Supplemental Disclosures

Amendment to the Merger Agreement

On May 8, 2013, CCPT II, the CCPT II Partnership, Spirit and the Spirit Partnership entered into an amendment to the merger agreement, which we refer to as the amendment. The following description of the amendment is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the full text of the amendment, which is attached to this supplement as Annex A and is incorporated herein by reference. We urge you to read the amendment carefully and in its entirety. To the extent the following information is inconsistent with any information in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, the following information will amend and supersede the information in the joint proxy statement/prospectus:

Fractional Shares of Spirit Common Stock

At the effective time of the merger and by virtue of the merger, each share of Spirit common stock (other than shares of Spirit common stock owned by any wholly owned subsidiary of Spirit, CCPT II or any subsidiary of CCPT II, which will be cancelled) will be converted automatically 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). No fractional shares of CCPT II common stock will be issued. Instead of fractional shares, Spirit stockholders will receive cash, without interest, in an amount determined by multiplying


the fractional interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by the product of (i) the volume weighted average price of Spirit common stock for the 10 trading days immediately prior to the closing date, starting with the opening of trading on the first trading day to the closing of the second to last trading day prior to the closing date, as reported by Bloomberg and (ii) 0.525.

Fractional Shares of CCPT II Common Stock

At the effective time of the merger, CCPT II stockholders will continue to hold their existing shares of CCPT II common stock, except that any fractional share of CCPT II common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will be cancelled. Instead of fractional shares, CCPT II common stockholders will receive cash, without interest, in an amount determined by multiplying such fractional shares by the product of (i) the volume weighted average price of Spirit common stock for the 10 trading days immediately prior to the closing date, starting with the opening of trading on the first trading day to the closing of the second to last trading day prior to the closing date, as reported by Bloomberg and (ii) 0.525.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of CCPT II Stockholders

CCPT II stockholders will not recognize gain or loss in connection with the merger, except with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares. A CCPT II stockholder receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares will generally recognize gain (or loss) equal to the difference between the cash received and the stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in the fractional share. Such gain or loss generally should be long-term capital gain (or loss) if the stockholder held the CCPT II fractional share for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term capital gain (or loss). CCPT II stockholders should consult their tax advisors as to the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income tax consequences of the merger.

Directors and Management of CCPT II After the Merger

With respect to the disclosures made in the joint proxy statement/prospectus regarding the composition of the board of directors of the Combined Corporation being composed of all of the directors of Spirit immediately prior to the completion of the merger and up to two individuals designated by CCPT II and reasonably satisfactory to Spirit, the following information supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, such disclosure in the answer to the question “[w]ho will be the board of directors and management of the Combined Corporation after the merger?” on page vii; the section entitled “Summary — Directors and Management of CCPT II After the Merger” on page 9; the risk factor under the heading “The merger will result in changes to the board of directors of the Combined Corporation” on page 25; the section entitled “The Companies — The Combined Corporation” on page 146; the section entitled “The Merger Agreement — Board of Directors of the Combined Corporation” on page 242; the section entitled “Comparison of Rights of Stockholders of CCPT II and Stockholders of Spirit Pre-Merger and the Rights of Stockholders of the Combined Corporation Post-Merger” beginning on page 278 and all similar disclosure appearing throughout the joint proxy statement/prospectus:

Rosenberg and Thomas D. Senkbeil. Sheli Z. Rosenberg and Thomas D. Senkbeil, together with the seven directors of Spirit previously disclosed in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, will comprise the board of directors of the Combined Corporation.
