PROXY STATEMENT

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

We are providing you with this proxy statement, which contains information about the items to be voted upon at our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. To make this information easier to understand, we have presented some of the information below in a question and answer format.

Q: Why did you send me this proxy statement?

A: Our board of directors is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares of the Company’s common stock at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This proxy statement includes information that we are required to provide to you under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is designed to assist you in voting. This proxy statement, the proxy card and our 2013 annual report to stockholders are being mailed to you on or about April 14, 2014.

Q: What is a proxy?

A: A proxy is a person who votes the shares of stock of another person. The term “proxy” also refers to the proxy card. When you return the enclosed proxy card, or authorize your proxy by telephone or over the Internet, you are giving your permission to vote your shares of common stock at the annual meeting. The person who will vote your shares of common stock at the annual meeting is either D. Kirk McAllaster, Jr. or Matthew E. Stoloff. One or both of them will vote your shares of common stock as you instruct. If you sign and return the proxy card, or authorize your proxy by telephone or over the Internet, and give no instructions, the proxies will vote FOR ALL of the director nominees. With respect to any other proposals properly presented at the meeting for voting, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the board of directors or, in the absence of such a recommendation, in the discretion of one or both of the proxies. The proxies will not vote your shares of common stock if you do not return the enclosed proxy card or authorize your proxy by telephone or over the Internet. This is why it is important for you to return the proxy card to us or authorize your proxy by telephone or over the Internet as soon as possible whether or not you plan on attending the meeting in person.

If you authorize your proxy by telephone or over the Internet, please do notreturn your proxy card.

Q: When is the annual meeting and where will it be held?

A: The annual meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 27, 2014, at 12:45 p.m. Eastern time at The CORE: Club located at 66 East 55^th Street, New York, New York 10022.

Q: How many shares of common stock can vote?

A: As of the close of business on the record date of March 28, 2014, there were 4,617,312 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. Every stockholder of record as of the close of business on March 28, 2014 is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held at that date and time and all of our outstanding classes of common stock will vote together as a single class. Fractional shares will have corresponding fractional votes.

Q: What is a “quorum”?

A: A “quorum” consists of the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares entitled vote. There must be a quorum present in order for business to be transacted at the

1

annual meeting. If you submit a properly executed proxy card, even if you abstain from voting or do not give instructions for voting, then you will at least be considered part of the quorum.

Q: What may I vote on?

A: You may vote on the election of nominees to serve on our board of directors and on any other proposal properly presented for a vote at the annual meeting.

Q: How does the board of directors recommend I vote on the proposal?

A: The board of directors recommends a vote “FOR ALL” nominees for director who are named as such in this proxy statement.

Q: Who is entitled to vote?

A: Anyone who owned our common stock at the close of business on March 28, 2014, the record date, is entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

Q: How do I vote?

A: You may vote your shares of common stock either in person or by proxy. In order to vote in person, you must attend the annual meeting. Whether you plan to attend the meeting and vote in person or not, we urge you to have your vote recorded. Stockholders may authorize their proxy via mail, using the enclosed proxy card. In addition, stockholders who live in the United States may authorize a proxy by following the “Vote by Phone” instructions on the enclosed proxy card. Stockholders with Internet access may authorize a proxy by following the “Vote by Internet” instructions on the enclosed proxy card. The telephone and Internet proxy authorization procedures are designed to authenticate the stockholder’s identity and to allow stockholders to authorize a proxy and confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. If the telephone or Internet option is available to you, we strongly encourage you to use it because it is faster and less costly. If you attend the annual meeting, you also may vote in person, and any previous proxies that you authorized will be superseded by the vote that you cast at the annual meeting. You may also attend the annual meeting without revoking any previously authorized proxy. If you return your signed proxy card, or authorize your proxy by telephone or over the Internet, but do not indicate how you wish to vote, your shares of common stock will be counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum and voted FOR ALL nominees for director and, with respect to any other proposals to be voted upon, in accordance with the recommendation of the board of directors or, in the absence of such a recommendation, in the discretion of the proxies.

Q: Will my vote make a difference?

A: Yes. Your vote is very important to ensure that the proposals can be acted upon. Unlike most other public companies, no large brokerage houses or affiliated groups of stockholders own substantial blocks of our shares. As a result, a large number of our stockholders must be present in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to constitute a quorum.AS A RESULT, YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT EVEN IF YOU OWN ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF SHARES! Your immediate response will help avoid potential delays and may save us significant additional expense associated with soliciting stockholder votes. We encourage you to participate in the governance of the Company and welcome your attendance at the annual meeting.

2

Q: What if I return my proxy card and then change my mind?

