Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview
of 2014

Audit Committee Investigation and Significant Organizational Changes

Fiscal year 2014 was a year of challenge for American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. On January 3, 2014, the Company acquired American
Realty Capital Trust IV, Inc.; on January 8, 2014, the Company terminated its management agreement with ARC Properties Advisors, LLC (the Former Manager), completed its transition to self-management and closed its acquisition from
affiliates of funds managed by Fortress Investment Group LLC (Fortress) of the remaining 79 properties in the previously-announced 120-property portfolio acquisition from Fortress; on February 7, 2014, the Company acquired Cole Real
Estate Investments, Inc. (Cole); in the first half of 2014, the Company completed the previously-announced 33-property portfolio acquisition from Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc. (excluding one property it determined not to
purchase); on July 30, 2014, the Company closed the final portion of its acquisition of over 500 Red Lobster restaurants and related properties; and on October 17, 2014, the Company closed the sale of 71 properties (including 64
multi-tenant shopping centers) to a joint venture between Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII L.P. and DDR Corp. These transactions, along with other acquisitions, increased the Companys property portfolio from approximately 1,300 at
December 31, 2013 to over 4,600 properties at December 31, 2014, added a new private capital management business segment and increased the number of employees from 12 at December 31, 2013 to approximately 400 employees in multiple
locations at December 31, 2014.

In September 2014, the Audit Committee of the Companys Board of Directors (the Board of
Directors) commenced an independent investigation into certain concerns regarding accounting practices and other matters that had been reported to it (the Audit Committee Investigation). On October 29, 2014, the Company filed
a Current Report on Form 8-K reporting that the Audit Committee had concluded that the previously-issued financial statements and other financial information contained in its 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for
the first two quarters of 2014, as well as the Companys earnings releases and other financial communications for these periods, should no longer be relied upon. Information concerning the findings of the Audit Committee Investigation with
respect to certain executive compensation matters is presented below. For additional information concerning the findings of the Audit Committee Investigation, see the Explanatory Note at the beginning of any of the following reports, each filed on
March 2, 2015: Amendment No. 2 to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 or the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the fiscal period ended March 31, 2014
or June 30, 2014. The Company completed its restatement on March 2, 2015 and became current in its reporting obligations on March 30, 2015.

New Compensation Governance Framework

In connection with the resignations and new appointments of executive officers in the fourth quarter of 2014 and early 2015, the reconstituted
Compensation Committee (commencing November 20, 2014), reexamined the Companys executive and director compensation programs with the assistance of a new independent compensation advisor hired directly by the Compensation Committee and
undertook to make significant changes to the Companys compensation governance framework, with the goal of implementing a best-practices compensation policy and ensuring any deficiencies of the prior programs were remedied or eliminated. These
improvements are further described below. As part of its comprehensive review of the Companys compensation practices, the Compensation Committee also took into account that, at the Companys most recent annual meeting of stockholders held
on May 29, 2014, the say-on-pay advisory vote with respect to prior compensation policies received approval from approximately 32% of the shares voted on the matter.

##### Table of Contents

Accordingly, the Company, with direction from the reconstituted Compensation Committee, has
developed a comprehensive compensation and governance framework that is aligned with best-in-class market practice and standards. The below tables entitled What We Do and What We Do Not Do present: (i) the
best practices the Compensation Committee has adopted; and (ii) practices which the Compensation Committee has determined are not appropriate or practices adopted by the prior Compensation Committee which the reconstituted Compensation
Committee has determined should be eliminated, respectively. For an overview of the composition of the Compensation Committee from late 2013 to the present, see Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation below.

|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|ü |  | Tie pay to performance- Two-thirds of annual long-term incentive awards for executive officers is tied to our Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance 100% relative to peers. Our new annual
incentive plan will be subject to explicit performance objectives established by the Compensation Committee in collaboration with the CEO.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
|  | 
|ü |  | Engage an independent compensation consultant firm - The Compensation Committee retained its own independent advisor, Semler Brossy Consulting Group (Semler Brossy), as its new compensation consultant to provide
independent, third-party advice on executive compensation, including advice on the design of our executive compensation program for fiscal 2015. Semler Brossy does not provide any other services to the Company.                                                                                                                                                                                                          
|  | 
|ü |  | Use comparable peers to benchmark pay - The Compensation Committee, with the advice of its new independent consultant, reviewed and revised the peer group used to benchmark executive pay to ensure the
comparable companies were reasonable relative to the asset size, revenues and enterprise value of the Company.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|  | 
|ü |  | Target the median of market  Although pay levels may vary from this target for individual executives based on their individual performances, our new overall pay philosophy targets the median of competitive practices,
including the pay for our new CEO, when determining executive pay levels.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|  | 
|ü |  | Offer limited perquisites - We provide modest perquisites to our executives, including our CEO and our other NEOs.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|  | 
|ü |  | Maintain robust stock ownership requirements - We have adopted new stock ownership guidelines for executive officers at 6x base salary for CEO, 3x base salary for the CFO, 2x base salary for other NEOs and 5x annual cash
retainers for directors, which can be achieved over a specified time period.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|  | 
|ü |  | Double trigger vesting upon change of control- We intend for future equity awards to be subject to a double trigger requiring a qualified termination of employment following a change in control
before vesting is accelerated for named officers going forward, beginning with our new CEOs awards.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
|  | 
|ü |  | Provide reasonable severance benefits  Severance benefits, including following a change in control, for our new CEO have been competitively benchmarked and are reasonable compared to market. We intend to continue to
reference reasonable market practice for any future employment agreements or other arrangements.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|  | 
|ü |  | Prohibit pledging and hedging of our securities  We have adopted a policy applicable to our directors,
officers, any other individuals subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any other designated employees (and any of their respective beneficially-owned entities), which prohibits:
     pledging the
Companys securities for any purpose not approved by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee; and 
    engaging in short sales with respect to our securities, purchasing our securities on
margin or otherwise hedging our securities, including through options or derivative transactions.
|  | 
|ü |  | Prohibit repricing of stock options  We have adopted a policy prohibiting the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee from reducing the aggregate exercise, base or purchase price of any award granted under an
equity incentive plan of the Company without the approval of the Companys stockholders.

DECISION-MAKING PROCESS

Former Executives

In the fourth
quarter of 2013, the Compensation Committee, which was then composed of Leslie D. Michelson (Chair), Scott J. Bowman and Edward G. Rendell, consulted with a compensation consultant hired by Companys management, FTI Consulting, Inc.
(FTI), in designing a compensation program for Messrs. Schorsch, Block and Kay and Ms. Beeson, our former named executive officers. FTI assisted the Compensation Committee in structuring compensation for our former named executive
officers by providing comparative data from the peer group listed below related to the following compensation components: (i) base salary; (ii) annual incentive bonuses payable in cash and equity; (iii) one-time retention equity
awards (for Messrs. Schorsch and Block) or cash awards (for Mr. Kay and Ms. Beeson); and (iv) OPP awards. FTI advised the Compensation Committee that the proposed total compensation (before factoring in the OPP) was within the standards of
the Companys peer group and that the ultimate value of the OPP was wholly contingent on the extent by which the Company outperformed plan hurdles on both an absolute and relative basis in the future. The compensation program approved by the
Compensation Committee and ultimately established for our former named executive officers is further described below under 2014 Named Executive Officer Compensation DecisionsFormer Executives.

The peer group presented by FTI for assessing competitive pay practices in 2014 was comprised of the following REITs: Alexandria Real Estate
Equities, Inc.; American Tower Corporation; Boston Properties, Inc.; General Growth Properties, Inc.; HCP, Inc.; ProLogis, Inc.; Public Storage; Realty Income Corporation; Simon Property Group, Inc.; SL Green Realty Corp.; and Ventas, Inc.

Interim and Current Executives

When the Compensation Committee was restructured in November 2014, with the appointment of Mr. Andruskevich as Chairman and Mr. Frank
as a member, it replaced the Company-hired compensation consultant with Semler Brossy, an independent outside compensation consultant, which reports directly to the Compensation Committee, and made significant changes to the Companys
compensation governance practices. Semler Brossy advised the Compensation Committee on the compensation arrangements for certain of the Companys current executive officers, including that of the Companys newly-hired Chief Executive
Officer, Glenn J. Rufrano, and other senior management, the special activity compensation for certain directors paid through March 31, 2015, and the general compensation arrangements for directors that took effect on January 1, 2015. The
Compensation Committee has determined that Semler Brossy is an independent compensation advisor because it does not provide any other services to the Company, and Semler Brossy takes direction from, and reports directly to, the Compensation
Committee. The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to determine the compensation for and to terminate Semler Brossys services. The Compensation Committees determination of Semler Brossys independence is consistent with
NASDAQ listing standards. Semler Brossy also assisted the Compensation Committee with the reexamination of the Companys compensation governance framework and in recommending the new governance practices as outlined above.

