Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or this Report, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in Item 2 of Part I of this Report, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding a potential separation, including the timing and potential benefits thereof and whether any such separation will be completed, capital markets, tenant credit quality, general economic overview, our expected range of Adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, our corporate strategy, our capital structure, our portfolio lease terms, our international exposure and acquisition volume, our expectations about tenant bankruptcies and interest coverage, statements regarding estimated or future economic performance and results, including our underlying assumptions, occupancy rate, credit ratings, and possible new acquisitions by us and our investment management programs, the Managed Programs discussed herein, including their earnings, statements that we make regarding our ability to remain qualified for taxation as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, the amount and timing of any future dividends, our existing or future leverage and debt service obligations, our ability to sell shares under our “at the market” program and the use of any such proceeds from that program, our future prospects for growth, our projected assets under management, our future capital expenditure levels, our historical and anticipated funds from operations, our future financing transactions, our estimates of growth, and our plans to fund our future liquidity needs. These statements are based on the current expectations of our management. It is important to note that our actual results could be materially different from those projected in such forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, AFFO, and prospects, or the business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, AFFO, and prospects of any entities resulting from the potential separation transactions. You should exercise caution in relying on forward-looking statements as they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may materially affect our future results, performance, achievements or transactions. Information on factors that could impact actual results and cause them to differ from what is anticipated in the forward-looking statements contained herein is included in this Report as well as in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including but not limited to those described in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2015, as amended by a Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on March 17, 2015, or the 2014 Annual Report, and Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 as filed with the SEC on May 18, 2015. Moreover, because we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, new risks are likely to emerge from time to time. Given these risks and uncertainties, potential investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as a prediction of future results, which speak only as of the date of this Report, unless noted otherwise. Except as required by federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not undertake to revise or update any forward-looking statements.

All references to “Notes” throughout the document refer to the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements of the registrant in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited).

W. P. CAREY INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Business and Organization

W. P. Carey Inc., or W. P. Carey, is, together with its consolidated subsidiaries and predecessors, a REIT that provides long-term financing via sale-leaseback and build-to-suit transactions for companies worldwide and manages a global investment portfolio. We invest primarily in commercial properties domestically and internationally. We earn revenue principally by leasing the properties we own to single corporate tenants, primarily on a triple-net lease basis, which generally requires each tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property.

Originally founded in 1973, we reorganized as a REIT in September 2012 in connection with our merger with Corporate Property Associates 15 Incorporated. We refer to that merger as the CPA^®:15 Merger. On January 31, 2014, Corporate Property Associates 16 – Global Incorporated, or CPA^®:16 – Global, merged with and into us (Note 4), which we refer to as the CPA^®:16 Merger. Our shares of common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “WPC.”

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Section 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, we are not generally subject to United States federal income taxation other than from our taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income and the level of our distributions, as well as other factors. We hold all of our real estate assets attributable to our Real Estate Ownership segment under the REIT structure, while the activities conducted by our Investment Management segment subsidiaries have been organized under TRSs.

Through our TRSs we also earn revenue as the advisor to publicly-owned, non-listed REITs, which are sponsored by us under the Corporate Property Associates, or CPA^®,brand name that invest in similar properties. At September 30, 2015, we were the advisor to Corporate Property Associates 17 – Global Incorporated, or CPA^®:17 – Global, and Corporate Property Associates 18 – Global Incorporated, or CPA^®:18 – Global. We were also the advisor to CPA^®:16 – Global until its merger with us on January 31, 2014. We refer to CPA^®:16 – Global, CPA^®:17 – Global, and CPA^®:18 – Global together as the CPA^® REITs. At September 30, 2015, we were also the advisor to Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated, referred to as CWI or CWI 1, and Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated, or CWI 2, two publicly-owned, non-listed REITs that invest in lodging and lodging-related properties. We refer to CWI 1 and CWI 2 together as the CWI REITs, and, together with the CPA^® REITs, as the Managed REITs (Note 5). We have also invested in Carey Credit Income Fund, or CCIF, a newly formed business development company, or BDC (Note 8), with a third-party investment partner, which is the master fund in a master/feeder fund structure.

