The Companies

Cole Credit Property Trust II, Inc.

CCPT II, a Maryland corporation, is a publicly owned non-listed REIT organized to acquire and operate commercial real estate primarily consisting of freestanding, single-tenant, retail properties net leased to investment grade and other creditworthy tenants located throughout the United States. As of December 31, 2012, CCPT II owned 752 properties comprising 21.2 million rentable square feet of single and multi-tenant retail and commercial space and the rentable space at these properties was 96% leased.

CCPT II’s core investment strategy is to purchase and own properties leased to a diversified group of companies on a net lease basis. These leases generally require the tenants to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the properties such as maintenance, insurance, taxes, structural repairs and other operating expenses related to the properties.

CCPT II was organized as a Maryland corporation on September 29, 2004. As of March 5, 2013, CCPT II had raised aggregate gross proceeds of $2.3 billion from the public offering of its shares through both primary offerings and its distribution reinvestment plan.

Substantially all of CCPT II’s business is conducted through Cole Operating Partnership II, LP, referred to herein as the CCPT II Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership. CCPT II is the sole general partner of and owns an approximate 99.99% partnership interest in the CCPT II Partnership. Cole REIT Advisors II, LLC serves as the Advisor for CCPT II. The Advisor is the sole limited partner and owner of an insignificant noncontrolling partnership interest of less than 0.01% of the CCPT II Partnership.

CCPT II’s principal executive offices are located at 2325 East Camelback Road, Suite 1100, Phoenix, Arizona 85016 and its telephone number is (602) 778-8700. CCPT II does not have any employees.

Spirit, a Maryland corporation, is a self-administered and self-managed REIT organized to acquire and operate single-tenant, operationally essential real estate throughout the United States that is leased on a long-term, triple-net basis primarily to tenants engaged in retail, service and distribution industries. As of December 31, 2012, Spirit owned 1,122 properties of primarily single tenant retail and commercial space which were approximately 98.8% occupied.

Single-tenant, operationally essential real estate consists of properties that are generally free-standing, commercial real estate facilities where Spirit’s tenants conduct retail, distribution, or service activities that are essential to the generation of their sales and profits. Under a triple-net lease the tenant is typically responsible for all improvements and is contractually obligated to pay all property operating expenses, such as insurance premiums, real estate taxes, and repair and maintenance costs. In support of its primary business of owning and leasing real estate, Spirit has also strategically originated or acquired long-term, commercial mortgage and equipment loans. Spirit views its operations as one segment consisting of triple-net leases.

Spirit was organized as a Maryland corporation on August 14, 2003. Spirit became a public company in December 2004 and was subsequently taken private in August 2007 by a consortium of private investors in a merger. The vast majority of the owned properties in Spirit’s portfolio as of December 31, 2012 were acquired prior to its privatization.

On September 25, 2012, Spirit completed an initial public offering, referred to herein as the Spirit IPO, issuing a total of 29.0 million shares, resulting in gross offering proceeds to Spirit of $435 million. Additionally, on October 1, 2012, Spirit issued 4.35 million additional shares in connection with the exercise by the underwriters in the Spirit IPO of their over-allotment options in full, resulting in gross offering proceeds to Spirit of $65.25 million.

Spirit’s operations are carried out through its operating partnership, Spirit Realty, L.P., referred to herein as the Spirit Partnership, which is a Delaware limited partnership. Spirit General OP Holdings, LLC, one of Spirit’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, is the sole general partner and owns 1.0% of the Spirit Partnership. Spirit is the sole limited partner and owns the remaining 99.0% of the Spirit Partnership.

Spirit’s common stock is listed on the NYSE, and trades under the symbol “SRC.”

Spirit’s principal executive offices are located at 16767 N. Perimeter Drive, Suite 210, Scottsdale, Arizona 85260 and its telephone number is (480) 606-0820. Spirit had 38 employees as of December 31, 2012.