A: You have the right to revoke your proxy at any time before the vote by:

(1) notifying Matthew E. Stoloff, our secretary, in writing at our offices located at 2325 East Camelback Road, Suite 1100, Phoenix, Arizona 85016;

(2) attending the meeting and voting in person; or

(3) returning another proxy after your first proxy, which is received before the annual meeting date. Only the most recent vote will be counted and all others will be discarded regardless of the method of voting.

Q: How will voting on any other business be conducted?

A: Although we do not know of any business to be considered at the annual meeting other than the election of directors, if any other business is properly presented at the annual meeting, your proxy gives authority to D. Kirk McAllaster, Jr., our executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer, and Matthew E. Stoloff, our secretary, or either of them, to vote on such matters in accordance with the recommendation of the board of directors or, in the absence of such a recommendation, in their discretion.

Q: Who pays the cost of this proxy solicitation?

A: The Company will pay all the costs of soliciting these proxies. The Company will also reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to our stockholders.

Q: Is this proxy statement the only way that proxies are being solicited?

A: No. In addition to mailing proxy solicitation material, our directors and officers, and employees of our sponsor, Cole Capital^TM, as well as third-party proxy service companies we retain, may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by any other electronic means of communication we deem appropriate. No additional compensation will be paid to our directors or officers or to employees of Cole Capital for such services. We have retained Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. to assist us in the distribution of proxy materials and solicitation of votes. We anticipate the costs of such services to the Company to be approximately $12,000.

Q: If I plan to attend the annual meeting in person, should I notify anyone?

A: While you are not required to notify anyone in order to attend the annual meeting, if you do plan to attend the meeting, we would appreciate it if you would call us toll free at 1-866-907-2653 to let us know that you will be attending the meeting so that we will be able to prepare a suitable meeting room for the attendees.

Q: Whom should I call if I have any questions?

A: If you have any questions about how to submit your proxy, or if you need additional copies of this proxy statement or the enclosed proxy card or voting instructions, you should contact:

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the annual meeting, you and the other stockholders will vote on the election of all six members of our board of directors. Those persons elected will serve as directors until the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualify. The board of directors has nominated the following people for re-election as directors:

• Nicholas S. Schorsch

• William M. Kahane

• T. Patrick Duncan

• George N. Fugelsang

• Richard J. Lehmann

• Roger D. Snell

Each of the nominees for director is a current member of our board of directors. The principal occupation and certain other information about the nominees are set forth below. We are not aware of any family relationship among any of the nominees to become directors or executive officers of the Company. Each of the nominees for election as director has stated that there is no arrangement or understanding of any kind between him and any other person relating to his election as a director, except that such nominees have agreed to serve as our directors if elected.

If you return a properly executed proxy card, or if you authorize your proxy by telephone or over the Internet, unless you direct the proxies to withhold your votes, the individuals named as the proxies will vote your shares for the election of the nominees listed above. If any nominee becomes unable or unwilling to stand for re-election, the board may reduce its size, designate a substitute nominee, or fill the vacancy through a majority vote of the remaining directors (including a majority of the remaining independent directors if the vacancy relates to an independent director position). If a substitute is designated, proxies voting for the original nominee will be cast for the substituted nominee.

Vote Required; Recommendation

The vote of holders of a majority of all shares entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at a meeting of stockholders duly called at which a quorum is present, without the necessity for concurrence by the board of directors, is necessary for the election of a director. For purposes of the election of directors, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes cast against each director. A properly executed proxy card, or instruction by telephone or over the Internet, indicating “FOR ALL” will be considered a vote in favor of all nominees for re-election as director. A properly executed proxy card, or instruction by telephone or over the Internet, indicating “FOR ALL EXCEPT” will be considered a vote in favor of all nominees except those nominees you specifically list and have the effect of a vote against the nominees you specifically list. A properly executed proxy card, or instruction by telephone or over the Internet, indicating “WITHHOLD ALL” will have the effect of a vote against all directors.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR ALL” OF THE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR

CERTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT MANAGEMENT

Board of Directors

In accordance with applicable law and our Charter and bylaws, the business and affairs of the Company are managed under the direction of our board of directors.

4

Board Membership Criteria and Selection of Directors

The board of directors annually reviews the appropriate experience, skills and characteristics required of board members in the context of the then-current membership of the board. This assessment includes, in the context of the perceived needs of the board at that time, issues of knowledge, experience, judgment and skills such as an understanding of the real estate industry or brokerage industry or accounting or financial management expertise. Other considerations include the candidate’s independence from conflicts of interest with the Company and the ability of the candidate to attend board meetings regularly and to devote an appropriate amount of effort in preparation for those meetings. It also is expected that independent directors nominated by the board of directors will be individuals who possess a reputation and hold positions or affiliations befitting a director of a large publicly held company and are actively engaged in their occupations or professions or are otherwise regularly involved in the business, professional or academic community. A majority of our directors must be independent, as defined in our Charter. Moreover, as required by our Charter, at least one of our independent directors must have at least three years of relevant real estate experience, and each director must have at least three years of relevant experience demonstrating the knowledge and experience required to successfully acquire and manage the type of assets we acquire and manage.