##### Table of Contents

As part of its initial engagement with the Compensation Committee, Semler Brossy completed a
review of the peer group used to assess executive and director pay practices. Semler Brossy recommended a number of changes to the peer group to focus more specifically on peers in the retail, office and net-lease markets, rather than broad
diversified REITs. As a result of this review, the Compensation Committee approved the following changes to the peer group for pay decisions in late 2014 and early 2015:



| |  |  | Added Brixmor Property Group, Inc.; DDR Corporation.; Duke Realty Corporation; Kimco Realty Corporation; The Macerich Company; Vornado Realty Trust; and W.P. Carey, Inc.; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Removed Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.; American Tower Corporation; and Public Storage.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The compensation arrangement for Mr. Sodo was determined by the Compensation Committee in collaboration with Mr. Kay, who was
previously our Chief Executive Officer, and Semler Brossy. Compensation for Mr. Stanley, our Interim Chief Executive Officer, was determined by the full Board of Directors (other than Mr. Stanley) based upon the recommendation of Semler Brossy.
Semler Brossy had completed an analysis of pay practices of interim chief executive officers for the Board of Directors review.

The
compensation arrangements for Messrs. McDowell, Roberts, and Ezzell, each of whom joined the Company in connection with an acquisition and who were not executive officers at the time of their initial employment, were determined by the former
executive leadership of the Company at that time and based on employment letters or agreements provided to each executive as part of each transaction.

New Chief Executive Officer

The
compensation arrangement for Mr. Rufrano was determined by the Compensation Committee in collaboration with Semler Brossy. During the term of his employment, Mr. Rufrano will receive an annual base salary of not less than $1,000,000.
Commencing in 2016, Mr. Rufranos base salary will be reviewed at least annually to determine if his base salary should be increased in the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Consistent with the components of our new compensation governance framework described above, Mr. Rufranos annual cash bonus is
targeted at 150% of his annual base salary based upon the achievement of performance goals established by the Compensation Committee. Mr. Rufrano received a one-time equity award with a fair market value as of the date of grant of $2,000,000 on
April 1, 2015 in the form of restricted shares or restricted share units, which vests over a three-year period. In addition, Mr. Rufrano will receive an annual long-term incentive equity award with respect to shares of the Companys common
stock for each calendar year during the term of his employment (an Annual LTI Award). Mr. Rufranos initial Annual LTI Award; granted April 1, 2015, had a target fair market value as of the date of the grant of $4,000,000,
in the form of restricted shares or units and, beginning in 2016, the Annual LTI Award will be in the form of restricted shares or restricted share units and have a target fair market value as of the date of the grant of not less than $6,000,000.
Subject to Mr. Rufranos continued employment, one-third of each of the Annual LTI Awards will be subject to time-based vesting and that portion will vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date,
and two-thirds of each such award will vest based on the achievement of certain performance conditions over a three-year performance period. The performance measures for the Annual LTI Awards granted in 2015, 2016 and 2017 will be based equally on
the Companys total shareholder return relative to a specified triple net lease peer group of companies and relative to a specified NAREIT equity market index. Annual LTI Awards will include Mr. Rufranos right to receive dividend or
dividend equivalent rights with respect to the shares subject to the award, which will be subject to the same vesting conditions as the underlying shares.

2014 NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION DECISIONS

Former Executives

Below are
descriptions of the elements of the Companys compensation program for the former named executive officers, as had been adopted by the former members of the Compensation Committee after taking into consideration the analysis and recommendations
of the Companys former compensation consultant, FTI.

Base Salary

Base salaries for each of the former named executive officers were determined in light of comparative base salaries for executive officers in
similar positions at the 12 peer group companies identified above, based on FTIs survey data of such companies. The 2014 annual base salaries for such individuals were as follows:



|                     |  |                    |           |  
|-------------------- |  | ------------------ | --------- | -
|Name                 |  | Annual Base Salary |          
|Nicholas S. Schorsch |  | $                  | 1,100,000 |  
|Brian S. Block       |  | $                  | 500,000   |  
|David S. Kay         |  | $                  | 600,000   | *
|Lisa E. Beeson       |  | $                  | 450,000   | *



|* | Effective October 1, 2014, Mr. Kays base salary was increased to $854,000 and Ms. Beesons base salary was increased to $600,000 in connection with their promotions.
|- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Annual Incentive Compensation

Each of the former named executive officers was eligible for an annual incentive award payable in both equity and cash in early 2015 based on
2014 performance. In connection with their respective terminations of employment, no annual incentive cash or equity awards were actually paid to any of the former named executive officers for fiscal 2014.

In order to promote retention, the annual incentive plan emphasized equity over cash and the equity bonuses were in the form of restricted
stock that was to vest over a three-to-five year period. For each of the executives, both types of annual incentive awards were to be earned 80% based on the Compensation Committees evaluation of quantitative goals tied to the Companys
performance and 20% based on the Compensation Committees qualitative assessment of individual performance. With respect to the quantitative goals tied to the Companys performance, performance was to be weighted among several specified
components, further broken down by threshold, target and maximum levels of performance for each component. The specific goals and objectives for each executive were disclosed in the Companys definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on
April 29, 2014. In determining overall achievement, the Compensation Committee was to consider each component to determine if the executive should receive a threshold, target or maximum award for such component and then appropriately weight
such component with the other components. The threshold, target and maximum annual cash and equity bonus opportunities (as a percentage of base salary) are set forth below:



|                     |  |                      |     |   |                   |  |     |                    |  |  |                    |   |  |                 |     |   |                  |  |     |   |  |  |     |

Retention Grants

In connection with entering into their employment agreements, each of the former named executive officers received a retention or sign-on grant
of restricted stock under the Companys Equity Plan (the Equity Plan). FTI had provided the Compensation Committee with comparative data for officers at other REITS in order to appropriately design a retention award for each of the
executives. In determining the retention grants for Messrs. Schorsch and Block, FTI also took into consideration the value of the Companys management agreement with its Former Manager, which was being terminated upon the Companys
transition to self-management. Mr. Schorsch was the chief executive officer of the Former Manager and Mr. Block was the executive vice president and chief financial officer of the Former Manager. All the equity interests in AR Capital,
LLC, the parent of our Former Manager, were owned by Messrs. Schorsch and Block and the following other former officers and/or directors of the Company: William M. Kahane; Peter M. Budko; and Edward M. Weil, Jr.

##### Table of Contents

The retention grants were intended as a one-time award in light of the successful completion of
the Companys transition to self-management and also to provide meaningful time periods for the awards to vest in order to promote the continued employment of the executives. Under the terms of their respective employment agreements, the former
named executive officers were entitled to receive retention grants of restricted stock at the following values and vesting schedules:



|                     |  |  |  |                                |            |  |                  |

|Name                 |  |  |  | Value of EquityRetention Award |            |  | Vesting Schedule
|Nicholas S. Schorsch |  |  |  | $                              | 24,860,000 |  |                  | 1/9 per year for 9 years
|Brian S. Block       |  |  |  | $                              | 10,000,000 |  |                  | 1/7 per year for 7 years
|David S. Kay         |  |  |  | $                              | 3,200,000  |  |                  | 1/3 per year for 3 years
|Lisa E. Beeson       |  |  |  | $                              | 750,000    |  |                  | 1/3 per year for 3 years

However, in connection with their respective terminations of employment, the retention awards for Messrs.
Block and Kay and Ms. Beeson were wholly forfeited. Mr. Schorsch relinquished all of his equity awards and other potential compensation in exchange for the accelerated vesting of 1,000,000 restricted shares under his retention grant. These
shares are subject to clawback if Mr. Schorsch is ultimately found to have breached his fiduciary duty of loyalty to the Company or is found to have committed, or admits to committing, fraud or misconduct in connection with his responsibilities
as a director or an officer of the Company.

The Audit Committee Investigation determined that the agreements relating to the retention
awards and OPP awards made to Messrs. Schorsch and Block were more favorable to them than the Compensation Committee had authorized. Immediately prior to his resignation from the Company, Mr. Schorsch and the Company agreed that the terms of
his retention and OPP awards should have been consistent with the Compensation Committees original approval. Mr. Schorsch entered into a Reformation of Employment Agreement, a restricted share award agreement, and a Clarification of Award
Agreement under the OPP. These documents were intended to reform Mr. Schorschs Employment Agreement and equity awards, as of January 8, 2014, to be consistent with vesting provisions authorized by the Compensation Committee and to
make certain other corrections. Among other things, the reformed agreements provided that, upon a termination for Cause (as defined in his employment agreement) by the Company or a voluntary resignation by Mr. Schorsch without Good Reason (as
defined in his employment agreement), Mr. Schorschs restricted share award and award under the OPP would not accelerate and such awards would be forfeited immediately.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

The OPP was based on an Out-Performance Plan in effect for 2013 and was established in order to provide long-term, performance-based incentive
compensation to participants. Pursuant to the OPP, the former named executive officers were issued LTIP units. All LTIP units were forfeited in connection with the termination of employment of our former named executive officers and the OPP has been
terminated.

