PART I
Item 1:         Business
In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Realty Income,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Realty Income Corporation and our subsidiaries.
THE COMPANY
Realty Income (NYSE: O), an S&P 500 company, is real estate partner to the world's leading companies. Founded in 1969, we invest in diversified commercial real estate and as of December 31, 2024, have a portfolio of over 15,600 properties in all 50 states of the United States ("U.S."), the United Kingdom ("U.K."), and six other countries in Europe. We are known as “The Monthly Dividend Company®” and have a mission to invest in people and places to deliver dependable monthly dividends that increase over time. Since our founding, we have declared 656 consecutive monthly dividends and are a member of the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats® index for having increased our dividend for the last 30 consecutive years.
Over the past 56 years, Realty Income has been acquiring and managing freestanding commercial properties that generate rental revenue under long-term net lease agreements with our commercial clients. We are structured as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") requiring us annually to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income (excluding net capital gains) in the form of dividends to our stockholders.
On January 23, 2024, we closed on our merger with Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. ("Spirit", formerly NYSE: SRC), which is further described in note 2, Merger with Spirit Realty Capital, Inc., to the consolidated financial statements. The Spirit portfolio consisted of 2,018 U.S. retail, industrial, and other properties across 49 states. This transaction enhanced the diversification and depth our real estate portfolio and allowed us to strengthen our longstanding relationships with existing clients and curate new ones.
BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY AND STRATEGY
We believe that actively managing a diversified portfolio of commercial properties under long-term, net lease agreements produces consistent and predictable income. A net lease typically requires the client to be responsible for monthly rent and certain property operating expenses including property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. In addition, clients of our properties typically pay rent increases based on: (1) fixed increases, (2) increases tied to inflation (typically subject to ceilings), or (3) additional rent calculated as a percentage of the clients’ gross sales above a specified level. We believe that a portfolio of properties under long-term net lease agreements with our commercial clients generally produces a more predictable income stream than many other types of real estate portfolios, while continuing to offer the potential for growth in rental income.
Diversification is a key component of our investment philosophy. We believe that diversification of the portfolio by client, industry, geography, and property type leads to more consistent and predictable income for our stockholders by reducing vulnerability that can come with any single concentration. Our investment activities have led to a diversified property portfolio and as of December 31, 2024, we owned or held interests in 15,621 properties located in all 50 U.S. states, the U.K., France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain with clients doing business in 89 industries.
As we look to continue to expand our platform globally, we focus upon building relationships with new multinational clients that seek a real estate partner with an expanding geographic footprint.
Investment Strategy
We seek to acquire, invest in and develop high-quality real estate that our clients consider important to the successful operation of their businesses. We generally seek to own or hold interests in commercial real estate that has some or all of the following characteristics:
•Properties in markets or locations important to our clients;
•Properties with strong demographic attributes or that we deem to be profitable for our clients;
•Properties with real estate valuations that approximate replacement costs;
•Properties with rental or lease payments that approximate market rents for similar properties;
•Properties that can be purchased with the simultaneous execution or assumption of long-term net lease agreements, offering both current income and the potential for future rent increases;

Table of Contents
•Properties that leverage relationships with clients, sellers, investors, or developers as part of a long-term strategy; and
•Properties that leverage our proprietary insights, including those in locations and geographic markets we expect to remain strong or strengthen in the future.
We typically seek to invest in properties or portfolios of properties owned or leased by clients that are already or could become leaders in their respective businesses supported by mechanisms including (but not limited to) occupancy of prime real estate locations, pricing, merchandise assortment, service, quality, economies of scale, consumer branding, e-commerce, and advertising. We have an internal team dedicated to sourcing such opportunities, often using our relationships with various clients, owners/developers, brokers, and advisers to uncover and secure transactions. We also undertake thorough research and analysis to identify what we consider to be appropriate property locations, clients, and industries for investment. This research expertise is instrumental to uncovering investment opportunities in markets where we believe we can add value.
In selecting potential investments, we generally look for clients with the following attributes:
•Reliable and sustainable cash flow, including demonstrated economic resiliency;
•Revenue and cash flow from multiple sources;
•Are willing to sign a long-term lease (10 or more years); and
•Are large owners and users of real estate.

From a retail perspective, our investment strategy is to target clients that have a service, non-discretionary, and/or low-price-point component to their business. We target investments with clients who have demonstrated resiliency to e-commerce or have a strong omnichannel retail strategy, uniting brick-and-mortar and mobile browsing, both of which reflect the continued importance of last mile retail, the movement of goods to their final destination, real estate as part of a customer experience and supply chain strategy. Our overall investments (including last mile retail) are driven by an optimal portfolio strategy that, among other considerations, targets allocation ranges by asset class and industry. We review our strategy periodically and stress test our portfolio in a variety of positive and negative economic scenarios to ensure we deliver consistent earnings growth and value creation across economic cycles. As a result of the execution of this strategy, approximately 91% of our annualized retail contractual rent on December 31, 2024, is derived from our clients with a service, non-discretionary, and/or low price point component to their business. We believe these characteristics enhance the stability of the rental revenue generated from these properties.
After applying this investment strategy, we pursue those transactions where we believe we can achieve an attractive investment spread over our cost of capital and favorable risk-adjusted returns. We will continue to evaluate all investments for consistency with our objective of owning net lease assets.
Underwriting Strategy
To be considered for acquisition, investments must meet stringent underwriting requirements. We analyze investments based on one or more of the following criteria:
•Industry, client (including credit), and market conditions;
•Expected financial returns under various scenarios (including default);
•The value of real estate (based on replacement cost, comparative rental rates and alternative uses), or other collateral backing the client’s contractual obligations; and
•Store profitability for retail locations if profitability data is available or the importance of the real estate location to the operations of the clients’ business.
With regard to real estate investments, we typically own the land and building in which a client conducts its business or which are critical to the client’s ability to generate revenue. It has been our experience that clients must retain their profitable and critical locations to survive. Therefore, in the event of reorganization, we believe they are less likely to reject a lease of a profitable or critical location because this would terminate their right to use the property.
Thus, as the property owner, we believe that we should fare better than unsecured creditors of the same client in the event of reorganization. If a property is rejected by our client during reorganization, we own the property and can either lease it to a new client or sell the property. In addition, we believe that the risk of default on real estate leases can be further mitigated by monitoring the performance of our clients’ individual locations and considering whether to proactively sell locations that meet our criteria for disposition.

Table of Contents
We conduct comprehensive reviews of the business segments and industries in which our clients operate. In addition, prior to entering into any transaction, our credit research team conducts a review of a client’s credit quality. The information reviewed may include reports and filings, including any public credit ratings, financial statements, debt and equity analyst reports, and reviews of corporate credit spreads, stock prices, market capitalization, and other financial metrics. We conduct due diligence, including financial reviews of the client, monitor our clients’ credit quality on an ongoing basis, and provide summaries of these findings to management.
At December 31, 2024, 32.4% of our total portfolio annualized contractual rent (as defined in "Property Portfolio Information" below) comes from properties leased to our investment grade clients, their subsidiaries or affiliated companies. At December 31, 2024, our top 20 clients (based on percentage of total portfolio annualized contractual rent) represented 36.4% of our annualized rent and 10 of these clients have investment grade credit ratings or are subsidiaries or affiliates of investment grade companies.
Asset Management Strategy
In addition to pursuing new properties for investment, we seek to increase earnings and dividends through active asset management.
Generally, our asset management efforts seek to achieve:
•Rent increases during and at the expiration of existing leases, when market conditions permit;
•Optimum exposure to certain clients, industries, and markets through re-leasing vacant properties and selectively selling properties;
•Maximum asset-level returns on properties that are renewed, re-leased or sold; and
•Additional value creation opportunities from the existing portfolio by leveraging internal capabilities to enhance individual properties, pursue alternative uses, and derive ancillary revenue.
As part of our ongoing credit and predictive analytics research, we continually monitor our portfolio for any changes that could affect the performance of our clients, our clients’ industries, and the real estate locations in which we have invested. We also regularly analyze our portfolio with a view towards optimizing its returns and enhancing its overall credit quality.
Our disposition strategy remains a function of our active investment management approach, supported by several data-driven tools, and aims at further enhancing our portfolio and maximizing portfolio returns through the sale of select assets when we believe the reinvestment of the sale proceeds will:
•Generate higher returns;
•Enhance the credit quality of our real estate portfolio;
•Extend our average remaining lease term; and/or
•Strategically decrease client, industry, or geographic concentration.
The active management of the portfolio is an essential component of our long-term strategy of maintaining high occupancy.
Capital Philosophy
A primary objective of Realty Income is to deliver dependable monthly dividends to our stockholders that increase over time. To achieve this goal, we make a variety of capital allocation decisions, including with respect to our investments, leasing and releasing terms, and property development among other capital expenditures. We fund these expenditures by utilizing internally generated cash flow, dispositions, debt and equity issuances and term loan borrowings. Over the long term, we believe that common stock should represent the majority of our capital structure. We may issue common stock when we believe our share price supports accretive deployment of proceeds into additional properties, to permanently finance properties that were initially financed by our revolving credit facility, commercial paper programs, or shorter-term debt securities, and to repay or refinance debt. In addition, we continue to explore capital diversification initiatives, including the establishment of a fund business which we believe has the potential to expand our alternatives for sources of future capital. However, we cannot assure you that we will have access to these sources of capital at all times and at terms that are acceptable to us.
Human Capital
We put great effort into cultivating an inclusive company culture. We seek to hire talented employees with diverse backgrounds and perspectives and look to foster an environment that allows for regular, open communication where capable team members have fulfilling careers and are encouraged to engage with and make a positive impact on our Company, its operations, its business partners, and the communities in which we operate.

Employees operate as "One Team" and, together, we are committed to providing an engaging work environment centered on our values of:
•Do the Right Thing,
•Take Ownership,
•Empower Each Other,
•Celebrate Differences, and
•Give More than We Take.
Recruitment, Development and Retention
At the heart of our corporate culture lie our dedicated employees, who form the foundation of our organization, representing our most valuable assets. As of December 31, 2024, our workforce comprises 468 professionals. The majority of our talented team members are recruited and hired from the communities in which we operate, embodying our commitment to local engagement. To extend the scope of our talent acquisition efforts, we have implemented various initiatives, including college and high school internship programs. Our comprehensive approach encompasses a wide range of strategies, such as engaging with affinity associations, and fostering employee referrals. These measures ensure that we continually attract and embrace a diverse pool of candidates. Furthermore, we recognize that internal mobility within our organization unlocks yet another great source of talent. By encouraging our current employees to expand their skills and take on new challenges, we tap into a rich reservoir of potential that enhances our workforce's capabilities and reinforces our corporate culture.
We offer leadership development programs and train on critical topics such as ethics, insider trading, anti-discrimination and harassment, anti-bribery, consumer privacy, cybersecurity, workplace violence prevention, safety, and other Company policies. We provide professional development opportunities for One Team members and provide assistance and support to employees who are pursuing job-related licenses, certifications, and continuing education.
Employee retention is essential for supporting a positive culture and productive workforce. Accordingly, we believe we offer competitive compensation and benefits packages. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and their families, 401(k) or equivalent plans with Company matching opportunity; paid time-off or equivalent vacation; disability and life insurance; and, in years that the Company's performance meets certain goals, the ability to earn equity in the Company subject to applicable vesting periods.
Additional information regarding our human capital programs and initiatives is available in our annual Proxy Statement and Sustainability Report, both of which can be found on our website. Information on our website, including our Sustainability Report, is not incorporated by reference into this annual report.
Employee Health, Safety and Wellbeing
We prioritize the health, safety, and wellbeing of our team members. Our wellbeing program is thoughtfully designed to empower employees by fostering personal and professional growth through engaging activities and educational initiatives. Centered around five key pillars—purpose, social connection, financial health, community engagement, and physical wellness—our program provides a holistic approach to enhancing overall wellbeing. In fostering a healthy work environment, we promote work-life balance by offering flexible schedules and providing discounted fitness programs, paid family leave, parental leave, onsite lactation rooms, an infant-at-work program, employee health fairs, and an employee assistance program, among other programs and services.
Government Regulation
General
Compliance with various governmental regulations in the countries in which we operate has an impact on our business, including our capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position, which can be material. We incur costs to monitor and take actions to comply with applicable federal, international, state and local governmental regulations that are applicable to our business, which include, among others, U.S. federal securities laws and regulations, applicable stock exchange requirements, REIT and other tax laws and regulations, environmental and health and safety laws and regulations, local zoning, usage and other regulations relating to real property, anti-money laundering and anti-bribery and corruption laws and regulations, data privacy laws and regulations, sanctions restrictions, foreign laws and regulations, gaming laws and regulations and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, ("ADA"). We believe that our properties generally have the necessary permits and approvals needed and are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in the countries in which we operate.

Environmental Matters
Investments in real property can create a potential for environmental liability. Federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations regulate releases of hazardous or toxic substances into the environment. While our tenants are generally primarily responsible for compliance with environmental laws and regulations, we as the property owner have faced and can face liability for environmental contamination created by the presence or discharge of hazardous substances on the property. We can face such liability regardless of our knowledge of the contamination; the timing of the contamination; the cause of the contamination; or the party responsible for the contamination of the property.
Some of our properties contain, have contained, or are adjacent to or near properties that contain or have contained storage tanks for petroleum products or that involve or involved the use of hazardous or toxic substances. Under certain laws and regulations, a current or previous owner, operator or tenant may be required to investigate and clean-up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases or threats of releases, and may be held liable to a government entity or third parties for property damage and for investigation, clean-up and monitoring costs incurred by those parties in connection with actual or threatened contamination. These laws typically impose clean-up responsibility and liability without regard to fault, or whether or not the owner, operator or tenant knew of or caused the contamination. The liability may be joint and several for the full amount of the investigation, clean-up and monitoring costs incurred or to be incurred or actions to be undertaken, although a party held jointly and severally liable may seek contributions from other identified, solvent, responsible parties for their fair share toward these costs. In addition, strict environmental laws regulate a variety of activities that can occur on a property, including the storage of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances, air emissions and water discharges. Such laws may impose fines or penalties for violations.
Environmental laws also govern asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”). Federal regulations require building owners and those exercising control over a building’s management to identify and warn, through signs and labels, of potential hazards posed by workplace exposure to ACM in their building. The regulations also have employee training, record keeping and due diligence requirements pertaining to ACM. Significant fines can be assessed for violation of these regulations, and we could be subject to lawsuits if personal injury from exposure to ACM occurs. Federal, state and local laws and regulations also govern the removal, encapsulation, disturbance, handling and/or disposal of ACM when those materials are in poor condition or in the event of construction, remodeling, renovation or demolition of a building. These laws may impose liability for improper handling or a release into the environment of ACM and may provide for fines to, and for third parties to seek recovery from, owners or operators of real properties for personal injury or improper work exposure associated with ACM. In addition, our properties have contained and may contain in the future or develop harmful mold or other airborne contaminants. The presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants at any of our properties has required us to and could require us to undertake in the future costly remediation to contain or remove the mold or other airborne contaminants from the affected property or increase indoor ventilation. Further, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants could expose us to liability from our tenants, employees of our tenants or others if property damage or personal injury occurs.

We maintain a corporate website at www.realtyincome.com. On our website we make available, free of charge, our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports, and other reports required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file these reports with, or furnish them to, the SEC. None of the information on our website is deemed to be part of this report.
PROPERTY PORTFOLIO INFORMATION
At December 31, 2024, most of the properties in our portfolio were leased under net lease agreements. A net lease typically requires the client to be responsible for monthly rent and certain property operating expenses including property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. In addition, clients of our properties typically pay rent increases based on: (1) fixed increases, (2) increases tied to inflation (typically subject to ceilings), or (3) additional rent calculated as a percentage of the clients' gross sales above a specified level.
We define total portfolio annualized contractual rent as the monthly aggregate cash amount charged to clients, inclusive of monthly base rent receivables, as of the balance sheet date, multiplied by 12, excluding percentage rent, interest income on loans and preferred equity investments, and including our pro rata share of such revenues from properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures. We believe total portfolio annualized contractual rent is a
useful supplemental operating measure, as it excludes properties that were no longer owned at the balance sheet date and includes the annualized rent from properties acquired during the quarter. Total portfolio annualized contractual rent has not been reduced to reflect reserves recorded as adjustments to rental revenue under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, ("U.S. GAAP") in the periods presented.
Top 10 Industry Concentrations
We are engaged in a single business activity, which is the leasing of property to clients, generally on a net basis. That business activity spans various geographic boundaries and includes property types and clients engaged in various industries. Even though we have a single segment, we believe our investors continue to view diversification as a key component of our investment philosophy and so we believe it remains important to present certain information regarding our property portfolio classified according to the business of the respective clients, expressed as a percentage of our total portfolio annualized contractual rent:

Item 1A:      Risk Factors
This “Risk Factors” section contains references to our “capital stock” and to our “stockholders.” Unless expressly stated otherwise, the references to our “capital stock” represent our common stock and any class or series of preferred stock that may be outstanding from time to time, while the references to our “stockholders” represent holders of our common stock and any class or series of preferred stock that may be outstanding from time to time.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
In order to grow we need to continue to acquire investment properties. The acquisition of investment properties may be subject to competitive pressures.
We face competition in the acquisition and operation of our properties. We expect competition from businesses, individuals, fiduciary accounts and plans, and other entities engaged in real estate investment and financing. This competition may result in a higher cost for properties we wish to purchase.
Negative market conditions or adverse events affecting our existing or potential clients, or the industries in which they operate, could have an adverse impact on our ability to attract new clients, re-lease space, collect rent or renew leases, which could adversely affect our cash flow from operations and inhibit growth.
Cash flow from operations depends in part on our ability to lease space to our clients on economically favorable terms and to collect rent from our clients on a timely basis. We could be adversely affected by various facts and events over which we have limited or no control, such as:
•Lack of demand in areas where our properties are located;
•Inability to retain existing clients and attract new clients;
•Oversupply of space and changes in market rental rates;
•Declines in our clients’ creditworthiness and ability to pay rent, which may be affected by their operations (including as a result from changes in consumer behaviors or preferences impacting our clients' operations), economic downturns and competition within their industries from other operators;
•Defaults by and bankruptcies of clients, failure of clients to pay rent on a timely basis, or failure of our clients to comply with their contractual obligations;
•Changes in laws, rules or regulations that negatively impact us, our clients or our properties;
•General economic, political and financial market conditions;
•Epidemics, pandemics or outbreaks of illness, disease or virus that affect countries or regions in which our clients and their parent companies operate or in which our properties or corporate headquarters are located;
•Changes in consumer behaviors (e.g., decrease in discretionary consumer spending), preferences or demographics impacting our clients' operations;
•Supply chain disruptions;
•Economic or physical decline of the areas where the properties are located; and
•Deterioration of physical condition of our properties.

If clients do not renew their leases as they expire, we may not be able to rent or sell the properties. Leases that are renewed and new leases for properties that are re-leased, or leases that we assume as part of portfolio acquisitions or strategic mergers and acquisitions can have terms that are less economically favorable than expiring lease terms or leases that we negotiate directly, may require us to incur significant costs such as renovations improvements, or lease transaction costs. Negative market conditions may cause us to sell properties for less than their carrying value, which could result in impairments. Any of these events could adversely affect our cash flow from operations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and service our indebtedness. A significant portion of the costs of owning property, such as real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance, are not necessarily reduced when circumstances cause a decrease in rental revenue from the properties. In a weakened financial condition, our clients may not be able to pay these costs of ownership and we may be unable to recover these operating expenses from them.
At any time, any of our clients may experience a downturn in its business that may weaken its operating results or overall financial condition. As a result, a client may delay lease commencement, fail to make rental payments when due, decline to extend a lease upon its expiration, fail to maintain the property or otherwise pay its required expenses under the terms of the lease, become insolvent or declare bankruptcy. Any client bankruptcy or insolvency, leasing delay or failure to make rental payments when due could result in the termination of our client’s lease and material losses to us. Further, the occurrence of a client bankruptcy or insolvency could diminish or eliminate the income we receive from our client’s lease or leases. A bankruptcy court could authorize a client to terminate one or more of its leases with us. If that happens, our claim against the bankrupt client for unpaid future rent would be subject to statutory limitations that most likely would result in payments that would be substantially less than the remaining rent we are owed under the leases (it is also possible that we may not receive any unpaid future rent under terminated leases) or we may elect not to pursue claims against a client for terminated leases.

Claims we have for unpaid past rent, if any, may not be paid in full, or at all. Client bankruptcies affecting a given property may also adversely impact our ability to quickly re-lease that property at favorable terms, or at all. Moreover, if a client’s leases are not terminated as the result of its bankruptcy, we may be required or elect to reduce the rent payable under those leases or provide other concessions, reducing amounts we receive under those leases. As a result, client bankruptcies may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Any of these events could adversely affect our cash flow from operations and our ability to make distributions to stockholders and service our indebtedness.
Downturns in any of the industries in which our clients operate could adversely affect our clients, which in turn could also have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and our ability to pay the principal of and interest on our debt securities and other indebtedness and to make distributions on our common stock and any outstanding preferred stock. In addition, some of our properties are leased to clients that may have limited financial and other resources and, therefore, they are more likely to be adversely affected by a downturn in their respective businesses or in the regional, national or international economy. Furthermore, we have made and may continue to make investments that fall outside of our historical focus on acquiring freestanding, single-client, net-lease retail properties located in the U.S. As a result, we are exposed to a variety of new risks by expanding into new investments, co-investment ventures, development, industries, property types, revenue-generating activities and/or new jurisdictions outside the U.S. These risks may include limited experience in managing certain types of new properties, engaging in new types of revenue-generating activities, new types of real estate locations and lease structures, new co-investment ventures, and the laws and culture of non-U.S. jurisdictions.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT, it could adversely impact us, and the amount of dividends we are able to pay would decrease, which could adversely affect the market price of our capital stock and could adversely affect the value of our debt securities.
We are organized and have operated, and we intend to continue to operate, so as to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. However, we cannot make any assurances that we have been organized or have operated in a manner that has satisfied the requirements for qualification as a REIT, or that we will continue to be organized or operate in a manner that will allow us to continue to qualify as a REIT. Qualification as a REIT involves the satisfaction of numerous requirements under highly technical and complex Code provisions, for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations, as well as the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control. As we have recently expanded into new geographies and transactional structures, and may continue to do so in the future, the analyses of our REIT qualification, and our ability to ensure such qualification, have become, and may become in the future, more complex. For example, in order to qualify as a REIT, at least 95% of our gross income in each year must be derived from qualifying sources, and we must pay distributions to stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our taxable income (excluding net capital gains). If we fail to satisfy any of the requirements for qualification as a REIT, we may be subject to certain penalty taxes or, in some circumstances, we may fail to qualify as a REIT. If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year:
•We would be required to pay regular U.S. federal corporate income tax on our taxable income;
•We would not be allowed a deduction for amounts distributed to our stockholders in computing our taxable income;
•We could be subject to a federal alternative minimum tax and possibly increased state and local taxes;
•We could be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost;
•We would no longer be required to make distributions to stockholders; and
•This treatment would substantially reduce amounts available for investment or distribution to stockholders because of the additional tax liability for the years involved, which could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our capital stock and the value of our debt securities.
Even if we qualify for and maintain our REIT status, we may be subject to certain federal, state, local and non-U.S. taxes on our income and property. For example, if we have net income from a prohibited transaction, that income will be subject to a 100% tax. In addition, our taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to federal, state and, in some cases, non-U.S. taxes at the applicable tax rates on their income and property. Any failure to comply with legal and regulatory tax obligations could adversely affect our ability to conduct business and could adversely affect the market price of our capital stock and the value of our debt securities.

Changes in U.S. or Non-U.S. tax laws and regulations, including changes to tax rates, and legislative or other actions may adversely affect us or our investors.
Federal income taxation laws are constantly under review and may change. Additionally, the governments of many of the other countries in which we operate may enact changes to the tax laws of such countries. Changes to the tax laws, with or without retroactive application, could adversely affect us or our investors, including holders of our common stock or debt securities. We cannot predict how changes in the tax laws might affect us or our investors. New legislation, Treasury regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could significantly and negatively affect our ability to qualify as a REIT, the federal income tax consequences of such qualification, or the federal income tax consequences of an investment in us as well as the amount of tax we are required to pay. Also, the law relating to the tax treatment of other entities, or an investment in other entities, could change, making an investment in such other entities more attractive relative to an investment in a REIT. In addition, the tax treatment of certain of our sale-leaseback transactions could change, which could make such sale-leaseback transactions less attractive to potential sellers and lessees and negatively impact our operations.
Distribution requirements imposed by law limit our flexibility.
To maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we generally are required to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our taxable income, excluding net capital gains, each year. We also are subject to tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our taxable income (including net capital gains) each year. In addition, we are subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax to the extent that we fail to distribute during any calendar year at least the sum of 85% of our ordinary income for that calendar year, 95% of our capital gain net income for the calendar year, and any amount of that income that was not distributed in prior years. We intend to continue to make distributions to our stockholders to comply with the distribution requirements of the Code as well as to reduce our exposure to federal income taxes and the nondeductible excise tax. Differences in timing between the receipt of income and the payment of expenses to arrive at taxable income, along with the effect of required debt amortization payments, could require us to borrow funds to meet the distribution requirements that are necessary to achieve the tax benefits associated with qualifying as a REIT.
Future issuances of equity securities could dilute the interest of holders of our common stock.
Our future growth will depend, in large part, upon our ability to raise additional capital. Raising capital through the issuance of equity securities, including securities exchangeable into our equity securities or convertible debt securities, can dilute the interests of holders of our common stock. The interests of our common stockholders could also be diluted by the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to equity incentive plans. Our Board of Directors is authorized to cause us to issue preferred stock of any class or series with dividend, voting and other rights as determined by our Board of Directors (such as the shares of preferred stock that were issued in connection with the closing of the merger with Spirit) which could dilute, or otherwise adversely affect, the interest of holders of our common stock.
We may acquire properties or portfolios of properties through tax deferred contribution transactions, which could result in stockholder dilution and limit our ability to sell or refinance such assets.
We have in the past and may in the future acquire properties or portfolios of properties through tax deferred contribution transactions in exchange for partnership units in an operating partnership that, under certain circumstances, may be exchanged for shares of our common stock, resulting in stockholder dilution. This acquisition structure may have the effect of, among other things, reducing the amount of tax depreciation we could deduct over the tax life of the acquired properties, and may require that we agree to restrictions on our ability to dispose of, or refinance the debt on, the acquired properties in order to protect the contributors’ ability to defer recognition of taxable gain. Similarly, we may be required to incur or maintain debt we would otherwise not incur so we can allocate the debt to the contributors to maintain their tax bases. In the event we take any action that causes taxable gain to be allocated to these contributors, we may be required to indemnify them under tax protection agreements. These restrictions could limit our ability to manage, control, sell or refinance an asset at a time, or on terms, that would be favorable absent such restrictions.
We are subject to risks associated with debt and preferred stock financing.
We intend to incur additional indebtedness in the future, including borrowings under our $4.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and our $3.0 billion commercial paper programs.
Our revolving credit facility grants us the option, subject to obtaining lender commitments and other customary conditions, to expand the borrowing limits thereunder to up to $5.25 billion. Our term loan agreement (the “2023 term loan agreement”) governs our 2023 term loans, pursuant to which we have borrowed an aggregate of approximately $1.0 billion in multicurrency borrowings. The 2023 term loan agreement also permits us to incur additional term loans, up to an aggregate of $1.5 billion in total borrowings, pursuant to an accordion expansion feature, which is subject to obtaining lender commitments and other customary conditions.

Table of Contents
The term loans pursuant to our 2023 term loan agreement mature in January 2026. At December 31, 2024, we also had a total of $22.9 billion of outstanding unsecured senior debt securities (excluding unamortized net original issuance premiums, deferred financing costs and basis adjustments on interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges), including approximately $5.0 billion denominated in Sterling (of which $1.1 billion is related to our privately placed Sterling notes), $1.1 billion denominated in Euro thereunder, and approximately $81.3 million of outstanding mortgage debt (excluding unamortized net discounts and deferred financing costs).
In connection with the consummation of the closing of the merger (the “Merger”) with Spirit on January 23, 2024, we effectively assumed Spirit’s existing term loans with various lenders. Specifically, on January 22, 2024, we entered into an amended and restated term loan agreement, pursuant to which we borrowed $800 million in aggregate total borrowings, $300 million of which matures on August 22, 2025 and $500 million of which matures on August 20, 2027 (the “$800 million term loan agreement”), and an amended and restated term loan agreement pursuant to which we borrowed $500 million in aggregate total borrowings which matures on June 16, 2025. The $800 million term loan agreement and the $500 million term loan agreement became effective upon the closing of the Merger on January 23, 2024. Our A3/A- credit ratings provide for a borrowing rate of 80 basis points over the applicable benchmark rate, which includes adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") for US Dollar-denominated loans, adjusted Sterling Overnight Indexed Average (“SONIA”) for Sterling-denominated loans, and Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) for Euro-denominated loans. In conjunction with closing, we executed one-year variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps which fix our per annum interest rate at 5.0% over the initial term. In addition, as a result of the Merger, all outstanding secured indebtedness, liabilities, and other indebtedness of Spirit and its subsidiaries, including $2.75 billion of additional senior unsecured notes that were originally issued by Spirit Realty Capital, L.P., substantially all of which were exchanged for senior unsecured notes issued by us, became indebtedness and liabilities of ours or our subsidiaries, as the case may be, which substantially increased the total secured indebtedness and the total liabilities and other indebtedness of us and our subsidiaries.
Pursuant to our unsecured commercial paper programs we may offer and sell up to $3.0 billion of commercial paper at any time. We use our revolving credit facility as a liquidity backstop for the repayment of notes issued under the commercial paper programs. Specifically, we maintain unused borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility equal to the aggregate principal amount of borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper programs from time to time. We may in the future enter into amendments and restatements of our revolving credit facility and term loan facilities, or enter into new revolving credit facilities or term loan facilities, and any such amended, restated or replacement revolving credit facilities or term loan facilities may increase the amounts we are entitled to borrow, subject to customary conditions, compared to our current revolving credit facility and term loan facilities, or we may incur other indebtedness. We may also in the future increase the size of our commercial paper programs or establish new commercial paper programs. We expect that we will continue to use our current and any new revolving credit facilities we may enter into (in each case as the same may be expanded, amended or restated, if applicable, from time to time), as a liquidity backstop for the repayment of notes issued under our current or any new commercial paper programs that we may maintain from time to time.
To the extent that new indebtedness is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face would increase. As a result, we are and will be subject to risks associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow could be insufficient to make required payments on our debt or to pay dividends on our common stock. We also face variable interest rate risk as the interest rates on our revolving credit facility, term loan facilities, and commercial paper programs are variable (subject to our interest rate swaps on our term loan facilities, in effect from time to time), and the interest rates on any credit facilities and term loan facilities we may enter into in the future may be variable, and could therefore increase over time. In addition, commercial paper borrowings are short-term obligations and the interest rate on newly issued commercial paper varies according to market conditions at the time of issuance. Similarly, some of the indebtedness to which we have become subject to subsequent to the Merger may also bear interest at variable rates. In addition, while we may enter into hedging and other derivatives instruments to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in borrowing and currency rates, we may not realize the anticipated benefits from these arrangements or they may be insufficient to mitigate our exposure. We also face the risk that we may be unable to refinance or repay our debt as it comes due. Given past disruptions in the financial markets and ongoing global financial uncertainties, we also face the risk that one or more of the participants in our revolving credit facility may be unwilling or unable to lend us money.
We have incurred and may continue to incur indebtedness that is denominated in local currencies to fund our international investments and operations. However, it is possible that such indebtedness may be insufficient or may be on unacceptable terms requiring us to use non-local currency indebtedness.