In July 2015, two registration statements on Form N-2 for two feeder funds of CCIF, or the CCIF Feeder Funds, were declared effective by the SEC. The CCIF Feeder Funds intend to invest the proceeds that they raise in their respective public offerings into the master fund, CCIF. The advisor to CCIF is wholly owned by us. We refer to CCIF and the CCIF Feeder Funds collectively as the Managed BDCs and, together with the Managed REITs, as the Managed Programs.

Reportable Segments

Real Estate Ownership — We own and invest in commercial properties principally in the United States, Europe, and Asia that are then leased to companies, primarily on a triple-net lease basis. We have also invested in several operating properties, such as lodging and self-storage properties. We earn lease revenues from our wholly-owned and co-owned real estate investments that we control. In addition, we generate equity income through co-owned real estate investments that we do not control and through our ownership of shares of the Managed REITs (Note 8). Through our special member interests in the operating partnerships of the Managed REITs, we also participate in their cash flows (Note 5). At September 30, 2015, our owned portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interests in 854 properties, totaling approximately 89.8 million square feet, substantially all of which were net leased to 221 tenants, with an occupancy rate of 98.8%.

Investment Management — Through our TRSs, we structure and negotiate investments and debt placement transactions for the Managed REITs, for which we earn structuring revenue, and manage their portfolios of real estate investments, for which we earn asset-based management revenue. We may earn disposition revenue when we negotiate and structure the sale of properties on behalf of the Managed REITs, and we may also earn incentive revenue and receive other compensation in connection with providing liquidity events for the Managed REITs’ stockholders. At September 30, 2015, CPA^®:17 – Global and CPA^®:18 – Global collectively owned all or a portion of 421 properties, including certain properties in which we have an ownership interest. Substantially all of these properties, totaling approximately 47.5 million square feet, were net leased to 199 tenants, with an average occupancy rate of approximately 99.9%. The Managed REITs also had interests in 157 operating properties, totaling approximately 18.2 million square feet. We continue to explore alternatives for expanding our investment management

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

operations by raising funds beyond advising the existing Managed REITs. Any such expansion could involve the purchase of properties or other investments as principal, either for our owned portfolio or with the intention of transferring such investments to a newly-created fund, as well as the sponsorship of one or more funds to make investments other than primarily net lease investments, such as the CWI REITs and the Managed BDCs. These new funds could invest primarily in assets other than net-lease real estate and could include funds raised through private placements or publicly-traded vehicles, either in the United States or internationally.

Note 2. Revisions of Previously-Issued Financial Statements

During the second quarter of 2015, we identified errors in the March 31, 2015 interim consolidated financial statements related to the calculation of foreign currency translation of the assets and liabilities of a foreign investment acquired in January 2015 and the presentation of certain foreign currency losses within the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015. We evaluated the impact on the previously issued financial statements and concluded that these errors were not material to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015. However, in order to correctly present such foreign currency translation and certain foreign currency losses, we will revise the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income, equity, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 when such statements are presented in our future public filings. The interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015 are not impacted by these adjustments.

If the correct foreign currency translation adjustments had been recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2015, Total assets and Total liabilities and equity each would have been higher by $17.6 million, comprised of increases in Real estate, at cost of $14.8 million and In-place lease intangibles of $2.8 million with a corresponding increase of $0.3 million in Below-market rent and other intangible liabilities, net and a $17.3 million decrease in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of equity as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Additionally, Other comprehensive loss, Comprehensive loss, and Comprehensive loss attributable to W. P. Carey within the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss each would have been reduced by $17.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

In addition, if foreign currency losses had been properly presented within the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015, Net cash provided by operating activities for that period would have increased by $13.6 million with a corresponding decrease to the Effect of exchange rate changes on cash.

