On January 11, 2012, Richard J. Lehmann and Marc T. Nemer were each elected to the board of directors of Cole Real Estate Income Strategy (Daily NAV), Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).

Richard J.

When he left Citibank in 1988 he was senior corporate officer for Europe, Middle East and Africa. In 1988, he became chairman and chief executive officer of Valley National Bank of Arizona and served in that capacity until the bank was sold to Banc One Corporation in 1993. Mr. Lehmann remained with the combined company and was appointed president and chief operating officer of Banc One and as a member of its board of directors in 1995.  Following the merger of Banc One with First Chicago NBD Corporation to form Bank One Corporation in 1998, Mr. Lehmann served as vice chairman of the combined entity with responsibility for all consumer banking activities until his retirement on December 31, 1999.  Mr. Lehmann also serves on the boards of directors of Knight Transportation, Inc. and the TGen Foundation, as well as on the advisory board of the Mayo Clinic Arizona.  He previously served on the boards of eFunds Corporation, iCrossing, Inc., Moore Corporation, and the Thunderbird School of Global Management.   Prior civic activities include board participation with the Phoenix Art Museum, Ohio State University Hospital, Greater Phoenix Leadership, United Way of Greater Phoenix (campaign Chairman), and The Nature Conservancy of Arizona.  Mr. Lehmann received an MBA and B.A. from the University of Washington.

Marc T. Nemer has served as chief executive officer of our advisor, Cole Real Estate Income Strategy (Daily NAV) Advisors, LLC, since June 2011 and as its president since its formation in July 2010. He has served as the president, secretary and treasurer of Cole Capital Corporation, the dealer manager for our public offering, since January 2008. The Company has entered into agreements with its advisor and dealer manager pursuant to which the Company compensates these entities for the services provided under the respective agreements.  Mr. Nemer also serves as chief executive officer and president of Cole Holdings Corporation (d/b/a Cole Real Estate Investments), the parent company of our advisor and dealer manager, and as chief executive officer for other Cole affiliates.  Mr. Nemer also serves on the boards of directors of Cole Credit Property Trust, Inc., Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc. and Cole Corporate Income Trust, Inc.  Prior to joining Cole in February 2006, Mr. Nemer was an attorney with the international law firm Latham & Watkins LLP, where he specialized in securities offerings (public and private), corporate governance, and mergers and acquisitions from July 2000 until February 2006. Prior to that, Mr. Nemer worked at the international law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, where he worked as an attorney in a similar capacity from August 1998 until July 2000. Mr. Nemer earned a J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1998 and a B.A. from the University of Michigan in 1995.

Pursuant to a formal policy previously adopted by the Company’s board of directors, as an independent director Mr. Lehmann will receive a retainer of $50,000 per year, plus an additional $2,000 for each meeting of our board of directors or committee thereof the he attends in person and $250 for each meeting he attends by telephone.  All directors receive reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at each meeting of our board of directors. Due to Mr. Nemer’s employment with our advisor and certain of its affiliates, we will not compensate him for his services rendered as a director.
