OPERATING INFORMATION

Status of the Offering

We commenced our reasonable best efforts initial public offering of up to 80.0 million shares of common stock on January 7, 2014 (excluding shares to be issued under the distribution reinvestment plan, or DRIP). On February 3, 2014, we satisfied the general escrow conditions of our initial public offering of common stock. On such date, we received and accepted aggregate subscriptions equal to the minimum of $2.0 million in shares of common stock, broke escrow and issued shares to AR Capital, LLC, the parent of our sponsor, in the amount of $0.5 million at a purchase price of $22.50 per share. On June 30, 2014, we received and accepted aggregate subscriptions in excess of $20.0 million in shares of common stock and broke escrow in Ohio and Washington. On September 12, 2014, we received and accepted aggregate subscriptions in excess of $100.0 million in shares of common stock and broke escrow in Pennsylvania. Accordingly, we are now accepting subscriptions from residents of all states.

We will offer shares of our common stock until January 7, 2016, unless the offering is extended in accordance with the Prospectus, provided that the offering will be terminated if all 80.0 million shares of our common stock are sold before such date (subject to our right to reallocate shares offered pursuant to the DRIP for sale in our primary offering).

Closing of Grace Acquisition

On February 27, 2015, we closed the acquisition of a portfolio of 116 hotel assets (the “Grace Portfolio”). The aggregate purchase price of the Grace Portfolio was approximately $1.8 billion, exclusive of closing costs. We funded approximately $230.1 million of the purchase price with cash-on-hand raised in our initial public offering, approximately $903.9 million through the assumption of existing indebtedness collateralized by 96 of the hotels in the Grace Portfolio and approximately $227.0 million by incurring new indebtedness collateralized by the remaining 20 hotels in the Grace Portfolio and one of our existing hotels. The remaining $447.1 million of the purchase price was satisfied by the issuance to affiliates of the sellers of the Grace Portfolio of preferred equity interests in two of our indirect subsidiaries that are indirect owners of the 116 hotels comprising the Grace Portfolio.

Management and Accounting Firm Updates

Effective February 3, 2014, pursuant to the approval of our audit committee, we dismissed Grant Thornton LLP, or Grant Thornton, and engaged KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm effective as of that same date. Grant Thornton’s reports on our financial statements as of August 7, 2013 and our financial statements of our predecessor portfolio did not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinions and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Our dismissal of Grant Thornton was not the result of any disagreements with Grant Thornton.

On May 23, 2014, Amy B. Boyle resigned from her roles as chief financial officer, treasurer and secretary of the Company, effective as of that same date. Ms. Boyle did not resign pursuant to any disagreement with the Company. Simultaneously with Ms. Boyle’s resignation, the board of directors of the Company, or the Board, appointed Nicholas Radesca to serve as the Company’s interim chief financial officer, treasurer and secretary. Mr. Radesca subsequently resigned once we appointed a new chief financial officer.

On September 12, 2014, Portia Sue Perrotty resigned as a member of the Board. Ms. Perrotty did not resign pursuant to any disagreement with the Company. Ms. Perrotty had served as an independent director and as a member of our audit committee since September 2013. Simultaneous with Ms. Perrotty’s resignation, the Board appointed Robert H. Burns as a member of the Board and our audit committee in accordance with the terms of the Company’s bylaws. For a description of Mr. Burns’ experience, see his biography set forth under “Prospectus Updates — Management” below.

On November 20, 2014, the Board appointed Jonathan P. Mehlman, the executive vice president and chief investment officer of the Company, to serve as the Company’s chief executive officer and president. Mr. Mehlman also serves as co-chief executive officer and president of the Company’s advisor and as chief executive officer and president of the Company’s property manager. Simultaneously with his appointment as chief executive officer and president of the Company, Mr. Mehlman resigned from his roles as executive vice

president and chief investment officer of the Company, the Company’s advisor and the Company’s property manager. In connection with Mr. Mehlman’s appointment as chief executive officer and president of the Company, William M. Kahane resigned from his roles as chief executive officer and president of the Company. Mr. Kahane also resigned from his roles as co-chief executive officer and president of the Company’s advisor and as chief executive officer and president of the Company’s property manager. Mr. Kahane continued to serve in his capacity as a director of the Company.

On December 10, 2014, the Board appointed Edward T. Hoganson, previously the executive vice president of the Company’s sub-property manager, to serve as the Company’s chief financial officer, treasurer and secretary effective as of December 15, 2014. Mr. Hoganson also serves as chief financial officer, treasurer and secretary of the Company’s advisor and property manager. In connection with Mr. Hoganson’s appointment as chief financial officer, treasurer and secretary of the Company, Nicholas Radesca resigned from his roles as interim chief financial officer, treasurer and secretary of the Company and of the Company’s advisor and property manager.

On December 29, 2014, the Board appointed William M. Kahane, then a member of the Board, to serve as executive chairman of the Board, effective as of that same date. In connection with Mr. Kahane’s appointment as executive chairman of the Board, Nicholas S. Schorsch resigned from his role as chairman of the Board.

Simultaneously with the resignation of Mr. Schorsch, the Board took action to reduce the number of directors constituting the entire Board to four directors pursuant to Article III, Section 2 of the Company’s bylaws, with such reduction in size of the Board being effective immediately following the resignation of Mr. Schorsch.

In addition, on December 29, 2014, the Board appointed Stanley R. Perla, then an independent director and chairman of our audit committee, as lead independent director.

Engagement of Deloitte & Touche, LLP

On December 19, 2014, AR Capital, LLC, the parent of our sponsor, engaged Deloitte & Touche, LLP, or Deloitte, to provide outsourced internal audit services on behalf of the publicly registered, nontraded companies that AR Capital, LLC directly or indirectly sponsors, including the Company. Pursuant to the engagement, Deloitte works with our management to develop an annual risk-based internal audit work plan and budget which will be presented to our audit committee for approval, provide our audit committee with a quarterly update on its work and formally report the results of its work to our audit committee.

Shares Currently Available for Sale

As of February 27, 2015, there were 13.8 million shares of our common stock outstanding. As of February 27, 2015, there were approximately 66.2 million shares of our common stock available for sale, excluding shares available under our DRIP.

Distributions

On February 3, 2014, the Board authorized, and we began declaring, distributions payable to stockholders of record each day during the applicable period at a rate equal to $0.00465753425 per share per day or $1.70 per annum. Distributions are payable on the first business day following each month-end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month. There can be no assurance that we will continue to pay distributions to our stockholders in any particular amount, at any particular time, or at all.

The amount of distributions payable to our stockholders is determined by the Board and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for distribution; requirements of Maryland law; and annual distribution requirements needed to qualify and maintain our status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Board may reduce the amount of distributions paid or suspend distribution payments. There is no assurance that we will continue paying distributions at the current rate or on the current schedule, if at all.

Our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions in unlimited amounts from any source, including proceeds from this offering, which will reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in properties or other permitted investments, and may negatively impact the value of your investment.

The paragraph under the question “What are the fees that you pay to your advisor, your property manager, your sub-property manager, your dealer manager, their affiliates and your directors?” on page 13 of the Prospectus is hereby replaced with the following disclosure.

“Our advisor and its affiliates have received, and will receive, compensation and reimbursement for services relating to this offering and our ordinary course of operations. In addition, we have entered into agreements outside of our ordinary course of operations that provide for additional compensation to an affiliate of our dealer manager in connection with the acquisition (the “Grace Acquisition”) of the fee simple or leasehold interests in 116 hotels (the “Portfolio”) we completed on February 27, 2015. See “Conflicts of Interest — Agreements with RCAP Related to the Grace Acquisition.” The most significant items of compensation and reimbursement are included in the table below. We reimburse our advisor on a monthly basis for offering and organization expense advances that our advisor or any of its affiliates may incur on our behalf, but only to the extent that such reimbursement would not exceed 2.0% of gross offering proceeds over the life of this offering. In the sole discretion of our advisor, our advisor may elect to have certain fees and commissions (not including any asset management fees) paid, in whole or in part, in cash or shares of our common stock. Once the proceeds for this offering have been fully invested, the aggregate amount of acquisition fees and financing coordination fees may not exceed 1.9% of the contract purchase price for all of the assets acquired. Pursuant to our charter, the total amount of acquisition fees, acquisition expense reimbursements, financing coordination fees, disposition fees and subordinated distributions by the operating partnership payable to the advisor (or its assignees), together with the fair market value of any shares of restricted stock granted under our restricted share plan, in the aggregate from inception to a liquidity event, may not exceed (a) 6% of all properties’ aggregate gross contract purchase price, (b) as determined each quarter for the preceding four consecutive fiscal quarters, the greater, in the aggregate, of 2% of average invested assets and 25% of net income other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debt, impairments or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period, (c) disposition fees, if any, of up to 3% of the contract sales price of all properties that we sell and (d) 15% of remaining net sales proceeds after return of capital contributions plus payment to investors of a 6% cumulative, pre-tax, non-compounded return on the capital contributed by investors. For a more detailed discussion of compensation, see the table included in the “Management Compensation” section of this prospectus, including the footnotes thereto.”

Risk Factors

The following disclosure is hereby added as the first risk factor on page 30 of the Prospectus.

“Disclosures made by American Realty Capital Properties, Inc., or ARCP, an entity previously sponsored by the parent of our sponsor may adversely affect our ability to raise substantial funds.

Beginning in October 2014, and including disclosures made on March 2, 2015, ARCP, an entity previously sponsored by the parent of our sponsor has disclosed various items that have had a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition. These items include the need to restate previously issued financial statements that were intentionally not corrected, a lack of effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as well as the presence of various regulatory investigations. See “Prior Performance Summary — Adverse Business Developments and Conditions.”

