NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Organization

Corporate Property Associates 17 – Global Incorporated, or CPA^®:17 – Global, and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, we, us, or our, is a publicly owned, non-traded real estate investment trust, or REIT, that invests primarily in commercial real estate properties leased to companies both domestically and internationally. We were formed in 2007 and are managed by W. P. Carey Inc., or WPC, through one of its subsidiaries, or collectively, our Advisor. As a REIT, we are not subject to U.S. federal income taxation as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income and the level of our distributions, among other factors. We earn revenue primarily by leasing the properties we own to single corporate tenants, predominantly on a triple-net leased basis, which requires the tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property. Revenue is subject to fluctuation due to the timing of new lease transactions, lease terminations, lease expirations, contractual rent adjustments, tenant defaults, sales of properties, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Substantially all of our assets and liabilities are held by CPA^®:17 Limited Partnership, or the Operating Partnership, and at March 31, 2017, we owned 99.99% of general and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. The remaining interest in the Operating Partnership is held by a subsidiary of WPC.

At March 31, 2017, our portfolio was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 394 properties, substantially all of which were fully-occupied and triple-net leased to 118 tenants, and totaled approximately 43 million square feet. In addition, our portfolio was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 38 operating properties, including 37 self-storage properties and one hotel property, for an aggregate of approximately 3 million square feet. As opportunities arise, we may also make other types of commercial real estate-related investments.

We operate in two reportable business segments: Net Lease and Self Storage. Our Net Lease segment includes our domestic and foreign investments in net-leased properties, whether they are accounted for as operating or direct financing leases. Our Self Storage segment is comprised of our investments in self-storage properties. In addition, we have investments in loans receivable, CMBS, one hotel, and other properties, which are included in our All Other category (Note 14). Our reportable business segments and All Other category are the same as our reporting units.

We raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.9 billion from our initial public offering, which closed in April 2011, and our follow-on offering, which closed in January 2013. In addition, from inception through March 31, 2017, $599.7 million of distributions to our shareholders were reinvested in our common stock through our Distribution Reinvestment Plan, or DRIP.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2016, which are included in the 2016 Annual Report, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have not been included in this Report. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CPA^®:17 – Global 3/31/17 10-Q – 7

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Basis of Consolidation — Our consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries and our tenancy-in-common interest, as described below. The portions of equity in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if it should be deemed a variable interest entity, or VIE, and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. We apply accounting guidance for consolidation of VIEs to certain entities in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Fixed price purchase and renewal options within a lease, as well as certain decision-making rights within a loan or joint-venture agreement, can cause us to consider an entity a VIE. Limited partnerships and other similar entities that operate as a partnership will be considered a VIE unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participation rights. Significant judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review the contractual arrangements provided for in the partnership agreement or other related contracts to determine whether the entity is considered a VIE, and to establish whether we have any variable interests in the VIE. We then compare our variable interests, if any, to those of the other variable interest holders to determine which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE based on whether the entity (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The liabilities of these VIEs are non-recourse to us and can only be satisfied from each VIE’s respective assets.

At March 31, 2017, we considered 25 entities VIEs, 12 of which we consolidated as we are considered the primary beneficiary and one of which we accounted for as a loan receivable. The following table presents a summary of selected financial data of the consolidated VIEs, included in the consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016
Net investments in properties	$	183,291	$	313,000
Net investments in direct financing leases	315,582		315,251
In-place lease and tenant relationship intangible assets, net	18,493		19,336
Other assets, net	54,372		65,557
Total assets	574,618		714,896
Debt, net	$	201,877	$	265,874
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities	10,154		14,440
Deferred income taxes	16,344		15,687
Total liabilities	229,042		296,673

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had 12 and 13 unconsolidated VIEs, respectively, which we account for under the equity method of accounting. We do not consolidate these entities because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of these entities allows us to exercise significant influence on, but does not give us power over, decisions that significantly affect the economic performance of these entities. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the net carrying amount of our investments in these entities was $415.5 million and $377.4 million, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities was limited to our investments.

At March 31, 2017, we had an investment in a tenancy-in-common interest in a portfolio of international properties. Consolidation of this investment is not required as such interest does not qualify as a VIE and does not meet the control requirement for consolidation. Accordingly, we account for this investment using the equity method of accounting. We use the equity method of accounting because the shared decision-making involved in a tenancy-in-common interest investment provides us with significant influence on the operating and financial decisions of this investment.

At times, the carrying value of our equity investments may fall below zero for certain investments. We intend to fund our share of the jointly owned investments’ future operating deficits should the need arise. However, we have no legal obligation to pay for any of the liabilities of such investments nor do we have any legal obligation to fund operating deficits. At March 31, 2017, none of our equity investments had carrying values below zero.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 does not apply to our lease revenues, which constitute a majority of our revenues, but will apply to reimbursed tenant costs and revenues generated from our operating properties. We will adopt this guidance for our annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2018 using one of two methods: retrospective restatement for each reporting period presented at the time of adoption, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this guidance recognized at the date of initial application. We have not decided which method of adoption we will use. We are evaluating the impact of the new standard and have not yet determined if it will have a material impact on our business or our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 outlines a new model for accounting by lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under substantially all leases, existing and new, would be capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. For lessors, however, the accounting remains largely unchanged from the current model, with the distinction between operating and financing leases retained, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. The new standard also replaces existing sale-leaseback guidance with a new model applicable to both lessees and lessors. Additionally, the new standard requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for U.S. GAAP public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; for all other entities, the final lease standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application will be permitted for all entities. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition of the new guidance and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new model at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The ASU is expected to impact our consolidated financial statements as we have certain operating office and land lease arrangements for which we are the lessee. We are evaluating the impact of the new standard and have not yet determined if it will have a material impact on our business or our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 introduces a new model for estimating credit losses based on current expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application of the guidance permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 intends to reduce diversity in practice for certain cash flow classifications, including, but not limited to (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iii) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and (iv) distributions received from equity method investees. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application of the guidance permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-15 on our consolidated financial statements, and will adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control. ASU 2016-17 changes how a reporting entity that is a decision maker should consider indirect interests in a VIE held through an entity under common control. If a decision maker must evaluate whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it will only need to consider its proportionate indirect interest in the VIE held through a common control party. ASU 2016-17 amends ASU 2015-02, which we adopted on January 1, 2016, and which currently directs the decision maker to treat the common control party’s interest in the VIE as if the decision maker held the interest itself. ASU 2016-17 is effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

We adopted ASU 2016-17 as of January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 intends to reduce diversity in practice for the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-18 on our consolidated financial statements, and will adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017-01 intends to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under the current implementation guidance in Topic 805, there are three elements of a business: inputs, processes, and outputs. While an integrated set of assets and activities, collectively referred to as a “set,” that is a business usually has outputs, outputs are not required to be present. ASU 2017-01 provides a screen to determine when a set is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. ASU 2017-01 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. While our acquisitions have historically been classified as either business combinations or asset acquisitions, certain acquisitions that were classified as business combinations by us likely would have been considered asset acquisitions under the new standard. As a result, transaction costs are more likely to be capitalized since we expect most of our future acquisitions to be classified as asset acquisitions under this new standard. In addition, goodwill that was previously allocated to businesses that were sold or held for sale will no longer be allocated and written off upon sale if future sales were deemed to be sales of assets and not businesses.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 removes step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years in which a goodwill impairment test is performed, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-04 on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20). ASU 2017-05 clarifies that a financial asset is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset. The amendments define the term “in substance nonfinancial asset,” in part, as a financial asset promised to a counterparty in a contract if substantially all of the fair value of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) that are promised to the counterparty in the contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets. If substantially all of the fair value of the assets that are promised to the counterparty in a contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets, then all of the financial assets promised to the counterparty are in substance nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20. This amendment also clarifies that nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counterparty. For example, a parent company may transfer control of nonfinancial assets by transferring ownership interests in a consolidated subsidiary. ASU 2017-05 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early application permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-05 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.

Note 3. Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties

Transactions with Our Advisor

We have an advisory agreement with our Advisor whereby our Advisor performs certain services for us under a fee arrangement, including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase, and disposition of real estate and related assets and mortgage loans; day-to-day management; and the performance of certain administrative duties. We also reimburse our Advisor for general and administrative duties performed on our behalf. The advisory agreement has a term of one year and may be renewed for successive one-year periods. We may terminate the advisory agreement upon 60 days’ written notice without cause or penalty.

Acquisition and Disposition Fees

We pay our Advisor acquisition fees for structuring and negotiating investments and related mortgage financing on our behalf, a portion of which is payable upon acquisition of investments, with the remainder subordinated to the achievement of a preferred return, which is a non-compounded cumulative distribution of 5.0% per annum (based initially on our invested capital). Acquisition fees payable to our Advisor with respect to our long-term, net-leased investments are 4.5% of the total cost of those investments and are comprised of a current portion of 2.5%, typically paid upon acquisition, and a deferred portion of 2.0%, typically paid over three years and subject to the 5.0% preferred return described above. The preferred return was achieved as of each of the cumulative periods ended March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. For certain types of non-long term net-leased investments, initial acquisition fees are between 1.0% and 1.75% of the equity invested plus the related acquisition fees, with no portion of the payment being deferred. Unpaid installments of deferred acquisition fees are included in Due to affiliates in the consolidated financial statements. Unpaid installments of deferred acquisition fees bear interest at an annual rate of 5.0%. The cumulative total acquisition costs, including acquisition fees paid to the advisor, may not exceed 6.0% of the aggregate contract purchase price of all investments, which is measured at the end of each year. Our cumulative total acquisition costs have not exceeded the amount that would require our Advisor to reimburse us.

Our Advisor may be entitled to receive a disposition fee equal to the lesser of (i) 50.0% of the competitive real estate commission (as defined in the advisory agreement) or (ii) 3.0% of the contract sales price of the investment being sold; however, payment of such fees is subordinated to the 5.0% preferred return. These fees are payable at the discretion of our board of directors.

Asset Management Fees

As described in the advisory agreement, we pay our Advisor asset management fees that vary based on the nature of the underlying investment. We pay 0.5% per annum of average market value for long-term net leases and certain other types of real estate investments, and 1.5% to 1.75% per annum of average equity value for certain types of securities. Asset management fees are payable in cash and/or shares of our common stock at our option, after consultation with our Advisor. If our Advisor receives all or a portion of its fees in shares, the number of shares issued is determined by dividing the dollar amount of fees by our most recently published estimated net asset value per share, or NAV, which was $10.11 as of December 31, 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we paid our Advisor 100.0% of its asset management fees in shares of our common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we paid our Advisor 50.0% of its asset management fees in cash and 50.0% in shares of our common stock. At March 31, 2017, our Advisor owned 12,466,959 shares (3.6%) of our common stock. Asset management fees are included in Property expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

Available Cash Distribution

WPC’s interest in the Operating Partnership entitles it to receive distributions of 10.0% of available cash generated by the Operating Partnership, referred to as the Available Cash Distribution, which is defined as cash generated from operations, excluding capital proceeds, as reduced by operating expenses and debt service, excluding prepayments and balloon payments. Available Cash Distributions are included in Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements.

Personnel and Overhead Reimbursements

Under the terms of the advisory agreement, our Advisor allocates a portion of its personnel and overhead expenses to us and the other entities that are managed by our Advisor, including Corporate Property Associates 18 – Global Incorporated, or CPA^®:18 – Global; Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated, or CWI 1; Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated, or CWI 2; Carey Credit Income Fund, or CCIF; and Carey European Student Housing Fund I, L.P., or CESH I; collectively referred to as the Managed Programs. Our Advisor allocates these expenses to us on the basis of our trailing four quarters of reported revenues in comparison to those of WPC and other entities managed by WPC and its affiliates.

We reimburse our Advisor for various expenses it incurs in the course of providing services to us. We reimburse certain third-party expenses paid by our Advisor on our behalf, including property-specific costs, professional fees, office expenses, and business development expenses. In addition, we reimburse our Advisor for the allocated costs of personnel and overhead in managing our day-to-day operations, including accounting services, stockholder services, corporate management, and property management and operations. We do not reimburse our Advisor for the cost of personnel if these personnel provide services for transactions for which our Advisor receives a transaction fee, such as for acquisitions and dispositions. As per the advisory agreement, the amount of applicable personnel costs allocated to us is capped at 2.0% and 2.2% for 2017 and 2016,

CPA^®:17 – Global 3/31/17 10-Q – 12

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

respectively, of pro rata lease revenues for each year. Costs related to our Advisor’s legal transactions group are based on a schedule of expenses relating to services performed for different types of transactions, such as financings, lease amendments, and dispositions, among other categories, and includes 0.25% of the total investment cost of an acquisition. In general, personnel and overhead reimbursements are included in General and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements. However, we capitalize certain of the costs related to our Advisor’s legal transactions group if the costs relate to a transaction that is not considered to be a business combination.

Excess Operating Expenses

Our Advisor is obligated to reimburse us for the amount by which our operating expenses exceeds the “2%/25% guidelines” (the greater of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income) as defined in the advisory agreement for any 12-month period, subject to certain conditions. For the most recent four trailing quarters, our operating expenses were below this threshold.

Jointly Owned Investments and Other Transactions with Affiliates

At March 31, 2017, we owned interests ranging from 7% to 97% in jointly owned investments, with the remaining interests held by affiliates or by third parties. We consolidate certain of these investments and account for the remainder under the equity method of accounting. We also owned an interest in a jointly controlled tenancy-in-common interest in several properties, which we account for under the equity method of accounting (Note 6). At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had an amount due from an affiliate of $1.0 million primarily related to one of our jointly owned investments.

Real Estate

Real estate, which consists of land and buildings leased to others, at cost, and which are subject to operating leases, is summarized as follows (in thousands):

	March 31, 2017			December 31, 2016
Land	$	540,358		$	563,050

Less: Accumulated depreciation	(293,985		)	(280,657		)
	$	2,355,571		$	2,464,767

The carrying value of our real estate increased by $15.1 million from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017, due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, particularly the euro and British pound sterling, during the period.

Depreciation expense, including the effect of foreign currency translation, on our real estate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $16.2 million and $15.9 million, respectively.

Acquisitions of Real Estate During 2017

On February 2, 2017, we acquired an office facility in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, which was deemed to be a real estate asset acquisition, at a total cost of $11.5 million, including land of $2.0 million, building of $7.5 million (including acquisition-related costs of $0.5 million, which were capitalized), and an intangible asset of $2.0 million (Note 7).

Depreciation expense on our operating real estate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $1.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2016, we had a property classified as Assets held for sale. On March 13, 2017, we sold this property for $14.1 million, net of closing costs, to a third party (Note 13).

I-drive Property Disposition and I-drive Wheel Restructuring

In 2012, we entered into a contract for the construction of a domestic build-to-suit project with IDL Master Tenant, LLC, a developer, for the construction of an entertainment complex, which we refer to as the I-drive Property, and an observation wheel, which we refer to as the I-drive Wheel, at the I-drive Property. We had accounted for the construction of the I-drive Property as Real estate under construction. The funding of the I-drive Wheel was provided in the form of a $50.0 million loan, which we refer to as the Wheel Loan, pursuant to the guidance of the acquisition, development and construction of real estate, or ADC Arrangement. We accounted for the Wheel Loan under the equity method of accounting as the characteristics of the arrangement with the third-party developer were more similar to a jointly-owned investment or partnership rather than a loan (Note 6). During 2015, the construction on both the I-drive Property and the I-drive Wheel were completed and placed into service.