The Combined Corporation

The Combined Corporation will be named “Spirit Realty Capital, Inc.” and will be a Maryland corporation that is self-administered and self-managed. The Combined Corporation will own approximately 1,874 properties, excluding properties securing its mortgage loans, in 48 states. The Combined Corporation is expected to be one of the largest publicly traded triple-net-lease REIT in the United States with a pro forma enterprise value of approximately $7.1 billion as of January 18, 2013.

The operations of the Combined Corporation will be carried out through the Spirit Partnership.

The Merger

The Merger Agreement

CCPT II, the CCPT II Partnership, Spirit and the Spirit Partnership have entered into the merger agreement attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference. CCPT II and Spirit encourage you to carefully read the merger agreement in its entirety because it is the principal document governing the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

The Merger

Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger, Spirit will merge with and into CCPT II, with CCPT II surviving the merger, which were refer to as the Combined Corporation. The Combined Corporation will be named “Spirit Realty Capital, Inc.” The shares of common stock of the Combined Corporation are expected to be listed and traded on the NYSE under the symbol “SRC.” The executive officers of Spirit immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will continue as the executive officers of the Combined Corporation following the effective time of the merger.

Upon the completion of the merger, the stockholders of CCPT II and the former stockholders of Spirit will own approximately 56% and 44%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Combined Corporation.

The Merger Consideration

In the merger, each share of Spirit common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior the effective time of the merger will be converted into the right to receive 1.9048 shares of CCPT II common stock, which equates to an inverse exchange ratio of 0.525 shares of Spirit common stock for one share of CCPT II common stock. Based on Spirit’s closing price of $17.82 per share on January 18, 2013, the last trading day before the announcement of the merger, the exchange ratio implied a value of $9.36 per share of CCPT II common stock. The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted for changes in the market value of Spirit common stock or the value of CCPT II common stock. Because of this, the merger consideration to Spirit stockholders (and the implied value of a share of CCPT II common stock) will fluctuate between now and the completion of the merger. Based on the closing price of Spirit common stock on the NYSE of $19.98 on March 5, 2013, the latest practicable date before the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the exchange ratio implied a value of $10.49 per share of CCPT II common stock.

The market price of Spirit common stock may fluctuate, and as a result, the implied value of CCPT II common stock may fluctuate. You are urged to obtain current market quotations of Spirit common stock. You are cautioned that the trading price of the common stock of the Combined Corporation after the merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the trading price of Spirit common stock, and therefore, the historical trading price of Spirit may not be indicative of the trading price of the Combined Corporation. See the risks related to the merger and the related transactions described under the section “Risk Factors—Risk Factors Relating to the Merger” beginning on page 22.

The Partnership Merger

The merger agreement also provides for the merger of the CCPT II Partnership with the Spirit Partnership, with the Spirit Partnership continuing as the surviving partnership. As a result of the partnership merger, each outstanding partnership unit in the CCPT II Partnership held by the Advisor (as the sole limited partner) will be converted into one validly issued share of common stock of the Combined Corporation, and each partnership unit of the CCPT Partnership held by CCPT II will automatically be retired and cease to exist; each outstanding unit in the Spirit Partnership will remain outstanding; and the general partner interest of the Spirit Partnership will constitute the only general partner interests in the surviving partnership.

Under the terms of the Advisory Matters Agreement, the Advisor Parties have waived (1) any fees due upon the termination of the Existing Agreements, including any fees due upon listing of the Combined Corporation common stock on the NYSE, (2) any performance fees due upon the consummation of the merger, and (3) any other fees that would be payable under the Existing Agreements with respect to the merger (including any equity or debt financing transaction that occurs in connection with the consummation of the merger) and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Other than the waived fees as described in the preceding sentence, the Advisor Parties will continue to be paid the asset management, property management and other fees and expense reimbursements payable pursuant to the Existing Agreements, calculated in a manner consistent with past practice, for services rendered during the Interim Period.

