FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


    
Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. Announces Estimated Share Value of $9.70


Phoenix, AZ, September 28, 2015 - The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. (“CCPT IV” or the “Company”), a publicly registered non-listed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on investing in high-quality, income-producing necessity retail properties, net leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term leases, today announced an estimated net asset value (“NAV”) per share of its common stock of $9.70 as of August 31, 2015.

“We are pleased with the overall performance of CCPT IV given the current market cycle,” said Thomas W. Roberts, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of CCPT IV. “We believe that CCPT IV is well-positioned based on its overall credit quality, yield characteristics and diversity, and we intend to fully maximize the value of the portfolio through our continued active management.”

The estimated NAV per share of $9.70 was determined and approved by the Company’s Board based on the recommendation of its audit committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors. The determination of the NAV per share was solely the decision of the Company’s Board. The Company engaged Duff & Phelps to calculate an estimated fair value range of CCPT IV’s real estate portfolio as of August 31, 2015. Using the NAV methodology, Duff & Phelps arrived at an estimated NAV of $9.70 per share and a fair value range of $9.22 to $10.21 per share. The valuation was based upon the estimated market value of CCPT IV’s assets, less the estimated market value of the Company’s liabilities, divided by the total shares outstanding, and was performed in accordance with the valuation guidelines established by the Investment Program Association Practice Guideline 2013-01, Valuations of Publicly Registered Non-Listed REITs. The estimated NAV does not reflect any “portfolio premium,” nor does it reflect an enterprise value for the Company. This is the first estimated NAV valuation that the Company has conducted since commencing operations in April 2012. Going forward, the Board intends to calculate an estimated NAV per share on at least an annual basis.

To date, CCPT IV has paid 41 consecutive monthly distributions to its shareholders, with a current distribution rate equal to an annualized amount of $0.625 per share, and expects to continue to pay a monthly distribution at the current rate going forward.
