We understand that we may continue to report AFFO on an aggregate basis and may report, in close proximity, the number of shares outstanding as of an applicable date.

statement on Form S-4 (the “Form S-4”) filed by Global Net Lease, Inc. (“GNL”) and American Realty Capital
Global Trust II, Inc. (“Global II,” and together with GNL, the “Companies”). References to page numbers

Proposed change to “Potential Conflicts”
We advise the Staff that the disclosure on pages 17 and 110
has been revised as follows:
In connection with the merger agreement, 90 Global II OP
Units and 8,888 shares of Global II common stock held by the Global II Advisor and its affiliates will
be exchanged for an aggregate of 204 20,380 shares
of GNL common stock and 125,020 Class B Units held by the Global II Advisor and its other service providers will vest and will
be exchanged for 283,795 shares of GNL common stock. In addition, 6,932 unvested restricted shares of common stock held by independent
directors of Global II will vest and will be exchanged for 15,735 shares of GNL common stock.
Response to reorganization opinion comment
In response to the Staff’s verbal comment, the issuer
confirms that the conditions of Staff Legal Bulletin 19 for not filing the opinion of counsel regarding the treatment of the merger
as a tax-free reorganization prior to effectiveness are met and that the final opinion of counsel regarding the treatment of the
merger as a tax-free reorganization will be filed in a post-effective amendment by the closing date of the merger.

File No. 333-213691
Dear Mr. Garrison:
We are transmitting for filing the response of Global Net
Lease, Inc. (“GNL”) to the comments of the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained in your letter to me dated October 17, 2016 (the “October
17th Letter”) regarding the joint proxy statement/registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Form
S-4”) filed by GNL and American Realty Capital Global Trust II, Inc. (“Global II,” and together with GNL,
the “Companies”). For convenience of reference, the Staff comments contained in the October 17th
Letter are reprinted below in bold type and are followed by the corresponding response of GNL. On October 21, 2016, GNL filed
via EDGAR Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 (the “Amendment”). The Amendment reflects the Companies’
responses to the October 17th Letter as well as certain revised and supplemental information. For your
convenience, a marked copy of the Amendment indicating changes against the Form S-4 is being provided to the Staff via
email.
The headings and numbered paragraphs below correspond to the headings
and numbered paragraphs of the October 17th Letter. References to page numbers (other than in headings taken from the
October 17th Letter) are to pages of the Form S-4.
General
1. We note the disclosure under the caption “Potential Conflicts” on page 110. We also note that cash will be paid
in lieu of fractional shares. Please provide your analysis regarding the applicability of Rule 13e-3 to the merger transaction
given that the exception in Rule 13e-3(g)(2) requires that security holders are offered or receive only an equity security. In
your response, please address: (i) the number of Global II security holders who, giving effect to the merger consideration, would
be subject to cash disposition of fractional interests; (ii) the estimated aggregate amount of cash payable to dispose of fractional
interests; and (iii) the number of Global II security holders, if any, who would be effectively cashed out after giving effect
to the cash disposition of fractional interests. Also, revise your disclosure to describe how the amount of cash to be paid will
be calculated and whether or not there is a maximum amount of cash that will be paid in lieu of fractional shares.

Office of Real Estate & Commodities
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