The LTIP units were to be earned based on the specified performance metrics on each of the first three anniversaries of the
grant date, with earned awards vesting in 1/3 tranches on each of the 3rd, 4th and 5th anniversaries of the grant date. The performance metrics under the OPP were based on total return to stockholders over a three-year performance period, on both an
absolute hurdle and relative to a peer group of companies as follows: (i) absolute measure: 4% of any excess total return achieved above an absolute hurdle of a simple 7% for each annual measurement period, 14% for the interim measurement
period and 21% for the full three-year performance period, and (ii) relative measure: 4% of any excess total return achieved above the median total return of the specified peer group companies. The below table provides the participation
percentage initially awarded to each former named executive officer and the total number of corresponding LTIP units:

##### Table of Contents

However, in connection with their respective terminations of employment, no LTIP units were
actually earned under this plan by any of the former named executive officers and all outstanding interests in the OPP were relinquished.

The Audit Committee Investigation determined that the Compensation Committee approved an aggregate award pool equal to approximately 5% of the
Companys market capitalization as of the date of such approval on October 3, 2013; however, as executed, the OPP measured market capitalization on a pro forma basis as of the Companys transition to self-management on January 8,
2014 (including the pro forma impact of various transactions expected to be consummated prior to the Companys transition to self-management on January 8, 2014). Thus, the maximum award opportunity under the OPP should have been $120.0
million, not $218.1 million as used to calculate the OPP awards to the former named executive officers.

Promotion Awards

Effective as of October 1, 2014, Mr. Kay was promoted to Chief Executive Officer and Ms. Beeson to President. In connection with
his promotion, the Company awarded $2,000,000 of fully vested shares of the Companys common stock to Mr. Kay. Additionally, Mr. Kay was also awarded $4,000,000 in restricted shares that were to vest in equal installments on each of
the first four anniversaries of October 1, 2014 and $2,000,000 in restricted shares that were to vest based on performance metrics to be determined by the Company in consultation with Mr. Kay. Ms. Beeson received a time-based and
performance-based award grant on the same terms as Mr. Kay, except that each of her awards was valued at $1,000,000. In connection with their respective terminations of employment, Mr. Kays promotion grant and Mr. Kays and
Ms. Beesons time-based and performance-based grants were wholly recouped or forfeited.

Severance and Change in Control
Payments

Each of the former named executive officers employment agreements provided for the payment or provision of certain
compensation and benefits upon termination of employment under various circumstances. However, the former named executive officers generally did not actually receive such benefits at the time of their respective terminations of employment, and
forfeited other compensation and benefits, as further described above. See the Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control section below.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committees policy is to consider the tax treatment of compensation paid to our executive officers while simultaneously
seeking to provide our executives with appropriate rewards for their performance. Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), a publicly-held corporation may not deduct compensation of more than
$1 million paid to any covered employee unless certain exceptions are met, primarily relating to performance-based compensation. Substantially all of the services rendered by our executive officers are performed on behalf of our
operating partnership or its subsidiaries, including one or more of our taxable REIT subsidiaries. The Internal Revenue Service has issued a series of private letter rulings which indicate that compensation paid by an operating partnership to
executive officers of a REIT that serves as its general partner is not subject to the limitation under Section 162(m) to the extent such compensation is attributable to services rendered to the operating partnership. We have not obtained a
ruling on this issue, but have no reason to believe that the same conclusion would not apply to us. To the extent that compensation paid to our executive officers is subject to and does not qualify for deduction under Section 162(m), our
Compensation Committee is prepared to exceed the limit on deductibility under Section 162(m) to the extent necessary to establish compensation programs that we believe provide appropriate incentives and reward our executives relative to their
performance. Because we qualify as a REIT under the Code and we generally distribute at least 100% of our REIT taxable income each year, we do not pay federal income tax on our REIT taxable income. However, our taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject
to federal corporate income tax. As a result, and based on the level of cash compensation paid to our executive officers, the possible loss of a federal tax deduction could have a material impact on us to the extent that such compensation is paid to
executive officers providing services to one or more of our taxable REIT subsidiaries.

Interim Executive

Mr. Stanley served in the full-time positions of Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chairman of the Board from December 15,
2014 through March 31, 2015. During this period, as approved by the Board of Directors, Mr. Stanley received $150,000 per month for his services (in lieu of any other cash compensation payable to directors) and was entitled to receive the
equity retainer to be paid to directors in respect of this period. Mr. Stanley was also eligible to be considered for additional discretionary compensation at the conclusion of his interim service, but ultimately the Board of Directors
determined not to pay any additional discretionary compensation to Mr. Stanley or any other directors.

Current Executives

Mr. Sodo was appointed Chief Financial Officer, following the departure of Mr. Block, and each of Messrs. McDowell, Roberts and
Ezzell joined the Company in 2014 through acquisitions. At the time, the Compensation Committee was consulting with FTI in designing a compensation program for its senior executive officers and it was not anticipated that any of the foregoing
individuals would become a named executive officer in 2014.

Mr. McDowells employment agreement with ARC Advisory Services, LLC
(an affiliate of the Former Manager) was assumed by the Company in connection with its transition to self-management on January 8, 2014. With respect to Messrs. Sodo, Roberts and Ezzell, their arrangements with the Company generally represent
the product of individualized negotiations between the executive and existing or former members of senior management. In the case of Mr. Sodo, although his employment agreement was ultimately negotiated, reviewed and approved by the
Compensation Committee, it was also based upon the commitments made to him by Mr. Kay. The material terms of all of these arrangements are described below. For a description of termination scenarios applicable to each of the current named
executive officers, see the Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control section below.

Annual Incentive Plan

Each of the current executives was eligible for an annual incentive plan payout for 2014 based on overall Company performance. The Compensation
Committee determined that, in light of the Audit Committees Investigation and related matters, none of the performance goals for the Company were achieved under the plan as originally established for the Company. However, due to the continued
dedication and efforts of the current executives in responding to the results of the Audit Committees Investigation and continuing to operate the business during a period of substantial duress, the Board and its Compensation Committee decided
to provide a discretionary incentive bonus to the current named executive officers, as well as other employees of the Company.

Based on
an evaluation of the performance and contribution of each of the current named executive officers, the Compensation Committee approved the discretionary bonuses for each as reported in the Summary Compensation Table below.

Michael J. Sodo

In
connection with his appointment as Chief Financial Officer, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Sodo, dated as of January 9, 2015, memorializing the terms of his employment which commenced on October 29, 2014
(the Sodo Commencement Date). The employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $450,000 and eligibility to receive an annual cash bonus and an annual grant of equity incentive awards. Mr. Sodo is entitled to receive a
cash bonus award of $275,000 on each of May 31, 2015 and May 31, 2016 (the Promotion Cash Grant), subject to his continued employment through such dates. On April 1, 2015, Mr. Sodo was granted a one-time equity award
in the form of restricted stock units with a grant date value of $650,000. Subject to his continued employment, 50% of such award will vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the Sodo Commencement Date and 50% will
vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the Sodo Commencement Date subject to the Companys common stock achieving a closing trading price of at least $10.00 per share for any 20 consecutive days prior to
December 31, 2017. Mr. Sodo also received a $100,000 signing bonus, $100,000 of fully-vested shares of common stock and $100,000 of restricted shares of common stock in August 2014, upon his initial commencement of employment with the
Company.

Paul H. McDowell

In connection with the Companys transition to self-management, the Company assumed the employment agreement of Mr. McDowell,
effective as of January 8, 2014. The agreement has an initial term of three years, effective as of November 5, 2013, upon the Companys acquisition of CapLease. The employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $495,000
and eligibility to receive an annual bonus equal to up to 100% of his base salary (which may not be less than $180,000 for each year of the initial term (the Minimum Bonus)) and an annual restricted stock grant up to 150% his base
salary. The Company also reimburses Mr. McDowell for the premiums on his life insurance policy. On April 1, 2015, Mr. McDowell was granted a long-term equity incentive award in the form of restricted stock units with a grant date
value of $300,000. Subject to Mr. McDowells continued employment, one-third of the award is subject to time-based vesting and two-thirds is subject to performance-based vesting, consistent with the award to our newly-hired CEO.