Table of Contents
In such event, we may be subject to foreign exchange rate volatility. While we may enter into hedging and other derivatives instruments to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we may not realize the anticipated benefits from these arrangements or these arrangements may be insufficient to mitigate our exposure.
Our revolving credit facility, our term loan facilities, and our mortgage loan documents contain provisions that could limit or, in certain cases, prohibit the payment of dividends and other distributions to holders of our common stock and any outstanding preferred stock. The credit agreements governing our revolving credit facility and term loan facilities provide that, if an event of default (as defined in the credit agreements, as applicable) exists, we may not pay any dividends or make other distributions on (except distributions payable in shares of a given class of our stock to the stockholders of that class), or repurchase or redeem, among other things, any shares of our common stock or any outstanding preferred stock, during any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters in an aggregate amount in excess of the greater of (i) the sum of 95% of our adjusted funds from operations (as defined in the credit agreements, as applicable) for that period plus the aggregate amount of cash distributions made to holders of our outstanding preferred stock for that period, and (ii) the minimum amount of cash distributions required to be made to our stockholders in order to maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and to avoid the payment of income or excise taxes that would otherwise be imposed under specified sections of the Code on income we do not distribute to our stockholders, except we may repurchase or redeem shares of our outstanding preferred stock, if any, with net proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock or preferred stock.
The credit agreements each provide that, in the event of a failure to pay principal, interest, or any other amount payable thereunder when due or upon the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to us or with respect to one or more of our subsidiaries that in the aggregate meet a significance test set forth in the credit agreements, we and our subsidiaries (other than our wholly-owned subsidiaries) may not pay dividends or make other distributions on (except for (a) distributions payable in shares of a given class of our stock to the stockholders of that class and (b) dividends and distributions described in (ii) above), or repurchase or redeem, among other things, any shares of our common stock or preferred stock. If any such event of default under the applicable credit agreements (or under any other credit agreement or debt instrument with similar terms that we may in the future enter into or be subject to) were to occur, it would likely have a material adverse effect on the market price of our outstanding common stock and any outstanding preferred stock and on the market value of our debt securities which could limit the amount of dividends or other distributions payable to holders of our common stock and any outstanding preferred stock or the amount of interest and principal we are able to pay on our indebtedness, or prevent us from paying those dividends, other distributions, interest or principal altogether, and may adversely affect our ability to qualify, or prevent us from qualifying, as a REIT.
Our indebtedness could also have other important consequences to holders of our common stock, outstanding preferred stock, and our debt securities, including: increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements; requiring the use of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations for the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, and general corporate requirements; limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry; and putting us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors with less indebtedness.
If we default under a credit facility, loan agreement, or other debt instrument, the lenders will generally have the right to demand immediate repayment of the principal and interest on all of their loans and, in the case of secured indebtedness, to exercise their rights to seize and sell the collateral. Moreover, a default under a single loan or debt instrument may trigger cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions in other indebtedness and debt instruments, giving the holders of such other indebtedness and debt instruments similar rights to demand immediate repayment and to seize and sell any collateral.
Real estate ownership is subject to particular conditions that may have a negative impact on our revenue.
We are subject to all of the inherent risks associated with the ownership of real estate. We face the risk that rental revenue from our properties may be insufficient to cover all corporate operating expenses, debt service payments on indebtedness we incur, and distributions on our capital stock. Additional real estate ownership risks include:
•Adverse changes in general or local economic conditions;
•Changes in supply of, or demand for, similar or competing properties;
•Changes in interest rates and operating expenses (including energy costs, shortages and rationing);
•Competition within an industry and for our clients;
11

Table of Contents
•Changes in market rents;
•Inability to lease properties upon termination of existing leases;
•Flat leases, leases with below market rental rates or renewal of leases at lower rental rates;
•Inability to collect rental revenue from our clients due to financial hardship, including bankruptcy;
•Changes in tax, real estate, zoning and environmental laws that may have an adverse impact upon the value of real estate;
•Uninsured property liability;
•Property damage or casualty losses;
•Unexpected expenditures for capital improvements, including requirements to bring properties into compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws;
•The need to periodically renovate and repair our properties;
•Risks assumed as manager for development or redevelopment projects;
•Physical or weather-related damage to properties;
•The potential risk of functional obsolescence of properties over time;
•Acts of terrorism and war;
•Changes in consumer behaviors, preferences or demographics;
•The impacts of extreme weather events or climate change and the varying local, state, and federal regulatory landscape impacting properties to address the impacts of climate change; and
•Acts of God and other factors beyond the control of our management.
Real estate property investments are illiquid. We may not be able to acquire or dispose of properties when desired or on favorable terms.
Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. Our ability to quickly buy, sell or exchange any of our properties, or to contribute our properties to co-investment, including in response to changes in economic and other conditions will be limited and U.S. and non-U.S. tax and regulatory regimes and authorities - competition from other owners of properties that are trying to dispose of their properties, availability of capital, economic and market conditions and other factors beyond our control, may impose or have the effect of restricting or limiting our ability to sell or contribute properties. No assurances can be given that we will recognize full value, at a price and at terms that are acceptable to us, for any property that we are required to sell or contribute for liquidity reasons. Our inability to respond rapidly to changes in the performance of our investments could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our acquisition of additional properties may have a significant effect on our business, liquidity, financial position and/or results of operations.
Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to manage our mergers and acquisitions, acquisitions, and expansion opportunities under prevailing market conditions. We are regularly engaged in the process of identifying, analyzing, underwriting, and negotiating possible acquisition transactions. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in consummating future mergers and acquisitions or acquisitions on favorable terms or that we will realize expected cash yields, integration results, operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue enhancements, synergies, or other benefits. In addition, we have historically engaged in, and may again in the future engage in strategic acquisitions of operating businesses, in which case we would be subject to risks related to our ability to successfully underwrite such target's businesses effectively and to combine such target's operations with ours in a manner that permits the combined company to achieve operating efficiencies (including with the integration of information technology systems), cost savings and efficiencies, revenues, synergies or other benefits either in the time frame anticipated or at all. Our inability to consummate one or more acquisitions on such terms, our failure to adequately underwrite and identify risks and obligations when acquiring properties, or our failure to realize the intended benefits from one or more acquisitions, could have a significant adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial position and/or results of operations, including as a result of our incurrence of additional indebtedness and related interest expense and our assumption of unforeseen contingent liabilities in connection with completed acquisitions.
We have made and may continue to make acquisitions of properties (including through the use of alternative lease and acquisition structures such as joint ventures, partnerships, fund and other structures) or engage in other revenue-generating businesses, that fall outside our historical focus on wholly-owned freestanding, single-client, net lease retail locations in the U.S. We may be exposed to a variety of new risks by expanding into new investments, property types (e.g., non-retail businesses), geographies, lease and acquisition structures, and clients who engage in non-retail businesses. For instance, while we have historically predominantly owned and leased commercial properties under long-term, net lease agreements, as we expand into new verticals, the composition of our lease portfolio may include a higher concentration of alternative lease structures, under which we may be primarily responsible for other expenses and liabilities with respect to the property, including property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs.

Table of Contents
These risks may be enhanced by our limited experience in managing these new investments or activities, property types, geographies, lease and acquisition structures, clients and the laws and/or culture of non-U.S. geographies.
As a property owner, we may be subject to unknown environmental liabilities.
Investments in real property can create a potential for environmental liability. We could be subject to liability, including strict liability, by virtue of our ownership interest for environmental contamination. Further, laws and regulations governing environmental contamination change and we have been, and in the future may be, subject to additional liability by virtue of these changes. We can face such liability regardless of our knowledge of the contamination; the timing of the contamination; the cause of the contamination; or the party responsible for the contamination of the property.
There may be environmental conditions associated with our properties of which we are unaware. Our portfolio includes properties leased to operators of convenience stores that sell petroleum-based fuels, to operators of oil change and tune-up facilities, and operators that use chemicals and other waste products. These facilities and some other of our properties, use, or may have used in the past, underground lifts or storage tanks for the storage of petroleum-based or waste products, which could create a potential for the release of hazardous substances. Certain of our other properties, including those leased for industrial purposes, may also involve operations or activities that could give rise to environmental liabilities or could have been built using asbestos or other building materials that require owners or operators to undertake special precautions including removal, abatement, or adequately train or inform those that come in contact with such materials.
The presence of hazardous substances on a property may adversely affect our client's ability to continue to operate that property or our ability to lease or sell that property and we may incur substantial remediation costs or third-party liability claims. Although our leases generally require our clients to operate in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, and to indemnify us against any environmental liabilities arising from the clients’ activities on the properties, we could nevertheless be subject to liability, including strict liability, by virtue of our ownership interest. There also can be no assurance that our clients could or would satisfy their indemnification obligations under their leases. The discovery of environmental liabilities attached to our properties could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, our financial condition, or our ability to make distributions to stockholders and to pay the principal of and interest on our debt securities and other indebtedness.
While we maintain environmental insurance policies, our insurance could be unavailable or insufficient to address an environmental liability and/or we could be unable to obtain insurance for environmental matters at a reasonable cost or at all. Our clients are generally responsible for, and indemnify us against, liabilities for environmental matters that arise during the lease terms as a result of clients’ activities on the properties. However, we acquire properties with existing leases in place and the indemnities and other lease terms can have different indemnification requirements including for environmental matters than what is provided for in our leases that we negotiate directly with clients. It is also possible that one or more of our clients could fail to have sufficient funds to cover any such indemnification or to meet applicable state financial assurance obligations or such environmental contamination may predate our client's lease term, and thus we may still be obligated to pay for any such environmental liabilities.
We are subject to risks and liabilities in connection with forming and attracting third-party investment in our anticipated fund business, investing in new or existing co-investment ventures or funds, and managing properties through our anticipated fund business or other co-investment ventures.
As previously publicly disclosed, we anticipate forming a fund business, and may explore options to form other co-investment ventures in the future. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of available funds that we may invest in our anticipated fund business or other co-investment ventures. We currently intend to develop and acquire properties through our new fund business and co-investment ventures and we may also make investments in other entities at our discretion in the future. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to form our anticipated fund business and co-investment ventures on the timeline expected, or at all, attract third-party investment or that additional investments in our anticipated fund business or other co-investment ventures to develop or acquire properties in the future will be successful, or that such anticipated fund business or other co-investment ventures will improve our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Further, there can be no assurance that we are able to realize value from our existing or future investments.
Our anticipated fund business or other co-investment ventures are expected to involve certain additional risks that we do not currently otherwise face, including the risks inherent in owning, operating and managing one or more funds, risks related to our ability to negotiate third-party investments, such as valuation, operational limitations, management fee structures and other incentive fees, on terms that are beneficial to us, and the inherent conflicts that may exist in allocating investment opportunities effectively between us and the fund or such other co-investment ventures.

In addition, the same factors that may impact the valuation of our existing portfolio, as otherwise discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, may also impact the portfolios to be held by the funds or co-investment ventures and could result in other than temporary impairment of our investment and a reduction in fee revenues, if any. Our fund business may be subject to some or all of the risks more fully described in "We may engage in development, speculative development, or expansion projects or invest in new asset classes, which would subject us to additional risks that could negatively impact our operations."
Such risks may adversely impact our anticipated fund business's or our other co-investment ventures' financial position or results of operation.
We are subject to additional risks from our international investments and debt.
We have acquired and may continue to make investments outside of the U.S. These investments may expose us to a variety of risks that are different from and in addition to those commonly found in the U.S. Our international investments are subject to additional risks, including:
•The laws, rules and regulations applicable in such jurisdictions outside of the U.S., including those related to property ownership and control by foreign entities;
•Complying with a wide variety of foreign laws, including corruption, employment, data protection, energy usage, health, safety, environmental regulations which may require capital expenditures to maintain or bring our foreign properties into compliance with applicable regulations and/or may require disclosure of various environmental, social and governance matters, and the compliance risks and costs related thereto;
•Fluctuations in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar (including risks related to their impact on our results of operations, hedging and other derivative arrangements used to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency rates, translational reporting risks, and exchange controls);
•As we may not have or have only a limited number of properties within a jurisdiction, our experience in that market and with local business may be limited, and our operating costs may be disproportionately higher until the number of properties within a jurisdiction grows;
•We may face challenges with expanding into current or new jurisdictions, such as identifying and securing investment opportunities, hiring and retaining employees, extended time periods for acquiring or disposing of investments, which may increase the cost of funding an investment, and potentially experiencing different cultural and business practices related to employees, rent adjustments, ground leases, and property ownership requirements and limitations;
•Challenges in establishing effective systems, infrastructure, controls and procedures to manage and regulate operations in different regions and to monitor and ensure compliance with applicable regulations, such as applicable laws related to corrupt practices, employment, licensing, construction, energy usage, climate change or environmental compliance;
•Unexpected, new or other changes in regulatory requirements (including disclosure requirements), tax, tariffs, trade barriers and other laws within jurisdictions outside the U.S. or between the U.S. and such jurisdictions;
•Potentially adverse tax consequences with respect to our properties and/or investment vehicles;
•Initial limited investments within certain regions or countries may result in industry or client concentration risks;
•The impact of regional or country-specific business cycles, inflation and economic instability, including deterioration in political relations with the U.S., instability in, or further withdrawals from, the European Union or other international trade alliances or agreements; and
•Political instability, uncertainty over property rights, civil unrest, acts of war, drug trafficking, political activism or the continuation or escalation of terrorist or gang activities.
We also engage external property managers and other third parties, who assist with managing our international properties. If a property manager or third party fails to meet its obligations or terminates its services, we may need to find a replacement; however, these services may be on less favorable terms and conditions, or we may not be able to find a suitable replacement in a timely manner or at all.
We have incurred and may continue to incur indebtedness that is denominated in local currencies to fund our international investments and operations. However, it is possible that such indebtedness may be insufficient or may be on unacceptable terms requiring us to use non-local currency indebtedness. In such event, we may be subject to foreign exchange rate volatility which may be impacted by various factors, including those described above. While we may enter into hedging and other derivatives instruments to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, we may not realize the anticipated benefits from these arrangements or these arrangements may be insufficient to mitigate our exposure.

For more information, see “—We are subject to risks associated with debt and preferred stock financing.” If we are unable to adequately address these risks, they could have a significant adverse effect on our operations.
We may engage in development, speculative development, or expansion projects or invest in new asset classes, which would subject us to additional risks that could negatively impact our operations.
We may engage in development, speculative development, or other expansion projects, which could require us to raise additional capital and obtain additional state and local permits. A decision by any governmental agency not to issue a required permit or substantial delays in the permitting process could cause us to incur penalties, delay us from receiving rental payments or result in us receiving reduced rental payments, or prevent us from pursuing the development, speculative development, or expansion project altogether. Additionally, any such new development, speculative development, or expansion project may not operate at designed capacity or may cost more to operate than we expect. The inability to successfully complete development, speculative development, expansion or other value-added projects or to complete them on a timely basis could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We have and may continue to make investments and utilize transaction structures that are outside of our traditional business, including entering into new asset classes, such as casinos and vertical farms, and entering into (or expanding our use of) new transaction structures, such as strategic co-investment ventures, joint ventures, funds, lending, and increased exploration of sale-leaseback transactions. We invest and may continue to invest in new or different assets or enter into new transaction structures that may or may not be closely related to our current business and which could require new or additional processes, controls, systems and personnel. These new assets and transaction structures may have new, different or increased risks than what we are currently exposed to in our business and we may not be able to manage these risks successfully. Such risks include:
•When investing in new assets or transaction structures, we will be exposed to the risk that those assets or structures, or the income generated thereby, will affect our ability to meet the requirements to maintain our REIT status, or will subject us to additional regulatory requirements or limitations;
•Our partners or investors may share certain approval rights over major decisions or have the ability to appoint persons to governing bodies;
•Our partners or investors may seek to exit or redeem their investment, and may do so simultaneously, causing the venture or fund to seek capital to satisfy these requests on less than optimal terms;
•If our partners or investors fail to fund their share of any required capital contributions, then we may choose to contribute such capital or the venture or fund may have to raise additional capital or incur indebtedness on less than optimal terms;
•Our partners or investors may have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals that would affect our ability to operate the venture or fund and adversely impact our consolidated financial position or results of operations;
•The venture or fund or other governing agreements may restrict the transfer of an interest in the co-investment venture or fund or may otherwise restrict our ability to sell the interest when we desire or on advantageous terms;
•Our relationships with our partners or investors are likely to be contractual in nature and may be terminated or dissolved under the terms of the agreements, and in such event, the venture or fund may terminate or we may not continue to invest in or manage the assets underlying such relationships resulting in a decrease in our assets under management and a reduction in fee revenues; and
•Disputes between us and our partners or investors may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business and result in subjecting the properties owned by the applicable co-investment venture or fund to additional risk.
If we are not able to successfully manage the risks associated with such new assets, it could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Property taxes may increase without notice.
Real estate property taxes on our properties (including properties we develop or acquire) may increase as property tax rates change and as those properties are assessed or reassessed by tax authorities. While the majority of our leases are under a net lease structure, some or all of such property taxes may not be collectible from our clients, and, as we continue to expand into new verticals, the concentration of our leases under which we are primarily responsible for property taxes may increase, enhancing our exposure to such risks.

We may face extensive regulations from gaming and other regulatory authorities regarding current and future gaming properties.
As a landlord of a gaming facility or future gaming facilities, we may be impacted by the risks associated with the gaming industry. The ownership, operation, and management of gaming facilities are subject to extensive regulation. Gaming authorities also retain great discretion such that gaming regulations can impact our gaming clients, individuals associated with the operation of gaming properties, and us as the owner of the real estate and landlord related to such facilities. Gaming laws and regulations can impact all facets of a gaming property, including but not limited to gaming, service and consumption of alcoholic beverages, hours of operation, staffing and licensing of employees, marketing, currency transactions including compliance with the Foreign Corruption Practices Act and other anti-corruption laws and safety and security of the gaming property. Such laws and regulations could change or could be interpreted differently in the future, or new laws and regulations could be enacted, which could adversely affect our operating results, and may also result in additional taxes or licensing fees imposed on us and our gaming clients. In addition, subject to certain administrative due process requirements, gaming regulators generally have broad authority to conduct investigations into the conduct or associations of our officers or certain investors to ensure compliance with applicable standards and suitability to hold a gaming license, and to deny any application or limit, condition, restrict, revoke, or suspend any gaming license, registration, or finding of suitability or approval, or fine any person licensed, registered, or found suitable or qualified as a licensee. As a result, our ability to obtain or maintain our required licenses and approvals, or avoid penalties related thereto, may be subject to risks, including risks outside of our control, and cannot be predicted.
Were a tenant unable to continue to perform under a lease, because of the highly regulated nature of the industry, it may be difficult to re-lease gaming properties. This difficulty may be exacerbated to the extent the gaming property is located in a geography that does not have an expansive gaming footprint, such as one of the properties, in which we are invested. A transfer of interest, including a new lease, or a new management contract with a new operator will likely require approval of regulators and the licensing of a new gaming operator tenant.
An uninsured loss or a loss that exceeds the policy limits on our properties could subject us to lost capital or revenue on those properties.
Our leases generally require our clients to indemnify and hold us harmless from liabilities resulting from injury to persons, air, water, land or property, due to activities conducted on the properties, except for claims arising from the negligence or intentional misconduct of us or our agents. Additionally, clients are generally required, at the client’s expense, to obtain and keep in full force during the term of the lease, general liability and property damage insurance policies. The insurance policies our clients are required to maintain for property damage are generally in amounts not less than the full replacement cost of the improvements less slab, foundations, supports and other customarily excluded improvements.
Many of our properties are also covered by flood and earthquake insurance policies (subject to substantial deductibles) obtained and paid for by our clients as part of their risk management programs. Additionally, we have obtained blanket liability, flood and earthquake (subject to substantial deductibles) and property damage insurance policies to protect us and our properties against loss should the indemnities and insurance policies provided by the clients fail to restore the properties to their condition prior to a loss. We do not carry insurance for certain losses and certain types of losses may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. However, should a loss occur that is uninsured or in an amount exceeding the combined aggregate limits for the policies noted above, or in the event of a loss that is subject to a substantial deductible under an insurance policy, we could lose all or part of our capital invested in, and anticipated revenue from, one or more of the properties, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition and on our ability to pay the principal of and interest on our debt securities and other indebtedness and to make distributions to our stockholders. We also face the risk that our insurance carriers may not be able to provide payment under any potential claims that might arise under the terms of our insurance policies, and we may not have the ability to purchase insurance policies we desire.
In addition, although we obtain title insurance policies on our properties to help protect us and our properties against title defects (such as adverse claims of ownership, liens or other encumbrances), there may be certain title defects that our title insurance will not cover. If a material title defect related to any of our properties is not adequately covered by a title insurance policy, we could lose some or all of our capital invested in and our anticipated profits from such property, cause a financial misstatement or damage our reputation.

Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and fire, safety, and other regulations may require us to make unanticipated expenditures that could adversely impact our results of operations.
Our U.S. properties are generally required to comply with the ADA. The ADA has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities,” but generally requires that buildings be made accessible to people with disabilities. Compliance with the ADA requirements could require removal of access barriers and non-compliance could result in imposition of fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages to private litigants. The clients to whom we lease properties are obligated by law to comply with the ADA provisions and, in many cases, the clients are generally obligated to cover costs associated with compliance pursuant to the terms of their applicable leases. If required changes involve greater expenditures than anticipated, or if the changes must be made on a more accelerated basis than anticipated, the ability of these clients to cover costs could be adversely affected. In such circumstances and where the expenditures are otherwise the responsibility of the landlord, we could be required to expend our own funds to comply with the provisions of the ADA, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition and our ability to pay the principal of and interest on our debt securities and other indebtedness and to make distributions to our stockholders. In addition, our properties must be in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations, as they may be adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to our properties. We may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with those requirements and these expenditures could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition and our ability to pay the principal of and interest on our debt securities and other indebtedness and to make distributions to our stockholders.
Our business is subject to risks associated with climate change.
Our business is subject to risks associated with the effects of climate change, and a market shift to a lower carbon economy, and may be subject to further risks in the future. A failure to adequately adapt to climate change could adversely affect our business through both chronic and acute perils including, but not limited to, extreme weather, changes in precipitation and temperature, and rising sea levels, all of which may result in physical damage to, or a decrease in demand for, our properties located in the areas affected by these conditions, and may adversely impact consumer behaviors, preferences and spending for our clients, and insurance costs, which may impact their ability to fulfill their obligations under our leases, or our ability to re-lease the properties in the future. In addition, should the impact of climate change be severe or occur for lengthy periods of time, connectivity, labor and supply chains could impact business continuity for ourselves and our clients.
The effects of climate change may lead to increased costs for us and our clients to adapt to the demands and expectations of lowering our carbon footprint, including with respect to setting carbon reduction targets, implementing renewable energy, retrofitting properties to be more energy efficient and implementing longer-term low-carbon solutions. These risks could adversely affect our reputation, financial condition or results of operations. The structure of our leasing contracts and operating model presents challenges in partnering with clients to implement necessary decarbonization initiatives.
Increased scrutiny and changing expectations from regulators and other stakeholders regarding sustainability practices and reporting could impact our business practices, cause us to incur additional costs and expose us to new risks.
We seek to promote effective energy efficiency and other sustainability strategies and compliance with federal, state and international laws and regulations related to climate change, both internally and with our partners across our value chain, including with our clients. Our sustainability strategies and efforts to comply with the various federal, state and international laws and regulations related to climate change could result in significant capital expenditures to improve our existing properties, properties we may acquire, and other business practices. Any changes to such laws and regulations could also result in increased operating costs or capital expenditures at our properties. If we are unable to comply with laws and regulations on climate change or implement effective sustainability strategies, our reputation among our clients and investors may be damaged and we may incur fines and/or penalties.
Tenants of net-leased properties are typically responsible for maintenance and other day-to-day management of the properties. This lack of control over our net-leased properties makes it difficult for us to collect property-level environmental data and to enforce related initiatives, which may impact our ability to comply with certain shareholder expectations or regulatory disclosure requirements to which we are subject or to comply with reporting frameworks or other established frameworks and standards. If we are unable to successfully collect the data necessary to comply with these disclosure requirements, standards or expectations, we may be subject to increased regulatory risk, of if such data is incomplete or unfavorable, our relationship with our investors or other stakeholders, our stock price, and our access to capital may be negatively impacted.

Additionally, our sustainability disclosures may reflect aspirational goals, targets, and other expectations and assumptions, which are necessarily uncertain and may not be realized. If we fail to satisfy the environmental, social, and governance expectations of investors, tenants and other stakeholders, our initiatives are not executed as planned, or we do not satisfy our goals, then our third-party ratings, reputation and financial results could be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that any of our sustainability strategies will result in reduced operating costs, higher occupancy or higher rental rates or deter our existing clients from relocating to properties owned by our competitors. In addition, both advocates and opponents to certain sustainability matters are increasingly resorting to a range of activism forms, including shareholder proposals, media campaigns and litigation, to advance their perspectives. To the extent we are subject to such activism, it may require us to incur costs or otherwise adversely impact our business. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have an adverse effect on the price of our stock and our financial condition and results of operations.
Our charter contains restrictions upon ownership of our common stock.
Our charter contains restrictions on ownership and transfer of our common stock intended to, among other purposes, assist us in maintaining our status as a REIT for U.S. federal and/or state income tax purposes. For example, our charter restricts any person from acquiring beneficial or constructive ownership of more than 9.8% (by value or by number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of our outstanding shares of common stock. These restrictions could have anti-takeover effects and could reduce the possibility that a third party will attempt to acquire control of us, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
The value of certain of our investment in real property may be reduced as the result of the expiration or loss of local tax abatements, tax credit programs, or other governmental incentives.
Certain of our investments have the benefit of governmental tax incentives aimed at inducing property users to relocate to incentivize development in areas and neighborhoods which have not historically seen robust commercial development. These incentives typically have specific sunset provisions and may be subject to governmental discretion in the eligibility or award of the applicable incentives. The expiration of these incentive programs or the inability of potential clients or users to be eligible for or to obtain governmental approval of the incentives, or the inability to remain compliant with such programs, may have an adverse effect on the value of our investment, cash flow and net income, and may result in impairment charges.
General Risk Factors
The market value of our capital stock and debt securities could be substantially affected by various factors.
The market value of our capital stock and debt securities will depend on many factors, which may change from time to time and may be outside of our control, including:
•Prevailing interest rates, increases in which may have an adverse effect on the market value of our capital stock and debt securities;
•The market for similar securities issued by other REITs;
•General economic, political and financial market conditions;
•The financial condition, performance and prospects of us, our clients and our competitors;
•Changes in tax, legal and regulatory obligations, including without limitation due to changes in federal, state, or local governing administrations;
•Litigation and regulatory proceedings;
•Changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts with respect to us, our competitors or our industry;
•Changes in our mix of investments and revenue-generating activities over time;
•Changes in our credit ratings;
•Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results of us and our competitors; and
•Failure to achieve the perceived benefits of our strategic acquisitions and/or engagement in new verticals, investment structures or other revenue-generating activities.
Prices of common stock and debt securities in the U.S., trading markets have experienced extreme price fluctuations, and the market values of our common stock and debt securities have also fluctuated significantly during this period. As a result of these and other factors, investors who purchase our capital stock and debt securities may experience a decrease, which could be substantial and rapid, in the market value of our capital stock and debt securities, including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects.

Table of Contents
Litigation risks could affect our business.
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings, lawsuits, and other claims including those that may arise out of mergers and acquisitions, acquisitions, development opportunities, dispositions, disputes with clients, joint ventures, funds, and other strategic transactions. An unfavorable resolution of litigation may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Regardless of its outcome, litigation may result in substantial costs and expenses and significantly divert the attention of management.
We depend on key personnel.
We depend on the efforts of our executive officers and key employees. The loss of the services of our executive officers and key employees could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition and on our ability to pay the principal and interest on our debt securities and other indebtedness and to make distributions to our stockholders. It is possible that we will not be able to recruit additional personnel with equivalent experience in the net lease industry or retain employees to the same extent as in the past.
Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, other acts of violence or war, or other unexpected events may affect the value of our debt and equity securities, the markets in which we operate and our results of operations.
Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, other acts of violence or war, or other unexpected events (e.g., pandemics or epidemics) may negatively affect our operations, the market price of our capital stock and the value of our debt securities. There can be no assurance that events like these will not occur or have a direct impact on our clients, our business or the U.S. or world generally. If events like these were to occur, they could materially interrupt our business operations, cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease or result in increased volatility in the U.S. and worldwide financial markets and economy. They also could result in or prolong an economic recession in the U.S. or abroad. Any of these occurrences could have a significant adverse impact on our operating results and revenues and on the market price of our capital stock and on the value of our debt securities. It could also have an adverse effect on our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt securities or other indebtedness and to make distributions to our stockholders.
We rely on information technology in our operations, and any material failure, inadequacy, interruption or security failure of that technology could harm our business.
We, like all businesses, are subject to cyber-attacks and security incidents, which threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems and information resources. Cyber-attacks are malicious cyber activity and a security incident is a successful cyber-attack that has the potential to expose sensitive data, internal systems, or otherwise disrupt business operations. Those attacks and incidents may be due to intentional or unintentional acts by employees, contractors or third-parties, who seek to gain unauthorized access to our or our service providers’ systems to disrupt operations, corrupt data, or steal confidential information through malware, computer viruses, ransomware, social engineering (e.g., phishing attachments to e-mails) or other vectors.
The risk of a cybersecurity breach or operational disruption, particularly through a cyber incident, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased, particularly as remote working has become more common. Our information technology (“IT”) networks and related systems are essential to the operation of our business and our ability to perform day-to-day operations and, in some cases, may be critical to the operations of certain of our clients. Although we make efforts to maintain the security and integrity of these types of IT networks and related systems, and we have implemented various measures to manage the risk of a security breach or disruption (such as the implementation of systems and/or vendors that provide constant monitoring of our IT networks and related systems for cyber-attacks and incidents); however, there can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging.
While we maintain some of our own critical IT networks and related systems, we depend on third-parties to provide important software, technologies, tools and a broad array of services and functions, such as payroll, human resources, electronic communications, data storage, and certain finance and treasury functions, among others. In the ordinary course of our business, we collect, process, transmit and store sensitive data, within our own systems and utilize those of third-party providers, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our clients, suppliers, business partners and investors, as well as personally identifiable information.
Our measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats may not be successful in preventing a security incident or data breach or limiting the effects of such a breach. This is particularly so because attack methodologies change frequently or are not recognized until launched, and we also may be unable to investigate or remediate incidents because attackers are increasingly using techniques and tools designed to circumvent controls, to avoid detection, and to remove or obfuscate forensic evidence.
19

Table of Contents
Our clients, joint venture partners, investors or other third parties with whom we do business may themselves become subject to cyberattacks or security incidents, over which we may have no control, and which could have an indirect adverse impact on them, us or our business relationship.
The primary risks that could directly result from the occurrence of a cyber attack or security incident include operational interruption, damage to our relationship with our clients, reputational damage, and private data exposure. We could be required to expend significant capital and other resources to address an attack or incident, which may not be covered or fully covered by our insurance and which may involve payments for investigations, forensic analyses, legal advice, public relations advice, system repair or replacement, or other services, in addition to any remedies or relief that may result from legal proceedings. Our financial results may be negatively impacted by any such attacks and incidents or any resulting negative media attention. Further, while we carry cyber liability insurance, such insurance may not be adequate to cover all losses related to such events.
Volatility in market and economic conditions may impact the accuracy of the various estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements and footnotes to the financial statements.
Various estimates are used in the preparation of our financial statements, including estimates related to asset and liability valuations (or potential impairments), and receivables. Often these estimates require the use of market data values and involve estimates of future performance or receivables collectability all of which can be difficult to accurately predict. Although management believes it has been prudent and used reasonable judgment in making these estimates, it is possible actual results may differ from these estimates.
Inherent limitations of internal controls over financial statements, disclosure controls and safeguarding of assets may adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
Our internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and our operating internal controls may not prevent or detect financial misstatements or loss of assets because of inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement and disclosure accuracy and safeguarding of assets. Failures in our internal controls could result in adverse consequences in our financial reporting and operations, including delays, additional costs, impairment of our ability to access capital, adverse impacts to investor confidence, regulatory review, or litigation.
Our business operations may not generate the cash needed to make distributions on our capital stock or to service our indebtedness.
Our ability to make distributions on our common stock and any outstanding preferred stock and payments on our indebtedness, and to fund planned acquisitions and capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. We cannot make any assurances that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to make distributions on our common stock and any outstanding preferred stock, to pay our indebtedness, or to fund our other liquidity needs.
Disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms and have other adverse effects on us, the market price of our common stock, and may make it more difficult or costly for us to raise capital.
Historically, there have been periods where the global equity and credit markets have experienced significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions, which have caused market prices of equity and debt securities to fluctuate substantially and the spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably. These circumstances have materially impacted liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive, and in certain cases have resulted in the unavailability of certain types of financing. Uncertainty in the equity and credit markets may negatively impact our ability to access additional financing at reasonable terms, which may adversely affect our ability to make acquisitions. A prolonged downturn in the equity or credit markets may cause us to refinance at higher rates, seek alternative sources of potentially less attractive financing, and may require us to adjust our business plan accordingly. In addition, these factors may make it more difficult for us to buy or sell properties, may adversely affect the price we purchase or receive for properties, as we and prospective buyers may experience increased costs of financing or difficulties in obtaining financing. These events in the equity and credit markets may make it more difficult or costly for us to raise capital through the issuance of common stock, preferred stock or debt securities. These disruptions in the financial markets also may have a material adverse effect on the market value of our common stock and debt securities, the income we receive from our properties and the lease rates we can charge for our properties, as well as other unknown adverse effects on us or the economy in general.