The revisions described above had no effect on our cash balances or liquidity as of March 31, 2015, or the consolidated statements of income or basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Note 3. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2014, which are included in the 2014 Annual Report, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have not been included in this Report. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2015 10-Q – 10

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Basis of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries and our tenancy-in-common interests as described below. The portion of equity in a consolidated subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us is presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

At September 30, 2015, we had an investment in a tenancy-in-common interest in various underlying international properties. Consolidation of this investment is not required as such interest does not qualify as a VIE and does not meet the control requirement for consolidation. Accordingly, we account for this investment using the equity method of accounting. We use the equity method of accounting because the shared decision-making involved in a tenancy-in-common interest investment provides us with significant influence on the operating and financial decisions of this investment. We also have certain investments in wholly-owned tenancy-in-common interests, which we now consolidate after we obtained the remaining interests in the CPA^®:16 Merger.

At September 30, 2015, we consolidated 18 VIEs. We apply accounting guidance for consolidation of VIEs to certain entities in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Fixed price purchase and renewal options within a lease as well as certain decision-making rights within a loan can cause us to consider an entity a VIE.

Additionally, we own interests in single-tenant, net-leased properties leased to companies through noncontrolling interests in partnerships and limited liability companies that we do not control but over which we exercise significant influence. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. At times, the carrying value of our equity investments may fall below zero for certain investments. We intend to fund our share of the jointly-owned investments’ future operating deficits should the need arise. However, we have no legal obligation to pay for any of the liabilities of such investments nor do we have any legal obligation to fund operating deficits. At September 30, 2015, one of our equity investments was a VIE and none had carrying values below zero.

In June 2014, CWI 2 filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to sell up to $1.0 billion of common stock in an initial public offering plus up to an additional $400.0 million of its common stock under a distribution reinvestment plan. In January 2015, CWI 2 amended the registration statement to increase the offering size to $1.4 billion of its class A common stock plus up to an additional $600.0 million of its class A common stock through its distribution reinvestment plan. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on February 9, 2015. An amended registration statement adding the class T common stock was declared effective by the SEC on April 13, 2015, so that the offering amounts noted can be in any combination of class A or class T shares. Through May 15, 2015, the financial activity of CWI 2 was included in our consolidated financial statements. On May 15, 2015, upon CWI 2 reaching its minimum offering proceeds and admitting new stockholders, we deconsolidated CWI 2 and began to account for our interest in it under the equity method. The deconsolidation did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The consolidated financial statements included in this Report have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the disposition of certain properties as discontinued operations and certain measurement period adjustments related to purchase accounting for all periods presented.

Recent Accounting Requirements

The following Accounting Standards Updates, or ASUs, promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board are applicable to us:

ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805) — ASU 2015-16 requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments identified during the business combination measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The effects on earnings due to changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects as a result of the change are also recognized in the same period’s financial statements. ASU 2015-16 also requires that acquirers present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment had been recognized as of the



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2015 10-Q – 11

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years, early adoption is permitted, and prospective application is required for adjustments that are identified after the effective date of this update. We elected to early adopt ASU 2015-16 and implemented the standard prospectively beginning July 1, 2015.

ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) — ASU 2015-03 changes the presentation of debt issuance costs, which are currently recognized as a deferred charge (that is, an asset) and requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. ASU 2015-03 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015, early adoption is permitted and retrospective application is required. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-03 on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) — ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 does not apply to our lease revenues, but will apply to reimbursed tenant costs and revenues generated from our operating properties and our Investment Management business. Additionally, this guidance modifies disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year, until years beginning in 2018, with early adoption permitted but not before 2017, the original public company effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.

Note 4. Merger with CPA^®:16 – Global

On July 25, 2013, we and CPA^®:16 – Global entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which CPA^®:16 – Global would merge with and into one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, subject to the approval of our stockholders and the stockholders of CPA^®:16 – Global. On January 24, 2014, our stockholders and the stockholders of CPA^®:16 – Global each approved the CPA^®:16 Merger, and the CPA^®:16 Merger closed on January 31, 2014.

