Item 8.01. Other Events.

On November 14, 2014, American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. (“ARCP”) issued a press release announcing that it had received a consent, waiver and amendment from its lenders under its unsecured credit facility for an extension regarding the delivery of its third quarter 2014 financial statements until January 5, 2015. Such consent, waiver and amendment allows ARCP to remain compliant with its borrowing obligations under its unsecured credit facility as its external auditors complete their review of ARCP’s previously filed 2013 and 2014 financial statements. As part of the consent, waiver and amendment, in order to better align the size of the facility with anticipated future usage, ARCP has elected to permanently reduce the maximum amount of indebtedness from $4.65 billion to $4.0 billion. Additionally, until the 2013 and 2014 financial statements are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the maximum principal amount of indebtedness outstanding under the unsecured credit facility is temporarily reduced to $3.6 billion. Currently, ARCP has approximately $3.2 billion outstanding on the credit facility with $400 million of capacity available.

ARCP also announced in the same press release that it will host an investor update webcast at 10:00 A.M. Eastern Time on Friday, November 14, 2014. A link to such webcast is included in the press release.

A copy of such press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

Information set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including information included or incorporated by reference herein) may contain “forward-looking statements” (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), which reflect ARCP’s expectations regarding future events. The forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including ARCP’s ability to deliver its third quarter 2014 financial statements to the lenders under its unsecured credit facility by January 5, 2015 and therefore meet its borrowing obligations under such facility, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Additional factors that may affect future results are contained in ARCP’s filings with the SEC, which are available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. ARCP disclaims any obligation to update and revise statements contained in these materials based on new information or otherwise.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(d) Exhibits.