Interests of CCPT II’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger

In considering the recommendation of the CCPT II Board to approve the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the amendment and restatement of the CCPT II charter as part of the merger, the CCPT II stockholders should be aware that in connection with the merger, the Advisor, which

is indirectly wholly-owned by Christopher H. Cole, the chairman, president and chief executive officer of CCPT II, is entitled to certain fees pursuant the Advisory Agreement during the Interim Period as described under the section entitled “Advisory and Property Management Matters Agreement.” Under the terms of the Advisory Matters Agreement, except as described in the following sentence, the Advisor Parties will continue to be paid the asset management, property management and other fees payable pursuant to the Existing Agreements, calculated in a manner consistent with past practice, for services rendered during the Interim Period. The Advisor Parties have, however, waived (1) any fees due upon the termination of the Existing Agreements, including any fees due upon listing of the Combined Corporation common stock on the NYSE, (2) any performance fees due upon the consummation of the merger, and (3) any other fees that would be payable under the Existing Agreements with respect to the merger (including any equity or debt financing transaction that occurs in connection with the consummation of the merger) and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. In addition to the fees described above, following the closing of the merger, the Advisor Parties may provide certain services to the Combined Corporation and the Advisor Parties will be entitled to receive compensation for such services in an amount to be mutually agreed to by the Combined Corporation and the Advisor Parties. Christopher H. Cole and D. Kirk McAllaster, Jr., the executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer of CCPT II, are also officers of the Advisor. In such capacities, Messrs. Cole and McAllaster have certain interests in the merger that may be different from the interests of CCPT II stockholders generally. These interests may create potential conflicts of interest. The CCPT II Board and the CCPT II Special Committee were aware of those interests and considered them, among other matters, in reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Interests of Spirit’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger

In considering the recommendation of the Spirit Board to approve the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, Spirit stockholders should be aware that Spirit’s directors and executive officers have certain interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Spirit stockholders generally. These interests include those discussed below.

Under the merger agreement, the Combined Corporation will assume the Spirit Incentive Award Plan and the number and kind of shares available for issuance under the Spirit Incentive Award Plan will be converted into shares of the Combined Corporation common stock in accordance with the provisions of the Spirit Incentive Award Plan. Furthermore, under the merger agreement, immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, each then-outstanding share of Spirit restricted stock will be converted into the right to receive shares of the Combined Corporation common stock that are subject to the same vesting conditions and other terms and conditions as are applicable to the Spirit Restricted Stock Awards immediately prior to the consummation of the merger. As of March 5, 2013, Spirit’s directors and executive officers held 1,010,295 shares of Spirit restricted stock pursuant to the Spirit Incentive Award Plan and restricted stock award notices and agreements.

Absent the waiver agreements (which are described below), some of the directors and executive officers of Spirit would have been entitled to certain contractual “change of control” payments, benefits and incentive awards in connection with the merger, as described below.

Each Spirit executive is party to an employment agreement with Spirit that provides for severance payments and benefits upon a qualifying termination of employment without “cause” or for “good reason” (each, as defined in the applicable employment agreement), and, pursuant to the terms of the applicable employment agreements, certain Spirit executives are entitled to accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards upon such qualifying termination. The employment agreements for each of Messrs. Nolan, Mavoides and Bender also provide that if an excise tax is imposed as a result of any compensation or benefits provided to the Spirit executive in connection with a “change of control” (as defined in the applicable employment agreement), then Spirit will gross-up the executive to cover the excise tax, and any taxes resulting from such gross-up, imposed under the

Code. Additionally, each of Messrs. Nolan, Mavoides and Bender is party to a restricted stock award agreement that provides for accelerated vesting of the award upon a “change in control” (as defined in the applicable award agreement).

On January 22, 2013, Spirit entered into waiver agreements with each of the Spirit executives, which provide that (i) the merger will not constitute a “change in control” for purposes of the Spirit executive’s employment agreement and related restricted stock agreement(s) and (ii) any change in position that occurs in connection with the merger will not constitute “good reason” or a termination without “cause” for purposes of the Spirit executive’s employment agreement and related restricted stock agreement(s). In addition, under the waiver agreements executed by Messrs. Nolan, Mavoides and Bender, each executive waived his entitlement to a tax gross-up payment to cover any excise taxes imposed as a result of any payments made to them in connection with the merger. Therefore, none of Spirit’s executive officers is party to an agreement with Spirit, or participates in any Spirit plan, program or arrangement, that provides for payments or benefits based on or that otherwise relate to the consummation of the merger.

