon the Companys then current investment grade credit rating. The Company may also make fixed rate borrowings under the Credit Facility. At March 31, 2014, the Company had undrawn commitments of $684.2 million under the Credit Facility.
92
The Credit Facility provides for monthly interest payments. In the event of a default, each lender has the right to terminate its obligations under the Credit Facility and to accelerate the payment on any unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans. We have guaranteed the obligations under the Credit Facility. The revolving credit facility will terminate on February 14, 2017 and the term loan facility will terminate on February 14, 2018, in each case, unless extended in accordance with the terms of the credit facility. At any time, upon timely notice by us, we may prepay borrowings under the credit facility. We incur an unused fee of 0.15% to 0.25% per annum on the unused amount of the revolving credit commitments, based on our usage of the revolving credit facility, which unused fee will decrease 0.12% to 0.35% per annum, based upon our then current investment grade credit rating, to the extent we have elected for the interest rate margin applicable to the outstanding advances under the credit facility to be governed by our credit rating as set forth above. To the extent that any delayed draw commitments remain undrawn, we will incur an unused fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused amount of such commitments. The Credit Facility also required us to maintain certain property available for collateral as a condition to funding, but this requirement was eliminated pursuant to an amendment effective February 7, 2014.
Significant events that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2014 are detailed within the Amended 10-K. Please refer to Note 24 Subsequent Events (As Restated) in the Amended 10-K.
Principal Use of Funds
Acquisitions
Cash needs for property acquisitions will generally be met through proceeds from the public or private offerings of debt and equity and other financings. We may also from time to time enter into other agreements with third parties whereby third parties will make equity investments in specific properties or groups of properties that we acquire.
We evaluate potential acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related assets and engage in negotiations with sellers and borrowers. Investors and stockholders should be aware that after a purchase contract is executed that contains specific terms the property will not be purchased until the successful completion of due diligence and negotiation of final binding agreements. During this period, we may decide to temporarily invest any unused proceeds from equity offerings in certain investments that could yield lower returns than the properties. These lower returns may affect our ability to make distributions.
We financed the aggregate purchase prices of the recent mergers and acquisitions discussed in Note 3 Mergers and Acquisitions (As Restated) to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q/A in part through the assumption of outstanding indebtedness, and through a combination of available cash on hand from (a) a portion of the $896.0 million in net proceeds from the sale of shares of ARCP common stock and convertible preferred stock in separate previously disclosed private placement transactions, which transactions were completed on June 7, 2013; (b) a portion of the $967.8 million in net proceeds from the sale of the Notes; (c) funds available from the issuance of common stock through our current ATM or any successor program thereto; (d) a portion of the $2.5 billion in net proceeds from the corporate bond offering; and (e) financing available under our credit facility and additional alternative financing arrangements, as needed, from the issuance of additional common stock, preferred securities or other debt, equity or equity-linked financings.
Dividends
The amount of dividends payable to our stockholders is determined by our board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for dividends, financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, as applicable, and annual dividend requirements needed to qualify and maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. Operating cash flows are expected to increase as additional properties are acquired in our investment portfolio.
We and our board of directors share a similar philosophy with respect to paying our dividends. The dividends should principally be derived from cash flows generated from operations. Effective January 8, 2014, we completed our transition to self-management and therefore are now focused on generating cash flows by expanding our real estate portfolio consistent with our investment strategy, while keeping the internal costs of running our business low. Prior to January 8, 2014, when we had retained our Former Manager to manage our portfolio and provide other services, our Former Manager had waived certain fees in order to improve our cash flow, lowering our external costs. See Note 20 Related Party Transactions and Arrangements (As Restated) to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q/A for a further discussion of our relationship with our Former Manager.
The management agreement with our Former Manager provided for payment of the asset management fee. Our Former Manager would waive such portion of its management fee that, when added to our AFFO, without regard to the waiver of the management fee, would have increased our AFFO so that it equals the dividends declared by us for the prior six months. For
93
purposes of this determination, AFFO is FFO (as defined by NAREIT), adjusted to (i) include acquisition fees and related expenses which is deducted in computing FFO; (ii) include non-cash restricted stock grant amortization, if any, which is deducted in computing FFO; and (iii) include impairments of real estate related investments, if any (including properties, loans receivable and equity and debt investments) which are deducted in computing FFO. Our Former Manager determined if such fees were partially or fully waived in subsequent periods on a quarter-to-quarter basis. In connection with the consummation of the ARCT III Merger, we entered into an amended management agreement with our Former Manager by which the AFFO hurdle for the calculation of our asset management fee was eliminated and our management was paid an asset management fee in the amount of 0.50% of the average unadjusted book value of our real estate assets for up to $3.0 billion and 0.40% of the average unadjusted book value of our real assets greater than $3.0 billion. On January 8, 2014, the management agreement was terminated as a result of our transition to self-management. See Note 20 Related Party Transactions and Arrangements (As Restated) to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q/A for further discussion.