Since the initial announcement in October, a number of participating broker-dealers temporarily suspended their participation in the distribution of our offering. Although certain of these broker-dealers have reinstated their participation, we cannot predict the length of time the remaining temporary suspensions will continue or whether all participating broker-dealers will reinstate their participation in the distribution of our offering. As a result, our ability to raise substantial funds may be adversely impacted.”

The following risk factor replaces in its entirety the risk factor under the heading “Distributions paid from sources other than our cash flow from operations, particularly from proceeds of this offering, will result in us having fewer funds available for the acquisition of properties and other real estate-related investments and may dilute your interests in us, which may adversely affect our ability to fund future distributions with cash flows from operations and may adversely affect your overall return.” beginning on page 32 of the Prospectus.

“Since our inception, all of our distributions have been paid from offering proceeds. Distributions paid from sources other than our cash flows from operations, particularly from proceeds of this offering, will result in us having fewer funds available for the acquisition of properties and other real estate-related investments and may dilute your interests in us, which may adversely affect our ability to fund future distributions with cash flows from operations and may adversely affect your overall return.

Our cash flows used in operations were $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and we have had negative cash flows from operations since our inception, in July 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we paid distributions of $0.8 million, all of which was funded from offering proceeds, including offering proceeds which were reinvested in common stock issued pursuant to the DRIP. Since our inception, all of our distributions have been paid from offering proceeds.

We expect that future distributions will be paid from our cash flow from operations following the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio, but there can be no assurance we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to do so. We may continue in the future to pay distributions from sources other than from our cash flows from operations, including the net proceeds from this offering.

Using proceeds from our offering to pay distributions, especially if the distributions are not reinvested through our DRIP, reduces cash available for investment in assets or other purposes and will likely reduce our per share stockholder equity.

We may continue not to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to fully pay distributions, and our ability to use cash flows from operations to pay distributions in the future may also be adversely impacted by our substantial indebtedness. See “— As a result of the additional indebtedness incurred and the issuance of the preferred equity interests to acquire the Grace Portfolio, we may experience a potential material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.” If we have not generated sufficient cash flows from our operations and other sources, such as from borrowings, the sale of additional securities, advances from our advisor, and our advisor’s deferral, suspension or waiver of its fees and expense reimbursements, to fund distributions, we may continue to use the proceeds from our offering, although we currently intend to use all of the proceeds from our offering to reduce our borrowings, which could limit our ability to pay distribution from proceeds from our offering for some time. See “— We intend to use substantially all

S-10


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

available offering proceeds following the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio to reduce our borrowings to our intended limit, which may limit our ability to pay distributions or acquire additional properties for some time.” Moreover, our board of directors may change our distribution policy, in its sole discretion, at any time. Distributions made from offering proceeds are a return of capital to stockholders, from which we will have already paid offering expenses in connection with our IPO. We have not established any limit on the amount of proceeds from our offering that may be used to fund distributions, except that, in accordance with our organizational documents and Maryland law, we may not make distributions that would: (1) cause us to be unable to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; (2) cause our total assets to be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus senior liquidation preferences, if any; or (3) jeopardize our ability to qualify as a REIT.

Funding distributions from borrowings could restrict the amount we can borrow for investments, which may, among other things, affect our earnings. Funding distributions with the sale of assets or the proceeds of our offering may affect our ability to generate additional operating cash flows. Funding distributions from the sale of additional securities could dilute your interest in us if we sell shares of our common stock or securities that are convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock to third-party investors. Payment of distributions from the mentioned sources could restrict our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, affect our earnings or affect the distributions payable to you upon a liquidity event, any or all of which may have an adverse effect on your investment.”

The first sentence of the risk factor titled “Our ability to implement our investment strategy is dependent, in part, upon the ability of our dealer manager to successfully conduct this offering, which makes an investment in us more speculative” on page 32 of the Prospectus is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following disclosure.

“We have retained our dealer manager, which is owned by an entity under common control with the parent of our sponsor, to conduct this offering.”

The first sentence under the risk factor entitled “The loss of or the inability to obtain key real estate professionals at our advisor, our sub-property manager or our dealer manager could delay or hinder implementation of our investment strategies, which could limit our ability to make distributions and decrease the value of your investment” on page 35 of the Prospectus is hereby replaced with the following disclosure.

“Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of Messrs. Wardinski, Mehlman and Hoganson at our advisor and Edward M. Weil, Jr., William E. Dwyer III and Louisa H. Quarto at our dealer manager, as well as Mr. Carroll and Mr. Donahue at our sub-property manager.”

The following disclosure hereby replaces the risk factor “Our advisor and its affiliates, including some of our executive officers, directors and other key real estate professionals, face conflicts of interest caused by their compensation arrangements with us, which could result in actions that are not in the long-term best interests of our stockholders” on page 38 of the Prospectus.

“Our advisor and its affiliates, including some of our executive officers, directors and other key real estate professionals, face conflicts of interest caused by their compensation arrangements with us, which could result in actions that are not in the long-term best interests of our stockholders.

Our advisor and its affiliates receive fees from us, which could be substantial. These fees could influence our advisor’s advice to us as well as its judgment with respect to:

the continuation, renewal or enforcement of our agreements with affiliates of our sponsor, including the advisory agreement, the property management agreements, the dealer-manager agreement and the sub-property management agreements between our property manager and sub-property manager;
public offerings of equity by us, which will likely entitle our advisor to increased acquisition fees and asset management subordinated participation interests;
sales of properties and other investments to third parties, which entitle our advisor and the special limited partner to real estate commissions and possible subordinated incentive distributions, respectively;

S-11


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

acquisitions of properties and other investments from other programs sponsored directly or indirectly by the parent of our sponsor, which might entitle affiliates of our sponsor to real estate commissions and possible subordinated incentive fees and distributions in connection with its services for the seller;
acquisitions of properties and other investments from third parties and loan originations to third parties, which entitle our advisor to acquisition fees and asset management subordinated participation interests;
borrowings to acquire properties and other investments and to originate loans, which borrowings generate financing coordination fees and increase the acquisition fees and asset management subordinated participation interests payable to our advisor;
whether and when we seek to list our common stock on a national securities exchange, which listing could entitle the special limited partner to a subordinated incentive listing distribution; and
whether and when we seek to sell the company or its assets, which sale could entitle our advisor to a subordinated participation in net sales proceeds.

The fees our advisor receives in connection with transactions involving the acquisition of assets are based initially on the purchase price of the investment, including the amount of any loan originations, and are not based on the quality of the investment or the quality of the services rendered to us. This may influence our advisor to recommend riskier transactions to us, and our advisor may have an incentive to incur a high level of leverage. In addition, because the fees are based on the purchase price of the investment, it may create an incentive for our advisor to recommend that we purchase assets at higher prices. In addition, from time to time, subject to the approval of a majority of our independent directors, we may engage one or more entities under common ownership with the parent of our sponsor or our advisor to provide services not provided under existing agreements described in this prospectus, such as the agreements entered into with affiliates of our dealer manager in connection with the Grace Acquisition, and these agreements may create similar incentives. See “Conflicts of Interest — Agreements with RCAP Related to the Grace Acquisition.””

The second sentence of the risk factor titled “Because other real estate programs sponsored directly or indirectly by the parent of our sponsor and offered through our dealer manager may conduct offerings concurrently with our offering, our sponsor and our dealer manager face potential conflicts of interest arising from competition among us and these other programs for investors and investment capital, and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor” on page 39 of the Prospectus is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following disclosure.

“Our dealer manager, which is owned by an entity under common control with the parent of our sponsor, is the dealer manager or is named in the registration statement as the dealer manager in a number of ongoing public offerings by non-traded REITs, including some offerings sponsored directly or indirectly by the parent of our sponsor.”

The risk factor titled “Because our dealer manager is owned by an entity under common ownership with the parent of our sponsor, you will not have the benefit of an independent due diligence review of us, which is customarily performed in underwritten offerings; the absence of an independent due diligence review increases the risks and uncertainty you face as a stockholder” on page 47 of the Prospectus is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following disclosure.

“Because our dealer manager is owned by an entity under common control with the parent of our sponsor, you will not have the benefit of an independent due diligence review of us, which is customarily performed in underwritten offerings; the absence of an independent due diligence review increases the risks and uncertainty you face as a stockholder.

Our dealer manager is owned by an entity which is under common control with the parent of our sponsor. Because of such relationship, our dealer manager’s due diligence review and investigation of us and the prospectus cannot be considered to be “independent.” Therefore, you will not have the benefit of an independent review and investigation of this offering of the type normally performed by an unaffiliated, independent underwriter in a public securities offering.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The first sentence of the risk factor titled “Payment of fees to our advisor and its affiliates reduces cash available for investment and distribution and increases the risk that our stockholders will not be able to recover the amount of their investment in our shares” on page 47 of the Prospectus is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following disclosure.

“Our advisor, its affiliates and entities under common control with our advisor perform services for us in connection with the sale of shares in this offering, the performance of transfer agency services, the selection and acquisition of our investments, the coordination of financing, the management and leasing of our properties, the administration of our other investments, as well as the performance of other administrative responsibilities for us including accounting services, transaction management services and investor relations.”

The following disclosure is hereby added immediately after the risk factor “Acquiring or attempting to acquire multiple properties in a single transaction may adversely affect our operations.” on page 55 of the Prospectus.

“We have a history of operating losses and cannot assure you that we will achieve profitability.