Table of Contents
Inflation (including prolonged inflationary periods) may adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Increased inflation or anticipated inflationary periods, such as the period in which we are currently in, could have a more pronounced negative impact on any variable rate debt we incur in the future and on our results of operations. During times when inflation is greater than increases in rent, as provided for in our leases, rent increases may not keep up with the rate of inflation and other costs (including increases in employment and other fees and expenses). Government regulations may limit the indices we can utilize in lease adjustments thereby limiting our ability to increase rent. Even though net leases are structured so as to reduce our exposure to rising property expenses due to inflation, substantial inflationary pressures and increased costs may have an adverse impact on our clients if increases in their operating expenses exceed increases in revenue, which may adversely affect our clients’ ability to pay rent. The U.K. government plans to migrate away from the Retail Price Index ("RPI"), to alternatives such as the Consumer Price Index including owner occupiers' housing costs, that may result in a lower measure of inflation and, in turn, have a negative impact on our lease revenue currently tied to RPI in the U.K. Inflationary periods may cause us to experience increased costs of financing, making it difficult to incur or refinance debt at attractive rates or at all, and may adversely affect the investments we make if the cost of financing is in excess of our anticipated earnings from such investment thereby limiting the investments we can make. To the extent periods of high inflation are prolonged, these results may be exacerbated.
We are subject to complex and changing laws, regulations, policies, and executive orders, which exposes us to potential liabilities, increased costs and other adverse effects on our business.
We are subject to complex and changing laws, regulations, policies, and executive orders, locally, internationally and federally, and the enforcement and interpretations thereof, and compliance with these laws, regulations, policies and executive orders is onerous and expensive. New and changing laws, regulations, policies, and executive orders, or the enforcement and interpretations thereof, can adversely affect our business in many ways, including by increasing costs, negatively impacting the creditworthiness of our existing or potential clients, changing the interpretations or enforceability of existing business relationships or agreements, creating legal liability or reputational harm to the Company or distractions for management, generating operational disruptions, and requiring changes to our business, strategies or operations. Changes in law, enforcement priorities, policy, and other actions that materially adversely affect our business may be announced with little or no advance notice and we may not be able to effectively mitigate all adverse impacts from such measures or ensure timely compliance. These changes could also expose us to significant fines, government investigations, litigation and reputational harm, all of which could be costly, result in distractions for management, adversely impact our operational results, and could alter our ability to execute on our strategic plans. All of these impacts could materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition.
Item 1B:                            Unresolved Staff Comments
There are no unresolved staff comments.
Item 1C:                          Cybersecurity
We maintain a cyber risk management program to identify, assess, manage, mitigate, and respond to cybersecurity threats. We design and assess our program based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) and use the NIST CSF as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business. The program is integrated within our enterprise risk management system and addresses our IT networks and related systems that are essential to the operation of our business.
We maintain controls and procedures, including third-party oversight procedures, and cybersecurity training for all employees on an annual basis, which are designed to ensure prompt escalation of cybersecurity incidents so that decisions regarding public disclosure and reporting of such incidents can be made by management in a timely manner.
We work with third parties that assist us to identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks, including professional services firms, consulting firms, threat intelligence service providers, and penetration testing firms.
Our cybersecurity program and designated incident response team are comprised of key employees, and third-party information security experts from leading cybersecurity incident response firms, who are responsible for efficiently and effectively responding to cybersecurity incidents. We have established comprehensive incident response and recovery plans and continue to evaluate the effectiveness of those plans.

We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. We face risks from cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. See “Risk Factors – We rely on information technology in our operations, and any material failure, inadequacy, interruption or security failure of that technology could harm our business.”
Cybersecurity Governance
The Board of Directors considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function, and the Audit Committee of our Board oversees Realty Income's cybersecurity and other information technology risk exposures and the steps taken by management to monitor and control such exposures. Our cybersecurity risk profile and cybersecurity program status are reported to the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis. In addition, management updates the Audit Committee, as necessary, regarding any material cybersecurity incidents, as well as any incidents with lesser impact potential. The Audit Committee reports to the full Board regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity, and the full Board also receives briefings from management on our cybersecurity risk management program, as appropriate.
Our management team, including the Cybersecurity Risk Committee chaired by our Head of IT and comprised of executive leaders across the Company, provides oversight, direction and guidance related to the cybersecurity risk management decisions and is responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. The team has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. Our management team has extensive experience implementing and operating cybersecurity technologies, policies, and procedures throughout various industries and includes a Certified Information Systems Security Professional with ISC2.
Our management team supervises efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include briefings from internal security personnel; threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the IT environment.

GENERAL
Realty Income (NYSE: O), an S&P 500 company, is real estate partner to the world's leading companies. Founded in 1969, we invest in diversified commercial real estate and, as of December 31, 2024, have a portfolio of over 15,600 properties in all 50 U.S. states, the U.K., and six other countries in Europe. We are known as “The Monthly Dividend Company®” and have a mission to invest in people and places to deliver dependable monthly dividends that increase over time. Since our founding, we have declared 656 consecutive monthly dividends and are a member of the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats® index for having increased our dividend for the last 30 consecutive years.
As of December 31, 2024, we owned or held interests in 15,621 properties, with approximately 339.4 million square feet of leasable space leased to 1,565 clients doing business in 89 separate industries. Of the 15,621 properties in our portfolio as of December 31, 2024, 15,316, or 98.0%, were single-client properties, and the remaining were multi–client properties. Our total portfolio had a weighted average remaining lease term (excluding rights to extend a lease at the option of the client) of approximately 9.3 years. Total portfolio annualized contractual rent (defined as the monthly aggregate cash amount charged to clients, inclusive of monthly base rent receivables) on our leases as of December 31, 2024 was $4.97 billion.
As of December 31, 2024, approximately 32.4% of our total portfolio annualized contractual rent came from properties leased to our investment grade clients, their subsidiaries or affiliated companies. As of December 31, 2024, our top 20 clients (based on percentage of total portfolio annualized contractual rent) represented approximately 36.4% of our annualized rent and 10 of these clients had investment grade credit ratings or were subsidiaries or affiliates of investment grade companies. Approximately 91% of our annualized retail contractual rent as of December 31, 2024, was derived from our clients with a service, non-discretionary, and/or low price point component to their business.
Unless otherwise specified, references to rental revenue in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are exclusive of reimbursements from clients for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses totaling $303.1 million, $274.2 million, and $184.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Table of Contents
The dividends paid per share during the year ended December 31, 2024 totaled $3.126, as compared to $3.051 during the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $0.075, or 2.5%.
The monthly dividend of $0.2680 per share represents a current annualized dividend of $3.216 per share, and an annualized dividend yield of 6.0% based on the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE of $53.41 on December 31, 2024. Although we expect to continue our policy of paying monthly dividends, we cannot guarantee that we will maintain our current level of dividends, that we will continue our pattern of increasing dividends per share, or what our actual dividend yield will be in any future period.

Portfolio Discussion
Leasing Results
At December 31, 2024, we had 205 properties available for lease or sale out of 15,621 properties in our portfolio, which represents a 98.7% occupancy rate based on the number of properties in our portfolio. Our property-level occupancy rates exclude properties with ancillary leases only, such as cell towers and billboards, and properties with possession pending, and include properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures. Below is a summary of our portfolio activity for the periods indicated below:
Three months ended December 31, 2024
Properties available for lease at September 30, 2024

(1)Includes scheduled and unscheduled expirations (including leases rejected in bankruptcy), as well as future expirations resolved in the periods indicated above.
During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the new annualized contractual rent on re-leases was $52.5 million, as compared to the previous annual rent of $48.9 million on the same units, representing a rent recapture rate of 107.4% on the units re-leased.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the new annualized contractual rent on re-leases was $184.0 million, as compared to the previous annual rent of $174.2 million on the same units, representing a rent recapture rate of 105.6% on the units re-leased.
As part of our re-leasing costs, we pay leasing commissions to unrelated, third-party real estate brokers consistent with the commercial real estate industry standard, and sometimes provide rent concessions to our clients. We do not consider the collective impact of the leasing commissions or rent concessions to our clients to be material to our financial position or results of operations.
Impact of Inflation
Leases generally provide for limited increases in rent as a result of fixed increases, increases in the consumer price index, retail price index in the case of certain leases in the U.K. (typically subject to ceilings), or increases in clients’ sales volumes. We expect that inflation will cause these lease provisions to result in rent increases over time. During times when inflation is greater than increases in rent, as provided for in the leases, rent increases may not keep up with the rate of inflation and other costs.
Moreover, our strategic focus on the use of net lease agreements reduces our exposure to rising property expenses due to inflation because the client is responsible for property expenses. Even though the utilization of net leases reduces our exposure to rising property expenses due to inflation, substantial inflationary pressures and increased costs may have an adverse impact on our clients if increases in their operating expenses exceed increases in revenue, which may adversely affect our clients' ability to pay rent. Additionally, inflationary periods may cause us to experience increased costs of financing, make it difficult to refinance debt at attractive rates or at all, and may adversely affect the properties we can acquire if the cost of financing an acquisition is in excess of our anticipated earnings from such property, thereby limiting the properties that can be acquired.

Impact of Real Estate and Capital Markets
In the commercial real estate market, property prices generally continue to fluctuate. Likewise, during certain periods, the global capital markets have experienced significant price volatility, dislocations, and liquidity disruptions, which may impact our access to and cost of capital. We continually monitor the commercial real estate and global capital markets carefully and, if required, will make decisions to adjust our business strategy accordingly.
Impact of Current Macroeconomic Conditions
We continue to monitor developments related to macroeconomic factors that could have an adverse impact on our business and our clients. Our clients face additional challenges, including potential changes in consumer confidence levels, behavior and spending and increased operational expenses, such as with respect to labor costs. The extent of the future effects on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and growth strategies is highly uncertain and will ultimately depend on future developments, none of which can be predicted.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2024, we had $3.7 billion of liquidity, which consists of cash and cash equivalents of $445.0 million, unsettled ATM forward equity of $91.8 million, and $3.1 billion of availability under our $4.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, net of $1.1 billion of borrowing on the revolving credit facility and after deducting $67.3 million in borrowings under our commercial paper programs. We use our unsecured revolving credit facility as a liquidity backstop for the repayment of the notes issued under our commercial paper programs.
Our primary cash obligations, for the current year and subsequent years, are included in the “Material Cash Requirements” table, which is presented later in this section. We expect to fund our operating expenses and other short-term liquidity requirements, including property acquisitions and development costs, payment of principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness, property improvements, re-leasing costs, and cash distributions to common stockholders, primarily through a combination of the following:
•Cash and cash equivalents;
•Future cash flows from operations;
•Issuances of common stock or debt, or other securities offerings;
•Additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility or commercial paper programs, which are backstopped by our credit facility;
•Short-term loans;
•Asset dispositions; and
•Credit investment repayments
In addition to these sources of liquidity, we are exploring various capital diversification initiatives, including the establishment of a third-party private capital open-end fund.
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash provided from operating activities, and borrowing capacity are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months. We intend, however, to use permanent or long-term capital to fund property acquisitions and to repay future borrowings under our credit facility and commercial paper programs.
Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
Our goal is to deliver dependable monthly dividends to our stockholders that increase over time. Historically, we have met our principal short-term and long-term capital needs, including the funding of high-quality real estate acquisitions, investments in loans to clients, property development, and capital expenditures by issuing common stock, long-term unsecured notes, and term loan borrowings. Over the long term, we believe that common stock should be the majority of our capital structure. We may issue common stock when we believe our share price is at a level that allows for the proceeds of an offering to be accretively invested into additional properties or to permanently finance properties that were initially financed by our revolving credit facility, commercial paper programs, or shorter-term debt securities. However, we cannot assure you that we will have access to the capital markets at all times and at terms that are acceptable to us.
Capitalization
As of December 31, 2024, our total capitalization was $74.9 billion. Total capitalization consisted of $47.8 billion of common equity (based on the December 31, 2024 closing price on the NYSE of $53.41 and assuming the conversion of 2.7 million common units of Realty Income, L.P.), and total outstanding borrowings of $27.2 billion on our revolving credit facility, commercial paper, term loans, mortgages payable, senior unsecured notes and bonds, and our proportionate share of unconsolidated entities' debt (excluding unamortized deferred financing costs, discounts, and premiums). Our total debt to capitalization was 36.3% at December 31, 2024.

Universal Shelf Registration
On February 16, 2024, we filed a new shelf registration statement with the SEC, which is effective for a term of three years and will expire in February 2027. In accordance with SEC rules, the amount of securities to be issued pursuant to this shelf registration statement was not specified when it was filed and there is no specific dollar limit. The securities covered by this registration statement include (1) common stock, (2) preferred stock, (3) debt securities, (4) depositary shares representing fractional interests in shares of preferred stock, (5) warrants to purchase debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, or depositary shares, and (6) any combination of these securities. We may periodically offer one or more of these securities in amounts, prices and on terms to be announced when and if these securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement, or other offering materials, at the time of any offering.
ATM Program
Under our current ATM program, which we entered into in August 2023, we may offer and sell up to 120.0 million shares of common stock (1) by us to, or through, a consortium of banks acting as our sales agents or (2) by a consortium of banks acting as forward sellers on behalf of any forward purchasers contemplated thereunder, in each case by means of ordinary brokers' transactions on the NYSE at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices or by any other methods permitted by applicable law.
As of December 31, 2024, there were approximately 1.8 million shares of unsettled common stock subject to forward sale confirmations through our ATM program, representing approximately $91.8 million in expected net proceeds, which have been executed at a weighted average price of $51.80 per share (assuming full physical settlement of all outstanding shares of common stock, subject to such forward sale agreements and certain assumptions made with respect to settlement dates). During the year ended December 31, 2024, we settled approximately 30.2 million shares of common stock previously sold pursuant to forward sale agreements through our ATM program for approximately $1.7 billion of net proceeds. As of December 31, 2024, we had 55.5 million shares remaining for future issuance under our ATM program. We anticipate maintaining the availability of our ATM program in the future, including the replenishment of authorized shares issuable thereunder.
Debt Financing Activities
At December 31, 2024, our total outstanding borrowings of revolving credit facility, commercial paper, term loans, mortgages payable, and senior unsecured notes and bonds were $26.5 billion, with a weighted average maturity of 5.8 years and a weighted average interest rate of 3.9%. As of December 31, 2024, approximately 96% of our total debt was fixed rate debt. See notes 7 through 10 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this annual report for additional information about our outstanding debt, along with our debt financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2024 below.

The amended and restated term loan agreements are fixed through interest rate swaps at a weighted average interest rate of 3.9%. Pursuant to the amended and restated term loan agreement, we borrowed $800.0 million in aggregate total borrowings, $300.0 million of which matures in August 2025 and $500.0 million of which matures in August 2027 (the “$800 million term loan agreement”). We also entered into an amended and restated term loan agreement pursuant to which we borrowed $500.0 million in aggregate total borrowings which matures in June 2025 (the “$500 million term loan agreement”).
Term Loan Redemption
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we repaid our $250.0 million senior unsecured term loan in full upon maturity.
Mortgage Repayments
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we made $740.5 million in principal payments, including the full repayment of five mortgages for $735.9 million.
Covenants
The following is a summary of the key financial covenants for our senior unsecured notes, as defined and calculated per the terms of our senior notes and bonds. These calculations, which are not based on U.S. GAAP, are presented to investors to show our ability to incur additional debt under the terms of our senior notes and bonds as well as to disclose our current compliance with such covenants and are not measures of our liquidity or performance. The actual amounts as of December 31, 2024, are:

Credit Agency Ratings
The borrowing interest rates under our revolving credit facility are based upon our ratings assigned by credit rating agencies. As of December 31, 2024, we were assigned the following investment grade corporate credit ratings on our senior unsecured notes and bonds: Moody’s Investors Service has assigned a rating of A3 with a “stable” outlook and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group has assigned a rating of A- with a “stable” outlook. In addition, we were assigned the following ratings on our commercial paper at December 31, 2024: Moody's Investors Service has assigned a rating of P-2 and Standard & Poor's Ratings Group has assigned a rating of A-2.
Based on our credit agency ratings as of December 31, 2024, interest rates under our credit facility for U.S. borrowings would have been at the SOFR, plus 0.725% with a SOFR adjustment charge of 0.10% and a revolving credit facility fee of 0.125%, for all-in drawn pricing of 0.95% over SOFR, for British Pound Sterling ("GBP") borrowings, at the SONIA, plus 0.725% with a SONIA adjustment charge of 0.0326% and a revolving credit facility fee of 0.125%, for all-in drawn pricing of 0.8826% over SONIA, and for Euro ("EUR") borrowings at one-month EURIBOR, plus 0.725%, and a revolving credit facility fee of 0.125%, for all-in drawn pricing of 0.85% over one-month EURIBOR. In addition, our credit facility provides that the interest rates can range between: (i) SOFR/SONIA/EURIBOR, plus 1.40% if our credit rating is lower than BBB-/Baa3 or our senior unsecured debt is unrated and (ii) SOFR/SONIA/EURIBOR, plus 0.70% if our credit rating is A/A2 or higher. In addition, our credit facility provides for a facility commitment fee based on our credit ratings, which ranges from: (i) 0.30% for a rating lower than BBB-/Baa3 or unrated, and (ii) 0.10% for a credit rating of A/A2 or higher.
We also issue senior debt securities from time to time and our credit ratings can impact the interest rates charged in those transactions. If our credit ratings or ratings outlook change, our cost to obtain debt financing could increase or decrease. The credit ratings assigned to us could change based upon, among other things, our results of operations and financial condition. These ratings are subject to ongoing evaluation by credit rating agencies, and we cannot assure you that our ratings will not be changed or withdrawn by a rating agency in the future if, in its judgment, circumstances warrant. Moreover, a rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold our debt securities, or common stock.

(1) The initial term of the credit facility expires in June 2026 and includes, at our option, two six-month extensions. At December 31, 2024, there were $1,062.9 million of outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and commercial paper programs outstanding were $67.3 million, which mature between January 2025 and March 2025.
(2) Interest on the commercial paper programs, term loans, mortgages payable, and senior unsecured notes and bonds has been calculated based on outstanding balances at period end through their respective maturity dates.
(3) We currently pay the ground lessors directly for the rent under certain ground lease arrangements.
(4) Our clients, who are generally sub-tenant clients under ground leases, are responsible for paying the rent under these ground leases. In the event our client fails to pay the ground lease rent, we are primarily responsible.
(5) “Other” consists of $683.3 million of commitments under construction contracts, $93.5 million for tenant improvements, re-leasing costs, recurring capital expenditures, and non-recurring building improvements, and $11.5 million for contingent purchase consideration obligations related to leasing activities for a multi-tenant property acquired.
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
As of December 31, 2024, our pro-rata share of secured debt of unconsolidated entities was approximately $659.2 million.

DIVIDEND POLICY
Distributions are paid monthly to holders of shares of our common stock.
Distributions are paid monthly to the limited partners holding common units of Realty Income, L.P., each on a per unit basis that is equal to the amount paid per share to our common stockholders (subject to the adjustment factor applicable to those units at the time of such distribution).
In order to maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we generally are required to distribute dividends to our stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our taxable income (excluding net capital gains), and we are subject to income tax to the extent we distribute less than 100% of our taxable income (including net capital gains). In 2024, our cash distributions to common stockholders totaled $2.69 billion, or approximately 126.1% of our estimated taxable income of $2.13 billion. Certain measures are available to us to reduce or eliminate our tax exposure as a REIT, and accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes, other than our taxable REIT subsidiaries (each, a "TRS"), has been made. Our estimated taxable income reflects non-cash deductions for depreciation and amortization. Our estimated taxable income is presented to show our compliance with REIT dividend requirements and is not a measure of our liquidity or operating performance. We intend to continue to make distributions to our stockholders that are sufficient to meet this dividend requirement and that will reduce or eliminate our exposure to income taxes. Furthermore, we believe our cash on hand and funds from operations are sufficient to support our current level of cash distributions to our stockholders. We distributed $3.126 per share to stockholders during the year ended December 31, 2024, representing 74.6% of our diluted Adjusted Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders ("AFFO") per share of $4.19.
Future distributions will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders ("FFO"), Normalized Funds from Operations Available to Common Stockholders ("Normalized FFO"), AFFO, cash flow from operations, financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, our debt service requirements, and any other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, our credit facility contains financial covenants that could limit the amount of distributions payable by us in the event of a default, and which prohibit the payment of distributions on our common stock in the event that we fail to pay when due (subject to any applicable grace period) any principal or interest on borrowings under our credit facility.
Distributions of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes generally will be taxable to stockholders as ordinary income, except to the extent that we recognize capital gains and declare a capital gains dividend, or that such amounts constitute “qualified dividend income” subject to a reduced rate of tax. The maximum tax rate of non-corporate taxpayers for “qualified dividend income” is generally 20%. In general, dividends payable by REITs are not eligible for the reduced tax rate on qualified dividend income, except to the extent that certain holding requirements have been met with respect to the REIT’s stock and the REIT’s dividends are attributable to dividends received from certain taxable corporations (such as our TRSs) or to income that was subject to tax at the corporate or REIT level (for example, if we distribute taxable income that we retained and paid tax on in the prior taxable year). However, non-corporate stockholders, including individuals, generally may deduct up to 20% of dividends from a REIT, other than capital gain dividends and dividends treated as qualified dividend income, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2026.
Distributions in excess of earnings and profits generally will first be treated as a non-taxable reduction in the stockholders’ basis in their stock, but not below zero. Distributions in excess of that basis generally will be taxable as a capital gain to stockholders. Approximately 30.4% of the distributions to our common stockholders, made or deemed to have been made in 2024, were classified as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes.

(1)The same store rental revenue percentage increased by 0.5% for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared with the same period in 2023.
(2)For purposes of comparability, same store rental revenue is presented on a constant currency basis using the exchange rate as of December 31, 2024. None of the properties in France, Germany, Ireland, or Portugal met our same store pool definition for the periods presented. In addition, the same store pool excludes properties assumed on January 23, 2024 as a result of the Merger.
(3)Relates to the aggregate of (i) rental revenue from 315 properties that were available for lease during part of 2024 or 2023 for the year ended December 31, 2024, and (ii) rental revenue for 50 properties under development or completed developments that do not meet our same store pool definition for the year ended December 31, 2024.
(4)"Other excluded revenue" primarily consists of reimbursements for tenant improvements and rental revenue that is not contractual base rent such as lease termination settlements.
For purposes of determining the same store rent property pool, we include all properties that were owned for the entire year-to-date period, for both the current and prior year, except for properties during the current or prior year that; (i) were vacant at any time, (ii) were under development or redevelopment, or (iii) were involved in eminent domain and rent was reduced. Each of the exclusions from the same store pool are separately addressed within the applicable sentences above, explaining the changes in rental revenue for the period.
Of the 16,694 in-place leases in the portfolio, 13,734, or 82.3%, were under leases that provide for increases in rents through: base rent increases tied to inflation (typically subject to ceilings), percentage rent based on a percentage of the clients’ gross sales, fixed increases, or a combination of two or more of the aforementioned rent provisions.
Rent based on a percentage of our clients' gross sales, or percentage rent, was $16.0 million and $14.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Percentage rent represents less than 1% of rental revenue.
At December 31, 2024, our portfolio of 15,621 properties was 98.7% leased with 205 properties available for lease or sale, as compared to 98.6% leased with 193 properties available for lease at December 31, 2023. It has been our experience that approximately 1% to 4% of our property portfolio will be available for lease at any given time; however, it is possible that the number of properties available for lease or sale could increase in the future, given the nature of economic cycles and other unforeseen global events.

Rental Revenue (reimbursable)
A number of our leases provide for contractually obligated reimbursements from clients for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses. Contractually obligated reimbursements by our clients increased by $28.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared with the same period in 2023, primarily due to the growth of our portfolio due to acquisitions; partially offset by lower recoverable taxes as a result of a modification of tax remittance terms with a client in the prior year.

Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased by $500.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared with the same period in 2023, primarily due to the Merger and the acquisitions of properties in 2023 and 2024, which were partially offset by property dispositions. Real estate assets acquired in the Merger contributed an additional $413.4 million of depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Average outstanding balances $ 25,508,037 $ 20,537,222
Weighted average interest rates 4.07  % 3.83  %
Interest expense increased by $286.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared with the same period in 2023, primarily due to higher average borrowings and weighted average interest rates. Included in the overall increase, $67.4 million was from lower non-cash amortization of debt discounts and premiums, primarily due to the amortization of the discount recorded to reflect the fair value of senior notes exchanged in the Merger. These increases were partially offset by higher capitalized interest driven by increased development activity. See notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements contained in this annual report for additional information regarding our indebtedness.
Property Expenses (excluding reimbursable)
Property expenses (excluding reimbursable) consist of costs associated with properties available for lease, non-net-leased properties and general portfolio expenses and include, but are not limited to, property taxes, maintenance, insurance, utilities, property inspections and legal fees.
Property expenses (excluding reimbursable) increased by $31.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared with the same period in 2023, primarily due to a higher number of properties available for lease compared with the same periods in 2023, in addition to acquisitions in 2023 and 2024 in which the lease terms do not obligate the tenant to pay certain expenses, which resulted in higher repairs and maintenance costs, property insurance and taxes.
Property Expenses (reimbursable)
Property expenses (reimbursable) consist of reimbursable property taxes and operating costs paid on behalf of our clients. Property expenses (reimbursable) increased by $28.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared with the same period in 2023 primarily due to an increase in portfolio size, resulting in higher common area maintenance, property taxes, and insurance expenses paid on behalf of our clients.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $32.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared with the same period in 2023, primarily due to higher employee costs of $19.6 million and higher professional fees of $7.9 million as we continue to invest in our people and our platform.

Provisions for Impairment
The following table summarizes our provisions for impairment during the periods indicated below (in millions):
Years ended December 31,
2024 2023
Provisions for impairment of real estate $ 319.0  $ 82.2 
Provision for credit losses 106.8  4.9 
Provisions for impairment $ 425.8  $ 87.1 
Provisions for impairment increased by $338.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared with the same period in 2023, as a result of increases of $236.8 million in impairment of real estate, primarily due to a higher number of properties impaired under the held for sale model, and $101.9 million in higher credit losses recognized on financing receivables for distressed clients accounted for under sales leaseback transactions.
Merger, Transaction, and Other Costs, Net
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred $96.3 million of merger, transaction, and other costs, net consisting of $86.7 million of transaction and integration-related costs related to Spirit, which largely consisted of employee severance, post-combination share-based compensation, transfer taxes, and various professional fees directly attributable to the Merger, as well as $5.1 million related to the lease termination of a legacy corporate facility, and $4.5 million of organization costs incurred related to our private fund.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, we incurred $14.5 million of merger, transaction, and other costs, net, the majority of which was related to the Merger that closed in January 2024.
Gain on Sales of Real Estate
The following summarizes our property dispositions (dollars in millions):
Years ended December 31,
2024 2023
Number of properties sold 294  121 
Net sales proceeds $ 589.5  $ 117.4 
Gain on sales of real estate $ 117.3  $ 25.7 
Foreign Currency and Derivative Gain (Loss), Net
We borrow in the functional currencies of the countries in which we invest. Net foreign currency gain and loss are primarily related to the remeasurement of intercompany debt from foreign subsidiaries and outstanding borrowings denominated in the local currencies we invest in. Derivative gain and loss are primarily related to mark-to-market adjustments on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting and settlement of designated derivatives reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI").
Foreign currency and derivative gain (loss), net was a $3.4 million gain for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared $13.4 million loss with the same period in 2023, primarily due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the remeasurement of intercompany debt.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Entities
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities was $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities is due to an increase in our joint venture investments.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net decreased by $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared with the same period in 2023, primarily due to lower gains on insurance proceeds, largely offset by higher interest on short-term investments.
Income Taxes
Income taxes primarily consist of international income taxes accrued or paid by us and our subsidiaries, as well as state and local taxes. The increase of $14.6 million in income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared with the same period in 2023 is primarily attributable to higher taxable income in the U.K.

Preferred Stock Dividends
The increase in preferred stock dividends of $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared with the same period in 2023 is due to the issuance of Realty Income Series A Preferred Stock in connection with the Merger.
Excess of Redemption Value over Carrying Value of Preferred Shares Redeemed
In September 2024, we redeemed all 6.9 million of Realty Income Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. The excess of the $25.00 liquidation price per share over the carrying value of Realty Income Series A Preferred Stock redeemed resulted in a loss on redemption of $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are the basis for our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. Preparing our consolidated financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. We believe that we have made these estimates and assumptions in an appropriate manner and in a way that accurately reflects our financial condition. We continually test and evaluate these estimates and assumptions using our historical knowledge of the business, as well as other factors, to ensure that they are reasonable for reporting purposes. However, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. This summary should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of our accounting policies and procedures included in note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements in this annual report. In order to prepare our consolidated financial statements according to the rules and guidelines set forth by U.S. GAAP, many subjective judgments must be made with regard to critical accounting policies. We believe the following are our most critical accounting policies and estimates:
Allocation of the Purchase Price of Real Estate Acquisitions
Management must make significant assumptions in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We evaluate whether or not substantially all of the value of acquired assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of identifiable assets to determine whether a transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition or a business combination. A majority of our acquisitions qualify as asset acquisitions and the transaction costs associated with those acquisitions are capitalized. However, for transactions that qualify as business combinations, such as the Merger, we expense the transaction costs and categorize them as merger, transaction, and other costs, net in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. For business combinations, we recognize the amount of any purchase consideration that exceeds the fair value of all identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill and may record measurement period adjustments within one year of the acquisition date as permitted under ASC 805, Business Combinations (for more details see note 2, Merger with Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. to our consolidated financial statements contained in this annual report).
For asset acquisitions, we allocate the cost of real estate acquired, inclusive of transaction costs, to: (1) land, (2) building and improvements, and (3) identified intangible assets and liabilities, based in each case on their relative estimated fair values. For business combinations, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value. The difference between the purchase consideration and the aggregated fair value is recognized as goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase. Intangible assets and liabilities consist of above-market or below-market lease value and the value of in-place leases, as applicable. Additionally, above-market rents on leases acquired through sale-leaseback transactions under which we are a lessor are accounted for as financing receivables amortizing over the lease term, while below-market rents on leases under which we are a lessor are accounted for as prepaid rent. In an acquisition of multiple properties, we must also allocate the purchase price among the properties. The allocation of the purchase price is based on our assessment of estimated fair value of the land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities and is often based upon the various characteristics of the market where the property is located. In addition, any assumed mortgages are recorded at their estimated fair values. The estimated fair values of our mortgages payable have been calculated by discounting the future cash flows using applicable interest rates that have been adjusted for factors, such as industry type, client investment grade, maturity date, and comparable borrowings for similar assets. The use of different assumptions in the allocation of the purchase price of the acquired properties and liabilities assumed could affect the timing of recognition of the related revenue and expenses.

Provisions for Impairment - Real Estate Assets
Management must make significant judgment as to if, and when, impairment losses should be taken on our properties when events or a change in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If estimated future operating cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) plus estimated disposition proceeds (undiscounted) are less than the current book value of the property, a fair value analysis is performed and, to the extent the estimated fair value is less than the current book value, a provision for impairment is recorded to reduce the book value to estimated fair value. Key inputs that we utilize in this analysis include projected rental rates, estimated holding periods, capital expenditures, and property sales capitalization rates. If a property is held for sale, it is carried at the lower of carrying cost or estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell. The carrying value of our real estate is the largest component of our consolidated balance sheets. Our strategy of primarily holding properties, long-term, directly decreases the likelihood of their carrying values not being recoverable, thus requiring the recognition of an impairment. However, if our strategy, or one or more of the above assumptions were to change in the future, an impairment may need to be recognized. If events should occur that require us to reduce the carrying value of our real estate by recording provisions for impairment, they could have a material impact on our results of operations.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate ("Adjusted EBITDAre")
Nareit established an EBITDA metric for real estate companies (i.e., EBITDA for real estate, or EBITDAre) it believed would provide investors with a consistent measure to help make investment decisions among REITs. Our definition of “Adjusted EBITDAre” is generally consistent with the Nareit definition, other than our adjustment to remove foreign currency and derivative gain and loss and merger, transaction, and other costs, net. We define Adjusted EBITDAre, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the most recent quarter as earnings (net income) before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) provisions for impairment, (v) merger, transaction, and other costs, net, (vi) gain on sales of real estate, (vii) foreign currency and derivative gain and loss, net, and (viii) our proportionate share of adjustments from unconsolidated entities. Our Adjusted EBITDAre may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDAre reported by other companies or as defined by Nareit, and other companies may interpret or define Adjusted EBITDAre differently than we do. Management believes Adjusted EBITDAre to be a meaningful measure of a REIT’s performance because it provides a view of our operating performance, analyzes our ability to meet interest payment obligations before the effects of income tax, depreciation and amortization expense, provisions for impairment, gain on sales of real estate and other items, as defined above, that affect comparability, including the removal of non-recurring and non-cash items that industry observers believe are less relevant to evaluating the operating performance of a company. In addition, EBITDAre is widely followed by industry analysts, lenders, investors, rating agencies, and others as a means of evaluating the operational cash generating capacity of a company prior to servicing debt obligations. Management also believes the use of an annualized quarterly Adjusted EBITDAre metric, which we refer to as Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, is meaningful because it represents our current earnings run rate for the period presented. Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre, as defined below, are also used to determine the vesting of performance share awards granted to executive officers. Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to net income as a measure of our operating performance. We define Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre as Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, subject to certain adjustments to incorporate Adjusted EBITDAre from investments we acquired or stabilized during the applicable quarter and to remove Adjusted EBITDAre from investments we disposed of during the applicable quarter, and include transaction accounting adjustments in accordance with U.S. GAAP, giving pro forma effect to all transactions as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable period. Our calculation includes all adjustments consistent with the requirements to present Adjusted EBITDAre on a pro forma basis in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The Annualized Pro Forma Adjustments are consistent with the debt service coverage ratio calculated under financial covenants for our senior unsecured notes. We believe Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre is a useful non-GAAP supplemental measure, as it excludes investments that were no longer owned at the balance sheet date and includes the annualized rent from investments acquired during the quarter. Management also uses our ratios of Net Debt/Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre and Net Debt/Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre as measures of leverage in assessing our financial performance, which is calculated as net debt (which we define as total debt per the consolidated balance sheets, excluding deferred financing costs and net premiums and discounts, but including our proportionate share of debt from unconsolidated entities, less cash and cash equivalents), divided by annualized quarterly Adjusted EBITDAre and annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre, respectively.