In the CPA^®:16 Merger, CPA^®:16 – Global stockholders received 0.1830 shares of our common stock in exchange for each share of CPA^®:16 – Global stock owned, pursuant to an exchange ratio based upon a value of $11.25 per share of CPA^®:16 – Global and the volume weighted-average trading price of our common stock for the five consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day preceding the closing of the transaction on January 31, 2014. CPA^®:16 – Global stockholders received cash in lieu of any fractional shares in the CPA^®:16 Merger. We paid total merger consideration of approximately $1.8 billion, including the issuance of 30,729,878 shares of our common stock with a fair value of $1.8 billion based on the closing price of our common stock on January 31, 2014, of $59.08 per share, to the stockholders of CPA^®:16 – Global in exchange for the 168,041,772 shares of CPA^®:16 – Global common stock that we and our affiliates did not previously own, and cash of $1.3 million paid in lieu of issuing any fractional shares, or collectively, the Merger Consideration. As a condition of the CPA^®:16 Merger, we waived the subordinated disposition and termination fees that we would have been entitled to receive from CPA^®:16 – Global upon its liquidation pursuant to the terms of our advisory agreement with CPA^®:16 – Global (Note 5).

Immediately prior to the CPA^®:16 Merger, CPA^®:16 – Global’s portfolio was comprised of the consolidated full or partial interests in 325 leased properties, substantially all of which were triple-net leased with an average remaining life of 10.4 years and an estimated contractual minimum annualized base rent, or ABR, totaling $300.1 million, and two hotel properties. The related property-level debt was comprised of 92 fixed-rate and 18 variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans with an aggregate fair value of approximately $1.8 billion and a weighted-average annual interest rate of 5.6% at that date. Additionally, CPA^®:16 – Global had a line of credit with an outstanding balance of $170.0 million on the date of the closing of the CPA^®:16 Merger. In addition, CPA^®:16 – Global had equity interests in 18 unconsolidated investments, 11 of which were consolidated by us prior to the CPA^®:16 Merger, five of which were consolidated by us subsequent to the CPA^®:16 Merger, and two of which were jointly-owned with CPA^®:17 – Global. These investments owned 140 properties, substantially all of which were triple-net leased with an average remaining life of 8.6 years and an estimated ABR totaling $63.9 million, as of January 31, 2014. The debt related to these equity investments was comprised of 17 fixed-rate and five variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans with an aggregate fair value of approximately $0.3 billion and a weighted-average annual interest rate of 4.8% on January 31, 2014. The lease revenues and income from continuing operations from the properties acquired from the date of the CPA^®:16 Merger through September 30, 2014 were $184.3 million and $62.5 million (inclusive of $2.2 million attributable to noncontrolling interests), respectively.



	W. P. Carey 9/30/2015 10-Q – 12

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

During 2014, we sold all ten of the properties that were classified as held-for-sale upon acquisition in connection with the CPA^®:16 Merger (Note 16). The results of operations for all ten of these properties have been included in Income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, we sold one property subject to a direct financing lease that we acquired in the CPA^®:16 Merger. The results of operations for this property have been included in Income from continuing operations before income taxes in the consolidated financial statements.

Purchase Price Allocation

We accounted for the CPA^®:16 Merger as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. After consideration of all applicable factors pursuant to the business combination accounting rules, we were considered the “accounting acquirer” due to various factors, including the fact that our stockholders held the largest portion of the voting rights in us upon completion of the CPA^®:16 Merger. Costs of $30.5 million related to the CPA^®:16 Merger were incurred in 2014, of which $30.4 million were incurred and expensed during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and classified within Merger and property acquisition expenses in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, CPA^®:16 – Global incurred a total of $10.6 million of merger expenses prior to January 31, 2014.

Equity Investments and Noncontrolling Interests

During the first quarter of 2014, we recognized a gain on change in control of interests of approximately $73.1 million, which was the difference between the carrying value of approximately $274.1 million and the preliminary estimated fair value of approximately $347.2 million of our previously-held equity interest in 38,229,294 shares of CPA^®:16 – Global’s common stock. During 2014, we identified certain measurement period adjustments that impacted the provisional accounting, which increased the estimated fair value of our previously-held equity interest in shares of CPA^®:16 – Global’s common stock by $2.6 million, resulting in an increase of $2.6 million in Gain on change in control of interests. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 805-10-25, we did not record the measurement period adjustments during the periods they occurred. Rather, such amounts are reflected in the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The CPA^®:16 Merger also resulted in our acquisition of the remaining interests in nine investments in which we already had a joint interest and accounted for under the equity method. Upon acquiring the remaining interests in these investments, we owned 100% of these investments and thus accounted for the acquisitions of these interests utilizing the purchase method of accounting. Due to the change in control of the nine jointly-owned investments that occurred, we recorded a gain on change in control of interests of approximately $30.2 million during the first quarter of 2014, which was the difference between our carrying values and the estimated fair values of our previously-held equity interests on the acquisition date of approximately $142.5 million and approximately $172.7 million, respectively. Subsequent to the CPA^®:16 Merger, we consolidate these wholly-owned investments.