Since inception in July 2013 through September 30, 2014, we have incurred net losses (calculated in accordance with GAAP) equal to $8.9 million. The extent of our future operating losses and the timing of the profitability are highly uncertain, and we may never achieve or sustain profitability.

Our earnings and FFO per share may decline as a result of the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio.

Our earnings and FFO per share may decline as a result of, among other things, our failure to achieve the expected benefits of, or the incurrence of unanticipated costs relating to, the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio.

The risks associated with our acquisition of the Grace Portfolio include, without limitation, the following:

the integration of the Grace Portfolio, which is substantially larger than our portfolio prior to the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio, may be difficult, and we may be unable to successfully integrate operations, maintain consistent standards, controls, policies and procedures;
the integration of the Grace Portfolio may disrupt our ongoing operations or the ongoing operations of the Grace Portfolio, and our management’s attention may be diverted away from other business concerns;
the Grace Portfolio may fail to perform as expected and market conditions may result in lower than expected occupancy and room rates;
we may spend more than budgeted amounts to make necessary improvements or renovations to the Grace Portfolio;
some of the properties in the Grace Portfolio are located in unfamiliar markets where we face risks associated with an incomplete knowledge or understanding of the local market, a limited number of established business relationships in the area and a relative unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures; and
the Grace Portfolio may subject us to liabilities and without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, with respect to unknown liabilities (i.e. if a liability were asserted against us based upon ownership of the Grace Portfolio, we might have to pay substantial sums to settle it, which could adversely affect our cash flow).

We intend to pay distributions from cash flows from operations following the completion of the Grace Acquisitions, but our ability to do so depends on our ability to realize the expected benefits of the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio. Failure to realize the expected benefits of the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio, within the anticipated timeframe or at all, or the incurrence of unexpected costs, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay distributions from cash flow from operations.

S-13


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As a result of the additional indebtedness incurred and the issuance of the preferred equity interests to acquire the Grace Portfolio, we may experience a potential material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

On February 27, 2015, we acquired the Grace Portfolio. We funded the purchase price through a combination of $230.1 million in cash on-hand funded with proceeds from this offering, the assumption of $903.9 million in existing mezzanine and mortgage indebtedness collateralized by 96 of the 116 hotels in the Grace Portfolio, which we also refer to as the Assumed Grace Indebtedness, the incurrence of $227.0 million in new mortgage financing for the remaining 20 hotels and one of our existing hotels, which we refer to as the Additional Grace Mortgage Loan and, together with the Assumed Grace Indebtedness, as the Grace Indebtedness, and the issuance of $447.1 million in preferred equity interests, which we refer to as the Grace Preferred Equity Interests.

Our incurrence of the Grace Indebtedness and the issuance of the Grace Preferred Equity Interests could also have adverse consequences on our business, such as:

requiring us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service the Grace Indebtedness and pay distributions on the Grace Preferred Equity Interests;
limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund our working capital needs, acquisitions, capital expenditures or other debt service requirements or for other purposes;
increasing the costs of incurring additional debt;
increasing our exposure to floating interest rates;
limiting our ability to compete with other companies that are not as highly leveraged, as we may be less capable of responding to adverse economic and industry conditions;
restricting us from making strategic acquisitions, developing properties or exploiting business opportunities;
restricting the way in which we conduct our business because of financial and operating covenants in the agreements governing the Grace Indebtedness, including the rights of our lenders to consent before we modify hotel management agreements or franchise agreements and that require us to replace sub-property managers under certain circumstances;
consent rights the holders of the Grace Preferred Equity Interests will have over major actions by us relating to the Grace Portfolio, including the sale of certain hotels;
if we are unable to satisfy the redemption, distribution, or other requirements of the Grace Preferred Equity Interests (including if there is a default under the related guarantees provided by our company, our operating partnership and the individual principals of the parent of our sponsors), holders of the Grace Preferred Equity Interests will have certain rights, including the ability to assume control of the operations of the Grace Portfolio;
exposing us to potential events of default (if not cured or waived) under covenants contained in our debt instruments that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results;
increasing our vulnerability to a downturn in general economic conditions; and
limiting our ability to react to changing market conditions in our industry.

The impact of any of these potential adverse consequences could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We intend to use substantially all available offering proceeds following the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio to reduce our borrowings to our intended limit, which may limit our ability to pay distributions or acquire additional properties for some time.

Prior to our entry into an agreement to acquire the Grace Portfolio in May 2014, a majority of our independent directors waived the total portfolio leverage requirement of our charter with respect to the

S-14


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

acquisition of the Grace Portfolio should such total portfolio leverage exceed 300% of our total “net assets” (as defined in our charter) upon closing of the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio. Following the closing of the Grace Acquisition, our total portfolio leverage significantly exceeded this 300% limit, and we expect it will continue to do so for some time. Accordingly, we intend to use substantially all available offering proceeds following the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio to reduce our borrowings to our intended limit, which is below the 300% maximum limit. See “Investment Criteria and Objectives  — Investment Limitations” for further details.

The $63.1 million principal amount outstanding under the BCC Note (defined under “Description of Real Estate Investments — Financial Obligations — BCC Note”) matures, by its terms, ten business days after the date we raise $70.0 million in common equity in our offering following the closing of the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio and payment of all acquisition related expenses (including payments to our advisor and its affiliates). In addition, following the earlier to occur of either (i) the repayment of the BCC Note, together with the $3.5 million deferred payment due concurrently, or (ii) the date the gross amount of proceeds from our offering we receive after the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio and payment of all acquisition related expenses (including payments to our advisor and its affiliates) exceeds $100.0 million, we are required to use 35% of any equity proceeds from our offering to redeem the Grace Preferred Equity Interests at par, up to a maximum of $350.0 million in redemptions for any 12-month period. We are required to redeem 50% of the Grace Preferred Equity Interests by February 27, 2018 and 100% of the Grace Preferred Equity Interests upon the earlier of (i) 90 days following the stated maturity (including extension options) under the Grace Indebtedness, and (ii) February 27, 2019.

While repayment of the BCC Note and required redemptions of the Grace Preferred Equity Interests will contribute to reducing our borrowings to our intended limit, we may continue to use substantially all available offering proceeds to repay debt even after we have reduced our borrowings to their intended limit. In addition, the continued use of substantially all offering proceeds to repay debt will reduce the available cash flow to fund working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, development projects and other general corporate purposes, which could have a material adverse impact on our business and reduce cash available for distributions to holders of our common stock.

Moreover, there can be no assurance we will be able to raise the substantial funds required to meet these objectives on a timely basis, or at all. This offering is being made on a reasonable best efforts basis, whereby the brokers participating in the offering are only required to use their reasonable best efforts to sell our shares and have no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of the shares. Moreover, this offering must maintain registration in every state in which we offer or sell shares. Generally, such registrations are for a period of one year, and there can be no assurance they will be renewed or otherwise extended annually. Thus, we may have to stop selling shares in any state in which our registration is not renewed or otherwise extended annually. During the period from January 7, 2014 (the date we commenced our offering) through February 27, 2015 (the date we acquired the Grace Portfolio), we have received $343.9 million in proceeds from our offering, all of which has been used to pay distributions, reduce borrowings, acquire properties (including the Grace Portfolio) or for general corporate purposes. There can be no assurance as to the length of time we will be limited in our ability to pay distributions or acquire additional properties using proceeds from our offering.

In addition, our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, and our financial condition and ability to pay distributions could be adversely affected. To the extent our inability to raise substantial funds could also result in our being unable to make required redemptions or distributions and meet other conditions of the Grace Preferred Equity Interests, the holders of Grace Preferred Equity Interests will have certain rights, including the ability to assume control of the operations of the Grace Portfolio.

If we are unable to find a replacement guarantor for certain obligations related to the Grace Indebtedness, we will remain dependent on the previous guarantors to remain in this capacity and may be required to make payments, for reimbursements or guarantee fees, to them.

The previous guarantors of the Assumed Grace Indebtedness (who are affiliates of the sellers of the Grace Portfolio) remained as guarantors, together with our company and our operating partnership, following the closing of the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio with respect to certain limited recourse obligations and

S-15


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

environmental indemnities under the Assumed Grace Indebtedness, and we were required to enter into a supplemental guarantee agreement to ensure that they would remain in this capacity. The supplemental guarantee agreement provides that we, together with our operating partnership and individual principals of the parent of our sponsor, are jointly and severally liable to reimburse the previous guarantors for any payments they are required to make if their guarantee is called.

The supplemental guarantee agreement also provides that we will be required to pay a guarantee fee of $8.0 million per annum, which will start accruing in August 2016, 18 months following the closing of the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio. If we are unable to find a replacement guarantor before then or otherwise release the previous guarantors, we will be required to pay guarantee fees to the previous guarantors, which could adversely impact our results from operations and our ability to pay distributions. Our results from operations and our ability to pay distributions could also be adversely impacted if the previous guarantors are required to make any payments if their guarantee is called and we are required to reimburse them.

Funds spent to maintain licensed brand standards or the loss of a brand license would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

All but one of our hotels operate under licensed brands pursuant to franchise agreements with hotel brand companies. We anticipate that the hotels we acquire in the future also will operate under licensed brands.

The maintenance of the brand licenses for our hotels is subject to the hotel brand companies’ operating standards and other terms and conditions. Hotel brand companies periodically inspect our hotels to ensure that we and our taxable REIT subsidiaries and our affiliated sub-property manager and third-party sub-property managers follow their standards. Failure by us, our taxable REIT subsidiaries, our affiliated sub-property manager or a third-party sub-property manager to maintain these standards or other terms and conditions could result in a brand license being terminated. If a franchise agreement terminates due to our failure to make required improvements or to otherwise comply with its terms, we may also be liable to the hotel brand company for a termination payment, which will vary by hotel brand company and by hotel. As a condition of our continued holding of a brand license, a hotel brand company could also possibly require us to make capital expenditures, even if we do not believe the capital improvements are necessary or desirable or will result in an acceptable return on our investment. Nonetheless, we may risk losing a brand license if we do not make hotel brand company-required capital expenditures.

