RCS Capital Corporation Announces June 2015 Wholesale Distribution Sales

Wholesale Division Reports Fourth Consecutive Month of Over $400 Million in Equity Capital Raised Through 30 Direct Investment Programs

Second Quarter Total Equity Sales of $1.3 Billion, Up 20% From Prior Quarter;

Direct Investment Program Sales of $1.2 Billion, Up 24% From Prior Quarter;

Non-Traded REIT Sales of $1.0 Billion, Up 31% From Prior Quarter

New York, New York, July 6, 2015 – RCS Capital Corporation (NYSE: RCAP) (“RCS Capital”) announced today that its wholesale broker-dealer subsidiaries, Realty Capital Securities, LLC (“Realty Capital Securities”), SC Distributors, LLC and The Hatteras Funds raised $407 million of total equity capital in the month of June through 30 direct investment programs and registered investment companies.

RCS Capital’s wholesale broker-dealer subsidiaries continued to report solid results through the first half of 2015, with June marking the fourth consecutive month of over $400 million of total equity capital raised. For the second quarter, total equity capital raised was approximately $1.3 billion, representing a 20% increase from the first quarter. Sales of direct investment programs totaled nearly $376 million for the month of June, and $1.2 billion in the second quarter, representing a 24% increase from the first quarter. Sales of non-traded REITs totaled $324 million for the month of June, and nearly $1.0 billion in the second quarter, representing a 31% increase from the first quarter.

Bill Dwyer, Chief Executive Officer of Realty Capital Securities, commented, “We are pleased to report a 20% increase in total equity sales in the second quarter despite an overall industry slowdown in sales. Our market leading position reflects the continued demand we are seeing as a result of our differentiated platform, the breadth of our product offerings, and the value we deliver to our selling group members. June equity sales marked a fourth straight month of over $400 million of equity capital raised, again demonstrating solid month over month results, especially considering the closings of offerings, including our highly successful Business Development Corporation of America program; these closings create challenging month-over-month comparables. We continue to believe that strong equity sales in the second half of 2015, driven in part by a number of completed and anticipated liquidity events, coupled with strategic expense reduction across the platform, will result in positive Adjusted EBITDA for the business for the full year 2015.”
