~~Subject~~Item ~~to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each CPA®:14 stockholder of record on the applicable record date will receive total consideration valued at $11~~9.5001 ~~per~~Financial ~~share,~~Statements ~~comprised of a special cash distribution of $1.00 per share~~ and ~~the right to elect to receive in the Merger, for each share of CPA®:14 common stock held, either 1~~Exhibits.1932 shares of CPA®:16 — Global common stock or cash in the amount of $10.50 per share. CPA®:14 stockholders of record after the applicable record date and CPA®:14 stockholders who make no election will receive CPA®:16 — Global common stock in the Merger. No fractional shares will be issued in the Merger and all CPA®:14 stockholders entitled to fractional shares will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. CPA®:16 — Global stockholders will continue to hold their shares of CPA®:16 — Global common stock.

~~The special cash distribution of $1~~Exhibit 99.001 isSupplemental ~~expected~~information ~~to be paid, in part, out~~ of the ~~proceeds~~registrant ~~of the~~at sales of CPA®:14’s interests in certain properties to W. P. Carey and Corporate Property Associates 17 — Global Incorporated (“CPA®:17 — Global”) (the “CPA®:14 asset sales”). The closing of the CPA®:14 asset salesDecember 31, which are described in more detail below, is subject to the satisfaction of all other closing conditions in the Merger which by their nature are required to be satisfied prior to the closing of the Merger and are a condition to the closing of the Merger2010.

The Merger exchange ratio of 1.1932 shares of CPA®:16 — Global common stock for 1 share of CPA®:14 common stock (or, if cash is elected, $10.50 for each share of CPA®:14 common stock) was determined based upon estimated net asset values per share for each company as of September 30, 2010 of $8.80 for CPA®:16 — Global and $11.50 for CPA®:14. These estimated net asset values are based in part upon a valuation of each company’s real estate portfolio and indebtedness as of September 30, 2010, as determined by an third-party valuation firm, with adjustments for cash and other items.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 — Global, including, among others, covenants (i) to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and consummation of the Merger and (ii) not to engage in certain kinds of transactions during such period. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, CPA®:16 — Global has also agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange, obtain and consummate a $300 million credit facility to pay for cash elections in the Merger (the “Debt Financing”). CPA®:16 — Global has entered into commitment letters with five lenders in connection with the Debt Financing; however, the commitment letters are subject to a number of closing conditions, including the lenders’ satisfactory completion of due diligence and determination that no material adverse change in CPA®:16 — Global has occurred. In addition, to the extent that the cash on hand and available to CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 — Global, together with the Debt Financing used by CPA®:16 — Global to pay for cash elections, is not sufficient to pay the CPA®:14 stockholders that elect to receive cash in the Merger, W. P. Carey has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (including among others, that holders of 50% or less of the outstanding CPA®:14 common stock elect to receive cash in the Merger), to use funds available to it to purchase additional shares of CPA®:16 — Global common stock to enable CPA®:16 — Global to pay for such cash elections (the “Equity Financing”).