The board of directors is responsible for selecting its own nominees and recommending them for election by the stockholders. Each of our nominees was recommended by our board of directors. Pursuant to our Charter, however, the independent directors must nominate replacements for any vacancies among the independent director positions. All director nominees then stand for election by the stockholders annually.

In its nomination review process, our board of directors solicits candidate recommendations from its own members and management of the Company. We have not employed and do not currently employ or pay a fee to any third party to identify or evaluate, or assist in identifying or evaluating, potential director nominees, although we are not prohibited from doing so if we determine such action to be in the best interests of the Company. Our board of directors also will consider recommendations made by stockholders for director nominees who meet the established director criteria set forth above. In order to be considered by our board of directors, recommendations made by stockholders must be submitted within the timeframe required to request a proposal to be included in the proxy materials. See “Stockholder Proposals” below for more information on procedures to be followed by our stockholders in submitting such recommendations. In evaluating the persons recommended as potential directors, our board of directors will consider each candidate without regard to the source of the recommendation and take into account those factors that our board of directors determines are relevant. Stockholders may directly nominate potential directors (without the recommendation of our board of directors) by satisfying the procedural requirements for such nomination as provided in Article II, Section 11 of our bylaws.

In considering possible candidates for election as a director, the board of directors is guided by the principle that each director should (i) be an individual of high character and integrity; (ii) be accomplished in his or her respective field, with superior credentials and recognition; (iii) have relevant expertise and experience upon which to base advice and guidance to management in the conduct of our real estate investment and management activities; (iv) have sufficient time available to devote to our affairs; and (v) represent the long-term interests of our stockholders as a whole. Our board of directors may also consider an assessment of its diversity, in its broadest sense, reflecting, but not limited to, age, geography, gender and ethnicity. While we do not have a formal diversity policy, we believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of our directors, considered as a group, should provide a significant composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow our board of directors to fulfill its responsibilities.

Board Meetings and Annual Stockholder Meeting

The board of directors held four meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Each director attended all of his board and committee meetings in 2013. Mr. Duncan was appointed as a director on August 6, 2013, and attended all of his board and committee meetings after that date. Mr. Schorsch and Mr. Kahane were appointed as directors in February 2014, and as a result did not attend any of the 2013 board and committee meetings. Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of our board of directors at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we encourage all of our directors to attend. Four of our then-current directors attended our 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders by conference telephone.

Independence

As required by our Charter, a majority of the members of our board of directors must qualify as “independent” as affirmatively determined by the board. The board consults with our legal counsel and counsel to the independent directors to ensure that the board’s determinations are consistent with our Charter and applicable securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent.”

Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his family members, and the Company, our senior management and our independent registered public accounting firm, the board has determined that Messrs. Duncan, Fugelsang, Lehmann and Snell, who comprise a majority of our board, qualify as independent directors. A copy of our independent director definition, which is contained in our Charter and complies with the requirements of the North American Securities Administrators Association’s Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts, was attached as an appendix to the proxy statement for our 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the SEC on April 19, 2013. Although our shares are not listed for trading on any national securities exchange, our independent directors also meet the current independence and qualifications requirements of the New York Stock Exchange.

Board Committees

Audit Committee

The board maintains one standing committee, the audit committee, to assist in fulfilling its responsibilities. The audit committee is composed of Mr. Snell (chairman) and Mr. Fugelsang, both of whom are independent directors. The audit committee meets periodically during the year, usually in conjunction with regular meetings of the board. The audit committee, by approval of at least a majority of the members, selects the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our annual financial statements, reviews with the independent registered public accounting firm the plans and results of the audit engagement, approves the audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, reviews the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, considers the range of audit and non-audit fees and reviews the adequacy of our internal accounting controls. Our board of directors has adopted a charter for the audit committee that sets forth its specific functions and responsibilities. The audit committee charter can be located on our website at https://www.colecapital.com/governance-docs by clicking on “Cole Income NAV Strategy Audit Committee Charter.”

Although our shares are not listed for trading on any national securities exchange, both members of the audit committee meet the current independence and qualifications requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, as well as our Charter and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. While both members of the audit committee have significant financial and/or accounting experience, the board of directors has determined that Mr. Snell satisfies the SEC’s requirements for an “audit committee financial expert” and has designated Mr. Snell as our audit committee financial expert. The audit committee met four times during 2013.

