CCPT IV OP borrowed approximately $5.2 million under the Credit Facility on April 24, 2012. As of April 26, 2012, the Borrowing Base under the Credit Facility based on the underlying collateral pool for qualified properties and amount outstanding under the Credit Facility was approximately $16.6 million. In connection with the acquisitions, the Company paid an affiliate of Cole REIT Advisors IV, LLC, the Company’s advisor, aggregate acquisition fees of approximately $90,000.

In evaluating the CV Charleston Property and the CV Asheville Property (each a “Property”) as potential acquisitions, including the determination of an appropriate purchase price to be paid for each Property, the Company considered a variety of factors, including the condition and financial performance of each Property; the terms of the existing lease and the creditworthiness of the tenants; Property location, visibility and access; age of the respective Property, physical condition and curb appeal; neighboring property uses; local market conditions, including vacancy rates; area demographics, including trade area population and average household income; and neighborhood growth patterns and economic conditions. The Company does not currently have plans to renovate, improve or develop any Property, and the Company believes that each Property is adequately insured.