If we were to lose a brand license, we would be required to re-brand the affected hotel(s). As a result, the underlying value of a particular hotel could decline significantly from the loss of associated name recognition, marketing support, participation in guest loyalty programs and the centralized system provided by the franchisor, which could require us to recognize an impairment on the hotel. Furthermore, the loss of a franchise license at a particular hotel could harm our relationship with the hotel brand company, which could impede our ability to operate other hotels under the same brand, limit our ability to obtain new franchise licenses from the franchisor in the future on favorable terms, or at all, and cause us to incur significant costs to obtain a new franchise license for the particular hotel (including a likely requirement of a property improvement plan for the new brand, a portion of the costs of which would be related solely to the change in brand rather than substantively improving the property). Moreover, the loss of a franchise license could also be an event of default under the Grace Indebtedness if we are unable to find a suitable replacement. Accordingly, if we lose one or more franchise licenses, we could be materially and adversely affected.

We are required to make capital expenditures, which will be substantial, pursuant to property improvement plans, or PIPs, to comply with brand standards under our franchise agreements, and we are required to make regular deposits to partially reserve for these amounts under the Grace Indebtedness.

In connection with the Grace Acquisition, our franchisors required PIPs, which set forth their renovation requirements for the hotels in the Grace Portfolio.

Pursuant to the terms of the Assumed Grace Indebtedness, we are required to make an aggregate of $73.5 million in periodic PIP reserve deposits during 2015 and 2016 to cover a portion of the estimated costs of the PIPs on the total 96 hotels collateralizing that debt. In addition, pursuant to a guaranty entered into in connection with the Assumed Grace Indebtedness, we have guaranteed the difference between (i) the cost of the PIPs with respect to those 96 hotels during the 24-month period following the acquisition of the Grace

S-16


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Portfolio, estimated to be $102.0 million, and (ii) the amount actually deposited into the PIP reserve with respect to the Assumed Grace Indebtedness. See “Description of Real Estate Investments — Financial Obligations — Grace Acquisition Financing — PIP Guaranty.”

Pursuant to the terms of the Additional Grace Mortgage Loan, we are required to make an aggregate of $20.0 million in periodic PIP reserve deposits during 2015 and 2016 to cover a portion of the estimated costs of the PIPs on the total 21 hotels collateralizing that debt. The Grace Indebtedness also requires us to deposit 4.0% of the gross revenue of the hotels into a separate account for the ongoing replacement or refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment at the hotels.

In connection with any future revisions to our franchise or hotel management agreements or a refinancing of the Grace Indebtedness, our franchisors may require that we make further renovations or enter into additional PIPs. In addition, upon regular inspection of our hotels our franchisors may determine that additional renovations are required to bring the physical condition of our hotels into compliance with the specifications and standards each franchisor or hotel brand has developed.

These capital expenditures will be substantial and could adversely affect our ability to pay distributions or reduce our borrowings or use capital for other corporate purposes. Moreover, if we do not satisfy the PIP renovation requirements, the franchisor may have the right to terminate the applicable agreement and we may be in default under our indebtedness. In addition, if we default on a franchise agreement as a result of our failure to comply with the PIP requirements, in general, we will be required to pay the franchisor liquidated damages, and we may also be in default under the Grace Indebtedness.

Restrictive covenants and other provisions in franchise agreements could preclude us from taking actions with respect to the sale, refinancing or rebranding of a hotel that would otherwise be in our best interest.

Our franchise agreements are long-terms agreements with general prohibitions against or prohibitive payments for early termination and generally contain restrictive covenants and other provisions that do not provide us with flexibility to sell, refinance or rebrand a hotel without the consent of the franchisor. For example, the terms of some of these agreements may restrict our ability to sell a hotel unless the purchaser is not a competitor of the franchisor, enters into a replacement franchise agreement and meets specified other conditions. In addition, our franchise agreements restrict our ability to rebrand particular hotels without the consent of the franchisor, which could result in significant operational disruptions and litigation if we do not obtain the consent. We could be forced to pay consent or termination fees to franchisors (or litigate with them) under these agreements as a condition to changing franchise brands of our hotels (or, with respect to our affiliated sub-manager, changing management), and these fees could deter us from taking actions that would otherwise be in our best interest or could cause us to incur substantial expense. In addition, our lenders under the Grace Indebtedness generally must consent before we modify hotel management agreements or franchise agreements. Any default under a franchise agreement could also be a default under the Grace Indebtedness.

If we are found to be in breach of a ground lease or are unable to renew a ground lease, we could be materially and adversely affected.

Eight of the hotels in the Grace Portfolio are on land subject to ground leases. Accordingly, we only own a long-term leasehold or similar interest in those hotels, and we have no economic interest in the land or buildings at the expiration of the ground lease or permit and will not share in the income stream derived from the lease or permit or in any increase in value of the land associated with the underlying property.

If we are found to be in breach of a ground lease, we could lose the right to use the hotel. We could also be in breach of the Grace Indebtedness. In addition, unless we can purchase a fee interest in the underlying land and improvements or extend the terms of these leases before their expiration, as to which no assurance can be given, we will lose our right to operate these properties and our interest in the improvements upon expiration of the leases. Our ability to exercise any extension options relating to our ground leases is subject to the condition that we are not in default under the terms of the ground lease at the time that we exercise such options, and we can provide no assurances that we will be able to exercise any available options at such time. Our ability to exercise any extension option is further subject to conditions contained in Grace Indebtedness. Furthermore, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to renew any ground lease upon

its expiration. If we were to lose the right to use a hotel due to a breach or non-renewal of the ground lease, we would be unable to derive income from such hotel and would be required to purchase an interest in another hotel to attempt to replace that income, which could materially and adversely affect us.”

The risk factor titled “Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.” on page 66 of the Prospectus is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following disclosure.

“Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

We have incurred substantial indebtedness, of which $1,130.9 million outstanding as of February 27, 2015, among other things, bore interest at variable interest rates. Accordingly, increases in interest rates would increase our interest costs, which could reduce our cash flows and our ability to pay distributions to you. In addition, if we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments in properties at times that may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments.”

The following disclosure is hereby added to the beginning of the section “Risk Factors — Lodging Industry Risks” on page 58 of the Prospectus.

“Our lack of diversification in property type and hotel brands increases the risk of investment.

There is no limit on the number of properties of a particular hotel brand that we may acquire. Following the completion of our acquisition of the Grace Portfolio, 47.5% of our hotels are franchised with Hilton Worldwide®, 36.9% with Marriott International® and 12.3% with Hyatt Hotels Corporation®, and no other brand accounts for more than 5.0% of our hotels. The risks of brand concentration include reductions in business following negative publicity relating to one of our licensed brands or arising from or after a dispute with a hotel brand company.

To the extent our assets are geographically concentrated, an economic downturn in one or more of the markets in which we have invested could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions.

Our board of directors reviews our properties and investments in terms of geographic and hotel brand diversification, and any failure to remain diversified could adversely affect our results of operations and increase the risk of your investment.

Adverse trends in the hotel industry may impact our properties.

Our hotels are subject to all the risks and trends common to the hotel industry. Adverse trends in the hotel industry could adversely affect hotel occupancy and the rates that can be charged for hotel rooms. The success of our properties depends largely on the property operators’ ability to adapt to dominant trends in the hotel industry. These trends include greater competitive pressures, increased consolidation, a supply of hotel rooms that exceeds demand due to industry overbuilding, dependence on consumer spending patterns and changing demographics, the introduction of new concepts and products, availability of labor, price levels and general economic conditions. The success of a particular hotel brand, the ability of a hotel brand to fulfill any obligations to operators of its business, and trends in the hotel industry may affect our income and the funds we have available to distribute to our stockholders.”

Growth in Travel and Lodging Expenditures

[GRAPHIC MISSING]

Source: U.S. Travel Association, May 5, 2014

As a result, consumer spending on hotels and motels has grown significantly as well, particularly since 2013.

[GRAPHIC MISSING]

According to Smith Travel Research, the lodging industry accounted for $167 billion in expenditures in 2013, or approximately 19% of total travel expenditures for 2013, and the lodging industry achieved records for most rooms available, most rooms sold and highest per room revenue, ADR and RevPAR. This trend has continued in 2014, with record occupancy rates in June, record room nights sold in September and record RevPAR growth in the third quarter of 9.2%. RevPAR forecasts for 2014 and 2015 have been revised upward to 8.2% and 7.4% respectively and forecasted demand for lodging is expected to increase by 25.8% compared to only 5.6% for supply.

Hotel demand drivers are incredibly diverse, which makes overall changes in economic health (i.e., U.S. GDP growth) one of the best metrics for gauging the health of hotel demand.

RevPAR Growth & U.S. GDP Growth

Growth in RevPAR has historically been closely correlated with growth in U.S. GDP. Lodging properties do not have a fixed lease structure, unlike other property types, and therefore rental rates on lodging properties can be determined on virtually a daily basis. As a result, lodging industry fundamentals tend to decline and also recover sharply and more quickly than other property types as economies enter, and exit, recessionary periods, respectively.