As requested by the staff, we have revised the disclosure on page
1 to state that the amount of cash to be paid for fractional interests will equal the product of (i) the fractional part of a share
of GNL common stock due to a Global II security holder, multiplied by (ii) the per share closing price of the GNL common stock
on the closing date of the merger transaction.
As an illustrative example, please assume that a Global II security
holder owns one share of Global II common stock and the closing price of GNL common stock on the closing date is equal to $7.75
per share, which was the closing price on October 19, 2016. Based on the exchange ratio of 2.27, the security holder will receive
two shares of GNL common stock and $2.09 in cash. The amount of cash is equal to the product of (i) the fractional interest of
0.27, multiplied by (ii) the per share price of $7.75.
For the reasons set forth below, we do not believe that Rule 13e-3
applies to the merger transaction between GNL and Global II.
The Exception in Rule 13e-3(g)(2) Should Apply to the Merger
Transaction
Below is the information requested by the staff with respect to
the cash payment for fractional shares:
· At October 19 2016 there were approximately 6,322 Global II security holders. We expect that a substantial majority, and even
perhaps all, of these holders may be subject to cash disposition of fractional interests. The exact number of holders depends on
the number of Global II shares a holder owns and, after giving effect to the exchange ratio of 2.27, the number of GNL shares such
holder is due to receive.
· Based on (i) the closing price of GNL common stock of $7.75 per share on October 19, 2016 and (ii) 12,512,087 shares
of outstanding Global II common stock on October 19, 2016, the
estimated
maximum
aggregate
amount of
cash payable
to dispose
of fractional
interests is
$17,588. GNL has not imposed a cap on the amount of cash that will be paid in lieu of fractional shares, and the
aforementioned formula reflects the amount of cash that would be paid, but the amount of cash is not likely to be
materially in
excess of this estimate.
· No Global II security holders will be effectively cashed out after giving effect to the cash disposition of fractional interests
because every Global II security holder holds at least one share of Global II common stock and, based on an exchange ratio of 2.27,
will receive at least two shares of GNL common stock.
As indicated by the numbers above, the cash that will be paid to
dispose of fractional interests represents a de minimis amount of the total merger consideration valued at approximately
$222.3 million.1 Except for cash payments for fractional
interests, all of the merger consideration will consist of GNL common stock, a class of security that satisfies the conditions
in Rule 13e-3(g)(2)(i)-(iii).
In adopting Rule 13e-3, the Commission stated that
transactions covered by the exception in paragraph (g)(2) are “outside the purpose of Rule 13e-3 since all holders of
that class of security are on an equal footing and are permitted to maintain an equivalent or enhanced equity
interest.”2 We do not believe that the
presence of a de minimis amount of cash paid for fractional interests contravenes this purpose. All Global II security
holders will continue to be security holders of GNL. GNL common stock represents at least an equivalent equity interest, and
likely an enhanced equity interest to these security holders because it is listed on a national securities exchange, whereas
Global II common stock is not. Global II security holders who are due fractional interests will receive a cash amount equal
to the closing market price of GNL common stock on the closing date for their fractional interests, which is clearly an
equivalent value to the fractional interests they are due. Both affiliated and unaffiliated Global II security holders
will receive cash for their fractional interests, so there is no disparate treatment between the two groups. In viewing the
transaction in its totality, Global II security holders are afforded equal treatment both among themselves and in their
receipt of GNL common stock, which is at least an equivalent equity interest as Global II common stock. The payment of a de
minimis amount of cash for fractional interest to Global II security holders, when all Global II security holders will
continue as GNL security holders , does not undermine the purposes behind the exemption. The fractional interests could have
been determined by eliminating the fractional interests or rounding the fractional interest up to the nearest whole number,
and payment of cash for the fractional interest should not change the result.
1
Based on (i) the closing price of GNL common stock of $7.75 per share on October 19, 2016 and (ii) 12,512,087 shares of outstanding
Global II common stock on October 19,2016.

The staff has previously granted no-action relief for reliance on
Rule 13e-3(g)(2) on facts involving the payment of cash in lieu fractional shares to the target’s security holders.3
In each of the cited no-action letters, the incoming request referenced the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares to the
target’s security holders. While the discussion relating to the availability of the exception did not focus on the presence
of this cash payment, the staff did grant relief from Rule 13e-3 on the basis of the exception contained in paragraph (g)(2).
No Affiliates of Global II are Engaged in the Merger Transaction
For Rule 13e-3 to apply to the merger transaction, an affiliate
of Global II must be engaged in the merger transaction. For the reasons set forth below, we do not believe that this requirement
is satisfied.
GNL and Global II are not affiliates
A person is an affiliate of Global II if it directly or indirectly
controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Global II. Control means direct or indirect possession of the power
to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person. GNL does not directly or indirectly own any voting
securities of Global II, and vice versa. Additionally, GNL does not directly or indirectly have any contractual arrangements that
permit it to direct the management and policies of Global II, and vice versa. As a result, GNL neither controls nor is controlled
by Global II. Accordingly, the only way that GNL and Global II can be affiliates is if they are deemed to be under common control.
As the staff notes, GNL and Global II share several relationships,
which are disclosed in “Potential Conflicts” on pages 18 and 111. While we believe that these relationships may be
material information for investors in making an investment decision and have therefore disclosed them, we do not believe that these
relationships, individually or in the aggregate, cause GNL and Global II to be under common control.
GNL has a board of directors consisting of four people. Three of
these directors, constituting a majority, are independent pursuant to the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. Similarly,
Global II has a board of directors consisting of three people, and a majority of the board (or two directors) are independent pursuant
to the criteria set forth in Global II’s charter. The board of each of GNL and Global II has ultimate control over each entity,
including the ability to elect and remove officers for each entity. GNL and Global II do not have any directors in common. Furthermore,
the independent directors of GNL have no relationships that enable them to exert control over Global II, and vice versa. Accordingly,
GNL and Global II are not under common control due to the fact that no person or governance body has the direct or indirect power
to cause the direction of the management and policies of both entities. Rather, GNL and Global II operate independently of each
other under the ultimate supervision of their respective boards.