Compensation Committee

Our board of directors believes that it is appropriate for our board not to have a standing compensation committee based upon the fact that our executive officers, including our principal financial officer, and non-independent directors do not receive compensation directly from us for services rendered to us, and we do not intend to pay any compensation directly to our executive officers or non-independent directors.

Nominating Board of Directors – Functions

We believe that our board of directors is qualified to perform the functions typically delegated to a nominating committee, and that the formation of a separate committee is not necessary at this time. Therefore, all members of our board of directors develop the criteria necessary for prospective members of our board of directors and participate in the consideration of director nominees. The primary functions of the members of our board of directors relating to the consideration of director nominees are to conduct searches and interviews for prospective director candidates, if necessary, review background information for all candidates for the board of directors, including those recommended by stockholders, and formally propose the slate of director nominees for election by the stockholders at the annual meeting.

Communication with Directors

We have established procedures for stockholders or other interested parties to communicate directly with our board of directors. Such parties can contact the board by mail at: Chairman of the Cole Real Estate Income Strategy (Daily NAV), Inc. Audit Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary, 2325 East Camelback Road, Suite 1100, Phoenix, Arizona 85016.

The chairman of the audit committee will receive all communications made by these means, and will distribute such communications to such member or members of our board of directors as he deems appropriate, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communication received. For example, if any questions regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters are received, they will be forwarded by the chairman of the audit committee to the members of the audit committee for review.

Board Leadership Structure; Independent Lead Director

Nicholas S. Schorsch serves as both our chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer. The board of directors believes that independent oversight of management is an important component of an effective board of directors. The independent directors have determined that the most effective board of directors leadership structure for the Company at the present time is for the chief executive officer to also serve as chairman of the board of directors. The independent directors believe that because the chief executive officer is ultimately responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Company and for executing the Company’s strategy, and because the performance of the Company is an integral part of board deliberations, the chief executive officer is the director best qualified to act as chairman of the board of directors. The board of directors retains the authority to modify this structure to best address the Company’s unique circumstances, and to advance the best interests of all stockholders, as and when appropriate. In addition, although we do not have a lead independent director, the board of directors believes that the current structure is appropriate, as the Company has no employees and is externally managed by our advisor, whereby all operations are conducted by our advisor or its affiliates.

The board of directors also believes, for the reasons set forth below, that its existing corporate governance practices achieve independent oversight and management accountability, which is the goal that many seek to achieve by separating the roles of chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer. Our governance practices provide for strong independent leadership, independent discussion among directors and for independent evaluation of, and communication with, our executive officers and officers and key personnel of our advisor. Some of the relevant processes and other corporate governance practices include:

• A majority of our directors are independent directors. Each director is an equal participant in decisions made by the full board of directors. In addition, all matters that relate to our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates must be approved by a majority of the independent directors. The audit committee is comprised entirely of independent directors.

• Each of our directors is elected annually by our stockholders.

• Our advisor has a one-year contract, with an annual review by, and renewal subject to the approval of, our board of directors. The fees paid to our advisor must be deemed reasonable, as determined by our independent directors, on an annual basis.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The board of directors oversees our stockholders’ interest in the long-term health and the overall success of the Company and its financial strength.

The full board of directors is actively involved in overseeing risk management for the Company. It does so, in part, through its oversight of our property acquisitions and assumptions of debt, as well as its oversight of our Company’s executive officers and our advisor. In particular, the board of directors may determine at any time to terminate the advisor, and must evaluate the performance of the advisor, andre-authorize the advisory agreement, on an annual basis.

In addition, the audit committee is responsible for assisting the board of directors in overseeing the Company’s management of risks related to financial reporting. The audit committee has general responsibility for overseeing the accounting and financial processes of the Company, including oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the adequacy of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The audit committee reviews any potential material issues that are raised related to the Company’s financial statements or accounting policies. Additionally, in connection with the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements, the audit committee conducts a detailed review with the Company’s independent auditors of the accounting policies used by the Company and its financial statement presentation.

12

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Ethics for Principal Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers (the “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics”) that is applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics may be located on our website at https://www.colecapital.com/governance-docs by clicking on “Cole Income NAV Strategy Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.” If, in the future, we amend, modify or waive a provision in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, we may, rather than filing a Current Report on Form 8-K, satisfy the disclosure requirement by posting such information on our website as necessary.

