Nominating ProceduresCPA:18 – Global'sGlobal’s Board of Directors has not designated a separate nominating committee. The Board of Directors does not believe that a separate nominating committee is necessary because the full Board of Directors develops and reviews background information for all candidates for the Board of Directors, including those recommended by stockholders.

If there are no Independent Directors at a particular time, then Independent Directors shall be nominated by the full Board of Directors.Any stockholders entitled to vote at any regular or special meeting of stockholders may recommend Director candidates for inclusion by the Board of Directors in the slate of nominees that the Board of Directors recommends to stockholders for election.

The Board of Directors does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees.

The Board of Directors believes that Ms. Munson is well-suited for her role as Chairperson based on her extensive board and executive level experience.Our Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of W. P. Carey Inc. (“WPC”), has general responsibility for implementing our policies and for the management of our business and affairs. Mr. Fox has served as our Chief Executive Officer and President, as well as a member of the Board of Directors, since January 1, 2018.Board Meetings and Directors’ AttendanceThere were five regular Board of Directors meetings, three additional Board of Directors meetings and nine Audit Committee meetings held in 2020, and each Director attended at least seventy-five percent of the aggregate Audit Committee meetings and Board meetings held during the year while he or she was a Director.

Although there is no specific policy regarding Director attendance at meetings of stockholders, Directors are invited and encouraged to attend. All of our Directors attended the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders held on June 10, 2020. In addition to Board and Committee meetings, our Directors also engaged in informal group communications and discussions with the CEO, as well as with members of senior management, which was particularly important in 2020 given the rapid development of the COVID-19 pandemic.Code of EthicsCPA:18 – Global’s Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Ethics that sets forth the standards of business conduct and ethics applicable to all of our officers and Directors. This code is available on the Company’s website (www.cpa18global.com) in the “Corporate Governance” section. We also intend to post amendments to or waivers from the Code of Ethics at this location on the website.Certain Relationships and Related Party TransactionsDuring 2020, we retained our advisor, pursuant to an advisory agreement, to provide advisory services in connection with identifying, evaluating, negotiating, financing, purchasing and disposing of investments, and to perform day-to-day management services and certain administrative duties for us. Our advisor earns asset management and other fees pursuant to the advisory agreement, and an affiliate of the advisor holds a membership interest in our operating partnership that entitles it to certain cash distributions. Asset management fees are, at our option,Proxy Statement and Notice of 2021 Annual Meeting|9 7Governance Matterspayable in cash or shares of our Class A common stock after consultation with the advisor. From January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020, we paid our advisor 50% of its asset management fees in shares of our Class A common stock and 50% in cash. Beginning April 1, 2020, in order to help preserve liquidity, we paid 100% of its asset management fees in shares of our Class A common stock.During 2020, we paid the advisor approximately $11.9 million in asset management fees. Our operating partnership paid approximately $7.2 million in distributions of available cash to an affiliate of our advisor pursuant to the operating partnership agreement.In addition, in return for performing services related to CPA:18 – Global’s investment acquisitions, the advisor is paid acquisition fees for making investments or for the development or construction of properties (a portion of which is payable upon acquisition of investments, with the remainder subordinated to a preferred return threshold). During 2020, we made payments of deferred acquisition fees (including interest) to our advisor totaling $2.7 million and capitalized current and deferred acquisition fees of approximately $0.2 million. At December 31, 2020, unpaid installments of current and deferred acquisition fees (including interest) totaled approximately $1.9 million. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, the cumulative total acquisition costs that we incur, including acquisition fees paid to the advisor, may not exceed 6.0% of the aggregate contract purchase price of all investments, which is measured at the end of each year. As of the year ended December 31, 2020, cumulative total acquisition costs did not exceed 6.0%. Effective January 1, 2020, the advisor waived its right to disposition fees with respect to sales and dispositions of single investments and portfolios of investments. The advisor may still be entitled to disposition fees in connection with a transaction or series of transactions related to a merger, liquidation, or other event, at the discretion of our board of directors.

During 2020, we made payments for the distribution and shareholder servicing fee totaling approximately $1.9 million. We ceased incurring the distribution and shareholder servicing fee during the fourth quarter of 2020 when, in the aggregate, underwriting compensation from all sources, including the distribution and shareholder servicing fee, any organizational and offering fee paid for underwriting and underwriting compensation paid by us and our affiliates, equaled 10% of the gross proceeds from our initial public offering (pursuant to limitations on underwriting compensation set by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority).We own interests in property-owning entities ranging from 50% to 100%, with the remaining interests held by WPC or third parties.Because we do not have our own employees, the advisor employs, directly and through its affiliates, officers and other personnel to provide services to us, including our Executive Officers. During 2020, we incurred approximately $2.8 million (approximately $0.1 million of which was capitalized) payable to the advisor or its affiliates to cover (i) personnel expenses, which includes both cash compensation and employee benefits, but excludes amounts paid by the advisor to the Executive Officers (which are not reimbursable by us); (ii) costs related to our advisor’s legal transactions group, which are based on a schedule of expenses relating to services performed for different types of transactions (e.g., financing, lease amendments, and dispositions, among other categories); and (iii) certain other overhead expenses (e.g., office rental expenses), which we pay based upon the percentage of the advisor’s full-time employee equivalents that are attributable to us (comprised of our advisor’s total full-time employee equivalents, weighted on a cash compensation basis, to be reviewed annually by us and the advisor). In addition, the amount of applicable personnel costs allocated to us was capped at 1% of our pro rata total revenues for 2020.Policies and Procedures With Respect to Related Party TransactionsAll of the transactions that we enter into with related persons, such as our Directors, Officers, and their immediate family members, must be, after disclosure of such affiliation, approved or ratified by a majority of our Directors10|Proxy Statement and Notice of 2021 Annual MeetingGovernance Matters(including a majority of our Independent Directors) who are not otherwise interested in the transaction.