Historical Occupancy Growth & Rate Growth

After over four years since the end of the economic recession, both occupancy and ADR have recovered close to the level reached in mid-2005, signaling strong hospitality fundamentals. The current cycle is shaping up like prior cycles in that, historically, rate growth has become the dominant contributor to RevPAR growth after 2.0 to 2.5 years from the trough of the cycle.

Occupancy at luxury, upper upscale, upscale and upper midscale hotels have surpassed each segment’s 15-year average, as well as the peak annual, occupancy achieved by each segment during the 2006 to 2007 period.

Current Positioning of ADR as Percentage of RevPAR Growth Indicates Significant Upside Remaining in Lodging Cycle:

The relationship between ADR and RevPAR growth is an important barometer to assess points in the lodging cycle. ADR growth approaching 100% of RevPAR growth indicates a potential inflection point, as it means occupancy levels are stagnating (likely caused by slowing demand and/or accelerating supply.

Every transaction that we enter into with our advisor, our property manager, our sub-property manager, our dealer manager or their respective affiliates is subject to an inherent conflict of interest. Our board of directors may encounter conflicts of interest in enforcing our rights against any affiliate in the event of a default by, or disagreement with, an affiliate or in invoking powers, rights or options pursuant to any agreement between us and our advisor, our property manager, our sub-property manager, our dealer manager or any of their respective affiliates.

These individuals also owe fiduciary duties to these other entities and their stockholders and limited partners, which fiduciary duties may conflict with the duties that they owe to us and our stockholders. Their loyalties to these other entities could result in actions or inactions that are detrimental to our business, which could harm the implementation of our business strategy and our investment and leasing opportunities. Conflicts with our business and interests are most likely to arise from involvement in activities related to (a) allocation of new investments and management time and services between us and the other entities, (b) our purchase of properties from, or sale of properties to, affiliated entities, (c) the timing and terms of the investment in or sale of an asset, (d) development of our properties by affiliates, (e) investments with affiliates of our advisor, (f) compensation to our advisor, and (g) our relationship with our dealer manager and property manager. If we do not successfully implement our business strategy, we may be unable to generate cash needed to make distributions to you and to maintain or increase the value of our assets. If these individuals act or fail to act in a manner that is detrimental to our business or favor one entity over another, they may be subject to liability for breach of fiduciary duty.

The parent of our sponsor has entered into a services agreement with RCS Advisory Services, LLC, or RCS Advisory, pursuant to which RCS Advisory provides us and other programs sponsored directly or indirectly by AR Capital, LLC with transaction management (including, without limitation, transaction management, due diligence, event coordination and marketing services) and other services. In addition, we have entered into agreements outside of our ordinary course of operations that provide for additional compensation to an affiliate of our dealer manager in connection with the Grace Acquisition. As explained in the following paragraph, RCS Advisory is an entity under common control with our sponsor, and therefore these agreements are related party transaction which were not negotiated at arms-length. The services agreement provides for an initial ten-year term, with automatic renewals for successive five-year periods, in each case, unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal to the other party at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the term. In addition, the agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (i) AR Capital, LLC’s delivery to RCS Advisory Services of a notice of non-compliance with its obligations under the agreement and the failure of the parties to resolve the matters referred to in the non-compliance notice; and (ii) the impact of a force majeure-related delay upon either party, if the force majeure results in performance being delayed by greater than 60 days. The terms of the agreements outside of our ordinary course of operations that provide for additional compensation to an affiliate of our dealer manager in connection with the Grace Acquisition are described under “— Agreements with RCAP Related to the Grace Acquisition.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Each of our dealer manager, our transfer agent and RCS Advisory are indirect subsidiaries of RCAP, a publicly traded holding company whose Class A common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “RCAP.” RCAP Holdings, LLC, or RCAP Holdings, is an entity under common control with the parent of our sponsor, and RCAP Holdings owns the only outstanding share of RCAP’s Class B common stock. Under RCAP’s certificate of incorporation, RCAP Holdings, as the holder of one share of Class B common stock, has one vote more than 50% of the voting rights of RCAP, and thereby controls RCAP and its subsidiaries, which includes our dealer manager, our transfer agent and RCS Advisory. As a result, our dealer manager, our transfer agent and RCS Advisory are under common control with our sponsor. The Class B common stock has no economic rights.

Although certain of our executive officers face conflicts of interest as a result of the foregoing, the following factors tend to ameliorate the effect of the resulting potential conflicts of interest. Our fundraising, including finding investors, is handled principally by our dealer manager, with our executive officers’ participation limited to participation in sales seminars. As described below, our dealer manager, a subsidiary of RCAP, an entity under common control with the parent of our sponsor, has a team of 341 professionals, which it believes is adequate and structured in a manner to handle sales for all of the offerings for which it is the dealer manager. Some of the other American Realty Capital-sponsored REITs also have sub-advisors or dedicated management teams who have the primary responsibility for investment activities of the REIT, which may mitigate some of these conflicts of interest.

Controlling interests in the dealer manager and the sponsors or co-sponsors of the American Realty Capital-sponsored investment programs are owned by Nicholas S. Schorsch and William M. Kahane. See the organizational chart in this section below. These members share responsibility for overseeing key management functions, including general management, investing, asset management, financial reporting, legal and accounting activities, marketing strategy and investor relations. RCAP believes this “bench” of senior members provides depth of management and is designed with succession planning in mind. Nonetheless, the competing time commitments resulting from managing multiple development stage REITs may impact our investment activities and our executive officers’ ability to oversee these activities.”

The following disclosure hereby replaces the disclosure under “Conflicts of Interest — Receipt of Fees and Other Compensation by Our Sponsor and its Affiliates” on page 133 of the Prospectus.

“Receipt of Fees and Other Compensation by Our Sponsor and its Affiliates

Our sponsor and its affiliates receive fees from us, which could be substantial and have not been negotiated at arm’s length. These fees could influence our advisor’s advice to us as well as the judgment of affiliates of our sponsor, some of whom also serve as our executive officers and directors and the key real estate professionals of our sponsor. Among other matters, these compensation arrangements could affect their judgment with respect to:

the continuation, renewal or enforcement of our agreements with our advisor and its affiliates, including the advisory agreement and the dealer manager agreement;
public offerings of equity by us, which entitle our dealer manager to dealer manager fees and will likely entitle the advisor to increased acquisition fees and asset management subordinated participation interests;
sales of properties and other investments to third parties, which entitle our advisor and the special limited partner, respectively, to disposition fees and a possible subordinated participation in net sales proceeds;
acquisitions of properties and other investments and loan originations to third parties, which entitle our advisor to acquisition fees and asset management subordinated participation interests;
acquisitions of properties and other investments that in some cases may originate from other programs sponsored directly or indirectly by the parent of our sponsor, which may entitle affiliates of our sponsor to disposition fees and possible subordinated incentive fees and distributions in connection with their services for the seller;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

borrowings to acquire properties and other investments and to originate loans, which borrowings will generate financing coordination fees and increase the acquisition fees and asset management subordinated participation interests payable to our advisor;
whether and when we seek to list our common stock on a national securities exchange, which listing could entitle the special limited partner to a subordinated incentive distribution; and
whether and when we seek to sell the company or its assets, which sale could entitle the special limited partner to a subordinated participation in net sales proceeds.

The fees our advisor and its affiliates receive in connection with transactions involving the acquisition of assets are based initially on the purchase price of the investment, including the amount of any loan originations, and are not based on the quality of the investment or the quality of the services rendered to us. This may influence our advisor to recommend riskier transactions to us, and our advisor may have an incentive to recommend that we incur a high level of leverage. In addition, because the fees are based on the cost of the investment, it may create an incentive for our advisor to recommend that we purchase assets with more debt and at higher prices.

From time to time, subject to the approval of a majority of our independent directors, we may engage one or more entities under common ownership with the parent of our sponsor or our advisor to provide services not provided under existing agreements described in this prospectus. These engagements will be at terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party for comparable services, and may result in the payment of fees or reimbursement of expenses by us to such entities not described in “Management Compensation.” We have entered into such agreements with affiliates of our dealer manager including in connection with the Grace Acquisition. In addition, because the fees under these agreements, similar to the other agreements described above, are based on the cost of the investment, it may create an incentive for our advisor to recommend that we purchase assets with more debt and at higher prices. See “— Agreements with RCAP Related to the Grace Acquisition.””

The third sentence of the second paragraph under the section entitled “Allocation of Our Affiliates’ Time” on page 133 of the Prospectus is hereby replaced with the following disclosure.

“We believe that certain executive officers of our advisor, property manager and sub-property manager will devote a large portion of their time to us.”

The first sentence of the first paragraph under the heading “Conflicts of Interest — Affiliated Dealer Manager” on page 135 of the Prospectus is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following disclosure.

“Because our dealer manager is owned by an entity under common control with the parent of our sponsor, we will not have the benefit of an independent due diligence review and investigation of the type normally performed by an unaffiliated, independent underwriter in connection with the offering of securities.”

The seventh sentence of the second paragraph under the heading “Conflicts of Interest — Affiliated Dealer Manager” on page 135 of the Prospectus is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following disclosure.

“Our dealer manager and the other subsidiaries of RCAP, which is under common control with the parent of our sponsor, have a team of 341 professionals, which it believes is adequate and structured in a manner to handle sales for all of the offerings for which it is the dealer manager.”

The following disclosure is added as a new subsection under the subsection entitled “Conflicts of Interest — Receipt of Fees and Other Compensation by Our Advisor and Its Affiliates” on page 136 of the Prospectus.

