Under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to the Purchaser all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Cole Capital Advisors, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company that sponsors and manages non-listed real estate investment trusts (“Cole Capital”), and certain of Cole Capital’s subsidiaries. The sale closed (the “Closing”) on February 1, 2018 for total consideration of approximately $120 million paid in cash.
At the Closing, the Operating Partnership and Cole Capital entered into a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”), a form of which was attached as an exhibit to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will continue to provide certain services to Cole Capital and its subsidiaries and to Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc.

The Company will continue to provide such services through March 31, 2019 (or, if later, the date of the last government filing other than a tax filing made by any of the Cole REITs with respect to its 2018 fiscal year) and will provide consulting and research services through December 31, 2023 as requested by Cole Capital. Under the terms of the Services Agreement, the Operating Partnership will be entitled to receive reimbursement for certain of the services provided and fees based on the future revenues of Cole Capital above a specified dollar threshold (the “Net Revenue Payments”), up to an aggregate of $80 million in Net Revenue Payments.

Exhibit 10.1

FIRST AMENDMENT TO
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT


This FIRST AMENDMENT (this “ Amendment ”), effective as of February 1, 2018, is to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated November 13, 2017 (the “ Agreement ”), by and between VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ Seller ”) and CCA Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Purchaser ”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.6 of the Agreement, the Agreement may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified by a written instrument signed by Purchaser and Seller; and

WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller desire to amend certain terms of the Agreement as set forth in this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein and other valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

1. The definition of “Company Transaction Expenses” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“‘ Company Transaction Expenses ’ means the unpaid obligations, fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company or any of the Purchased Subsidiaries (together, the ‘ Responsible Entities ’) or that are payable by the Responsible Entities (whether due prior, on or after the Closing) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents (except for the Services Agreement), including (i) fees and expenses of legal counsel, investment bankers, accountants and other advisors, (ii)(x) transaction bonuses, severance payments, change of control payments, excise tax gross-up payments, retention payments, stay bonuses, payments with respect to stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent payments or other payments that arise as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the employer portion of any FICA and other payroll Taxes payable in respect thereto, and (y) any unpaid severance obligations or other termination payments resulting from terminations of employment on or before the Closing, (iii) except as set forth in Section 9.1, all fees and expenses associated with obtaining approvals, consents and waivers and (iv) any broker’s fees incurred or payable by or on behalf of the Responsible Entities.”

2. Section 1.4 is amended by inserting new paragraphs (f) and (g) reading as follows:

“(f)      Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.4, solely with respect to the current portion of program development costs with respect to Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT III), Inc., (i) for purposes of the Closing Balance Sheet, the amount of the current portion of program development costs shall be equal to $120,000 (the “ Initial CCIT III Adjustment Amount” ), and (ii) within ten (10) Business Days after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller a statement (the “ CCIT III Statement ”) setting forth in reasonable detail the total dollar amount of capital raised by Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT III), Inc. during the twelve months ending January 31, 2019 (the “ CCIT III Capital Raise Amount ”) and its calculation of the lesser of one percent (1%) of the CCIT III Capital Raise Amount and $2,231,146 (the “ CCIT III Expected Amount ”). If the CCIT III Expected Amount as set forth in the CCIT III Statement is (x) greater than the Initial




CCIT III Adjustment Amount, then Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller, within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the CCIT III Statement, an amount equal to the difference between the CCIT III Expected Amount and the Initial CCIT III Adjustment Amount, and (y) less than the Initial CCIT III Adjustment Amount, then Seller shall pay or cause to be paid to Purchaser or its designee, within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the CCIT III Statement, an amount equal to the difference between the CCIT III Expected Amount and the Initial CCIT III Adjustment Amount (such payment, the “ CCIT III True-Up Payment ”). The review and dispute resolution provisions of Section 1.4(b), (c) and (d) shall apply mutatis mutandis with respect to the calculation of the CCIT III Capital Raise Amount and the determination of the amount of the CCIT III True-Up Payment and the components thereof. Within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the CCIT III True-Up Payment amount and the components thereof are finalized, Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, shall pay to the other Party the difference between the CCIT III True-Up Payment as so finalized and the amount of the CCIT III True-Up Payment previously paid to or by such other Party, as applicable. All payments to Seller under this Section 1.4(f) shall be made in the same manner as Seller received the Closing Cash Payment Amount or in such other manner as Seller may direct in writing.