As disclosed in “Potential Conflicts,” Messrs. Bowman
and Salvemini serve as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively to each of GNL and Global II. We do not
believe that the presence of overlapping officers causes GNL and Global II to be under common control. Each of Messrs. Bowman and
Salvemini is an employee of the respective advisor to GNL and Global II, or its affiliate, and each respective board GNL or Global
II, as the case may be, can terminate either person’s position as an officer at any time. Additionally, decisions by Messrs.
Bowman and Salvemini that would affect the management and policies of both GNL and Global II are subject to board oversight and
approval. Furthermore, each of Messrs. Bowman and Salvemini beneficially owns less than one percent of each of GNL and Global II.
Accordingly, Messrs. Bowman and Salvemini do not cause GNL and Global II to be under common control because they cannot, individually
or together, direct the management and policies of both GNL and Global II through their positions (in light of the board oversight)
or share ownership.
Also as disclosed in “Potential Conflicts,” the advisor
to each of GNL and Global II is ultimately controlled by AR Global, the sponsor to GNL and Global II. We do not believe that having
the same sponsor or advisors controlled by the same sponsor causes GNL and Global II to be under common control for two reasons.
First, AR Global beneficially owns less than one percent of each of GNL and Global II. This low percentage supports the conclusion
that AR Global cannot direct the management and policies of both entities through its share ownership. Second, while an AR Global-affiliated
advisor manages the day-to-day operations of each of GNL and Global II, each advisor’s actions are subject to the supervision
and direction of each entity’s board This board oversight supports the conclusion that AR Global cannot direct the management
and policies of both entities through its indirect contractual arrangements.
While one director of the board of each of GNL and Global II is
an affiliate of AR Global, we do not believe that the presence of this one director on each board changes the foregoing conclusion
that GNL and Global II are not under common control. The one AR Global-affiliated director is the lone member of each board who
is not independent and he cannot effect board action by himself.
Messrs. Bowman and Salvemini are not affiliates engaged in the
merger transaction
As the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Global
II, Messrs. Bowman and Salvemini, respectively, may be deemed affiliates of Global II. The merger transaction was negotiated by
special committees of independent directors of each of GNL and Global II and not by the executive