In connection with the CPA^®:16 Merger, we also acquired the remaining interests in 12 less-than-wholly-owned investments that we already consolidate and recorded an adjustment to additional paid-in-capital of approximately $42.0 million during the first quarter of 2014 related to the difference between our carrying values and the preliminary estimated fair values of our previously-held noncontrolling interests on the acquisition date of approximately $236.8 million and $278.2 million, respectively. During 2014, we identified certain measurement period adjustments that impacted the provisional accounting, which increased the fair value of our previously-held noncontrolling interests on the acquisition date by $0.6 million, resulting in a reduction of $0.6 million to additional paid-in-capital.

Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)

The following unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information has been presented as if the CPA^®:16 Merger had occurred on January 1, 2013 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results would have been had the CPA^®:16 Merger occurred on that date, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursements

Under the expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement we have with each of the CCIF Feeder Funds, we and the CCIF subadvisor are obligated to reimburse the CCIF Feeder Fund 50% of the excess of the cumulative distributions paid to the CCIF Feeder Funds’ shareholders over the available operating funds on a monthly basis. Following any month in which the available operating funds exceed the cumulative distributions paid to its shareholders, the excess operating funds are used to reimburse us and the CCIF subadvisor for any expense payment we made within three years prior to the last business day of such month that have not been previously reimbursed by the CCIF Feeder Fund, up to the lesser of (i) 1.75% of each CCIF Feeder Fund’s average net assets or (ii) the percentage of each CCIF Feeder Fund’s average net assets attributable to its common shares represented by other operating expenses during the fiscal year in which such expense support payment from us and the CCIF’s subadvisor was made, provided that the effective rate of distributions per share at the time of reimbursement is not less than such rate at the time of expense payment.

Distributions of Available Cash and Deferred Revenue Earned

We are entitled to receive distributions of up to 10% of the Available Cash (as defined in the respective advisory agreements) from the operating partnerships of each of the Managed REITs, as described in their respective operating partnership agreements, payable quarterly in arrears.

In May 2011, we acquired a special member interest, or the Special Member Interest, in CPA^®:16 – Global’s operating partnership. We initially recorded this Special Member Interest at its fair value, and amortized it into earnings as deferred revenue through the date of the CPA^®:16 Merger. Cash distributions of our proportionate share of earnings from the Managed REITs’ operating partnerships, as well as deferred revenue earned from our Special Member Interest in CPA^®:16 – Global’s operating partnership, are recorded as Equity in earnings of equity method investments in real estate and the Managed REITs within the Real Estate Ownership segment.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

On June 25, 2014, we made an $11.0 million loan to CWI 1, with a scheduled maturity date of June 30, 2015.

Treasury Stock

In February 2014, we repurchased 11,037 shares of our common stock for $0.7 million in cash from the former independent directors of CPA^®:16 – Global at a price per share equal to the volume weighted-average trading price of our stock utilized in the CPA^®:16 Merger. These shares were issued to them as their portion of the Merger Consideration in exchange for their shares of CPA^®:16 – Global common stock (Note 4) and were repurchased by agreement in order to satisfy the independence requirements set forth in the organizational documents of the remaining CPA^® REITs, for which these individuals also serve as independent directors.

Other

At September 30, 2015, we owned interests ranging from 3% to 90% in jointly-owned investments, including a jointly-controlled tenancy-in-common interest in several properties, with the remaining interests generally held by affiliates, and stock of each of the Managed REITs and CCIF. We consolidate certain of these investments and account for the remainder under the equity method of accounting.
