___________
(a)
The carrying value of this investment is affected by the impact of fluctuations in the exchange rate of the euro.
(b)
This investment represents a tenancy-in-common interest, whereby the property is encumbered by debt for which we are jointly and severally liable. For this investment, the co-obligor is WPC and the total amount due under the arrangement was approximately $95.6 million and $93.2 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Of these amounts, $81.3 million and $79.2 million represent the amounts we agreed to pay and are included within the carrying value of this investment at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
(c)
In November 2013, we made a contribution of $17.0 million to this investment for the investee to repurchase its outstanding mortgage loan.
(d)
The portion of these investments owned by CPA®:16 – Global were acquired by WPC upon completion of the merger of CPA®:16 – Global with and into a subsidiary of WPC in January 2014.
(e)
In December 2013, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $3.8 million on this investment (Note 9).
(f)
We acquired interests in Madison Storage NYC, LLC in June 2013 and Veritas Group IX-NYC, LLC in October 2013, both of which are VIEs. In addition to our 45% equity interest, we have a 40% indirect economic interest in this investment based upon certain contractual arrangements with our partner in this entity that enable or could require us to purchase their interest.
(g)
See “Acquisition of Equity Investment” below.
(h)
The decrease in carrying value is primarily due to our share of the German real estate transfer tax incurred by the investment. Please see “Hellweg 2 Restructuring” below for more information.
(i)
Represents a domestic ADC Arrangement that we account for under the equity method of accounting as the characteristics of the arrangement with the third-party developer are more similar to a jointly-owned investment or partnership rather than a loan. This investment is a VIE. We provided funding of $69.3 million to this investment during the year ended December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013, the unfunded balance on the loan related to this investment was $2.5 million.
(j)
Represents a domestic ADC Arrangement that we account for under the equity method of accounting as the characteristics of the arrangement with the third-party developer are more similar to a jointly-owned investment or partnership rather than a loan. This investment is a VIE. We provided funding of $3.8 million to this investment and capitalized $0.2 million of interest related to the loan during the year ended December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013, the unfunded balance on the loan related to this investment was $44.3 million.