Compensation of Directors

Directors who are also officers or employees of the Company, our advisor or their affiliates (Messrs. Schorsch and Kahane) do not receive any special or additional remuneration for service on the board of directors or any of its committees. Each non-employee director receives compensation for service on the board of directors and any of its committees as provided below:

• an annual retainer of $50,000;

• $2,000 for each board meeting attended in person;

• an additional annual retainer of $7,500 to the chairman of the audit committee;

• $2,000 for each committee meeting attended in person (the audit committee chairperson receives an additional $500 per audit committee meeting for serving in that capacity);

• $250 per board or committee meeting attended by telephone conference; and

• in the event that there is a meeting of the board of directors and one or more committees on a single day, the fees paid to each director will be limited to $2,500 per day ($3,000 per day for the chairperson of the audit committee, if there is a meeting of that committee).

All directors receive reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the board of directors. Independent directors are not reimbursed by the Company, our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates for spouses’ expenses to attend events to which spouses are invited.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The Company does not have a standing compensation committee and we do not separately compensate our executive officers. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, one of our executive officers, Mr. McAllaster, and one of our former executive officers, Christopher H. Cole, both served as directors and executive officers of CCPT I, and as executive officers of CCPT II, CCPT III, CCIT, CCPT IV, CCIT II and CCPT V. In addition, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, Mr. Cole served as a director of CCPT II, CCPT III, CCIT, CCPT IV, CCIT II and CCPT V. Furthermore, since February 2014, one of our executive officers, Mr. Schorsch, serves as a director and executive officer of CCPT I, CCIT, CCPT IV, CCIT II and CCPT V. Because Messrs. Cole, McAllaster and Schorsch are or were also officers of our advisor and/or its affiliates, they did not receive any separate compensation from us for service as our executive officers and/or directors, and also did not receive any separate compensation from CCPT I, CCPT II, CCPT III, CCIT, CCPT IV, CCIT II and CCPT V for their service as executive officers and/or directors of those entities. See “Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons” below for a description of the transactions during the year ended December 31, 2013 between the Company and companies with which Messrs. Cole and McAllaster are or were affiliated.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires each director, officer and individual beneficially owning more than 10% of a registered security of the Company to file with the SEC, within specified time frames, initial statements of beneficial ownership (Form 3) and statements of changes in beneficial ownership (Forms 4 and 5) of common stock of the Company. Directors, officers and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all such forms they file. As of December 31, 2013, none of the Company’s securities were registered under the Exchange Act, and therefore, none of the Company’s directors, officers or greater than 10% beneficial owners were subject to these filing requirements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Compensation of Executive Officers

We have no employees.

As a result, we do not have, and our board of directors has not considered, a compensation policy or program for our executive officers. Accordingly, we have not included a Compensation Committee Report or a Compensation Discussion and Analysis in this proxy statement.

Our executive officers are also officers of Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors, our advisor, and/or its affiliates, and are compensated by these entities, in part, for their services to us. We pay fees to such entities under our advisory agreement and dealer manager agreement.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS AND AUDIT COMMITTEE

Independent Auditors

During the year ended December 31, 2013, Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte & Touche”) served as our independent auditors and provided certain tax and other services. Deloitte & Touche has served as our independent auditors since our formation. Deloitte & Touche representatives will be present at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so. In addition, the Deloitte & Touche representatives will be available to respond to appropriate questions posed by any stockholders. The audit committee has engaged Deloitte & Touche as our independent auditors to audit our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2014. The audit committee reserves the right, however, to select new auditors at any time in the future in its discretion if it deems such decision to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Any such decision would be disclosed to the stockholders in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The audit committee reviewed the audit and non-audit services performed by Deloitte & Touche, as well as the fees charged by Deloitte & Touche for such services. In its review of the non-audit services and fees, the audit committee considered whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the independence of Deloitte & Touche. The aggregate fees billed to us for professional accounting services, including the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements by Deloitte & Touche for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, are set forth in the table below.

	Year Ended December 31, 2013		Year Ended December 31, 2012
Audit fees	$	329,235	$	187,230
Audit-related fees		—		—
Tax fees		13,550		87,997
All other fees		—		—
Total	$	342,785	$	275,227

For purposes of the preceding table, Deloitte & Touche’s professional fees are classified as follows:

• Audit fees – These are fees for professional services performed for the audit of our annual financial statements and the required review of quarterly financial statements and other procedures performed by Deloitte & Touche in order for them to be able to form an opinion on our consolidated financial statements. These fees also cover services that are normally provided by independent auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements and other services that generally only the independent auditor reasonably can provide, such as services associated with filing registration statements, periodic reports and other filings with the SEC, audits of acquired properties or businesses, property audits required by loan agreements, and statutory audits for our subsidiaries or affiliates.