(g)      Neither the Estimated Closing Working Capital Amount nor the Closing Working Capital Amount shall reflect a tax refund receivable from any taxing jurisdiction or a liability related to the proposed assessment by the state of New York with respect to the Company’s taxable years ending December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014.”

; and re-labeling the existing paragraphs (f) and (g) as (h) and (i), respectively.

3. Section 5.9(b) is amended by inserting new paragraph (iv) as follows:

“Seller shall prepare the United States federal and any state income tax returns of the Company for calendar year 2017 and for the short period beginning on January 1, 2018 and ending on the Closing Date, and shall provide drafts of such returns to Purchaser in accordance with Section 5.9(b)(i). On the 2017 federal income tax return, Seller shall request a refund of overpayments, net of amounts to be credited with respect to the short period 2018 (which Seller intends to be at least equal to the amount due for the short period 2018). Purchaser shall file or cause to be filed such tax returns as promptly as practicable and will file or cause to be filed Form 8050 with the 2017 federal tax return, requesting a direct deposit of the 2017 refund into a bank account designated by Seller. If the IRS issues a check for the refund, Purchaser shall deposit or cause to be deposited the check and promptly wire or cause to be wired the amount of the refund to Seller. To the extent that there is tax due on the short period 2018 tax return in excess of the amount credited from 2017, Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid such excess and Seller shall promptly reimburse Purchaser or the payor for such amount. To the extent that there is a refund on the short period 2018 federal tax return, Purchaser shall seek to have the refund deposited directly with Seller or, if the IRS issues a check for the refund, Purchaser shall deposit or cause to be deposited the check and promptly wire or cause to be wired the amount of the refund to Seller. Any liability resulting from the proposed assessment by the state of New York with respect to the Company’s taxable years ending December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014 shall be paid to the relevant New York taxing authority promptly upon the resolution or settlement of such proposed assessment, such payment to be made by Seller if practicable, otherwise by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates (in which case Seller will indemnify Purchaser and all applicable Purchaser Indemnified Parties for such payment in accordance with Section 7.2). In the event of any conflict between this Section 5.9(b)(iv) and Section 5.9(b)(i), this Section 5.9(b)(iv) shall control.”




4. The definition of “Seller-Developed Software” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Information set forth herein (including information included or incorporated by reference herein) contains “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), which reflect VEREIT’s expectations regarding future events and VEREIT's future financial condition, results of operations and business, including VEREIT’s plan to simplify its core business model and focus on its core real estate operating business, and the possibility that VEREIT could be paid up to an additional $80 million in fees under the services agreement based on Cole’s future revenues. The forward-looking statements involve a number of assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Generally, the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “assumes,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” variations of such words and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond VEREIT’s control. If a change occurs, VEREIT’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.
 
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: VEREIT’s plans, market and other expectations, objectives, intentions and other statements that are not historical facts; the developments disclosed herein; VEREIT’s ability to execute on and realize success from its business plan; VEREIT’s ability to meet its 2017 guidance; VEREIT’s ability to provide the required services under the services agreement, as well as Cole’s ability to generate qualifying revenue under the services agreement; risks associated with pending government investigations and litigations related to VEREIT's previously disclosed audit committee investigation; the ability to retain or hire key personnel; and continuation or deterioration of current market conditions. Additional factors that may affect future results are contained in VEREIT’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Exhibit 99.2

