On December 15, 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 two distribution buildings and an office headquarters located in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom (the “Property”) from Futurestate Limited (the “Seller”) at a contract purchase price of £56.2 million ($84.8 million based upon an exchange rate of £1.00 to $1.51, as of the date of acquisition), exclusive of closing costs.

The Property contains approximately 873,119 rentable square feet, and is 100% leased to William Collins Sons & Company Limited (the “Tenant”). The lease commenced in August 1990, has a 35-year term and expires in August 2025 with no extension or break lease options and is guaranteed on a joint and several basis by Harper Collins Publishers Limited (“Harper Collins”), the parent of the Tenant, and News Corp UK & Ireland Limited (formerly known as News International PLC) (together with Harper Collins, the “Guarantors”).

The Property serves as the distribution and office headquarters for Harper Collins books in the U.K. The Guarantors are subsidiaries of News Corporation Limited., one of the world’s largest media and information services companies.

None of the Seller, the Guarantors or the Tenant have a material relationship with the Company, the Advisor or the Company’s operating partnership, sponsor or any of their respective affiliates.

The Company funded the acquisition of the Property with (i) available cash on hand from the Company’s initial public offering and (ii) a mortgage loan and a mezzanine loan, in an aggregate amount of £56.6 million ($85.5 million based upon an exchange rate of £1.00 to $1.51, as of the date of acquisition), as described in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The excess funding was utilized on the payment of closing costs.

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

On December 15, 2015, in connection with the purchase of the Property, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary of its operating partnership, entered into a mortgage debt agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Lloyds Bank PLC (the “Lender”) in the aggregate amount of £28.1 million ($42.4 million based upon an exchange rate of £1.00 to $1.51, as of the date of acquisition) (the “Mortgage Loan”). The Mortgage Loan provides for quarterly interest payments with all principal outstanding due on October 15, 2019, with an option to extend until October 15, 2020. The Mortgage Loan bears an interest rate of 2.0% plus 3-month LIBOR per annum, which has been fixed to 1.35% through an interest rate swap for a total interest rate of 3.35%. The Mortgage Loan may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, with breakage costs, if applicable. In the event of a default, the Lender has the right to terminate its obligations under the Loan Agreement and to accelerate the payment on any unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. The description of the Loan Agreement in this Current Report on Form 8-K is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Loan Agreement. The Company will file the Loan Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to its next Annual Report on Form 10-K.