As our real estate portfolio matures, we expect cash flows from operations to fully cover our dividends.
The following table shows the sources for the payment of dividends to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (dollar amounts in thousands):

(1) | Dividends paid from cash provided by operations are derived from cash flows from operations (U.S. GAAP basis) for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Cash flows provided by operations include $13.4 million of acquisition related expenses and $160.3 million of merger and other non-routine transaction related expenses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014. If we had not incurred such acquisition and merger related costs, our cash flows from operations would have sourced all dividend payments during the year ended March 31, 2014. |
Significant events that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2014 are detailed within the Amended 10-K. Please refer to Note 24 Subsequent Events (As Restated) in the Amended 10-K.
Loan Obligations
At March 31, 2014, our leverage ratio (net debt, excluding debt convertible to common stock, divided by enterprise value) was 48.7%.
The payment terms of our loan obligations vary. In general, only interest amounts are payable monthly with all unpaid principal and interest due at maturity. Some of our loan agreements stipulate that we comply with specific reporting and financial covenants mainly related to debt coverage ratios and loan to value ratios. Each loan that has these requirements has specific ratio thresholds that must be met. As of March 31, 2014 we were in compliance with the debt covenants under our loan agreements.
As of March 31, 2014, we had non-recourse mortgage indebtedness of $4.1 billion, which was collateralized by 697 properties. Our mortgage indebtedness bore interest at the weighted average rate of 4.83% per annum and had a weighted average maturity of 6.23 years. We may in the future incur additional mortgage debt on the properties we currently own or use long-term non-recourse financing to acquire additional properties in the future.
94
As of March 31, 2014, there was $2.3 billion outstanding on the Credit Facility, of which $1.3 billion bore a floating interest rate of 3.15%. $940.0 million of the Credit Facilitys floating base interest rate is fixed through the use of derivative instruments used to hedge interest rate volatility. Including the spread, which can vary based on our leverage, interest on this portion was 2.54% at March 31, 2014. At March 31, 2014, there was up to $684.2 million available to us for future borrowings, subject to borrowing availability.
Our loan obligations require the maintenance of financial covenants, as well as restrictions on corporate guarantees, the maintenance of certain financial ratios (such as specified debt to equity and debt service coverage ratios), as well as the maintenance of a minimum net worth. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the debt covenants under all of our loan obligations.
Significant events that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2014 are detailed within the Amended 10-K. Please refer to Note 24 Subsequent Events (As Restated) in the Amended 10-K.
Convertible Senior Notes Offering
On July 29, 2013, we issued $300.0 million of 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2018 (the 2018 Notes) in an underwritten public offering. The 2018 Notes will mature on August 1, 2018. The 2018 Notes may be converted into cash, common stock or a combination thereof in limited circumstances prior to February 1, 2018 and may be converted at any time into such consideration on or after February 1, 2018. $10.0 million of the $30.0 million over-allotment option available for such offering was exercised. We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering (a) to repay outstanding indebtedness under its existing senior secured revolving credit facility (which will increase the availability of funds under such credit facility) and (b) for other general corporate purposes which includes investing in properties in accordance with its investment objectives.
On December 10, 2013, we issued $402.5 million of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2020 (the 2020 Notes). The 2020 Notes mature on December 15, 2020. The fair value of the 2020 Notes was determined at issuance to be $389.7 million, resulting in a debt discount of $12.8 million with an offset recorded to additional paid-in capital representing the equity component of the notes for the conversion options. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the expected life of the 2020 Notes. As of March 31, 2014, the carrying value of the 2020 Notes was $390.2 million. The holders may elect to convert the 2020 Notes into cash, common stock of the Company or a combination thereof, at our option, in limited circumstances prior to June 15, 2020 and may convert the 2020 Notes at any time into such consideration on or after June 15, 2020. The initial conversion rate is 66.0262 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes.