“Agreements with RCAP Related to the Grace Acquisition

In connection with the Grace Acquisition, we entered into an agreement to pay $1.0 million to RCS Advisory Services, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of RCAP, for transaction management services in connection with the Grace Acquisition which supplement, but do not overlap with, the similar services that are provided to us in the ordinary course of our operations under the services agreement with RCS Advisory Services, LLC described above under “— Our Sponsor and its Affiliates.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As of February 27, 2015, the date of the closing of the Grace Acquisition, we had paid $0.8 million on account of this agreement and no further amounts will become due.

We have also entered into an agreement with the investment banking division of our dealer manager, to provide strategic financial advice and assistance in connection with the Grace Acquisition, such as performing financial advisory and analysis services, due diligence and negotiation of the financial aspects of the acquisition. We will pay a fee equal to 0.25% of the total transaction cost for these services. See “Description of Potential Real Estate Investments — Grace Acquisition” for more information about the Grace Acquisition.

As of February 27, 2015, the date of the closing of the Grace Acquisition, we had not yet paid any amounts on account of this agreement, although we expect to pay approximately $4.5 million.”

Note 6 of the chart under the heading “Conflicts of Interest — Independent Director” on page 141 of the Prospectus is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following disclosure.

“Our dealer manager is owned by an entity which is under common control with the parent of our sponsor.”

Investment Objectives and Criteria

The first parenthetical in the bullet point titled “Exit Strategy” under the heading “Investment Objectives and Criteria — Investment Objectives” on page 144 of the Prospectus is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following disclosure.

“(including an entity under common control with the parent of our sponsor)”

The first parenthetical in the first paragraph under the heading “Investment Objectives and Criteria — Exit Strategy — Liquidity Event” on page 147 of the Prospectus is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following disclosure.

“(including an entity under common control with the parent of our sponsor)”

Money Market Investments

The following disclosure hereby replaces the section “Investment Objectives and Criteria — Money Market Investments” on pages 150 – 151 of the Prospectus.

“Investments in Money Market Funds and Liquid Marketable Securities

Pending the purchase of other permitted investments, or to provide a working capital reserve described above, we may temporarily invest up to 5% of the proceeds of the equity capital raise in accounts managed by an affiliate of our advisor, National Fund Advisors, LLC, or NFA, in connection with which NFA may receive customary fees. The independent directors of our board will review the terms and conditions of any engagement of NFA, as well as the parameters of any such working capital reserve.

In addition, we may temporarily invest in one or more unaffiliated money market mutual funds or directly in certificates of deposit, commercial paper, interest-bearing government securities and other short-term instruments. We intend to hold substantially all funds, pending our investment in real estate or real estate-related assets, in assets which will allow us to continue to qualify as a REIT. These investments will be liquid and provide for appropriate safety of principal, such as cash, cash items and government securities. Cash items include cash on hand, cash deposited in time and demand accounts with financial institutions, receivables which arise in our ordinary course of operation, commercial paper and certificates of deposit. Generally, government securities are any securities issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the United States federal government. See the section entitled “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Taxation — REIT Qualification Tests” in this prospectus.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Each of these hotels is managed by our sub-property manager. In addition, each of these hotels is subject to a franchise agreement with a national corporate brand, other than the Georgia Tech Hotel & Conference Center. See “Management — The Property Manager and The Sub-Property Manager” and “— Franchise Agreements” for a description of these arrangements.

In connection with the closing of the acquisition of the Barceló Portfolio, we paid our advisor $1.6 million in acquisition fees and $0.8 million in financing coordination fees.

The hotels in the Barceló Portfolio were selected for acquisition because they each meet our investment criteria relating to location, market position and hotel condition. These hotels are globally branded select-service and full-service hotels, and are located near landmarks such as corporate headquarters, colleges or universities, tourist attractions, airports, retail centers or convention centers. The hotels are located in high barrier-to-entry markets with multiple demand generators and sustainable growth, and they are market share leaders in their respective locations. We believe that, excepting the renovation work that is being completed pursuant to the property improvement plans, or PIPs, imposed by the franchisors with respect to the hotels, each hotel is currently well maintained, with minimum deferred maintenance or renovation required. We believe all of these hotels are adequately insured.

The Grace Portfolio

On February 27, 2015, we acquired the fee simple or leasehold interests in the Grace Portfolio for a contract purchase price of $1.8 billion, exclusive of closing costs.

The Grace Portfolio includes 116 hotels located in 31 states, operating under franchise agreements under the Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt and Intercontinental Hotels Group brands and comprising a total of 13,744 rooms. For the year ended December 31, 2014, no individual hotel accounted for 5.0% or more of the Grace Portfolio’s total net operating income. The following table sets forth key operation data for the hotels in the Grace Portfolio. Unless otherwise noted to indicate that they are subject to a ground lease or serve as collateral under the Additional Grace Mortgage Loan, such hotels are owned pursuant to a fee simple interest and serve as collateral under the Assumed Grace Indebtedness.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The hotels in the Grace Portfolio were selected for acquisition because they generally meet our investment criteria relating to location, market position and hotel condition. The hotels are globally branded select-service, extended-stay and full-service hotels, and are predominantly located near landmarks such as corporate headquarters, colleges or universities, tourist attractions, airports, retail centers or convention centers. Most of the hotels are located in high barrier-to-entry markets with multiple demand generators and sustainable growth, and many are market-share leaders in their respective locations. We believe that, excepting the renovation work that will be required pursuant to the PIPs imposed by the franchisors with respect to the hotels, each hotel is currently well maintained, with minimum deferred maintenance or renovation required. See “Risk Factors — We are required to make capital expenditures, which will be substantial, pursuant to property improvement plans, or PIPs, to comply with brand standards under our franchise agreements, and we are required to make regular deposits to partially reserve for the amounts under the Grace Indebtedness.” We believe all of these hotels are adequately insured.

In connection with the closing of the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio, we will pay our advisor $27.1 million in acquisition fees and $11.8 million in financing coordination fees. We will also pay additional fees to affiliates of our advisor related to the completion of the transaction. See “See “Conflicts of Interest — Agreements with RCAP Related to the Grace Acquisition.”

For each hotel in the Grace Portfolio, we, directly or indirectly through our taxable REIT subsidiaries, have retained a wholly owned subsidiary of our property manager, which has in turn retained either our affiliated sub-property manager or a third-party sub-property manager to be responsible for managing each of the hotel properties in the Grace Portfolio.

As of February 27, 2015, 34 of the hotels in the Grace Portfolio are managed by our affiliated sub-property manager and 82 of the hotels in the Grace Portfolio are managed by third-party sub-property managers. The hotel management agreements with the third-party sub-property managers generally have an initial term of approximately five years, renewable at our option for one-year terms, and are generally terminable by us subject to 90 days’ notice. The hotel management agreements with our affiliated sub-property manager have a 20-year term, automatically renewable for three five-year terms unless either party provides advance notice of non-renewal, and are generally only terminable by us prior to expiration for cause, including performance-related reasons. Although the lender with respect to the Assumed Grace Indebtedness generally must consent before we terminate, cancel, materially modify, renew or extend any of the hotel management agreements, for a period of two years following the completion of the acquisition of the Portfolio, or February 27, 2017, we may replace any third-party sub-property manager with our affiliated sub-property manager without consent of the lender if certain other conditions have been satisfied. With respect to the Additional Grace Mortgage Loan, we have right to replace a manager as long as no event of default has occurred and we replace the manager with a qualified manager, which includes our affiliated sub-property manager.

For their services under these hotel management agreements, our property manager and either our affiliated sub-property manager or a third-party sub-property manager share a base management fee and are also, in some cases, eligible to receive an incentive management fee if hotel operating profit exceeds certain thresholds. See “Management Compensation — Property Management Fees — Our Sub-Property Manager or a Third-Party Sub-Property Manager.” Each of these hotels is also subject to a franchise agreement with a national corporate brand. See “— Franchise Agreements.”

Franchise Agreements

All but one of our hotels operate under a franchise or license agreement with a national brand that is separate from the agreement with our sub-property manager or a third-party sub-property manager pursuant to which the operations of the hotel are managed. Our franchise agreements grant us the right to the use of the brand name, systems and marks with respect to specified hotels and establish various management, operational, record-keeping, accounting, reporting and marketing standards and procedures with which the licensed hotel must comply. In addition, the franchisor establishes requirements for the quality and condition of the hotel and its furniture, fixtures and equipment, and we are obligated to expend such funds as may be required to maintain the hotel in compliance with those requirements.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Typically, our franchise agreements provide for a license fee, or royalty, of 5% to 6% of gross room revenues. In addition, we generally pay 3.7% to 5.2% of gross room revenues as program or reservation fees for the system-wide benefit of brand hotels.

Our typical franchise agreement provides for a term of 15 to 20 years, although some have shorter terms. The agreements typically provide no renewal or extension rights and are not assignable. If we breach one of these agreements, in addition to losing the right to use the brand name for the applicable hotel, we may be liable, under certain circumstances, for liquidated damages.

Financial Obligations

MD/RI Loan

On March 21, 2014, we, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership, obtained a loan, or the MD/RI Loan, from German American Capital Corporation, or the Lender, in the amount of $45.5 million, secured by mortgages on the Courtyard Baltimore and the Courtyard Providence. The MD/RI Loan provides for monthly interest payments only with all principal outstanding being due on the maturity date, April 6, 2019. The MD/RI Loan bears interest at a stated fixed rate of 4.30% per annum.

