American Realty Capital Trust IV Eliminates Asset Management Fees During Offering Period

NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- American Realty Capital Trust IV, Inc. ("ARCT IV" or the "Company") announced today that its board of directors and management mutually agreed to eliminate the payment of asset management fees to its advisor during the life of the Company's offering. Instead of cash or restricted stock as previously approved, effective immediately, the Company's advisor will receive operating partnership units ("OP units"), which will constitute profits interest and will be forfeited unless a performance hurdle is met. Going forward, the OP units would be received on a quarterly basis.

The OP units will only vest to the extent 100% of shareholder capital is returned plus payment to investors of an annual 6% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded return on the capital contributed by investors.

"As a part of our ongoing efforts to implement best practices to the non-traded REIT industry, we believe that making asset management fees subject to a performance hurdle and shareholder return immediately from inception sets the new standard for aligning our interest with our investors," stated Nicholas S. Schorsch , chairman and chief executive officer of ARCT IV.
