Corporate Property Associates 15 Incorporated (CPA®:15) is a publicly held non-traded real estate investment trust (REIT) that provides long-term financing solutions to quality companies throughout the United States and Europe. We purchase and lease back real estate assets, enabling companies to reinvest the newly freed up capital in their businesses – a process known as sale-leaseback financing.
CPA®:15 seeks to provide investors with increasing distributions and long-term investment growth by focusing primarily on tenant creditworthiness, building lasting relationships and investing in a broadly diversified portfolio of real estate assets. Through this approach, we attempt to protect investors in all market cycles. CPA®:15 opened for investment in November 2001 and closed in August 2004.

TENDER OFFER
We would like to draw your attention to the recent second tender offer solicitation by Mackenzie Patterson Fuller, LP (MPF) to acquire your shares at a steep discount
Please read this postcard, which was mailed out to you and your financial advisors the week of March 15, 2010 and provides detailed information on why we believe you should reject MPF's offer.
- We believe their offer is clearly meant to alarm and take advantage of you and we recommend that you do not sell your shares.
- We suggest that you consult your financial advisor or contact our Investor Relations Department at 1-800-WP CAREY (972-2739) for further assistance.
- We strongly encourage you to view the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website, http://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/minitend.htm, which can provide additional information on the dangers of these types of tender offers.