Thomas W. Roberts

Pursuant to an employment letter with the Company, dated January 16, 2014, Mr. Roberts is entitled to receive an annual base salary
of $400,000 and was eligible to receive an annual bonus of up to 100% of his base salary and an annual restricted stock grant up to 200% of his base salary. Mr. Roberts also received a retention stock award with a grant date value of $800,000
on February 10, 2014 and a cash award of $800,000 on February 7, 2014. Mr. Roberts was also entitled to an acquisition incentive bonus at 1.5 basis points on certain real estate acquisitions during the 2014 fiscal year.
Mr. Roberts and the Company are finalizing the terms of a new employment letter, under which Mr. Roberts may discontinue receiving acquisition incentive bonuses in the future in exchange for increases to his base salary, target annual
bonus and equity target.

Michael T. Ezzell

Pursuant to an employment letter with the Company, dated March 7, 2014, Mr. Ezzell is entitled to receive an annual base salary of
$350,000 and is eligible, subject to the discretion of the senior management, to receive an annual bonus and an annual restricted stock grant, each equal to an amount of up to 100% of his base salary. Mr. Ezzell also received a retention bonus
of $400,000 and a discretionary bonus of $100,000 on February 7, 2014. In March 2015, the Company and Mr. Ezzell entered into an amendment to his employment letter, setting forth certain retention awards. Pursuant to the amendment,
Mr. Ezzell received a cash bonus retention award payment of $350,000 contingent upon Mr. Ezzells continued service and was granted a long-term equity incentive award in the form of restricted stock units with a grant date value of
$600,000. Subject to Mr. Ezzells continued employment, one-third of the award is subject to time-based vesting and two-thirds is subject to performance-based vesting, consistent with the award to our newly-hired CEO.

COMPENSATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Board of
Director Compensation Prior to January 1, 2015

For service by independent directors on the Board of Directors prior to
January 1, 2015, the Company paid an annual fee of $100,000, half in cash and half in restricted stock vesting over three years from the date of grant. Additionally, the lead independent director was entitled to an additional annual retainer of
$105,000, which he was entitled to take in the form of restricted stock, vesting over three years, at his election. Each member of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee was entitled to
one $30,000 annual retainer, paid in cash or restricted stock, vesting over three years, at the election of such independent director. Upon the transition to self-management on January 8, 2014, the then independent directors were granted 40,000
shares of the Companys restricted stock vesting over a five-year period.

In respect of per meeting fees, independent directors
received $2,000 for each Board or Board committee meeting the director attended in person ($2,500 for attendance by the chairperson of the Audit Committee at each meeting of the Audit Committee) and $1,500 for each meeting the director attended by
telephone. If there was a meeting of the Board of Directors and one or more committees in a single day, the fees were limited to $2,500 per day ($3,000 for the chairperson of the Audit Committee if there was a meeting of such committee). Each of the
Companys independent directors could elect to forego receipt of all or any portion of the cash or equity compensation payable to them for service as one of our directors and direct that the Company pay such amounts to a charitable cause or
institution designated by such director. The Company also reimbursed directors for their travel expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at full Board of Directors and committee meetings and for other required meetings.

Previously, the Board of Directors approved certain transactions at electronic meetings and received $750 for each transaction reviewed and
voted upon electronically with a maximum of $2,250 for three or more transactions reviewed and voted upon per electronic meeting (including such meetings conducted via unanimous written consent).

The Company also paid each independent director for each external seminar, conference, panel, forum or other industry-related event attended
in person and in which the independent director actively participated, solely in his or her capacity as an independent director of the Company, in the following amounts:



| |  |  | $2,500 for each day of an external seminar, conference, panel, forum or other industry-related event that did not exceed four hours, or

##### Table of Contents

In either of the above cases, the Company reimbursed, to the extent not otherwise reimbursed, an
independent directors reasonable expenses associated with attendance at such external seminar, conference, panel, forum or other industry-related event. An independent director was not paid or reimbursed for attendance at a single external
seminar, conference, panel, forum or other industry-related event by us and another company for which he or she is a director.

Current Director
Compensation Effective January 1, 2015

In January 2015, the Compensation Committee completed a review of the compensation
arrangements for the Board of Directors as part of the overall review and revision of the Companys compensation practices and policies. The Compensation Committee engaged Semler Brossy to conduct a study of market practices based on the new
peer group approved for reviewing executive pay. Semler Brossy recommended a number of changes to make the compensation for directors consistent with best practices among the Companys peers and the Compensation Committee recommended these
changes to the full Board of Directors.

Effective January 1, 2015, upon consideration of and consistent with the recommendations of
the Compensation Committee and Semler Brossy, the Board of Directors approved and adopted the following retainers and fees for each independent director to replace the previously-established Board retainers and fees: a $60,000 annual cash retainer
(the Annual Cash Board Retainer); meeting fees of $2,000 per in-person meeting and $1,500 per telephonic meeting for each meeting of the Board and of an established committee of the Board (the Meeting Fees and, together with
the Annual Cash Board Retainer, the Board Cash Compensation); and a $110,000 annual equity retainer in the form of restricted stock units (the Annual Equity Board Retainer). The Board Cash Compensation for 2015 is payable to
the independent directors quarterly in arrears commencing with the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The Annual Equity Board Retainer for 2015 will be granted to each independent director on or around May 15, 2015 and will be made
in subsequent years at each regularly scheduled annual meeting of stockholders and if an independent director is elected to the Board between annual meetings of stockholders, a pro-rata Annual Equity Board Retainer will be made at such independent
directors election measured from the effective date of the election to the one-year anniversary of the previous years annual meeting of stockholders.

Additional annual leadership retainers are payable in cash as follows: the non-executive Chairman of the Board - $150,000; the Audit Committee
Chair - $20,000; the Compensation Committee Chair - $15,000; the Nominating and Corporate Governance Chair - $10,000.

The Annual Equity
Board Retainer will consist of restricted stock units, fully vested at issuance. The directors will generally agree to hold the restricted stock units for three years from the date of grant or, if they end their tenure for any reason prior thereto,
the end of their tenure. The restricted stock units will entitle the holder to dividend equivalent payments consistent with the dividends paid on the Companys common stock.

Special Activity Compensation for Directors

On January 12, 2015, the Board established compensation arrangements for independent directors who substantially increased their time
commitments and leadership responsibilities while the Company completed its restatements, became current in its reporting obligations and transitioned to a permanent Chief Executive Officer. These compensation arrangements ended on March 31,
2015.

Interim Lead Independent Director. On December 31, 2014, the Board of Directors appointed Thomas A. Andruskevich as the
Interim Lead Independent Director upon the commencement of Mr. Stanleys service in his executive role. Mr. Andruskevich committed to devote 70% of his business time to this position and to leading two initiatives: the search and
transition process for a permanent Chief Executive Officer and permanent independent Chairman of the Board; and the Boards oversight of the Companys operations. While in this role, which ended on March 31, 2015,
Mr. Andruskevich received $100,000 per month in lieu of the annual retainer of the Lead Independent Director and fees for any Board or committee meeting principally devoted to one or both initiatives described above. Mr. Andruskevich
continued to receive all other Board and committee retainers and fees.

Audit Committee Leadership. On January 12, 2015, the
Board of Directors established interim compensation arrangements for two members of the Audit Committee, Messrs. Leslie D. Michelson and Bruce D. Frank, in recognition of their respective roles and effort in overseeing the Audit Committee
Investigation and the process of the Company becoming current in its SEC reporting obligations. For the period from September 7, 2014 through December 14, 2014 in the case of Mr. Michelson, and for the period from December 15,
2014 through March 30, 2015 in the case of Mr. Frank, each received $50,000 per month in lieu of Audit Committee meeting fees and the other fees referred to in the following sentence. During the period when Mr. Michelson or
Mr. Frank was entitled to receive the fees described in the preceding sentence, the other was entitled to receive, in addition to regular Audit Committee meeting fees, a fee of $2,500 (not subject to the daily meeting fee limit) for each day on
which he attended one or more in-person or telephonic meetings with the Audit Committees advisors or the Companys independent auditor pertaining to the investigation or the process of the Company becoming current in its SEC reporting
obligations. Each of Messrs. Michelson and Frank received all other Board and committee retainers and fees. On December 31, 2014, Mr. Frank became Chairman of the Audit Committee in a planned transition from Mr. Michelson.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The Company established a Compensation Committee on July 6, 2011. The table below presents the members of the Compensation Committee and
their respective service terms beginning January 1, 2014. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Compensation Committee was composed of Leslie D. Michelson (Chairman), Edward G. Rendell and Scott J. Bowman. With the exception of
Mr. Stanley, who served as an executive officer of the Company from December 15, 2014 through March 31, 2015 (after the conclusion of his tenure as a member of the Compensation Committee), none of these persons had, at any time,

Summary Compensation Table

The following table provides certain summary information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 relating to compensation paid to, or
accrued by us, on behalf of, persons serving as our Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officers in 2014, each of our three other most highly compensated executive officers for fiscal 2014, and one additional named executive officer,
who would have qualified as one of the other three most highly paid officers if she had served as an executive officer at December 31, 2014. As noted in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis above, the footnotes to this table and
the Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control section below, the former executives did not retain the full compensation initially awarded to them during fiscal 2014, in connection with their resignations. As such, in a separate
tabular presentation to the right of the Summary Compensation Table, we have also presented the fiscal 2014 compensation, net of amounts relinquished by the former executives upon resignation. Additionally, we have presented summary
compensation information for each of Mr. Kay and Ms. Beeson for fiscal 2013, as they were the only named executive officers of the Company prior to 2014. The detail summary and philosophy regarding the information presented below is
further discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section above.