In connection with the 2018 Notes and 2020 Notes, the remaining unamortized discount totaled $26.3 million.
Significant events that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2014 are detailed within the Amended 10-K. Please refer to Note 24 Subsequent Events (As Restated) in the Amended 10-K.
Bond Offering
On February 6, 2014, the OP issued, in a private offering, $2.55 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes consisting of $1.3 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.00% senior notes due 2017 (the 2017 Notes), $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.00% senior notes due 2019 (the 2019 Notes) and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.60% senior notes due 2024 (the 2024 Notes, and, together with the 2017 Notes and 2019 Notes, the Notes). The Notes are guaranteed by the Company. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds to partially fund the cash consideration, fees and expenses relating to Cole Merger and repayment of Coles credit facility. The Company used the remaining portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repay $900.0 million outstanding under the OPs senior credit facility and for other general corporate purposes.

Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 (As Restated)
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was $122.8 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by acquisition and transaction costs, the timing of interest payments, as well as the receipt of scheduled rent payments. Cash flows used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was mainly due to adjusted net income of $28.4 million (net loss of $305.8 million adjusted for non-cash items including depreciation and amortization, gain on sale of properties, equity-based compensation, gain on derivative instruments and unrealized loss on investments totaling $334.3 million, in the aggregate), a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $73.4 million, an increase in prepaid and other assets of $3.3 million, a decrease in deferred rent, derivative and other liabilities of $36.6 million as well as the investment in direct financing leases of $0.4 million.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $1.2 billion, primarily related to the cash considerations of $683.2 million for the ARCT IV Merger and Cole Merger and acquisition of 215 properties for total cash considerations of $634.5 million. The net cash used in investing activities was partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of properties of $60.8 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.3 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2014 related to proceeds from the issuance of corporate bonds of $2.5 billion and proceeds from mortgage notes payable of $669.3 million. These inflows were partially offset by repayments net of borrowings from our credit facilities of $863.0 million, payments on mortgage notes payable of $739.7 million, total distributions paid of $201.6 million and $66.8 million of deferred financing cost payments.
Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 (As Restated)
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, net cash used in operating activities was $11.2 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by acquisition and transaction costs, the timing of interest payments, as well as the receipt of scheduled rent payments. Cash flows used in operating activities for three months ended March 31, 2013 included $5.6 million in acquisition related costs. Cash flows used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was mainly due to an adjusted net loss of $6.6 million (net loss of $145.9 million adjusted for non-cash items, including the issuance of operating partnership units, depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs, share based compensation, loss on held for sale properties, loss on derivative instruments and gain on sale on investments of $139.3 million, in the aggregate), a decrease in prepaid and other assets of $4.7 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2.0 million. Theses outflows were partially offset by a decrease in deferred rent, derivative and other liabilities of $1.0 million.
96
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $438.4 million, primarily related to the acquisition of 112 properties with an aggregate purchase price of $411.6 million, and the purchase of investment securities of $63.3 million, partially offset by the proceeds from the sales of investment securities.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $1.3 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2013 related to proceeds net of offering-related costs from the issuance of common stock of $1.2 billion, proceeds net of repayments from our credit facilities of $515.4 million and $0.8 million from contributions from our affiliate. These inflows were partially offset by common stock repurchases of $350.5 million, $25.5 million deferred financing cost payments, distributions paid of $40.6 million, and distributions to non-controlling interest holders of $0.9 million.
Election as a REIT
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011. If we continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent we distribute our REIT taxable income to our stockholders, and so long as we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain. REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income. We believe we are organized and operating in such a manner as to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for the taxable year ending December 31, 2014.
Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies (As Restated)
Our accounting policies have been established to conform to GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to the various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
Except as set forth below, a complete description of such policies and our considerations is contained in the Amended10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Cole Capital revenue recognition was not considered a critical accounting policies for the year ended December 31, 2013 because such transactions had not occurred at the time. The information included in this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, and related notes thereto.
Revenue Recognition - Cole Capital
Revenue consists of securities sales commissions and dealer manager fees, real estate acquisition fees, property management fees, advisory fees, asset management fees and performance fees for services relating to the Managed REITs offerings and the investment and management of their respective assets, in accordance with the respective advisory and dealer manager agreements. The Company records revenue related to acquisition fees, securities sales commissions and dealer manager fees upon completion of a transaction and advisory, asset and property management fees as services are performed. The Company is also reimbursed for certain costs incurred in providing these services. Securities sales commission and dealer manager reimbursements are recorded as revenue as the expenses are incurred. Other reimbursements are recorded as revenue when reimbursements are reasonably assured.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently issued accounting pronouncements are described in Note 4 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (As Restated) to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A.