The advisor earns asset management and other fees, and an affiliate of the advisor holds a membership interest in our operating partnership subsidiary entitling the affiliate to certain cash distributions. Asset management fees are payable in cash or shares of our Class A common stock at our option, after consultation with the advisor. For 2017, we paid our advisor its asset management fees in shares of our Class A common stock.During 2017, we paid the advisor approximately $11.2 million in asset management fees. Our operating partnership paid approximately $8.7 million in distributions of available cash to an affiliate of our advisor pursuant to the operating partnership agreement.In addition, in return for performing services related to CPA:18 – Global's investment acquisitions, the advisor is paid acquisition fees, a portion of which is payable upon acquisition of investments for making of such investments or for the development or construction of properties with the remainder subordinated to a preferred return threshold.

We will no longer incur the distribution and shareholder servicing fee beginning on the date at which, in the aggregate, underwriting compensation from all sources, including the distribution and shareholder servicing fee, any organizational and offering fee paid for underwriting and underwriting compensation paid by WPC and its affiliates, equals 10.0% of the gross proceeds from our initial public offering, which we have not yet reached.Effective as of June 30, 2017, WPC exited all non-traded retail fundraising activities carried out by Carey Financial. As a result, beginning with the fees for the third quarter of 2017, we now pay the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fees for our Class C common stock directly to the selected dealers, rather than through Carey Financial. There is no change in the amount of distribution and shareholder servicing fees that we incur. During 2017, we made payments for the distribution and shareholder servicing fee totaling approximately $2.2 million.We own interests in property-owning entities ranging from 50% to 97%, with the remaining interests held by CPA:17 – Global or third parties.Because we do not have our own employees, the advisor employs, directly and through its affiliates, officers and other personnel to provide services to us, including our Executive Officers. During 2017, we incurred approximately $3.8 million payable to the advisor or its affiliates to cover (i) personnel expenses, which includes both cash compensation and employee benefits, but excludes amounts paid by the advisor to the Executive Officers (which are not reimbursable by us) and (ii) certain other overhead expenses, such as office rental expenses, which we pay a proportionate share of based on our gross revenues. In addition, during 2017, we capitalized personnel and overhead reimbursements of approximately $0.6 million.In July 2016, WPC agreed to make available to us a short-term line of credit of up to $50.0 million in loans, in the aggregate, at a rate equal to the rate at which WPC is able to borrow funds under its existing credit facility, for acquisition funding purposes. Any such loans are made solely at the discretion of WPC's management. At December 31, 2017, we had no such loans outstanding from WPC.Policies and Procedures With Respect to Related Party TransactionsAll of the transactions that we enter into with related persons, such as our Directors, Officers, and their immediate family members, must be, after disclosure of such affiliation, approved or ratified by a majority of our Directors (including a majorityAppointment of Independent Directors) who are not otherwise interested in the transaction. In addition, such Directors and Independent Directors must determine that (i) the transaction is in all respects on such terms as, at the time of the transaction and under the circumstances then prevailing, fair and reasonable to our stockholders, and (ii) the terms of such transaction are at least as favorable as the terms then prevailing for comparable transactions made on an arm's-length basis. In addition, our Charter provides that we may purchase or lease assets from WPC, our advisor, our Directors or affiliates of any of the foregoing if a majority of our Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction determines that: (a) such transaction is fair and reasonable to us and at a price equal to the cost of the asset to WPC, our advisor, our Directors or their affiliates, or (b) if the price to us is in excess of such cost, that there is a substantial justification for such excess and such excess is reasonable.14 | Proxy Statement and Notice of 2018 Annual MeetingSection 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting ComplianceSection 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our Directors, Executive Officers and any persons who are the beneficial owners of more than 10% of our shares file reports of their ownership and changes in ownership of our shares with the SEC and to furnish us with copies of all such Section 16 reports that they file. Based upon a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us as filed with the SEC and other written representations that no other reports were required to be filed during the year, we believethat our Directors and Executive Officers were in compliance with the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) during 2017, except that Mr. Fox filed his initial statement of beneficial ownership on Form 3, reporting that he did not beneficially own any securities of the Company on the date he became our Chief Executive Officer and a Director, two weeks late due to an administrative error by the Company. We know of no stockholder who beneficially owned more than 10% of our stock.Proxy Statement and Notice of 2018 Annual Meeting | 15Proposal Two: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting FirmGlobal'sGlobal’s inception, we have engaged the firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