On March 17, 2017, the developer exercised its purchase option and acquired the I-drive Property for a purchase price of $117.5 million (Note 13). The $60.0 million non-recourse mortgage loan encumbering the I-drive Property was repaid at closing by the buyer (Note 10). In connection with the disposition, we provided seller financing in the form of a $34.0 million mezzanine loan (Note 5), which was considered to be a non-cash investing activity, and the sale was accounted for under the cost recovery method. As a result, the $2.1 million gain on sale was deferred and will be recognized upon recovery of the cost of the property. As a result of the sale of the I-drive Property, we no longer consider this entity to be a VIE at March 31, 2017.

Note 5. Finance Receivables

Assets representing rights to receive money on demand or at fixed or determinable dates are referred to as finance receivables. Our finance receivables portfolio consists of our Net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable. Operating leases are not included in finance receivables as such amounts are not recognized as an asset in the consolidated financial statements. Our loans receivable are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements. Earnings from our loans receivable are included in Other interest income in the consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the I-drive Property disposition (Note 4, Note 13), on March 17, 2017 we provided seller financing in the form of a $34.0 million mezzanine loan (Note 4) to the developer of the I-drive Property, which has an interest rate of 9.0% and is scheduled to mature in April 2019 with an option to extend to April 2020.

CPA^®:17 – Global 3/31/17 10-Q – 14

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

In addition to the sale of the I-drive Property, we restructured the Wheel Loan (Note 4) on March 17, 2017. Under the original ADC Arrangement that was accounted for as an equity method investment (Note 6), (i) we provided all the equity for the initial construction and carried all of the risk, (ii) all interest and fees on the Wheel Loan were added to the Wheel Loan balance and (iii) we participated in the residual profits of the I-drive Wheel post-construction through rents we received pursuant to a ground lease. The Wheel Loan was amended as follows:

• $5.0 million of principal was repaid.

• $10.0 million of principal was converted into separate loans to two individuals associated with the developer. These loans are guaranteed by their 80.0% equity interest in the I-Shops Property that we originally owned and sold back to the developer in 2014. The loans have an interest rate of 6.5% and are scheduled to mature in December 2018 with an option to extend to April 2020.

• We reduced the interest rate to 6.5% on the remaining $35.0 million and extended the maturity in December 2018 with an option to extend to December 2020.

In connection with the restructuring of the Wheel Loan, we determined that the loan no longer meets ADC equity investment classification since (i) the construction is now completed, (ii) the borrowers have contributed cash and equity pledges as security which substantially reduced our risk and (iii) we no longer participate in the residual profits through the ground lease rents (pursuant to the aforementioned I-drive Property disposition mentioned in Note 4). As a result, we reclassed the combined $45.0 million loan balance noted above to loan receivable, included in Other Assets, net which was a non-cash investing activity. A deferred gain of $16.4 million was recorded during the first quarter which was the difference between the fair value of the loan of $35.0 million and the $18.6 million carrying value of our previously held equity investment on March 17, 2017. The deferred gain related to the restructuring of the Wheel Loan will be recognized into income upon recovery of the cost of the Wheel Loan.

Credit Quality of Finance Receivables

We generally seek investments in facilities that we believe are critical to a tenant’s business and that we believe have a low risk of tenant default. At both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no significant finance receivable balances that were past due and we had not established any allowances for credit losses. Additionally, there were no modifications of finance receivables during the three months ended March 31, 2017 or the year ended December 31, 2016. We evaluate the credit quality of our finance receivables utilizing an internal five-point credit rating scale, with one representing the highest credit quality and five representing the lowest. The credit quality evaluation of our finance receivables was last updated in the first quarter of 2017.

A summary of our finance receivables by internal credit quality rating is as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Number of Tenants / Obligors at		Carrying Value at
Internal Credit Quality Indicator	March 31, 2017	December 31, 2016	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016

5	—	—	—		—
			$	619,983	$	539,892

Note 6. Equity Investments in Real Estate

We own equity interests in net-leased properties that are generally leased to companies through noncontrolling interests (i) in partnerships and limited liability companies that we do not control but over which we exercise significant influence or (ii) as tenants-in-common subject to common control. Generally, the underlying investments are jointly owned with affiliates. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. Earnings for each investment are recognized in accordance with each respective investment agreement and, where applicable, based upon an allocation of the investment’s net assets at book value as if the investment were hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period.

As required by current authoritative accounting guidance, we periodically compare an investment’s carrying value to its estimated fair value and recognize an impairment charge to the extent that the carrying value exceeds fair value and such

decline is determined to be other than temporary. Additionally, we provide funding to developers for ADC Arrangements, under which we have provided loans to third-party developers of real estate projects, which we account for as equity investments as the characteristics of the arrangement with the third-party developers are more similar to a jointly owned investment or partnership rather than a loan.

(a) The carrying value of this investment is affected by the impact of fluctuations in the exchange rate of the applicable foreign currency.

(b) This investment is a VIE.

(c) In January 2017, our Hellweg 2 jointly owned equity investment repaid non-recourse mortgage loans at maturity with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $243.8 million, of which we contributed $80.5 million (amounts are based on the exchange rate of the euro as of the date of repayment). This contribution was accounted for as a capital contribution to equity investments in real estate.

(d) This investment represents a tenancy-in-common interest, whereby the property is encumbered by debt for which we are jointly and severally liable. The co-obligor is WPC and the amount due under the arrangement was approximately $69.0 million at March 31, 2017. Of this amount, $58.7 million represents the amount we agreed to pay and is included within the carrying value of this investment at March 31, 2017.

(e) This investment is reported using the hypothetical liquidation at book value model.

(f) Represents a domestic ADC Arrangement. There was no unfunded balance on the loan related to this investment at March 31, 2017.

(g) This investment represents a preferred equity interest, with a preferred rate of return of 12% during 2016 and thereafter until November 19, 2019, the date on which the preferred equity interest is redeemable.

(h) As of December 31, 2016, the carrying value included our investment in the Wheel Loan (Note 5) that was considered to be a VIE and was reported using the hypothetical liquidation at book value model. The Wheel Loan was restructured on March 17, 2017 and, as a result, we have derecognized the equity investment and recorded this investment as a loan receivable, included in Other assets, net and will no longer consider this to be a VIE.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts, and foreign currency collars; and Level 3, for securities and other derivative assets that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. For significant Level 3 items, we have also provided the unobservable inputs along with their weighted-average ranges.

Derivative Assets — Our derivative assets, which are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts, stock warrants, foreign currency collars, and a swaption (Note 9). The interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency collars, and swaption were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. The stock warrants were measured at fair value using internal valuation models that incorporated market inputs and our own assumptions about future cash flows. We classified these assets as Level 3 because they are not traded in an active market.

Derivative Liabilities — Our derivative liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate swaps and foreign currency collars (Note 9). These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 because they are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 measurements during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) included in earnings are reported within Other income and (expenses) on our consolidated financial statements.

Our other financial instruments had the following carrying values and fair values as of the dates shown (dollars in thousands):

		March 31, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Level	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Debt, net (a) (b)	3	$	1,895,407	$	1,930,477	$	2,022,250	$	2,053,353
Loans receivable (b)	3	110,500		110,500		31,500		31,500
CMBS (c)	3	4,554		7,456		4,027		7,470

___________

(a) The carrying value of Debt, net includes unamortized deferred financing costs of $8.5 million and $9.3 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

(b) We determined the estimated fair value of these financial instruments using a discounted cash flow model that estimates the present value of the future loan payments by discounting such payments at current estimated market interest rates. The estimated market interest rates take into account interest rate risk and the value of the underlying collateral, which includes quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, and the time until maturity.

(c) At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had three separate tranches of CMBS investments, which are scheduled to mature between November 2017 and February 2018. The carrying value of our CMBS is inclusive of impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2016, as well as accretion related to the estimated cash flows expected to be received.

We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities (excluding net investments in direct financing leases) had fair values that approximated their carrying values at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we were notified by the tenant currently occupying a property that we own with an affiliate, located in Waldaschaff, Germany, that they will not be renewing its lease. As a result of this information, and our expectation that we will not be able to replace the tenant upon the lease expiration, we recognized an impairment charge of $4.5 million, which included $1.5 million attributed to a noncontrolling interest (amounts are based on the exchange rate of the euro at the date of impairment). The fair value of the property after the impairment charge approximated $4.7 million. The fair value measurement related to the impairment charge was determined by estimating discounted cash flows using a cash flow discount rate of 9.75%, which is considered a significant unobservable input. Significant increases or decreases to this input would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement.

Note 9. Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments

Risk Management

In the normal course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are four main components of economic risk that impact us: interest rate risk, credit risk, market risk, and foreign currency risk. We are primarily subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing liabilities, including the Senior Credit Facility (Note 10). Credit risk is the risk of default on our operations and our tenants’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk includes changes in the value of our properties and related loans, as well as changes in the value of our other investments due to changes in interest rates or other market factors. We own investments in Europe and Asia and are subject to risks associated with fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.

Derivative Financial Instruments

When we use derivative instruments, it is generally to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate movements. We have not entered into, and do not plan to enter into, financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In addition to entering into derivative instruments on our own behalf, we may also be a party to derivative instruments that are embedded in other contracts and we may be granted common stock warrants by lessees when structuring lease transactions, which are considered to be derivative instruments. The primary risks related to our use of derivative instruments include a counterparty to a hedging arrangement defaulting on its obligation and a downgrade in the credit quality of a counterparty to such an extent that our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction is impaired. While we seek to mitigate these risks by entering into hedging arrangements with large financial institutions that we deem to be creditworthy, it is possible that our hedging transactions, which are intended to limit losses, could adversely affect our earnings. Furthermore, if we terminate a hedging arrangement, we may be obligated to pay certain costs, such as transaction or breakage fees. We have established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting, and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities.

We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For a derivative designated, and that qualified, as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. For a derivative designated, and that qualified, as a net investment hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value and/or the net settlement of the derivative is reported in Other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. For a derivative designated, and that qualified, as a net investment hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value and/or the net settlement of the derivative is reported in Other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of any derivative is immediately recognized in earnings

All derivative transactions with an individual counterparty are governed by a master International Swap and Derivatives Association agreement, which can be considered as a master netting arrangement; however, we report all our derivative instruments on a gross basis on our consolidated financial statements. At both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no cash collateral had been posted or received for any of our derivative positions.

See below for information regarding why we enter into our derivative instruments and concerning derivative instruments owned by unconsolidated investments, which are excluded from the tables above.

Interest Rate Swaps, Caps, and Swaption

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we attempt to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our investment partners have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate, non-recourse mortgage loans and, as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements, interest rate cap agreements or swaptions with counterparties. Interest rate swaps, which effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flow over a specific period. The notional, or face, amount on which the swaps are based is not exchanged. Interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable–rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share downward shifts in interest rates. A swaption gives us the right but not the obligation to enter into an interest rate swap, of which the terms and conditions are set on the trade date, on a specified date in the future. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.

The interest rate swaps, caps, and swaption that our consolidated subsidiaries had outstanding at March 31, 2017 are summarized as follows (currency in thousands):

				$	(4,535	)

__________

(a) Fair value amount is based on the exchange rate of the euro or British pound sterling at March 31, 2017, as applicable.

Foreign Currency Contracts

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate movements, primarily in the euro and, to a lesser extent, the British pound sterling, the Japanese yen, and the Norwegian krone. We manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by generally placing our debt service obligation on an investment in the same currency as the tenant’s rental obligation to us. This reduces our overall exposure to the net cash flow from that investment. However, we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate movements to the extent that there is a difference in the timing and amount of the rental obligation and the debt service. Realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings related to foreign currency transactions are included in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements.

In order to hedge certain of our foreign currency cash flow exposures, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and collars. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment to deliver a certain amount of currency at a certain price on a specific date in the future. A foreign currency collar consists of a written call option and a purchased put option to sell the foreign currency at a range of predetermined exchange rates. By entering into forward contracts and holding them to maturity, we are locked into a future currency exchange rate for the term of the contract. A foreign currency collar guarantees that the exchange rate of the currency will not fluctuate beyond the range of the options’ strike prices. Our foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency collars have maturities of 77 months or less.

The following table presents the foreign currency derivative contracts we had outstanding and their designations at March 31, 2017 (currency in thousands):

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

We measure our credit exposure on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value of our derivatives, net of any collateral received. No collateral was received as of March 31, 2017. At March 31, 2017, our total credit exposure was $34.9 million and the maximum exposure to any single counterparty was $15.9 million.

Some of the agreements with our derivative counterparties contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a declaration of default on our derivative obligations if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on certain of our indebtedness. At March 31, 2017, we had not been declared in default on any of our derivative obligations. The estimated fair value of our derivatives that were in a net liability position was $5.3 million and $6.7 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which included accrued interest and any nonperformance risk adjustments. If we had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at their aggregate termination value of $5.7 million and $7.3 million, respectively.

Portfolio Concentration Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants are engaged in similar business activities or have similar economic

risks or conditions that could cause them to default on their lease obligations to us. We regularly monitor our portfolio to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. See Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Portfolio Overview for more information about our portfolio concentration risk.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, our KBR Inc. tenant contributed 22.0% of our total revenues, which included $15.7 million as a result of a write-off of a below-market lease intangible liability that was recognized in rental income (Note 13).

Note 10. Debt

Debt, Net

At March 31, 2017, our mortgage notes payable bore interest at fixed annual rates ranging from 1.9% to 10.9% and variable contractual annual rates ranging from 1.3% to 6.0%, with maturity dates ranging from 2017 to 2031.

Financing Activity During 2017

On February 1, 2017, we refinanced a non-recourse mortgage loan of $92.4 million at maturity with a new loan of $105.0 million that has an interest rate of the London Interbank Offered rate, or LIBOR, plus 1.8% and is scheduled to mature in February 2020.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we repaid six non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $143.0 million, all of which were scheduled to mature in 2017 (amount is based on the exchange rate of the euro as of the date of repayment, as applicable). Of the $143.0 million, $60.0 million pertained to the non-recourse mortgage loan that was paid down in connection with the I-drive Property disposition (Note 4, Note 13) of which we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million.

In March 2017, we completed the sale of the KBR II property (Note 13), which had a non-recourse mortgage loan of $31.2 million at the time of sale. This mortgage loan, which has an interest rate 4.9% and is scheduled to mature in January 2024, has since been recollateralized with two of our existing net-lease properties. As a result of the swapping of the collateral of this loan, this debt is now considered to be a recourse mortgage loan to us in the event of a default.

Senior Credit Facility

On August 26, 2015, we entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, and a syndicate of other lenders, which we refer to herein as the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was amended on March 31, 2016 to clarify the Restricted Payments covenant (see below); no other terms were changed. The Credit Agreement provides for a $200.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, or the Revolver, and a $50.0 million delayed-draw term loan facility, or the Term Loan. We refer to the Revolver and the Term Loan together as the Senior Credit Facility, which has a maximum aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million and, subject to lender approval, an accordion feature of $250.0 million. The Senior Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on August 26, 2018, and may be extended by us for two 12-month periods.