Gordon Senior Assistant Chief Accountant Office of Real Estate & Commodities U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Global Net Lease, Inc. (the “Company”) Form 8-K dated August 8, 2016 Filed: August 8, 2016 File No. 001-37390 Dear Mr. Gordon: Set forth below are the Company’s responses to the comments of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained in your letter to Timothy Salvemini of the Company, dated September 28, 2016 (the “September 28th Letter”). For convenience of reference, the Staff comments contained in the September 28th Letter are reprinted below in bold type and are followed by the corresponding response of the Company. The headings and numbered paragraphs below correspond to the headings and numbered paragraphs of the letter. References to page numbers (other than in headings taken from the September 28th Letter) are to pages of Exhibit 99.1. Form 8-K Filed on August 8, 2016 Exhibit 99.1 1. Please explain to us the rationale for adjusting for unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions in arriving at AFFO. The Company invests in real estate properties in foreign countries and as a result, exposes the rental income, property related expenses and interest expense associated with these properties to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company utilizes foreign currency derivatives, including currency forward contracts and cross currency swap agreements, to manage this exposure. These derivative contracts are not designated as hedges under qualifying hedge relationships, and as a result, changes in the fair value relating to future contractual settlements along with current contractual settlements relating to current period operations are recorded directly to net income (loss). Mr. Daniel L. Gordon Senior Assistant Chief Accountant October 7, 2016 Page 2 The Company adjusts AFFO to eliminate the impact of the unrealized changes in fair value of these foreign currency derivative contracts as the unrealized mark to market adjustment on the unsettled derivative contracts relates to currency exposure on future period operations that may or may not be ultimately realized in future periods. Accordingly, we believe that the unrealized mark to market adjustment on such contracts are not a measure of our operating performance and should be excluded in determining AFFO. The Company believes the performance of these derivative contracts occurs upon the settlement of such contracts, which reflects the direct impact on earnings related to the aforementioned revenue and expenses associated with these investments, and accordingly, are included for AFFO purposes. 2. On page 12 you explain that excluding non-cash income and expense items from AFFO provides useful information regarding income and expense items which have no cash impact and do not provide liquidity to the company or require capital resources of the company. This strongly implies that AFFO is a liquidity measure. Please explain to us why you believe it is appropriate to present this measure on a per share basis. See Question 102.05 of the updated Non-GAAP Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations issued May 17, 2016. We acknowledge the Staff’s comment. Our overall explanation of the reasons for using AFFO focused on our view that AFFO is an important measure of the Company’s operating performance that assists investors in assessing the sustainability of our ongoing operating performance. The language referred to by the Staff that could imply that AFFO is also a liquidity measure should not have been included as part of the description of AFFO, as the Company does not use AFFO as a liquidity measure. Accordingly, in the future, the Company proposes to use the following language to describe AFFO, which eliminates the references to “no cash impact and do not provide liquidity to the company or require capital resources of the company” and “cash flows impact the liquidity and capital resources available to distribute to investors”: We exclude certain income or expense items from AFFO that we consider more reflective of investing activities, other non-cash income and expense items and the income and expense effects of other activities that are not a fundamental attribute of our business plan. These items include early extinguishment of debt and unrealized gains and losses, which may not ultimately be realized, such as gains or losses on derivative instruments, gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, and gains and losses on investments. In addition, by excluding non-cash income and expense items such as amortization of above-market and below-market leases intangibles, amortization of deferred financing costs, straight-line rent and equity-based compensation from AFFO, we believe we provide useful information regarding income and expense items which have a direct impact on our ongoing operating performance. We also include the realized gains or losses on foreign currency exchange contracts for AFFO as such items are part of our ongoing operations and affect the current operating performance of the Company. By providing AFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our ongoing operating performance without the impacts of transactions that are not related to the ongoing profitability of our portfolio of properties. We also believe that AFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the REIT industry. Further, we believe AFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies. However, AFFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions. Investors are cautioned that AFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance excluding these activities, as it excludes certain costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which these costs are incurred. Mr. Daniel L. Gordon Senior Assistant Chief Accountant October 7, 2016 Page 3 In calculating AFFO, we exclude certain expenses, which under GAAP are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. All paid and accrued merger, acquisition and transaction related fees and certain other expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which expenses are incurred or properties are acquired will also have negative effects on returns to investors, but are not reflective of our on-going performance. AFFO that excludes such costs and expenses would only be comparable to companies that did not have such activities. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income. In addition, as discussed above, we view gains and losses from fair value adjustments as items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized and not reflective of ongoing operations and are therefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance. Excluding income and expense items detailed above from our calculation of AFFO provides information consistent with management's analysis of the operating performance of the Company. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe AFFO provides useful supplemental information. 3. In your next earnings release, please provide a substantive and concise discussion of why Cash NOI is useful to investors. Please provide us with your proposed changes in your response letter. We propose adding the following definition to materials in which we use Cash NOI: Cash net operating income, or Cash NOI, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is intended to reflect the performance of our properties. We define Cash NOI as net operating income (which is separately defined herein) excluding amortization of above/below market lease intangibles and straight-line adjustments that are included in GAAP lease revenues. We believe that Cash NOI is a helpful measure that both investors and management can use to evaluate the current financial performance of our properties and it allows for comparison of our operating performance between periods and to other REITs. Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity or our ability to fund all needs. The method by which we calculate and present Cash NOI may not be directly comparable to the way other REITs present Cash NOI. ************* Mr. Daniel L.