• Audit-related fees – These are fees for assurance and related services that traditionally are performed by independent auditors, such as due diligence related to acquisitions and dispositions, attestation services that are not required by statute or regulation, statutory subsidiary or equity investment audits incremental to the audit of the consolidated financial statements and general assistance with the implementation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other SEC rules promulgated pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

• Tax fees – These are fees for all professional services performed by professional staff in our independent auditor’s tax division, except those services related to the audit of our financial statements. These include fees for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice, including federal, state and local issues. Services may also include assistance with tax audits and appeals before the IRS and similar state and local agencies, as well as federal, state, and local tax issues related to due diligence.

18

• All other fees – These are fees for other permissible work performed that do not meet the above-described categories, including assistance with internal audit plans and risk assessments.

Pre-Approval Policies

The audit committee charter imposes a duty on the audit committee to pre-approve all auditing services performed for us by our independent auditors, as well as all permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) in order to ensure that the provision of such services does not impair the auditors’ independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent auditors has received “general” pre-approval, it will require “specific” pre-approval by the audit committee.

All requests for services to be provided by the independent auditor that do not require specific pre-approval by the audit committee will be submitted to management and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. Management will determine whether such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the audit committee. The audit committee will be informed on a timely basis of any such services rendered by the independent auditors.

Requests to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the audit committee will be submitted to the audit committee by both the independent auditors and the principal financial officer, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The chairman of the audit committee has been delegated the authority to specifically pre-approve de minimis amounts for services not covered by the general pre-approval guidelines. All amounts, other than such de minimis amounts, require specific pre-approval by the audit committee prior to engagement of Deloitte & Touche. All amounts, other than de minimis amounts not subject to pre-approval, specifically pre-approved by the chairman of the audit committee in accordance with this policy are to be disclosed to the full audit committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting.

All services rendered by Deloitte & Touche for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 werepre-approved in accordance with the policies and procedures described above.

Report of the Audit Committee

Pursuant to the audit committee charter adopted by our board of directors, the audit committee’s primary function is to assist the board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by overseeing the independent auditors and reviewing the financial information to be provided to the stockholders and others, the system of internal control over financial reporting that management has established and the audit and financial-reporting process. The audit committee is composed of two independent directors. Our management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal control over financial reporting. Membership on the audit committee does not call for the professional training and technical skills generally associated with career professionals in the field of accounting and auditing, and the members of the audit committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of accounting or auditing. The audit committee’s role does not provide any special assurance with regard to the financial statements of the Company, nor does it involve a professional evaluation of the quality of the audits performed by the independent auditors. The audit committee relies in part, without independent verification, on information provided to it and on representations made by management and the independent auditors that the financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

In this context, in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the audit committee reviewed the 2013 audited financial statements with management, including a discussion of the quality and acceptability of the financial reporting and controls of the Company.

19

The audit committee reviewed with Deloitte & Touche, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standard No. 16,Communications with Audit Committees, and their judgments as to the quality and the acceptability of the financial statements and such other matters as are required to be discussed by the applicable auditing standards as periodically amended (including significant accounting policies, alternative accounting treatments and estimates, judgments and uncertainties). In addition, the audit committee has received the written disclosures from the independent registered public accounting firm required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, “Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence” and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence within the meaning of the rules and standards of the PCAOB and the securities laws and regulations administered by the SEC.

The audit committee discussed with Deloitte & Touche the overall scope and plans for the audit. The audit committee meets periodically with Deloitte & Touche, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of internal controls and the overall quality of the financial reporting of the Company.

In reliance on these reviews and discussions, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors that the 2013 audited financial statements of the Company be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for filing with the SEC.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS, PROMOTERS AND CERTAIN CONTROL PERSONS

Our independent directors have reviewed the material transactions between our affiliates and us during the year ended December 31, 2013. Set forth below is a description of the transactions with affiliates. We believe that we have executed all of the transactions set forth below on terms that are fair and reasonable to the Company and on terms no less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

Advisory Agreement

We are party to an Advisory Agreement with Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors whereby Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors manages our day-to-day operations and identifies and makes investments on our behalf. In return, we pay to Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors an advisory fee that is payable in arrears on a monthly basis and accrues daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 0.90% of our net asset value (“NAV”) for each day. Advisory fees for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $375,000. We also reimburse Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors for expenses incurred in connection with the provision of advisory services; provided, however, that Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors agreed to waive its right to such expense reimbursement from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. In addition, we reimburse Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors for acquisition expenses incurred in the connection with the acquisition of our investments; provided, however, that Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors agreed to waive its right to such expense reimbursement from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. Furthermore, we reimburse the expenses incurred by Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors in connection with its provision of administrative services to us, including related personnel costs, subject to the limitation that we do not reimburse Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors for any amount by which the operating expenses (which exclude, among other things, the expenses of raising capital, interest payments, taxes, non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and bad debt reserves, and acquisition fees and acquisition expenses) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceed the greater of (i) 2.0% of average invested assets, or (ii) 25.0% of net income other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debt or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period; provided, however, that Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors agreed to waive its right to such expense reimbursement from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.

