Dear CPA®:18 – Global Stockholder,
On July 26, 2022,
Corporate Property Associates 18 – Global (“CPA®:18 – Global”) will hold a Special Meeting of Stockholders
to allow stockholders to vote on the proposed merger with W. P. Carey Inc. (“W. P. Carey”). Expected benefits of the proposed
merger include: liquidity for CPA®:18 – Global stockholders, the opportunity to continue an investment
in a similar company, and the potential upside for the larger and more diversified combined company.
Your vote for this
meeting is extremely important, regardless of the number of shares you own. If you do not vote, the effect will be the same as voting
AGAINST the merger, as described in proxy materials. The CPA®:18 – Global Board of Directors recommends voting FOR
the approval of the merger. Our ability to close the merger and deliver the expected benefits described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
is dependent on stockholder approval. Please vote FOR the approval of the merger by phone at 1-800-690-6903, on the internet at
www.proxyvote.com, or return your proxy card by mail today.
I encourage you to review the proxy materials carefully
and vote your shares using one of the methods described below. Your prompt response will help us meet stockholder approval requirements
before the meeting, thereby reducing the risk of postponement. If you have any questions about the proposed merger, or if you need assistance
with voting, please contact Broadridge Investor Communications Solutions, Inc. at 1-877-777-5613.
With best regards,
Jason E. Fox
Chief Executive Officer

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking
Statements
Certain of the matters discussed in this communication constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include, among other things,
statements regarding intent, belief or expectations of CPA®:18 – Global and generally are identified by the words “believe,”
“project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,”
“plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will
continue,” “will likely result,” “assume,” “outlook,” “seek,” “forecast,”
and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the benefits of the
proposed merger, annualized dividends, funds from operations coverage, integration plans and expected synergies, the expected benefits
of the proposed merger, anticipated future financial and operating performance and results, including estimates of growth, and the expected
timing of completion of the proposed merger.
These statements are based on current expectations. It is important to note that actual
results could be materially different from those projected in such forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward- looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable risks or
uncertainties, like the risks related to the effects of pandemics and global outbreaks of contagious diseases (such as the current COVID-19
pandemic) or the fear of such outbreaks, could also have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results
of operations, and prospects. You should exercise caution in relying on forward-looking statements as they involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may materially affect our future results, performance, achievements, or transactions. Information
on some of these factors are contained in CPA®:18 – Global’s and W. P. Carey’s filings with the SEC and are

associated with the proposed merger, are more fully discussed in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus that is included in the Registration
Statement on Form S-4 filed by W. P. Carey with the SEC in connection with the proposed merger. In light of these risks, uncertainties,
assumptions and factors, the forward-looking events discussed in this communication may not occur. Moreover, because we operate in a
very competitive and rapidly changing environment, new risks are likely to emerge from time to time. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward- looking statements as a prediction of future results, which speak only as of the date of this communication,
unless noted otherwise. Except as required under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, CPA®:18
– Global does not undertake to revise or update any forward-looking statements.