The Senior Credit Facility provides for an annual interest rate of either (i) the Eurocurrency Rate or (ii) the Base Rate, in each case plus the Applicable Rate (each as defined in the Credit Agreement). With respect to the Revolver, the Applicable Rate on Eurocurrency loans and letters of credit ranges from 1.50% to 2.25% (based on LIBOR) and the Applicable Rate on Base Rate loans ranges from 0.50% to 1.25% (as defined in the Credit Agreement), depending on our leverage ratio. With respect to the Term Loan, the Applicable Rate on Eurocurrency loans and letters of credit ranges from 1.45% to 2.20% (based on LIBOR) and the Applicable Rate on Base Rate loans ranges from 0.45% to 1.20% (as defined in the Credit Agreement), depending on our leverage ratio. In addition, we pay a fee of either 0.15% or 0.30% on the unused portion of the Senior Credit Facility. If usage of the Senior Credit Facility is equal to or greater than 50% of the Aggregate Commitments, the Unused Fee Rate will be 0.15%, and if usage of the Senior Credit Facility is less than 50% of the Aggregate Commitments, the Unused Fee Rate will be 0.30%. In connection with the transaction, we incurred costs of $1.9 million, which are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the Senior Credit Facility.

The following table presents a summary of our Senior Credit Facility (dollars in thousands):

	Interest Rate at March 31, 2017	Outstanding Balance at

__________

(a) Includes unamortized deferred financing costs and discounts.

(b) Amount is based on the exchange rate of the euro at March 31, 2017.

On September 30, 2016, we exercised the delayed draw option on our Term Loan and borrowed $50.0 million. The Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR + 1.55% and is scheduled to mature on August 26, 2018, unless extended pursuant to its terms. The Revolver and Term Loan are used for our working capital needs and for new investments, as well as for general corporate purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we drew down $33.8 million from our Senior Credit Facility (amount is based on the exchange rate of the euro on the date of draw). On April 11, 2017, we repaid the Revolver balance in full (Note 15).

We are required to ensure that the total Restricted Payments (as defined in the amended Credit Agreement) in an aggregate amount in any fiscal year does not exceed the greater of 95% of MFFO and the amount of Restricted Payments required in order for us to (i) maintain our REIT status and (ii) avoid the payment of federal or state income or excise tax. Restricted Payments include quarterly dividends and the total amount of shares repurchased by us, if any, in excess of $100.0 million per year. In addition to placing limitations on dividend distributions and share repurchases, the Credit Agreement also stipulates certain customary financial covenants. We were in compliance with all such covenants at March 31, 2017.

Certain amounts in the table above are based on the applicable foreign currency exchange rate at March 31, 2017. The carrying value of our Debt, net increased by $9.8 million from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017 due the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, particularly the euro and the British pound sterling, during the same period.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

At March 31, 2017, we were not involved in any material litigation. Various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business are pending against us. The results of these proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. At March 31, 2017, we had unfunded construction commitments of $8.8 million primarily related to one of our completed build-to-suit projects.

Note 13. Property Dispositions

From time to time, we may decide to sell a property. We have an active capital recycling program, with a goal of extending the average lease term through reinvestment, improving portfolio credit quality through dispositions and acquisitions of assets, increasing the asset criticality factor in our portfolio, and/or executing strategic dispositions of assets. We may decide to dispose of a property due to vacancy, tenants electing not to renew their leases, tenant insolvency, or lease rejection in the bankruptcy process. In such cases, we assess whether we can obtain the highest value from the property by selling it, as opposed to re-leasing it. We may also sell a property when we receive an unsolicited offer or negotiate a price for an investment that is consistent with our strategy for that investment. When it is appropriate to do so, we classify the property as an asset held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet.

Property Dispositions

The results of operations for properties that have been sold or classified as held for sale are included in the consolidated financial statements and are summarized as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017			2016
Revenues	$	6,677		$	11,566

2017 Dispositions

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we sold one of our net-lease properties to the developer that constructed the I-drive Property for net proceeds of $23.5 million, inclusive of $34.0 million of financing provided by us to the developer in the form of a mezzanine loan, and recorded a deferred gain on sale of $2.1 million, which will be recognized into income upon recovery of the cost of the property (Note 4, Note 5). The developer repaid the $60.0 million non-recourse mortgage loan encumbering the I-drive Property at closing (Note 10). In addition, in connection with the I-drive Wheel restructuring, we recorded a deferred gain of $16.4 million, which will be recognized into income upon recovery of the cost of the Wheel Loan (Note 5).

In August 2016, we simultaneously entered into two agreements with one of our tenants, KBR, Inc., to amend the lease at one property and terminate the lease at another property, both located in Houston, Texas. The lease modification and lease termination were contingent upon one another and became effective upon disposing of one net-lease property on March 13, 2017, which was previously classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2016. Upon disposition, we received proceeds of $14.1 million, net of closing costs, and recognized a gain on sale of $1.6 million. In addition, as a result of the aforementioned lease modification, contractual rents were renegotiated to be at market and the existing below-market rent lease liability of $15.7 million was written off and recognized into Rental income during the three months ended March 31, 2017 (Note 7). In addition, as a result of the termination of the lease noted above, we accelerated the below-market lease intangible liabilities of $3.3 million that were also recognized into Rental income during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

2016 Disposition

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we sold three self-storage properties for total proceeds of $46.4 million, net of closing costs, and recognized a gain on this sale of $25.4 million. The proceeds from the sale were used to repay a non-recourse mortgage loan encumbering the properties with an outstanding principal balance of $15.0 million and premium, interest, and closing costs of $2.4 million at the time of the sale. Total revenues from these properties were $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Resultsof Operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements and the reasons for changes in certain key components of our financial statements from period to period. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also provides the reader with our perspective on our financial position and liquidity, as well as certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the 2016 Annual Report and subsequent reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

We operate in two reportable business segments: Net Lease and Self Storage. Our Net Lease segment includes our domestic and foreign investments in net-leased properties, whether they are accounted for as operating or direct financing leases. Our Self Storage segment is comprised of our investments in self-storage properties. In addition, we have investments in loans receivable, CMBS, one hotel, and other properties, which are included in our All Other category (Note 14).

Business Overview

We are a publicly owned, non-traded REIT that invests primarily in commercial properties leased to companies domestically and internationally. As opportunities arise, we also make other types of commercial real estate-related investments. As a REIT, we are not subject to U.S. federal income taxation as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income, the level of our distributions, and other factors. We earn revenue principally by leasing the properties we own to single corporate tenants, primarily on a triple-net lease basis, which requires the tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property. Revenue is subject to fluctuation because of the timing of new lease transactions, lease terminations, lease expirations, contractual rent adjustments, tenant defaults, sales of properties, and foreign currency exchange rates. We were formed in 2007 and are managed by our Advisor. We hold substantially all of our assets and conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership. We are the general partner of, and own 99.99% of the interests in, the Operating Partnership. The remaining interest in the Operating Partnership is held by a subsidiary of WPC.

Significant Developments

Management Changes

On March 28, 2017, we announced that Ms. Mallika Sinha was appointed as our chief financial officer, succeeding Ms. ToniAnn Sanzone, who resigned from that position, effective as of that same date. Ms. Sanzone remains the chief financial officer of WPC. Ms. Sinha served as the Company’s Executive Director – Corporate Finance from January 2016 to March 2017, having served as Senior Vice President – Corporate Finance from April 2013 to December 2015.

Net Asset Value

Our Advisor calculates our net asset value per share, or NAV, annually as of year-end, and on March 20, 2017, we announced that our Advisor had determined that our NAV was $10.11 as of December 31, 2016. Our Advisor generally calculates our NAV by relying in part on an appraisal of the fair market value of our real estate provided by a third party, adjusted to give effect to the estimated fair value of mortgage loans encumbering our assets (also provided by a third party) as well as other adjustments. Our NAV is based on a number of variables, including individual tenant credits, lease terms, lending credit spreads, foreign currency exchange rates, and tenant defaults, among others. We do not control all of these variables and, as such, cannot predict how they will change in the future. For additional information regarding the calculation of our NAV as of December 31, 2016, please see our Current Report Form 8-K dated March 20, 2017.

Acquisition

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we acquired one domestic investment at a total cost of approximately $11.5 million, inclusive of acquisition-related costs and fees.

CPA^®:17 – Global 3/31/17 10-Q – 31

Dispositions

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we sold one net-lease property that was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2016, for total proceeds of $14.1 million, net of closing costs and recognized a gain on the sale of $1.6 million. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2017, we sold one of our net-lease properties to the developer that constructed the I-drive Property for net proceeds of $23.5 million, inclusive of $34.0 million of financing provided by us to the developer in the form of a mezzanine loan, and recorded a deferred gain on sale of $2.1 million, which will be recognized upon recovery of the cost of the property (Note 4, Note 5). In addition, in connection with the I-drive Wheel restructuring, we recorded a deferred gain of $16.4 million, which will be recognized into income upon recovery of the cost of the Wheel Loan (Note 5).

Financing Activity

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we refinanced one non-recourse mortgage loan totaling $92.4 million with new non-recourse mortgage financing totaling $105.0 million that has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.8% and is scheduled to mature in February 2020. In addition, on February 27, 2017, we drew down $33.8 million from our Senior Credit Facility (amount is based on the exchange rate of the euro on the date of draw).

In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2017, we repaid six non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $143.0 million, all of which were scheduled to mature in 2017 (amount is based on the exchange rate of the euro as of the date of repayment, as applicable). Of the $143.0 million, $60.0 million pertained to the non-recourse mortgage loan that was paid down in conjunction with the sale of the I-drive Property (Note 4) of which we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million (Note 10).

Terms and Definitions

Pro Rata Metrics— The portfolio information above contains certain metrics prepared under the pro rata consolidation method.We refer to these metrics as pro rata metrics. We have a number of investments, usually with our affiliates, in which our economic ownership is less than 100%. Under the full consolidation method, we report 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of those investments that are deemed to be under our control or for which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, even if our ownership is less than 100%. Also, for all other jointly owned investments, which we do not control, we report our net investment and our net income or loss from that investment. Under the pro rata consolidation method, we present our proportionate share, based on our economic ownership of these jointly owned investments, of the portfolio metrics of those investments.

ABR —ABR represents contractual minimum annualized base rent for our net-leased properties and reflects exchange rates as of the date of this Report. If there is a rent abatement, we annualize the first monthly contractual base rent following the free rent period. ABR is not applicable to operating properties.

Consolidated Results

Revenues and Net Income Attributable to CPA^®:17 – Global

Total revenues increased during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to the write-off and acceleration of below-market lease intangible liabilities of $15.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, related to the KBR Inc. lease modification/termination, which was recognized in Rental income in the current year period (Note 13), all of which were partially offset by a $3.5 million decrease in Other real estate income that related to the operating properties that were disposed of during 2016. Net income attributable to CPA^®:17 – Global decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to a $25.4 million gain on sale of real estate, net of tax, that was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2016, partially offset by the write off of the below-market lease intangible liabilities noted above.

FFO attributable to CPA^®:17 – Global

FFO attributable to CPA^®:17 – Global increased during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to the write-off and acceleration of the below-market lease intangible liabilities noted above, the accretive impact of our investments acquired, and a reduction in interest expense as a result of loan payoffs and refinancings.

MFFO and Adjusted MFFO Attributable to CPA^®:17 – Global

MFFO and Adjusted MFFO attributable to CPA^®:17 – Global increased during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to a reduction in interest expense, the improved operating performance of two of our equity investments, and the accretive impact of our investments acquired. These increases were partially offset by the impact of dispositions subsequent to March 31, 2016.

Results of Operations

We evaluate our results of operations with a primary focus on our ability to generate cash flow necessary to meet our objectives of funding distributions to stockholders and increasing the value in our real estate investments. As a result, our assessment of operating results gives less emphasis to the effect of unrealized gains and losses, which may cause fluctuations in net income for comparable periods but have no impact on cash flows, and to other non-cash charges, such as depreciation and impairment charges.

Lease Composition and Leasing Activities

As of March 31, 2017, approximately 52.9% of our net leases, based on consolidated ABR, provide for adjustments based on formulas indexed to changes in the CPI, or similar indices for the jurisdiction in which the property is located, some of which have caps and/or floors. In addition, 44.1% of our net leases on that same basis have fixed rent adjustments, for which consolidated ABR is scheduled to increase by an average of 2.7% in the next 12 months. We own international investments and, therefore, lease revenues from these investments are subject to exchange rate fluctuations in various foreign currencies, primarily the euro.

The following discussion presents a summary of rents on existing properties arising from leases with new tenants, or second generation leases, and renewed leases with existing tenants for the periods presented and, therefore, does not include new acquisitions for our portfolio during the periods presented.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we signed five such leases totaling 925,687 square feet of leased space, which were all extensions with existing tenants. The weighted-average new rent for these leases is $13.91 per square foot, compared to the average former rent of $12.41 per square foot.

CPA^®:17 – Global 3/31/17 10-Q – 42

Property level contribution is a non-GAAP measure that we believe to be a useful supplemental measure for management and investors in evaluating and analyzing the financial results of our net-leased and operating properties over time. Property level contribution presents the lease and operating property revenues, less property expenses and depreciation and amortization. We believe that Property level contribution allows for meaningful comparison between periods of the direct costs of owning and operating our net-leased assets and operating properties. When a property is leased on a net lease basis, reimbursable tenant costs are recorded as both income and property expense and, therefore, have no impact on the Property level contribution. While we believe that Property level contribution is a useful supplemental measure, it should not be considered as an alternative to Net income attributable to CPA^®:17 – Global as an indication of our operating performance.

Existing Net-Leased Properties

Existing net-leased properties are those we acquired or placed into service prior to January 1, 2016 and were not sold during the periods presented. At March 31, 2017, we had 238 existing net-leased properties.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, Property level contribution for existing net-leased properties increased by $15.2 million, primarily due to an increase in lease revenues of $14.9 million, as well a decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.4 million. Lease revenues increased primarily due to the $15.7 million write-off of a below-market lease intangible liability that was recognized in Rental income, as a result of the KBR lease modification (Note 13) in the current period, partially offset by a decrease of $1.0 million related to the decrease in the average exchange rate of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies (primarily the euro) between the periods.

Recently Acquired Net-Leased Properties

Recently acquired net-leased properties are those that we acquired or placed into service subsequent to December 31, 2015. Since January 1, 2016, we acquired nine investments, comprised of 19 properties.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, Property level contribution from recently acquired net-leased properties increased by $1.9 million, primarily due to an increase in lease revenues of $3.7 million as a result of the new investments that we acquired or placed into service during 2017 and 2016, partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization expenses and property expenses of $1.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, as a result of those new investments.

Existing Operating Properties

Existing operating properties are those we acquired prior to January 1, 2016 and were not sold during the periods presented. At March 31, 2017, we had 32 wholly owned self-storage properties. Additionally, other real estate operations includes the results of operations of a parking garage attached to one of our existing net-leased properties.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, Property level contribution from existing operating properties increased by $0.6 million, primarily due to an increase in operating revenues of $0.3 million and a decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.3 million. Operating revenues increased primarily due an increase in the average unit rate in 2017 compared to 2016. Depreciation and amortization decreased because certain of our in place lease intangible assets were fully amortized prior to January 1, 2017.