As described above, the Annualized Pro Forma Adjustments, which include transaction accounting adjustments in accordance with U.S. GAAP, consist of adjustments to incorporate the Adjusted EBITDAre from investments we acquired or stabilized during the applicable quarter and remove Adjusted EBITDAre from investments we disposed of during the applicable quarter, giving pro forma effect to all transactions as if they occurred at the beginning of the period, consistent with the requirements of Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The annualized Pro Forma Adjustments are consistent with the debt service coverage ratio calculated under financial covenants for our senior unsecured notes.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS ("FFO") AND NORMALIZED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS ("Normalized FFO")
We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts' definition, as net income available to common stockholders, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, plus provisions for impairments of depreciable real estate assets, and reduced by gain on property sales. We define Normalized FFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, as FFO excluding merger, transaction, and other costs, net. We define diluted FFO and diluted normalized FFO as FFO and normalized FFO adjusted for dilutive noncontrolling interests.

Weighted average number of common shares used for FFO and Normalized FFO:
Basic 862,959  692,298 
Diluted 865,842  694,819 
We consider FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate supplemental measures of a REIT’s operating performance as they are based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that adds back items such as depreciation and impairments for FFO, and adds back merger, transaction, and other costs, net, for Normalized FFO. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative.

ADJUSTED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS ("AFFO")
We define AFFO, a non-GAAP measure, as FFO adjusted for unique revenue and expense items, which we believe are not as pertinent to the measurement of our ongoing operating performance. We define diluted AFFO as AFFO adjusted for dilutive noncontrolling interests.
The following summarizes our AFFO (in millions, except per share data):

We consider AFFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our performance. Most companies in our industry use a similar measurement, but they may use the term “CAD” (for Cash Available for Distribution), “FAD” (for Funds Available for Distribution) or other terms. Our AFFO calculations may not be comparable to AFFO, CAD or FAD reported by other companies, and other companies may interpret or define such terms differently than we do.

We believe the non-GAAP financial measure AFFO provides useful information to investors because it is a widely accepted industry measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that is used by industry analysts and investors who look at and compare those companies. In particular, AFFO provides an additional measure to compare the operating performance of different REITs without having to account for differing depreciation assumptions and other unique revenue and expense items which are not pertinent to measuring a particular company’s on-going operating performance. Therefore, we believe that AFFO is an appropriate supplemental performance metric, and that the most appropriate U.S. GAAP performance metric to which AFFO should be reconciled is net income available to common stockholders. Presentation of the information regarding FFO, Normalized FFO, and AFFO is intended to assist the reader in comparing the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO, Normalized FFO, and AFFO in the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful.

Table of Contents
Furthermore, FFO, Normalized FFO, and AFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indication of our performance. FFO, Normalized FFO, and AFFO should not be considered as alternatives to reviewing our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities. In addition, FFO, Normalized FFO, and AFFO should not be considered as measures of liquidity, our ability to make cash distributions, or our ability to pay interest payments.
Item 7A:    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to economic risks from interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. A portion of these risks is hedged, but the risks may affect our financial statements.
Interest Rates
We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our credit facility and commercial paper programs, term loans, mortgages payable, and long-term notes and bonds used to maintain liquidity and expand our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flow and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we issue long-term notes and bonds, primarily at fixed rates.
In order to mitigate and manage the effects of interest rate risks on our operations, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, interest rate locks and caps. The use of these types of instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates carries additional risks, including counterparty credit risk, the enforceability of hedging contracts and the risk that unanticipated and significant changes in interest rates will cause a significant loss of basis in the contract. To limit counterparty credit risk, we will seek to enter into such agreements with major financial institutions with favorable credit ratings. There can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately protect against the foregoing risks or realize an economic benefit that exceeds the related amounts incurred in connection with engaging in such hedging activities. We do not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
The following table presents, by year of expected maturity, the principal amounts, average interest rates and estimated fair values of our fixed and variable rate debt as of December 31, 2024. This information is presented to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes.

(2)Excludes net premiums and discounts recorded on mortgages payable, net premiums and discounts recorded on notes payable, and deferred financing costs on term loans, mortgages payable, notes payable.
(3)We base the estimated fair value of our fixed rate mortgages and private senior notes payable at December 31, 2024, on the relevant forward interest rate curve, plus an applicable credit-adjusted spread. We base the estimated fair value of the publicly traded fixed rate senior notes and bonds at December 31, 2024, on the indicative market prices and recent trading activity of our senior notes and bonds payable. We believe that the carrying values of the line of credit, commercial paper borrowings, and term loans reasonably approximate their estimated fair values at December 31, 2024.
The table above incorporates only those exposures that exist as of December 31, 2024. It does not consider those exposures or positions that could arise after that date. As a result, our ultimate realized gain or loss, with respect to interest rate fluctuations, would depend on the exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at the time, and interest rates.
44

Table of Contents
At December 31, 2024, our outstanding mortgages payable, notes, and bonds had fixed interest rates. Interest on our credit facility and commercial paper borrowings and term loans is variable. However, the variable interest rate feature on our term loans have been mitigated by interest rate swap agreements. At December 31, 2024, a 1% change in interest rates on our variable-rate debt would change our interest rate costs by $11.3 million.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange variability related to investments in and earnings from our foreign investments. Foreign currency market risk is the possibility that our results of operations or financial position could be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We primarily hedge our foreign currency risk by borrowing in the currencies in which we invest thereby providing a natural hedge. We continuously evaluate and manage our foreign currency risk through the use of derivative financial instruments, including currency exchange swaps, and foreign currency forward contracts with financial counterparties where practicable. Such derivative instruments are viewed as risk management tools and are not used for speculative or trading purposes. Additionally, our inability to redeploy rent receipts from our international operations on a timely basis subjects us to foreign exchange risk.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Realty Income Corporation:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Realty Income Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and financial statement schedule III (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 25, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Evaluation of the Fair Value of Acquired Land
As discussed in Notes 2 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, during 2024 the Company acquired $10.1 billion of real estate properties. As discussed in Note 1, the purchase price of a real estate acquisition is typically allocated among the individual components of both tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values.

We identified the evaluation of the fair value of acquired land as a critical audit matter. Specifically, the measurement of the fair values of land is dependent upon significant assumptions of market land values for which relevant external market data is not always readily available. Subjective auditor judgment was required in evaluating the fair value measurements given the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in these assumptions.

47

Table of Contents
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s process to allocate the purchase price of real estate acquisitions. This included controls over the measurement of the fair value of land. For a selection of real estate acquisitions, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in evaluating a selection of the Company’s acquired land values by comparing them to independently developed ranges using market data from industry transaction databases and published industry reports.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Realty Income Corporation:
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Realty Income Corporation and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and financial statement schedule III (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 25, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REALTY INCOME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2024

1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Realty Income Corporation (“Realty Income,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), a Maryland corporation, is an S&P 500 company and real estate partner to the world's leading companies. The Company was founded in 1969 and our shares of common stock trade on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol “O”.
As of December 31, 2024, we owned or held interests in a diversified portfolio of 15,621 properties located in all 50 states of the United States ("U.S."), the United Kingdom ("U.K."), and six other countries in Europe, with approximately 339.4 million square feet of leasable space.
In January 2024, we completed our merger (the "Merger") with Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. (“Spirit”). For more details, please see note 2, Merger with Spirit Realty Capital, Inc.
Information with respect to number of properties, leasable square feet, average initial lease term and initial weighted average cash yield is unaudited.
Basis of Presentation. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The U.S. Dollar ("USD") is our reporting currency. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in USD.
For our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the USD, we translate their financial statements into USD at the time we consolidate those subsidiaries’ financial statements. Generally, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are included in 'Accumulated other comprehensive income' ("AOCI") on our consolidated balance sheets. Certain balance sheet items, primarily equity and capital-related accounts, are reflected at the historical exchange rate. Income statement accounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the period.
We and certain of our consolidated subsidiaries have intercompany and third-party debt that is not denominated in our functional currency. When the debt is remeasured to the functional currency of the entity, a gain or loss can result. The resulting adjustment is reflected in 'Foreign currency and derivative gain (loss), net' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. In the statement of cash flows, cash flows denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the respective cash flows or at average exchange rates for the period, depending on the nature of the cash flow items.
Principles of Consolidation. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Realty Income and all other entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. We evaluate whether we have a controlling financial interest in an entity in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, Consolidation.
Voting interest entities ("VOEs") are entities considered to have sufficient equity at risk and which the equity holders have the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to make decisions about the entity’s activities. We consolidate voting interest entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, which we typically have through holding of a majority of the entity’s voting equity interests.
Variable interest entities ("VIEs") are entities that lack sufficient equity at risk or where the equity holders either do not have the obligation to absorb losses, do not have the right to receive residual returns, do not have the right to make decisions about the entity’s activities, or some combination of the above. A controlling financial interest in a VIE is present when an entity has a variable interest, or a combination of variable interests, that provides the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. An entity that meets both conditions above is deemed the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE. We reassess our initial evaluation of whether an entity is a VIE when certain reconsideration events occur. We reassess our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis based on current facts and circumstances.
54

Table of Contents
At December 31, 2024, we are considered the primary beneficiary of Realty Income, L.P. and certain investments, including investments in joint ventures. Below is a summary of selected financial data of such consolidated VIEs, included on our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):
December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Net real estate
$ 2,882,135 $ 2,866,272 
Total assets
$ 3,461,843 $ 3,588,720 
Total liabilities
$ 131,096 $ 134,366 
The portion of a consolidated entity not owned by us is recorded as a noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interests are reflected on our consolidated balance sheets as a component of equity. Noncontrolling interests that were created or assumed as part of a business combination or asset acquisition were recognized at fair value as of the date of the transaction. For further details, see note 11, Noncontrolling Interests.
Use of Estimates. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net Income per Common Share. Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders, plus income attributable to dilutive shares and convertible common units for the period, by the weighted average number of common shares that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares for all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the reporting period. For more detail, see note 18, Net Income per Common Share.
Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. We consider all short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and have an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash includes cash proceeds from the sale of assets held by qualified intermediaries in anticipation of the acquisition of replacement properties in tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, impounds related to mortgages payable and cash that is not immediately available to Realty Income (i.e. escrow deposits for future acquisitions).
Cash accounts maintained on behalf of Realty Income in demand deposits at commercial banks and money market funds may exceed federally insured levels or may be held in accounts without any federal insurance or any other insurance or guarantee. However, Realty Income has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Income Taxes. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. We believe we have qualified and continue to qualify as a REIT. Under the REIT operating structure, we are permitted to deduct dividends paid to our stockholders in determining our taxable income. Assuming our dividends equal or exceed our taxable net income in the U.S., we generally will not be required to pay U.S. income taxes on such income. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, except for federal income taxes of our taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS"). A TRS is a subsidiary of a REIT that is subject to federal, state and local income taxes, as applicable. Our use of TRS entities enables us to engage in certain business activities while complying with the REIT qualification requirements and to retain any income generated by these businesses for reinvestment without the requirement to distribute those earnings. We are liable for taxes in our applicable international territories and have made the appropriate provisions in those territories. Therefore, the income taxes recorded in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income represent amounts for U.S. income taxes on our TRS entities, city and state income and franchise taxes, as well as income taxes for the applicable international territories.
We recognize deferred income tax in our taxable subsidiaries, including certain international jurisdictions. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are generally the result of temporary differences between book and tax accounting, such as timing differences caused by different useful lives used for depreciation. We provide for a valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets if we believe some or all of the deferred income tax assets may not be realized. As of December 31, 2024, we had $3.5 million of net deferred tax liabilities, which are reported in 'Other liabilities' on our consolidated balance sheets.
55

Table of Contents
Earnings and profits that determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes primarily due to differences in the estimated useful lives and methods used to compute depreciation and the carrying value (basis) of the investments in properties for tax purposes, among other things.
We regularly analyze our various international, federal and state filing positions and only recognize the income tax effect in our financial statements when certain criteria regarding uncertain income tax positions have been met. We believe that our income tax positions would more likely than not be sustained upon examination by all relevant taxing authorities. Therefore, no provisions for uncertain tax positions have been recorded on our consolidated financial statements.
Lease Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable. The majority of our leases are accounted for as operating leases. Under this method, leases that have fixed and determinable rent increases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Any rental revenue contingent upon our client’s sales, or percentage rent, is recognized only after our client exceeds their sales breakpoint. Rental increases based upon changes in the consumer price indices are recognized only after the changes in the indexes have occurred and are then applied according to the lease agreements. Contractually obligated rental revenue from our clients for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses are included in contractually obligated reimbursements by our clients, a component of rental revenue, in the period when such costs are incurred. Taxes and operating expenses paid directly by our clients are recorded on a net basis.
Other revenue includes certain property-related revenue not included in rental revenue and interest income recognized on financing receivables for certain leases with above-market terms.
We assess the probability of collecting substantially all of the lease payments to which we are entitled under the original lease contract as required under ASC 842, Leases. We assess the collectability of our future lease payments based on an analysis of creditworthiness, economic trends and other facts and circumstances related to the applicable clients. If we conclude the collection of substantially all of lease payments under a lease is less than probable, rental revenue recognized for that lease is limited to cash received going forward, existing operating lease receivables, including those related to straight-line rental revenue, must be written off as an adjustment to rental revenue, and no further operating lease receivables are recorded for that lease until such future determination is made that substantially all lease payments under that lease are now considered probable. If we subsequently conclude that the collection of substantially all lease payments under a lease is probable, a reversal of lease receivables previously written off is recognized.
Loans Receivable. Our acquired loans are classified as held for investment and are carried at their amortized cost basis. We recognize interest income on loans receivable using a method that approximates the effective-interest method. Direct costs associated with originating loans, along with any premium or discount, are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to interest income over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. When management identifies the full recovery of the contractually specified payments of principal and interest of a loan is less than probable, we evaluate the expected loss amount and place it on non-accrual status. We made the accounting policy election to record accrued interest on our loan portfolio separate from our loan receivable and other lending investments. These loans and the related interest receivable are presented in 'Other assets, net' on our consolidated balance sheets.
Financing Receivables. For properties we acquire that qualify as sale-leaseback transactions and for which the purchase price is in excess of the fair value of the real estate acquired, the difference is accounted for as financing receivables, presented within 'Other assets, net' on our consolidated balance sheets. Rent payments are allocated between rental income and the financing receivable. Interest income on the financing receivable is recognized using the interest rate implicit in the leaseback and presented within 'Other' revenue in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses, which is recorded as a reduction to loans receivable and financing receivable within 'Other assets, net' on our consolidated balance sheets, is measured using a probability of default method based on our clients' respective credit ratings, our historical experience, and the expected value of the underlying collateral upon its repossession. If we determine a financing receivable no longer shares risk characteristics with other financing receivables in the pool, we evaluate the financing receivable for expected credit losses on an individual basis. Included in our model are factors that incorporate forward-looking information. Changes in our allowance for credit losses are presented in 'Provisions for impairment' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. For further details, see note 6, Investments in Loans and Financing Receivables.

Table of Contents
Merger, Transaction, and Other Costs, Net. Merger, transaction, and other costs, net include (i) merger-related transaction costs, primarily consisting of employee severance, post-combination share-based compensation, transfer taxes, and various professional fees directly attributable to a merger, (ii) organization costs for potential strategic ventures and business lines, (iii) corporate facilities lease termination costs, and (iv) other costs that do not align with the ongoing operations of our business. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred $96.3 million of merger, transaction, and other costs, net consisting of $86.7 million of transaction and integration-related costs related to Spirit (see note 2), $5.1 million related to the lease termination of a legacy corporate facility, and $4.5 million related to the establishment of our private fund.
Gain on Sales of Real Estate. When real estate is sold, the carrying amount of the applicable assets is derecognized with a corresponding gain from the sale recognized in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. We record a gain on sale of real estate pursuant to provisions under ASC 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets. We determine whether we would have a controlling financial interest in the property after the sale. We record a gain from the sale of real estate provided that various criteria, relating to the terms of the sale and any subsequent involvement by us with the real estate, have been met.
Allocation of the Purchase Price of Real Estate Acquisitions. We evaluate whether or not substantially all of the fair value of acquired assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of identifiable assets to determine whether a transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition or a business combination. As the fair value of most of our real estate acquisitions is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, our real estate transactions are generally accounted for as asset acquisitions, and the transaction costs associated with those acquisitions are capitalized to the basis of the acquired properties. Any difference between the total cost and estimated fair value of an asset acquisition is allocated to the real estate properties (i.e., land and buildings/improvements) and related lease intangibles (i.e., in-place lease and any related off-market terms) on a relative fair value basis. All other assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value.
For business combinations, on the other hand, we expense the transaction costs and categorize them as 'Merger, transaction, and other costs, net' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recorded at fair value. The amount of any purchase consideration that exceeds the fair value of all identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. To the extent that the purchase price is less than the fair value, however, a gain on bargain purchase is recognized. As permitted under ASC 805, Business Combinations, we may record measurement period adjustments within one year of the acquisition date.
Whether a transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition or business combination, the measurement of fair value is based on management's judgment and various factors, including market land and building values, market rental rates, discount rates, and capitalization rates. Our methodology for measuring and allocating the fair value of real estate acquisitions includes both observable market data (categorized as level 2 on the three-level valuation hierarchy of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement), and unobservable inputs that reflect our own internal assumptions (categorized as level 3 under ASC 820). Given the significance of the unobservable inputs, we believe the allocations of fair value of real estate acquisitions should be categorized as level 3 under ASC 820. From time to time, we have used, and may continue to use, the assistance of independent third parties specializing in real estate valuations to prepare our purchase price allocations.
The allocation of tangible assets (which includes land and buildings/improvements) of an acquired property with an in-place lease is based upon fair value. Land is typically valued utilizing the sales comparison (or market) approach. Buildings and improvements are typically valued under the replacement cost approach. Operating properties may be valued using the direct capitalization method, a type of income approach where a capitalization rate is applied to the stabilized estimated net operating income of a property. The determined fair value of each property is then allocated to land, building, and improvements at a property level. In allocating the fair value to identified intangibles for above-market or below-market leases, an amount is recorded based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amount to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rate for the corresponding in-place lease, measured over the remaining assumed contract term of the lease. The value of in-place leases is determined by our estimated costs related to acquiring a client and the carrying costs that would be incurred over the vacancy period to locate a client if the property were vacant, considering market conditions and costs to execute similar leases at the time of acquisition.
The values of the above-market and below-market leases are amortized over the term of the respective leases, including any bargain renewal options, as an adjustment to rental revenue in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases, is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining periods of the respective leases.

If a lease is terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease are recorded to revenue or expense as appropriate.
Real Estate and Lease Intangibles Held for Sale. We generally reclassify assets to held for sale when the disposition has been approved, there are no known contingencies relating to the sale and the consummation of the disposition is considered probable within one year. Upon classifying a real estate investment as held for sale, we will no longer recognize depreciation expense related to the depreciable assets of the property. Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value, less the estimated cost to dispose of the assets. Thirty-six properties were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2024.
If circumstances arise that we previously considered unlikely and, as a result, we decide not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, we will reclassify the property as held for investment. We measure and record a property that is reclassified as held for investment at the lower of (i) its carrying value before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held for investment or (ii) the estimated fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities. Investments in unconsolidated entities of which we are not considered the primary beneficiary, include VIEs and are accounted for using the equity method as we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financing policies of these investments. We initially recognize the fair value of our contribution as an equity method investment. We subsequently adjust these balances for our proportionate share of net earnings/losses of the entities, distributions received, and contributions made. Transaction costs related to the formation of equity method investments are also capitalized, resulting in a basis difference. This basis difference is amortized over the estimated useful life of the respective underlying assets and/or liabilities. The carrying value of our investment is included in 'Investment in unconsolidated entities' on our consolidated balance sheets. We record our proportionate share of net income from the unconsolidated entities in 'Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. With regard to distributions from unconsolidated entities, we have elected the nature of distribution approach as the information is available to us to determine the nature of the underlying activity that generated the distributions. In accordance with such approach, cash flows generated from the operations of an unconsolidated entity are classified as a return on investment (cash inflow from operating activities) and cash flows that are generated from other activities, such as property sales, debt refinancing or sale and redemptions of our investments are classified as a return of investment (cash inflow from investing activities). Our contribution to the unconsolidated entities or any distributions from them as returns of investment are classified as investing activities.
Our investment in unconsolidated entities includes preferred interests. Upon acquisition, we assess whether such investment should be considered debt or equity securities based on investment terms. As of December 31, 2024, our investment balance includes preferred interests classified as equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, for which we elect to apply the measurement alternative and record the value of the investment at cost, less any applicable impairment.
Goodwill. Upon the closing of a business combination, after identifying all tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, the excess consideration paid over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired and assumed, respectively, represents goodwill. In connection with the Merger, we recorded goodwill as a result of consideration exceeding the net assets acquired. For further details, see note 2, Merger with Spirit Realty Capital, Inc.
Deferred Financing Costs. Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal fees and other costs associated with obtaining or originating financing. Deferred financing costs, other than those associated with the line of credit, are presented on our consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. Deferred financing costs related to the line of credit are included in 'Other assets, net' in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the respective financing agreements that approximates the effective interest method.
Depreciation and Amortization. Land, buildings and improvements are recorded and stated at cost. Major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, while ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Buildings and improvements that are under redevelopment, or are being developed, are carried at cost and no depreciation is recorded on these assets. Additionally, amounts essential to the development of the property, such as pre-construction, development, construction, interest and other costs incurred during the period of development are capitalized.
58

Table of Contents
We cease capitalization when the property is available for occupancy upon substantial completion of property improvements to accommodate the client's use, but in any event no later than one year from the completion of major construction activity.
Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings
25 to 35 years
Building improvements
4 to 35 years
Equipment
5 to 25 years
Lease commissions and property improvements to accommodate the client's use The shorter of the term of the related lease or useful life
Acquired in-place leases Remaining terms of the respective leases
Provisions for Impairment - Real Estate Assets. We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If estimated future operating cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) plus estimated disposition proceeds (undiscounted) are less than the current book value of the property, a fair value analysis is performed and, to the extent the estimated fair value is less than the current book value, a provision for impairment is recorded to reduce the book value to estimated fair value. Key assumptions that we utilize in this analysis include projected rental rates, estimated holding periods, capital expenditures and property sales capitalization rates. For further details, see note 12, Fair Value Measurements.
Provisions for Impairment - Goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to impairment reviews annually, or more frequently if necessary. Goodwill is qualitatively assessed to determine whether a quantitative impairment assessment is necessary. Impairment is the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized, and the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. We perform our annual goodwill impairment assessment as of June 30. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, there were no impairments of goodwill.
Provisions for Impairment - Investment in Unconsolidated Entities. During our ownership of properties that are accounted for under the equity method and considered unconsolidated entities, and when circumstances indicate that a decrease in the value of an equity method investment has occurred that is other than temporary, we recognize an impairment loss, which requires significant judgment. To determine whether the impairment loss is other-than-temporary, we consider whether we have the ability and intent to hold the investment until the carrying value is fully recovered. We evaluate the impairment of our investment in unconsolidated entities in accordance with accounting standards for equity investments by first reviewing each investment for indicators of impairment. If indicators are present, we estimate the fair value of the investments. If the carrying value of the investment is greater than the estimated fair value, we make an assessment of whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary. In making this assessment, we consider the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the entity, and our intent and ability to retain the interest long enough for a recovery in market value. The investment is then reduced to its estimated fair value if conclusions indicate the impairment is other than temporary.
Equity Offering Costs. Underwriting commissions and offering costs have been reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital on our consolidated balance sheets.
Derivative and Hedging Activities. Derivatives are financial arrangements among two or more parties with returns linked to or “derived” from an underlying equity, debt, commodity, other asset, liability, interest rate, foreign exchange rate or another index, or the occurrence or nonoccurrence of a specified event. The settlement of a derivative is determined by its underlying notional amount specified in the contract. Derivative contracts may be entered into outright or embedded within a non-derivative host contract, and may be listed, traded on exchanges or privately negotiated directly between two parties.
We actively manage interest rate and foreign currency exposures arising from our liquidity and funding activities using derivative instruments. We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The majority of inputs used to value our derivatives fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
59

Table of Contents
The recognition of changes in the fair value of derivatives is recorded in net income unless the derivative is designated as a cash flow or net investment hedge, in which case the change in fair value is recorded in other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified to a designated account in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income in the periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
Newly Issued Accounting Standards.
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, requiring all public business entities to provide additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact on our financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes, to enhance income tax disclosures, provide more information about tax risks and opportunities present in worldwide operations, and to disaggregate existing income tax disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact on our financial statement disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards.
The Company adopted ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting, during the fourth quarter of 2024, which established improvements to reportable segments disclosures to enhance segment reporting under Topic 280. This ASU was intended to change how public entities identify and aggregate operating segments and apply quantitative thresholds to determine their reportable segments. This ASU also required public entities that operate as a single reportable segment to provide all segment disclosures in Topic 280, not just entity level disclosures. Refer to note 20, Segment and Geographic Information, for our updated disclosure.
2.    Merger with Spirit Realty Capital, Inc.
On October 29, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, or the “Merger Agreement”) with Saints MD Subsidiary, Inc., (“Merger Sub”), a Maryland corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Realty Income, and Spirit, a Maryland corporation.
On January 23, 2024, we completed our merger with Spirit. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, Spirit merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) each outstanding share of Spirit common stock, par value $0.05 per share, automatically converted into 0.762 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a newly issued share of our common stock, subject to adjustments as set forth in the Merger Agreement, and cash in lieu of fractional shares, and (ii) each outstanding share of Spirit’s 6.000% Series A Cumulative Redeemable preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Spirit Series A Preferred Stock"), converted into the right to receive one share of newly issued Realty Income 6.000% Series A Cumulative Redeemable preferred stock (“Realty Income Series A Preferred Stock”), having substantially the same terms as the Spirit Series A Preferred Stock. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each award of outstanding restricted Spirit common stock and Spirit performance share award was cancelled and converted into Realty Income common stock, using the Exchange Ratio. For more details, see note 16, Series A Preferred Stock.
The primary reason for the Merger was to expand our size, scale and diversification, in order to further position us as the real estate partner of choice for large net lease transactions.

Table of Contents
The Merger has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with Realty Income as the accounting acquirer, which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recognized at their acquisition date fair value. The fair value of the consideration transferred on the date of the acquisition is as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):
Shares of Spirit common stock exchanged (1)
142,136,567

Table of Contents
The initial assessment of fair value provided in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2024 were considered preliminary and were based on information that was available to management at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Measurement period adjustments were recorded in the period in which they were determined, as if they had been completed at the acquisition date. Before the first anniversary of the date of the Merger, final measurement period adjustments recorded in the year ended December 31, 2024 resulted from updated valuations related to real estate assets and liabilities, in addition to loans receivable. The adjustments were determined based on additional information that existed at the acquisition date but was not contemplated in our initial fair value assessment and resulted in a decrease to goodwill of $59.1 million.
Approximately $1.20 billion has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The recognized goodwill is attributable to expected synergies and benefits arising from the Merger, including anticipated financing and corporate overhead cost savings. None of the goodwill recognized is deductible for tax purposes.
B.    Merger-related Transaction Costs
In conjunction with the Merger, we incurred $86.7 million of merger-related transaction costs during the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily consisting of employee severance, post-combination share-based compensation, transfer taxes, and various professional fees directly attributable to the Merger.
C.    Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of our combined results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2023 (in millions, except per share data). The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations had the acquisition been effected on the assumed date, nor is it necessarily an indication of trends in future results for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare the pro forma information, basic shares outstanding and dilutive equivalents, cost savings from operating efficiencies, potential synergies, and the impact of incremental costs incurred in integrating the businesses.
Years ended December 31,
2024 2023
Total revenues $ 5,319.1  $ 4,868.2 
Net income $ 945.9  $ 893.2

(1)The initial weighted average cash lease yield for a property is generally computed as estimated contractual first year cash net operating income, which, in the case of a net leased property, is equal to the aggregate cash base rent for the first full year of each lease, divided by the total cost of the property. Since it is possible that a client could default on the payment of contractual rent (defined as the monthly aggregate cash amount charged to clients, inclusive of monthly base rent receivables), we cannot provide assurance that the actual return on the funds invested will remain at the percentages listed above. Contractual net operating income used in the calculation of initial weighted average cash lease yield includes approximately $1.5 million received as settlement credits as reimbursement of free rent periods for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In the case of a property under development or expansion, the contractual lease rate is generally fixed such that rent varies based on the actual total investment in order to provide a fixed rate of return. When the lease does not provide for a fixed rate of return on a property under development or expansion, the initial weighted average cash lease yield is computed as follows: estimated cash net operating income (determined by the lease) for the first full year of each lease, divided by our projected total investment in the property, including land, construction and capitalized interest costs.
(2)Includes £86.6 million of Sterling-denominated investments and €60.1 million of Euro-denominated investments, converted at the applicable exchange rates on the funding dates.
(3)Our clients occupying the new properties are 89.3% retail and 10.7% industrial based on net operating income. Approximately 47% of the net operating income generated from acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2024 was from investment grade rated clients, their subsidiaries, or affiliated companies at the date of acquisition.
Additionally, in November 2024, we purchased an office property in London for an aggregate purchase price of $161.6 million, which will serve as our U.K. headquarters.
The aggregate purchase price, excluding properties under development as of December 31, 2024, has been allocated as follows (in millions):
Acquisitions - USD Acquisitions - Sterling Acquisitions - Euro
Land $ 367.0  £ 279.7  56.5

Total $ 1,602.4  £ 806.9  196.0 
(1)The weighted average amortization period for acquired lease intangible assets is 9.4 years.
(2)USD-denominated other assets primarily consist of $159.8 million of financing receivables allocated to sales-leaseback transactions and $23.1 million of right-of-use assets accounted for as finance leases. Sterling-denominated other assets consist entirely of right-of-use assets accounted for as finance leases. Euro-denominated other assets consist entirely of sale-leasebacks accounted for as financing receivables.
(3)The weighted average amortization period for acquired lease intangible liabilities is 13.2 years.
(4)USD-denominated other liabilities consist entirely of lease liabilities under financing leases. Euro-denominated other liabilities consist entirely of deferred rent on certain below-market leases.
The aggregate purchase price of the assets acquired during the year ended December 31, 2024 included contingent consideration obligations related to leasing activities for a multi-tenant property acquired. At December 31, 2024, we had accrued $11.5 million for remaining amounts deemed probable and estimable.
The properties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2024 generated total revenue and net income of $72.5 million and $24.3 million, respectively.

B.    Investments in Existing Properties
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we capitalized costs of $122.9 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of $113.9 million for non-recurring building improvements, $8.6 million for re-leasing costs, and $0.4 million for recurring capital expenditures. In comparison, during the year ended December 31, 2023, we capitalized costs of $59.8 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of $49.6 million for non-recurring building improvements, $9.9 million for re-leasing costs, and $0.3 million for recurring capital expenditures.
C.    Properties with Existing Leases
The value of the in-place and above-market leases is recorded to 'Lease intangible assets, net' on our consolidated balance sheets, and the value of the below-market leases is recorded to 'Lease intangible liabilities, net' on our consolidated balance sheets.
The values of the in-place leases are amortized as depreciation and amortization expense. The amounts amortized to expense for all of our in-place leases, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 were $870.2 million, $651.1 million, and $634.9 million, respectively.
The values of the above-market and below-market leases are amortized over the term of the respective leases, including any bargain renewal options, as an adjustment to rental revenue in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The amounts amortized as a net decrease to rental revenue for capitalized above-market and below-market leases for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 were $34.7 million, $61.5 million, and $55.6 million, respectively. If a lease was to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recorded to revenue or expense, as appropriate.
The following table presents the estimated impact during the next five years and thereafter related to the amortization of the above-market and below-market lease intangibles and the amortization of the in-place lease intangibles at December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

A.    Passport Park Joint Venture
In November 2024, we established a joint venture with Trammell Crow Company ("TCC") to develop and operate three industrial facilities in Irving, Texas. As of December 31, 2024, we have invested $6.2 million, including $5.7 million in cash, in exchange for a 95.0% equity interest in the joint venture, including preferred equity. We have committed to investing an additional $158.0 million to finance the development. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because power to direct all activities significantly affecting the joint venture’s economic performance is shared. TCC is the managing member, and we do not have substantive kick-out rights. We will continuously evaluate whether we are the primary beneficiary as power to direct significant activities of the VIE can change over the life of the joint venture. Our maximum exposure to loss is limited to our common and preferred equity investments, including the committed development funding.
B.    Data Center Joint Venture
We own an 80.0% equity interest in a joint venture that we formed with Digital Realty Trust, Inc. in November 2023. This joint venture owns and operates two data centers. As we do not control this VOE, we account for it under the equity method. As of December 31, 2024, each partner funded its pro rata share of the remaining estimated development cost for the first phase of the project, which was completed during 2024.
C.    Bellagio Las Vegas Joint Venture Interests
The joint venture we formed with Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust owns a 95.0% equity interest in the real estate of The Bellagio Las Vegas. We made an initial investment in October 2023, including $301.4 million of common equity for an indirect interest of 21.9% in the property and a $650.0 million preferred equity interest. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized interest income of $52.8 million and $13.0 million for 8.1% preferential cumulative distributions, included within 'Other' revenue in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The unconsolidated entity had total debt outstanding of $3.0 billion as of December 31, 2024, all of which was non-recourse to us with limited customary exceptions.
We have determined that this joint venture is a VIE, and we are not the primary beneficiary as we do not have power to direct activities that most significantly impact the joint venture's economic performance. As a holder of preferred interests, we do not receive any additional voting rights, nor do we have conversion and redemption rights. Our maximum exposure to loss associated with this VIE is limited to our common and preferred equity investments.

D.    Industrial Partnerships
All seven assets held by our industrial partnerships were sold during the year ended December 31, 2022, resulting in the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment of $8.5 million, which was included in 'Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities' for the year ended December 31, 2022. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, equity in earnings was primarily related to the resolution of income tax disputes and resulting distribution of cash the partnership had reserved for possible tax payments.