Listing of Shares of the Combined Corporation Common Stock; Delisting and Deregistration of Shares of Spirit Common Stock

CCPT II will prepare and file with the NYSE a listing application pursuant to which shares of CCPT II common stock, including the shares to be issued to Spirit stockholders in connection with the merger, will be listed on the NYSE. Each of CCPT II and Spirit will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of CCPT II common stock to be approved for listing on the NYSE and to be traded under Spirit’s existing trading symbol “SRC.” Approval of the listing on the NYSE of the shares of the Combined Corporation common stock, subject to official notice of issuance, is a condition to each party’s obligation to complete the merger.

If the merger is completed, shares of Spirit common stock will be delisted from the NYSE and deregistered under the Exchange Act.

No Stockholder Appraisal Rights in the Merger

Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, neither CCPT II stockholders nor Spirit stockholders are entitled to exercise appraisal rights in connection with the merger. See “No Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 270.

Conditions to Completion of the Merger

A number of conditions must be satisfied or waived, where legally permissible, before the merger can be consummated. These include, among others:

Neither CCPT II nor Spirit can give any assurance as to when or if all of the conditions to the consummation of the merger will be satisfied or waived or that the merger will occur.

For more information regarding the conditions to the consummation of the merger and a complete list of such conditions, see “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Completion of the Merger” beginning on page 245.

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger

The merger may be subject to the regulatory requirements of municipal, state and federal, domestic or foreign, governmental agencies and authorities. Nevertheless, neither CCPT II nor Spirit is aware of any regulatory approvals that are expected to prevent the consummation of the merger. See “The Merger—Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger” beginning on page 215.

No Solicitation and Change in Recommendation

Under the merger agreement, each of CCPT II and Spirit has agreed not to, and to cause its subsidiaries not to (and not authorize and use reasonable best efforts to cause its officers, directors, managers and other representatives not to), directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or facilitate any inquiry, offer or request that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a competing acquisition proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or that reasonably could be expected to result in a competing acquisition proposal, (iii) furnish to any person (other than Spirit or CCPT II) any non-public information in connection with, or knowingly facilitates in any way any effort by any person in furtherance of, a competing acquisition proposal, (iv) waive, terminate, modify, fail to enforce or release any person other than Spirit and its affiliates or CCPT II and its affiliates from any provisions of or grant any permission, waiver or request under any “standstill,” confidentiality or similar agreement or obligations, (v) approve or recommend a competing acquisition proposal, or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, share purchase agreement, asset purchase agreement, share exchange agreement, option agreement or other similar definitive agreement related to a competing acquisition proposal, or (vi) propose or agree to do any of the foregoing.

However, prior to the approval of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement by their respective stockholders, each of CCPT II and Spirit may, under certain specified circumstances, engage in discussions or negotiations with and provide nonpublic information regarding itself to a third party making an unsolicited, bona fide written competing acquisition proposal. Under the merger agreement, Spirit is required to notify CCPT II promptly, and CCPT II is required to notify Spirit promptly, if it receives any competing acquisition proposal or inquiry or any request for nonpublic information in connection with a competing acquisition proposal.

Before the approval of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement by their respective stockholders, each of the CCPT II Board and the Spirit Board may, under certain specified circumstances, withdraw its recommendation to its stockholders with respect to the merger if it determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent

with the directors’ duties under applicable law. For more information regarding the limitations on CCPT II, the CCPT II Board, Spirit and the Spirit Board to consider other acquisition proposals, see “The Merger Agreement—Covenants and Agreements—No Solicitation of Transactions by the Spirit Parties” beginning on page 254 and “The Merger Agreement—Covenants and Agreements—No Solicitation of Transactions by the CCPT II Parties” beginning on page 251.