Recently Acquired Operating Properties

Recently acquired operating properties includes five self-storage properties, in which we acquired the remaining 15% controlling interest in April 2016 and were previously accounted for as an equity investment in real estate. As a result of the acquisition of the controlling interest, we have consolidated this investment since April 2016 and reflect 100% of the Property level contribution from these assets.

Properties Sold or Held for Sale

Properties sold or held for sale for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, are those that were sold or held for sale subsequent to December 31, 2015.

CPA^®:17 – Global 3/31/17 10-Q – 43

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we sold one net-lease property that was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2016 (Note 13) and completed the sale of the I-drive Property. As a result, Property level contribution for current period includes $3.3 million of acceleration of certain lease intangibles, which is included in lease revenues.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we sold three self-storage properties that were previously classified as operating properties in the consolidated financial statements and had five self-storage properties classified as Assets held for sale, which were subsequently sold on April 12, 2016.

Other Revenues and Expenses

Interest Income and Other

Interest income and other primarily consists of interest earned on our loans receivable and CMBS investments, as well as other income received related to our properties. Interest income and other has not substantially changed during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.

Property Expenses — Asset Management Fees

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, asset management fees decreased by $0.2 million as a result of dispositions since March 31, 2016, slightly offset by an increase in the estimated fair market value of our real estate portfolio, both of which impact the asset base from which our Advisor earns a fee.

Impairment Charges

Where the undiscounted cash flows for an asset are less than the asset’s carrying value when considering and evaluating the various alternative courses of action that may occur, we recognize an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value. Further, when we classify an asset as held for sale, we carry the asset at the lower of its current carrying value or its fair value, less estimated cost to sell. Our impairment charges are more fully described in Note 8.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we incurred an impairment charge of $4.5 million on a property in order to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value. The fair value measurement approximated its estimated selling price, less estimated costs to sell. We did not incur any impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

General and Administrative

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.9 million, primarily due to decreases in investor relations expenses and personnel and overhead reimbursement costs of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The decrease in personnel and overhead reimbursement costs were primarily driven by an increase in revenue from other entities managed by WPC and its affiliates, which directly impacts the allocation of our Advisor’s expenses to us (Note 3).

Acquisition and Other Expenses

Acquisition expenses represent direct costs incurred to acquire properties in transactions that are accounted for as business combinations, whereby such costs are required to be expensed as incurred (Note 4). On January 1, 2017, we adopted ASU 2017-01 (Note 2), and, as a result, future transaction costs are more likely to be capitalized since we expect most of our future acquisitions to be classified as asset acquisitions under this new standard. In addition, goodwill will no longer be allocated and written off upon sale if future sales were deemed to be sales of assets and not businesses.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, Acquisition and other expenses decreased by $0.6 million, primarily because none of our 2017 acquisitions were deemed to be business combinations. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we incurred $0.8 million of acquisition and other expenses, which included $0.4 million of transaction costs related to certain of our previously acquired self-storage properties and $0.3 million related to deal costs for transactions that did not transpire as anticipated.

CPA^®:17 – Global 3/31/17 10-Q – 44

Interest Expense

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, interest expense decreased by $1.2 million, primarily due to a decrease of $1.9 million related to a lower weighted-average interest rate on our average outstanding debt during the periods presented, partially offset by an increase in our average outstanding debt balance. Our weighted-average interest rate was 4.1% and 4.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our average outstanding debt balance was $2.1 billion and $2.0 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This decrease was slightly offset by certain loan modification fees and amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.6 million, primarily due to the early termination of the mortgage loan encumbering the I-drive Property, which was disposed of in the current period (Note 10, Note 13).

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.5 million, primarily due to the early termination of certain mortgage loans that were associated with our 2016 dispositions (Note 13).

Equity in Earnings of Equity Method Investments in Real Estate

Equity in earnings of equity method investments in real estate is recognized in accordance with the investment agreement for each of our equity method investments and, where applicable, based upon an allocation of the investment’s net assets at book value as if the investment were hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period. Further details about our equity method investments are discussed in Note 6. The following table presents the details of our Equity in earnings of equity method investments in real estate (in thousands):

__________

(a) Amounts include impact of fluctuations in the exchange rate of the applicable foreign currency.

(b) The increase in equity earnings is due to the reduction in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, which is a result of a related mortgage loan that was repaid in January 2017 (Note 6).

(c) In April 2016, we purchased the remaining 15% controlling interest in this equity investment and therefore consolidated this investment since the date of purchase of the controlling interest.

(d) The decrease in equity earnings is because we were required to absorb the majority of the losses on this investment during the three months ended March 31, 2017, since the other partners’ capital balances had been reduced to zero. We were only partially responsible for absorbing losses during the same period in 2016.

(e) The decrease in equity earnings is primarily due to a bargain purchase gain recorded by the investment in the prior year period.

Other Income and (Expenses)

Other income and (expenses) primarily consists of gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, and derivative instruments. We make intercompany loans to a number of our foreign subsidiaries, most of which do not have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Remeasurement of foreign currency intercompany transactions that are scheduled for settlement,

CPA^®:17 – Global 3/31/17 10-Q – 46

consisting primarily of accrued interest and short term loans, are included in the determination of net income. We also recognize gains or losses on foreign currency transactions when we repatriate cash from our foreign investments or hold foreign currencies in entities designated as U.S. dollar functional currency. In addition, we have certain derivative instruments, including common stock warrants, foreign currency contracts, and a swaption, that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, for which realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings. The timing and amount of such gains or losses cannot always be estimated and are subject to fluctuation.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized net other income of $5.7 million, which was primarily comprised of gains recognized on derivatives of $2.7 million, unrealized foreign currency transaction gains related to our international investments of $2.5 million, and other interest income of $0.5 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized net other income of $6.0 million, which was primarily comprised of realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains related to our international investments of $3.8 million and gains recognized on derivatives of $2.2 million. 

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes is primarily related to our international properties.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.6 million, comprised of current income taxes of $0.8 million, partially offset by deferred income tax benefits of $0.2 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.9 million, primarily comprised of deferred income taxes of $1.2 million and current income taxes of $0.8 million.

Gain on Sale of Real Estate, Net of Tax

Gain on sale of real estate, net of tax consists of gain on the sale of properties that were sold.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized a gain on sale of real estate, net of tax of $1.7 million primarily as a result of the sale of one net-lease property that was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2016 (Note 13).

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized a gain on sale of real estate, net of tax, of $25.4 million as a result of the sale of three self-storage properties (Note 13).

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased by $1.1 million, primarily due to a decrease of $1.5 million related to an impairment charge incurred on one of our jointly owned investments that we consolidate (Note 8), partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in the Available Cash Distribution paid to our Advisor (Note 3).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We use the cash flow generated from our investments primarily to meet our operating expenses, service debt, and fund distributions to stockholders. We currently expect that, for the short term, the aforementioned cash requirements will be funded by our cash on hand, financings, or unused capacity under our Senior Credit Facility. We may also use proceeds from financings and asset sales for the acquisition of real estate and real estate related investments.

Our liquidity would be affected adversely by unanticipated costs and greater-than-anticipated operating expenses. To the extent that our working capital reserve is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, additional funds may be provided from cash generated from operations or through short-term borrowings. In addition, we may incur indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of real estate, refinance the debt thereon, arrange for the leveraging of any previously unfinanced property, or reinvest the proceeds of financings or refinancings in additional properties.

CPA^®:17 – Global 3/31/17 10-Q – 47

Sources and Uses of Cash During the Period

We expect to continue to invest in a diversified portfolio of income-producing commercial properties and other real estate-related assets. Our cash flows will fluctuate periodically due to a number of factors, which may include, among other things, the timing of purchases and sales of real estate; the timing of the receipt of the proceeds from, and the repayment of, non-recourse mortgage loans and the receipt of lease revenues; whether our Advisor receives fees in shares of our common stock or cash, which our board of directors must elect, after consultation with our Advisor; the timing and characterization of distributions received from equity investments in real estate; the timing of payments of the Available Cash Distribution to our Advisor; and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Despite these fluctuations, we believe our investments will generate sufficient cash from operations and from equity distributions in excess of equity income in real estate to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We may also use existing cash resources, the proceeds of non-recourse mortgage loans, sales of assets, unused capacity under our Senior Credit Facility, distributions reinvested in our common stock through our DRIP, and the issuance of additional equity securities to meet these needs. We assess our ability to access capital on an ongoing basis. Our sources and uses of cash during the period are described below.

Operating Activities —Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $6.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to the outstanding rent that was received upon the completion of the I-drive Property disposition (Note 6).

Investing Activities —Our investing activities are generally comprised of real estate-related transactions (purchases and sales), payment of deferred acquisition fees to our Advisor related to asset acquisitions, and capitalized property-related costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we completed the sale of two net-lease properties for total proceeds of $96.7 million, net of selling costs (Note 4). We used $82.0 million to fund capital contributions to our equity investments in real estate, primarily due to the $80.5 million contribution for Hellweg 2 jointly owned equity investment (Note 5), and received $17.8 million as a return of capital from our equity method investments. We funded $11.4 million for a real estate acquisition.

Financing Activities — During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we made scheduled and unscheduled mortgage principal payments totaling $243.1 million and received $104.3 million in proceeds from non-recourse mortgage financings related to new and existing investments (Note 10). We paid distributions to our stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2016 totaling $55.8 million, which consisted of $30.0 million of cash distributions and $25.8 million of distributions that were reinvested by stockholders in shares of our common stock through our DRIP. We received $33.9 million of proceeds related to the Revolver under our Senior Credit Facility. We also paid $11.3 million for the repurchase of shares pursuant to our redemption plan as described below, and paid distributions of $9.9 million to affiliates that hold noncontrolling interests in various investments jointly owned with us.

Distributions

Our objectives are to generate sufficient cash flow over time to provide stockholders with distributions and to seek investments with potential for capital appreciation throughout varying economic cycles. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we declared distributions to our stockholders totaling $56.1 million, which consisted of $30.4 million of cash distributions and $25.7 million of distributions reinvested by stockholders in our shares through our DRIP. We funded all of these distributions from Net cash provided by operating activities. Since inception, we have funded 98% of our cumulative distributions from Net cash provided by operating activities, with the remaining 2%, or $20.5 million, being funded primarily from proceeds of our public offerings and, to a lesser extent, other sources. Cash flow from operations is first applied to current period distributions, then to any deficit from prior period cumulative negative cash flow, and finally to future period distributions. As we have fully invested the proceeds of our offerings, we expect that in the future, if distributions cannot be fully sourced from net cash provided by operating activities, they may be sourced from the proceeds of financings or sales of assets. In determining our distribution policy during the periods in which we are investing capital, we place primary emphasis on projections of cash flow from operations, together with cash distributions from our unconsolidated investments, rather than on historical results of operations (though these and other factors may be a part of our consideration). Thus, in setting a distribution rate, we focus primarily on expected returns from those investments we have already made, as well as our anticipated rate of return from future investments, to assess the sustainability of a particular distribution rate over time.

Redemptions

We maintain a quarterly redemption program pursuant to which we may, at the discretion of our board of directors, redeem shares of our common stock from stockholders seeking liquidity. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we received 391 requests to redeem 1,196,536 shares of our common stock pursuant to our redemption plan, all of which were redeemed as of the date of this Report. The weighted-average price per share at which the shares were redeemed was $9.47, which is net of redemption fees, totaling $11.3 million.

Cash Resources

At March 31, 2017, our cash resources consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents totaling $209.1 million. Of this amount, $34.5 million, at then-current exchange rates, was held in foreign subsidiaries, but we could be subject to restrictions or significant costs should we decide to repatriate these amounts. As of the date of this Report, we also had unused capacity of $200.0 million on our Senior Credit Facility. Our cash resources may be used for future investments and can be used for working capital needs, other commitments, and distributions to our stockholders.

CPA^®:17 – Global 3/31/17 10-Q – 49

Cash Requirements

During the next 12 months, we expect that our cash requirements will include payments to acquire new investments; funding capital commitments, such as build-to-suit projects and ADC Arrangements; paying distributions to our stockholders and to our affiliates that hold noncontrolling interests in entities we control; making share repurchases pursuant to our redemption plan; making scheduled debt service payments and repayments of borrowings under our Revolver (Note 10); as well as other normal recurring operating expenses. Balloon payments totaling $162.4 million on our consolidated non-recourse mortgage loan obligations are also due during the next 12 months. Our Advisor is actively seeking to refinance certain of these loans, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so on favorable terms, or at all. Capital and other lease commitments totaling $11.7 million are expected to be funded during the next 12 months. We expect to fund future investments, capital commitments, any capital expenditures on existing properties, scheduled and unscheduled debt payments on our mortgage loans, and repayments of borrowings under our Revolver through the use of our cash reserves; cash generated from operations; and proceeds from repayments of loans receivable, financings, and asset sales.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

Amounts in the table above that relate to our foreign operations are based on the exchange rate of the local currencies at March 31, 2017, which consisted primarily of the euro. At March 31, 2017, we had no material capital lease obligations for which we were the lessee, either individually or in the aggregate.

CPA^®:17 – Global 3/31/17 10-Q – 50

Equity Method Investments

We have interests in unconsolidated investments that primarily own single-tenant properties net leased to companies. Generally, the underlying investments are jointly owned with our affiliates (Note 6). At March 31, 2017, on a combined basis, these investments had total assets of approximately $3.5 billion and third-party non-recourse mortgage debt of $2.3 billion. At that date, our pro rata share of the aggregate debt for these investments was $360.9 million. Cash requirements with respect to our share of these debt obligations are discussed above under Cash Requirements.

Supplemental Financial Measures

In the real estate industry, analysts and investors employ certain non-GAAP supplemental financial measures in order to facilitate meaningful comparisons between periods and among peer companies. Additionally, in the formulation of our goals and in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our strategies, we use FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO, which are non-GAAP measures. We believe that these measures are useful to investors to consider because they may assist them to better understand and measure the performance of our business over time and against similar companies. A description of FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided below.

FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc., or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a non-GAAP measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure, when used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental non-GAAP measure. FFO is not equivalent to nor a substitute for net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, impairment charges on real estate, and depreciation and amortization from real estate assets; and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments are calculated to reflect FFO. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above. However, NAREIT’s definition of FFO does not distinguish between the conventional method of equity accounting and the hypothetical liquidation at book value method of accounting for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments.

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, especially if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances and/or is requested or required by lessees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that, since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment, and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate-related depreciation and amortization, as well as impairment charges of real estate-related assets, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management; and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. In particular, we believe it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions, which can change over time. An asset will only be evaluated for impairment if certain impairment indicators exist. Then a two-step process is performed, of which first is to determine whether an asset is impaired by comparing the carrying value, or book value, to the total estimated undiscounted future cash flows (including net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and any other ancillary cash flows at a property or group level under GAAP) from such asset, then measure the impairment loss as the excess of the carrying value over its estimated fair value. It should be noted, however, that determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance, because estimated undiscounted future cash flows from a property (including estimated future net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows) are taken into account in determining

CPA^®:17 – Global 3/31/17 10-Q – 51

whether an impairment charge has been incurred. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO described above due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges. However, FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO, as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating the operating performance of the company. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP measures FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO.

