Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) On October 2, 2012, the reporting person filed a timely Form 4 reporting the acquisition of 253 shares of common stock pursuant to a merger. (Also included in that Form 4 was the disposition of 275 shares of common stock as a gift, which was reported on a voluntary basis.) The report was originally filed under the EDGAR filing codes for W. P. Carey Inc. /MD/. Following the consummation of the merger, all future filings with respect to the acquisition or disposition of shares of common stock of the surviving company will be made using the EDGAR filing codes for W. P. Carey Inc. (formerly known as W. P. Carey & Co. LLC), and this filing is being made to report those previously reported transactions under these filing codes. A concurrent filing is being made to revoke the previously reported transactions using the EDGAR filing codes for W. P. Carey Inc. /MD/ (formerly known as W. P. Carey Inc.).
(2) Received in exchange for 1,090 shares of Corporate Property Associates 15 Incorporated ("CPA:15") common stock in connection with the merger of CPA:15 with and into a subsidiary of the Issuer. The most recent estimated net asset value of CPA:15's common stock was $10.40 per share, and the market value of the Issuer's common stock (based on the closing price of its predecessor's stock on the date of the merger) was $49 per share.
(3) The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of the securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
 
Remarks:
On September 28, 2012, W. P. Carey Inc. became the successor of W. P. Carey & Co. LLC pursuant to a merger.  In the merger, shares of W. P. Carey & Co. LLC were exchanged for W. P. Carey Inc. stock on a one-for-one basis, with cash issued in lieu of any fractional shares.