97
Inflation
We may be adversely impacted by inflation on any leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions. In addition, our net leases may require the tenant to pay its allocable share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This may reduce our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Related Party Transactions and Agreements (As Restated)
We have entered into agreements with affiliates, whereby we pay or have paid in the past certain fees or reimbursements to ARC, the Former Manager or their respective affiliates for acquisition fees and expenses, organization and offering costs, asset management fees and reimbursement of operating costs and have in the past paid sales commissions and dealer manager fees. See Note 20 Related Party Transactions and Arrangements (As Restated) to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees. In August 2013, our board of directors determined that it is in the best interests of us and our stockholders to become self-managed, and we completed our transition to self-management on January 8, 2014.
We are contractually responsible for managing the Managed REITs affairs on a day-to-day basis, identifying and making acquisitions and investments on the Managed REITs behalf, and recommending to each of the Managed REITs respective board of directors an approach for providing investors with liquidity. In addition, we distribute the shares of common stock for certain of the Managed REITs and advise them regarding offerings, manage relationships with participating broker-dealers and financial advisors, and provide assistance in connection with compliance matters relating to the offerings. We receive compensation and reimbursement for services relating to the Managed REITs offerings and the investment, management and disposition of their respective assets, as applicable. See Note 20 Related Party Transactions and Arrangements (As Restated) to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for a further explanation of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk relating to variable-rate borrowings. To meet our short and long-term liquidity requirements, we borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes in earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We would not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. We do not have any foreign operations and thus we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.
As of March 31, 2014, our debt included fixed-rate debt, including debt that has interest rates that are fixed with the use of derivative instruments, with a carrying and fair value of $8.7 billion. Changes in market interest rates on our fixed rate debt impact fair value of the debt, but they have no impact on interest incurred or cash flow. For instance, if interest rates rise 100 basis points and our fixed rate debt balance remains constant, we expect the fair value of our debt to decrease, the same way the price of a bond declines as interest rates rise. The sensitivity analysis related to our fixed-rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their March 31, 2014 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of our fixed rate debt by approximately $243.9 million. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in an increase in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by $251.6 million.
98
As of March 31, 2014, our debt included variable-rate debt with an aggregate face value and a carrying value of $1.6 billion. The sensitivity analysis related to our variable-rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their March 31, 2014 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in variable interest rates on our variable-rate notes payable would increase or decrease our interest expense by approximately $16.1 million annually.
As the information presented above includes only those exposures that existed as of March 31, 2014, it does not consider exposures or positions arising after that date. The information represented herein has limited predictive value. Future actual realized gains or losses with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on cumulative exposures, hedging strategies employed and the magnitude of the fluctuations.
These amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rate changes on our borrowing costs, and, assume no other changes in our capital structure.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. (As Restated) |
The Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on May 8, 2014 disclosed that, in accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), the Companys former management, under the supervision and with the participation of its former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer, had carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) and, based on that evaluation, had concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective at March 31, 2014. In light of the findings of the Audit Committee investigation and a review made by the Company in connection with the preparation of the restatement presented in this Form 10-Q/A, current management, under the supervision of our current Interim Chief Executive Officer and our current Chief Financial Officer, re-evaluated the Companys disclosure controls and procedures and, based on that evaluation, concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at March 31, 2014.
The Companys current management based its conclusion on the following: The controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting that had existed at December 31, 2013, as disclosed in the Amended 10-K, had not been remediated at March 31, 2014. Moreover, current management identified additional weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting at March 31, 2014. The material weaknesses and remedial steps being taken by the Company are discussed below.
Material Weaknesses in Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As disclosed in the Amended 10-K, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not properly designed or implemented to ensure that the information contained in the Companys periodic reports and other SEC filings correctly reflected the information contained in the Companys accounting records and other supporting information and, in the case of AFFO per share (a non-GAAP measure that is an important industry metric), was correctly calculated. In addition, the Company did not have appropriate controls to ensure that its SEC filings were reviewed on a timely basis by senior management or that significant changes to amounts or other disclosures contained in a document that had previously been reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee were brought to the attention of the Audit Committee or its Chair for review and approval before the document was filed with the SEC. Finally, the Company did not have appropriate controls over the formulation of AFFO per share guidance or the periodic re-assessment of the Companys ability to meet its guidance.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In its Amended 10-K, the Company disclosed that, during 2013, due in part to a number of large portfolio acquisitions, the Company experienced significant growth and increases in the complexity of its financial reporting and number of non-routine transactions. In late 2013 and early in the first quarter 2014, as a result of the anticipation and then completion of the
99
Companys transition to self-management and acquisitions of ARCT IV and Cole Capital, the complexity of the Companys transactions and the need for accounting judgments and estimates became more prevalent and had a severe impact on the Companys control environment.
