Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
The information pertaining to the property acquisition set forth under Item 2.01 of this current report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
On November 8, 2012, Cole ID Roanoke VA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cole Corporate Income Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an agreement of purchase and sale with FR NLF 11, LLC (the "Seller"), which is not affiliated with the Company, its advisor or affiliates. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement of purchase and sale, the Company agreed to purchase a 399,182 square foot industrial property (the “Property”), located in Roanoke, Virginia for a gross purchase price of approximately $23.5 million, exclusive of closing costs. The Property was constructed in 2003 and is 100% leased to Elizabeth Arden, Inc.

The purchase of the Property was funded with proceeds from the Company’s ongoing public offering of common stock. In connection with the acquisition, the Company paid an affiliate of Cole Corporate Income Advisors, LLC, the Company’s advisor, acquisition fees of approximately $470,000.
In evaluating the Property as a potential acquisition, including the determination of an appropriate purchase price, the Company considered a variety of factors, including the condition and financial performance of the Property; the terms of the existing lease and the creditworthiness of the tenant; the Property's location, visibility and access; age of the 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. There are no plans for any renovations, improvements or development of the Property. The Company believes the Property is adequately insured.
