<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On October 9, 2012, the Company, through an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of its operating partnership, incurred a $7.3 million mortgage loan in connection with its acquisition of the
property. The mortgage loan was advanced by People&rsquo;s United Bank. The mortgage loan bears interest at a rate fixed by an
interest rate swap of 3.295% and requires only monthly interest payments, with the principal balance due on the maturity date in
November 2017. The mortgage loan is nonrecourse and may be accelerated only upon the event of a default. The mortgage loan may
be prepaid, subject to a breakage fee. As the mortgage loan is interest only, it is not subject to amortization, and the principal
outstanding upon maturity will remain $7.3 million.</P>

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On October 9, 2012, American Realty Capital New York Recovery
REIT, Inc. (the "Company"), through a wholly owned subsidiary of its operating partnership, closed the acquisition
of the fee simple interest in a commercial building located at 1623 Kings Highway in Brooklyn, New York. The seller of the property
was Beacon RG Kings Highway LLC. The seller does not have a material relationship with the Company and the acquisition was not
an affiliated transaction.
The contract purchase price of the property was $13.3 million,
exclusive of closing costs. The Company funded the purchase price with (i) proceeds from its ongoing initial public offering in
the amount of $6.0 million and (ii) a $7.3 million mortgage with People's United Bank.
The property contains 19,960 rentable square feet 100% leased
to three tenants – New York SMAS Limited Partnership (known as Verizon Wireless, a subsidiary of Verizon Communications,
Inc.)(NASDAQ: VZ), which carries an investment grade credit rating as determined by major credit rating agencies; TS of Kings Highway
Inc. (known as Tiger Schulmann's Mixed Martial Arts and Kickboxing); and Interboro Developmental and Consultation Center
Inc.
The following table provides information relating to lease commencement

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or
an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On October 9, 2012, the Company, through an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of its operating partnership, incurred a $7.3 million mortgage loan in connection with its acquisition of the
property. The mortgage loan was advanced by People's United Bank. The mortgage loan bears interest at a rate fixed by an
interest rate swap of 3.295% and requires only monthly interest payments, with the principal balance due on the maturity date in
November 2017. The mortgage loan is nonrecourse and may be accelerated only upon the event of a default. The mortgage loan may
be prepaid, subject to a breakage fee. As the mortgage loan is interest only, it is not subject to amortization, and the principal
outstanding upon maturity will remain $7.3 million.
Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On October 5, 2012, pursuant to
prior approval of the Company's board of directors (the "Board"), the Company appointed William G. Stanley,
currently one of the Company's independent directors and chairman of the audit committee, as the lead independent director
of the Company. The Board has appointed a lead independent director to provide an additional measure of balance, ensure the Board's
independence, and enhance the Board's ability to fulfill its management oversight responsibilities.
The lead independent director chairs meetings or executive sessions
of the independent directors, reviews and comments on the Board's meeting agendas, represents the views of the independent
directors to management, facilitates communication among the independent directors and between management and the independent directors,
acts as a liaison with service providers, officers, attorneys, and other directors generally between meetings, serves as a representative
and speaks on behalf of the Company at external seminars, conferences, in the media and otherwise and otherwise assumes such responsibilities
as may be assigned to him by the Board. Consistent with current practices, the Company will compensate Mr. Stanley for acting as
lead independent director.
The Company's management believes that having a majority
of independent, experienced directors, including a lead independent director with specified responsibilities on behalf of the Board,
provides the right leadership structure for the Company and is best for the Company and its stockholders at this time.
