Pursuant to the terms of the Private Offering, the Private Offering terminated on September 2, 2010, the effective date of the Company&#8217;s registration statement on Form S-11 for its initial public offering. The Company received aggregate gross offering proceeds, net of certain discounts, of approximately $16.9 million from the sale of Preferred Shares in the Private Offering. As of November 14, 2011, approximately 2.0 million Preferred Shares were outstanding. The conversion of the Preferred Shares into common shares will result in dilution of our common stockholders&#8217; interest in the Company.</font></div>

Other Events.
On November 14, 2011, American Realty Capital New York Recovery REIT, Inc. (the "Company") sent notice to holders of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares") that the Company intends, effective December 15, 2011 (the "Conversion Date"), to exercise its option to convert all the Preferred Shares into common stock in the Company on a one-for-one basis.
In December 2009, the Company commenced a private offering to "accredited investors," as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of up to $50,000,000 in Preferred Shares, subject to an option to increase the offering to up to $100,000,000 in Preferred Shares (the "Private Offering"). Pursuant to the terms of the Private Offering, the Private Offering terminated on September 2, 2010, the effective date of the Company's registration statement on Form S-11 for its initial public offering. The Company received aggregate gross offering proceeds, net of certain discounts, of approximately $16.9 million from the sale of Preferred Shares in the Private Offering. As of November 14, 2011, approximately 2.0 million Preferred Shares were outstanding. The conversion of the Preferred Shares into common shares will result in dilution of our common stockholders' interest in the Company.