For convenience of reference, the Staff comments contained in the June 24th Letter are reprinted below in bold type and are followed by the corresponding response of the Company. The headings and numbered paragraphs below correspond to the headings and numbered paragraphs of the letter. References to page numbers (other than in headings taken from the June 24th Letter) are to pages of the Form 10-K. Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 Financial Statements Note 8 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities, Page F-27 1. We note that you have recorded $5.1 million of hedge ineffectiveness in earnings during 2015. Please tell us how you considered the hedge ineffectiveness in your determination that your hedges are highly effective. Within your response, please reference the authoritative accounting literature management relied upon. The Company has investments in consolidated entities whose functional currencies are British Pound Sterling (“GBP”) and Euro (“EUR”), which differs from that of the Company which is the US Dollar (“USD”). As part of its risk management program, the Company uses non-derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to both GBP-USD and EUR-USD exchange rates. These non-derivative financial instruments have generally included GBP and EUR denominated debt (foreign currency denominated draws on our line of credit) issued and outstanding with third parties (the “Hedging Instruments”) to protect the value of its net investments in GBP and EUR subsidiaries against changes in the GBP-USD and EUR-USD exchange rates. Ms. Jennifer Monick Assistant Chief Accountant July 7, 2016 Page 2 Using the strategy described above (as documented in our hedge memos), on the designation date and at the beginning of each quarterly period thereafter, the entire notional amount of each Hedging Instrument is designated against a corresponding amount of the Company’s GBP and EUR subsidiaries’ net investment balances until the entire notional amount of each Hedging Instrument has been designated. If the Company’s net investment balance is greater than the total notional amount of Hedging Instruments designated as net investment hedges, then the entire notional amount of the designated Hedging Instruments will continue to be accounted for as net investment hedges. In the event the total net investment balance in each currency is less than the total amount drawn on the Hedging Instruments in each currency designated herein, the excess portion of the Hedging Instruments are de-designated. For any amounts drawn but not designated as Hedging Instruments, the notional amount is re-measured each reporting period with any related re-measurement gains/losses recognized in the Company’s current period earnings in accordance with ASC 830. Accordingly, pursuant to paragraphs 815-35-35-12 to 815-35-35-15, there will be no ineffectiveness recognized in earnings if the notional amount of the designated portion of the Hedging Instruments (in whole or in part) matches the respective net investment balance designated as hedged items and the Hedging Instruments are denominated in the functional currency of the net investment (i.e., GBP and EUR). The Company’s disclosure on Page F-30 was intended to disclose that there was an excess/undesignated portion of the foreign draws but was inconsistent with our hedge documentation. While the total amounts reflected in the income statement were correct and the amounts of the excess foreign draws were disclosed properly (Page F-30), the Company’s income statement caption for these and the related disclosure indicated that the whole amounts of foreign draws were so designated and the income statement impact was for ineffectiveness in a hedge relationship rather than for impact of currency exchange rates on the undesignated portions of these excess foreign currency draws. The Company will clarify this in future filings. In connection with the Company’s response to the June 24th Letter, the Company acknowledges that: · The Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; · Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and · It may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Schedule TO-I
Filed June 2, 2015
File No. 005-88785
Dear Ms. Chalk:
I am writing in response to your letter, dated June 8, 2015,
regarding the comments of the Staff of the Office of Mergers and Acquisitions (the “Staff”) of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pertaining to the Schedule TO of the above referenced company (the
“Company”). The Staff’s comments, as included in that letter, are repeated below in bold type, followed
by the Company’s responses. Concurrently with the filing of this letter, the Company filed Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule
TO, which includes an amendment to the Offer to Purchase (the “Amendment to the Offer to Purchase”), filed as
exhibit (a)(xviii) to the Schedule TO, that reflects changes in response to the Staff’s comments.
Exhibit (a)(i) - Offer to Purchase
Withdrawal Rights, page 4
1. We believe the reference to June 29, 2015 as the date by which “back end withdrawal rights” arise may be a typographical
error. Please revise consistent with the requirements of Rule 13e-4(f)(2)(ii).
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment. Please see
the Amendment to the Offer to Purchase, which corrects the deadline date for withdrawal.

Conditions of the Offer, page 21
2. Refer to the disclosure on page 24 in this section. Provide additional details such that shareholders can understand the
parameters of the “REIT condition” referenced here. For example, explain what may cause you to fail to qualify for
taxation as a REIT under the Code, such that you would not be obligated to complete the Offer.
The Company believes that this condition is typical for tender offers by REIT’s, and the Company does not believe that its tender offer poses any unique risks to its REIT qualification. Nevertheless, the Company has revised the disclosure to clarify that, under applicable federal income tax law, the Company could fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code if certain stockholder ownership requirements were violated or the tender offer resulted in a preferential dividend.
The Company must distribute annually to its stockholders
at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and
excluding net capital gain. In order for distributions to be counted as satisfying the annual distribution requirements for
REITs, and to provide the Company with a REIT-level tax deduction, the distributions must not be “preferential
dividends.” A dividend is not a preferential dividend if the distribution is pro rata among all outstanding shares of
stock within a particular class, and in accordance with the preferences among different classes of stock as set forth in the
Company’s organizational documents. If the receipt of cash by a stockholder in exchange for shares pursuant to the
Offer is treated as a distribution to the stockholder with respect to the stockholder’s shares, see Section 14 of the
Offer to Purchase, such distribution will be treated as ordinary dividend income to the stockholder to the extent of such
stockholder’s ratable share of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits (to the extent not
designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income) as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles and
would likely be treated as a preferential dividend and not count toward the Company meeting the annual
distribution requirement. Such preferential dividend could taint a regular dividend distribution by the Company, if the
Internal Revenue Service were to treat the payment of cash by the Company to tendering stockholders as part of a regular
dividend distribution by the Company, which could impact its ability to qualify as a REIT. The Company intends to separate
the payment to tendering shareholders and its next regular dividend distribution so as to minimize any risk of there being a
preferential dividend issue with its regularly scheduled dividend distribution.

