Two Build-to-Suit Dollar General Stores

On April 5, 2013, the board of directors of American Realty Capital Trust V, Inc. (“the “Company”) approved the acquisition of the fee simple interest in two build-to-suit Dollar General stores located in Mission, Texas and Sullivan, Missouri, for an aggregate contract purchase price of approximately $2.2 million, exclusive of closing costs.

The Company intends to fund 100% of the acquisition of the properties with cash from its ongoing initial public offering.