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) were put into effect in 2009. These changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, such as acquisition fees that are typically accounted for as operating expenses. Management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. Publicly registered, non-traded REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. While other start-up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that non-traded REITs are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after acquisition activity ceases. We currently intend to begin the process of achieving a liquidity event (i.e., listing of our common stock on a national exchange, a merger or sale of our assets, or another similar transaction) within eight to 12 years following the investment of substantially all of the net proceeds from our initial public offering, which occurred in April 2011. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-traded REITs, the Investment Program Association, an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the Investment Program Association has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-traded REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate non-GAAP measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-traded REIT having the characteristics described above. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended. We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO, and also excludes acquisition fees and expenses that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, MFFO can provide, on a going forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring properties and once our portfolio is in place. By providing MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance now that our offering has been completed and once essentially all of our properties have been acquired. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-traded REIT industry. Further, we believe MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance, with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of a company’s operating performance after a company’s offering has been completed and properties have been acquired, as it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on a company’s operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.

We define MFFO consistent with the Investment Program Association’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, or the Practice Guideline, issued by the Investment Program Association in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, included in the determination of GAAP net income, as applicable: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of above- and below-market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments); accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; nonrecurring impairments of real estate-related investments (i.e., infrequent or unusual, not reasonably likely to recur in the ordinary course of business); mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives, or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses that are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized.

CPA^®:17 – Global 3/31/17 10-Q – 52

Our MFFO calculation complies with the Investment Program Association’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition-related expenses, amortization of above- and below-market leases, fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments, deferred rent receivables, and the adjustments of such items related to noncontrolling interests. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by a company. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by the company, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses, and other costs related to such property. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flow from operating activities.

Our management uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate our performance against other non-traded REITs, which have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate in this manner. We believe that MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allow us to present our performance in a manner that takes into account certain characteristics unique to non-traded REITs, such as their limited life, defined acquisition period, and targeted exit strategy, and is therefore a useful measure for investors. For example, acquisition costs are generally funded from the proceeds of our offering and other financing sources and not from operations. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.

In addition, our management uses Adjusted MFFO as another measure of sustainable operating performance. Adjusted MFFO adjusts MFFO for deferred income tax expenses and benefits, which are non-cash items that may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on current period cash flows. Additionally, we adjust MFFO to reflect the realized gains/losses on the settlement of foreign currency derivatives to arrive at Adjusted MFFO. Foreign currency derivatives are a fundamental part of our operations in that they help us manage the foreign currency exposure we have associated with cash flows from our international investments

Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance.

Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT, or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-traded REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO, MFFO, or Adjusted MFFO accordingly.

__________

(a) Includes $1.5 million related to an impairment charge from one of our consolidated joint-venture investments (Note 8).

(b) Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that, by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.

(c) Includes $15.7 million and $3.3 million write-off and acceleration of a below-market rent lease liabilities, respectively, pertaining to our KBR Inc. properties that were recognized in Rental income during the three months ended March 31, 2017 (Note 13).

(d) Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using an accrual basis. This may result in timing of income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), management believes that MFFO and Adjusted MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, provides insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

CPA^®:17 – Global 3/31/17 10-Q – 54

(e) In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for non-traded REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, management believes MFFO and Adjusted MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our Advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income, a performance measure under GAAP. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to stockholders, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to the property. On January 1, 2017, we adopted ASU 2017-01 (Note 2), and, as a result, transaction costs are more likely to be capitalized since we expect most of our future acquisitions to be classified as asset acquisitions under this new standard. In addition, goodwill will no longer be allocated and written off upon sale if future sales were deemed to be sales of assets and not businesses.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market Risk

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity prices. The primary risks that we are exposed to are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk. We are also exposed to further market risk as a result of tenant concentrations in certain industries and/or geographic regions, since adverse market factors can affect the ability of tenants in a particular industry/region to meet their respective lease obligations. In order to manage this risk, our Advisor views our collective tenant roster as a portfolio and attempts to diversify such portfolio so that we are not overexposed to a particular industry or geographic region.

Generally, we do not use derivative instruments to hedge credit/market risks or for speculative purposes. However, from time to time, we may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge our foreign currency cash flow exposures.

Interest Rate Risk

The values of our real estate, related fixed-rate debt obligations, our Senior Credit Facility, and our loans receivable investments are subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates. The value of our real estate is also subject to fluctuations based on local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled, if we do not choose to repay the debt when due. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the fair value of assets to decrease. Increases in interest rates may also have an impact on the credit profile of certain tenants.

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we have historically attempted to obtain non-recourse mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our joint investment partners have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans, and, as a result, we have entered into, swaptions, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with lenders. Interest rate swap agreements effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, while interest rate cap agreements limit the underlying interest rate from exceeding a specified strike rate. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flows over a specific period, and interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. These interest rate swaps and caps are derivative instruments that, where applicable, are designated as cash flow hedges on the forecasted interest payments on the debt obligation. The face amount on which the swaps or caps are based is not exchanged. A swaption is an option that gives us the right, but not the obligation, to enter into an interest rate swap under which we would pay a fixed-rate and receive a variable-rate. At the option’s expiration, we may also elect to cash settle the option if such option is “in-the-money” or allow the option to expire at no additional cost to us. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements. At March 31, 2017, we estimated that the total fair value of our interest rate swaps, caps, and swaption, which are included in Other assets, net and Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, was in a net liability position of $4.5 million (Note 9).

At March 31, 2017, our outstanding debt either bore interest at fixed rates, bore interest at floating rates, was swapped or capped to a fixed rate, or bore interest at fixed rates that were scheduled to convert to then-prevailing market fixed rates at certain future points during their term. The annual interest rates on our fixed-rate debt at March 31, 2017 ranged from 1.9% to 10.9%. The contractual annual interest rates on our variable-rate debt at March 31, 2017 ranged from 1.3% to 6.0%. Our debt obligations are more fully described in Note 10 and Liquidity and Capital Resources – Summary of Financing in Item 7 above. The following table presents principal cash outflows based upon expected maturity dates of our debt obligations outstanding at March 31, 2017 (in thousands):

	2017 (Remaining)		2018		2019		2020		2021		Thereafter		Total		Fair value
Fixed-rate debt (a)	$	160,418	$	57,462	$	28,420	$	118,158	$	213,720	$	580,993	$	1,159,171	$	1,181,859
Variable-rate debt (a) (b)	$	24,233	$	117,037	$	42,945	$	222,889	$	219,488	$	207,565	$	834,157	$	798,618

__________

(a) Amounts are based on the exchange rate at March 31, 2017, as applicable.

CPA^®:17 – Global 3/31/17 10-Q – 56

(b) Includes $50.0 million and $34.2 million outstanding under the Term Loan and Revolver, respectively, under our Senior Credit Facility, which is scheduled to mature on August 26, 2018, unless extended pursuant to its terms. We repaid the Revolver in full on April 11, 2017 (Note 15).

At March 31, 2017, the estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt and variable-rate debt that currently bears interest at fixed rates or has effectively been converted to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps, or that has been subject to interest rate caps, is affected by changes in interest rates. A decrease or increase in interest rates of 1% would change the estimated fair value of this debt at March 31, 2017 by an aggregate increase of $50.8 million or an aggregate decrease of $74.4 million, respectively. Annual interest expense on our unhedged variable-rate debt at March 31, 2017 would increase or decrease by $4.6 million for each respective 1% change in annual interest rates.

As more fully described under Liquidity and Capital Resources – Summary of Financing in Item 2 above, a portion of our variable-rate debt in the table above bore interest at fixed rates at March 31, 2017, but has interest rate reset features that will change the fixed interest rates to then-prevailing market fixed rates at certain points during their term. This debt is generally not subject to short-term fluctuations in interest rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We own international investments, primarily in Europe and Asia, and as a result, are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in various foreign currencies, primarily the euro and, to a lesser extent, the British pound sterling, the Japanese yen, and the Norwegian krone, which may affect future costs and cash flows. Although all of our foreign investments through the first quarter of 2017 were conducted in these currencies, we may conduct business in other currencies in the future. We manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by generally placing both our debt service obligation to the lender and the tenant’s rental obligation to us in the same currency. This reduces our overall exposure to the actual equity that we have invested and the equity portion of our cash flow. In addition, we may use currency hedging to further reduce the exposure to our equity cash flow. We are generally a net receiver of these currencies (we receive more cash than we pay out), therefore our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar, relative to the foreign currency.

We have obtained, and may in the future obtain, non-recourse mortgage financing in local currencies. To the extent that currency fluctuations increase or decrease rental revenues, as translated to U.S. dollars, the change in debt service, as translated to U.S. dollars, will partially offset the effect of fluctuations in revenue and, to some extent, mitigate the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

The June 23, 2016 referendum by voters in the United Kingdom to exit the European Union, a process commonly referred to as “Brexit,” adversely impacted global markets, including certain currencies, and resulted in a sharp decline in the value of the British pound sterling and, to a lesser extent, the euro, as compared to the U.S. dollar. Volatility in exchange rates is expected to continue as the United Kingdom negotiates its likely exit from the European Union. As of March 31, 2017, 1% and 39% of our total pro rata ABR was from the United Kingdom and other European Union countries, respectively. 

Any impact from Brexit on us will depend, in part, on the outcome of the related tariff, trade, regulatory, and other negotiations. Although it is unknown what the result of those negotiations will be, it is possible that new terms may adversely affect our operations and financial results.

Scheduled future minimum rents, exclusive of renewals, under non-cancelable operating leases, for our consolidated foreign operations for the remainder of 2017, during each of the next four calendar years following December 31, 2017 and thereafter, are as follows (in thousands):

Scheduled debt service payments (principal and interest) for mortgage notes payable for our consolidated foreign operations for the remainder of 2017, during each of the next four calendar years following December 31, 2017 and thereafter, are as follows (in thousands):

Debt Service(a) (e)	2017 (Remaining)		2018		2019		2020		2021		Thereafter		Total

__________

(a) Amounts are based on the applicable exchange rates at March 31, 2017. Contractual rents and debt obligations are denominated in the functional currency of the country of each property. Our foreign operations denominated in the Norwegian krone are related to an unconsolidated jointly owned investment and is excluded from the amounts in the tables.

(b) We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated property-level cash flow at March 31, 2017 of $6.5 million.

(c) We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the British pound sterling and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated property-level cash flow at March 31, 2017 of $0.4 million.

(d) We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated property-level cash flow at March 31, 2017 of less than $0.1 million.

(e) Interest on unhedged variable-rate debt obligations was calculated using the applicable annual interest rates and balances outstanding at March 31, 2017.

As a result of scheduled balloon payments on certain of our international non-recourse mortgage loans, projected debt service obligations exceed projected lease revenues in 2017 and 2021. In 2017, balloon payments totaling $89.8 million are due on five non-recourse mortgage loans that are collateralized by properties that we own. We currently anticipate that, by their respective due dates, we will have refinanced or repaid certain of these loans using our cash resources, including unused capacity on our credit facility and proceeds from dispositions.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants are engaged in similar business activities or have similar economic risks or conditions that could cause them to default on their lease obligations to us. We regularly monitor our portfolio to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. While we believe our portfolio is reasonably well diversified, it does contain concentrations in certain areas in excess of 10%, based on the percentage of our consolidated total revenues or ABR.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, our consolidated portfolio had the following significant characteristics in excess of 10%, based on the percentage of our consolidated total revenues:

• 76% related to domestic properties, which included a concentration in Texas of 24% (primarily due to the KBR Inc. concentration of 22%); and

• 24% related to international properties.

At March 31, 2017, our consolidated net-leased portfolio, which excludes investments within our Self Storage segment as well as in our All Other category, had the following significant property and lease characteristics in excess of 10% in certain areas, based on the percentage of our consolidated ABR as of that date:

• 65% related to domestic properties;

• 35% related to international properties;

• 32% related to office facilities, 26% related to warehouse facilities, 21% related to retail facilities, and 16% related to industrial facilities; and

• 25% related to the retail stores industry, 11% related to the business services industry, and 10% related to the media: advertising, printing, and publishing industry.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures include internal controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after conducting an evaluation, together with members of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2017, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of March 31, 2017 at a reasonable level of assurance.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we issued 592,951 shares of our common stock to our Advisor as consideration for asset management fees. These shares were issued at either $10.24 per share or $10.11, which represented our former and most recently published NAV, respectively, as approved by our board of directors at the date of issuance. Since none of these transactions were considered to have involved a “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the shares issued were deemed to be exempt from registration. In acquiring our shares, our Advisor represented that such interests were being acquired by it for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof. From inception through March 31, 2017, we have issued a total of 12,466,959 shares of our common stock to our Advisor as consideration for asset management fees.

All prior sales of unregistered securities have been reported in our previously filed quarterly and annual reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, respectively.

The maximum amount of shares purchasable by us in any period depends on a number of factors and is at the discretion of our board of directors. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we received 391 redemption requests for our common stock. As of the date of this Report, all such requests were satisfied. We generally receive fees in connection with share redemptions.

Organization

Corporate Property Associates 17 – Global Incorporated, or CPA^®:17 – Global, and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, we, us, or our, is a publicly owned, non-traded real estate investment trust, or REIT, that invests primarily in commercial real estate properties leased to companies both domestically and internationally. We were formed in 2007 and are managed by W. P. Carey Inc., or WPC, through one of its subsidiaries, or collectively, our Advisor. As a REIT, we are not subject to U.S. federal income taxation as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income and the level of our distributions, among other factors. We earn revenue primarily by leasing the properties we own to single corporate tenants, predominantly on a triple-net leased basis, which requires the tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property. Revenue is subject to fluctuation due to the timing of new lease transactions, lease terminations, lease expirations, contractual rent adjustments, tenant defaults, sales of properties, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Substantially all of our assets and liabilities are held by CPA^®:17 Limited Partnership, or the Operating Partnership, and at March 31, 2017, we owned 99.99% of general and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. The remaining interest in the Operating Partnership is held by a subsidiary of WPC.

At March 31, 2017, our portfolio was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 394 properties, substantially all of which were fully-occupied and triple-net leased to 118 tenants, and totaled approximately 43 million square feet. In addition, our portfolio was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 38 operating properties, including 37 self-storage properties and one hotel property, for an aggregate of approximately 3 million square feet. As opportunities arise, we may also make other types of commercial real estate-related investments.

We operate in two reportable business segments: Net Lease and Self Storage. Our Net Lease segment includes our domestic and foreign investments in net-leased properties, whether they are accounted for as operating or direct financing leases. Our Self Storage segment is comprised of our investments in self-storage properties. In addition, we have investments in loans receivable, CMBS, one hotel, and other properties, which are included in our All Other category (Note 14). Our reportable business segments and All Other category are the same as our reporting units.

We raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.9 billion from our initial public offering, which closed in April 2011, and our follow-on offering, which closed in January 2013. In addition, from inception through March 31, 2017, $599.7 million of distributions to our shareholders were reinvested in our common stock through our Distribution Reinvestment Plan, or DRIP.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2016, which are included in the 2016 Annual Report, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have not been included in this Report. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Consolidation — Our consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries and our tenancy-in-common interest, as described below. The portions of equity in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if it should be deemed a variable interest entity, or VIE, and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. We apply accounting guidance for consolidation of VIEs to certain entities in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Fixed price purchase and renewal options within a lease, as well as certain decision-making rights within a loan or joint-venture agreement, can cause us to consider an entity a VIE. Limited partnerships and other similar entities that operate as a partnership will be considered a VIE unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participation rights. Significant judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review the contractual arrangements provided for in the partnership agreement or other related contracts to determine whether the entity is considered a VIE, and to establish whether we have any variable interests in the VIE. We then compare our variable interests, if any, to those of the other variable interest holders to determine which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE based on whether the entity (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The liabilities of these VIEs are non-recourse to us and can only be satisfied from each VIE’s respective assets.

At March 31, 2017, we considered 25 entities VIEs, 12 of which we consolidated as we are considered the primary beneficiary and one of which we accounted for as a loan receivable. The following table presents a summary of selected financial data of the consolidated VIEs, included in the consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016
Net investments in properties	$	183,291	$	313,000
Net investments in direct financing leases	315,582		315,251
In-place lease and tenant relationship intangible assets, net	18,493		19,336
Other assets, net	54,372		65,557
Total assets	574,618		714,896
Debt, net	$	201,877	$	265,874
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities	10,154		14,440
Deferred income taxes	16,344		15,687
Total liabilities	229,042		296,673

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had 12 and 13 unconsolidated VIEs, respectively, which we account for under the equity method of accounting. We do not consolidate these entities because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of these entities allows us to exercise significant influence on, but does not give us power over, decisions that significantly affect the economic performance of these entities. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the net carrying amount of our investments in these entities was $415.5 million and $377.4 million, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities was limited to our investments.

At March 31, 2017, we had an investment in a tenancy-in-common interest in a portfolio of international properties. Consolidation of this investment is not required as such interest does not qualify as a VIE and does not meet the control requirement for consolidation. Accordingly, we account for this investment using the equity method of accounting. We use the equity method of accounting because the shared decision-making involved in a tenancy-in-common interest investment provides us with significant influence on the operating and financial decisions of this investment.

At times, the carrying value of our equity investments may fall below zero for certain investments. We intend to fund our share of the jointly owned investments’ future operating deficits should the need arise. However, we have no legal obligation to pay for any of the liabilities of such investments nor do we have any legal obligation to fund operating deficits. At March 31, 2017, none of our equity investments had carrying values below zero.

Reclassifications — Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. We currently present Loss on extinguishment of debt on its own line item in the consolidated financial statements, which was previously included in Other income and (expenses).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 does not apply to our lease revenues, which constitute a majority of our revenues, but will apply to reimbursed tenant costs and revenues generated from our operating properties. We will adopt this guidance for our annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2018 using one of two methods: retrospective restatement for each reporting period presented at the time of adoption, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this guidance recognized at the date of initial application. We have not decided which method of adoption we will use. We are evaluating the impact of the new standard and have not yet determined if it will have a material impact on our business or our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 outlines a new model for accounting by lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under substantially all leases, existing and new, would be capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. For lessors, however, the accounting remains largely unchanged from the current model, with the distinction between operating and financing leases retained, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. The new standard also replaces existing sale-leaseback guidance with a new model applicable to both lessees and lessors. Additionally, the new standard requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for U.S. GAAP public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; for all other entities, the final lease standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application will be permitted for all entities. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition of the new guidance and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new model at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The ASU is expected to impact our consolidated financial statements as we have certain operating office and land lease arrangements for which we are the lessee. We are evaluating the impact of the new standard and have not yet determined if it will have a material impact on our business or our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 introduces a new model for estimating credit losses based on current expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application of the guidance permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 intends to reduce diversity in practice for certain cash flow classifications, including, but not limited to (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iii) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and (iv) distributions received from equity method investees. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application of the guidance permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-15 on our consolidated financial statements, and will adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control. ASU 2016-17 changes how a reporting entity that is a decision maker should consider indirect interests in a VIE held through an entity under common control. If a decision maker must evaluate whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it will only need to consider its proportionate indirect interest in the VIE held through a common control party. ASU 2016-17 amends ASU 2015-02, which we adopted on January 1, 2016, and which currently directs the decision maker to treat the common control party’s interest in the VIE as if the decision maker held the interest itself. ASU 2016-17 is effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASU 2016-17 as of January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 intends to reduce diversity in practice for the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-18 on our consolidated financial statements, and will adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017-01 intends to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under the current implementation guidance in Topic 805, there are three elements of a business: inputs, processes, and outputs. While an integrated set of assets and activities, collectively referred to as a “set,” that is a business usually has outputs, outputs are not required to be present. ASU 2017-01 provides a screen to determine when a set is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. ASU 2017-01 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. While our acquisitions have historically been classified as either business combinations or asset acquisitions, certain acquisitions that were classified as business combinations by us likely would have been considered asset acquisitions under the new standard. As a result, transaction costs are more likely to be capitalized since we expect most of our future acquisitions to be classified as asset acquisitions under this new standard. In addition, goodwill that was previously allocated to businesses that were sold or held for sale will no longer be allocated and written off upon sale if future sales were deemed to be sales of assets and not businesses.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 removes step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years in which a goodwill impairment test is performed, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-04 on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20). ASU 2017-05 clarifies that a financial asset is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset. The amendments define the term “in substance nonfinancial asset,” in part, as a financial asset promised to a counterparty in a contract if substantially all of the fair value of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) that are promised to the counterparty in the contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets. If substantially all of the fair value of the assets that are promised to the counterparty in a contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets, then all of the financial assets promised to the counterparty are in substance nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20. This amendment also clarifies that nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counterparty. For example, a parent company may transfer control of nonfinancial assets by transferring ownership interests in a consolidated subsidiary. ASU 2017-05 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early application permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-05 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.

Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties

Transactions with Our Advisor

We have an advisory agreement with our Advisor whereby our Advisor performs certain services for us under a fee arrangement, including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase, and disposition of real estate and related assets and mortgage loans; day-to-day management; and the performance of certain administrative duties. We also reimburse our Advisor for general and administrative duties performed on our behalf. The advisory agreement has a term of one year and may be renewed for successive one-year periods. We may terminate the advisory agreement upon 60 days’ written notice without cause or penalty.

The following tables present a summary of fees we paid, expenses we reimbursed, and distributions we made to our Advisor and other affiliates in accordance with the relevant agreements (in thousands):

Acquisition and Disposition Fees

We pay our Advisor acquisition fees for structuring and negotiating investments and related mortgage financing on our behalf, a portion of which is payable upon acquisition of investments, with the remainder subordinated to the achievement of a preferred return, which is a non-compounded cumulative distribution of 5.0% per annum (based initially on our invested capital). Acquisition fees payable to our Advisor with respect to our long-term, net-leased investments are 4.5% of the total cost of those investments and are comprised of a current portion of 2.5%, typically paid upon acquisition, and a deferred portion of 2.0%, typically paid over three years and subject to the 5.0% preferred return described above. The preferred return was achieved as of each of the cumulative periods ended March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. For certain types of non-long term net-leased investments, initial acquisition fees are between 1.0% and 1.75% of the equity invested plus the related acquisition fees, with no portion of the payment being deferred. Unpaid installments of deferred acquisition fees are included in Due to affiliates in the consolidated financial statements. Unpaid installments of deferred acquisition fees bear interest at an annual rate of 5.0%. The cumulative total acquisition costs, including acquisition fees paid to the advisor, may not exceed 6.0% of the aggregate contract purchase price of all investments, which is measured at the end of each year. Our cumulative total acquisition costs have not exceeded the amount that would require our Advisor to reimburse us.

Our Advisor may be entitled to receive a disposition fee equal to the lesser of (i) 50.0% of the competitive real estate commission (as defined in the advisory agreement) or (ii) 3.0% of the contract sales price of the investment being sold; however, payment of such fees is subordinated to the 5.0% preferred return. These fees are payable at the discretion of our board of directors.

Asset Management Fees

As described in the advisory agreement, we pay our Advisor asset management fees that vary based on the nature of the underlying investment. We pay 0.5% per annum of average market value for long-term net leases and certain other types of real estate investments, and 1.5% to 1.75% per annum of average equity value for certain types of securities. Asset management fees are payable in cash and/or shares of our common stock at our option, after consultation with our Advisor. If our Advisor receives all or a portion of its fees in shares, the number of shares issued is determined by dividing the dollar amount of fees by our most recently published estimated net asset value per share, or NAV, which was $10.11 as of December 31, 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we paid our Advisor 100.0% of its asset management fees in shares of our common stock. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we paid our Advisor 50.0% of its asset management fees in cash and 50.0% in shares of our common stock. At March 31, 2017, our Advisor owned 12,466,959 shares (3.6%) of our common stock. Asset management fees are included in Property expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

Available Cash Distribution

WPC’s interest in the Operating Partnership entitles it to receive distributions of 10.0% of available cash generated by the Operating Partnership, referred to as the Available Cash Distribution, which is defined as cash generated from operations, excluding capital proceeds, as reduced by operating expenses and debt service, excluding prepayments and balloon payments. Available Cash Distributions are included in Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements.

Personnel and Overhead Reimbursements

Under the terms of the advisory agreement, our Advisor allocates a portion of its personnel and overhead expenses to us and the other entities that are managed by our Advisor, including Corporate Property Associates 18 – Global Incorporated, or CPA^®:18 – Global; Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated, or CWI 1; Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated, or CWI 2; Carey Credit Income Fund, or CCIF; and Carey European Student Housing Fund I, L.P., or CESH I; collectively referred to as the Managed Programs. Our Advisor allocates these expenses to us on the basis of our trailing four quarters of reported revenues in comparison to those of WPC and other entities managed by WPC and its affiliates.

We reimburse our Advisor for various expenses it incurs in the course of providing services to us. We reimburse certain third-party expenses paid by our Advisor on our behalf, including property-specific costs, professional fees, office expenses, and business development expenses. In addition, we reimburse our Advisor for the allocated costs of personnel and overhead in managing our day-to-day operations, including accounting services, stockholder services, corporate management, and property management and operations. We do not reimburse our Advisor for the cost of personnel if these personnel provide services for transactions for which our Advisor receives a transaction fee, such as for acquisitions and dispositions. As per the advisory agreement, the amount of applicable personnel costs allocated to us is capped at 2.0% and 2.2% for 2017 and 2016, respectively, of pro rata lease revenues for each year. Costs related to our Advisor’s legal transactions group are based on a schedule of expenses relating to services performed for different types of transactions, such as financings, lease amendments, and dispositions, among other categories, and includes 0.25% of the total investment cost of an acquisition. In general, personnel and overhead reimbursements are included in General and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements. However, we capitalize certain of the costs related to our Advisor’s legal transactions group if the costs relate to a transaction that is not considered to be a business combination.

Excess Operating Expenses

Our Advisor is obligated to reimburse us for the amount by which our operating expenses exceeds the “2%/25% guidelines” (the greater of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income) as defined in the advisory agreement for any 12-month period, subject to certain conditions. For the most recent four trailing quarters, our operating expenses were below this threshold.

Jointly Owned Investments and Other Transactions with Affiliates

At March 31, 2017, we owned interests ranging from 7% to 97% in jointly owned investments, with the remaining interests held by affiliates or by third parties. We consolidate certain of these investments and account for the remainder under the equity method of accounting. We also owned an interest in a jointly controlled tenancy-in-common interest in several properties, which we account for under the equity method of accounting (Note 6). At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had an amount due from an affiliate of $1.0 million primarily related to one of our jointly owned investments.

Real Estate [Abstract]

Net Investments in Properties

Net Investments in Properties

Real Estate

Real estate, which consists of land and buildings leased to others, at cost, and which are subject to operating leases, is summarized as follows (in thousands):

	March 31, 2017			December 31, 2016
Land	$	540,358		$	563,050
Buildings and improvements	2,109,198			2,182,374
Less: Accumulated depreciation	(293,985		)	(280,657		)
	$	2,355,571		$	2,464,767

The carrying value of our real estate increased by $15.1 million from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017, due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, particularly the euro and British pound sterling, during the period.

Depreciation expense, including the effect of foreign currency translation, on our real estate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $16.2 million and $15.9 million, respectively.

Acquisitions of Real Estate During 2017

On February 2, 2017, we acquired an office facility in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, which was deemed to be a real estate asset acquisition, at a total cost of $11.5 million, including land of $2.0 million, building of $7.5 million (including acquisition-related costs of $0.5 million, which were capitalized), and an intangible asset of $2.0 million (Note 7).

Operating Real Estate

Operating real estate, which consists of our wholly owned domestic self-storage operations, at cost, is summarized as follows (in thousands):

	March 31, 2017			December 31, 2016
Land	$	55,645		$	55,645
Buildings and improvements	203,602			203,326
Less: Accumulated depreciation	(20,543		)	(18,876		)
	$	238,704		$	240,095

Depreciation expense on our operating real estate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $1.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Dispositions and Assets Held for Sale

Below is a summary of our properties held for sale (in thousands):

	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016
Real estate, net	$	—	$	14,850
Assets held for sale	$	—	$	14,850

At December 31, 2016, we had a property classified as Assets held for sale. On March 13, 2017, we sold this property for $14.1 million, net of closing costs, to a third party (Note 13).

I-drive Property Disposition and I-drive Wheel Restructuring

In 2012, we entered into a contract for the construction of a domestic build-to-suit project with IDL Master Tenant, LLC, a developer, for the construction of an entertainment complex, which we refer to as the I-drive Property, and an observation wheel, which we refer to as the I-drive Wheel, at the I-drive Property. We had accounted for the construction of the I-drive Property as Real estate under construction. The funding of the I-drive Wheel was provided in the form of a $50.0 million loan, which we refer to as the Wheel Loan, pursuant to the guidance of the acquisition, development and construction of real estate, or ADC Arrangement. We accounted for the Wheel Loan under the equity method of accounting as the characteristics of the arrangement with the third-party developer were more similar to a jointly-owned investment or partnership rather than a loan (Note 6). During 2015, the construction on both the I-drive Property and the I-drive Wheel were completed and placed into service.

On March 17, 2017, the developer exercised its purchase option and acquired the I-drive Property for a purchase price of $117.5 million (Note 13). The $60.0 million non-recourse mortgage loan encumbering the I-drive Property was repaid at closing by the buyer (Note 10). In connection with the disposition, we provided seller financing in the form of a $34.0 million mezzanine loan (Note 5), which was considered to be a non-cash investing activity, and the sale was accounted for under the cost recovery method. As a result, the $2.1 million gain on sale was deferred and will be recognized upon recovery of the cost of the property. As a result of the sale of the I-drive Property, we no longer consider this entity to be a VIE at March 31, 2017.

Receivables [Abstract]

Finance Receivables

Finance Receivables

Assets representing rights to receive money on demand or at fixed or determinable dates are referred to as finance receivables. Our finance receivables portfolio consists of our Net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable. Operating leases are not included in finance receivables as such amounts are not recognized as an asset in the consolidated financial statements. Our loans receivable are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements. Earnings from our loans receivable are included in Other interest income in the consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the I-drive Property disposition (Note 4, Note 13), on March 17, 2017 we provided seller financing in the form of a $34.0 million mezzanine loan (Note 4) to the developer of the I-drive Property, which has an interest rate of 9.0% and is scheduled to mature in April 2019 with an option to extend to April 2020.

