On November 7, 2011, American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) closed its previously announced issuance of 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $10.50 per share (before underwriting discounts and commissions) pursuant to the exercise by the underwriters in the Company’s underwritten public offering of a portion of their option to purchase additional shares of common stock. The net proceeds to the Company from the exercise of such over-allotment option were approximately $0.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions.

In the Company’s underwritten public offering, the underwriters were granted a 30-day option to purchase up to 225,000 additional shares of common stock at the initial offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters continue to have the option to purchase the balance of the additional shares, or 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, on or prior to November 28, 2011.

Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., a subsidiary of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc. (NYSE Amex: LTS) and Maxim Group LLC, acted as the representatives of the underwriters and the joint book-running managers of the offering. National Securities Corporation and Aegis Capital Corp. acted as co-managing underwriters for the offering.