3. We note that the Offer is conditioned on the Credit Facility Condition being satisfied. In this section, you state that
you expect to use cash totaling approximately $25 million and expect to borrow about $100 million under the Company’s existing
revolving loan Credit Facility. On page 26 of the Offer to Purchase, you state that available borrowings under the Credit Facility
are based on a pool of eligible unencumbered real estate assets and that the unused borrowing capacity as of March 31, 2015 was
$71.6 million. Please advise how you will borrow the necessary $100 million needed to fund the Offer. We may have additional comments.
We have updated the disclosure regarding the Company’s
Credit Facility. This updated disclosure addresses the Staff’s comments. On June 16, 2015 we completed $46.9 million in
mortgage financings with respect to certain European properties, the proceeds of which are being used to reduce our outstanding
balance under our Credit Facility.
Miscellaneous
4. We note the disclosure here that the Offer is “neither being made to, not will tenders be accepted from or on behalf
of, stockholders in any jurisdiction in which the making of the Offer or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the
laws of such jurisdiction.” Please note that the all-holders provision in Exchange Act Rule 13e-4(f)(8) applies equally to
U.S. holders as well as non-U.S. holders. Refer to the interpretive guidance in section II.G.1 of SEC Release 33-8957. While an
offer need not be made into certain countries where doing so would be illegal, you may not refuse to accept tenders from holders
in certain jurisdictions. Please revise or advise.

Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013
Filed March 7, 2014
File No. 0-55202
Dear Mr. Woody:
On behalf of our client,
American Realty Capital Global Trust Inc. (the “Company”), we are submitting this letter in response to the
comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
set forth in the Staff’s letter dated December 15, 2014 (the “Amendment”) to the Annual Report on Form
10-K filed by the Company with the Commission on March 7, 2014 (the “10-K”).
Responses to the comments
have been provided by the Company to us and are set forth below.
Item 1. Business, page 5
1. We
note that you invest in net leases and that you consider tenant creditworthiness in your evaluation of investment opportunities.
In future filings, please also include a discussion of how management monitors the tenant credit quality of its current portfolio.
The Company advises the Staff that it will
include the requested disclosure in future filings.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Real Estate Investments, page F-9
2. Please
tell us and disclose your policy for determining whether the acquisition of real estate is a business or asset purchase and the
result of that determination on how your record the cost of the transaction. Please ensure you address sale/leaseback transactions
in your disclosure.
The Company reviews the provisions of FASB
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805 on Business Combinations (“Topic 805") to determine whether an acquisition
should be treated as a business combination or an asset acquisition and applies the definition of the term "business"
and related guidance set forth in Topic 805 to the transaction. If the assets acquired meet the definition of a business under
Topic 805, thereby making the acquisition a business combination, the Company applies the acquisition method for a business combination
as provided for in Topic 805; otherwise, the Company accounts for the transaction as an asset acquisition.
Topic 805 defines the term "business"
as "[a]n integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing
a return in the form of dividends, lower costs, or other economic benefits directly to investors or other owners, members, or participants."
Topic 805 sets forth additional guidance on what constitutes a business and provides that a business is comprised of three elements:
input; process; and output. Topic 805 defines the first element, input, as "[a]ny economic resource that creates, or has the
ability to create, outputs when one or more processes are applied to it." Topic 805 defines the second element, process, as
"[a]ny system, standard, protocol, convention, or rule that when applied to an input or inputs, creates or has the ability
to create outputs." Topic 805 provides examples of what constitutes a process, which include "strategic management processes,
operational processes, and resource management processes," but which typically exclude "[a]ccounting, billing, payroll,
and other administrative systems." With respect to the third element, output, Topic 805 provides that outputs are created
by the combination of the first two elements (i.e., inputs and processes applied to those inputs), but are not required for an
integrated set to qualify as a business.
In conducting an analysis of the application
of Topic 805, the Company reviews the detailed definitions of inputs, processes and outputs for each acquisition. The Company generally
acquires single occupancy, special purpose properties that are leased, or, in the case of sale/lease back transactions, will be
leased concurrently with the acquisition, under long-term triple-net leases. Accordingly, the Company believes that the first element
necessary to qualify as a business under Topic 805, input, is satisfied in that the acquisition of its properties represents the
inputs necessary for the Company to implement its business plan to operate as a lessor of real estate . The Company has generally
concluded that its acquisitions of net lease properties, including acquisitions through sale/leaseback transactions, have involved
a “process” component because the Company has the capability and intent to operate, or engage a third-party to operate,
property management, maintenance, security and other functions at the acquired properties, which meet the definition of a process
as defined in Topic 805. Additionally, the Company utilizes the acquired properties to generate rental income as an output
from the properties. Therefore, the Company believes that each of the three elements of a business is present, and it is
appropriate to apply the business combination guidance (ASC 805) in determining the accounting for its acquisitions.
Where acquisitions are assessed as being
business combinations, the acquisition costs are treated as expenses in the Company’s financial statements. Where acquisitions
are assessed as being asset acquisitions, the acquisition costs are generally capitalized and subsequently amortized as appropriate.
2
The Company advises the Staff that it will
clarify its disclosure relating to the classification of acquisitions, and provide further disclosure of the effect of such classifications
on its financial statements, in its next Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Form 8-K’s filed on May 7, 2013, June 10, 2013 and
July 24, 2013
3. We
note that you have presented within each of the above-referenced Form 8-K’s summary financial information for Travis Perkins
plc, Everything Everywhere Limited and Thames Water Utilities Limited, along with disclosure as to where audited financial statements
could be located on the internet for these companies. Please tell us how you have complied with the applicable rules to provide
financial statements of significant asset concentrations as these financial statements have not been filed pursuant to the Exchange
Act.
Although the Staff’s Financial Reporting
Manual (“FRM”) Section 2340 provides that “[a]n asset concentration is generally considered ‘significant’
if it exceeds 20% of the registrant’s assets as of its most recent balance sheet,” FRM Section 2305.5 provides
that in the case of triple net leased properties acquired by a blind pool registrant during its distribution period, significance
should be measured against the “[r]egistrant’s assets as of the date of the acquisition plus the proceeds (net of
commissions) in good faith expected to be raised in the registered offering over the next 12 months.”
As of May 3, 2013, June 7, 2013 and July
19, 2013, the Company’s total assets plus then-anticipated proceeds net of commissions expected to be raised in the registered
offering over the following 12 months were $185.0 million, $224.9 million and $268.9 million, respectively. Measured against these
totals, the acquisitions on those dates comprised approximately 3.3%, 5.5% and 6.8%, respectively. Compared against total assets
plus actual capital raised during the following 12 months, the acquisitions comprised approximately 0.8%, 1.1% and 1.2%, respectively.
As such, the properties were not “significant” for purposes of the test for significant tenant concentration and therefore
financial statements of tenants were not required.
The Company acknowledges that:
· the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;
· Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action
with respect to the filing; and
· the Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this
letter responding to the Staff’s comments. Please direct any questions concerning this response to the undersigned at (212)