Senior Secured Notes Receivable
In December 2024, we acquired a senior secured note with a principal amount of £200.0 million, equivalent to $250.4 million as of December 31, 2024. The interest-only note matures in November 2030 and bears interest at Sterling Overnight Indexed Average (“SONIA”) plus a margin ranging from 4.50% to 5.25%, based on the borrower's leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2024, the margin is determined to be 5.25%. The Company paid £199.0 million for the note and accounted for the discount at amortized cost. The discount will be amortized over the term of the note.
In September 2024, our interest in a loan with a carrying amount of $5.3 million, which was acquired in conjunction with the Merger, was transferred to a third-party buyer. As a result of this transfer, we recorded a loss of $1.5 million, presented in 'Other income, net' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
In May 2024, we acquired a senior secured note, maturing in May 2030, with a principal amount of £300.0 million, equivalent to $375.6 million as of December 31, 2024. The interest-only note bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.125% and is callable at par beginning in May 2026.
In November 2023, we acquired a senior secured note with a principal amount of £142.0 million, equivalent to $177.8 million as of December 31, 2024. The interest-only note bears interest that has been adjusted to SONIA plus 5.75% during the year ended December 31, 2024 and matures in October 2029. The Company paid £136.7 million for the note and accounted for the discount at amortized cost. The discount will be amortized over the term of the note.
Mortgage Loan
In October 2023, we issued a $33.5 million mortgage loan which is collateralized by nine automotive service properties located across seven different states. The interest-only loan bears interest at 8.37% subject to annual increases and matures in October 2038.

Table of Contents
Unsecured Loan
In conjunction with the Merger, we acquired an 11.0% fixed-rate, unsecured loan with a principal amount of $11.0 million. This interest-only loan was recorded at its acquisition-date fair value of $9.8 million and matures in December 2026.
B.    Financing Receivables
The following table presents information about our investments in sale-leaseback transactions accounted for as financing receivables in accordance with ASC 842, Leases as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollars in millions):

(1) During the year ended December 31, 2024, provisions for credit losses on loans receivable were primarily attributable to loans acquired during 2024. The increase for credit losses on financing receivables is primarily due to a client in the convenience store industry that defaulted on its lease payments and was fully reserved for, in addition to a partial reserve for a significant decline in the credit worthiness of a client in the automotive services industry.
(2) Includes the recognition of an initial expected credit loss of $1.8 million for a purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") loan we acquired in conjunction with the Merger.
(3) Includes a reduction due to the sale of a PCD loan in September 2024.
7.    Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Programs
A.    Credit Facility
We have a $4.25 billion unsecured revolving multi-currency credit facility that matures in June 2026, includes two six-month extensions that can be exercised at our option, and allows us to borrow in up to 14 currencies, including USD. Our revolving credit facility also has a $1.0 billion expansion option, which is subject to obtaining lender commitments. Under our revolving credit facility, our investment grade credit ratings at December 31, 2024 provide for USD borrowings at Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), plus 0.725% with a SOFR adjustment charge of 0.10% and a revolving credit facility fee of 0.125%, for all-in pricing of 0.95% over SOFR, for British Pound Sterling ("GBP") borrowings, at the SONIA, plus 0.725% with a SONIA adjustment charge of 0.0326% and a revolving credit facility fee of 0.125%, for all-in pricing of 0.8826% over SONIA, and Euro ("EUR") borrowings at one-month Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”), plus 0.725%, and a revolving credit facility fee of 0.125%, for all-in pricing of 0.85% over one-month EURIBOR.
As of December 31, 2024, we had a borrowing capacity of $3.19 billion available on our revolving credit facility (subject to customary conditions to borrowing) and an outstanding balance of $1.1 billion, including £376.0 million GBP and €572.0 million EUR borrowings. There was no outstanding balance at December 31, 2023.
The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 5.7% and 4.8% during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At December 31, 2024, our weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility was 4.4%. Our revolving credit facility is subject to various leverage and interest coverage ratio limitations, and at December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with the covenants under our revolving credit facility.

Table of Contents
As of December 31, 2024, credit facility origination costs of $7.3 million are included in 'Other assets, net', as compared to $12.3 million at December 31, 2023, on our consolidated balance sheets. These costs are being amortized over the remaining term of our revolving credit facility.
B.    Commercial Paper Programs
We have a USD-denominated unsecured commercial paper program, under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding of $1.5 billion, as well as a EUR-denominated unsecured commercial paper program, which permits us to issue additional unsecured commercial notes up to a maximum aggregate amount of $1.5 billion (or foreign currency equivalent). Our EUR-denominated unsecured commercial paper program may be issued in USD or various foreign currencies, including but not limited to, EUR, GBP, Swiss Francs, Yen, Canadian Dollars, and Australian Dollars, in each case, pursuant to customary terms in the European commercial paper market.
The commercial paper ranks pari passu in right of payment with all of our other unsecured senior indebtedness outstanding, exclusive of unexchanged bonds from our merger with VEREIT, Inc. (“VEREIT”) in 2021 and unexchanged Spirit bonds, including borrowings under our revolving credit facility, our term loans and our outstanding senior unsecured notes (and is structurally subordinated to all our subsidiary debt). Proceeds from commercial paper borrowings are used for general corporate purposes.
As of December 31, 2024, the balance of borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper programs was $67.3 million, including €65.0 million of EUR borrowings, as compared to $764.4 million outstanding commercial paper borrowings, including €583.0 million of EUR borrowings, at December 31, 2023. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper programs was 4.6% and 4.8% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We use our $4.25 billion revolving credit facility as a liquidity backstop for the repayment of the notes issued under the commercial paper programs. The commercial paper borrowings generally carry a term of less than a year.
We review our credit facility and commercial paper programs and may seek to extend, renew, or replace our credit facility and commercial paper programs, to the extent we deem appropriate.
8.    Term Loans
In January 2024, in connection with the Merger, we entered into an amended and restated term loan agreement (which replaced Spirit's then-existing term loans with various lenders). The amended and restated term loan agreements are fixed through interest rate swaps at a weighted average interest rate of 3.9%. Pursuant to the amended and restated term loan agreement, we borrowed $800.0 million in aggregate total borrowings, $300.0 million of which matures in August 2025 and $500.0 million of which matures in August 2027 (the “$800 million term loan agreement”). We also entered into an amended and restated term loan agreement pursuant to which we borrowed $500.0 million in aggregate total borrowings which matures in June 2025 (the “$500 million term loan agreement”).
In January 2023, we entered into our 2023 term loan agreement, which allows us to incur up to an aggregate of $1.5 billion in multi-currency borrowings. In January 2024, we entered into interest rate swaps which fix our per annum interest rate at 4.9% until January 2026. As of December 31, 2024, we had $1.1 billion in multi-currency borrowings, including $90.0 million, £705.0 million, and €85.0 million in outstanding borrowings. The maturity date for the 2023 term loans was January 2025; however, in December 2024, we exercised the remaining twelve-month extension option, extending the maturity to January 2026. Our A3/A- credit ratings provide for a borrowing rate of 80 basis points over the applicable benchmark rate, which includes adjusted SOFR for USD-denominated loans, adjusted SONIA for GBP-denominated loans, and EURIBOR for EUR-denominated loans.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we repaid our $250.0 million senior unsecured term loan in full upon maturity.
Deferred financing costs were $2.2 million at December 31, 2024 and are included net of the term loans' principal balance, as compared to $0.1 million related to our 2023 term loans at December 31, 2023 on our consolidated balance sheets. These costs are being amortized over the remaining term of the term loans. As of December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in the term loans.

(1) In connection with the Merger, we completed our debt exchange offer to exchange all outstanding notes issued by Spirit Realty, L.P. ("Spirit OP") on January 23, 2024 for new notes issued by Realty Income. Prior to the completion of the Merger on January 23, 2024, these notes were not the obligation of Realty Income. Additional details regarding the exchange offers are provided in the Note Exchange Offers Associated with the Merger section below.
(2) Interest paid annually. Interest on the remaining senior unsecured notes and bond obligations included in the table is paid semi-annually.
(3) As a result of the Merger, the carrying values of the senior notes exchanged were adjusted to fair value.
(4) In conjunction with the pricing of our senior unsecured notes due January 2026, we entered into three-year, fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps, which were accounted for as fair value hedges. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, these interest rate swaps totaling $500 million notional were terminated.
The following table summarizes the maturity of our notes and bonds payable as of December 31, 2024, excluding unamortized net premiums and discounts, deferred financing costs (dollars in millions):
Year of Maturity Principal
2025 $ 1,050.0 
2026 2,375.0 
2027 2,313.6 
2028 2,499.8 
2029 2,387.5 
Thereafter 12,312.8 
Total $ 22,938.7 
As of December 31, 2024, the weighted average interest rate on our notes and bonds payable was 3.8%, and the weighted average remaining years until maturity was 6.6 years.
Interest incurred on all of the notes and bonds was $840.3 million, $598.6 million, and $431.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Our outstanding notes and bonds are unsecured; accordingly, we have not pledged any assets as collateral for these or any other obligations.
All of these notes and bonds contain various covenants, including: (i) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause our debt to total adjusted assets ratio to exceed 60%; (ii) a limitation on incurrence of any secured debt which would cause our secured debt to total adjusted assets ratio to exceed 40%; (iii) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause our debt service coverage ratio to be less than 1.5 times; and (iv) the maintenance at all times of total unencumbered assets not less than 150% of our outstanding unsecured debt. At December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with these covenants.

As part of the Merger, Realty Income exchanged the following notes issued by Spirit OP, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with notes of substantially identical economic terms issued by Realty Income:
Series of Spirit Notes Tenders and Consents Received as of the Expiration Date
(in millions)
Percentage of Total Outstanding Principal Amount of Such Series of Spirit Notes
4.450% Notes due September 2026

3.200% Notes due February 2031
$445.0 98.90%
2.700% Notes due February 2032
$347.6 99.31%
To induce holders of the Spirit OP notes to participate in the exchange, Realty Income offered noteholders electing to exchange their notes a cash payment equal to 10 basis points of the note principal amount held. Across the various note classes, Realty Income had a success rate of approximately 98.1% on the exchange, resulting in a cash payment of $2.7 million to participating noteholders. The exchange was accounted for as a modification of the existing Spirit OP notes assumed in the Merger. The interest rate, interest payment dates, redemption terms and maturity of each series of Realty Income notes issued by Realty Income in the exchange offers were the same as those of the corresponding series of Spirit notes exchanged. With respect to the notes originally issued by Spirit OP that remained outstanding, we amended the indenture governing such notes to, among other things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants in such indenture.
D.    Note Repayments
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we repaid the following notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest upon maturity. There were no comparable repayments for the year ended December 31, 2023.

11.    Noncontrolling Interests
As of December 31, 2024, we have ten entities with noncontrolling interests that we consolidate, including an operating partnership, Realty Income, L.P., and interests in consolidated property partnerships not wholly-owned by us.
At December 31, 2024, outstanding common partnership units in Realty Income, L.P. represented 9.95% ownership interest in Realty Income L.P. We hold the remaining 90.05% interest and consolidate the entity. None of our common partnership units have voting rights. Common partnership units are entitled to monthly distributions equal to the amount paid to common stockholders of Realty Income, and are redeemable in cash or Realty Income common stock, at our option, and at a conversion ratio of 1.02934. These issuances with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock, at the option of the issuer, were evaluated to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the balance sheet was appropriate. We determined that the units meet the requirements to qualify for presentation as permanent equity.

In July 2024, a joint venture partner converted their interests in two consolidated property partnerships into 156,621 common partnership units in Realty Income, LP and we recorded the excess over carrying value of $0.8 million as a reduction to common stock and paid in capital.
In September 2024, we completed the acquisition of 42 properties by paying cash and by issuing 730,020 common partnership units in Realty Income, LP.
At December 31, 2024, we are considered the primary beneficiary of Realty Income, L.P. and other VIEs. For further information, see note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
12.    Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price).
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, sets forth a fair value hierarchy that categorizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Categorization within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
•Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
•Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other market-corroborated inputs
•Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement
We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from period to period. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets. We have not historically had changes in classifications and do not expect that changes in classifications between levels will be frequent.

A.    Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value on our Consolidated Balance Sheets
The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, escrow deposits, accounts payable, distributions payable, term loans, line of credit payable and commercial paper borrowings, and other liabilities approximate their carrying value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, due to their short-term nature. The aggregate fair value of our term loans approximates carrying value due to the frequent repricing of the variable interest rate charged on the borrowing.
The following table reflects the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets (in millions):
December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023

(1) Excludes non-cash net premiums and discounts as well as deferred financing costs recorded on mortgages payable. Excludes non-cash net premiums and discounts, deferred financing costs, and the cumulative basis adjustment on fair value hedges recorded on notes payable.
The estimated fair values of our mortgage loan receivable, unsecured loan receivable, mortgages payable, and private senior notes payable have been calculated by discounting the future cash flows using an interest rate based upon the relevant input, such as forward interest rate curve, plus an applicable credit-adjusted spread. Because this methodology includes unobservable inputs that reflect our own internal assumptions and calculations, the measurement of estimated fair values related to the named financial instruments are categorized as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
75

Table of Contents
The estimated fair values of our senior secured loans receivable, publicly-traded senior notes and bonds payable are based upon indicative market prices and recent trading activity of each financial instrument. Because this methodology includes inputs that are less observable by the public and are not necessarily reflected in active markets, the measurement of the estimated fair values related to these financial instruments is categorized as level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
B.    Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
For derivative assets and liabilities, we may utilize interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, and forward-starting swaps to manage interest rate risk, and cross-currency swaps, currency exchange swaps, and foreign currency forwards to manage foreign currency risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, spot and forward rates, as well as option volatility.
Derivative fair values also include credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within level 2 on the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize level three inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by ourselves and our counterparties. However, at December 31, 2024 and 2023, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified as level 2. For more details on our derivatives, see note 13, Derivative Instruments.
C.    Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Impairment of Real Estate Investments
Certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments only under certain circumstances, such as when an impairment write-down occurs.
Depending on impairment triggering events during the applicable period, impairments are typically recorded for properties sold, in the process of being sold, vacant, in bankruptcy, or experiencing difficulties with collection of rent.
The following table summarizes our provisions for impairment on real estate investments during the periods indicated below (dollars in millions):
Years ended December 31,
2024 2023 2022
Carrying value prior to impairment $ 770.7  $ 194.5  $ 140.9 
Less: total provisions for impairment of real estate (1)
(319.0) (82.2) (25.9)
Carrying value after impairment $ 451.7  $ 112.3  $ 115.0 
Number of properties:
Classified as held for sale 17  — 
Classified as held for investment 88  16 
Sold 132  94  89 
(1) Real estate assets that were deemed to be impaired for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily relate to two office properties which were acquired and retained in our merger with VEREIT in 2021, properties leased to clients in bankruptcies or financial distress, as well as properties that are more likely than not to be sold in the next twelve months.
The valuation of impaired assets is determined using valuation techniques including applying a capitalization rate to estimated net operating income of a property, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions and purchase offers received from third parties, which are level 3 inputs. We may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of such real estate. Estimating future cash flows is highly subjective and estimates can differ materially from actual results.

13.    Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to economic risks from interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We may enter into derivative financial instruments to offset these underlying economic risks.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Cash Flow Hedges
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to sell GBP and EUR and buy USD to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with interest payments on intercompany loans denominated in GBP and EUR. Forward points on the forward contracts are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. We also execute variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps and use interest rate swaption agreements to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements associated with our term loans or forecasted transactions. When it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the specific time period or within an additional two-month period thereafter, the net derivative instrument gain or loss and any gains and losses that were reported in AOCI pursuant to the hedge of a forecasted transaction are recognized immediately in earnings through the caption entitled 'Interest' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Fair Value Hedges
Periodically, we enter into and designate fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk by managing our mix of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. These swaps involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts for variable interest rate payments over the life of the swaps without exchange of the underlying principal amount. We also designate some of our cross-currency swaps as fair value hedges as we use them to hedge foreign currency risk associated with changes in spot rates on foreign-denominated debt. For these hedging instruments, we have elected to exclude the change in fair value of the cross-currency swaps related to both time value and cross-currency basis spread from the assessment of hedge effectiveness (the "excluded component"). Changes in the fair value of the cross-currency swaps attributable to these excluded components are recorded to other comprehensive income and subsequently recognized in 'Foreign currency and derivative gain (loss), net' on a systematic and rational basis, as net cash settlements and interest accruals on the respective cross currency swaps occur, over the remaining life of the hedging instruments.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Net Investment Hedges
To mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate variations associated with our investment in EUR-denominated foreign operations, we may enter into derivative instruments, such as cross-currency swaps that qualify as net investment hedges under the criteria prescribed in accordance with ASC 815-20, Hedging - General. We use the spot method of assessing hedge effectiveness and apply the consistent election to the excluded component by recognizing changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments attributable to the excluded component in the same manner as described above. Any difference between the change in the fair value of the excluded components and the amounts recognized in earnings is reported in other comprehensive income as part of the foreign cumulative translation adjustment. The gain or loss on the portion of the derivative instruments included in the assessment of effectiveness is reported in other comprehensive income as part of the 'Foreign currency translation adjustment' line item, to the extent the relationship is highly effective. If our net investment changes during a reporting period, the hedge relationship will be assessed for whether a de-designation is warranted (only if the hedge notional amount is outside of prescribed tolerance). Further, certain EUR-denominated bonds and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans (all as defined in notes 7 and 8, respectively) may be also designated as, and are effective as, net investment hedges. Changes in the value of such borrowings, related to changes in the spot rates, will be recorded in the same manner as foreign currency translation adjustments. As of December 31, 2024, the total principal amount of foreign currency debt obligations designated as net investment hedges was $59.9 million.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We enter into foreign currency exchange swap agreements to reduce the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations between the USD, our reporting currency, and GBP and EUR. These derivative contracts generally mature within one year and are not designated as hedge instruments for accounting purposes. As the currency exchange swap is not accounted for as a hedging instrument, the change in fair value is recorded in earnings through the caption entitled 'Foreign currency and derivative gain (loss), net' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

(3)This column represents maturity dates for instruments outstanding as of December 31, 2024.
(4)During the year ended December 31, 2024, we entered into five variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps when we extended the maturity of the 2023 term loans and designated them as cash flow hedges. We also designated five other variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps we acquired from Spirit as cash flow hedges to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with the term loans we assumed in conjunction with the Merger. The acquisition date fair value of these acquired derivatives was $35.1 million in total and will be reclassified from AOCI to interest expense over the remaining life of the term loans.
(5)There were six interest swaptions equal to $1.0 billion in notional entered into in March 2023, of which $800.0 million was terminated in January 2024 in connection with a senior unsecured note issuance. A total termination premium of $3.4 million we received was deferred in other comprehensive income and will be recognized in interest expense over the 10-year tenor of the notes due 2034. We discontinued cash flow hedge accounting for the remaining swaption of the $200.0 million notional in December 2024 because the forecasted transaction did not occur.
(6)USD fixed rate of 5.625% and EUR weighted average fixed rate of 4.681%.
(7)USD fixed rate of 5.625% and EUR weighted average fixed rate of 4.716%.
(8)Weighted average forward GBP-USD exchange rate of 1.29.
(9)Weighted average exchange rates of 0.83 for EUR-GBP and 1.27 for GBP-USD.
We measure our derivatives at fair value and include the balances within 'Other assets, net' and 'Accounts payable and accrued expenses' on our consolidated balance sheets.
We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties containing provisions under which we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if repayment of our indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default.

14.    Leases
A.As Lessor
At December 31, 2024, we owned or held interests in 15,621 properties. Of the 15,621 properties, 15,316, or 98.0%, are single-client properties, and the remaining are multi-client properties. At December 31, 2024, 205 properties were available for lease or sale. The majority of our leases are accounted for as operating leases.
At December 31, 2024, most of the properties in our portfolio were leased under net lease agreements where our client pays or reimburses us for property taxes and assessments and carries insurance coverage for public liability, property damage, fire, and extended coverage.
Rent based on a percentage of our clients' gross sales, or percentage rent, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $16.0 million, $14.8 million, and $14.9 million respectively.
At December 31, 2024, minimum future annual rental revenue to be received on the operating leases for the next five years and thereafter are as follows (dollars in millions):
Future Minimum Operating Lease Payments
Future Minimum Direct Financing and Sale-Type Lease Payments (1)
2025 $ 4,845.1  $ 1.4

Amounts reflected are the cash rent on these respective properties. Two properties are subject to sales-type leases and, therefore, revenue is recognized as sales-type lease income on the discounted cash flows of the lease payments. Amounts reflected are the cash rent on these respective properties.
B.As Lessee
We are the lessee under certain ground lease arrangements, building, and corporate office space leases, which are primarily accounted for as operating leases.

The range of discount rates used to calculate the present value of the operating lease payments is 1.23% to 6.42% and for finance lease payments is 1.47% to 6.21%. The weighted average discount rate was derived from estimated incremental borrowing rates based on our credit quality, as we did not have any borrowings at the balance sheet date with comparable terms to our lease agreements. At December 31, 2024, the weighted average discount rate for operating leases is 3.96% and the weighted average remaining lease term is 23.74 years. At December 31, 2024, the weighted average discount rate for finance leases is 5.02% and the weighted average remaining lease term is 32.47 years.

B.    At-the-Market ("ATM") Program
Under our current ATM program, which we entered into in August 2023, we may offer and sell up to 120.0 million shares of common stock (1) by us to, or through, a consortium of banks acting as our sales agents or (2) by a consortium of banks acting as forward sellers on behalf of any forward purchasers contemplated thereunder, in each case by means of ordinary brokers' transactions on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "O" at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Upon settlement, subject to certain exceptions, we may elect, in our sole discretion, to cash settle or net share settle all or any portion of our obligations under any forward sale agreement, in which cases we may not receive any proceeds (in the case of cash settlement) or will not receive any proceeds (in the case of net share settlement), and we may owe cash (in the case of cash settlement) or shares of our common stock (in the case of net share settlement) to the relevant forward purchaser. As of December 31, 2024, we had 55.5 million shares remaining for future issuance under our ATM program. We anticipate maintaining the availability of our ATM program in the future, including the replenishment of authorized shares issuable thereunder.
The following table outlines common stock issuances pursuant to our ATM programs (dollars in millions, shares in thousands):
Years ended December 31,

Net proceeds $ 1,742.8  $ 5,439.5  $ 4,556.0 
(1) During the year ended December 31, 2024, 25.8 million shares were sold and 30.2 million shares were settled pursuant to forward sale confirmations. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, 1.8 million shares of common stock subject to forward sale confirmations have been executed, but not settled, at a weighted average initial gross price of $53.32 per share. We currently expect to fully settle forward sale agreements outstanding by June 30, 2025, representing $91.8 million in net proceeds, for which the weighted average forward price at December 31, 2024 was $51.80 per share.
C.    Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan ("DRSPP")
Our DRSPP provides our common stockholders with a convenient and economical method of purchasing our common stock and reinvesting their distributions. It also allows our current stockholders to buy additional shares of common stock by reinvesting all or a portion of their distributions. Our DRSPP authorizes up to 26.0 million common shares to be issued. At December 31, 2024, we had 10.8 million shares remaining for future issuance under our DRSPP program.
The following table outlines common stock issuances pursuant to our DRSPP program (dollars in millions, shares in thousands):
Years ended December 31,
2024 2023 2022
Shares of common stock issued under the DRSPP program 212  198  176 
Gross proceeds $ 11.8  $ 11.5  $ 11.7 
16.    Series A Preferred Stock
As part of the Merger Agreement with Spirit, each outstanding share of Spirit Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, converted into the right to receive one share of newly issued Realty Income Series A Preferred Stock, having substantially the same terms as the Spirit Series A Preferred Stock, resulting in 6.9 million shares of Realty Income Series A Preferred Stock issued.
In September 2024, we redeemed all 6.9 million shares of Realty Income Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. The shares were redeemed at redemption value of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to September 30, 2024. The excess of the $25.00 liquidation price per share over the carrying value of Realty Income Series A Preferred Stock redeemed resulted in a loss on redemption of $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

17.    Common Stock Incentive Plan
In March 2021, our Board of Directors adopted, and in May 2021, stockholders approved, the Realty Income 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the "2021 Plan") which replaced the Realty Income 2012 Incentive Award Plan (the "2012 Plan"). The 2021 Plan provides for the award to our directors, employees, and consultants of up to 8.9 million shares.
In connection with our merger with VEREIT in 2021, shares which remained available for issuance under the VEREIT, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan immediately prior to the closing of the merger (as adjusted by the Exchange Ratio) may be used for awards under the 2021 Plan and will not reduce the shares authorized for grant under the 2021 Plan, to the extent that awards using such shares (i) are permitted without stockholder approval under applicable stock exchange rules, (ii) are made only to VEREIT service providers or individuals who become Realty Income service providers following the date of the consummation of the merger, and (iii) are only granted under the 2021 Plan during the period commencing on the date of the consummation of the merger and ending on June 2, 2031. As a result, 6.2 million additional shares were available for issuance under the 2021 Plan.
The amount of share-based compensation costs recognized in 'General and administrative' in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income was $32.7 million, $26.2 million, and $21.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
In connection with the Merger, each outstanding Spirit restricted stock award and performance share award was cancelled and converted into Realty Income common stock, using the Exchange Ratio in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The issuance is excluded from the sections below, as the awards were not granted under the 2021 Plan. The aggregate fair value of fully vested Spirit awards converted into Realty Income common stock was $66.5 million, of which i.) $41.7 million related to pre-combination services and is included in the consideration transferred in the Merger and ii.) $24.8 million of expense was recognized at the date of acquisition in merger, transaction, and other costs, net related to the value attributable to post-combination services.

(1) Grant date fair value.
For each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, we granted 40,000 shares of restricted stock to the independent members of our Board of Directors in connection with our annual awards in May of each year. The vesting period of these shares is up to three years, based on each director's years of service, and is subject to the director's continued service through each applicable vesting date. In addition, in February 2024, we granted 4,000 shares of restricted stock to a new member of our Board of Directors, which vest in equal parts over a three-year period. In connection with shares granted in each respective year, 16,000, 20,000, and 20,000 shares vested immediately and 28,000, 20,000, and 20,000 shares vest in equal parts over a three-year service period.
As of December 31, 2024, the remaining unamortized share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock totaled $19.7 million, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the service period of each applicable award. The expense amortization period for restricted stock is the lesser of the four-year service period or the period over which the awardee reaches the qualifying retirement age. For employees who have already met the qualifying retirement age, restricted stock is fully expensed at the grant date. The amount of share-based compensation is based on the fair value of the stock at the grant date. We define the grant date as the date the recipient and Realty Income have a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of the award, and the recipient of the grant begins to benefit from, or be adversely affected by, subsequent changes in the price of the shares.

As of December 31, 2024, the remaining share-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock units totaled $1.4 million and is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period. The amount of share-based compensation for the restricted stock units is based on the fair value of our common stock at the grant date. The expense amortization period for restricted stock units is the lesser of the four-year service period or the period over which the awardee reaches the qualifying retirement age. For employees who have already met the qualifying retirement age, restricted stock units are fully expensed at the grant date.
C.    Performance Shares
During 2024, 2023, and 2022, we granted annual performance share awards, as well as dividend equivalent rights, to our executive officers. The number of performance shares that vest for each of the three years is based on the achievement of the following performance goals:
Weighting for year granted
Annual Performance Awards Metrics 2024 2023 2022
Total shareholder return (“TSR”) ranking relative to MSCI US REIT Index 50  % 55  % 55  %
Dividend per share growth rate 25  % 20  % 20  %
Net Debt-to-Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre Ratio
25  % 25  % 25  %
The annual performance shares vest 50% as of the date of which the plan administrator determines the achievement of the applicable goals during the applicable three-year performance period and the remaining 50% on January 1 of the following year, subject to continued service.
The fair value of the performance shares was estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo Simulation model.

20.    Segment and Geographic Information
A.    Segment Information
Our business is characterized as owning and leasing commercial properties under long-term, net lease agreements (whereby clients are responsible for property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs), and these economic characteristics are similar across various property types, geographic locations, and industries in which our clients operate. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its President, Chief Executive Officer. Information reviewed by our CODM in evaluating performance and allocating resources is primarily operating results and cash flow analysis on a consolidated basis. Therefore, we operate and manage the business in one operating and reportable segment.
The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net income that also is reported on the income statement as consolidated net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. Our significant segment expenses include consolidated expense categories presented in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, as well as additional significant segment expense categories reported within 'Property (including reimbursable)' and 'General and administrative' expense captions, as follows (in millions):

21.    Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are party to various legal actions which we believe are routine in nature and incidental to the operation of our business. We believe that the outcome of the proceedings will not have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
At December 31, 2024, we had commitments of $93.5 million, which primarily relate to tenant improvements, recurring capital expenditures, and non-recurring building improvements. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, we had committed $683.3 million under construction contracts related to development projects, which have estimated rental revenue commencement dates between February 2025 and March 2026.
22.    Subsequent Events
A.     Dividends
In January 2025, we declared a dividend of $0.2640 per share to our common stockholders, which was paid in February 2025. In addition, in February 2025, we declared a dividend of $0.2680, which will be paid in March 2025.
B.     Share Repurchase Program
In February 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $2.0 billion in shares of our common stock, which will expire in January 2028. Repurchases under the repurchase program may be made at management’s discretion from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, Rule 10b5-1 plans or otherwise, all in accordance with the rules of the SEC and other applicable legal requirements. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion.

Item 9A:    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2024 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were operating at a reasonable assurance level.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
(2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
(3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.
Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)” published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the end of the most recent fiscal year. KPMG LLP has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
Item 9B:    Other Information

Our common stock and notes are listed on The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbols “O,” “O27A,” “O27B,” “O29B,” “O30,” “O30B,” “O31A,” “O33A,” “O34,” “O39,” “O41,” and “O42,” respectively.
DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
The following description of some of the terms of the common stock, our charter (as amended or restated from time to time, the “charter”), our amended and restated bylaws (as further amended or restated from time to time, the “bylaws”), and the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the MGCL and our charter and the bylaws. Copies of our most recent charter and bylaws, and any subsequent amendments thereto, have been filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or a subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). You may obtain copies of any of those documents by visiting the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov.
General
We have authority to issue 1,300,000,000 shares of our common stock and 69,900,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share (“preferred stock”).
Common Stock
Subject to the preferential rights of any other class or series of our stock and to the provisions of our charter regarding the restrictions on ownership and transfer of stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if authorized by our board of directors and declared by us out of assets legally available therefor. The terms of any preferred stock we may issue in the future may provide for restrictions or prohibitions on the payment of dividends on, and the purchase of, our common stock and may also provide for holders of that class or series of preferred stock to receive preferential distributions in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up before any payments may be made on our common stock.
For information concerning any class or series of our preferred stock that may be outstanding from time to time, see the articles supplementary classifying and designating the shares of such class or series of preferred stock, which have been or will be, as the case may be, filed or incorporated by reference as an exhibit to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or a subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K filed by us with the SEC, and the description of any such class or series of our preferred stock contained in the applicable Registration Statement on Form 8-A, including any amendments and reports filed for the purpose of updating such description, which have been or will be filed by us with the SEC. You may obtain copies of any of these documents by visiting the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.



Our charter authorizes our board of directors to classify and reclassify any unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock into other classes or series of stock and to establish the number of shares in each class or series and to set the terms, preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption for each such class or series. Thus, the board of directors could cause the issuance of shares of preferred stock with dividend rights, rights to distributions in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voting rights or other rights that could adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock or delay or prevent a tender offer or change of control of the Company that might involve a premium price for shares of our common stock or otherwise be in their best interests, any of which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Subject to the provisions of our charter regarding the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our common stock (see “- Restrictions on Ownership and Transfers of Stock” below) and the terms of any other class or series of our stock, each outstanding share of our common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors (other than any directors to be elected exclusively by holders of our outstanding preferred stock or any other class or series of our stock). Except as provided with respect to any other class or series of stock, the holders of shares of our common stock will possess the exclusive voting power.
Holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors, which means that holders of more than 50% of all the shares of our common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all the directors standing for election (other than any directors to be elected exclusively by holders of our outstanding preferred stock or any other class or series of our stock) at the time if they choose to do so, and the holders of the remaining shares of our common stock cannot elect any such directors. All of our directors currently serve for a term ending at the next annual meeting of stockholders following their election and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. Holders of shares of common stock do not have preemptive rights, which means they have no right under the charter, bylaws, or Maryland law to acquire any additional shares of common stock that may be issued by us at a subsequent date. Holders of shares of common stock have no preference, conversion, exchange, sinking fund or redemption rights. Under Maryland law, stockholders generally are not liable for the corporation’s debts or obligations.
Under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge, convert into another entity, sell all or substantially all of its assets, engage in a share exchange or engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business unless approved by its stockholders by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter unless a lesser percentage (but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter) is set forth in the corporation’s charter. Our charter provides that any such action shall be effective if approved by the affirmative vote of holders of shares entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Because the term “substantially all” of a corporation’s assets is not defined in the MGCL, it is subject to Maryland common law and to judicial interpretation and review in the context of the unique facts and circumstances of any particular transaction. Accordingly, there may be uncertainty as to whether a sale of “substantially all” of our assets has taken place within the meaning of the MGCL provisions described above.