##### Table of Contents

Grants of Plan-Based Awards

The following table sets forth information with respect to awards granted to current and former executive officers during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2014. As noted in Compensation Discussion and Analysis above, the Summary Compensation Table above, the footnotes to this table and the Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control section
below, the former executives did not retain the full compensation initially awarded to them during fiscal 2014, in connection with their resignations. As such, in a separate tabular presentation to the right of the table below, we have also
presented the total 2014 stock award grants, net of amounts relinquished by the former executives upon resignation. No other grants of plan-based awards were made to the named executive officers during fiscal 2014.

|* | Payments were not subject to formulaic metrics and were to be determined by the Compensation Committee, in its discretion. Refer to the Bonus column of the Summary Compensation Table for actual amounts paid
to the current executives.

|** | Unless otherwise stated, all awards were made under the Equity Plan. The grant date value of each award was computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. These amounts reflect the Companys accounting expense for
these awards and do not correspond to the actual values, if any, that will be realized by the current officers, or in the case of the former executives, the values, that were actually realized.

##### Table of Contents

|(1) | Under the Sodo Employment Agreement, as defined below, no threshold, target or maximum cash bonus opportunities are provided. We have presented threshold, target, maximum cash payments under his original employment
letter, however, which was in effect as of December 31, 2014.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | Reflects total shares issued and related fair market value. Upon issuance, Mr. Sodo forfeited 2,468 shares with a fair market value of $32,430 for withholding taxes.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | Mr. Stanley received no stock awards in respect of his service as interim CEO. See the Compensation of Directors table below for stock awards granted to Mr. Stanley in respect of his service as
independent director.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(4) | Upon Mr. Schorschs resignation, 1.0 million restricted shares of common stock were relinquished. In connection with Mr. Schorschs resignation, 1.0 million shares vested. These shares are
subject to clawback by the Company if in any proceeding in which Mr. Schorsch is a party, after all appeals, he is found to have breached his fiduciary duty of loyalty or is found to have committed or admits to fraud or misconduct by him, in
connection with his responsibilities as a director or officer of the Company.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(5) | Reflects awards made under the OPP. Upon resignation of the named executive officer, all outstanding interests in the OPP were relinquished.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(6) | As these stock awards were relinquished upon the named executive officers resignation in December 2014, which was within the same reporting period as the grant date, the grant date fair value of the stock awards
was not computed and therefore the grant date fair value of such awards are not shown in the table above.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(7) | Upon resignation of the named executive officer, all shares of common stock related to this grant were relinquished.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(8) | As previously discussed, no annual bonus payments were made to the former executives in respect of fiscal 2014.

Outstanding Equity Awards as of December 31, 2014

The following table provides a summary of the shares of restricted stock issued to current and former executive officers, which had not vested
as of December 31, 2014. As disclosed in footnote 6 below, the former executives forfeited all unvested stock awards and all outstanding interests in the OPP upon their respective resignations. The market value of restricted stock awards is
based on the closing price of a share of the Companys common stock on December 31, 2014, which was $9.05.

##### Table of Contents

Stock Vested

The following table provides a summary of the shares of stock issued to current and former executive officers, which vested during the year
ended December 31, 2014. As noted in Compensation Discussion and Analysis above, the Summary Compensation Table above, the footnotes to this table and the Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control
section below, Mr. Kay did not retain any shares of stock that vested during fiscal 2014 upon resignation. As such, in a separate tabular presentation to the right of the table, we have also presented the vested shares of common stock, net of
amounts relinquished upon resignation. The market value of restricted vested shares is based on the closing price of the Companys Common Stock on the respective vesting date.

Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control

Current Executives

Michael J. Sodo

Mr. Sodo was appointed as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company effective
October 29, 2014. However, he only entered into an employment agreement with the Company (the Sodo Employment Agreement) in respect of the position of chief financial officer on January 9, 2015. Therefore, for the purposes of
the   Termination Scenario Table section below, we have presented Mr. Sodos termination scenarios as set forth under his initial employment arrangement which was entered into in July 2014 when Mr. Sodo joined the
Company as Senior Vice President, Director of Financial Reporting and Treasury. Such arrangement was still in effect as of December 31, 2014 and constituted an at-will arrangement with no specific payouts specified upon any particular
termination scenarios. For the purposes of this section, we have described Mr. Sodos various termination scenarios below as set forth in the Sodo Employment Agreement, which are quantified in a footnote to the table contained in the
- Termination Scenario Table section below.

Death or Disability: If Mr. Sodos employment with the Company
should terminate during the term of the Sodo Employment Agreement due to his death or at the election of the Company due to his Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then the Company will provide Mr. Sodo with the Accrued
Benefits (comprised of (i) any earned and accrued but unpaid installment of

base salary through the termination date, (ii) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the termination date and (iii) all other applicable payments or
benefits to which Mr. Sodo is entitled under, and paid or provided in accordance with, the terms of any Company-sponsored employee benefit plans) and any accrued but unpaid annual cash bonus for the year prior to the year of termination, if
applicable. In addition, upon any such termination for death or Disability, Mr. Sodos promotion cash grant will become payable in full, and Mr. Sodos promotion share grant and any previously granted annual stock bonus will
become fully vested and all restrictions thereon will lapse on the termination date, subject to the achievement of any applicable performance-vesting criteria applicable to Mr. Sodos equity awards prior to the termination date.

Termination by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Sodo for Good Reason: If Mr. Sodos employment with the Company
should terminate during the term of the Employment Agreement at the election of the Company without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), or upon a resignation by Mr. Sodo for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then
the Company will pay Mr. Sodo (i) the Accrued Benefits, (ii) any accrued but unpaid annual cash bonus for the calendar year prior to the year in which termination occurs, and subject to signing a general release of claims,
(iii) an amount equal to (y) twelve (12) months base salary plus (z) an amount equal to the target level of the annual cash bonus for the calendar year in which the termination occurs. Solely for purposes of calculating such
severance payment, the target level of Mr. Sodos annual cash bonus will not be less than his annual base salary. In addition, upon any such termination without Cause or for Good Reason, the promotion cash grant will become payable in
full, and the promotion share grant and any previously granted annual stock bonus will become fully vested and all restrictions thereon will lapse on the termination date, subject to the achievement of any applicable performance-vesting criteria
applicable to Mr. Sodos awards prior to the termination date. Mr. Sodo will generally be subject to one-year post-employment noncompetition and non-solicitation covenants.

Termination by the Company for Cause, by Mr. Sodo without Good Reason or a Non-Renewal of the Sodo Employment Agreement: If
Mr. Sodos employment with the Company should be terminated during the term of the Employment Agreement by the Company for Cause, by Mr. Sodo without Good Reason or upon the non-renewal of the term by either party, the Company will
pay Mr. Sodo only the Accrued Benefits and the Company will have no further obligations to Mr. Sodo under the Employment Agreement.

Paul H.
McDowell

Mr. McDowell is party to an employment arrangement which became effective with the Company on January 8, 2014.
Details of his termination scenarios are presented below.

Death or Disability: If Mr. McDowells employment arrangement
is terminated due to his death or at the election of the Company due to his disability, Mr. McDowell will be entitled to the Accrued Benefits which shall collectively consist of: (i) any earned and accrued but unpaid base
salary through the date of termination; (ii) reimbursement of unreimbursed insurance premiums for the calendar year prior to the date of termination; (iii) payment for any accrued but unused vacation; (iv) reimbursement for any
unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the date of termination; (v) payment of any accrued but unpaid tax indemnification payment; and (vi) all other applicable payments under the Companys benefits plans. In addition to the
Accrued Benefits, Mr. McDowell would be due any accrued but unpaid annual bonus for the year prior to the year of termination and a pro rata bonus for the year in which such termination occurs. Additionally, any outstanding restricted equity
issued to Mr. McDowell may vest in this scenario, subject to the terms and conditions of his equity awards.