Termination of the Merger Agreement

CCPT II and Spirit may mutually agree to terminate the merger agreement before completing the merger, even after approval of the CCPT II stockholders or approval of the Spirit stockholders.

In addition, either CCPT II or Spirit (so long as they are not at fault) may decide to terminate the merger agreement if:

CCPT II may also decide to terminate the merger agreement if:

Spirit has reciprocal termination rights with respect to the merger agreement as CCPT II described above.

For more information regarding the rights of CCPT II and Spirit to terminate the merger agreement, see “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement” beginning on page 260.

Termination Fee and Expenses

Generally, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement will be paid by the party incurring those fees and expenses. However, if the merger agreement is terminated because either party fails to obtain the approval of its stockholders, such party will be required to pay the other party reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred up to a maximum of $10 million. In certain other circumstances, either CCPT II or Spirit may be obligated to pay the other a termination fee of $55 million plus reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred up to a maximum of $10 million.

For more information regarding the termination fee and expense reimbursement, see “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement—Termination Fee and Expenses Payable by CCPT II to Spirit” beginning on page 262 and “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Agreement—Termination Fee and Expenses Payable by Spirit to CCPT II” beginning on page 262.

Financing Related to the Merger

The merger is not conditioned upon either Spirit or CCPT II having received any financing at or prior to the effective time of the merger. However, pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, CCPT II has agreed to assist Spirit in connection with any debt financing as Spirit may reasonably request, including participating in meetings and presentations relating to such debt financing and taking actions reasonably requested by Spirit for the discharge and satisfaction of CCPT II’s existing indebtedness.

In connection with the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, Spirit Partnership has entered into a commitment letter with Barclays Bank, Deutsche Bank and MIHI, pursuant to which Barclays Bank, Deutsche Bank and MIHI have committed to provide, subject to the conditions set forth in the commitment letter, a $575 million secured term loan facility and a $50 million senior secured revolving credit facility, referred to herein as the financing commitments. Subject to certain conditions, the amount of the term loan commitment will be reduced by the amount of any CMBS and ABS financing obtained by the Combined Corporation in connection with the merger.

If drawn upon, the proceeds of the financing commitments will be used by the Combined Corporation to (i) refinance approximately $450 million of the existing debt of CCPT II and its subsidiaries and related fees, commissions and expenses, (ii) pay various fees and expenses incurred in connection with the merger, and (iii) finance the working capital requirements of the Combined Corporation after the consummation of the merger. The Spirit Partnership is under no obligation to draw upon the financing commitments from Barclays Bank, Deutsche Bank and MIHI. The Spirit Partnership is currently exploring the availability of alternative debt financing.

For more information regarding the financing related to the merger, see “The Merger Agreement—Financing Related to the Merger” beginning on page 263.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

It is expected that the merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and it is a condition to the completion of the merger that CCPT II and Spirit receive written opinions from their respective counsel to the effect that the merger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Assuming the merger qualifies as a reorganization, U.S. holders of Spirit common stock generally will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of their Spirit common stock for CCPT II common stock pursuant to the merger, except with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares of CCPT II common stock.

For further discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, see “The Merger—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” beginning on page 215.

Holders of Spirit common stock should consult their tax advisors to determine the tax consequences to them (including the application and effect of any state, local or non-U.S. income and other tax laws) of the merger.

Accounting Treatment of the Merger

It is anticipated that the merger will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, referred to herein as GAAP, with Spirit treated as the accounting acquiror. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets (including identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities (including executory contracts and other commitments) of CCPT II will be recorded at their respective fair values at the date of merger and added to those of Spirit. Any excess of purchase price over the net amount of the fair values will be recorded as goodwill. Consolidated financial statements of the Combined Corporation issued after the merger would reflect these fair value adjustments and the combined results of operations from the date of the merger and would not be retroactively restated.