The MD/RI Loan may not be prepaid prior to January 6, 2019, other than in respect of certain limited exceptions set forth in the loan agreement. The MD/RI Loan may be prepaid in whole without penalty or fee at any time from and after January 6, 2019. Also, the MD/RI Loan may be defeased in whole or in part from and after the earlier to occur of (i) March 21, 2017 and (ii) the second anniversary following the securitization of the MD/RI Loan upon at least 30 days prior notice to Lender provided that certain customary documentation and other requirements are met. In the event of a default, the lender has the right to exercise its remedies under the MD/RI Loan, including the right to accelerate the payment on any unpaid principal amount of the MD/RI Loan and/or foreclose on the properties.

Our operating partnership (together with AR Capital, LLC and certain individuals) has guaranteed (x) any losses that Lender may incur as a result of the occurrence of certain bad acts of the borrowers, operating lessees and/or our operating partnership, and (y) the payment of the MD/RI Loan upon the occurrence of certain other significant events, including bankruptcy and transfers in violation of the MD/RI Loan documents. Additionally, we (together with AR Capital, LLC and certain individuals) have agreed to indemnify Lender against any environmental liability Lender may incur resulting from environmental issues at the Courtyard Baltimore or the Courtyard Providence.

BCC Note

On March 21, 2014, we, through our operating partnership, executed a promissory note, or the Fee and Leasehold Assets Note, in favor of BCC, the owner of 40% of the membership interests of the Sub-Property Manager, in the amount of approximately $58.1 million. On March 21, 2014, we, through our operating partnership, executed another promissory note, or the JV Note, in favor of BCC in the amount of $5.0 million. On August 25, 2014, we, through our operating partnership, entered into a First Amendment to Promissory Notes, or the Amendment, with BCC to amend certain terms of the Fee and Leasehold Assets Note and the JV Note. Pursuant to the Amendment, our operating partnership and BCC agreed to pool the Fee and Leasehold Assets Note and the JV Note into one combined note, or the BCC Note, with an outstanding principal amount of $63.1 million.

The maturity date of the BCC Note is within ten business days after the date the Company raises $70.0 million in common equity following the closing of the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio and payment of all acquisition related expenses (including payments to our advisor and its affiliates).

The Amended Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.8% per annum, with interest payable monthly in arrears.

On the maturity date, an additional $3.5 million will be due to BCC on account of deferred consideration from our acquisition of the Barceló Portfolio, which matures on the same date as the BCC Note and will bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.8% per annum if it remains unpaid as of that date.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Crestline Note

On March 21, 2014, we, through our operating partnership, executed another promissory note, or the Crestline Note, in favor of the Sub-Property Manager in the amount of approximately $1.78 million. The proceeds of the Crestline Note are being used to make certain improvements and upgrades to certain of our properties. The Crestline Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.5% per annum, with interest payable quarterly in arrears. The entire principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, is fully due and payable on March 21, 2019.”

Grace Acquisition Financing

To finance the completion of the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio on February 27, 2015, we entered into a series of financing transactions described below.

Assumed Grace Mortgage Loan.  In connection with the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio, we assumed from entities affiliated with the sellers of the Grace Portfolio, as borrowers, the obligations under a mortgage loan agreement with German American Capital Corporation in the amount of $801.1 million, secured by mortgages on 96 of the hotels (the “Assumed Grace Mortgage Loan”). The Assumed Grace Mortgage Loan matures on May 1, 2016, subject to three (one-year) extension rights which, if all three are exercised, result in an outside maturity date of May 1, 2019. The Assumed Grace Mortgage Loan has an interest rate of (i) for a LIBOR loan, LIBOR plus 3.11%, or the LIBOR Rate, and (ii) for a prime rate loan, the sum of the “Prime Rate” published in the Wall Street Journal plus the difference (expressed as a number of basis points) between (A) the sum of the LIBOR Rate, minus (B) the Prime Rate. As of February 27, 2015, the interest rate was 3.28%. The Grace Portfolio Mortgage Loan is fully prepayable with certain prepayment penalties prior to May 1, 2015 and prepayable at par after May 1, 2015.
Assumed Grace Mezzanine Loan.  In connection with the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio, we assumed from an entity affiliated with the sellers of the Grace Portfolio, as borrower, the obligations under a mezzanine loan agreement with German American Capital Corporation in the amount of $102.8 million, secured by a pledge of equity in the owners of the 96 hotels collateralizing the Assumed Grace Mortgage Loan (the “Assumed Grace Mezzanine Loan” and, together with the Assumed Grace Mortgage Loan, the “Assumed Grace Indebtedness”). The Assumed Grace Mezzanine Loan matures on May 1, 2016, subject to three (one-year) extension rights which, if all three are exercised, result in an outside maturity date of May 1, 2019. The Assumed Grace Mezzanine Loan has an interest rate of: (i) for a LIBOR loan, LIBOR plus 4.77%, and (ii) for prime rate loans, the sum of the Prime Rate, plus the difference (expressed as a number of basis points) between (A) LIBOR plus 4.77%, minus (B) the Prime Rate. As of February 27, 2015, the interest rate was 4.94%. The Assumed Grace Mezzanine Loan is fully prepayable with certain prepayment penalties prior to May 1, 2015 and prepayable at par after May 1, 2015.
Assumed Grace Indebtedness Guarantee.  The previous guarantors of the Assumed Grace Indebtedness (who are affiliates of the sellers of the Grace Portfolio) remained as guarantors following the closing of the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio solely with respect to certain limited recourse obligations and environmental indemnities under the Assumed Grace Indebtedness, and we and our operating partnership became additional guarantors with respect to such obligations and indemnities. In order to ensure the previous guarantors would remain in such capacity following the closing of the acquisition of the Portfolio, we also entered into a supplemental guaranty agreement with the previous guarantors, the sellers of the Grace Portfolio and the individual principals of the parent of our sponsor, including William M. Kahane, our current executive chairman. This agreement provides that we, together with our operating partnership and the individual principals of the parent of our sponsor, will be jointly and severally liable to reimburse the previous guarantors for any payments they are required to make if their guarantee is called. The supplemental guaranty agreement also provides that, if the previous guarantors have not been released, we will be required to pay a guarantee fee of $8 million per annum which will start accruing August 27, 2016, 18 months following the closing of the Grace Acquisition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PIP Guaranty.  In connection with the assumption of the Assumed Grace Indebtedness, we also entered into a Payment Guaranty Agreement with the lender thereunder to fund future, estimated property improvements to the 96 hotels collateralizing the Assumed Grace Indebtedness of approximately $102.0 million (the “PIP Budget”), subject to increase or decrease as budgets for such improvements are finalized. At the closing of the assumption of the Assumed Grace Indebtedness, we deposited $8.0 million into an escrow account and agreed to make additional deposits of (i) $4.0 million on April 30, 2015, (ii) $12.5 million on June 30, 2015, (iii) $25 million on December 31, 2015 and (iv) $2 million on the last day of each calendar month in the 2016 calendar year. We also guaranty the difference between the PIP Budget and the amount actually deposited into escrow.
Grace Preferred Equity Interests.  On February 27, 2015, at the closing of the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio, to satisfy part of the contract purchase price, we issued $447.1 million in preferred equity interests (the “Grace Preferred Equity Interests”) in two newly-formed Delaware limited liability companies, each of which is an indirect subsidiary of our company and an indirect owner of the Grace Portfolio, to affiliates of the sellers of the Grace Portfolio. The holders of the Grace Preferred Equity Interests are entitled to monthly distributions at a rate of 7.50% per annum for the first 18 months following closing and 8.00% per annum thereafter. On liquidation, the holders of Grace Preferred Equity Interests are entitled to receive their original value (as reduced by redemptions) prior to any distributions being made to us or our stockholders.

After the earlier to occur of either (i) the repayment of the BCC Note, together with the $3.5 million deferred payment due concurrently, or (ii) the date the gross amount of proceeds from our offering we receive after the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio and payment of all acquisition related expenses (including payments to our advisor and its affiliates) exceeds $100.0 million, we will be required to use 35% of any proceeds from our offering to redeem the Grace Preferred Equity Interests at par, up to a maximum of $350.0 million in redemptions for any 12-month period. We will also be required in certain circumstances to apply debt proceeds to redeem the Grace Preferred Equity Interests at par. As of February 27, 2018, we will be required to have redeemed 50% of the preferred equity interests, and we will be required to redeem 100% of the preferred equity interests remaining outstanding as of the earlier of (i) 90 days following the stated maturity (including extension options) under the Grace Indebtedness, and (ii) February 27, 2019. In addition, we have the right, at our option, to redeem the preferred equity interests, in whole or in part, at any time at par.

The holders of preferred equity interests will have certain consent rights over major actions by us relating to the Grace Portfolio. If we are unable to satisfy the redemption, distribution or other requirements of the Grace Preferred Equity Interests (including if there is a default under the related guarantees provided by our company, our operating partnership and the individual principals of the parent of our sponsors), the holders of the Grace Preferred Equity Interests will have certain rights, including the ability to assume control of the operations of the Grace Portfolio through the assumption of control of the two newly-formed Delaware limited liability companies.

In connection with the issuance of the Grace Preferred Equity Interests, we, our operating partnership, and the certain individual principals of the parent of our sponsor, namely Nicholas S. Schorsch, William M. Kahane, Edward M. Weil, Jr. and Peter M. Budko (Mr. Schorsch, Mr. Kahane, Mr. Weil and Mr. Budko, collectively the “Guarantors”) entered into three agreements making guarantees to the sellers and their affiliates or indemnifying the sellers and their affiliates in connection with, among other things, (i) certain liabilities caused by actions of our company, the two newly-formed Delaware limited liability companies that issued the Grace Preferred Equity Interests, the Guarantors or their affiliates, (ii) the redemption obligations of the two newly-formed Delaware limited liability companies that issued the Grace Preferred Equity Interests under their limited liability company operating agreements, and (iii) certain environmental matters related to the Grace Portfolio. As guarantors under these agreements, our company, our operating partnership and the Guarantors are collectively required to maintain an aggregate net worth (without regard to the

properties in the Grace Portfolio and the applicable Grace Indebtedness) of not less than $250,000,000 and aggregate liquid assets of not less than $20,000,000.