Control Environment - The Company failed to implement and maintain an effective internal control environment that had appropriate processes to manage the changes in business conditions resulting from the volume and complexity of its 2013 and first quarter 2014 transactions, combined with the pressure of market expectations inherent in announcing AFFO per share guidance for 2014.
The control environment, as part of the internal control framework, sets the tone of an organization, influencing the control consciousness of its people and providing discipline and structure. Among the deficiencies in the control environment were failures to:
| Emphasize the importance of adherence to the Companys Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; |
| Establish appropriate policies and procedures surrounding the accounting treatment and classification of merger-related expenses, goodwill, impairments and purchase accounting; |
| Establish controls designed to prevent changes to the financial statements and supporting financial information by senior management without the proper levels of review, support and approval; and |
| Establish controls designed to ensure that accounting employees would not be subject to pressure to make inappropriate decisions affecting the financial statements and/or the financial statement components of the calculation of AFFO, and that accounting concerns raised by employees would be timely and appropriately addressed by senior management. |
Related Party Transactions and Conflicts of Interest - As disclosed in the Amended 10-K, the Company did not maintain the appropriate controls to assess, authorize and monitor related party transactions, validate the appropriateness of such transactions or, manage the risks arising from contractual relationships with affiliates. Without the appropriate controls, the Company made certain payments to the Former Manager and its affiliates that were not sufficiently documented or that otherwise warrant scrutiny.
Equity-Based Compensation - As disclosed in the Amended 10-K, the Company did not maintain appropriate controls over various grants of equity-based compensation. In the fourth quarter of 2013, in anticipation of the Companys transition to self-management, the Company entered into employment agreements with the Companys former Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its former Chief Financial Officer (which took effect on January 8, 2014), and also approved the 2014 Multi-Year Outperformance Plan pursuant to which awards were made to them on January 8, 2014. Without the appropriate controls, these documents contained terms that were inconsistent with the terms authorized by the Compensation Committee. Additionally, the Company did not obtain copies of or administer the equity awards made by means of block grants allocated by the Former Manager and its affiliates, nor did it review the awards for consistency with the Compensation Committees authorization.
Aggregation of Significant Deficiencies Within Business Process - Level Control Activities and Financial Reporting Controls - The following significant deficiencies together constitute a material weakness:
| Accounting Close Process - As disclosed in the Amended 10-K, the Company did not have consistent policies and procedures throughout its offices relating to purchase accounting, accounting for gain or loss on disposition and testing for impairment. In addition, senior management did not establish clear reporting lines and job responsibilities, or promote accountability over business process control activities. |
| Critical Accounting Estimates and Non-Routine Transactions - As disclosed in the Amended 10-K, the Company did not maintain effective controls or develop standardized policies and procedures for critical accounting estimates and non-routine transactions, including management review and approval of the accounting treatment of all critical and significant estimates on a periodic basis. |
100
Cash Reconciliations and Monitoring - The Company did not implement appropriate controls to record payments received and to reconcile its cash receipts and bank accounts on a timely basis.
Information Technology General Controls - Access, Authentication and Information Technology Environment - The Company did not maintain effective information technology environmental and governance controls, including controls over information systems security administration and management functions in the following areas: (a) granting and revoking user access rights; (b) timely notification of user departures; (c) periodic review of appropriateness of access rights; (d) physical access restrictions; and (e) segregation of duties.
Information Technology General Controls Over Management of Third Party Service Providers - When the transition services agreement between the Company and the Former Manager was terminated on January 8, 2014, the Company did not enter into a follow-on formal agreement with the affiliate of the Former Manager that managed technology infrastructure and systems significant to the Companys financial reporting process. Without a formal agreement governing the delivery of services, the Companys management cannot make any assertions about the operating effectiveness of the third party service providers controls over information systems, programs, data and processes financially significant to the Company or the security of the Companys data under the control of the related third party service provider.
