Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

On July 22, 2013, American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. (the “Company”), through its operating partnership, ARC Properties Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), entered into a fourth amendment (the “Amendment”) to its previously announced credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Company and the Operating Partnership had previously entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement which increased their ability to acquire other real estate owing entities.

 

The modifications to the Credit Agreement effected by the Amendment included, among other things,: (i) amendments to certain definitions related to the calculation of certain financial covenants, (ii) the conversion of the existing limitation on the maximum amount of recourse indebtedness permitted to be incurred by the Company to a limitation on the maximum amount of secured recourse indebtedness permitted to be incurred and (iii) the addition of certain “carve-outs” to the limitation on restricted payments included in the Credit Agreement, which carve-outs allow for the Company’s satisfaction of certain obligations relating to its outstanding Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amendment and allow for certain redemptions, conversions or settlements of convertible indebtedness of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amendment.

 

The description of the material terms of the Amendment in this Current Report on Form 8-K is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the credit agreement which was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2013 as Exhibit 10.43 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as amended and supplemented from time to time. The Company will file the Amendment as an exhibit to its next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
