Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 21, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on August 31, 2021 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”), relates to the Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and the Class C common stock, par value $0.001 per share (together, the “Common Stock”), of Corporate Property Associates 18 — Global Incorporated (“CPA:18” or the “Company”), which classes of Common Stock have the same voting rights and privileges, and is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs:

Completion of Merger

On February 27, 2022, CPA:18 entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with W. P. Carey Inc. (“WPC”), CPA18 Merger Sub LLC, an indirect subsidiary of WPC (“Merger Sub”), and, for the limited purposes set forth therein, Carey Asset Management Corp. (“CAM”), W. P. Carey & Co. B.V. (“W. P. Carey BV”) and WPC-CPA:18 Holdings, LLC, each an indirect subsidiary of W. P. Carey, and CPA:18 Limited Partnership, a subsidiary of CPA: 18.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on August 1, 2022, CPA:18 merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub surviving the Merger as a direct subsidiary of WPC Holdco LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and direct subsidiary of WPC.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and, in exchange for the cancellation of such shares, the rights attached to each share were converted automatically into the right to receive (i) 0.0978 of a share of WPC common stock, $0.001 par value per share; and (ii) $3.00 in cash. As a result, each of the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock.

The foregoing summary of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to WPC’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2022.

Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Common Stock will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) and (b) As of the date hereof, each of the Reporting Persons does not beneficially own any shares of Common Stock.

(c) Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any other person named in this Schedule 13D, has effected any transaction in the past 60 days in shares of Common Stock.

(d) To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, except as set forth herein, no person other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons previously reported in this Item 5.

(e) On August 1, 2022, following the transaction set forth herein, each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The information set forth or incorporated by reference in Item 4 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.

Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Advisory Agreements between CPA:18 and each of CAM, W. P. Carey BV and certain of their affiliates were automatically terminated.

SIGNATURE

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