In addition to the sale of the I-drive Property, we restructured the Wheel Loan (Note 4) on March 17, 2017. Under the original ADC Arrangement that was accounted for as an equity method investment (Note 6), (i) we provided all the equity for the initial construction and carried all of the risk, (ii) all interest and fees on the Wheel Loan were added to the Wheel Loan balance and (iii) we participated in the residual profits of the I-drive Wheel post-construction through rents we received pursuant to a ground lease. The Wheel Loan was amended as follows:

• $5.0 million of principal was repaid.

• $10.0 million of principal was converted into separate loans to two individuals associated with the developer. These loans are guaranteed by their 80.0% equity interest in the I-Shops Property that we originally owned and sold back to the developer in 2014. The loans have an interest rate of 6.5% and are scheduled to mature in December 2018 with an option to extend to April 2020.

• We reduced the interest rate to 6.5% on the remaining $35.0 million and extended the maturity in December 2018 with an option to extend to December 2020.

In connection with the restructuring of the Wheel Loan, we determined that the loan no longer meets ADC equity investment classification since (i) the construction is now completed, (ii) the borrowers have contributed cash and equity pledges as security which substantially reduced our risk and (iii) we no longer participate in the residual profits through the ground lease rents (pursuant to the aforementioned I-drive Property disposition mentioned in Note 4). As a result, we reclassed the combined $45.0 million loan balance noted above to loan receivable, included in Other Assets, net which was a non-cash investing activity. A deferred gain of $16.4 million was recorded during the first quarter which was the difference between the fair value of the loan of $35.0 million and the $18.6 million carrying value of our previously held equity investment on March 17, 2017. The deferred gain related to the restructuring of the Wheel Loan will be recognized into income upon recovery of the cost of the Wheel Loan.

Credit Quality of Finance Receivables

We generally seek investments in facilities that we believe are critical to a tenant’s business and that we believe have a low risk of tenant default. At both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no significant finance receivable balances that were past due and we had not established any allowances for credit losses. Additionally, there were no modifications of finance receivables during the three months ended March 31, 2017 or the year ended December 31, 2016. We evaluate the credit quality of our finance receivables utilizing an internal five-point credit rating scale, with one representing the highest credit quality and five representing the lowest. The credit quality evaluation of our finance receivables was last updated in the first quarter of 2017.

A summary of our finance receivables by internal credit quality rating is as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Number of Tenants / Obligors at		Carrying Value at

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]

Equity Investments in Real Estate

Equity Investments in Real Estate

We own equity interests in net-leased properties that are generally leased to companies through noncontrolling interests (i) in partnerships and limited liability companies that we do not control but over which we exercise significant influence or (ii) as tenants-in-common subject to common control. Generally, the underlying investments are jointly owned with affiliates. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. Earnings for each investment are recognized in accordance with each respective investment agreement and, where applicable, based upon an allocation of the investment’s net assets at book value as if the investment were hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period.

As required by current authoritative accounting guidance, we periodically compare an investment’s carrying value to its estimated fair value and recognize an impairment charge to the extent that the carrying value exceeds fair value and such decline is determined to be other than temporary. Additionally, we provide funding to developers for ADC Arrangements, under which we have provided loans to third-party developers of real estate projects, which we account for as equity investments as the characteristics of the arrangement with the third-party developers are more similar to a jointly owned investment or partnership rather than a loan.

The following table presents Equity in earnings from equity method investments in real estate, which represents our proportionate share of the income or losses of these investments, as well as amortization of basis differences related to purchase accounting adjustments (in thousands):

(a) The carrying value of this investment is affected by the impact of fluctuations in the exchange rate of the applicable foreign currency.

(b) This investment is a VIE.

(c) In January 2017, our Hellweg 2 jointly owned equity investment repaid non-recourse mortgage loans at maturity with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $243.8 million, of which we contributed $80.5 million (amounts are based on the exchange rate of the euro as of the date of repayment). This contribution was accounted for as a capital contribution to equity investments in real estate.

(d) This investment represents a tenancy-in-common interest, whereby the property is encumbered by debt for which we are jointly and severally liable. The co-obligor is WPC and the amount due under the arrangement was approximately $69.0 million at March 31, 2017. Of this amount, $58.7 million represents the amount we agreed to pay and is included within the carrying value of this investment at March 31, 2017.

(e) This investment is reported using the hypothetical liquidation at book value model.

(f) Represents a domestic ADC Arrangement. There was no unfunded balance on the loan related to this investment at March 31, 2017.

(g) This investment represents a preferred equity interest, with a preferred rate of return of 12% during 2016 and thereafter until November 19, 2019, the date on which the preferred equity interest is redeemable.

(h) As of December 31, 2016, the carrying value included our investment in the Wheel Loan (Note 5) that was considered to be a VIE and was reported using the hypothetical liquidation at book value model. The Wheel Loan was restructured on March 17, 2017 and, as a result, we have derecognized the equity investment and recorded this investment as a loan receivable, included in Other assets, net and will no longer consider this to be a VIE.

Aggregate distributions from our interests in unconsolidated real estate investments were $21.3 million and $13.0 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the unamortized basis differences on our equity investments were $19.6 million and $19.1 million, respectively.

Intangible Assets And Liabilities [Abstract]

Intangible Assets and Liabilities

Intangible Assets and Liabilities

In-place lease intangibles and tenant relationship intangibles are included in In-place lease and tenant relationship intangible assets, net in the consolidated financial statements. Above-market rent, below-market ground lease (as lessee) intangibles, and goodwill are included in Other intangible assets, net in the consolidated financial statements. Below-market rent and above-market ground lease (as lessor) intangibles are included in Below-market rent and other intangible liabilities, net in the consolidated financial statements.

In connection with our investment activity during the three months ended March 31, 2017 (Note 4), we recorded an In-place intangible asset of $2.0 million, which has an expected life of 20 years.

Intangible assets and liabilities are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Amortization of below-market rent and above-market rent intangibles is recorded as an adjustment to Rental income; amortization of below-market ground lease and above-market ground lease intangibles is included in Property expenses; and amortization of in-place lease and tenant relationship intangibles is included in Depreciation and amortization. Amortization of below and above market rent intangibles, including the effect of foreign currency translation, increased Rental income by $18.8 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which includes the impact of a below-market rent intangible liability write off of $15.7 million recognized in conjunction with the KBR lease modification (Note 13) that occurred during the current year. Net amortization expense of all of our other net intangible assets totaled $12.9 million and $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts, and foreign currency collars; and Level 3, for securities and other derivative assets that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. For significant Level 3 items, we have also provided the unobservable inputs along with their weighted-average ranges.

Derivative Assets — Our derivative assets, which are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts, stock warrants, foreign currency collars, and a swaption (Note 9). The interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency collars, and swaption were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. The stock warrants were measured at fair value using internal valuation models that incorporated market inputs and our own assumptions about future cash flows. We classified these assets as Level 3 because they are not traded in an active market.

Derivative Liabilities — Our derivative liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate swaps and foreign currency collars (Note 9). These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 because they are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 measurements during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) included in earnings are reported within Other income and (expenses) on our consolidated financial statements.

Our other financial instruments had the following carrying values and fair values as of the dates shown (dollars in thousands):

		March 31, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Level	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Debt, net (a) (b)	3	$	1,895,407	$	1,930,477	$	2,022,250	$	2,053,353
Loans receivable (b)	3	110,500		110,500		31,500		31,500
CMBS (c)	3	4,554		7,456		4,027		7,470

___________

(a) The carrying value of Debt, net includes unamortized deferred financing costs of $8.5 million and $9.3 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

(b) We determined the estimated fair value of these financial instruments using a discounted cash flow model that estimates the present value of the future loan payments by discounting such payments at current estimated market interest rates. The estimated market interest rates take into account interest rate risk and the value of the underlying collateral, which includes quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, and the time until maturity.

(c) At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had three separate tranches of CMBS investments, which are scheduled to mature between November 2017 and February 2018. The carrying value of our CMBS is inclusive of impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2016, as well as accretion related to the estimated cash flows expected to be received.

We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities (excluding net investments in direct financing leases) had fair values that approximated their carrying values at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we were notified by the tenant currently occupying a property that we own with an affiliate, located in Waldaschaff, Germany, that they will not be renewing its lease. As a result of this information, and our expectation that we will not be able to replace the tenant upon the lease expiration, we recognized an impairment charge of $4.5 million, which included $1.5 million attributed to a noncontrolling interest (amounts are based on the exchange rate of the euro at the date of impairment). The fair value of the property after the impairment charge approximated $4.7 million. The fair value measurement related to the impairment charge was determined by estimating discounted cash flows using a cash flow discount rate of 9.75%, which is considered a significant unobservable input. Significant increases or decreases to this input would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement.

Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments

Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments

Risk Management

In the normal course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are four main components of economic risk that impact us: interest rate risk, credit risk, market risk, and foreign currency risk. We are primarily subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing liabilities, including the Senior Credit Facility (Note 10). Credit risk is the risk of default on our operations and our tenants’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk includes changes in the value of our properties and related loans, as well as changes in the value of our other investments due to changes in interest rates or other market factors. We own investments in Europe and Asia and are subject to risks associated with fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.

Derivative Financial Instruments

When we use derivative instruments, it is generally to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate movements. We have not entered into, and do not plan to enter into, financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In addition to entering into derivative instruments on our own behalf, we may also be a party to derivative instruments that are embedded in other contracts and we may be granted common stock warrants by lessees when structuring lease transactions, which are considered to be derivative instruments. The primary risks related to our use of derivative instruments include a counterparty to a hedging arrangement defaulting on its obligation and a downgrade in the credit quality of a counterparty to such an extent that our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction is impaired. While we seek to mitigate these risks by entering into hedging arrangements with large financial institutions that we deem to be creditworthy, it is possible that our hedging transactions, which are intended to limit losses, could adversely affect our earnings. Furthermore, if we terminate a hedging arrangement, we may be obligated to pay certain costs, such as transaction or breakage fees. We have established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting, and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities.

We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For a derivative designated, and that qualified, as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. For a derivative designated, and that qualified, as a net investment hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value and/or the net settlement of the derivative is reported in Other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. For a derivative designated, and that qualified, as a net investment hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value and/or the net settlement of the derivative is reported in Other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of any derivative is immediately recognized in earnings

All derivative transactions with an individual counterparty are governed by a master International Swap and Derivatives Association agreement, which can be considered as a master netting arrangement; however, we report all our derivative instruments on a gross basis on our consolidated financial statements. At both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no cash collateral had been posted or received for any of our derivative positions.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our derivative instruments (in thousands):

See below for information regarding why we enter into our derivative instruments and concerning derivative instruments owned by unconsolidated investments, which are excluded from the tables above.

Interest Rate Swaps, Caps, and Swaption

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we attempt to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our investment partners have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate, non-recourse mortgage loans and, as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements, interest rate cap agreements or swaptions with counterparties. Interest rate swaps, which effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flow over a specific period. The notional, or face, amount on which the swaps are based is not exchanged. Interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable–rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share downward shifts in interest rates. A swaption gives us the right but not the obligation to enter into an interest rate swap, of which the terms and conditions are set on the trade date, on a specified date in the future. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.

The interest rate swaps, caps, and swaption that our consolidated subsidiaries had outstanding at March 31, 2017 are summarized as follows (currency in thousands):

Interest Rate Derivatives	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount		Fair Value at March 31, 2017(a)
Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Instruments
Interest rate swaps	13	230,932	USD	$	(4,215	)
Interest rate swaps	6	63,210	EUR	(760		)

Not Designated as Hedging Instrument
Swaption	1	13,230	USD	216
Interest rate swap	1	4,931	EUR	(148		)
				$	(4,535	)

__________

(a) Fair value amount is based on the exchange rate of the euro or British pound sterling at March 31, 2017, as applicable.

Foreign Currency Contracts

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate movements, primarily in the euro and, to a lesser extent, the British pound sterling, the Japanese yen, and the Norwegian krone. We manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by generally placing our debt service obligation on an investment in the same currency as the tenant’s rental obligation to us. This reduces our overall exposure to the net cash flow from that investment. However, we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate movements to the extent that there is a difference in the timing and amount of the rental obligation and the debt service. Realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings related to foreign currency transactions are included in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements.

In order to hedge certain of our foreign currency cash flow exposures, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and collars. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment to deliver a certain amount of currency at a certain price on a specific date in the future. A foreign currency collar consists of a written call option and a purchased put option to sell the foreign currency at a range of predetermined exchange rates. By entering into forward contracts and holding them to maturity, we are locked into a future currency exchange rate for the term of the contract. A foreign currency collar guarantees that the exchange rate of the currency will not fluctuate beyond the range of the options’ strike prices. Our foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency collars have maturities of 77 months or less.

The following table presents the foreign currency derivative contracts we had outstanding and their designations at March 31, 2017 (currency in thousands):

Foreign Currency Derivatives	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount		Fair Value at March 31, 2017

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

We measure our credit exposure on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value of our derivatives, net of any collateral received. No collateral was received as of March 31, 2017. At March 31, 2017, our total credit exposure was $34.9 million and the maximum exposure to any single counterparty was $15.9 million.

Some of the agreements with our derivative counterparties contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a declaration of default on our derivative obligations if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on certain of our indebtedness. At March 31, 2017, we had not been declared in default on any of our derivative obligations. The estimated fair value of our derivatives that were in a net liability position was $5.3 million and $6.7 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which included accrued interest and any nonperformance risk adjustments. If we had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at their aggregate termination value of $5.7 million and $7.3 million, respectively.

Portfolio Concentration Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants are engaged in similar business activities or have similar economic

risks or conditions that could cause them to default on their lease obligations to us. We regularly monitor our portfolio to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. See Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Portfolio Overview for more information about our portfolio concentration risk.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, our KBR Inc. tenant contributed 22.0% of our total revenues, which included $15.7 million as a result of a write-off of a below-market lease intangible liability that was recognized in rental income (Note 13).

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Debt

Debt

Debt, Net

At March 31, 2017, our mortgage notes payable bore interest at fixed annual rates ranging from 1.9% to 10.9% and variable contractual annual rates ranging from 1.3% to 6.0%, with maturity dates ranging from 2017 to 2031.

Financing Activity During 2017

On February 1, 2017, we refinanced a non-recourse mortgage loan of $92.4 million at maturity with a new loan of $105.0 million that has an interest rate of the London Interbank Offered rate, or LIBOR, plus 1.8% and is scheduled to mature in February 2020.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we repaid six non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $143.0 million, all of which were scheduled to mature in 2017 (amount is based on the exchange rate of the euro as of the date of repayment, as applicable). Of the $143.0 million, $60.0 million pertained to the non-recourse mortgage loan that was paid down in connection with the I-drive Property disposition (Note 4, Note 13) of which we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million.