Restrictions on Ownership and Transfers of Stock
To maintain our status as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), no more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares of stock may be owned, actually or constructively, by or for five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year. In addition, if we, or an owner of 10% or more of our stock, actually or constructively owns 10% or more of a tenant of ours (or a tenant of any partnership or limited liability company that is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes in which we are a partner or member), the rent received by us (either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) from that tenant will not be qualifying income for purposes of the REIT gross income tests of the Code. A REIT’s stock must also be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of twelve months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year.
Because we expect to continue to qualify as a REIT, our charter contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer of our common stock which, among other purposes, are intended to assist us in complying with applicable Code requirements. Our charter provides that, subject to certain specified exceptions, no person or entity may own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code, more than 9.8% (by value or by number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of our outstanding shares of common stock. We refer to this restriction as the “ownership limit.” The constructive ownership rules of the Code are complex, and may cause shares of common stock owned actually or constructively by a group of related individuals and/or entities to be constructively owned by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of less than 9.8% of the shares of our common stock (or the acquisition of an interest in an entity that owns, actually or constructively, shares of our common stock) by an individual or entity, could nevertheless cause that individual or entity, or another individual or entity, to constructively own more than 9.8% of our outstanding shares of common stock and thus violate the ownership limit, or any other limit as provided in our charter or as otherwise permitted by our board of directors. Our board of directors may, but in no event is required to, exempt from the ownership limit a particular stockholder if it determines that such ownership will not jeopardize our status as a REIT. As a condition of such exemption, the board of directors may require a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it and/or undertakings or representations from the applicant with respect to preserving our REIT status.
Our charter further prohibits (1) any person from actually or constructively owning shares of our common stock that would result in our being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT, and (2) any person from transferring shares of our common stock if such transfer would result in shares of our capital stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons (determined without reference to any rules of attribution).
Any person who acquires or attempts to acquire actual or constructive ownership of shares of our common stock that would violate any of the foregoing restrictions on transferability and ownership is required to give written notice to us immediately and provide us with such other information as we may request in order to determine the effect of such transfer on our status as a REIT. The foregoing restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply if our board of directors determines that it is no longer in our best interest to attempt to qualify, or to continue to qualify, as a REIT and such determination is approved by the affirmative vote of holders of not less than two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter, as required by our charter. Except as otherwise described above, any change in the ownership limit would require an amendment to our charter. We anticipate that any class or series of preferred stock that we may issue in the future will be subject to similar restrictions.
3



Pursuant to our charter, if any purported transfer of common stock or any other event would result in any person violating the ownership limit or such other limit as provided in our charter, or as otherwise permitted by our board of directors, or result in our being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code, or otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT, then the number of shares that would otherwise cause such violation or result (rounded up to the nearest whole share) will be transferred automatically to a trust, the beneficiary of which will be a qualified charitable organization selected by us. Such automatic transfer will be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of such violative transfer.
Within 20 days of receiving notice from us of the transfer of shares to the trust, the trustee of the trust (who shall be designated by us and be unaffiliated with us and any prohibited transferee or prohibited owner) will be required to sell such shares to a person or entity who could own the shares without violating the ownership limit, or any other limit as provided in our charter or as otherwise permitted by our board of directors, and distribute to the prohibited transferee or prohibited owner, as applicable, an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the price paid by the prohibited transferee or prohibited owner for such shares or (2) the net sales proceeds received by the trust for such shares. In the case of any event other than a transfer, or in the case of a transfer for no consideration (such as a gift), the trustee will be required to sell such shares to a qualified person or entity and distribute to the prohibited owner an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the market price (determined as provided in our charter) of such shares as of the date of the event resulting in the transfer or (2) the net sales proceeds received by the trust for such shares. In either case, any proceeds in excess of the amount distributable to the prohibited transferee or prohibited owner, as applicable, will be distributed to the beneficiary. Prior to a sale of any such shares by the trust, the trustee will be entitled to receive, in trust for the beneficiary, all dividends and other distributions paid by us with respect to such shares, and also will be entitled to exercise all voting rights with respect to such shares.
Subject to Maryland law, effective as of the date that such shares have been transferred to the trust, the trustee will have the authority (at the trustee’s sole discretion) (1) to rescind as void any vote cast by a prohibited transferee or prohibited owner, as applicable, prior to the discovery by us that such shares have been transferred to the trust and (2) to recast such vote in accordance with the desires of the trustee acting for the benefit of the beneficiary. However, if we have already taken irreversible corporate action, then the trustee will not have the authority to rescind and recast that vote. Any dividend or other distribution paid to the prohibited transferee or prohibited owner prior to the discovery by us that such shares had been automatically transferred to a trust as described above will be required to be repaid to the trustee upon demand for distribution to the beneficiary. In the event that the transfer to the trust as described above is not automatically effective (for any reason) to prevent violation of the ownership limit or any other limit as provided in our charter or as otherwise permitted by our board of directors, then, per our charter, the transfer of such shares will be void.
In addition, shares of our common stock held in the trust will be deemed to have been offered for sale to us, or our designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (1) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the market price at the time of such devise or gift) and (2) the market price on the date we, or our designee, accept such offer. We will have the right to accept such offer until the trustee has sold the shares of common stock held in the trust. Upon such a sale to us, the interest of the beneficiary in the shares sold will terminate and the trustee must distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the prohibited transferee or prohibited owner, and any dividends or other distributions held by the trustee with respect to such shares will be paid to the beneficiary.
4



If any purported transfer of shares of common stock would cause us to be beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, such transfer will be null and void in its entirety and the intended transferee will acquire no rights to the stock.
All certificates representing shares of our common stock will bear a legend referring to the restrictions described above. The foregoing ownership limitations could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change in control of the Company that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of stockholders.
As set forth in the U.S. Treasury (the “Treasury”) regulations promulgated under the Code, every owner of a specified percentage (or more) of the outstanding shares of our stock (including both common stock and preferred stock) must file a completed questionnaire with us containing information regarding their ownership of such shares. Under current Treasury regulations, the percentage will be set between 0.5% and 5.0%, depending upon the number of record holders of our shares of stock. Under our charter, each common stockholder shall upon demand be required to disclose to us in writing such information as we may request, in good faith, in order to determine the effect, if any, of such common stockholder’s actual and constructive ownership of common stock on our status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the ownership limit, or any other limit as provided in our charter or as otherwise permitted by our board of directors.
The transfer restrictions and limitations described above could delay or prevent a tender offer or change in control of the Company or reduce the possibility that a third party will attempt such a transaction, even if a tender offer or a change in control were in our stockholders’ best interests or involved a premium price for our stock, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock or any class or series of our preferred stock.
Election and Removal of Directors
Our charter and bylaws provide that our board of directors may establish the number of directors of the Company as long as the number is not fewer than the minimum number required under the MGCL, which is one, nor, unless our bylaws are amended, more than 15.
Pursuant to our charter, each of our directors is elected by our stockholders to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders following his or her election and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies.
Pursuant to our bylaws, directors in uncontested elections are elected upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast for and against such nominee at a duly called meeting of stockholders, and directors in contested elections are elected by the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast. In both uncontested and contested elections, holders of shares of our common stock have no right to cumulative voting in the election of directors. Consequently, at each annual meeting of stockholders, the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock will be able to elect all of our directors.
Under the MGCL and our bylaws, except as otherwise provided in the terms of any class or series of our stock, vacancies on our board of directors created by any reason other than an increase in the number of directors may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, and any vacancy in the number of directors created by an increase in the number of directors may be filled by a majority vote of the entire board. Any individual elected to fill a vacancy will serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies.
5



Our charter provides that, subject to the rights of holders of shares of one or more classes or series of preferred stock to elect or remove one or more directors, a director may be removed at any time, but only for cause (as defined in our charter) and by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors.
Amendment to Charter and Bylaws
Except as provided in the MGCL, amendments to our charter must be advised by our board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of our stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Our board of directors generally has the power to amend our bylaws; provided, that, amendments to certain provisions in our bylaws related to a written statement required to be furnished to stockholders in the event of certain distributions, our investment policy and restrictions, an annual report to stockholders and the definitions used in those sections of our bylaws must be approved by the affirmative vote of our stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Additionally, stockholders may alter or repeal any provision of our bylaws and adopt new bylaw provisions with the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter pursuant to a binding proposal that is properly submitted by stockholders for approval at a duly called annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders.
Maryland Business Combination Act
Under the MGCL, certain “business combinations” (including certain issuances of equity securities) between a Maryland corporation and any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, ten percent or more of the voting power of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock, or an affiliate or associate of the corporation who beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, ten percent or more of the voting power at any time within the preceding two years, in each case referred to as an “interested stockholder,” or an affiliate thereof, are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Thereafter, any such business combination must be approved by two super-majority stockholder votes unless, among other conditions, the corporation’s common stockholders receive a minimum price (as defined in the MGCL) for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares of common stock. The business combination provisions of the MGCL do not apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by the board of directors prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. These provisions of the MGCL may delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control of our Company that might involve a premium price for our common stock or any class or series of our preferred stock, or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.
Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act
The MGCL provides that holders of “control shares” of a Maryland corporation acquired in a “control share acquisition” have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares of stock owned by the acquirer, by officers of the corporation or by employees who are also directors of the corporation. “Control shares” are voting shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other such shares of stock previously acquired by the acquiror or in respect of which the acquiror is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquiror to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting power: (1) one-tenth or more but less than one-third, (2) one-third or more but less than a majority, or (3) a majority or more of all voting power. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval.
6



A “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of issued and outstanding control shares, subject to certain exceptions.
A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition, upon satisfaction of certain conditions (including an undertaking to pay expenses), may compel the board of directors of the corporation to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares. If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the question at any stockholders meeting.
If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute, then, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the corporation may redeem for fair value any and all of the control shares (except those for which voting rights have previously been approved). Fair value is determined, without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date of the last control share acquisition by the acquiror or, if a meeting of stockholders is held at which the voting rights of such shares are considered and not approved, as of the date of the meeting. If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquiror becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights, meaning that they may require us to repurchase their shares for their appraised value as determined pursuant to the MGCL. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of such appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquiror in the control share acquisition.
The control share acquisition statute does not apply to (1) shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction, or (2) acquisitions exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation, adopted at any time before the acquisition of the shares.
As permitted by the MGCL, our bylaws contain a provision exempting us from the control share acquisition statute. That bylaw provision states that the control share statute shall not apply to any acquisition by any person of shares of our stock. Our board of directors may, without the consent of any of our stockholders, amend or eliminate this bylaw provision at any time, which means that we would then become subject to the Maryland control share acquisition statute, and there can be no assurance that such provision will not be amended or eliminated by our board of directors at any time in the future.
Subtitle 8
Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the MGCL permits a Maryland corporation with a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act, and at least three independent directors to elect, by provision in its charter or bylaws or a resolution of its board of directors and notwithstanding any contrary provision in the charter or bylaws, to be subject to any or all of five provisions, including:
•a classified board;
•a two-thirds vote requirement for removing a director;
•a requirement that the number of directors be fixed only by vote of the board of directors;
•a requirement that a vacancy on the board of directors be filled only by a vote of the remaining directors in office and for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies; and
7



•a majority requirement for the calling of a stockholder-requested special meeting of stockholders.
We have not elected to be subject to any of the provisions of Subtitle 8, including the provisions that would permit us to classify our board of directors or increase the vote required to remove a director without stockholder approval. Through provisions in our charter and bylaws unrelated to Subtitle 8, we (1) vest in our board of directors the exclusive power to fix the number of directors and (2) require, unless called by our chairman, our chief executive officer, our president or our board of directors, the request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting to call a special meeting of stockholders. The provisions of Subtitle 8 expressly provide that Subtitle 8 does not limit the power of a Maryland corporation, by provision in its charter, to confer on the holders of any class or series of preferred stock the right to elect one or more directors or designate the terms and voting powers of directors, which may vary among directors.
Special Meetings of Stockholders
Pursuant to our bylaws, our chairman, our chief executive officer, our president or our board of directors may call a special meeting of our stockholders. Subject to the provisions of our bylaws, a special meeting of our stockholders to act on any matter that may properly be considered by our stockholders will also be called by our secretary upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting on such matter, accompanied by the information required by our bylaws. Our secretary will inform the requesting stockholders of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and delivering the notice of meeting (including our proxy materials), and the requesting stockholder must pay such estimated cost before our secretary may prepare and deliver the notice of the special meeting.
Proxy Access
Our bylaws include provisions permitting, subject to certain eligibility, procedural and disclosure requirements, qualifying stockholders, or a qualifying group of no more than 20 stockholders, who have maintained continuous ownership of at least three percent of our outstanding shares of common stock for at least three years to require us to include in our proxy materials for an annual meeting of stockholders a number of director nominees not to exceed the greater of two nominees or 20 percent of the number of directors up for election.
8



Advance Notice of Director Nomination and New Business
Our bylaws provide that nominations of individuals for election as directors and proposals of business to be considered by stockholders at any annual meeting may be made only (1) pursuant to our notice of the meeting, (2) by or at the direction of our board of directors or (3) by any stockholder who was a stockholder of record at the record date set by our board of directors for the annual meeting, at the time of giving the notice required by our bylaws and at the time of the meeting (and any postponement or adjournment thereof), who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated or on such other proposed business and who has complied with the advance notice procedures and other applicable requirements of our bylaws, including, if applicable, the proxy access provisions of our bylaws. Stockholders generally must provide notice to our secretary not earlier than the 150th day or later than 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on the 120th day before the first anniversary of the date our proxy statement was released for the preceding year’s annual meeting.
Only the business specified in the notice of the meeting may be brought before a special meeting of our stockholders. Nominations of individuals for election as directors at a special meeting of stockholders may be made only (1) by or at the direction of our board of directors, (2) by a stockholder that has requested that a special meeting be called for the purpose of electing directors in compliance with our bylaws or (3) if the special meeting has been called in accordance with our bylaws for the purpose of electing directors, by a stockholder who is a stockholder of record at the record date set by our board of directors for the special meeting, at the time of giving the notice required by our bylaws and at the time of the special meeting (and any postponement or adjournment thereof), who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated and who has complied with the advance notice procedures and other applicable requirements of our bylaws. Stockholders generally must provide notice to our secretary not earlier than the 120th day before such special meeting or later than 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on the later of the 90th day before the special meeting or the tenth day after the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting and such stockholder must satisfy the other applicable requirements set forth in our bylaws.
A stockholder’s notice must contain certain information specified by our bylaws about the stockholder, its affiliates and any proposed business or nominee for election as a director, including information about the economic interest of the stockholder, its affiliates and any proposed nominee in us.
Exclusive Forum
Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, any state court of competent jurisdiction in Maryland, or, if such state courts do not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court located in the State of Maryland, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf (other than actions arising under federal securities laws), (b) any Internal Corporate Claim, as such term is defined in the MGCL, including, without limitation (i) any action asserting a claim based on an alleged breach of any duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or to our stockholders or (ii) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL, our charter or our bylaws, or (c) any other action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. These choice of forum provisions will not apply to any action or proceeding under federal securities laws or claims arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
Furthermore, our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any cause of action arising under the Securities Act.
9



Although our bylaws contain the choice of forum provisions described above, it is possible that a court could rule that such provisions are inapplicable for a particular claim or action or that such provisions are unenforceable. For example, under the Securities Act, federal courts have concurrent jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act, and investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. In addition, the exclusive forum provisions described above do not apply to any actions brought under the Exchange Act.
Effect of Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and our Charter and Bylaws
Our charter contains restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock intended to, among other purposes, assist us in maintaining our status as a REIT for United States federal and/or state income tax purposes. For example, our charter restricts any person or entity from acquiring actual or constructive ownership of more than 9.8% (by value or by number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of our outstanding shares of common stock. See “— Restrictions on Ownership and Transfers of Stock” above. These restrictions could delay or prevent a tender offer or change in control of our Company or reduce the possibility that a third party will attempt such a transaction, even if a tender offer or a change of control were in our stockholders’ interests or involved a premium price for our common stock, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Our charter authorizes our board of directors to issue preferred stock of the Company, including convertible preferred stock, without stockholder approval. Our board of directors may establish the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption of any class or series of preferred stock we may issue, which may include voting rights and rights to convert such preferred stock into common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could delay or prevent a tender offer or change in control of the Company or reduce the possibility that a third party will attempt such a transaction, even if a tender offer or a change of control were in our stockholders’ interests or involved a premium price for our common stock or any class or series of our preferred stock, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and any such class or series of preferred stock.
Our charter and bylaws also provide that the number of directors may be established only by our board of directors, which prevents our stockholders from increasing the number of our directors and filling any vacancies created by such increase with their own nominees. The provisions of our bylaws discussed above under the captions “Special Meetings of Stockholders” and “Advance Notice of Director Nomination and New Business” require stockholders seeking to call a special meeting, nominate an individual for election as a director or propose other business at an annual or special meeting to comply with certain notice and information requirements. These provisions, alone or in combination, could make it more difficult for our stockholders to remove incumbent directors or fill vacancies on our board of directors with their own nominees and could delay or prevent a proxy contest, tender offer or change in control of the Company or reduce the possibility that a third party will attempt such a contest or transaction, even if a proxy contest, tender offer or a change of control were in our stockholders’ interests or involved a premium price for our common stock or any class or series of our preferred stock, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and any such class or series of preferred stock.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
The MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from:
•actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services, or
•active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action.
Our charter contains such a provision which eliminates such liability to the maximum extent permitted by the MGCL.
Our charter authorizes us, and our bylaws obligate us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to any present or former director or officer who is made or threatened to be made a party to, or witness in, the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity or any individual who, while serving as one of our directors or officers and at our request, serves or has served as a director, officer, partner, trustee, member or manager of another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise and who is made or threatened to be made a party to, or witness in, the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity. Our charter and bylaws also permit us to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served a predecessor of ours in any of the capacities described above and to any employee or agent of ours or our predecessor.
The MGCL requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. The MGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to or in which they may be made or are threatened to be made a party or witness by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. In addition, the MGCL permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation’s receipt of (a) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (b) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.
Transfer Agent
The registrar and transfer agent for our common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
The following description of each of the series of the notes and the indenture dated as of October 28, 1998 (the “Indenture”) between Realty Income and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (successor trustee to The Bank of New York), as trustee (the “Trustee”) pursuant to which the notes were issued is a summary and is not complete. These statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the provisions of each respective series of the notes, the officers’ certificate establishing the form and terms of each respective series of the notes and the Indenture, including the definitions in the notes of each series and Indenture of certain terms, and which have been filed as exhibits to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The terms of the notes include those provisions contained in the Indenture and the officers’ certificates establishing the form and terms of each respective series of the notes (each, an “Officers’ Certificate”) and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”). The notes are subject to all those terms, and investors are referred to the Indenture, such officers’ certificates and the TIA for a statement of those terms. Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, all references to the “Company,” “Realty Income,” “our,” “we,” and “us” appearing under this caption “Description of Notes” mean Realty Income Corporation, a Maryland corporation, excluding its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, references to “debt securities” under this caption “Description of Notes” include the notes, each of which are a separate series of our debt securities issued under the Indenture. Other capitalized terms used under this caption, but not otherwise defined, shall have the meanings given to them in the Indenture. Copies of the Indenture, the Officers’ Certificates and the form of notes have been filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or a subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K filed by us with the SEC.

General
We are permitted by the Indenture to issue our debt securities thereunder from time to time in one or more series. On October 1, 2020, we issued £400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the October 2030 notes as a new, separate series of our debt securities under the Indenture. On July 8, 2021, we issued £400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the July 2027 notes and £350.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2033 notes, each as a new, separate series of our debt securities under the Indenture. On January 11, 2022, we issued £250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the January 2027 notes and £250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2042 notes, each as new, separate series of our debt securities under the Indenture.

The Indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue under the Indenture, and we may from time to time issue debt securities in one or more series up to the aggregate amount authorized by us for each series. We may, without the consent of the holders of the notes, re-open this series of notes and issue additional notes of this series under the Indenture in addition to the notes previously issued, and any such additional notes shall be part of the same series of debt securities under the Indenture as this series of notes.
12



The notes have been issued in fully registered form, without interest coupons, in denominations of £100,000 and integral multiples of £1,000 in excess thereof. The notes are denominated in GBP (as defined below). The principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, and Additional Amounts (as defined below), if any, in respect of, the notes are payable in GBP, except under the circumstances described below under “-Issuance in GBP” and “-Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance of the Notes.” The notes are evidenced by one or more global notes (collectively, the “Global Note”) in book-entry form, except under the limited circumstances described below under “-Certificated Notes.” The Global Note is registered in the name of a nominee of, and deposited with or on behalf of, a common depositary (the “common depositary”) for Euroclear Bank SA/NV (“Euroclear”, which term includes any successor securities clearing agency thereto) and Clearstream Banking S.A. (“Clearstream”, which term includes any successor securities clearing agency thereto). Except in the limited circumstances described below under “-Certificated Notes”, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Note are not entitled to have notes registered in their names and do not receive and are not entitled to receive notes in definitive certificated form.
For purposes of the notes, unless otherwise expressly stated under this caption “Description of Notes,” (i) a “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, that is not a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York or in London, England are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close, (ii) “sterling,” “£” and “GBP” mean the lawful currency of the United Kingdom and (iii) “U.S. dollars,” “USD” and “$” mean United States dollars.
Reference is made to the section titled “-Certain Covenants” below for a description of certain covenants applicable to the notes of each series. Compliance with these covenants generally may be waived, insofar as concerns the notes of each series, if the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of each series consent to such waiver.
Except to the limited extent described under “-Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets” or “-Certain Covenants” below, the Indenture does not contain any provisions that would afford holders of the notes protection in the event of (1) a highly leveraged or similar transaction involving Realty Income, (2) a change of control or management of Realty Income, or (3) a reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar transaction involving Realty Income that may adversely affect the holders of the notes. In addition, subject to compliance with the covenants set forth under “-Certain Covenants” below and, if applicable, covenants in other debt instruments and the covenant set forth under “-Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets” below, Realty Income may, in the future, enter into certain transactions such as the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or the merger or consolidation of Realty Income with another entity that could substantially increase the amount of Realty Income’s indebtedness or substantially reduce Realty Income’s assets, which may have an adverse effect on Realty Income’s ability to service its indebtedness, including the notes.
Paying Agent and Transfer Agent
The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, acts as the paying agent for the notes of each series. The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. acts as the trustee and the transfer agent for the notes of each series. We may change any paying agent or transfer agent and appoint additional paying agents and transfer agents with respect to the notes of either series, so long as we at all times maintain a paying agent for the notes of such series in London, England and a transfer agent for the notes of such series in Chicago, Illinois.
Issuance in GBP
Investors that purchased the notes were required to pay for those notes in GBP.
13



Except as described in the next paragraph and in the proviso to this sentence, all payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, and Additional Amounts (as defined below), if any, in respect of, the notes must be made in GBP; provided that if GBP is unavailable to us due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond our control, then all payments in respect of the notes of each series will be made in U.S. dollars until GBP is again available to us. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in GBP will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve System (or any successor thereto) as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, if the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve System (or any successor thereto) has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent U.S. dollar/GBP exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal (or any successor thereto) on or prior to the second Business Day, prior to the relevant payment date. Any payment in respect of the notes of each series so made in U.S. dollars under such circumstances will not constitute an event of default (as defined; see “- Events of Default” below) with respect to the notes of each series under the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the paying agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the foregoing.
See “- Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance of the Notes” below for a discussion of certain other circumstances (which would apply only after we effected defeasance or covenant defeasance of the notes of the applicable series) under which the notes of such series could be payable in a currency other than GBP.
Ranking
The notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The notes are our obligations exclusively, however, and are not the obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, any of our subsidiaries, nor are any of our subsidiaries required to provide funds to us, whether by dividend, loan or otherwise, to make payments on the notes. The notes are therefore effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries from time to time outstanding, including any guarantees of our indebtedness by any of our subsidiaries, and are also subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured indebtedness of us and our subsidiaries to the extent of the value of the collateral pledged as security therefor. Our revolving credit facility, term loan facility and privately placed Sterling notes include other provisions that, under specified circumstances, may in the future require subsidiaries of ours to guarantee those facilities and privately placed Sterling notes, and we may voluntarily cause any of our subsidiaries to become a guarantor under our revolving credit facility, term loan facility, privately placed Sterling notes or any other indebtedness of ours to the extent we consider appropriate to remain in compliance with certain covenants thereunder or for any other reasons. Although the Indenture and other debt instruments to which we are a party limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, both we and our subsidiaries have the right to incur substantial additional secured and unsecured indebtedness.

•file with the Trustee copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents that Realty Income would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if Realty Income was subject to those Sections; and
•supply promptly, upon written request and payment of the reasonable cost of duplication and delivery, copies of these documents to any prospective holder of the notes.
For purposes of the foregoing covenants, the term “Subsidiary” means any other person of which more than 50% of (a) the equity or other ownership interests or (b) the total voting power of shares of capital stock or other ownership interests entitled (without regard to the occurrence of any contingency) to vote in the election of directors, managers, trustees or general or managing partners thereof is at the time owned by Realty Income or one or more of its Subsidiaries or a combination thereof.
Limitation on Incurrence of Total Debt. Realty Income will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt, other than Intercompany Debt, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of Realty Income and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 60% of the sum of (1) Realty Income’s Total Assets as of the end of the latest fiscal quarter covered in Realty Income’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (or, if such filing is not required under the Exchange Act, with the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt and (2) the increase, if any, in Total Assets from the end of such quarter including, without limitation, any increase in Total Assets caused by the application of the proceeds of such additional Debt (such increase together with Realty Income’s Total Assets are referred to as the “Adjusted Total Assets”).
Limitation on Incurrence of Secured Debt. Realty Income will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Secured Debt, other than Intercompany Debt, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Secured Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt of Realty Income and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 40% of Realty Income’s Adjusted Total Assets.
Debt Service Coverage. Realty Income will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt, other than Intercompany Debt, if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Debt Service Charge for the period consisting of the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred is less than 1.5 to 1.0, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that (1) such Debt and any other Debt incurred by Realty Income or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds therefrom (including to refinance other Debt since the first day of such four-quarter period) had occurred on the first day of such period, (2) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt of Realty Income or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period had occurred on the first day of such period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility, line of credit or similar facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period), and (3) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by Realty Income or any Subsidiary of any asset or group of assets since the first day of such four-quarter period, including, without limitation, by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition had occurred on the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation.
23



If the Debt giving rise to the need to make the foregoing calculation or any other Debt incurred after the first day of the relevant four-quarter period bears interest at a floating rate then, for purposes of calculating the Annual Debt Service Charge, the interest rate on such Debt shall be computed on a pro forma basis as if the average interest rate which would have been in effect during the entire such four-quarter period had been the applicable rate for the entire such period.

(b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the 2042 notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the applicable redemption date), assuming that the 2042 notes matured and that accrued and unpaid interest on the 2042 notes was payable on the 2042 Par Call Date, discounted to such redemption date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 20 basis points, plus, in the case of both clauses (a) and (b) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the 2042 notes being redeemed to such redemption date.
29



On and after the applicable Par Call Date, the notes of such series are redeemable at any time in whole or from time to time in part at the option of Realty Income at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes of the applicable series to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the notes of such series being redeemed to the applicable redemption date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on notes of each series that are due and payable on an interest payment date for the notes of such series falling on or prior to a redemption date for the notes of such series will be payable to the persons who were the Holders of the notes of such series (or one or more predecessor notes of such series) registered as such at the close of business on the relevant regular record date for the notes of such series according to their terms and the provisions of the Indenture.
“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date for the notes of any series, the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the notes of such series to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third Business Day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such Business Day of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Business Day as determined by an independent investment bank selected by Realty Income.
“Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by Realty Income, a United Kingdom government bond whose maturity is closest to the applicable Par Call Date or, if such independent investment bank in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other United Kingdom government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of the three brokers of, and/or market makers in, United Kingdom government bonds selected by Realty Income, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.
Notice of any such redemption of the notes of any series shall be given to the Holders of the notes of such series called for redemption, and, if less than all the outstanding notes of any series are to be redeemed, the notes of such series to be redeemed shall be selected, as described below under “-Notice of Redemption.”
Unless Realty Income defaults in payment of the redemption price for the notes of any series, on and after any redemption date for the notes of such series interest will cease to accrue on the notes of such series or portions thereof called for redemption.
Redemption for Changes in Taxes
30



If (1)(a) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) or treaties of the United States (as defined below) or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein having power to tax (each, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), or any change in, or amendment to, any official position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published administrative practice), which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the issuance dates of each series of notes, as applicable, Realty Income becomes or will become obligated to pay any Additional Amounts (as defined under “-Payment of Additional Amounts” below) in respect of the notes of any series or (b) any act is taken by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on or after the issuance dates of each series of notes, as applicable, whether or not such act is taken with respect to Realty Income or any affiliate of Realty Income, that results in a substantial probability that Realty Income will or may be required to pay any Additional Amounts in respect of the notes of any series, and (2) Realty Income determines, in its business judgment, that the obligation to pay Additional Amounts in respect of the notes of such series cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to it, including by making payments through a different paying agent (provided that such reasonable measures do not include substitution of another entity as the obligor under the notes of such series), then Realty Income may, at its option, redeem the notes of such series, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes of such series, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes of such series to the applicable redemption date. Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions of this paragraph, installments of interest on notes of any series that are due and payable on an interest payment date for the notes of such series falling on or prior to a redemption date for the notes of such series will be payable to the persons who were the Holders of the notes of such series (or one or more predecessor notes of such series) registered as such at the close of business on the relevant regular record date for the notes of such series according to their terms and the provisions of the Indenture. No redemption of the notes of any series pursuant to this paragraph may be made unless Realty Income has received a written opinion of independent counsel to the effect that, as a result of such change or amendment Realty Income has become or will become obligated to pay, or that such act taken by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction has resulted in a substantial probability that Realty Income will or may be required to pay, any Additional Amounts in respect of the notes of such series, and Realty Income shall have delivered to the Trustee such legal opinion together with an officers’ certificates stating that, based on such opinion, Realty Income is entitled to redeem the notes of such series pursuant to the provisions described in this paragraph and the other provisions of the notes of such series and the Indenture.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such officers’ certificates and opinion of counsel as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions precedent as described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the notes of the applicable series.
Notice of any such redemption will be given to the Holders of the notes of the applicable series as described below under “-Notice of Redemption.”
Unless Realty Income defaults in payment of the redemption price for the notes of any series, on and after the redemption date for the notes of such series interest will cease to accrue on the notes of such series called for redemption.
As used in under this caption “- Redemption for Changes In Taxes” and under the caption “- Payment of Additional Amounts” below the term “United States” means the United States of America (including the states and the District of Columbia), its territories, its possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction.
Notice of Redemption
Notice of any redemption of the notes of any series by Realty Income will be transmitted at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the applicable redemption date to each Holder of notes of such series to be redeemed. If less than all of the outstanding notes of any series (including, without limitation, any outstanding notes of such series issued upon a re-opening of such series) are to be redeemed, the notes of such series to be redeemed shall be selected, so long as the notes of such series are in book-entry form, in accordance with the applicable procedures of Clearstream, Euroclear or the common depositary, as applicable, or if the notes of such series are issued in definitive certificated form under the limited circumstances described below under “-Certificated Notes,” by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that no note of such series shall be redeemed in part unless the remaining principal amount of such note is £100,000 or an integral multiple of £1,000 in excess thereof.
31



Payment of Additional Amounts
All payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the notes of each series will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge of whatsoever nature (collectively, “Taxes”) imposed by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required by law or the official interpretation or administration thereof.
In the event that any withholding or deduction from or on any payments on or in respect of the notes of any series for or on account of any Taxes is required by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, Realty Income will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay, as additional interest on the notes of such series, such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as will result in receipt by each holder of a note of such series that is not a United States Person (as defined below) of such amounts (after all such withholding or deduction, including from or on any Additional Amounts) as would have been received by such holder had no such withholding or deduction been required. Realty Income will not be required, however, to make any payment of Additional Amounts in respect of the notes of any series for or on account of:
(1)any Taxes that are imposed or withheld by reason of a holder of the notes of such series (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such holder holds such note) (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the holder if the holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder) being considered as:

(a)being or having been present or engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States;
(b)having a current or former relationship with the United States, including a relationship as a citizen or resident thereof;
(c)being or having been a foreign or domestic personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United States or a corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;
(d)being or having been a “10 percent shareholder” of Realty Income within the meaning of section 871(h)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any successor provision;
(e)being a controlled foreign corporation that is related to us within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code or any successor provision; or
(f)being or having been a bank receiving interest described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code or any successor provision;
(2)any holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the note of such series, or a portion thereof, or that is a fiduciary, limited liability company or partnership, but only to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership or limited liability company would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;
32



(3)any Taxes that are imposed or withheld by reason of the failure to (a) comply with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of the holder or beneficial owner of such note of such series, if compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Taxes (including the submission, if applicable, of a United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8 (with any required attachments)) or (b) comply with any information gathering and reporting requirements or to take any similar action (including entering into any agreement with the IRS), in each case, that are required to obtain the maximum available exemption from withholding by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction that is available to payments received by or on behalf of the holder or beneficial owner;
(4)any Taxes that are imposed otherwise than by withholding from the payment;
(5)any Taxes that are imposed or withheld by reason of a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;
(6)any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth or personal property tax or a similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;
(7)any Taxes required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any note of such series, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other paying agent;
(8)any Taxes that are imposed or levied by reason of the presentation (where presentation is required in order to receive payment) of such notes of such series for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable, except to the extent that the holder or beneficial owner thereof would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the notes been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period;
(9)any backup withholding or any Taxes imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any successor provisions thereto), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code (or any successor thereto); or
(10)any combination of any items (1) through (9).
The notes of each series are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable thereto. Except as specifically provided under this heading “-Payment of Additional Amounts,” Realty Income shall not be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein on any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or Additional Amounts in respect of, the notes of any series.
If Realty Income becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the notes of any series, Realty Income will deliver to the Trustee and each paying agent for the notes of such series on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises less than 30 days prior to that payment date, in which case Realty Income shall notify the Trustee and each paying agent promptly after Realty Income becomes aware that such obligation has arisen) an officers’ certificates stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount to be so payable.
33