We
note your intention to file a monthly pricing supplement. Prior to effectiveness, please provide us a draft of the monthly
supplement. The monthly supplement should prominently disclose the website address and phone number where the most recent
price may be obtained and should include disclosure of the NAV per share for each of the business days in the prior month.
In addition, to the extent the NAV per share deviates by more than 5% from the price disclosed in the most recently filed
prospectus, please confirm that you will file an updated pricing supplement.
Enclosed please find a draft monthly supplement for your review. We confirm that an
updated pricing supplement will be filed in the event there is a change in NAV of more than 5% from the NAV in the most recently

How will your advisor
calculate NAV per share?, page 7

Please
disclose in this section that the fees that you pay your advisor and other affiliates that are based on NAV will be higher
because you are amortizing certain costs over the five-year period, resulting in a higher NAV. Additionally, please
disclose that this will result in investors paying a higher price than if these costs were not amortized.
The disclosure has been revised as requested.

We
note your response to comment 13 of our letter dated November 23, 2011. We reissue our comment. Please revise
to clarify whether the independent valuer will also value the liabilities. For example, the disclosure on page 34 indicates
the independent valuer will value liabilities but the disclosure on page 126 indicates that the advisor will perform this
calculation.
Please note that the independent valuer will perform appraisals of the real estate assets
and the liabilities will be valued by the advisor. The disclosure has been revised accordingly.

We
note your response to comment 17 of our letter dated November 23, 2011. Please revise to clarify whether the three to

of the offering as may be extended via a follow-on registration statement. In addition, please disclose in this section
that your intended liquidity events are subject to the board determining it is appropriate to commence a liquidity event and
that a majority of your shareholders will need to approve a liquidity event. Please clarify, if true, that you may continue
indefinitely if a majority of your shareholders do not approve a liquidity transaction. Please also revise your disclosure
on page 118 as appropriate.
The three to six year period is measured
from the conclusion of the offering covered by the registration statement and not as it may be extended through any follow-on.