- 2 -

Consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including, among others, (i) the receipt of requisite stockholder approvals, (ii) holders of 50% or less of the outstanding CPA®:14 common stock electing to receive cash in the Merger, (iii) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, (iv) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the shares of CPA®:16 — Global common stock to be issued in the Merger, (v) all consents, approvals, permits and authorizations having been obtained and (vi) the completion of the CPA®:14 asset sales. In addition, CPA®:14’s and CPA®:16 — Global’s respective obligations to consummate the Merger are subject to certain other conditions, including, among others, (i) subject to the standards set forth in the Merger Agreement, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party, (ii) compliance of the other party with its covenants in all material respects, (iii) the delivery of opinions from each party’s counsel relating to the U.S. federal income tax code treatment of the Merger and the real estate investment trust status of each party and (iv) no event, change, effect or circumstance occurring that would constitute a material adverse effect on the other party. CPA®:16 — Global’s obligation to consummate the Merger is also subject to CPA®:16 — Global having obtained the Debt Financing and, if applicable, the Equity Financing.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 — Global. Each of CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 — Global has agreed to pay the other party’s out-of-pocket expenses if the Merger Agreement is terminated because it breaches its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements or if, in the case of CPA®:14, its board of directors withdraws its recommendation of the Merger, or approves or recommends a superior competing transaction. If the Merger Agreement is terminated because the closing condition that CPA®:16 — Global obtain funding pursuant to the Debt Financing and, if applicable, the Equity Financing, is not satisfied or waived, W. P. Carey has agreed to pay CPA®:16 — Global’s and CPA®:14’s out-of-pocket expenses. W. P. Carey has also agreed to pay CPA®:14’s out-of-pocket expenses if the Merger Agreement is terminated due to more than 50% of CPA®:14’s stockholders electing to receive cash in the Merger or CPA®:14 failing to obtain the requisite stockholder approval.

CAM and its affiliates provide investment and advisory services to CPA®:14, CPA®:16 — Global and CPA®:17 — Global and expect to receive termination and subordinated disposition fees in the amount of approximately $46.4 million from CPA®:14 in connection with the Merger and the CPA®:14 asset sales, as well as approximately $6 million in fees from CPA®:14 that have accrued but that have not been paid. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, CAM has agreed to elect to receive the entire amount of the termination fee (less any required taxes) in the form of restricted shares of CPA®:14 common stock. In addition, W. P. Carey and CAM, each in their respective capacity as a stockholder of CPA®:14, have agreed to elect to receive shares of CPA®:16 common stock for all of the CPA®:14 shares of common stock beneficially owned by them in the Merger.

CAM has agreed to indemnify CPA®:16 — Global, its subsidiaries and the independent directors of CPA®:16 — Global for losses incurred by any of them that arise out of a breach by CPA®:14 of its representations and warranties under the Merger Agreement and that have a material adverse effect on CPA®:16 — Global and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the Merger. CAM’s maximum indemnification obligation is $46.4 million, which is the amount of fees that CAM and its affiliates expect to receive in connection with the Merger and the CPA®:14 asset sales.

In connection with the Merger, CPA®:16 — Global proposes to implement an internal reorganization following the consummation of the Merger pursuant to which CPA®:16 — Global will be reorganized as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (an “UPREIT,” and the reorganization, the “UPREIT reorganization”) to hold substantially all of its assets and liabilities in a newly formed partnership subsidiary, CPA 16 Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). Each of CAM and W. P. Carey BV has agreed that if the UPREIT reorganization is implemented in conjunction with the Merger, CAM and W. P. Carey BV will each enter into an amended advisory agreement with CPA®:16 — Global and the Operating Partnership to give effect to the UPREIT reorganization and the fees and distributions payable to CAM, W. P. Carey BV and their respective affiliates after the Reorganization. The UPREIT reorganization is subject to the approval of CPA®:16 — Global’s stockholders.

CAM and W. P. Carey BV have also agreed to waive any acquisition fees, subordinated acquisition fees, subordinated disposition fees and subordinated distributions payable by CPA®:16 — Global or the Operating Partnership in connection with the acquisition and/or subsequent disposition of properties and assets acquired by CPA®:16 — Global from CPA®:14 in the Merger. To the extent any subordinated incentive fees, subordinated distributions or termination fees are payable to CAM or W. P. Carey BV with respect to the properties and assets acquired by CPA®:16 — Global from CPA®:14 in the Merger, CAM and W. P. Carey BV have agreed to calculate such fees based upon (i) in the case of subordinated incentive fees and subordinated distributions, net cash proceeds realized by CPA®:16 — Global in excess of the appraised value of the applicable asset or assets that was used in determining the Merger consideration and (ii) in the case of termination fees, the excess of the fair value of the applicable asset or assets over the appraised value of such asset or assets that was used in determining the Merger consideration.