Overview
On February 1, 2018, VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P., (the “Operating Partnership”) the operating partnership of VEREIT, Inc. (“VEREIT” and together with the Operating Partnership, the “Company”) completed the sale of all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Cole Capital Advisors, Inc. (“CCA”), a subsidiary of the Company that sponsors and manages non-listed real estate investment trusts (the “Cole REITs”), and certain of CCA’s subsidiaries (together with CCA, “Cole Capital”), for approximately $120 million in cash paid at closing (the “Cole Capital Sale”). The Operating Partnership and Cole Capital entered into a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will continue to provide certain services to Cole Capital and to the Cole REITs including operational real estate support. The Company will continue to provide such services through March 31, 2019 (or, if later, the date of the last government filing other than a tax filing made by any of the Cole REITs with respect to its 2018 fiscal year) and will provide consulting and research services through December 31, 2023 as requested by Cole Capital. Under the terms of the Services Agreement, the Operating Partnership will be entitled to receive reimbursement for certain of the services provided and fees based on the future revenues of Cole Capital above a specified dollar threshold (the “Net Revenue Payments”), up to an aggregate of $80 million in Net Revenue Payments. Subsequent to the Cole Capital Sale, the Company will no longer consolidate the financial results of Cole Capital. Beginning with the consolidated financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2017, certain historical financial results of Cole Capital will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheets of VEREIT and the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2017, are presented as if the sale had occurred on September 30, 2017. The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations of VEREIT and the Operating Partnership for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 are presented as if the sale had occurred on February 7, 2014, the date the Company acquired and commenced operations of Cole Capital.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the pro forma financial position and results of operations of VEREIT and the Operating Partnership as of and for the periods indicated; however, the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not intended to be indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have actually occurred nor do they purport to represent the financial position or results of operations for future periods. The retrospectively adjusted financial position and results of operations for the indicated periods when reported in the post-sale periodic reports may differ from the pro forma financial statements presented herein. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and notes accompanying the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the Quarterly Report on the Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2017.
These unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations do not include the impact of any strategies that management may have considered in order to efficiently manage the Company's operations had the sale occurred on February 7, 2014. Pro forma adjustments have not been made in the accompanying pro forma consolidated statements of operations of VEREIT and the Operating Partnership for the estimated loss on disposition resulting from the Cole Capital Sale, for any reimbursements or Net Revenue Payments under the Services Agreement, or for the use of proceeds resulting from the Cole Capital Sale.

Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited)

Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
Reflects the disposition of certain equity method investments in the Cole REITs and the reclassification of the remaining investments under the cost method to other assets, due to the fact that after the Cole Capital Sale, the Company would no longer account for its remaining investments in the Cole REITs under the equity method because the Company would not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the Cole REITs.

Cash and cash equivalents
Reflects the estimated sale proceeds, including estimated working capital and cash adjustments as defined by the Purchase and Sale Agreement and consideration for certain of the Company's investments in the Cole REITs, less estimated transaction costs.

Rent and tenant receivables and other assets, net
Reflects recognition of certain investments in the Cole REITs under the cost method. After the Cole Capital Sale, the Company would account for its investments in the Cole REITs under the cost method, as the Company would not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the Cole REITs. Additionally, reflects amounts receivable from the Cole REITs, which were reclassified to other assets from due from affiliates, net of Cole Capital's historical other assets.

Due from affiliates

Non-controlling interests
Reflects the portion attributable to non-controlling interests of the estimated loss from the Cole Capital Sale, including estimated transaction costs, and the offsetting effect of the change from the equity method to cost method of accounting for the Company's investments in the Cole REITs.

General and administrative expenses
In addition to Cole Capital's historical general and administrative expenses, reflects general and administrative expenses incurred related to 1031 real estate programs reclassified to other income, net.

Other Income, net
In addition to Cole Capital's historical other income, net, reflects the reclassification of revenue earned, net of general and administrative expenses incurred related to the 1031 real estate programs, reclassified from Cole Capital revenue and general and administrative expenses, respectively, and the recognition of dividend income from certain Cole REITs under the cost method of accounting, because the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the Cole REITs after the Cole Capital Sale. The Company historically recognized equity in income from the Cole REITs under the equity method of accounting.

Equity in Income
Reflects the elimination of equity in income from the Cole REITs historically recorded under the equity method of accounting, because the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the Cole REITs after the Cole Capital Sale.
