Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On June 5, 2015, American Realty Capital New York City REIT II, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an indemnification agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”) with Nicholas Radesca in connection with the appointment of Mr. Radesca as interim chief financial officer and treasurer of the Company, as described in Item 5.02 below.

The Indemnification Agreement is substantially similar in form to the indemnification agreement entered into by the Company with its other directors and officers and provides that the Company will indemnify Mr. Radesca to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law and the Company’s charter and subject to the limitations set forth in the Indemnification Agreement, from and against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and expenses reasonably incurred by Mr. Radesca that may result or arise in connection with Mr. Radesca serving in his capacity as a present or former director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or as a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that Mr. Radesca is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the Company. The Indemnification Agreement further provides that, subject to the limitations set forth in the Indemnification Agreement, the Company will, without requiring a preliminary determination of Mr. Radesca’s ultimate entitlement of indemnification under the Indemnification Agreement, advance all reasonable expenses to Mr. Radesca incurred by or on behalf of Mr. Radesca in connection with any proceeding Mr. Radesca is or is threatened to be made a party to.

The Indemnification Agreement provides that Mr. Radesca is entitled to indemnification unless it is established by clear and convincing evidence that (a) the act or omission of Mr. Radesca was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) Mr. Radesca actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, Mr. Radesca had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The Indemnification Agreement further limits Mr. Radesca’s entitlement to indemnification in cases where (a) Mr. Radesca’s negligence or willful misconduct caused loss or liability to the Company, (b) loss or liability arose from an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless certain conditions were met, (c) the proceeding was one by or in the right of the Company and Mr. Radesca was adjudged to be liable to the Company, (d) Mr. Radesca was adjudged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received in any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to Mr. Radesca or (e) the proceeding was brought by Mr. Radesca, except in certain circumstances.

The Indemnification Agreement also provides that, except for a proceeding brought by Mr. Radesca, the Company has the right to defend Mr. Radesca in any proceeding which may give rise to indemnification under the applicable Indemnification Agreement. The Indemnification Agreement grants Mr. Radesca the right to separate counsel in certain proceedings involving separate defenses, counterclaims or other conflicts of interest and in proceedings in which the Company fails to assume the defense of Mr. Radesca in a timely manner. The Indemnification Agreement further provides that the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to acquire directors and officers liability insurance covering Mr. Radesca or any claim made against Mr. Radesca by reason of his service to the Company.

The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indemnification Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