Additional Grace Mortgage Loan.  In connection with the acquisition of the Grace Portfolio, we entered into a Loan Agreement with Ladder Capital Finance LLC and Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch to obtain additional mortgage financing (the “Additional Grace Mortgage Loan”) of approximately $227.0 million to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Grace Portfolio. The Additional Grace Mortgage Loan is secured by the remaining 20 hotels in the Grace Portfolio not collateralizing the Assumed Grace Indebtedness, as well as The Homewood Suites by Hilton Stratford, a hotel included in the Barceló Portfolio that was previously unencumbered. The Additional Grace Mortgage Loan matures on March 6, 2017, subject to a one-year extension right, which, if exercised, would result in an outside maturity date of March 6, 2018. The Additional Grace Mortgage Loan has an interest rate equal to the greater of (i) a floating rate of interest equal to 6.00% plus LIBOR and (ii) 6.25%. As of February 27, 2015, the interest rate was 6.25%. The Additional Grace Mortgage Loan is prepayable without prepayment penalties at any time upon at least 30 days prior notice. Under the Additional Grace Mortgage Loan, we also agreed to deposit the following amounts into an escrow account with the lender for future property improvements under PIPs at the collateralized hotels: (i) $5.0 million on March 31, 2015, (ii) $2.5 million on June 30, 2015, (iii) $2.5 million on September 30, 2015, (iv) $5.0 million on December 31, 2015, (v) $2.5 million on March 31, 2016, and (vi) $2.5 million on June 30, 2016.

Prior Performance Summary

The following disclosure hereby replaces in its entirety the section “Prior Performance Summary” contained on pages 175 – 186 of the Prospectus.

“PRIOR PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

Prior Investment Programs

The information presented in this section represents the historical experience of the real estate programs managed or sponsored over the last ten years by Messrs. Schorsch and Kahane, the principals of our sponsor. While our targeted investment focus will primarily be on freestanding, commercial real estate properties, these prior real estate programs have a targeted investment focus primarily on commercial real estate, specifically net lease properties. Investors should not assume that they will experience returns, if any, comparable to those experienced by investors in such prior real estate programs. The prior performance of real estate investment programs sponsored by affiliates of Messrs. Schorsch and Kahane and our advisor may not be indicative of our future results. For an additional description of this risk, see section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to an Investment in American Realty Capital Hospitality Trust, Inc.” in this prospectus. We are a company with a limited operating history, which makes our future performance difficult to predict.” The information summarized below is current as of December 31, 2013 (unless specifically stated otherwise) and is set forth in greater detail through the year ended December 31, 2013, in the Prior Performance Tables included in this prospectus. In addition, we will provide upon request to us and without charge, a copy of the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC by any public program within the last 24 months, and for a reasonable fee, a copy of the exhibits filed with such report. We intend to conduct this offering in conjunction with future offerings by one or more public and private real estate entities sponsored by American Realty Capital and its affiliates. To the extent that such entities have the same or similar investment strategies or objectives as ours, such entities may be in competition with us for the investments we make. See the section entitled “Conflicts of Interest” in this prospectus for additional information.

Summary Information

During the period from August 2007 (inception of the first program) to December 31, 2013, affiliates of our advisor have sponsored 15 public programs, all of which had raised funds as of December 31, 2013. From August 2007 (inception of the first public program) to December 31, 2013, our public programs, which include our company, ARCT, ARCT III, ARCT IV, PECO, ARC-HT, ARCT V, NYRT, DNAV, ARCG, ARCP, ARC RCA, RFT, ARC HT II, PECO II and ARC Global had raised $14.0 billion from 238,250 investors in

public offerings. The public programs purchased 4,121 properties with an aggregate purchase price of $17.7 billion in 49 states, Washington D.C. and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom. The investment objectives of each of these public programs are substantially identical to our investment objectives of (1) paying attractive and stable cash distributions, (2) preserving and returning stockholders’ capital contributions and (3) realizing appreciation in the value of our investments.

American Realty Capital Trust, Inc.

American Realty Capital Trust, Inc., or ARCT, incorporated on August 17, 2007, was a Maryland corporation that qualified as a REIT. ARCT was formed to acquire a diversified portfolio of commercial real

estate, primarily freestanding single-tenant properties net leased to credit worthy tenants on a long-term basis. In January 2008, ARCT commenced an initial public offering on a “best efforts” basis to sell up to 150.0 million shares of common stock, excluding 25.0 million shares issuable pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan, offered at a price of $10.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts. In March 2008, ARCT commenced real estate operations. ARCT’s initial public offering closed in July 2011, having raised $1.7 billion in gross proceeds from the sale of 179.4 million shares of common stock and incurred, cumulatively to that date, $198.0 million in offering costs, commissions and dealer manager fees for the sale of its common stock. ARCT operated as a non-traded REIT through February 29, 2012.

expenses; and for the year ended December 31, 2010, the net losses were primarily attributable to depreciation and amortization and acquisition and transaction related expenses. As of December 31, 2013, our sponsor’s public programs have purchased 4,121 properties. From 2008 to 2013, our sponsor’s programs referenced above have experienced a non-renewal of 91 leases, 81 of which have been leased to new tenants. Additionally, during this time our sponsor’s programs have experienced a renewal of 141 leases.

On October 29, 2014, ARCP announced that its audit committee had concluded that the previously issued financial statements and other financial information contained in certain public filings should no longer be relied upon. This conclusion was based on the preliminary findings of an investigation conducted by ARCP’s audit committee which concluded that certain accounting errors were made by ARCP personnel that were not corrected after being discovered, resulting in an overstatement of AFFO and an understatement of ARCP’s net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. ARCP also announced the resignation of its chief accounting officer and its chief financial officer. This individual also was chief financial officer, treasurer and secretary of our company, our advisor and our property manager during the period from August 2013 to September 2013. This individual also is one of the non-controlling owners of the parent of our sponsor, but does not have a role in managing our business or our sponsor’s business. In December 2014, ARCP announced the resignation of its executive chairman, who was also the chairman of our board of directors until his resignation on December 29, 2014. This individual also currently a member of the board of managers of our sub-property manager and one of the controlling members of the parent of our sponsor.

On March 2, 2015, ARCP announced the completion of its audit committee’s investigation and filed amendments to its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and its Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, which are available at the internet site maintained by the SEC, www.sec.gov. According to these filings, these amendments corrected errors in ARCP’s financial statements and in its calculation of AFFO that resulted in overstatements of AFFO for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 and the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 and June 30, 2014 and described certain results of its investigations, including matters relating to payments to, and transactions with, affiliates of the parent of our sponsor and certain equity awards to certain officers and directors. In addition, ARCP disclosed that the audit committee investigation had found material weaknesses in ARCP’s internal control over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures. ARCP also disclosed that the SEC has commenced a formal investigation, that the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York contacted counsel for both ARCP’s audit committee and ARCP with respect to the matter and that the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has issued a subpoena for various documents.

Other than as disclosed above, there have been no major adverse business developments or conditions experienced by any program or non-program property that would be material to investors, including as a result of recent general economic conditions.”

“We or our affiliates also may provide permissible forms of non-cash compensation pursuant to FINRA Rule 2310(c) to registered representatives of our dealer manager and the selling group participants, such as:

an occasional meal, a ticket to a sporting event or the theater, or comparable entertainment which is neither so frequent nor so extensive as to raise any question of propriety and is not preconditioned on achievement of a sales target;
the national and regional sales conferences of our selected broker-dealers;
training and education meetings for registered representatives of our selected broker-dealers; and
gifts, such as golf shirts, fruit baskets, cakes, chocolates, a bottle of wine, or tickets to a sporting event, the value of which shall not exceed an aggregate of $100 per annum per participating salesperson, or be pre-conditioned on achievement of a sales target.

The value of such items of non-cash compensation to participating broker-dealers will be considered underwriting compensation in connection with this offering and will be paid from the dealer manager fee or reduce the dealer manager fee if paid directly by us or our advisor.”

The following disclosure is hereby added as a new section under the section entitled “Plan of Distribution — Volume Discounts” on page 246 of the Prospectus.

“Purchase of Shares Subject to Volume Discount

In February 2015, we entered into an agreement with a single investor (referred to in this prospectus as the “Major Investor”), whereby the Major Investor will agree to purchase during the course of this offering a minimum of $5,000,000 in value of shares of our common stock in consideration for reduced selling commissions and dealer manager fees. In exchange for the Major Investor’s agreement to purchase a minimum of $5,000,000 in value of shares of our common stock, we will sell such shares to the Major Investor at $23.125 per share, from which we will receive net proceeds of $22.50 per share. The purchases by the Major Investor are expected to occur in multiple transactions during the course of this offering. The Major Investor will pay for all shares purchased in each transaction at the time of such transaction. Accordingly, the Major Investor will purchase from us a minimum of 216,216.22 shares (calculated by dividing the minimum purchase amount of $5,000,000 by the purchase price of $23.125 per share). We may issue fractional shares to the Major Investor. Other investors who wish to purchase a minimum of $5,000,000 in value of shares of our common stock during the course of our offering in consideration for reduced selling commissions and dealer manager fee also may purchase such shares at $23.125 per share.”