Comparison of Rights of Stockholders of CCPT II and Stockholders of Spirit

CCPT II’s charter and bylaws contain provisions that are different from Spirit’s charter and bylaws as currently in effect. At the effective time of the merger, and as part of the merger in the case of the charter, the charter and bylaws of CCPT II will be amended and restated to be substantially identical to the existing charter and bylaws of Spirit as in effective immediately prior to the effective time of the merger.

For a summary of certain differences between the rights of CCPT II stockholders and Spirit stockholders, see “Comparison of Rights of Stockholders of CCPT II and Stockholders of Spirit Pre-Merger and Rights of Stockholders of the Combined Corporation Post-Merger” beginning on page 277.

Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information

The following tables set forth selected unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information. The pro forma consolidated financial information combines the historical financial statements of CCPT II and Spirit after giving effect to the merger using the acquisition method of accounting and preliminary estimates, assumptions and pro forma adjustments as described below and in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with CCPT II’s historical consolidated financial statements and Spirit’s historical consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, which are included herein. The selected unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information and accompanying notes included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus beginning on page F-1.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the results that would actually have occurred if the transactions described above had occurred as presented in such statements or that may be obtained in the future. In addition, future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in such statements.

Unaudited Comparative Per Share Information

The following tables set forth for the year ended December 31, 2012, selected per share information for Spirit common stock on a historical and pro forma combined basis and for CCPT II common stock on a historical and pro forma equivalent basis, each on an unaudited basis after giving effect to the merger using the acquisition method of accounting, with Spirit treated as the accounting acquiror. The data is derived from and should be read in conjunction with the Spirit and CCPT II audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information and related notes, which are included elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The pro forma consolidated CCPT II equivalent information shows the effect of the merger from the perspective of an owner of CCPT II common stock. As this is a reverse acquisition, the CCPT II pro forma equivalent per common share amounts were calculated by multiplying the Spirit pro forma combined per share amounts by the inverse exchange ratio of 0.525.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated per share data is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the transaction had been consummated at the beginning of the earliest period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial position. The pro forma adjustments are estimates based upon information and assumptions available at the time of the filing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The pro forma income from continuing operations per share includes the combined income (loss) from continuing operations of Spirit and CCPT II on a pro forma basis as if the transactions were consummated on January 1, 2012.

At the close of business on [—], 2013, the record date for CCPT II’s annual meeting, there were approximately [—] holders of record of CCPT II common stock. The following table sets forth the distributions declared on CCPT II common stock for the 2012, 2011 and 2010 fiscal years, which correspond to CCPT II’s respective quarterly fiscal periods for financial reporting purposes.

Spirit’s Market Price and Dividend Data

Spirit’s common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “SRC.” This table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the range of high and low sales prices for Spirit’s common stock as reported on the NYSE. On January 18, 2013, the last full trading day prior to the public announcement of the proposed merger, the closing price of Spirit common stock was $17.82 per share. You should obtain a current stock price quotation for Spirit common stock.

If the Combined Corporation continues to pay quarterly cash dividends at the rate of $0.1641 per share, after giving effect to the inverse exchange ratio of 0.525, this dividend, from the perspective of a holder of CCPT II common stock, would be approximately 4% more than CCPT II’s most recent quarterly dividend of $0.1571 per share.

Recent Closing Prices

The following table sets forth the closing per share sales prices of Spirit’s common stock as reported on the NYSE on January 18, 2013, the last full trading day before the public announcement of the execution of the merger agreement by CCPT II and Spirit, and on March 5, 2013, the latest practicable trading day before the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus:

The market price of Spirit common stock will fluctuate between the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the effective time of the merger. Because the number of shares of CCPT II common stock to be issued in connection with the merger for each share of Spirit common stock is fixed in the merger agreement, the value of CCPT II common stock to be received by Spirit stockholders at the effective time of the merger may vary significantly.

Following the effective time of the merger, the Combined Corporation common stock is expected to be listed on the NYSE and the Spirit common stock will be delisted, however, until the effective time of the merger, the Spirit common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE.