The officers’ certificates must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the paying agents to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date. The Trustee and each paying agent shall be entitled to rely solely on such officers’ certificates as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary.
As used under this caption “-Payment of Additional Amounts,” the term “United States Person” means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia (other than a partnership that is not treated as a United States Person under any applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations), any estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source, or any trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust or one or more United States fiduciaries have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; and the term “United States” shall have the meaning set forth above under “-Redemption for Changes in Taxes.”
Whenever there is mentioned, in any context (except as otherwise provided in the proviso to this sentence), under this caption “Description of Notes,” the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, or in respect of, any note of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the terms of the notes of such series or the Indenture, and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts anywhere under such captions shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts elsewhere under such captions where such express mention is not made; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing and also notwithstanding anything in the Indenture to the contrary, the references to “principal” and “premium” appearing in clause (2) of the first paragraph under the caption “-Events of Default, Notice and Waiver” below shall not include any Additional Amounts that may be payable in respect of the principal of or premium, if any, on the notes of any series. Because, as described above, all Additional Amounts, if any, payable in respect of the notes of any series will be treated as additional interest on the notes of such series, the proviso to the foregoing sentence means that, for purposes of determining whether an event of default has occurred with respect to the notes of such series, any failure by us to pay any Additional Amounts that are payable in respect of the notes of such series when due will be entitled to the same 30 day grace period to which a failure to pay interest on the notes of such series when due would be entitled as described in clause (1) of the first paragraph under the caption “-Events of Default, Notice and Waiver” below. As a result, any failure by us to pay Additional Amounts in respect of the notes of any series (including, without limitation, Additional Amounts payable in respect of principal of or premium, if any, on the notes of such series) when due will not be an event of default with respect to the notes of such series under the Indenture unless that default continues for 30 days.
Notwithstanding any discharge, defeasance or covenant defeasance of the notes of any series or the Indenture as described under “-Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance” below, the provisions described under this caption “-Payment of Additional Amounts” shall survive any such discharge, defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, and remain in full force and effect and shall also survive any transfer by a Holder or beneficial owner of its notes of such series or its beneficial interest in the Global Note of such series.
34



Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
Upon our request the Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the notes of any series (except as to certain limited provisions of the Indenture which shall survive) when either (a) all of the notes of such series have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation or (b) all of the notes of such series have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year (or are scheduled for redemption within one year) and we have irrevocably deposited with the applicable trustee, in trust, funds in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the notes of such series are payable an amount sufficient to pay the entire indebtedness on the notes of such series in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the date of the deposit (if the notes have become due and payable) or to the stated maturity or redemption date, as the case may be.
The Indenture provides that we may elect either to:
•defease and be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to the notes (except for the obligation, if any, to pay additional amounts in respect of certain taxes imposed on non-U.S. holders of the notes and the obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the notes, to replace temporary or mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes, to maintain an office or agency in respect of the notes and to hold money for payment in trust) (“defeasance”); or
•be released from our obligations with respect to certain covenants applicable to the notes under the Indenture (including, subject to a limited exception, with respect to Realty Income’s obligation to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, the covenants described under “-Certain Covenants”), and any omission to comply with these obligations shall not constitute a default or an event of default with respect to the notes (“covenant defeasance”),
in either case upon our irrevocable deposit with the applicable trustee, in trust, of an amount, in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the notes are payable at stated maturity, or Government Obligations (as defined below), or both, applicable to the notes that through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the notes, and any mandatory sinking fund or analogous payments on the notes, on the scheduled due dates.
A trust may only be established if, among other things, we have delivered to the applicable trustee an opinion of counsel (as specified in the Indenture) to the effect that the holders of the notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred. Additionally, in the case of defeasance, an opinion of counsel must refer to and be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or a change in applicable United States federal income tax law occurring after the date of the Indenture. In the event of defeasance, the holders of the notes will thereafter be able to look only to the trust fund for payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest.
35



“Government Obligations” means securities that are (a) direct obligations of the United States of America or the government which issued the foreign currency in which the notes are payable, for the payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged, or (b) obligations of a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America or the government which issued the foreign currency in which the notes are payable, the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America or the other government, which, in either case, are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any Government Obligation or a specific payment of interest on or principal of any Government Obligation held by a custodian for the account of the holder of a depository receipt; provided, however, that (except as required by law) the custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of the depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the Government Obligation or the specific payment of interest on or principal of the Government Obligation evidenced by the depository receipt.
If, after we have deposited funds and/or Government Obligations to effect defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the notes:
•the holder of any note is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to the Indenture or the terms of the note to receive payment in a currency, currency unit or composite currency other than that in which the deposit has been made in respect of that note, or
•a Conversion Event (as defined below) occurs in respect of the currency, currency unit or composite currency in which the deposit has been made, then the indebtedness represented by that note will be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on that note as they become due out of the proceeds yielded by converting the amount or other property so deposited in respect of that note into the currency, currency unit or composite currency in which that note becomes payable as a result of the election or Conversion Event based on the applicable market exchange rate in effect on the second business day prior to each payment date. “Conversion Event” means the cessation of use of:
•a currency, currency unit or composite currency both by the government of the country which issued the currency and for the settlement of transactions by a central bank or other public institution of or within the international banking community; or
•any currency unit or composite currency for the purposes for which it was established.
In the event we effect a covenant defeasance with respect to the notes and the notes are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any event of default, other than an event of default due to a breach of any of the covenants as to which there has been covenant defeasance (which covenants would no longer be applicable to the notes as a result of such covenant defeasance), the cash and Government Obligations on deposit with the applicable trustee may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the notes at the time of the acceleration resulting from the event of default. We would, however, remain obligated to make payment of the amounts due at the time of acceleration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, our obligation to pay Additional Amounts on the notes pursuant to the provisions described above under “-Payment of Additional Amounts” shall survive any such discharge, defeasance or covenant defeasance and remain in full force and effect. In addition, covenant defeasance will be applicable, insofar as concerns the notes, with respect to the covenants described under “-Certain Covenants” (except the covenant requiring Realty Income to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence).
36



Events of Default, Notice and Waiver
The following events are “events of default” pursuant to the terms of the notes and the Indenture:
(1)default for 30 days in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the notes;
(2)default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the notes when due, whether at stated maturity or by declaration of acceleration, notice of redemption, notice of option to elect repayment or otherwise;
(3)default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of any of the notes;
(4)default in the performance of any of our other covenants contained in the Indenture or in the notes (other than any covenant added to the Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of debt securities issued thereunder other than the notes), which continues for 60 days after written notice is given to us by the trustee or to us and the trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the notes;
(5)default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed by us or any of our Subsidiaries (including obligations under leases required to be capitalized on the balance sheet of the lessee under generally accepted accounting principles, but not including any indebtedness or obligations for which recourse is limited to property purchased) in an aggregate principal amount in excess of, (i) in the case of the January 2027 notes, the July 2027 notes, the July 2030 notes, the October 2030 notes, the 2031 notes, the 2033 notes, the 2034 notes, the 2039 notes, and the 2042 notes, $25,000,000, and (ii) in the case of the 2029 notes and the 2041 notes, $200,000,000, or under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by us or any of our Subsidiaries (including such leases, but not including such indebtedness or obligations for which recourse is limited to property purchased) in an aggregate principal amount in excess of , (i) in the case of the January 2027 notes, the July 2027 notes, the July 2030 notes, the October 2030 notes, the 2031 notes, the 2033 notes, the 2034 notes, the 2039 notes, and the 2042 notes, $25,000,000, and (ii) in the case of the 2029 notes and the 2041 notes, $200,000,000, whether the indebtedness exists at the date of the relevant indenture or shall thereafter be created, which default shall have resulted in the indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable or which default shall have resulted in the obligation being accelerated, without the acceleration having been rescinded or annulled; or
(6)certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to us or any of our Significant Subsidiaries.
The term “Significant Subsidiary” as used above has the meaning ascribed to the term in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act, as the Regulation was in effect on January 1, 1996.
If an event of default with respect to the notes of any series occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the notes of such series may declare the principal amount of all the notes to be due and payable immediately by written notice thereof to us (and to the Trustee if given by the holders). However, at any time after the declaration of acceleration with respect to the notes of such series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the holders of not less than a majority of the principal amount of the outstanding notes, as applicable, may rescind and annul the declaration and its consequences if:
37



•we shall have deposited with the applicable trustee all required payments of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the notes (other than principal that has become due solely as a result of the acceleration), plus certain fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the applicable trustee; and
•all events of default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal (or specified portion thereof), premium, if any, and interest with respect to the notes, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture.
The holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of such series may waive any past default with respect to the notes of such series and its consequences, except:
•a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any of the notes; or
•a default in respect of a covenant or provision contained in the Indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding note affected by the default.
The Trustee must give notice of a default under the Indenture to the holders of the notes within 90 days unless the default shall have been cured or waived, subject to certain exceptions; provided, however, that the Trustee may withhold notice to the holders of the notes of any default with respect to the notes (except a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any of the notes or in the payment of any sinking fund installment in respect of any of the notes) if specified Responsible Officers of the Trustee consider a withholding to be in those holders’ interest.
No holders of the notes may institute any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, except in the case of failure of the Trustee, for 60 days, to act after it has received a written request to institute proceedings in respect of an event of default from the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes, as well as an offer of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and no direction inconsistent with the written request has been given to the Trustee during the 60-day period by holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes. This provision will not prevent, however, any holder of notes from instituting suit for the enforcement of payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on those notes at the respective due dates thereof.
Subject to provisions in the TIA relating to its duties in case of default, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any holders of the notes, unless those holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity. The holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or of exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee; provided that the direction shall not conflict with any rule of law or the Indenture, and provided further that the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that may involve the Trustee in personal liability or that may be unduly prejudicial to the holders of the notes not joining in the direction to the Trustee.
Within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year, we are required to deliver to the Trustee a certificate, signed by one of several specified officers, stating whether or not the officer has knowledge of any default under the Indenture and, if so, specifying each default and the nature and status thereof.
38



As described above under “-Payments of Additional Amounts,” because all Additional Amounts, if any, payable in respect to the notes of any series will be treated as additional interest on the notes of such series, any failure by us to pay Additional Amounts in respect to the notes of such series when due will be entitled to the same 30 day grace period to which a failure to pay interest on the notes of such series when due would be entitled as described in clause (1) of the first paragraph under this caption “-Events of Default, Notice and Waiver.” As a result, any failure by us to pay Additional Amounts in respect of the notes of any series (including, without limitation, Additional Amounts payable in respect of principal of or premium, if any, on the notes of any series) when due will not be an event of default with respect to the notes of such series under the Indenture unless that default continues for 30 days. For additional information, see “- Payment of Additional Amounts” above.
Modification of the Indenture
Modifications and amendments of the Indenture will be permitted with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all outstanding debt securities of each series issued under the Indenture, including the notes, affected by the modification or amendment; provided, however, that no modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each debt security affected thereby:
•change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of, or interest (or premium, if any) on any debt security, including the notes;
•reduce the principal amount of, or the rate or amount of interest on, or any premium payable on redemption of any debt security, including the notes, or reduce the amount of principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity of the Original Issue Discount Security or would be provable in bankruptcy, or adversely affect any right of repayment at the option of the holder of any debt security (or reduce the amount of premium payable upon any repayment);
•change the place of payment, or the coin or currency, for payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any debt security, including the notes;
•impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any debt security, including the notes, when due;
•reduce the above-stated percentage of outstanding debt securities of any series, including the notes, necessary to modify or amend the Indenture to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or certain defaults and consequences under the Indenture or to reduce the quorum or voting requirements set forth in the Indenture; or
•modify any of the foregoing provisions or any of the provisions relating to the waiver of certain past defaults or certain covenants, except to increase the required percentage to effect the action or to provide that certain other provisions may not be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes may, on behalf of all holders of the notes, waive (insofar as that series is concerned) our compliance with certain restrictive covenants in the Indenture with respect to the notes.
We, along with the Trustee, shall be permitted to modify and amend the Indenture without the consent of any holder of debt securities, in each case, including the notes, for any of the following purposes:
•to evidence the succession of another person to our obligations under the Indenture;
•to add to our covenants for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of debt securities or to surrender any right or power conferred upon us in the Indenture;
•to add events of default for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of debt securities;
•to add or change any provisions of the indenture to provide that debt securities in bearer form may be registerable as to principal or to change or eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal of or any premium or interest on debt securities in bearer form or to make certain other provisions relating to debt securities in bearer form, provided that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the debt securities of any series in any material respect;
•to change or eliminate any provisions of the Indenture, provided that any such change or elimination does not apply to any outstanding debt securities of a series created prior to the date of the amendment or supplement that are entitled to the benefit of that provision;
•to secure the debt securities;
•to establish the form or terms of debt securities of any series, including the provisions and procedures, if applicable, for the conversion of debt securities into common stock or preferred stock;
•to provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or facilitate the administration of the trusts under the indenture by more than one trustee;
•to cure any ambiguity or to correct any defect or inconsistency in the Indenture, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the indenture, provided, however, that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of holders of debt securities of any series in any material respect; or
•to supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to the extent necessary to permit or facilitate defeasance, covenant defeasance and discharge of any series of debt securities, provided, however, that this action shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the debt securities of any series in any material respect.
In determining whether the holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding debt securities of a series, in each case, including the notes, have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver described in the indenture or whether a quorum is present at a meeting of holders of debt securities:
40



•the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding shall be the amount of the principal of that security that would be due and payable as of the date of the determination upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof;
•with respect to the notes, the principal amount of any debt security denominated in a foreign currency that shall be deemed outstanding shall be the U.S. dollar equivalent of the principal amount of such debt security, determined as of the second business day prior to the date of determining whether the requisite principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series have given such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver or whether such a quorum is present;
•with respect to any series of debt securities other than the notes, the principal amount of any debt security denominated in a foreign currency that shall be deemed outstanding shall be the U.S. dollar equivalent, determined on the issue date for the debt security, of the principal amount (or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, the U.S. dollar equivalent on the issue date of the debt security of the amount determined as provided in the first bullet above);
•the principal amount of an Indexed Security that shall be deemed outstanding shall be the principal face amount of the Indexed Security at original issuance; and
•debt securities owned by us or any other obligor upon the debt securities or any affiliate of ours or of the other obligor shall be disregarded.
A meeting of the holders of the notes may be called at any time by the Trustee, and also, upon our request or request of the holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding notes, in any case upon notice given as provided in the Indenture. Except for any consent or waiver that must be given by the holder of each debt security affected thereby, any resolution presented at a meeting or at an adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present, may be adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes; provided, however, that, except as referred to above, any resolution with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that may be made, given or taken by the holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in principal amount of the outstanding notes may be adopted at a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present by the affirmative vote of the holders of the specified percentage in principal amount of the outstanding notes. Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of holders of the notes duly held in accordance with the Indenture will be binding on all holders of the notes. The persons holding or representing a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of holders of the notes; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken at a meeting with respect to a consent or waiver that may be given by the holders of not less than a specified percentage in principal amount of the outstanding notes, the persons holding or representing the specified percentage in principal amount of the outstanding notes will constitute a quorum.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Indenture provides that if any action is to be taken at a meeting of holders of the notes with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that the Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the holders of the notes and one or more additional series: (a) there shall be no minimum quorum requirement for the meeting and (b) the principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all those series that are entitled to vote in favor of the request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be taken into account in determining whether the request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action has been made, given or taken under the Indenture.
41



Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets
Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the notes, we will not consolidate with, sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of our assets to, or merge with or into, any person unless:
•either we shall be the continuing entity, or the successor person (if not us) formed by or resulting from the consolidation or merger or which shall have received the transfer of the assets shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof and shall expressly assume (1) our obligation to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all the debt securities issued under the Indenture, including the notes, and (2) the due and punctual performance and observance of all the covenants and conditions contained in the Indenture and in the notes to be performed or observed by us;
•immediately after giving effect to the transaction and treating any indebtedness that becomes our obligation or the obligation of any Subsidiary as a result of the transaction as having been incurred, and treating any liens on any property or assets of ours or any Subsidiary that are incurred, created or assumed as a result of the transaction as having been created, incurred or assumed, by us or the Subsidiary at the time of the transaction, no event of default under the Indenture, and no event that, after notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an event of default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and
•an officers’ certificates and legal opinion covering these conditions shall be delivered to the Trustee.
Payment
All payments of principal of, premium, if any, interest on, and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of the Global Notes of each series will be made by the paying agent for the notes of such series on behalf of Realty Income by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee.
If notes of either series are issued in definitive certificated form under the limited circumstances described below, under “-Certificated Notes,” payments of interest on the certificated notes of such series may be made, at our option, by check mailed to the addresses of the persons entitled thereto, as such addresses appear in the register for the notes of such series, or by wire transfer to accounts maintained by the payees; provided, however, that a holder of £4 million or more in aggregate principal amount of notes of such series in definitive certificated form will be entitled to receive payments of interest due on any interest payment date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by such holder so long as such holder has given appropriate wire transfer instructions to the Trustee or a paying agent for the notes of such series at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable interest payment date. Any such wire transfer instructions will remain in effect until revoked by such holder or until such person ceases to be a holder of £4 million or more in aggregate principal amount of notes of such series in definitive certificated form.
42



Payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of, the notes of any series in definitive certificated form that are due and payable on the maturity date of the notes of such series, any redemption date for the notes of such series or any other date on which principal of the notes of such series is due and payable will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to accounts specified by the holders thereof, so long as such holders have given appropriate wire transfer instructions to the Trustee or a paying agent for the notes of such series, against surrender of such notes to the Trustee or any such paying agent; provided that installments of interest on notes of such series in definitive certificated form that are due and payable on any interest payment date falling on or prior to such maturity date, redemption date or other date on which principal of the notes of such series is payable will be paid in the manner described in the preceding paragraph to the persons who were the holders of the notes of such series (or one or more predecessor notes of such series) registered as such at the close of business on the relevant regular record dates according to the terms and provisions of the notes of such series and the Indenture.
Book-Entry System
The notes of each series were offered and sold only in denominations of £100,000 and integral multiples of £1,000 in excess thereof. The notes of each series were initially represented by the Global Note of such series. Upon issuance, the Global Notes of any series were deposited with, or on behalf of, a common depositary and registered in the name of the nominee of the common depositary for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream. Except as set forth below, the Global Notes of each series may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to the common depositary or its nominee or to a successor common depositary or its nominee. You may hold your interests in the Global Notes of each series in Europe through Euroclear or Clearstream, either as a participant in such systems or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems. Euroclear and Clearstream hold interests in the Global Notes of any series on behalf of their respective participating organizations or customers through customers’ securities accounts in Euroclear’s or Clearstream’s names on the books of their respective depositaries. Book-entry interests in the notes and all transfers relating to the notes are and will be reflected in the book-entry records of Euroclear and Clearstream.
The distribution of the notes were cleared through Euroclear and Clearstream. Any secondary market trading of book-entry interests in the notes will take place through Euroclear and Clearstream participants and will settle in same-day funds. Owners of book-entry interests in the notes will receive payments relating to their notes in GBP, except as described above under “-Issuance in GBP” and “-Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.”
Euroclear and Clearstream have established electronic securities and payment transfer, processing, depositary and custodial links among themselves and others, either directly or through custodians and depositaries. These links allow the notes to be issued, held and transferred among the clearing systems without the physical transfer of certificates. Special procedures to facilitate clearance and settlement have been established among these clearing systems to trade securities across borders in the secondary market.
The policies of Euroclear and Clearstream govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to the investors’ interest in the notes held by them. None of Realty Income or the Trustee have any responsibility for any aspect of the records kept by Euroclear and Clearstream or any of their direct or indirect participants. Realty Income and the Trustee also do not supervise these systems in any way.
Euroclear and Clearstream and their participants perform these clearance and settlement functions under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers. You should be aware that they are not obligated to perform or continue to perform these procedures and may modify them or discontinue them at any time.
Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in the notes will not be entitled to have the notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the notes in definitive certificated form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the notes under the Indenture, including for purposes of receiving any reports delivered by Realty Income or the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.
43



Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely on the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, as applicable, and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, in order to exercise any rights of a holder.
Euroclear. Euroclear was created in 1968 to hold securities for its participants (“Euroclear Participants”) and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear Participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and eliminating risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear provides various other services, including securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with domestic markets in several countries.
Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank SA/NV (the “Euroclear Operator”). All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator. Euroclear Participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear Participant, either directly or indirectly.
The Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System, or the Euroclear Terms and Conditions, and applicable Belgian law govern securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with the Euroclear Operator. Specifically, these terms and conditions govern transfers of securities and cash within Euroclear, withdrawals of securities and cash from Euroclear, and receipt of payments with respect to securities in Euroclear. All securities in Euroclear are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts. The Euroclear Operator acts under the terms and conditions only on behalf of Euroclear Participants, and has no record of or relationship with persons holding securities through Euroclear Participants.
Distributions with respect to interests in the Global Note held beneficially through Euroclear will be credited to the cash accounts of Euroclear Participants in accordance with the Euroclear Terms and Conditions.
Clearstream. Clearstream is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional depositary. Clearstream holds securities for its participating organizations (“Clearstream Participants”). Clearstream facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of Clearstream Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Clearstream provides to Clearstream Participants, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. As a professional depositary, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Commission for the Supervision of the Financial Sector (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier). Clearstream Participants are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies, that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream Participant, either directly or indirectly.
44



Distributions with respect to interests in the Global Note held beneficially through Clearstream will be credited to cash accounts of Clearstream Participants in accordance with its rules and procedures.
Global Clearance and Settlement Procedures
Realty Income understands that investors that hold their notes through Euroclear and Clearstream accounts will follow the settlement procedures that are applicable to conventional sterling-denominated bonds in registered form. Notes of the applicable series will be credited to the securities custody accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream Participants on the business day following the settlement date, for value on the settlement date. They will be credited either free of payment or against payment for value on the settlement date.
We understand that secondary market trading between Euroclear and/or Clearstream Participants will occur in the ordinary way following the applicable rules and operating procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream. Secondary market trading will be settled using procedures applicable to conventional sterling-denominated bonds in registered form.
You should be aware that investors will only be able to make and receive deliveries, payments and other communications involving notes through Euroclear and Clearstream on days when those systems are open for business. Those systems may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers and other institutions are open for business in the United States.
In addition, because of time-zone differences, there may be problems with completing transactions involving Euroclear and Clearstream on the same business day as in the United States. U.S. investors who wish to transfer their interests in the notes, or to make or receive a payment or delivery of the notes, on a particular day, may find that the transactions will not be performed until the next business day in Luxembourg or Brussels, depending on whether Euroclear and Clearstream is used.
Euroclear and Clearstream will credit payments to the cash accounts of Euroclear or Clearstream Participants, as applicable, in accordance with the relevant system’s rules and procedures, to the extent received by its depositary. Euroclear and/or Clearstream, as the case may be, will take any other action permitted to be taken by a holder under the Indenture on behalf of a Euroclear Participant or Clearstream Participant only in accordance with its relevant rules and procedures.
Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of the notes among participants of Euroclear and Clearstream. However, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform those procedures, and they may discontinue those procedures at any time.
Certificated Notes
If (1) Euroclear or Clearstream notifies Realty Income that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a clearing agency for the Global Notes of any series or if Euroclear or Clearstream ceases to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act at any time when it is required to be so registered in order to act as a clearing system for the Global Notes of such series and a successor clearing agency is not appointed within 90 days after Realty Income receives such notice or learns of such ineligibility, (2) Realty Income determines that the notes of any series shall no longer be represented by the Global Note and executes and delivers to the Trustee an officers’ certificates to that effect or (3) an event of default (as defined; see “- Events of Default” above) with respect to the notes of any series has occurred and is continuing and beneficial owners representing a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of such series advise Euroclear and Clearstream to cease acting as clearing agencies for the Global Note of such series, Realty Income will issue notes of such series in definitive certificated form in exchange for interests in the outstanding Global Notes of such series.
45



Any notes of any series issued in definitive certificated form in exchange for interests in a Global Note of such series will be issued in denominations of £100,000 and integral multiples of £1,000 in excess thereof and will be registered in such name or names as Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, shall instruct the registrar for the notes of such series. It is expected that the instructions of Euroclear and Clearstream will be based upon directions received from their respective participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Notes of the applicable series.
Unclaimed Payments
We will be repaid for all amounts we pay to the Trustee or paying agent for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on the notes that remains unclaimed at the end of two years after the principal, premium or interest has become due and payable, and the holder of such notes may look only to us for payment of the principal, premium or interest.
Listing
The notes are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbols “O27A,” “O27B,” “O29B,” “O30,” “O30B,” “O31A,” “O33A,” “O34,” “O39,” “O41,” and “O42,” respectively. We have no obligation to maintain such listings, and we may delist any series of the notes at any time.

Exhibit A
DEFERRED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined in the Grant Notice, in the Plan or the Deferred Compensation Plan, as applicable.
ARTICLE I.
GENERAL

1.1Award of RSUs and Dividend Equivalents.
(a)The Company has granted the RSUs to Participant effective as of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share as set forth in this Agreement. Participant will have no right to the distribution of any Shares until the time (if ever) the RSUs have vested.
(b)The Company hereby grants to Participant, with respect to each RSU, a Dividend Equivalent for ordinary cash dividends paid to substantially all holders of outstanding Shares with a record date after the Grant Date and prior to the date the applicable RSU is settled, forfeited or otherwise expires. Each Dividend Equivalent entitles Participant to receive the equivalent value of any such ordinary cash dividends paid on a single Share. Dividend Equivalents shall not entitle Participant to any payments relating to dividends with a record date that occurs after the earlier of the payment or forfeiture of the RSU underlying such Dividend Equivalent. The Dividend Equivalents and any amounts that may become payable in respect thereof shall be treated separately from the RSUs and the rights arising in connection therewith for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Any amounts payable in respect of Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or deferred in accordance with the Deferred Compensation Plan, as applicable as and when the dividends in respect of which such Dividend Equivalent payments arise are paid to holders of Common Stock, without regard to the vested status of the underlying RSU.
1.2Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control.
ARTICLE II.
VESTING; FORFEITURE AND SETTLEMENT
1.1Vesting; Forfeiture.
(a)Subject to Section 2.1(c) below, the RSUs will vest according to the vesting schedule in the Grant Notice.
(b)In addition, the RSUs will become immediately vested: (i) immediately prior to a Change in Control or (ii) upon Participant’s Termination of Service due to Participant’s death or Disability.
(c)Subject to Section 2.1(b), in the event of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, all unvested RSUs will immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator or provided in a binding written agreement between Participant and the Company; provided that in the event of a termination of Termination of Service for any reason other than due to a termination by the Company for Cause, where Participant has provided the Company with at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of Participant’s intent to resign (or as otherwise acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion) and does not incur a Termination of Service earlier, a number of RSUs shall vest on the date of such Termination of Service equal to the number of RSUs that would have vested on the vesting date next following the date of the Termination of Service (had Participant not experienced a Termination of Service prior to such date), pro-rated based on the number of days elapsed from the vesting date immediately preceding the date of the Termination of Service through the date of the Termination of Service (as a portion of the number of days between such Vesting Date and the Vesting Date next following the date of the Termination of Service), rounded down to the nearest whole RSU.



1.2Settlement.
(a)Subject to, and in accordance with, the Deferred Compensation Plan, to the extent vested, the RSUs will be paid in Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Deferred Compensation Plan (either by delivering one or more certificates for such Shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion), provided that the exact payment date shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion (and Participant shall not have a right to designate the time of payment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may delay any payment under this Agreement that the Company reasonably determines would violate Applicable Law until the earliest date the Company reasonably determines the making of the payment will not cause such a violation (in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii)), provided the Company reasonably believes the delay will not result in the imposition of excise taxes under Section 409A.
ARTICLE III.
TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING

1.1Representation. Participant represents to the Company that Participant has reviewed with Participant’s own tax advisors the tax consequences of this Award and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.
1.2Tax Withholding. Participant acknowledges that Participant is liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the RSUs and the Dividend Equivalents. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any taxes in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the RSUs or the Dividend Equivalents or the subsequent sale of Shares. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the RSUs or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.
1.3Section 409A.
(a)General. To the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the effective date of this Agreement.
(b)Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation. Sections 11.6(b) and (c) of the Plan shall apply to the RSUs and this Agreement. For purposes of Section 409A, each RSU (and the right to payment with respect to each RSU) is to be treated as a right to a separate payment.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER PROVISIONS
1.1Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the RSUs, the Shares subject to the RSUs and the Dividend Equivalents are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.
1.2Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company must be in writing and addressed to the Company in care of the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal office or the Secretary’s then-current email address or facsimile number. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to Participant must be in writing and addressed to Participant at Participant’s last known mailing address, email address or facsimile number in the Company’s personnel files. By a notice given pursuant to this Section, either party may designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice will be deemed duly given when actually received, when sent by email, when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited with postage prepaid in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service, when delivered by a nationally recognized express shipping company or upon receipt of a facsimile transmission confirmation.
A-2


1.3Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
1.4Conformity to Securities Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all Applicable Laws and, to the extent Applicable Laws permit, will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to Applicable Laws.
1.5Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company, including without limitation any acquirer of the Company in a Change in Control.

Exhibit A
DEFERRED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT FOR EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENTS
Capitalized terms not specifically defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or, if not defined in the Grant Notice, in the Plan or the Deferred Compensation Plan, as applicable.
ARTICLE I.
GENERAL
1.1Award of RSUs and Dividend Equivalents.
(a)The Company has granted the RSUs to Participant effective as of the grant date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share as set forth in this Agreement. Participant will have no right to the distribution of any Shares until the time (if ever) the RSUs have vested.
(b)The Company hereby grants to Participant, with respect to each RSU, a Dividend Equivalent for ordinary cash dividends paid to substantially all holders of outstanding Shares with a record date after the Grant Date and prior to the date the applicable RSU is settled, forfeited or otherwise expires. Each Dividend Equivalent entitles Participant to receive the equivalent value of any such ordinary cash dividends paid on a single Share. Dividend Equivalents shall not entitle Participant to any payments relating to dividends with a record date that occurs after the earlier of the payment or forfeiture of the RSU underlying such Dividend Equivalent. The Dividend Equivalents and any amounts that may become payable in respect thereof shall be treated separately from the RSUs and the rights arising in connection therewith for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Any amounts payable in respect of Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or deferred in accordance with the Deferred Compensation Plan, as applicable as and when the dividends in respect of which such Dividend Equivalent payments arise are paid to holders of Common Stock, without regard to the vested status of the underlying RSU.
1.2Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan will control.
ARTICLE II.
VESTING; FORFEITURE AND SETTLEMENT
1.1Vesting; Forfeiture.
(a)Subject to Section 2.1(d) below, the RSUs will vest according to the vesting schedule in the Grant Notice.
(b)In addition, the RSUs will become immediately vested: (i) upon Participant’s Termination of Service by the Company without Cause or due to a Constructive Termination, in each case, within eighteen (18) months following a Change in Control or (ii) upon Participant’s Termination of Service due to Participant’s death or Disability.
(c)Upon a Participant’s Qualifying Retirement, as such term is defined in the Realty Income Retirement Policy, as amended from time to time (the “Retirement Policy”), the RSUs and the vesting thereof shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Retirement Policy.



