NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - May 13, 2013) - W. P. Carey Inc. (
In its offering, CPA ® :18 - Global is selling up to $1 billion of shares comprised of two classes of common stock: Class A Shares and Class C Shares, with initial public offering prices of $10.00 and $9.35, respectively. The Class A Shares have higher upfront selling fees and commissions, while the Class C Shares pay lower upfront commissions and are subject to an ongoing distribution and servicing fee. CPA ® :18 - Global is also offering up to an additional $400 million of shares of its common stock for issuance pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan. CPA ® :18 - Global intends to qualify as a REIT. Carey Financial, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of W. P. Carey Inc., will manage the best efforts offering through select broker/dealer firms and registered investment advisors.
CPA ® :18 - Global's Board of Directors has declared initial distributions at a daily rate of $0.0001717 for the Class A Shares and $0.0001442 for the Class C Shares for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Distributions will begin to accrue once subscriptions for sales of at least $2 million have been received and the offering breaks escrow.
Distributions are declared in the discretion of CPA ® :18 - Global's Board of Directors and are not guaranteed. Until CPA ® :18 - Global substantially invests the net proceeds of the offering, distributions will be paid from offering proceeds, which reduces amounts available to invest in properties and could lower CPA ® :18 - Global's overall return.