Remediation
As discussed below, the Company is actively engaged in improving its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. The Companys new senior management will report on a quarterly basis to the Audit Committee and, where applicable, to the other Committees of the Board of Directors as to the progress made in remediating the material weaknesses identified above.
Control Environment - During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company underwent a change in senior leadership as a result of the resignations of the Companys Executive Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and director, President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer. The Audit Committee, the Board of Directors and new senior leadership are committed to establishing a culture of compliance, integrity and transparency and have begun communicating their commitment and expectations to all employees of Company. This commitment will also be an important consideration in the Board of Directors selection of a new independent Chairman of the Board of Directors and a permanent Chief Executive Officer pursuant to its previously-announced search process.
The Board of Directors, with the assistance of outside counsel, has commenced a comprehensive review of its key practices and procedures. This review will include, among other things, the nature, transparency and timeliness of information provided to the Board of Directors by management, the agenda-setting process, the process by which the Board of Directors oversees the Companys risk management functions and the roles and responsibilities, charters, key practices and procedures of the committees of the Board of Directors. As an outgrowth of this review, the Board of Directors has adopted a new related person transactions policy and assigned the administration of this policy to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Under the Audit Committees oversight, management has commenced a comprehensive review of corporate compliance policies and programs and is initiating periodic Company-wide training on ethics, reporting procedures and other key topics as well as a review of the Companys whistleblower hotline policies and procedures.
The Company is also in the process of strengthening its controls in a number of areas highlighted by the Audit Committee investigation, as follows:
| Adding additional layers of review of the Companys significant accounting policies and estimates, including the bonus accrual process; |
| Improving the controls around decisions on whether or not to reflect certain accounting adjustments in the Companys books and records and/or to report such adjustments within financial statements, by revising its policies, implementing additional review and training all accounting personnel on the revised policies; |
101
| Adopting new accounting policies that incorporate technical accounting guidance as to when expenses may be appropriately classified as merger-related expenses, and conducting training on the implementation of this policy with relevant members of its accounting staff; and |
| Adopting new practices surrounding the calculation and presentation of AFFO and the formulation and review of AFFO guidance. |
Financial Reporting Disclosure Controls - Under the oversight of the Audit Committee, the Company is in the process of creating a chartered Disclosure Committee to be comprised of senior attorneys, accounting personnel and executives and heads of other pertinent firm-wide disciplines. The Chair of the Disclosure Committee will have ongoing dialogue with the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors on how the Disclosure Committee is fulfilling its mandate to ensure the timeliness, accuracy, completeness and quality of the Companys SEC filings and other public disclosures. The Disclosure Committee will be responsible for establishing and administering a process by which certain personnel in relevant functions and areas will be required to provide sub-certifications in support of the certifications that the Companys principal executive and principal financial officers are required to provide in connection with each periodic SEC report. Processes will be implemented to help plan appropriately for quarterly financial reporting as well as securities offerings.
Additionally, at the direction of the Audit Committee, the Company is enhancing and formalizing the procedures for the review and approval of annual and quarterly SEC reports (some of which were previously less formal) as follows:
| Drafts of reports will be circulated sufficiently in advance of Audit Committee meetings to permit adequate review; |
| Audit Committee meetings will be attended in person to the extent practicable and, in addition to Audit Committee members, required attendees will include the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, General Counsel, Chair of the Disclosure Committee, head of Internal Audit, independent auditors and outside legal counsel as necessary; |
| At Audit Committee meetings, in addition to required communications from the independent auditors, reports will be made by the Chief Accounting Officer and the Chair of the Disclosure Committee on significant changes from prior filings, significant judgments reflected in the report and receipt of sub-certifications; |
| At Audit Committee meetings, separate executive sessions will be held with the independent auditor, head of Internal Audit, General Counsel and others as necessary; and |
| Any changes to a draft of a periodic report that has been approved by the Audit Committee must be submitted to and reviewed and approved by the Chair of the Audit Committee prior to filing. |
Related Party Transactions and Conflicts of Interest - The resignation of the members of senior management affiliated with the Former Manager has eliminated certain conflicts of interest that existed prior to such resignations.
