Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01 in its entirety.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On September 30, 2013, American Realty Capital Trust V, Inc. (the “Company”), through wholly owned subsidiaries of its operating partnership, completed the acquisition of 41 properties owned by subsidiaries of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress” and such subsidiaries, collectively, the “Sellers”) pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement between the Company’s sponsor, AR Capital, LLC, and the Sellers. The 41 properties represent the initial tranche of the Company’s 51-property portfolio acquisition from Fortress and certain of its affiliates. The Sellers do not have a material relationship with the Company and the acquisition was not an affiliated transaction.

The purchase price of the 41 properties was $267.7 million, exclusive of closing costs. The remaining ten properties to be acquired by the Company from Fortress and certain of its affiliates are expected to be purchased for $34.5 million. The Company funded the purchase price of the 41 properties with cash on hand from its ongoing initial public offering. The annualized rental income on a straight-line basis for the 41 properties is approximately $20.4 million.

The 41 properties contain approximately 1.0 million rentable square feet and are 100% leased to 6 tenants. As of the date of this filing, those leases have a weighted average remaining lease term of 13.2 years and the leases are primarily net, whereby the tenant is required to pay substantially all operating expenses, including costs to maintain and repair the roof and structure of the building and the cost of all capital expenditures, in addition to base rent.

The following table provides information about the portfolio relating to the tenant, number of locations, weighted average lease term remaining, rentable square feet and purchase price for each of the tenants described above.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On October 4, 2013, the Company issued a press release indicating that it has assembled, as of September 30, 2013, a $2.2 billion portfolio of net lease retail properties to date, including $855.6 million of acquired properties (including the 41 properties described in Item 2.01 above), $1.3 billion of acquisitions under executed purchase and sale agreements and $54.9 million of acquisitions subject to executed letters of intent.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