Termination by the
Company without Cause; Non-Renewal by the Company: If Mr. McDowells employment arrangement is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in his employment arrangement) or due to a non-renewal of his employment arrangement,
Mr. McDowell will be entitled to: (i) the Accrued Benefits; (ii) a payment equal to the sum of: (A) the remaining base salary due for the remainder of the initial term of the arrangement; (B) an amount equal to the minimum
bonuses due through the remainder of the initial term; (C) an amount equal to continued base salary for a period of up to 14 months following termination based upon the Companys election whereby Mr. McDowell will be restricted from
competition with the Company and solicitation of the Companys clients and investors during such period (the Election Period); and (D) a pro rata minimum bonus determined by the length of the Election Period; (iii) any
accrued but unpaid bonus for the year prior to the year of termination; (iv) a pro rata annual bonus; (v) subject to certain conditions, health coverage for 18 months following termination; (vi) subject to certain conditions,
continued payment of life insurance premiums and disability coverage for 24 months following termination; and (vii) immediate vesting of all outstanding and unvested restricted share awards and other equity rights, unless superseded by the
terms of an applicable award. Any severance benefits will be contingent upon Mr. McDowells execution of a release of claims against the Company.

Termination by the Company for Cause, Voluntary Resignation by Mr. McDowell or Non-Renewal by Mr. McDowell: Only the Accrued
Benefits would be due to Mr. McDowell in connection with a termination by the Company for Cause, upon Mr. McDowells voluntary resignation or a non-renewal of Mr. McDowells employment arrangement by Mr. McDowell.

##### Table of Contents

Thomas W. Roberts

As previously discussed, the Company is currently renegotiating the terms of Mr. Roberts January 16, 2014 employment letter.
Under the terms of the current employment letter, Mr. Roberts is entitled to severance benefits in connection with a termination of Mr. Roberts employment by the Company without Cause (as defined in his employment letter). Certain of
his equity may vest in certain other scenarios though, as described further below.

Death or Disability: To the extent equity
awards issued to Mr. Roberts provided for vesting upon his death or disability, Mr. Roberts equity issued pursuant to such awards may vest.

Termination by the Company without Cause: In connection with a termination of Mr. Roberts employment by the Company without
Cause, Mr. Roberts would be due an amount equal to his trailing 12 months annual cash compensation (inclusive of his then current base salary, together with any annual cash bonus paid in the 12-month period prior to his termination).
Additionally, he will be entitled to full vesting of his equity awards. Mr. Roberts will be subject to a one-year post- employment noncompetition covenant.

Resignation by Mr. Roberts with Good Reason: Although Mr. Roberts employment letter does not provide additional payouts
in connection with his resignation from the Company with Good Reason, certain of Mr. Roberts equity may accelerate and become fully vested should he resign with Good Reason (as defined in the applicable equity award).

Michael T. Ezzell

Mr. Ezzell is
party to an at-will employment letter with the Company. Therefore, in connection with the termination of his employment, there are no specific payouts provided for in his employment letter. However, pursuant to certain termination scenarios, such as
a termination of Mr. Ezzells employment by the Company without Cause or upon Mr. Ezzells death or disability, certain of his equity may vest pursuant to the terms of his applicable equity awards, subject to his execution of a
release of claims against the Company.

Equity Plan

As it applies to outstanding awards as of December 31, 2014, the Equity Plan provides that in the event of a change in control (as defined
therein), all outstanding awards become fully vested and that any performance conditions on awards are deemed fully achieved.

Interim Executive

William G. Stanley

On
December 15, 2014, the Board appointed William G. Stanley, then the Companys Lead Independent Director, to serve in the full-time positions of Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chairman of the Board. While in this role,
Mr. Stanley received $150,000 per month (the Monthly Retainer) in lieu of any other Board cash retainers and cash fees. Mr. Stanley continued to be eligible to receive the equity retainer payable to directors. In connection
with the appointments of Glenn J. Rufrano as Chief Executive Officer and Hugh R. Frater as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board, each effective April 1, 2015, Mr. Stanley resigned from his positions as Interim Chief Executive Officer and
Interim Chairman of the Board on such date. Mr. Stanleys position as Interim Chief Executive Officer was not documented in a formal employment agreement and he was due no additional fees or benefits upon his resignation on April 1,
2015, aside from any accrued and unpaid amounts of his Monthly Retainer.

Former Executives

Nicholas S. Schorsch, David S. Kay, Lisa E. Beeson and Brian S. Block

As depicted in the  Termination Scenario Table section below, each of Nicholas S. Schorsch, David S. Kay, Lisa E. Beeson and
Brian S. Block voluntarily resigned from the Company prior to December 31, 2014. Therefore, in the table, we have only presented the actual payouts made to each of these individuals in respect of his or her voluntary resignation as it occurred.
The details of the actual payments made in connection with their resignations are further described below.

Nicholas S. Schorsch

In connection with Mr. Schorschs resignation on December 12, 2014 from all of his capacities with the Company, the Operating
Partnership, the Companys subsidiaries and certain Company-related entities (including the non-traded real estate investment trusts sponsored or managed by the Company or its affiliates), Mr. Schorsch entered into an agreement (the
Schorsch Separation Agreement) with the Company on such date pursuant to which he received accrued and unpaid salary (including salary in lieu of

accrued but unused vacation), reimbursement of expenses and other accrued and vested benefits in accordance with the Companys retirement, pension or benefit arrangements, in each case only
due and owing up to and including December 12, 2014, as well as Company-paid medical and dental coverage for him and his family for one year (to the extent then currently provided) and the first-year premium of his life insurance policy. In
consideration for the accelerated vesting of 1,000,000 restricted shares of the Companys common stock (the Subject Shares) previously granted to Mr. Schorsch pursuant to a retention award (the Retention Award)
under his employment agreement, dated as of October 21, 2013 (as reformed pursuant to documentation executed contemporaneously with the Schorsch Separation Agreement and attached as exhibits thereto, the Schorsch Employment
Agreement), Mr. Schorsch agreed to relinquish and forfeit the other 1,000,000 restricted shares previously granted under the Retention Award that might otherwise vest subsequent to December 12, 2014, any participation or award under
the OPP and any other equity award under the Schorsch Employment Agreement. Mr. Schorsch further agreed that the Subject Shares were in full satisfaction of any amounts currently owed to him or that may become owed to him in the future under
the Schorsch Employment Agreement, a related restricted stock agreement, the OPP or any other compensatory or incentive arrangement (written or oral) or other document that Mr. Schorsch had entered into with the Company or the Operating
Partnership, except for those described in the second sentence of this paragraph. Mr. Schorsch also agreed to use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company and the Operating Partnership in connection with any restatements of
previouslyissued financial statements and similar matters. Certain provisions of the Schorsch Employment Agreement that survive the end of Mr. Schorschs employment will remain in effect, including Mr. Schorschs right to
receive continuing directors and officers insurance coverage.

The Subject Shares are subject to a clawback pursuant to which
Mr. Schorsch has agreed to deliver the Subject Shares (together with the amount of dividends thereon declared and received after December 12, 2014) promptly to the Company if (a) a final adjudication is entered by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a proceeding in which Mr. Schorsch is a party (as to which all rights of appeal have been exhausted or lapsed) finding that Mr. Schorsch breached his fiduciary duty of loyalty or (b) there is a finding or admission of
fraud or misconduct by Mr. Schorsch in connection with any regulatory, administrative or other proceeding in which Mr. Schorsch is a party (as to which all rights of appeal have been exhausted, forfeited or lapsed), in the case of either
(a) or (b) in connection with his responsibilities as an officer or director of the Company.

Former Executive was employed by the Company, such as base salary and other compensation. See the Summary Compensation Table and Compensation Discussion and Analysis above for the total net amount of 2014 compensation

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Related Party Transactions with AR Capital, LLC, RCS Capital Corporation and their Affiliates

Throughout the early part of 2014 and in connection with various transactions, the Company entered into related party transactions with
affiliates of AR Capital, LLC and RCS Capital Corporation (RCAP), as further described below. A substantial majority of these transactions closed in the first quarter of 2014 and the Company has taken significant steps to eliminate its
relationships with such parties.

On December 31, 2014, our Board of Directors determined to assign responsibility for reviewing,
and, if appropriate, approving related person transactions to its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. To implement this change, the Board adopted an amendment to the bylaws of the Company (the Bylaws) to delete
Section 3.11 (which had previously established a Conflicts Committee of the Board to review and, if appropriate, approve certain related person transactions) and amended the charters of the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee. The amended charters of the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are available on the Companys website at www.arcpreit.com.