We
note your response to comment 28 of our letter dated November 23, 2011. We will continue to monitor for your response
to this comment.
Please note that the advisor will evaluate the calculations determined by the independent valuer immediately
following receipt of the respective calculations. The advisor has extensive experience with respect to acquiring properties meeting the investment
strategy as detailed within the prospectus and such experience has resulted in the advisor's having expertise as it relates to evaluating assumptions
used to determine the value of an investment property. In particular, the advisor compares and evaluates information contained within the valuation report
to internal files developed over time in connection with prior acquisitions and market data. Such inputs include comparable sales figures, replacement
cost as well as capitalization rates taking the tenants' credit worthiness into account.
In the absence of any errors or deviations from the valuation guidelines, the advisor does not intend to adjust the
value as determined by the independent valuer in its final report. Rather, the advisor will discuss their findings relative to information provided
within such report in the interest of ensuring no material misstatements or oversights were included within the calculation determining value.

note your response to comment 33. We still do not understand how this ratio can be negative. Assuming this issue
is addressed, we do not object to the presentation given the clarifying footnotes. However, please note that we would

purposes of the percentage leverage row in Table I may include the portion of the acquisition cost financed through a mortgage.
Please note that the presentation of information in Table I was determined in response to
a comment received by the Company on a different offering sponsored by the American Realty Capital group of companies. In

Filed October 27, 2011
File No. 333-177563
Dear Mr. McTiernan:
As counsel to American Realty Capital Global Daily Net Asset Value Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation organized to qualify as a real estate investment trust (the “Company”), we are transmitting for filing pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333- 177563) (the “Registration Statement”) and the Company’s responses to the comments of the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained in your letter dated November 23, 2011.
For convenience of reference, each Staff comment in your November 23, 2011 comment letter is reprinted below in italics, numbered to correspond with the paragraph numbers assigned in your letter, and is followed by the corresponding response of the Company.
We are providing to each of you and Stacie Gorman a courtesy copy of this letter and two courtesy copies of Amendment No. 1 filed by the Company on the date hereof, one copy of which has been marked to reflect changes made to the Registration Statement filed with the Commission on October 27, 2011 (the “Blackline”). The changes reflected in Amendment No. 1 have been made in response to the Staff’s comments and for the purpose of updating and revising certain information in the Registration Statement. All page references in our responses are to the pages of the Blackline. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this response letter that are defined in the Registration Statement shall have the meanings set forth in the Registration Statement.
General
Comment 1. We note your disclosure on page 181 regarding the share redemption program. Please provide us with a detailed legal analysis of the applicability of the tender offer rules, including Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E, to your share repurchase program. We urge you to consider all the elements of your share repurchase program in determining whether the program is consistent with relief granted by the Division of Corporation Finance in prior no action letters. See, for example, T REIT Inc. (Letter dated June 4, 2001) and Well Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (Letter dated December 3, 2003). To the extent you have questions as to whether the program is entirely consistent with the relief previously granted by the Division of Corporation Finance, you may contact the Division’s Office of Mergers and Acquisitions. Please note that we will refer your response to the Office of Mergers and Acquisitions for further review.
December 7, 2011

Response 1. The Company’s share redemption program is not a tender offer and not subject to the tender offer rules, including Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E. The share redemption program is consistent with the share redemption program of American Realty Capital Daily Net Asset Value Trust, Inc. (“ARC-NAV”), which was granted no action relief on July 21, 2011.
In granting no action relief to ARC-NAV, the SEC relied on the following facts: (i) all material information and modifications related to the redemption program will be fully and timely disclosed to stockholders in the prospectus and the NAV per share will be available on the company’s web site and toll-free information line; (ii) the company will not solicit redemptions other than through the prospectus and prospectus supplements disclosing the NAV per share; (iii) the shares will be redeemed daily at the published NAV per share for each class of shares being redeemed; (iv) the redemption price will be paid no later than three business days following a redemption request and will be the same for all shares of the same class being redeemed on a given day; (v) redemptions will be limited in any calendar quarter to shares whose aggregate value is 5% of the combined NAV of both classes of shares as of the last calendar quarter and or an aggregate limit of approximately 20% of the company’s total NAV for a 12-month period; (vi) redemptions on a first-come, first-served basis during each calendar quarter; (vii) stockholders may cancel redemption requests by notifying a customer service representative at the company’s toll-free information line; (viii) there will be no established trading market for the company’s common stock and the redemption program will be terminated if the company’s shares are listed on a national securities exchange or included for quotation on a national securities market, or in the event a secondary market for the company’s shares develops; (ix) the redemption program is intended to remain open for the life of the company unless modified or suspended by the board of directors; and (x) the redemption program is open to all stockholders on the same terms, subject to a short-term trading fee if stockholders have held their shares for less than four months. As disclosed in the prospectus, the Company’s share redemption program is consistent with the foregoing qualifications; therefore, we believe that the tender offer rules do not apply.
