EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This supplement amends the Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) of American Realty Capital Global Trust II, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 29, 2016 to delete Proposals 3 through 11, which solicited the approval of certain amendments to the Company’s articles of incorporation (the “Charter”).

 

The Company announced today that a special committee comprised entirely of independent directors has, along with its financial and legal advisors, been discussing and evaluating an unsolicited proposal (the “Proposal”) relating to a potential strategic transaction (the “Proposed Transaction”). These discussions have not resulted in a definitive agreement but have progressed. As a result, the Company has decided to withdraw Proposals 3 through 11 from the agenda for the annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) and the Proxy Statement. These proposals (the “Withdrawn Charter Amendment Proposals”) solicited the approval of certain amendments to the Charter. There is no assurance that these discussions will result in a definitive agreement or that any such transaction would be approved by stockholders. The Company does not intend to provide updates on the discussions or negotiations regarding the Proposal unless or until it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or required based on the then-current facts and circumstances. If an agreement is not concluded, the Company may propose the Withdrawn Charter Amendment Proposals for approval at a later meeting of its stockholders.

 

 Stockholders have the unconditional right to revoke previously-submitted proxies at any time prior to the voting thereof by (i) submitting a later-dated proxy either by telephone, via the Internet or in the mail to the Company’s proxy solicitor at the following address: Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc., 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717; or (ii) by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. No written revocation of proxies shall be effective, however, unless and until it is received at or prior to the Annual Meeting.

 

 Except as described in this supplement, the information provided in the Proxy Statement continues to apply. To the extent that information in this supplement differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement, the information in this supplement is more current. The Proxy Statement contains important additional information. This supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement.

 

 

 

 

Removal of Proposals 3 Through 11 From Stockholder Consideration

 

On June 23, 2016, the Board determined not to seek stockholder approval of Proposals 3 through 11 and has withdrawn Proposals 3 through 11 from the agenda for the Annual Meeting. All other proposals presented in the Proxy Statement remain on the agenda for the Annual Meeting.

 

The record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting has been fixed and remains as the close of business on April 18, 2016.

 

The time and location of the Annual Meeting has been fixed and remains as June 30, 2016 at The Core Club, located at 66 E. 55th Street, New York, NY 10022, commencing at 2:00 p.m. (local time).

 

As a result of the removal of Proposals 3 through 11 from stockholder consideration at the Annual Meeting, the Company notes the following important matters regarding voting:

 

  · If you already submitted a proxy card or voting instructions, you do not need to resubmit proxies or voting instructions with different directions, unless you wish to change votes previously cast on the remaining proposals or withdraw your proxy entirely.

 

  · If you do not wish to change votes previously cast on the remaining proposals, you do not need to sign new proxy cards or submit new voting instructions solely as a result of the removal of Proposals 3 through 11.

 

  · Any proxy card or voting instructions received in the future for Proposals 1 and 2 will be valid.

 

  · Proxy cards or voting instructions received with direction on Proposals 3 through 11 will not be voted on Proposals 3 through 11. Proxy cards or voting instructions received and providing direction on the remaining proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting (i.e., Proposals 1 and 2) will remain valid and will be voted on as directed.

 

  · If you wish to revoke a previously-submitted proxy, you may do so at any time prior to the Annual Meeting by (i) submitting a later-dated proxy either by telephone, via the Internet or in the mail to the Company’s proxy solicitor at the following address: Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc., 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717; or (ii) by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Written revocation of proxies will be effective only if received at or prior to the Annual Meeting.
