Certain Transactions
William P. Carey, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, is a member of the
Company's Board of Directors. During 1997, the Advisor, a Pennsylvania limited
partnership whose general partner is Carey Fiduciary Advisors, Inc. ("CFA") and
whose limited partners are William P. Carey and Francis J. Carey, was retained
by the Company to provide advisory services in connection with identifying and
analyzing prospective property investments as well as providing day-to-day
management services to the Company. All of the outstanding stock of CFA is owned
by William P. Carey. For the services it provides to the Company, the Advisor
earns an Asset Management Fee and a Performance Fee, each equal to one-twelfth
of .5% of the Average Invested Assets of the Company for the preceding month,
payable monthly. In addition, the payment of the Performance Fee is subordinated
to specified returns to Shareholders. During 1997, the Asset Management and
Performance Fees earned by the Advisor were $746,250 and $746,250 respectively.
The Performance Fee will be paid at a future time if certain performance
criteria are satisfied.
PROPOSAL TO PAY FEES WITH STOCK
The Company has engaged the Advisor to provide advisory services in
connection with identifying and analyzing prospective investments as well as
providing day-to-day management services to the Company. If shareholders receive
a cumulative return of 8%, the Advisor receives an incentive fee of .5% of the
average invested assets of the Company as a partial payment for such services.
To date, the Advisor has earned $746,250 in performance fees which has been
reflected on the Company's balance sheet as a payable to an affiliate but has
not yet been paid. The Advisor also earns an annual management fee of .5% of the
average invested assets of the Company.
The Independent Directors have determined that it would be in the best
interest of the Company and the shareholders to permit the Company to pay the
fees to the Advisor (including fees earned and not yet paid) in either cash or
<PAGE>
common stock of the Company. The use of common stock to pay such fees would
reduce the cash required by the Company to pay expenses, thereby strengthening
the Company's balance sheet. The use of common stock would also increase the
equity ownership of the Advisor and align further the interests of the Advisor
and the shareholders of the Company.
The Independent Directors have approved an amendment to the Advisory
Agreement which would permit the Company to pay all or any portion of the fees
payable to the Advisor in the form of cash or common stock. This amendment would
permit the common stock used to pay such fees to be subject to such terms and
restrictions as may be agreed upon by the Advisor and the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors.
The Advisory Agreement may be amended upon the approval of the Independent
Directors and the Advisor. The Independent Directors have elected to submit this
proposal to the Shareholders for their approval even though such approval is not
required.
The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Company's Common Stock
present at the meeting in person or by proxy is required for the adoption of the
proposal. If the proposal is not approved by the Shareholders, the Independent
Directors will not implement this amendment. Unless otherwise directed, proxies
will be voted "FOR" approval of this proposal.
THE DIRECTORS RECOMMEND A VOTE FOR THE ABOVE PROPOSAL.
Shareholder Proposals
Any proposal which a Shareholder intends to present at the Company's 1999
Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be received by the Company no later than
December 15, 1998 in order to be included in the Company's Proxy Statement and
form of proxy relating to that meeting.
-5-
<PAGE>
Independent Public Accountants
The Company from its inception has engaged the firm of Coopers & Lybrand as
its independent public accountants, and the Board of Directors has selected
Coopers & Lybrand as auditors of 1998.
A representative of Coopers & Lybrand will be available at the Annual
Meeting, will be given the opportunity to make any statement he desires to make
and will be available to respond to questions.
Other Matters
Management does not know of other matters which are likely to be brought
before the meeting. However, in the event that any other matters properly come
before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy are expected
to vote the Shares represented by such proxy on such matters in accordance with
their best judgment.
The cost of preparing, assembling and mailing this Proxy Statement, the
Notice of Meeting and the enclosed proxy is to be borne by the Company.
In addition to the solicitation of proxies by the use of the mails, the
Company may utilize some of the officers and employees of the Advisor (who will
receive no compensation in addition to their regular salaries) to solicit
proxies personally and by telephone. The Company does not currently intend to
retain a solicitation firm to assist in the distribution of proxy statements and
the solicitation of proxies, but if sufficient proxies are not returned to the
Company it may retain an outside firm to assist in proxy solicitation for a fee
estimated not to exceed $7,500 plus out of pocket expenses. The Company may
request banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward
copies of the Proxy Statement to their principals and to request authority for
the execution of proxies, and will reimburse such persons for their expenses in
so doing.
