On February 26, 2015, American Realty Capital Global Trust II, Inc. (the “Company”), through a wholly owned subsidiary of its operating partnership, acquired the fee simple interest in a Veolia Water Technologies office building located in Vandalia, Ohio (“Veolia”) at a contract purchase price of $7.0 million, exclusive of closing costs. The Company acquired Veolia from Harbor Investments III, LLC (the “Veolia Seller”). The Veolia Seller has no material relationship with the Company, the Company’s operating partnership, sponsor or advisor or any of their respective affiliates.

 

Veolia contains approximately 70,000 rentable square feet and is 100% leased to Veolia Water Technologies, Inc. (formerly Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies North America, Inc.), a provider of water technologies for municipal and industrial clients. The original lease has a 15-year term that commenced in December 2010 and expires in December 2025, with annual rental escalations of 1.3% in 2016 and 1.5% every year thereafter. The lease contains two 5-year renewal options. The annualized rental income for the initial lease term is approximately $0.51 million.

 

The Company funded the acquisition of Veolia with available cash on hand from the Company’s ongoing initial public offering and borrowings under the Company’s credit facility with Barclays Bank PLC.

On February 27, 2015, a wholly owned subsidiary of the operating partnership of the Company was substituted as purchaser under the Promise to Sell (the “Agreement”) dated October 15, 2014, as amended, between Foncière de Paris SIIC (the “Sagemcom Seller”) and ARC Global Holdco, LLC with respect to a Sagemcom office property located in Rueil-Malmaison, France (“Sagemcom”). The acquisition of Sagemcom was also closed on February 27, 2015 at a contract purchase price of $74.5 million (based upon an exchange rate of $1.13 to €1.00, as of the date of acquisition), exclusive of closing costs. The Sagemcom Seller does not have a material relationship with the Company, the Company’s operating partnership, sponsor or advisor or any of their respective affiliates.

 

The Company had previously agreed to be substituted as purchaser under the Agreement pursuant to a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), dated February 2, 2015, with ARC Global Holdco, LLC. In connection with the Letter Agreement, the Company paid $7.9 million to ARC Global Holdco, LLC to reimburse the deposit previously paid with respect to Sagemcom.

Sagemcom contains approximately 265,000 rentable square feet and is 100% leased to Sagemcom SAS, a French industrial and technology group. The original lease commenced in February 2012 with a 9-year term and in July 2014, was extended through January 2024, with annual rental escalations equivalent to the increase in the Tertiary Activities Rent Index (TARI) published by the French National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE). The lease contains no renewal options. The annualized rental income for the initial lease term is approximately $5.6 million (based upon an exchange rate of $1.13 to €1.00, as of the date of acquisition).
