CPA(R):18 - Global Commences $1 Billion Offering

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - May 13, 2013) - W. P. Carey Inc. ( NYSE : WPC ), a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), announced today that the registration statement for Corporate Property Associates 18 - Global ("CPA^® :18 - Global") has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and that CPA^® :18 - Global has commenced a capital raise of up to $1 billion. CPA^® :18 - Global is W. P. Carey's newest publicly-registered non-traded REIT offering, that seeks to build a global portfolio of income-generating commercial properties and real estate-related assets.

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.

A copy of the final prospectus for the offering is available upon written request addressed to CPA^® :18 - Global, 50 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, New York 10020. This prospectus may also be obtained on the SEC's website at: www.sec.gov , or on CPA^® :18 - Global's website at www.cpa18global.com .