In March 2017, we completed the sale of the KBR II property (Note 13), which had a non-recourse mortgage loan of $31.2 million at the time of sale. This mortgage loan, which has an interest rate 4.9% and is scheduled to mature in January 2024, has since been recollateralized with two of our existing net-lease properties. As a result of the swapping of the collateral of this loan, this debt is now considered to be a recourse mortgage loan to us in the event of a default.

Senior Credit Facility

On August 26, 2015, we entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, and a syndicate of other lenders, which we refer to herein as the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was amended on March 31, 2016 to clarify the Restricted Payments covenant (see below); no other terms were changed. The Credit Agreement provides for a $200.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, or the Revolver, and a $50.0 million delayed-draw term loan facility, or the Term Loan. We refer to the Revolver and the Term Loan together as the Senior Credit Facility, which has a maximum aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million and, subject to lender approval, an accordion feature of $250.0 million. The Senior Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on August 26, 2018, and may be extended by us for two 12-month periods.

The Senior Credit Facility provides for an annual interest rate of either (i) the Eurocurrency Rate or (ii) the Base Rate, in each case plus the Applicable Rate (each as defined in the Credit Agreement). With respect to the Revolver, the Applicable Rate on Eurocurrency loans and letters of credit ranges from 1.50% to 2.25% (based on LIBOR) and the Applicable Rate on Base Rate loans ranges from 0.50% to 1.25% (as defined in the Credit Agreement), depending on our leverage ratio. With respect to the Term Loan, the Applicable Rate on Eurocurrency loans and letters of credit ranges from 1.45% to 2.20% (based on LIBOR) and the Applicable Rate on Base Rate loans ranges from 0.45% to 1.20% (as defined in the Credit Agreement), depending on our leverage ratio. In addition, we pay a fee of either 0.15% or 0.30% on the unused portion of the Senior Credit Facility. If usage of the Senior Credit Facility is equal to or greater than 50% of the Aggregate Commitments, the Unused Fee Rate will be 0.15%, and if usage of the Senior Credit Facility is less than 50% of the Aggregate Commitments, the Unused Fee Rate will be 0.30%. In connection with the transaction, we incurred costs of $1.9 million, which are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the Senior Credit Facility.

The following table presents a summary of our Senior Credit Facility (dollars in thousands):

	Interest Rate at March 31, 2017	Outstanding Balance at

(a) Includes unamortized deferred financing costs and discounts.

(b) Amount is based on the exchange rate of the euro at March 31, 2017.

On September 30, 2016, we exercised the delayed draw option on our Term Loan and borrowed $50.0 million. The Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR + 1.55% and is scheduled to mature on August 26, 2018, unless extended pursuant to its terms. The Revolver and Term Loan are used for our working capital needs and for new investments, as well as for general corporate purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we drew down $33.8 million from our Senior Credit Facility (amount is based on the exchange rate of the euro on the date of draw). On April 11, 2017, we repaid the Revolver balance in full (Note 15).

We are required to ensure that the total Restricted Payments (as defined in the amended Credit Agreement) in an aggregate amount in any fiscal year does not exceed the greater of 95% of MFFO and the amount of Restricted Payments required in order for us to (i) maintain our REIT status and (ii) avoid the payment of federal or state income or excise tax. Restricted Payments include quarterly dividends and the total amount of shares repurchased by us, if any, in excess of $100.0 million per year. In addition to placing limitations on dividend distributions and share repurchases, the Credit Agreement also stipulates certain customary financial covenants. We were in compliance with all such covenants at March 31, 2017.

Scheduled Debt Principal Payments

Scheduled debt principal payments for the remainder of 2017, each of the next four calendar years following December 31, 2017 and thereafter through 2031 are as follows (in thousands):

Deferred financing costs	(8,660		)
Unamortized discount, net	(5,261		)
Total	$	1,979,407

__________

(a) Includes the $50.0 million Term Loan and $34.2 million Revolver outstanding at March 31, 2017 under our Senior Credit Facility, which are scheduled to mature on August 26, 2018, unless extended pursuant to its terms. On April 11, 2017, we repaid the Revolver balance in full (Note 15).

Certain amounts in the table above are based on the applicable foreign currency exchange rate at March 31, 2017. The carrying value of our Debt, net increased by $9.8 million from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017 due the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, particularly the euro and the British pound sterling, during the same period.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]

Property Dispositions

Property Dispositions

From time to time, we may decide to sell a property. We have an active capital recycling program, with a goal of extending the average lease term through reinvestment, improving portfolio credit quality through dispositions and acquisitions of assets, increasing the asset criticality factor in our portfolio, and/or executing strategic dispositions of assets. We may decide to dispose of a property due to vacancy, tenants electing not to renew their leases, tenant insolvency, or lease rejection in the bankruptcy process. In such cases, we assess whether we can obtain the highest value from the property by selling it, as opposed to re-leasing it. We may also sell a property when we receive an unsolicited offer or negotiate a price for an investment that is consistent with our strategy for that investment. When it is appropriate to do so, we classify the property as an asset held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet.

Property Dispositions

The results of operations for properties that have been sold or classified as held for sale are included in the consolidated financial statements and are summarized as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,

2017 Dispositions

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we sold one of our net-lease properties to the developer that constructed the I-drive Property for net proceeds of $23.5 million, inclusive of $34.0 million of financing provided by us to the developer in the form of a mezzanine loan, and recorded a deferred gain on sale of $2.1 million, which will be recognized into income upon recovery of the cost of the property (Note 4, Note 5). The developer repaid the $60.0 million non-recourse mortgage loan encumbering the I-drive Property at closing (Note 10). In addition, in connection with the I-drive Wheel restructuring, we recorded a deferred gain of $16.4 million, which will be recognized into income upon recovery of the cost of the Wheel Loan (Note 5).

In August 2016, we simultaneously entered into two agreements with one of our tenants, KBR, Inc., to amend the lease at one property and terminate the lease at another property, both located in Houston, Texas. The lease modification and lease termination were contingent upon one another and became effective upon disposing of one net-lease property on March 13, 2017, which was previously classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2016. Upon disposition, we received proceeds of $14.1 million, net of closing costs, and recognized a gain on sale of $1.6 million. In addition, as a result of the aforementioned lease modification, contractual rents were renegotiated to be at market and the existing below-market rent lease liability of $15.7 million was written off and recognized into Rental income during the three months ended March 31, 2017 (Note 7). In addition, as a result of the termination of the lease noted above, we accelerated the below-market lease intangible liabilities of $3.3 million that were also recognized into Rental income during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

2016 Disposition

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we sold three self-storage properties for total proceeds of $46.4 million, net of closing costs, and recognized a gain on this sale of $25.4 million. The proceeds from the sale were used to repay a non-recourse mortgage loan encumbering the properties with an outstanding principal balance of $15.0 million and premium, interest, and closing costs of $2.4 million at the time of the sale. Total revenues from these properties were $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Recent Accounting Requirements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 does not apply to our lease revenues, which constitute a majority of our revenues, but will apply to reimbursed tenant costs and revenues generated from our operating properties. We will adopt this guidance for our annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2018 using one of two methods: retrospective restatement for each reporting period presented at the time of adoption, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this guidance recognized at the date of initial application. We have not decided which method of adoption we will use. We are evaluating the impact of the new standard and have not yet determined if it will have a material impact on our business or our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 outlines a new model for accounting by lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under substantially all leases, existing and new, would be capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. For lessors, however, the accounting remains largely unchanged from the current model, with the distinction between operating and financing leases retained, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. The new standard also replaces existing sale-leaseback guidance with a new model applicable to both lessees and lessors. Additionally, the new standard requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for U.S. GAAP public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; for all other entities, the final lease standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application will be permitted for all entities. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition of the new guidance and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new model at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The ASU is expected to impact our consolidated financial statements as we have certain operating office and land lease arrangements for which we are the lessee. We are evaluating the impact of the new standard and have not yet determined if it will have a material impact on our business or our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 introduces a new model for estimating credit losses based on current expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application of the guidance permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 intends to reduce diversity in practice for certain cash flow classifications, including, but not limited to (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iii) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and (iv) distributions received from equity method investees. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application of the guidance permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-15 on our consolidated financial statements, and will adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control. ASU 2016-17 changes how a reporting entity that is a decision maker should consider indirect interests in a VIE held through an entity under common control. If a decision maker must evaluate whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it will only need to consider its proportionate indirect interest in the VIE held through a common control party. ASU 2016-17 amends ASU 2015-02, which we adopted on January 1, 2016, and which currently directs the decision maker to treat the common control party’s interest in the VIE as if the decision maker held the interest itself. ASU 2016-17 is effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASU 2016-17 as of January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 intends to reduce diversity in practice for the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-18 on our consolidated financial statements, and will adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017-01 intends to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under the current implementation guidance in Topic 805, there are three elements of a business: inputs, processes, and outputs. While an integrated set of assets and activities, collectively referred to as a “set,” that is a business usually has outputs, outputs are not required to be present. ASU 2017-01 provides a screen to determine when a set is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. ASU 2017-01 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. While our acquisitions have historically been classified as either business combinations or asset acquisitions, certain acquisitions that were classified as business combinations by us likely would have been considered asset acquisitions under the new standard. As a result, transaction costs are more likely to be capitalized since we expect most of our future acquisitions to be classified as asset acquisitions under this new standard. In addition, goodwill that was previously allocated to businesses that were sold or held for sale will no longer be allocated and written off upon sale if future sales were deemed to be sales of assets and not businesses.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 removes step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years in which a goodwill impairment test is performed, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-04 on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20). ASU 2017-05 clarifies that a financial asset is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset. The amendments define the term “in substance nonfinancial asset,” in part, as a financial asset promised to a counterparty in a contract if substantially all of the fair value of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) that are promised to the counterparty in the contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets. If substantially all of the fair value of the assets that are promised to the counterparty in a contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets, then all of the financial assets promised to the counterparty are in substance nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20. This amendment also clarifies that nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counterparty. For example, a parent company may transfer control of nonfinancial assets by transferring ownership interests in a consolidated subsidiary. ASU 2017-05 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early application permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-05 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.

Equity Method Investments

We own equity interests in net-leased properties that are generally leased to companies through noncontrolling interests (i) in partnerships and limited liability companies that we do not control but over which we exercise significant influence or (ii) as tenants-in-common subject to common control. Generally, the underlying investments are jointly owned with affiliates. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. Earnings for each investment are recognized in accordance with each respective investment agreement and, where applicable, based upon an allocation of the investment’s net assets at book value as if the investment were hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period.

As required by current authoritative accounting guidance, we periodically compare an investment’s carrying value to its estimated fair value and recognize an impairment charge to the extent that the carrying value exceeds fair value and such decline is determined to be other than temporary. Additionally, we provide funding to developers for ADC Arrangements, under which we have provided loans to third-party developers of real estate projects, which we account for as equity investments as the characteristics of the arrangement with the third-party developers are more similar to a jointly owned investment or partnership rather than a loan.

Intangible Assets and Liabilities

Amortization of below-market rent and above-market rent intangibles is recorded as an adjustment to Rental income; amortization of below-market ground lease and above-market ground lease intangibles is included in Property expenses; and amortization of in-place lease and tenant relationship intangibles is included in Depreciation and amortization. Amortization of below and above market rent intangibles, including the effect of foreign currency translation, increased Rental income by $18.8 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which includes the impact of a below-market rent intangible liability write off of $15.7 million recognized in conjunction with the KBR lease modification (Note 13) that occurred during the current year. Net amortization expense of all of our other net intangible assets totaled $12.9 million and $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Derivative Assets — Our derivative assets, which are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts, stock warrants, foreign currency collars, and a swaption (Note 9). The interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency collars, and swaption were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. The stock warrants were measured at fair value using internal valuation models that incorporated market inputs and our own assumptions about future cash flows. We classified these assets as Level 3 because they are not traded in an active market.

Derivative Liabilities — Our derivative liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate swaps and foreign currency collars (Note 9). These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 because they are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts, and foreign currency collars; and Level 3, for securities and other derivative assets that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions.

Derivatives

We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For a derivative designated, and that qualified, as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. For a derivative designated, and that qualified, as a net investment hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value and/or the net settlement of the derivative is reported in Other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. For a derivative designated, and that qualified, as a net investment hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value and/or the net settlement of the derivative is reported in Other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of any derivative is immediately recognized in earnings

All derivative transactions with an individual counterparty are governed by a master International Swap and Derivatives Association agreement, which can be considered as a master netting arrangement; however, we report all our derivative instruments on a gross basis on our consolidated financial statements. At both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no cash collateral had been posted or received for any of our derivative positions.

__________

(a) The carrying value of this investment is affected by the impact of fluctuations in the exchange rate of the applicable foreign currency.

(b) This investment is a VIE.

(c) In January 2017, our Hellweg 2 jointly owned equity investment repaid non-recourse mortgage loans at maturity with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $243.8 million, of which we contributed $80.5 million (amounts are based on the exchange rate of the euro as of the date of repayment). This contribution was accounted for as a capital contribution to equity investments in real estate.

(d) This investment represents a tenancy-in-common interest, whereby the property is encumbered by debt for which we are jointly and severally liable. The co-obligor is WPC and the amount due under the arrangement was approximately $69.0 million at March 31, 2017. Of this amount, $58.7 million represents the amount we agreed to pay and is included within the carrying value of this investment at March 31, 2017.

(e) This investment is reported using the hypothetical liquidation at book value model.

(f) Represents a domestic ADC Arrangement. There was no unfunded balance on the loan related to this investment at March 31, 2017.

(g) This investment represents a preferred equity interest, with a preferred rate of return of 12% during 2016 and thereafter until November 19, 2019, the date on which the preferred equity interest is redeemable.

(h) As of December 31, 2016, the carrying value included our investment in the Wheel Loan (Note 5) that was considered to be a VIE and was reported using the hypothetical liquidation at book value model. The Wheel Loan was restructured on March 17, 2017 and, as a result, we have derecognized the equity investment and recorded this investment as a loan receivable, included in Other assets, net

(a) The carrying value of Debt, net includes unamortized deferred financing costs of $8.5 million and $9.3 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

(b) We determined the estimated fair value of these financial instruments using a discounted cash flow model that estimates the present value of the future loan payments by discounting such payments at current estimated market interest rates. The estimated market interest rates take into account interest rate risk and the value of the underlying collateral, which includes quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, and the time until maturity.

(c) At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had three separate tranches of CMBS investments, which are scheduled to mature between November 2017 and February 2018. The carrying value of our CMBS is inclusive of impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2016, as well as accretion related to the estimated cash flows expected to be received.

(a) Includes a $15.7 million and $3.3 million write off and acceleration of a below-market rent lease liabilities, respectively, pertaining to our KBR Inc. properties that were recognized in Rental income during the three months ended March 31, 2017 (Note 13).

(b) During the three months ended March 31, 2017, and 2016, we recognized straight-line rent adjustments of $3.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively, which increased Rental income within our consolidated financial statements for each period.

(c) Includes an impairment charge of $4.5 million related to a property located in Waldaschaff, Germany (Note 8) incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

(d) Included in unallocated corporate overhead are asset management fees and general and administrative expenses, as well as interest expense and other charges related to our Senior Credit Facility. These expenses are calculated and reported at the portfolio level and not evaluated as part of any segment’s operating performance.

The following tables present a summary of comparative results and assets for these business segments (in thousands):