Additionally, we are required to pay to Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors a performance-based fee calculated based on our annual total return to stockholders, payable annually in arrears. The performance fee will be calculated such that for any calendar year in which the total return per share for a particular class exceeds 6%, which we refer to as the 6% return, Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors will receive 25% of the excess total return above the 6% return allocable to that class, but in no event will we pay Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors more than 10% of the aggregate total return for that class for such year. However, in the event the NAV per share of our Wrap Class shares (“W Shares”), Advisor Class shares (“A Shares”) and Institutional Class shares (“I Shares”) decreases below the base NAV (the “Base NAV”) for the respective share class ($15.00, $16.72 and $16.82 for our W Shares, A Shares and I Shares, respectively), the performance-based fee will not be calculated on any increase in NAV up to the Base NAV of that class. In addition, the performance fee will not be paid with respect to any calendar year in which the NAV per share as of the last business day of the calendar year (the “Ending NAV”) for the respective share class is less than the Base NAV of that class. The Base NAV of any share class is subject to downward adjustment in the event that our board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors, determines that such an adjustment is necessary to provide an appropriate incentive to our advisor to perform in a manner that seeks to maximize stockholder value and is in the best interests of our stockholders. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or similar change in our capital structure, the Base NAV for the respective share class shall be ratably adjusted to reflect the effect of any such event. Performance fees for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $431,000.

Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors incurs expenses in connection with our organization and our public offering of our common stock. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, we reimburse Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors up to 0.75% of our gross offering proceeds with respect to those expenses. During the year

21

ended December 31, 2013, we incurred $406,000 of organization and offering expense reimbursements payable to Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors.

Our Advisory Agreement has a one-year term expiring November 30, 2014, subject to an unlimited number of successive one-year renewals upon mutual consent of the parties. Our independent directors are required to determine, at least annually, that the compensation to Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services performed and the investment performance of the Company and that such compensation is within the limits set forth in our Charter.

Nicholas S. Schorsch, our chief executive officer, president and chairman of our board of directors, is the chief executive officer of Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors. D. Kirk McAllaster, Jr., our executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer, is the executive vice president and chief financial officer of Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors. Prior to the Cole Holdings Merger (as defined below), Christopher H. Cole, our former chief executive officer, president and chairman of our board of directors, indirectly owned 100% of the ownership and voting interests of Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors.

On April 5, 2013, CCPT III acquired our sponsor pursuant to a transaction whereby Cole Holdings Corporation merged with and into CREInvestments, LLC (“CREI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCPT III (the “Cole Holdings Merger”). Prior to the Cole Holdings Merger, Cole Holdings Corporation was wholly-owned by Mr. Cole. Cole Holdings Corporation was also an affiliate of our sponsor, the parent company and indirect owner of Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors, and the indirect owner of our dealer manager. As a result of the Cole Holdings Merger, Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors became wholly-owned by CREI.

On February 7, 2014, ARCP acquired our sponsor pursuant to a transaction whereby Cole Real Estate Investments, Inc. merged with and into Clark Acquisition, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ARCP (“Merger Sub”), with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of ARCP (the “ARCP Merger”). ARCP is a self-managed publicly traded Maryland corporation listed on The NASDAQ Global Select Market, focused on acquiring and owning single tenant freestanding commercial properties subject to net leases with high credit quality tenants. Mr. Schorsch, our chief executive officer, president and chairman of our board of directors, is the chairman and chief executive officer of ARCP.

As a result of the ARCP Merger, ARCP indirectly owns and/or controls Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors, Cole Capital Corporation, CREI Advisors, LLC, and our sponsor. Despite the indirect change of control of Cole Corporate Income Advisors, we expect that Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors will continue to serve as our advisor.

