Email Relating to Offering
On December 10, 2013, Realty Capital Securities, LLC, the exclusive dealer manager for American Realty Capital New York Recovery REIT, Inc.’s (the “Company”) approximate $1.7 billion primary offering of common stock (including shares reallocated from its distribution reinvestment plan)(the “Offering”), sent an email to broker dealers and financial advisors affiliated with members of the Company’s selling group in which it notified such recipients that, as of December 9, 2013, the Company had raised approximately $1.61 billion under the Offering.
As previously announced with respect to its previously filed follow-on offering, the Company will not raise, in the aggregate, more than the total amount of shares registered for sale in its Offering. Given the increased velocity of fundraising, the Company expects it will be able to accept subscriptions received in good order through Thursday, December 12, 2013. In light of such equity raised to date and the near completion of the Company’s initial public offering, the Company will not launch its follow-on offering. Subscriptions that are received will continue to be processed, subject to the availability of shares. Any subscriptions that the Company is unable to accept will be promptly returned.
The Company’s dealer manager will continue to provide regular updates regarding the Offering to provide for an orderly close.
The text of the email is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