The Audit Committees investigation identified certain payments made by the Company to the Former Manager or its affiliates that were not sufficiently documented or otherwise require scrutiny. In November 2014, as a result of the Audit Committee investigation, the Company terminated a lease agreement with an affiliate of its Former Manager for space in a building in Newport, Rhode Island. The Company, which never occupied the building, was reimbursed for certain leasehold improvements and other costs by delivery of 916,423 OP Units valued at approximately $8.5 million, which were retired. The Company is considering whether it has a right to seek recovery for any other such payments and, it so, its alternatives for seeking recovery. No asset has been recognized in the financial statements related to any potential recovery.
The Company is working closely with outside counsel to terminate its remaining relationships with affiliates of its Former Manager, including ARC Capital, LLC (ARC) and RCS Capital Corporation, and to disentangle its internal control framework from the affiliated entities. The Company is seeking to obtain copies of all of its books and records held by ARC and to eliminate all human resource, information technology and other overlapping departmental services.
102
The Company has also enhanced the procedures for review and approval of potential related party transactions with directors, director nominees, executive officers, 5% shareholders and their immediate family members through the adoption of a new related party transactions policy administered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will annually assess the use and effectiveness of the policy.
Equity-Based Compensation - The Company has recently obtained copies from ARC of all equity awards made by means of block grants allocated by the Former Manager or its affiliates and will seek to assume administration of those awards. In addition, the Company will review these equity awards for consistency with Compensation Committee authorization.
Under the Compensation Committees oversight, the Company is implementing new governance processes for the authorization, documentation, issuance, administration and accounting for equity-based compensation. The Compensation Committee will approve each award, rather than delegating authority to management to allocate large tranches of awards. In-house counsel, accounting, tax, and human resources personnel will work together to oversee the issuance of equity compensation to directors, officers and employees. Equity compensation tracking and recordkeeping will be improved through the use of equity tracking software. All compensation matters within the Compensation Committees purview will be reviewed by the Compensation Committee Chair and in-house counsel against the Compensation Committees authorization to ensure consistency and appropriate documentation. In respect of all other employment matters, the human resources department will consult in-house counsel before making any offer of employment or any compensation adjustment that includes any equity award or otherwise raises equity compensation issues.
Accounting Close Process - The Company has begun to standardize its internal accounting close process and intends to complete the integration of its accounting and financial reporting processes among its various offices. Toward this end, the Company has documented, and intends to continue to document, its key and significant operational activities and accounting policies and procedures. In addition, the Company has designed and implemented internal controls within its accounting close process to ensure that closing activities, such as reconciliations, timely reviews, journal entry reviews and comprehensive financial analysis, are performed and reviewed. The Company intends to create a financial reporting sub-certification process and is defining key roles and responsibilities within the organizational structure. Lastly, the Company has conducted trainings, and will conduct additional trainings, for its accounting and other professionals to ensure the accounting close processes and entity level and company level controls and procedures are well defined, documented and implemented to support operational effectiveness.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Non-Routine Transactions - The Company has documented various critical accounting policies, and intends to continue to document new accounting policies and to update its existing documentation for any noted changes on a timely basis. New policies have been communicated to the relevant Company employees. The Company has also established a process under which senior management approves all critical accounting estimates and non-routine transactions on a periodic basis as part of the financial close and reporting processes.
Cash Reconciliations and Monitoring - The Company has documented treasury and accounting policies and procedures, implemented controls over the monitoring and reconciliation of cash accounts and plans to review all bank accounts associated with the Company. In addition, the Company has established roles and responsibilities to monitor and account for its various bank accounts.
Information Technology General Controls - Access, Authentication and IT Environment - The Company has implemented an access management system to govern the granting and revocation of user access rights and standardized the administration of access to financially significant systems within the information technology organization. The system maintains a database of access grants and a record of business approvals. The controls governing access to programs and data have been updated to reflect the use of the access management system. The Company has trained business approvers, managers, information technology staff, and human resources staff on the revised controls and their respective roles and responsibilities within each control. The process for managing and conducting the periodic system access reviews has been standardized across all systems. Periodic access reviews will be managed by the Information Technology department to ensure adherence to the control standard.
103
Information Technology General Controls Over Management of Third Party Service Providers - Executive management responsible for this directive is no longer with the Company. The Company is working to complete the integration of systems, offices and business processes so as to remove the dependencies on the formerly affiliated party service provider as soon as possible. The Company is also establishing a control framework to ensure all service providers have the appropriate contracts and service level agreements in place prior to initiation of any services.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting other than certain integration activities relating to the Companys acquisitions of large portfolios in 2013, ARCT IV and Cole Real Estate Investments, Inc.