The parties to the Merger Agreement intend that the Merger satisfy applicable requirements to qualify as a tax-free reorganization to the extent that a CPA®:14 stockholder receives shares of CPA®:16 — Global common stock in the Merger. If the total cash consideration being paid in connection with the Merger would cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a tax-free reorganization, then the Merger will be implemented through an alternate structure. The Merger Agreement contains a number of provisions designed to change the mechanics of the transaction in the event the alternate structure is used without changing the overall economics of the transaction to CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 — Global stockholders.

Sale and Purchase Agreements

On December 13, 2010, CPA®:14 also entered into a sale and purchase agreement with CPA®:17 — Global (the “CPA®:17 Sale and Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which CPA®:14 has agreed to sell and CPA®:17 — Global has agreed to purchase CPA®:14 interests in three properties immediately prior to the closing of the Merger for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $57.4 million plus an assumption of approximately $153.9 million of indebtedness. On December 13, 2010, CPA®:14 also entered into a sale and purchase agreement with W. P. Carey (the “W. P. Carey Sale and Purchase Agreement,” together with the CPA®:17 Sale and Purchase Agreement, the “Sale and Purchase Agreements”) pursuant to which CPA®:14 has agreed to sell and W. P. Carey has agreed to purchase CPA®:14 interests in three properties immediately prior to the closing of the Merger for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $32.1 million plus an assumption of approximately $64.7 million of indebtedness. The purchase prices are based upon a valuation of the properties as of September 30, 2010 performed by a third party valuation firm.

The completion of the CPA®:14 asset sales is a condition to the closing of the Merger. The closing of the CPA®:14 asset sales is subject to the satisfaction of all other closing conditions in the Merger.

The Sale and Purchase Agreements may be terminated by CPA®:14 or, as applicable, CPA®:17 — Global or W. P. Carey (i) by mutual written consent, subject to CPA®:16 — Global’s consent which may not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the other party that has a material adverse effect on the assets being sold by CPA®:14 to CPA®:17 — Global or W. P. Carey, as applicable, (iii) if any final and non-appealable judgment, injunction, order, decree or action by any governmental entity prevents the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Sale and Purchase Agreements, (iv) if the Merger is terminated or (v) if the completion of the transactions contemplated in the Sale and Purchase Agreements has not occurred by September 30, 2011, provided that September 30, 2011 may be extended to December 31, 2011 under certain circumstances described in the Sale and Purchase Agreements. In addition, if either CPA®:14 or, as applicable, CPA®:17 — Global or W. P. Carey, fails to consummate the applicable Sale and Purchase Agreement, and the termination is not due to any actions or inactions of the non-defaulting party described in the applicable Sale and Purchase Agreement, the non-defaulting party may terminate, or pursue specific performance under, the applicable Sale and Purchase Agreement.

General

The Merger Agreement, the Merger, the Purchase and Sale Agreements and the other transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement and the Purchase and Sale Agreements have been recommended by special committees of independent directors of CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 — Global and unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are not complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing descriptions of the Sale and Purchase Agreements are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the CPA®:17 Sale and Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the W. P. Carey Sale and Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Merger Agreement and the Sale and Purchase Agreements have been included to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger, the CPA®:14 asset sales and the other transactions contemplated by such agreements. The Merger Agreement and the Sale and Purchase Agreements are not intended to provide any other factual information about CPA®:14, CPA®:16 — Global, CPA®:17 — Global W. P. Carey or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The Merger Agreement and the Sale and Purchase Agreements contain representations and warranties of CPA®:14 and, in the case of the Merger Agreement, CPA®:16 — Global. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the Merger Agreement and the Sale and Purchase Agreements, as the case may be, and, in the case of the Merger Agreement, are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties have exchanged in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement. The disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement. In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of a specific date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what an investor might view as material, or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, you should read the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement and the Sale and Purchase Agreements not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about CPA®:14, CPA®:16 — Global and their respective subsidiaries that are included in reports, statements and other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
