Explanation of Responses:

1. Restricted shares of common stock issued pursuant to the issuer's Restricted Share Plan. Restricted shares vest ratably over a three year period beginning on February 7, 2015.

2. Issued in lieu of cash for previously earned asset management fees payable to the issuer's manager. The reporting person is an equity holder of the manager. As a result of the issuer's transition to self-management and elimination of the manager, these shares were issued ratably to the reporting person and are now owned directly.

3. Terms of such security have been reported on Form 4 previously filed by reporting person.

4. In return for the initial capital contribution of $2,020 made by the advisor of American Realty Capital Trust III, Inc. ("ARCT III") in connection with its formation, ARCT III's operating partnership issued operating partnership units to the ARCT III advisor. Upon the consummation of the merger of the issuer and ARCT III, each ARCT III operating partnership unit was converted into 0.95 operating partnership units of the issuer's operating partnership. The reporting person owned equity interest in the ARCT III advisor. The OP units are being issued pro rata to the reporting person and are now owned directly.

5. Operating partnership units are exchangeable for cash or, at the option of the issuer, shares of the issuer's common stock on a one-to-one basis. Operating partnership units are exchangeable, except under certain limited circumstances, beginning one year from the date of issuance, which includes the holding period of any units that were converted into operating partnership units and have no expiration date.