Transition to Self-Management

Prior to
January 8, 2014, the Former Manager, a wholly owned subsidiary of AR Capital, LLC (ARC), managed the Companys affairs on a day-to-day basis, with the exception of certain acquisition, accounting and portfolio management
services performed by employees of the Company. On January 8, 2014, the Company completed its transition to self-management and in connection with becoming self-managed, it terminated the management agreement with the Former Manager. All of the
equity interests in ARC were owned by the following former officers and/or directors of the Company: Nicholas S. Schorsch; William M. Kahane; Peter M. Budko; Edward M. Weil, Jr; and Brian S. Block while the management agreement was effective.
Mr. Schorsch formerly served as the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of our Board of Directors and was the Chief Executive Officer of and owned a controlling interest in the Former Manager. Mr. Weil formerly
served as director, President, Chief Operating Officer, Treasurer and Secretary of the Company and was the President, Chief Operating Officer, Treasurer and

Secretary of the Former Manager. Mr. Block formerly served as the Companys Executive Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer and was the Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer of the Former Manager. Mr. Kahane, formerly an officer of the Company and one of the Companys directors, controls ARC with Mr. Schorsch. Mr. Budko also previously held officer positions with the
Company.

The Former Manager agreed to provide certain transition services to the Company for a 60-day period following the Companys
January 8, 2014 transition to self-management related to accounting, acquisition, investor and public relations, human resources and administration, payroll, benefits, insurance and risk management, information technology, telecommunications
and Internet, and office management. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company paid $10.0 million to the Former Manager on January 8, 2014. In addition, on January 8, 2014, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, entered into
the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement with the Former Manager (the Purchase Agreement), pursuant to which the Former Manager agreed to transfer to the Company furniture, fixtures and equipment used by the Former Manager in connection
with the business of the Company. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid the Former Manager $10.0 million for the furniture, fixtures and equipment and certain unreimbursed expenses. In addition, the Company paid RCS Advisory Services, LLC
(RCS Advisory), a subsidiary of RCAP, $2.9 million in respect of the Transaction Management Services Agreement. Pursuant to the Transaction Management Services Agreement, dated December 9, 2013, the Company and the Operating
Partnership agreed to pay RCS Advisory an aggregate fee of $2.9 million in connection with providing the following services: transaction management support related to the Cole Merger up to the date of the Transaction Management Services Agreement
and ongoing transaction management support, marketing support, due diligence coordination and event coordination up to the date of the termination of the Transaction Management Services Agreement. The Transaction Management Services Agreement
expired on the consummation of the Companys transition to self-management on January 8, 2014. Refer to Provision of Investment Banking Services to the Company by RCS Capital below for a description of the relationship between
the Company and RCS Advisory and RCAP.

Management Agreements with the Former Manager and Affiliates

Prior to the termination of the amended and restated management agreement on January 8, 2014, the Company paid the Former Manager an
annual base management fee equal to 0.50% per annum of average unadjusted book value of the Companys real estate assets, calculated and payable monthly in advance, for the value of assets up to $3.0 billion and 0.40% per annum for
the unadjusted book value of assets over $3.0 billion. The management fee was generally payable in cash; however in lieu of cash, on January 21, 2014, the Former Manager agreed to settle all outstanding balances in stock, resulting in the
Company issuing 388,461 shares of common stock to the Former Manager. The management fee was payable independent of the performance of the Companys portfolio. Prior to the termination of the amended and restated management agreement as a
result of the Companys transition to self-management, the Company was required to pay the Former Manager a quarterly incentive fee, calculated based on 20% of the excess of annualized core earnings (as defined in the management agreement with
the Former Manager) over the weighted-average number of shares multiplied by the weighted-average price per share of common stock. One half of each quarterly installment of the incentive fee would be payable in shares of common stock. The remainder
of the incentive fee would be payable in cash. No incentive fees were incurred or paid for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The
Company agreed to pay certain fees and make certain reimbursement during the year ended December 31, 2014 to the Former Manager and its affiliates, as applicable, for their out-of-pocket costs, including without limitation, legal fees and
expenses, due diligence fees and expenses, other third party fees and expenses, costs of appraisals, travel expenses, nonrefundable option payments and deposits on properties not acquired, accounting fees and expenses, title insurance premiums and
other closing costs, personnel costs and miscellaneous expenses relating to the selection, acquisition and due diligence of properties or general operation of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2014, these expenses totaled $2.0
million.

In connection with the asset management services provided by American Realty Capital Advisors IV, LLC (ARCT IV
Advisor), an affiliate of ARC, ARCT IV issued (subject to periodic approval by ARCT IVs board of directors) to the ARCT IV Advisor performance-based restricted partnership units of the ARCT IV OP designated as ARCT IV Class B
Units, which were intended to be profit interests and to vest, and no longer be subject to forfeiture, at such time as: (x) the value of the ARCT IV OPs assets plus all distributions that equaled or exceeded the total amount of
capital contributed by investors plus a 6.0% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded annual return thereon (the economic hurdle); (y) any one of the following occurs: (1) the termination of the advisory agreement by an affirmative
vote of a majority of ARCT IVs independent directors without cause; (2) a listing; or (3) another liquidity event; and (z) the ARCT IV Advisor was still providing advisory services to ARCT IV.

The calculation of the ARCT IV asset management fees was equal to: (i) 0.1875% of the cost of ARCT IVs assets; divided by
(ii) the value of one share of ARCT IV common stock as of the last day of such calendar quarter. When approved by the board of directors, the ARCT IV Class B Units were issued to the ARCT IV Advisor quarterly in arrears pursuant to the terms of
the ARCT IV OP agreement. The performance condition related to the 498,857 ARCT IV Class B Units, which includes

units issued during the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the period of January 1, 2014 through the ARCT IV Merger Date, was satisfied upon the completion of the ARCT IV Merger.
These ARCT IV Class B Units immediately converted into OP Units at the 2.3961 exchange ratio and the Company recorded an expense of $13.9 million based on the fair value of the ARCT IV Class B Units at that time. No additional expense was recorded
during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Provision of Investment Banking Services to the Company by RCS Capital

Mr. Schorsch was a direct and significant stockholder in 2014 of RCAP, the parent of American National Stock Transfer, LLC, Realty Capital
Securities, LLC (RCS Capital) and RCS Advisory. Additionally, each of Messrs. Block, Budko, Kahane and Weil held direct and/or critical positions at RCAP. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company engaged RCS Capital to
provide investment banking and strategic advisory services to the Company in connection with several mergers (including the ARCT IV Merger, the Cole Merger and the Multi-tenant Spin-off described below), large portfolio acquisitions and certain
equity and debt offerings. Each engagement provided for a standard success-based fee or structuring fee that was paid or was payable at the closing of a particular transaction. Additionally, such engagements provided for the reimbursement of certain
out of pocket expenses to RCS Capital in connection with the provision of services in respect of such engagements. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company paid a fee of $1.0 million (equal to 0.25% of the contract purchase price)
to RCS Capital for strategic advisory services related to the Companys acquisition of certain properties in the Fortress Portfolio and $0.6 million (equal to 0.25% of the contract purchase price) related to the Companys acquisition of
certain properties in the Inland Portfolio.

Acquisition of ARCT IV

On January 3, 2014, the Company acquired ARCT IV pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the ARCT IV Merger Agreement),

Audrain Building and Other Offices

The Company incurred fees and expenses payable to ARC Real Estate Partners, LLC (ARC Real Estate), a subsidiary of the Former
Manager, or payable to a third party on behalf of ARC Real Estate for amenities related to Audrain (defined below) and certain other offices totaling $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, of which $8.7 million related to Audrain,
as defined below. In addition, on October 4, 2013, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a subsidiary of ARC Real Estate, an affiliate of the Former Manager, to lease space in a building in Newport, Rhode Island (Audrain)
for a term of 15 years with annual base rent of $0.4 million requiring monthly payments beginning on that date. As there were tenants occupying the building when it was purchased, these tenants subleased their premises from the Company until their
leases terminated. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company incurred and paid $0.3 million for base rent, which was partially offset by $17,000 of rental revenue received from the subtenants during the year ended December 31,
2014.

As a result of findings of the investigation conducted by the Audit Committee, the Company terminated this lease agreement and was
reimbursed for the tenant improvement and furniture costs incurred by the Company totaling $8.5 million, during the year ended December 31, 2014. Reimbursement was made by delivery and retirement of 916,423 OP Units held by an affiliate of the
Former Manager. The Company never moved into or occupied the building.

In addition, the Company paid an affiliate of the Former Manager
$0.6 million for rent and $1.1 million for leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures related to the New York (405 Park) office, $0.5 million for leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures related to the Phoenix office, and an
aggregate of $0.1 million for rent related to the Pennsylvania and North Carolina offices. The Company has since vacated the New York (405 Park), Pennsylvania and North Carolina offices.

