FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

American Realty Capital New York City REIT
Announces Amendment of its Self-Tender Offer for Common Stock

New York, New York, February 22, 2018 — American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc. (“NYCR” or the “Company”), a public non-traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”), announced today that it has increased the purchase price in its self-tender offer (the “Company Offer”) for shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Shares”) from $15.50 per Share to $17.03 per Share. The Company also decreased the number of Shares it is offering to purchase from 1,935,484 to 1,600,000 and extended the expiration date of the Company Offer to March 20, 2018, unless extended. The full terms and conditions of the amended Company Offer are described in the Offer to Purchase amendment, the Schedule TO amendment and the other related materials filed today by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The amended Company Offer is being made solely in response to a recent amendment to the unsolicited tender offer for Shares by Comrit Investments 1, Limited Partnership (the “Comrit Offer”), pursuant to which the purchase price was increased and the expiration date was extended. Although the amended Company Offer is superior to the Comrit Offer, the Company’s board of directors notes that the purchase price per Share in both offers is substantially lower than the Company’s current estimated net asset value per share. The Company’s board of directors continues to unanimously recommend that stockholders NOT tender their Shares pursuant to the Company Offer or the lower Comrit Offer.