Dealer Manager Agreement

We are party to a Dealer Manager Agreement with Cole Capital Corporation, the dealer manager in our public offering. We may charge a selling commission on A Shares sold of up to 3.75% of the offering price per share for A Shares on the date of purchase, which we will pay to Cole Capital Corporation. Cole Capital Corporation reallows 100% of such selling commissions to participating broker-dealers. We also pay to Cole Capital Corporation an asset-based dealer manager fee that is payable in arrears on a monthly basis and accrues daily in an amount equal to (1) 1/365th of 0.55% of our NAV for W Shares for such day, (2) 1/365th of 0.55% of our NAV for A Shares for such day and (3) 1/365th of 0.25% of our NAV for I Shares for such day. At Cole Capital Corporation’s discretion, it may reallow a portion of the dealer manager fee received on W Shares, A Shares and I Shares to participating broker dealers. Additionally, we pay Cole Capital Corporation 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 our NAV for A Shares for such day. At our dealer manager’s discretion it may reallow a portion of the distribution fee to participating broker-dealers. We will cease paying the selling commission, dealer manager fee and distribution fee at the date at which, in the aggregate, underwriting compensation from all sources, including the selling commission, dealer manager fee, distribution fee and other underwriting

22

compensation paid by us and by Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors and its affiliates, equals 10% of the gross proceeds from our primary offering (i.e. excluding proceeds from sales pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan), calculated as of the same date that we calculate the aggregate dealer manager fee. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we paid to Cole Capital Corporation commissions and fees totaling $245,000, of which $23,000 was reallowed to participating broker-dealers.

Nicholas S. Schorsch, our chief executive officer, president and chairman of our board of directors also is the sole director of Cole Capital Corporation. Christopher H. Cole, our former chief executive officer, president and chairman of our board of directors, was the sole director of Cole Capital Corporation and prior to the Cole Holdings Merger, indirectly owned 100% of the ownership and voting interests of Cole Capital Corporation.

Despite the indirect change of control of Cole Capital Corporation as a result of the Cole Holdings Merger and the ARCP Merger, we expect that Cole Capital Corporation will continue to serve as our dealer manager.

Certain Conflict Resolution Procedures

In order to reduce or eliminate certain potential conflicts of interest, our charter contains a number of restrictions relating to transactions we may enter into with Cole Income NAV Strategy Advisors and its affiliates and the allocation of investment opportunities among ARCP and Cole Capital-sponsored programs. These restrictions include, among others, the following:

• We will not purchase or lease properties from our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their respective affiliates, unless (1) a majority of the directors, including a majority of the independent directors, who are not otherwise interested in such transaction determines that such transaction is fair and reasonable to us, and (2) either (A) the purchase price is no greater than the cost of the property to the seller, including acquisition-related expenses, or (B) a majority of the independent directors determines that there is substantial justification for any amount above such cost and that the difference is reasonable. In no event will we acquire any property from an affiliate at an amount in excess of its current appraised value as determined by an independent appraiser.

• We will not sell or lease properties to our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their respective affiliates, unless (1) a majority of the directors, including a majority of the independent directors, who are not otherwise interested in such transaction determines that such transaction is fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions not less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties, and (2) either (A) the sale is greater than the cost of the property to us, including acquisition-related expenses, or (B) a majority of the independent directors determines that there is substantial justification for any amount below such cost, and that the difference is reasonable. In no event will we sell any property to an affiliate at an amount less than its current appraised value as determined by an independent appraiser.

• Our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors and any of their respective affiliates will not make loans to us, except that we may borrow funds from affiliates of our advisor, including our sponsor, as bridge financing to enable us to acquire a property when offering proceeds alone are insufficient to do so and third party financing has not been arranged or is insufficient. Any and all such transactions must be approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, who are not otherwise interested in such transactions as being fair and reasonable to us.

• In the event that an investment opportunity becomes available that may be suitable for both us and ARCP or one or more other Cole Capital-sponsored program, and for which more than one of such entities has sufficient uninvested funds, then our advisor, and the advisors of the other programs, with

23

oversight by their respective boards of directors, will examine the following factors, among others, in determining the entity for which the investment opportunity is most appropriate:

• the investment objective of each entity;

• the anticipated operating cash flows of each entity and the cash requirements of each entity;

• the effect of the acquisition on diversification of each entity’s investments by type of property, geographic area and tenant concentration;

• the amount of funds available to each program and the length of time such funds have been available for investment;

• the policy of each program relating to leverage of properties;

• the income tax effects of the purchase to each entity; and

• the size of the investment.

If, in the judgment of the advisors, the 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 single-tenant or multi-tenant retail) will first be offered such investment opportunity.

If a subsequent development, such as a delay in the closing of the acquisition or a delay in the construction of a property, causes any such investment, in the opinion of the advisors, to be more appropriate for an entity other than the entity that committed to make the investment, the advisors may determine that ARCP or another program sponsored by Cole Capital will make the investment. Our board of directors, including the independent directors, oversees the allocation process to ensure that the method used for the allocation of the acquisition of properties by ARCP or two or more Cole Capital-sponsored programs seeking to acquire similar types of properties is applied fairly to us.
