Item 8.01
Other Events
On March 13, 2013, Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing a potential indirect change in control of Cole REIT Advisors IV, LLC, the Company’s advisor, and of Cole Capital Corporation, the Company’s dealer manager. On April 5, 2013, Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc. (“CCPT III”) acquired the Company’s sponsor pursuant to a transaction whereby Cole Holdings Corporation (“Cole Holdings”) merged with and into CREInvestments, LLC (“CREI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCPT III. Prior to the merger, Cole Holdings was wholly owned by Mr. Christopher H. Cole, the Company’s chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president. Cole Holdings was also an affiliate of the Company’s sponsor, the parent company and indirect owner of the Company’s advisor, and was the indirect owner of the Company’s dealer manager. As a result of the merger, the Company’s advisor and dealer manager are wholly-owned by CREI.  Also in connection with the merger, the property management services previously performed for us by Cole Realty Advisors, Inc. have been assigned to CREI Advisors, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CREI. Despite the indirect change in control of the Company’s advisor and dealer manager, and the assignment of these property management services to CREI Advisors, LLC, the Company expects that the advisory, dealer manager and property management services we receive will continue without any changes in personnel or service procedures.
