ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS	ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation, incorporated on July 27, 2010, that elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2012. The Company is the sole general partner of and owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the partnership interests in Cole Operating Partnership IV, LP, a Delaware limited partnership. On November 13, 2017, VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P. (“VEREIT OP”), a former affiliated entity of the Company’s sponsor, CCO Group (as defined below), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with CCA Acquisition, LLC (“CCA”), a newly-formed affiliate of CIM Group, LLC (“CIM”), pursuant to which CCA agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Cole Capital Advisors, Inc., the direct or indirect owner of Cole REIT Advisors IV, LLC (“CR IV Advisors”), Cole Capital Corporation and CREI Advisors, LLC (“CREI Advisors”), the Company’s external advisor, dealer manager and property manager, respectively (the “Transaction”). On February 1, 2018, the Transaction was completed. Immediately following the completion of the Transaction, Cole Capital Advisors, Inc. and the Company’s dealer manager were each converted into Delaware limited liability companies, Cole Capital Advisors, Inc.’s name was changed to CCO Group, LLC, and the Company’s dealer manager’s name was changed to CCO Capital, LLC (“CCO Capital”). As a result of the Transaction, CIM owns and/or controls CCO Group, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, “CCO Group”), and CCO Group, LLC owns and controls CR IV Advisors, CCO Capital and CREI Advisors, the Company’s external advisor, dealer manager for the Offerings (as defined below) and property manager, respectively. In addition, as part of the Transaction, VEREIT OP and CCO Group, LLC entered into a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) pursuant to which VEREIT OP will continue to provide certain services to CCO Group and to the Company, Cole Credit Property Trust V, Inc. (“CCPT V”), Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT II), Inc. (“CCIT II”), Cole Office & Industrial (CCIT III), Inc. (“CCIT III”) and Cole Real Estate Income Strategy (Daily NAV), Inc. (“Cole Income NAV Strategy”) (CCPT V, CCIT II, CCIT III, Cole Income NAV Strategy and the Company collectively, the “Cole REITs^®”), including operational real estate support. VEREIT OP will continue to provide such services through March 31, 2019 (or, if later, the date of the last government filing other than a tax filing made by any of the Cole REITs with respect to its 2018 fiscal year) (the “Initial Services Term”) and will provide consulting and research services through December 31, 2023 as requested by CCO Group, LLC. Despite the indirect change of ownership and control of the Company’s advisor, dealer manager, property manager and sponsor, the Company expects that, during the Initial Services Term of the Services Agreement, the advisory, dealer manager and property management services the Company receives will continue without any material changes in personnel (except as supplemented by the management oversight of CIM personnel) or material change in service procedures. During the Initial Services Term of the Services Agreement, CCO Group, LLC intends to evaluate and effectuate an appropriate transition of VEREIT OP’s services under the Services Agreement to other CIM affiliates or third parties with the goal of ensuring continuity and minimizing disruption.
