NEW YORK, Nov. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- RCS Capital Corporation (NYSE: RCAP) ("RCS Capital") announced today that certain broker-dealers have resumed sales of products distributed by Realty Capital Securities, LLC, the company's wholesale distribution business, pursuant to 51 recently reinstated selling agreements. RCS Capital has 1,020 active selling agreements and works with over 250 firms to distribute alternative investment solutions.

"We have consistently communicated to the market our belief that the suspensions of certain of our ongoing selling agreements were of a temporary nature. The reinstatement of these agreements and this initial resumption of sales are confirmation of this belief," commented Bill Dwyer, Chief Executive Officer of Realty Capital Securities, LLC. "RCS Capital enjoys strong relationships with our broker-dealer network, and strongly believes firms clearly understand the value of RCS Capital-distributed products and continue to work constructively with us, just as we are eager to provide them with access to the quality products they demand."

RCS Capital also announced that RCS Capital's management team remains confident in the long-term value of RCS Capital's platform, as highlighted by the recent purchase of RCS Capital common stock by a number of senior executives.

RCS Capital's senior executives have purchased a total of 79,165 shares of the company's Class A common stock last week. Bill Dwyer recently purchased 42,000 shares and John H. Grady, RCS Capital's Chief Strategy and Risk Officer, bought 3,815 shares. Also, as disclosed previously in Form-4 filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), Michael Weil, RCS Capital's Chief Executive Officer, Brian Jones, RCS Capital's Chief Financial Officer, and Brian Nygaard, RCS Capital's Chief Operating Officer, purchased an aggregate of 33,350 shares of RCS Capital common stock last week.

"Management maintains an unwavering confidence in the long-term value of RCS Capital's platform, its people, its customers and the terrific growth prospects of its business," said Mr. Weil. "The recent purchase of RCS Capital shares by management underscores our firm belief that the company's current market valuation does not properly reflect the fair value of the business's robust fundamentals, earning power, growth prospects and significant competitive advantages."
