PRIOR PROGRAMS

        The following section is inserted after the "Prior Programs—Portfolio Diversification of Operating CPA® Programs" section, which begins on page 88 of our prospectus.

Consumer Price Index Increases in Leases of Operating CPA® Programs

        Over 94% of W. P. Carey's operating CPA® programs' leases have built-in increases that are fixed or tied to increases in indices such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the most widely used measure of changes in prices paid for consumer goods and services. As a result of these built-in increases, we receive increased rental payments from our tenants which may translate into increased cash flow to investors over the long term.

        CPA®:18—Global's advisor will seek to include clauses in each lease that provide for increases in rent over the term of the lease.