Equity Awards

The Company entered into a
2013 Advisor Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement (the Advisor OPP) with the Operating Partnership and the Former Manager on February 28, 2013. Under the Advisor OPP, the Former Manager was granted 8,241,101 LTIP units which,
pursuant to the terms of the Advisor OPP, were to be earned or forfeited based on the level of achievement of the performance metrics under the OPP. The performance period under the OPP commenced on December 11, 2012 and was scheduled to end on
December 31, 2015, with interim measurement periods ending on December 31, 2013 and 2014. Any LTIP units were to be earned under the OPP and were to vest .333 on each of December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, and the Former Manager would
have been entitled to convert an LTIP unit into an OP Unit within 30 days following each vesting date. In addition, the Advisor OPP provided for accelerated earning and vesting of LTIP units if the Former Manager was terminated or if the Company
experienced a change in control. The Former Manager was entitled to receive a tax gross-up in the event that any amounts paid to it under the OPP constituted parachute payments as defined in Section 280G of the Code.

Effective January 8, 2014, in connection with the Companys successful transition to self-management, the Compensation Committee
determined that each of the 8,241,101 LTIP Units issued under the Advisor OPP were fully vested and earned. The LTIP Units were converted into OP Units by the Former Manager and distributed to the members of ARC ratably on such date.

The Former Manager is directly wholly owned by ARC. For a description of the ownership interests of the Companys officers and directors
in ARC, see  Transition to Self-Management above.

In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2014, the
Company granted 796,075 restricted stock awards to employees of affiliates of the Former Manager as compensation for certain services and 87,702 restricted stock awards to two directors who are affiliates of the Former Manager. The grant date fair
value of the awards was $12.5 million.

Tax Protection Agreement

The Company is party to a tax protection agreement with ARC Real Estate, an affiliate of ARC, which contributed its 100% indirect ownership
interests in 63 of the Companys properties to the Operating Partnership in the formation transactions related to the Companys IPO. Pursuant to the tax protection agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify ARC Real Estate for its tax
liabilities (plus an additional amount equal to the taxes incurred as a result of such indemnity payment) attributable to its built-in gain, as of the closing of the formation transactions, with respect to its interests in the contributed properties
(other than two vacant properties contributed), if the Company sells, conveys, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of these interests in a taxable transaction on or prior to September 6, 2021. The sole and exclusive rights and
remedies of ARC Real Estate under the tax protection agreement will be a claim against the Operating Partnership for its tax liabilities as calculated in the tax protection agreement, and ARC Real Estate shall not be entitled to pursue a claim for
specific performance or bring a claim against any person that acquires a protected party from the Operating Partnership in violation of the tax protection agreement. ARC Real Estate is owned and controlled in the same manner as ARC. For a
description of the ownership interests of the Companys officers and directors in ARC, see  Transition to Self-Management above.

the Company by RCAP in connection with the Agreement. In addition, the Company and RCAP have agreed to terminate, unwind or otherwise discontinue all agreements, arrangements and understandings between the two parties and any of their respective
subsidiaries.

Dealer Manager Agreements

Cole Capital Corporation, an indirectly controlled affiliate of the Company, generally receives a selling commission of up to 7.0% of gross
offering proceeds related to the sale of shares of CCPT IV, CCIT II and CCPT V common stock in their primary offerings, before reallowance of commissions earned by participating broker-dealers. The Company has and intends to continue to reallow 100%
of selling commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. In addition, the Company generally receives 2.0% of gross offering proceeds in the primary offerings, before reallowance to participating broker-dealers, as a dealer manager fee in
connection with the sale of CCPT IV, CCIT II and CCPT V shares of common stock. The Company, in its sole discretion, may reallow all or a portion of its dealer manager fee to such participating broker-dealers as a marketing and due diligence expense
reimbursement, based on factors such as the volume of shares sold by such participating broker-dealers and the amount of marketing support provided by such participating broker-dealers. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees are paid to the
Company or other broker-dealers with respect to shares sold under the respective Managed REITs distribution reinvestment plans, under which the stockholders may elect to have distributions reinvested in additional shares. CCPT IV closed its
offering in February 2014.

In connection with the sale of INAV shares of common stock, the Company receives an asset-based dealer manager
fee that is payable in arrears on a monthly basis and accrues daily in an amount equal to (i) 1/365th of 0.55% of the net asset value (NAV) for Wrap Class shares of common stock (W Shares) for such day,
(ii) 1/365th of 0.55% of the NAV for Advisor Class shares of common stock (A Shares) for such day and (iii) 1/365th of 0.25% of the NAV for Institutional Class shares of common stock (I Shares) for such
day. The Company, in its sole discretion, may reallow a portion of its dealer-manager fee received on W Shares, A Shares and I Shares to participating broker-dealers. In addition, the Company receives a selling commission on A Shares
sold in the primary offering of up to 3.75% of the offering price per share for A Shares. The Company has and intends to continue to reallow 100% of selling commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. The Company also receives an asset-based
distribution fee for A Shares that is payable in arrears on a monthly basis and accrues daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 0.50% of the NAV for A Shares for such day. The Company, in its sole discretion, may reallow a portion of the
distribution fee to participating broker-dealers. No selling commissions are paid to the Company or other broker-dealers with respect to W Shares or I Shares or on shares of any class of INAV common stock sold pursuant to INAVs distribution
reinvestment plan, under which the stockholders may elect to have distributions reinvested in additional shares, and no distribution fees are paid to the Company or other broker-dealers with respect to W Shares or I Shares.

All other organization and offering expenses associated with the sale of the Managed REITs common stock (excluding selling commissions,
if applicable, and the dealer manager fee) are paid for in advance by the Company and subject to reimbursement by the Managed REITs, up to certain limits per the respective advisory agreement. Expenses paid on behalf of the Managed REITs in excess
of these limits that are expected to be collected are recorded as program development costs. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $12.9 million of organization and offering costs paid on behalf of the Managed REITs in excess of the limits
that have not been reimbursed, which are expected to be reimbursed by the Managed REITs as they raise additional proceeds from the respective offering.

In March 2014, the Company, through a

Certain Conflict Resolution Procedures

Adoption of New Related Party Transactions Policy

As described above, the Board has determined to assign the responsibility for reviewing, and, if appropriate, approving related person
transactions to its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The current members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Thomas A. Andruskevich (Chairman), Bruce D. Frank, Hugh R. Frater, Julie G. Richardson and William G.
Stanley.

Limitations on Personal Investments

Our Board of Directors has adopted a policy with respect to any proposed investments by our directors or officers, which we refer to as the
covered persons, in our target properties. This policy provides that any proposed investment by a covered person for his or her own account in any of our target properties will be permitted if the capital required for the investment does
not exceed the lesser of (i) $5 million or (ii) 1% of our total stockholders equity as of the most recent month end (the personal investment limit). To the extent that a proposed investment exceeds the personal investment
limit, our Board of Directors will only permit the covered person to make the investment (i) upon the approval of the disinterested directors, or (ii) if the proposed investment otherwise complies with the terms of any other related party
transaction policy our Board of Directors may adopt in the future.

Operating Partnership

We have adopted policies that are designed to eliminate or minimize certain potential conflicts of interest, and the limited partners of the
Operating Partnership have agreed that in the event of a conflict between the duties owed by our directors to the Company and the Companys duties, in its capacity as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, to such limited partners,
we are under no obligation to give priority to the interests of such limited partners.

Real Estate Allocation Policy with Cole
Non-traded REITs

In connection with the acquisition of Cole, we acquired certain advisory agreements with the Managed REITs. The
Managed REITs investment strategies focus on the acquisition of net lease real estate, overlapping with our investment strategy in certain circumstances. Thus, we intend to allocate investment opportunities in light of the following criteria:



| |  |  | the anticipated operating cash flows of each entity and the cash requirements of each entity;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the effect of the potential acquisition both on diversification of each entitys investments by type of property, geographic area and tenant concentration;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount of funds available to each entity and the length of time such funds have been available for investment;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the policy of each entity relating to leverage of properties;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the income tax effects of the purchase to each entity; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the size of the investment.
| | - |  | ---------------------------

If we determine that an investment opportunity may be equally
appropriate for more than one program, then the entity that has had the longest period of time elapse since it was allocated an investment opportunity of a similar size and type (e.g., office, industrial or retail) will first be offered such
investment opportunity.

ARCP retains a right of first refusal in relationship to CCIT II and CCPT V with respect to all opportunities to
acquire real estate and real estate-related assets or portfolios with a purchase price greater than $100.0 million, the majority of whose aggregate asset value is composed of single-tenant real estate and real estate-related assets.

Director Independence

The Board of
Directors has considered the independence of each director in accordance with the elements of independence set forth in the listing standards of NASDAQ. The Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that Hugh R. Frater, Julie G. Richardson,
William G. Stanley, Thomas A. Andruskevich and Bruce D. Frank have no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company) other than as a
director of the Company and are independent within the meaning of NASDAQs director independence standards and the Companys Audit Committee independence standards, as currently in effect. Our Board of Directors has determined
that each of the five independent directors satisfies the listing standards for independence. There are no familial relationships between any of our independent directors and executive officers.
