On March 9, 2015, Robert T. Cassato resigned from his role as an independent director of American Realty Capital-Retail Centers of America II, Inc.

Mr. Cassato served as an independent director and a member of the Company’s audit committee since August 2014. Simultaneously with Mr. Cassato’s resignation, the Company’s board of directors appointed Herbert Vederman as an independent director and a member of the audit committee. There are no related party transactions involving Mr. Vederman that are reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Mr. Vederman, like the Company’s other independent directors, will participate in the Company’s compensation program for independent directors and the Company’s employee and director incentive restricted share plan. The Company pays to each of its independent directors a retainer of $30,000 plus certain per meeting compensation and reimbursements. Under the Company’s employee and director incentive restricted share plan, Mr. Vederman will be entitled to receive an award of 1,333 restricted shares of common stock on the date of his appointment and at each annual stockholder’s meeting thereafter. Restricted stock issued to independent directors under the Company’s employee and director incentive restricted share plan vests over a five-year period following the first anniversary of the date of grant in increments of 20% per annum. Mr. Vederman will also enter into an indemnification agreement with the Company, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s next Annual Report on Form 10-K.
