The ~~complaint relates to the proposed~~ merger ~~between~~proposal ~~CPA® 16 — Global and W. P. Carey (the “Merger”), which~~ was ~~publicly announced on July 25, 2013~~approved. The complaint alleges breaches of fiduciary duty by the individual defendants, that the entity defendants aided and abetted such breaches, and that the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus relating to the Merger, dated December 5, 2013, contained inadequate disclosure about certain matters. The complaint demands that a class be certified and plaintiffs named as class representatives; supplemental disclosures to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus be issued; the Merger be rescinded if it is consummated; damages be awarded; and plaintiffs’ attorneys fees and other costs be reimbursed. On January 10, 2014, the plaintiffs asked the court to issue a temporary restraining order on January 17, 2014 enjoining the vote of the stockholders of CPA® 16 — Global pending the completion of expedited discovery and a preliminary injunction hearing.