(d)Subject to Sections 2.1(b) and 2.1(c), in the event of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, all unvested RSUs will immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator or provided in a binding written agreement between Participant and the Company; provided that in the event of a Termination of Service for any reason other than due to a termination by the Company for Cause, where Participant has provided the Company with at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of Participant’s intent to resign (or as otherwise acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion) and does not incur a Termination of Service earlier, a number of RSUs shall vest on the date of such Termination of Service equal to the number of RSUs that would have vested on the vesting date next following the date of the Termination of Service (had Participant not experienced a Termination of Service prior to such date), pro-rated based on the number of days elapsed from the vesting date immediately preceding the date of the Termination of Service through the date of the Termination of Service (as a portion of the number of days between such Vesting Date and the Vesting Date next following the date of the Termination of Service), rounded down to the nearest whole RSU.
(e)For purposes of this Agreement the following terms will have the following meanings:
(i)“Constructive Termination” means Participant’s resignation of employment within sixty (60) days of one or more of the following events which remains uncured thirty (30) days after Participant’s delivery of written notice thereof, and which resignation is effective not more than thirty (30) days following the expiration of such cure period: (1) the delegation to Participant of duties or the reduction of Participant’s duties, either of which substantially reduces the nature, responsibility, or character of Participant’s position immediately prior to such delegation or reduction; (2) a material reduction by the Company in Participant’s base salary in effect immediately prior to such reduction; or (3) the Company’s relocation of Participant’s principal office location to a place more than forty (40) miles from the Company’s present headquarters location (except that reasonably required travel on the Company’s business shall not be considered a relocation).
1.2Settlement.
(a)Subject to, and in accordance with, the Deferred Compensation Plan, to the extent vested, the RSUs will be paid in Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Deferred Compensation Plan (either by delivering one or more certificates for such Shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion), provided that the exact payment date shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion (and Participant shall not have a right to designate the time of payment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may delay any payment under this Agreement that the Company reasonably determines would violate Applicable Law until the earliest date the Company reasonably determines the making of the payment will not cause such a violation (in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(7)(ii)), provided the Company reasonably believes the delay will not result in the imposition of excise taxes under Section 409A.
ARTICLE III.
TAXATION AND TAX WITHHOLDING
1.1Representation. Participant represents to the Company that Participant has reviewed with Participant’s own tax advisors the tax consequences of this Award and the transactions contemplated by the Grant Notice and this Agreement. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.
1.2Tax Withholding.
(a)The Company has the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat Participant’s failure to provide timely payment in accordance with the Plan of any withholding tax arising in connection with the RSUs or Dividend Equivalents as Participant’s election to satisfy all or any portion of the withholding tax by requesting the Company retain Shares otherwise issuable under the Award. To the extent that any Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax withholding obligations arise in connection with the RSUs prior to the applicable settlement date, the Administrator shall accelerate the payment of a portion of the award of RSUs sufficient to satisfy (but not in excess of) such tax withholding obligations and any tax withholding obligations associated with any such accelerated payment, and the Administrator shall withhold such amounts in satisfaction of such withholding obligations.
A-2



(b)Participant acknowledges that Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the RSUs and the Dividend Equivalents, regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the RSUs or Dividend Equivalents. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the RSUs or the Dividend Equivalents or the subsequent sale of Shares. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the RSUs or Dividend Equivalents to reduce or eliminate Participant’s tax liability.
1.3Section 409A.
(a)General. To the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the effective date of this Agreement.
(b)Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation. Sections 11.6(b) and (c) of the Plan shall apply to the RSUs and this Agreement. For purposes of Section 409A, each RSU (and the right to payment with respect to each RSU) is to be treated as a right to a separate payment.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER PROVISIONS
1.1Adjustments. Participant acknowledges that the RSUs, the Shares subject to the RSUs and the Dividend Equivalents are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and the Plan.
1.2Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company must be in writing and addressed to the Company in care of the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal office or the Secretary’s then-current email address or facsimile number. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to Participant must be in writing and addressed to Participant at Participant’s last known mailing address, email address or facsimile number in the Company’s personnel files. By a notice given pursuant to this Section, either party may designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice will be deemed duly given when actually received, when sent by email, when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited with postage prepaid in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service, when delivered by a nationally recognized express shipping company or upon receipt of a facsimile transmission confirmation.

1.5Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company, including without limitation any acquirer of the Company in a Change in Control. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement or the Plan, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
1.6Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Grant Notice, this Agreement, the RSUs and the Dividend Equivalents will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, this Agreement will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
A-3



1.7Entire Agreement.

1.9Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided.

The RSUs and Dividend Equivalents will at all times prior to settlement represent an unsecured Company obligation payable only from the Company’s general assets
1.10Not a Contract of Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement confers upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or interferes with or restricts in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and Participant.

(c)In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service due to a Qualifying Retirement (as defined in the Realty Income Retirement Policy, as amended from time to time (the “Retirement Policy”)), the Restricted Shares and vesting thereof shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Retirement Policy.
(d)For purposes of this Agreement “Constructive Termination” means Participant’s resignation of employment within sixty (60) days of one or more of the following events which remains uncured thirty (30) days after Participant’s delivery of written notice thereof, and which resignation is effective not more than thirty (30) days following the expiration of such cure period: (1) the delegation to Participant of duties or the reduction of Participant’s duties, either of which substantially reduces the nature, responsibility, or character of Participant’s position immediately prior to such delegation or reduction; (2) a material reduction by the Company in Participant’s base salary in effect immediately prior to such reduction; or (3) the Company’s relocation of Participant’s principal office location to a place more than forty (40) miles from the Company’s present headquarters location (except that reasonably required travel on the Company’s business shall not be considered a relocation).



1.2Forfeiture. Subject to Sections 2.1(b) and 2.1(c) above, in the event of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, Participant will immediately and automatically forfeit to the Company any Shares that are not Vested Shares (the “Unvested Shares”) at the time of Participant’s Termination of Service, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator or provided in a binding written agreement between Participant and the Company; provided that in the event of a Termination of Service for any reason other than a due to a termination by the Company for Cause , where Participant has provided the Company with at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of Participant’s intent to resign (or as otherwise acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion) and does not incur a Termination of Service earlier, a number of Unvested Shares shall vest on the date of such Termination of Service equal to the number of Restricted Shares that would have vested on the vesting date next following the date of the Termination of Service (had Participant not experienced a Termination of Service prior to such date), pro-rated based on the number of days elapsed from the vesting date immediately preceding the date of the Termination of Service through the date of the Termination of Service (as a portion of the number of days between such Vesting Date and the Vesting Date next following the date of the Termination of Service), rounded down to the nearest whole Restricted Share. Upon forfeiture of Unvested Shares, the Company will become the legal and beneficial owner of the Unvested Shares and all related interests and Participant will have no further rights with respect to the Unvested Shares.
1.3Escrow.
(a)Unvested Shares will be held by the Company or its authorized representatives until (i) they are forfeited, (ii) they become Vested Shares or (iii) this Agreement is no longer in effect. By accepting this Award, Participant appoints the Company and its authorized representatives as Participant’s attorney(s)-in-fact to take all actions necessary to effect any transfer of forfeited Unvested Shares to the Company as may be required pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement and to execute such representations or other documents or assurances as the Company or such representatives deem necessary or advisable in connection with any such transfer. The Company, or its authorized representative, will not be liable for any good faith act or omission with respect to the holding in escrow or transfer of the Restricted Shares.
(b)As soon as reasonably practicable following the date on which an Unvested Share becomes a Vested Share, the Company will cause the certificate (or a new certificate without the legend required by this Agreement, if Participant so requests) representing the Share to be delivered to Participant or, if the Share is held in book-entry form, cause the notations indicating the Share is subject to the restrictions of this Agreement to be removed.
1.4Rights as Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, upon issuance of the Restricted Shares by the Company, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Shares, including the right to vote the Restricted Shares and to receive dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the Restricted Shares.

Participant agrees that Participant will not file an election under Section 83(b) of Code, with respect to the Restricted Shares without the consent of the Administrator.

A-2



1.3Tax Withholding.
(a)The Company has the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat Participant’s failure to provide timely payment in accordance with the Plan of any withholding tax arising in connection with the Restricted Shares as Participant’s election to satisfy all or any portion of the withholding tax by requesting the Company retain Shares otherwise deliverable under the Award.
(b)Participant acknowledges that Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the Restricted Shares, regardless of any action the Company or any Subsidiary takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the Restricted Shares. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the awarding, vesting or payment of the Restricted Shares or the subsequent sale of the Restricted Shares. Participant represents that he or she has reviewed with his or her own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.

Any attempted transfer or disposition of Unvested Shares prior to the time the Unvested Shares become Vested Shares will be null and void. The Company will not be required to (a) transfer on its books any Restricted Share that has been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of this Agreement or (b)  treat as owner of such Restricted Share or accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Restricted Share has been so transferred. The Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, or make appropriate notations to the same effect in its records.

Exhibit 19.1
REALTY INCOME CORPORATION
Insider Trading Compliance Policy

Federal, state and country laws and regulations prohibit trading in the securities of a company or a financial instrument (including related derivatives contracts) while in possession of material non-public information and providing material non-public information to others so that they can trade. Realty Income Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) requires its personnel to comply at all times with federal laws and regulations governing insider trading. Violating such laws and regulations can undermine investor trust, harm the reputation and integrity of the Company, and result in your dismissal from the Company or even serious criminal and civil charges against you and the Company. The Company reserves the right to take disciplinary or other measure(s) it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate in any particular situation, including disclosure of wrongdoing to governmental authorities.

This Insider Trading Compliance Policy (this “Policy”) outlines your responsibilities to avoid insider trading and implements certain procedures to help you avoid even the appearance of insider trading.

Although the Company's shares and/or securities are not listed or traded on a EU or UK regulated market, multilateral trading facility or organized trading facility, it is possible that the Company and employees may come into possession of inside information (including in relation to tenants of property owned by the Company (the Tenants)).

I.Summary

Preventing insider trading is necessary to comply with securities laws and to preserve the reputation and integrity of the Company. “Insider trading” occurs when any person purchases or sells a security or financial instrument while in possession of material non-public information relating to the security. Insider trading is a crime and penalties may include imprisonment and fines for individuals and for corporations. Insider trading may also result in civil penalties, including disgorgement of profits and civil fines. Insider trading is also prohibited by this Policy, and violation of this Policy may result in Company imposed sanctions, including removal or dismissal for cause.

This Policy applies to all officers, directors and employees, of the Company (“covered persons”), as well as family members of covered persons, including but not limited to spouses, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, step-parents, grandparents, siblings and in-laws, and anyone else who lives in the covered person’s household. As someone subject to this Policy, you are responsible for ensuring that members of your household also comply with this Policy. This Policy also applies to any entities you control, including any corporations, partnerships, or trusts, and transactions by such entities should be treated for the purposes of this Policy and applicable securities laws as if they were for your own account. The Company may determine that this Policy applies to additional persons with access to material non-public information, such as contractors or consultants. This Policy extends to all activities within and outside your Company duties. Every officer, director, and employee must review this Policy. Questions regarding this Policy should be directed to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel (the “General Counsel”) or her designee.




Responsibility for administering this Policy (including interpretations, waivers or exceptions) will rest with the General Counsel or her designee. The Chief Financial Officer will administer this Policy as it applies to any trading activity of the General Counsel.

In all cases, as someone subject to this Policy, you bear full responsibility for ensuring your compliance with this Policy. You also bear responsibility for ensuring that members of your household (and individuals not residing in your household but whose transactions are subject to your influence or control) and entities under your influence or control are in compliance with this Policy.

Actions taken by the Company or any other Company personnel do not constitute legal advice, nor do they insulate you from the consequences of noncompliance with this Policy.

II.Statement of Policies Prohibiting Insider Trading

No officer, director, or employee (or any other covered person) shall purchase or sell any type of security including derivatives instruments while in possession of material non-public information relating to the security or the issuer of such security, whether the issuer of such security is the Company or any other company including a tenant.

Additionally, no officer, director or employee listed on a schedule maintained by the policy administrator, referred to herein as Schedule I, (as amended from time to time) shall purchase or sell any security of the Company during the period beginning on the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company and ending upon completion of one full trading day after the public release of earnings data for such fiscal quarter or during any other trading suspension period declared by the Company.

These prohibitions do not apply to:

•purchases of the Company’s securities from the Company or sales of the Company’s securities to the Company;
•exercises of stock options or other equity awards or the surrender of shares to the Company in payment of the exercise price or in satisfaction of any tax withholding obligations in a manner permitted by the applicable equity award agreement, or vesting of equity-based awards that, in each case, do not involve a market sale of the Company’s securities (the “cashless exercise” of a Company stock option through a broker does involve a market sale of the Company’s securities, and therefore would not qualify under this exception);
•bona fide gifts of the Company’s securities; or
•purchases or sales of the Company’s securities made pursuant to any binding contract, specific instruction or written plan entered into while the purchaser or seller, as applicable, was unaware of any material non-public information and which contract, instruction, or plan (i) meets all requirements of the affirmative defense provided by Rule 10b5-1 (“Rule 10b5-1”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), (ii) was precleared in advance pursuant to this Policy and (iii) has not been amended or modified in any respect after such initial preclearance without such amendment or modification being precleared in advance pursuant to this Policy. For more information about Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, see Section VI below.

From time to time, events will occur that are material to the Company and cause certain officers, directors, or employees to be in possession of material non-public information. When that happens, the Company will recommend that those in possession of the material non-public information suspend all trading in the Company’s securities until the information is no longer material or has been publicly disclosed.




When such event-specific blackout periods occur, those subject to it will be notified by the Company. The event-specific blackout period will not be announced to those not subject to it, and those subject to it or otherwise aware of it should not disclose it to others.

Even if the Company has not notified you that you are subject to an event-specific blackout period, if you are aware of material non-public information about the Company, you should not trade in Company securities. Any failure by the Company to designate you as subject to an event-specific blackout period, or to notify you of such designation, does not relieve you of your obligation not to trade in the Company’s securities while possessing material non-public information.

No officer, director, or employee shall directly or indirectly communicate (or “tip”) material non-public information to anyone outside the Company (except in accordance with the Company’s policies regarding the protection or authorized external disclosure of Company information) or to anyone within the Company other than on a “need-to-know” basis and in the proper performance of your role in relation to the Company or any other issuer (including Tenants).

III.Explanation of Insider Trading

“Insider trading” refers to the purchase or sale of a security while in possession of material non-public information relating to the security.

“Securities” includes stocks, bonds, notes, debentures, options, warrants, and other convertible securities, as well as derivative instruments.

“Purchase” and “sale” are defined broadly under the federal securities law. “Purchase” includes not only the actual purchase of a security, but any contract to purchase or otherwise acquire a security. “Sale” includes not only the actual sale of a security, but any contract to sell or otherwise dispose of a security. These definitions extend to a broad range of transactions, including conventional cash-for-stock transactions, conversions, the exercise of stock options, and acquisitions and exercises of warrants or puts, calls, or other derivative securities instruments.

A.What Facts Are Material?

The materiality of a fact depends upon the circumstances. A fact is considered “material” if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making a decision to buy, sell, or hold a security, or if the fact is likely to have a significant effect on the market price of the security. Material information can be positive or negative and can relate to virtually any aspect of an issuer's business or to any type of security, debt, or equity. Also, information that something is likely to happen in the future—or even just that it may happen—could be deemed material.

Examples of material information may include (but are not limited to) information about dividends; corporate earnings or earnings forecasts; acquisition volume; possible mergers, acquisitions, tender offers, joint ventures, or dispositions; important business developments relating to the issuer's portfolio, clients, strategic collaborators, or the status of regulatory approvals; board, management, or control changes; significant borrowing or financing developments, including pending public sales or offerings of debt or equity securities; changes in credit ratings; defaults on borrowings; bankruptcies; cybersecurity or data security incidents; significant litigation or regulatory actions; changes in auditors or auditor notification that the issuer may no longer rely on an audit report; events regarding the Company’s or another issuer's securities (e.g., defaults on senior securities, calls of securities for redemption, repurchase plans, stock splits or changes in dividends, changes to the rights of securityholders, public or private sales of additional securities or information related to any additional funding); and regulatory approvals or changes in regulations and any analysis of how they affect the Company and/or an issuer.



Moreover, material information does not have to be related to a company’s business. For example, the contents of a forthcoming newspaper column that is expected to affect the market price of a security can be material.

Questions regarding material information should be directed to the Company’s General Counsel or her designee. A good rule of thumb: When in doubt, do not trade.

B.What Is Non-public?

Information is “non-public” if it is not available to the general public. In order for information to be considered public, it must be widely disseminated in a manner making it generally available to investors through newswire services such as Dow Jones, Reuters, Bloomberg, Business Wire, The Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, or United Press International; a broadcast on widely available radio or television programs; publication in a widely available newspaper, magazine, or news website; a Regulation FD-compliant conference call; or public disclosure documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that are available on the SEC’s website or another regulator.

The circulation of rumors, even if accurate and reported in the media, does not constitute effective public dissemination. In addition, even after a public announcement, a reasonable period of time must lapse in order for the market to react to the information. Generally, one should allow one full trading day following publication as a reasonable waiting period before such information is deemed to be public.

C.Who Is an Insider?

“Insiders” include officers, directors, and any employees of a company, or anyone else who has material non-public information about a company. Insiders have independent fiduciary duties to their company and its stockholders not to trade on material non-public information relating to the Company’s securities. Insiders may not trade in the Company’s securities while in possession of material non-public information relating to the Company, nor may they tip such information to anyone outside the Company or to anyone within the Company other than on a “need-to-know” basis. You must also not trade on the basis of non-public information relating to any other issuer including Tenants.

As someone subject to this Policy, you are responsible for ensuring that members of your household also comply with this Policy. This includes family members residing with you, anyone else living in your household, and any family members not living with you whose transactions in the Company’s or other issuer's securities (including Tenants) are directed by you, or subject to your influence and control. This Policy also applies to any entities you control, including any corporations, partnerships, or trusts, and transactions by these entities should be treated for the purposes of this Policy and applicable securities laws as if they were for your own account.







D.Trading by Persons Other Than Insiders

Insiders may be liable for communicating or tipping material non-public information to a third party (“tippee”), and insider trading violations are not limited to trading or tipping by insiders. Persons other than insiders can also be liable for insider trading, including tippees who trade on material non-public information tipped to them or individuals who trade on material non-public information that has been misappropriated. Insiders may be held liable for tipping even if they receive no personal benefit from tipping and even if no close personal relationship exists between them and the tippee.

Tippees inherit an insider’s duties and are liable for trading on material non-public information illegally tipped to them by an insider. Similarly, just as insiders are liable for the insider trading of their tippees, so are tippees who pass the information along to others who trade. In other words, a tippee’s liability for insider trading is no different from that of an insider. Tippees can obtain material non-public information by receiving overt tips from others or through, among other things, conversations at social, business, or other gatherings.

E.Penalties for Engaging in Insider Trading

Penalties for trading on or tipping material non-public information can extend significantly beyond any profits made or losses avoided, both for individuals engaging in such unlawful conduct and their employers. Regulators have prosecuted civilly and criminally insider trading violations. Enforcement remedies available to the government or private plaintiffs under the federal securities laws as well as country specific rules include:

•administrative sanctions;
•securities industry self-regulatory organization sanctions;
•civil injunctions;
•damage awards to private plaintiffs;
•disgorgement of all profits;
•civil fines for the violator;
•the employer or other controlling person of a violator ;
•criminal fines for individual violators ; and
•jail sentences for individual violators.

In addition, insider trading could result in serious sanctions by the Company, including dismissal. Insider trading violations are not limited to violations of the federal securities laws. Other federal and state civil or criminal laws, such as the laws prohibiting mail and wire fraud and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), may also be violated in connection with insider trading.

F.Size of Transaction and Reason for Transaction Do Not Matter

The size of the transaction or the amount of profit received does not have to be significant to result in prosecution. Regulators have the ability to monitor even the smallest trades and can perform routine market surveillance. Brokers or dealers are required by law to inform regulators of any possible violations by people who may have material non-public information.







G.Examples of Insider Trading

Examples of insider trading cases include actions brought against officers, directors, and employees who traded in a company’s securities after learning of significant confidential corporate developments (e.g., announcement of earnings); friends, business associates, family members, and other tippees of such officers, directors, and employees who traded in the securities after receiving such information; government employees who learned of such information in the course of their employment; and other persons who misappropriated, and took advantage of, confidential information from their employers.

IV.Statement of Procedures to Prevent Insider Trading

The following procedures have been established, and will be maintained and enforced, by the Company to prevent insider trading. Even if not subject to the requirements below, all covered persons are prohibited from trading in Company securities or tipping while in possession of material non-public information.

A.Quarterly Blackout Periods

The period during which the Company prepares quarterly financials is a sensitive time for insider trading purposes, as Company personnel may be more likely to possess, or be presumed to possess, material non-public information. To avoid the appearance of impropriety and assist Company personnel in planning transactions in the Company’s securities for appropriate times, no officer, director, or employee listed on a schedule maintained by the policy administrator, referred to herein as Schedule I, (as amended from time to time) shall purchase, sell, gift or otherwise transfer any security of the Company during the period beginning on the earlier of (i) the day the Company notifies you that it has closed its books following the end of the last day of any fiscal quarter or (ii) at such other time as specified by the Company and ending upon completion of one full trading day after the public release of earnings data for such fiscal quarter or during any other trading suspension period declared by the Company, except for:

•purchases of the Company’s securities from the Company or sales of the Company’s securities to the Company;
•exercises of stock options or other equity awards, the surrender of shares to the Company in payment of the exercise price or in satisfaction of any tax withholding obligations in a manner permitted by the applicable equity award agreement, or the vesting of equity-based awards that do not involve a market sale of the Company’s securities (the cashless exercise of a Company stock option through a broker does involve a market sale of the Company’s securities, and therefore would not qualify under this exception);
•bona fide gifts of the Company’s securities; and
•purchases or sales of the Company’s securities made pursuant to any binding contract, specific instruction, or written plan entered into while the purchaser or seller, as applicable, was unaware of any material non-public information and which contract, instruction, or plan (i) meets all requirements of the affirmative defense provided by Rule 10b5-1, (ii) was precleared in advance pursuant to this Policy, and (iii) has not been amended or modified in any respect after such initial preclearance without such amendment or modification being precleared in advance pursuant to this Policy.

Exceptions to the blackout period policy may be approved only by the General Counsel or her designee. From time to time, the General Counsel or her designee may determine that an additional blackout period is appropriate.



Persons subject to an additional blackout period must not purchase, sell, gift or otherwise transfer any security of the Company, except as otherwise permitted by this Policy, and must not disclose that an additional blackout period is in effect.

From time to time, the Company may recommend that officers, directors, employees, or others suspend trading in the Company’s securities because of developments that have not yet been disclosed to the public. Subject to the exceptions noted above, all those affected should not trade in the Company’s securities while the suspension is in effect and should not disclose to others that the Company has suspended trading.

B.Preclearance of All Trades by All Officers, Directors and Employees Listed on Schedule I

To provide assistance in preventing inadvertent violations of applicable securities laws and to avoid the appearance of impropriety in connection with the purchase and sale of the Company’s securities, all transactions in the Company’s securities (including, without limitation, acquisitions and dispositions of Company stock, the exercise of stock options, elective transactions under 401(k)/deferred compensation plans, participation in the DRIP, and the sale of Company stock issued upon exercise of stock options) by officers, directors, and employees listed on the schedule maintained by the policy administrator, referred to herein as Schedule I (as amended from time to time) (each, a “Preclearance Person”) must be precleared by the Company’s General Counsel or her designee, except for certain exempt transactions as explained in Section VI of this Policy. Preclearance does not relieve you of your responsibility under SEC rules.

A request for preclearance must be submitted through such platform or method as designated by the Company from time to time using the Trading Approval Form, should be made at least two business days in advance of the proposed transaction, and should include the identity of the Preclearance Person, the type of proposed transaction, the proposed date of the transaction, the number of shares or other securities to be involved among such other information as requested on the form. The Trading Approval Form includes a certification that the Preclearance Person is not aware of material non-public information about the Company. The General Counsel or her designee shall have sole discretion to decide whether to clear any contemplated transaction. All trades that are precleared must be effected within three business days of receipt of the preclearance, unless a specific exception has been granted by the General Counsel or her designee. A precleared trade (or any portion of a precleared trade) that has not been effected during this period must be precleared again prior to execution. Notwithstanding receipt of preclearance, if the Preclearance Person becomes aware of material non-public information or becomes subject to a blackout period before the transaction is effected, the transaction may not be completed.

None of the Company, the General Counsel or her designees, or the Company’s other employees will have any liability for any delay in reviewing, or refusal of, a request for preclearance submitted pursuant to this Section IV.B. Notwithstanding any preclearance of a transaction pursuant to this Section IV.B, none of the Company, the General Counsel or her designees, or the Company’s other employees assumes any liability for the legality or consequences of such transaction to the person engaging in such transaction.








C.Post-Termination Transactions

If you are in possession of material non-public information when your service terminates, federal securities laws continue to prohibit trading in the Company’s or other companies securities until that information has become public or is no longer material.

D.Information Relating to the Company

1.Access to Information

Access to material non-public information about the Company, including the Company’s business, earnings, or prospects, should be limited to officers, directors, and employees of the Company on a “need-to-know” basis. In addition, such information should not be communicated to anyone outside the Company under any circumstances (except in accordance with the Company’s policies regarding the protection or authorized external disclosure of Company information) or to anyone within the Company on an other than “need-to-know” basis.

In communicating material non-public information to employees of the Company, all officers, directors, and employees must take care to emphasize the need for confidential treatment of such information and adherence to the Company’s policies with regard to confidential information.

2.Inquiries From Third Parties

Inquiries from third parties, such as industry analysts or members of the media, about the Company should be directed to the Senior Vice President, Corporate Finance at (858) 284-5425 or ir@realtyincome.com. For more information on how to appropriately handle inquiries from third parties, refer to the Company’s Regulation FD Policy.

E.Limitations on Access to Company Information

The following procedures are designed to maintain confidentiality with respect to the Company’s business operations and activities.

All officers, directors, and employees should take all steps and precautions necessary to restrict access to, and secure, material non-public information by, among other things:

•maintaining the confidentiality of Company-related transactions;
•conducting their business and social activities so as not to risk inadvertent disclosure of confidential information. Review of confidential documents in public places should be avoided. If it cannot be avoided, review should be conducted so as to prevent access by unauthorized persons;
•restricting access to documents and files (including computer files) containing material non-public information to individuals on a “need-to-know” basis (including maintaining control over the distribution of documents and drafts of documents);
•promptly removing and cleaning up all confidential documents and other materials from conference rooms following the conclusion of any meetings;
•disposing of all confidential documents and other papers once there is no longer any business or other legally required need — through shredders when appropriate;



•restricting access to areas likely to contain confidential documents or material non-public information;
•safeguarding laptop computers, tablets, memory sticks, CDs, and other items that contain confidential information; and
•avoiding the discussion of material non-public information in places where the information could be overheard by others, such as in elevators, restrooms, hallways, restaurants, airplanes, or taxicabs.

Personnel involved with material non-public information, to the extent feasible, should conduct their business and activities in areas separate from other Company activities.

V.Additional Prohibited Transactions

The Company has determined that there is a heightened legal risk and/or the appearance of improper or inappropriate conduct if the persons subject to this Policy engage in certain types of transactions. Therefore, covered persons, as applicable, shall comply with the following policies with respect to certain transactions in the Company securities:

A.Short Sales

Short sales are sales of shares that the insider does not own at the time of sale, or sales of shares against which the insider does not deliver the shares within 20 days after the sale. Short sales of the Company’s securities evidence an expectation on the part of the seller that the securities will decline in value, and therefore signal to the market that the seller has no confidence in the Company or its short-term prospects. In addition, short sales may reduce the seller’s incentive to improve the Company’s performance. For these reasons, short sales of the Company’s securities by covered persons are prohibited by this Policy. In addition, Section 16(c) of the 1934 Act absolutely prohibits Section 16 reporting persons from making short sales of the Company’s equity securities.

B.Publicly Traded Options and Derivatives

A transaction in options is, in effect, a bet on the short-term movement of the Company’s stock and therefore creates the appearance that a covered person is trading based on material non-public information. Transactions in options may also focus an officer’s, director’s, or employee’s attention on short-term performance at the expense of the Company’s long-term objectives. Accordingly, transactions in puts, calls, or other derivative securities involving the Company’s equity securities, on an exchange or in any other organized market, by covered persons are prohibited by this Policy.

C.Hedging Transactions

Certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts, allow an officer, director, or employee to lock in much of the value of his or her stock holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside appreciation in the stock. Such transactions allow covered persons to continue to own the covered securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the covered person may no longer have the same objectives as the Company’s other stockholders. Therefore, such transactions involving the Company’s equity securities by covered persons are prohibited by this Policy.




D.Margin Accounts and Pledging

Covered persons are prohibited from pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan, purchasing Company securities on margin (i.e., borrowing money to purchase the securities) or placing Company securities in a margin account. This prohibition does not apply to cashless exercises of stock options under the Company’s equity plans or to situations approved in advance by the General Counsel or her designee.

E.Trading of Securities of Other Companies

Covered persons are prohibited from purchasing, selling, gifting or otherwise transferring any security of any other company (including, for example, the Company’s tenants), while in possession of material non-public information about the other company obtained in connection with such covered person’s employment by or service to the Company.

Pre-clearance Persons are prohibited and may not trade in securities (stock and notes or any other security form that may be issued) of any company listed on a schedule maintained by the policy administrator, referred to herein as Schedule II (each a “Peer Group Company” or collectively, the “Peer Group Companies”) unless approved in advance by the General Counsel or her designee. The Company reserves the right to change the Peer Group Companies listed on the schedule maintained by the policy administrator, referred to herein as Schedule II from time to time.

F.Director and Executive Officer Cashless Exercises

The Company will not arrange with brokers to administer cashless exercises on behalf of directors and executive officers of the Company. Directors and executive officers of the Company may use the cashless exercise feature of their equity awards only if (i) the director or officer retains a broker independently of the Company, (ii) the Company’s involvement is limited to confirming that it will deliver the stock promptly upon payment of the exercise price, and (iii) the director or officer uses a cashless exercise arrangement, in which the Company agrees to deliver stock against the payment of the purchase price on the same day the sale of the stock underlying the equity award settles. Under a cashless exercise, a broker, the issuer, and the issuer’s transfer agent work together to make all transactions settle simultaneously. This approach is to avoid any inference that the Company has “extended credit” in the form of a personal loan to the director or executive officer. Questions about cashless exercises should be directed to the General Counsel or her designee.

VI.Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans

The restrictions set forth in this Policy, except for provisions set forth in Section V “Additional Prohibited Transactions” above, do not apply to transactions under a previously established contract, plan, or instruction to trade in the Company’s stock in accordance with the terms of Rule 10b5-1, Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K, and all applicable state laws (a “Trading Plan”) that:

•has been submitted to and preapproved by the Company’s General Counsel or her designee (the “Authorizing Officer”), at least 30 days before the commencement of any transactions under the Trading Plan;
•you entered into in good faith at a time when you were not in possession of material non-public information about the Company; and



•either (i) specifies the amounts, prices, and dates of all security transactions under the Trading Plan, (ii) provides a written formula, algorithm, or computer program for determining the amount, price, and date of the transactions, or (iii) prohibits you from exercising any subsequent influence over the transactions.

The Trading Plan must include a cooling-off period before trading can commence that, for directors or officers, ends on the later of 90 days after the adoption of the plan or two business days following the disclosure of the Company’s financial results in an SEC periodic report for the fiscal quarter in which the plan was adopted, and for persons other than directors or officers, 30 days following the adoption or modification of a Trading Plan. You may not enter into overlapping Trading Plans (subject to certain exceptions) and may only enter into one single-trade Trading Plan during any 12-month period (subject to certain exceptions). Directors and officers must include a representation in their plan certifying that: (i) they are not aware of any material non-public information; and (ii) they are adopting the plan in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions in Rule 10b-5. You may only amend or revoke a Trading Plan outside of quarterly trading blackout periods when you do not possess material non-public information. Any amendment or revocation of a Trading Plan must be preapproved by the Authorizing Officer at least 30 days before you trade under an amended or outside of a revoked Trading Plan, and at least 180 days before you establish a new Trading Plan.

The Company reserves the right to publicly disclose, or respond to inquiries from the media regarding, the implementation of Trading Plans or the execution of transactions made under a Trading Plan. The Company also reserves the right from time to time to suspend, discontinue, or otherwise prohibit transactions under a Trading Plan if the Authorizing Officer or the Board of Directors, in its discretion, determines that such suspension, discontinuation, or other prohibition is in the best interests of the Company.

The cashless exercise of options under Trading Plans is permitted only through “same-day sales,” in which the option holder does not pay for the stock up front, but rather receives cash equal to the difference between the stock value and option exercise price. Transactions prohibited under Section V of this Policy, including short sales and hedging transactions, may not be carried out through a Trading Plan.

Compliance of a Trading Plan with the terms of Rule 10b5-1 and the execution of transactions pursuant to the Trading Plan are the sole responsibility of the person initiating the Trading Plan, and none of the Company, the Authorizing Officer, or the Company’s other employees assume any liability for any delay in reviewing and/or refusing a Trading Plan submitted for approval nor the legality or consequences relating to a person entering into or trading under a Trading Plan.

Trading Plans do not exempt you from complying with Section 16 short-swing profit rules or liability.

During an open trading window, trades differing from Trading Plan instructions that are already in place are allowed as long as the Trading Plan continues to be followed.

A.Section 16: Insider Reporting Requirements, Short-Swing Profits, and Short Sales (Applicable to Officers, Directors, and 10% Stockholders)

1.Reporting Obligations Under Section 16(a): SEC Forms 3, 4, and 5

Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act generally requires all officers, directors, and 10% stockholders (“Section 16 Insiders”), within 10 days after becoming a Section 16 Insider, to file with the SEC an “Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities” on SEC Form 3, listing the amount of the Company’s stock, options, and warrants that the Section 16 Insider beneficially owns.



Following the initial filing on SEC Form 3, changes in beneficial ownership of the Company’s stock, options, and warrants must be reported on SEC Form 4, including changes that result from giving or receiving gifts of the Company’s securities, generally within two days after the date on which such change occurs, or in certain cases on Form 5, within 45 days after fiscal year-end. The two-day Form 4 deadline begins to run from the trade date rather than the settlement date. A Form 4 must be filed even if, as a result of balancing transactions, there has been no net change in holdings. In certain situations, purchases or sales of Company stock made within six months prior to the filing of a Form 3 must be reported on Form 4. Similarly, certain purchases or sales of Company stock made within six months after an officer or director ceases to be a Section 16 Insider must be reported on Form 4.

2.Reporting Obligations Under Section 16(a): SEC Forms 3, 4, and 5

For the purpose of preventing the unfair use of information that may have been obtained by a Section 16 Insider, any profits realized by a Section 16 Insider from any “purchase” and “sale” of Company stock during a six-month period, so called “short-swing profits,” may be recovered by the Company. When such a purchase and sale occurs, good faith is no defense. The insider is liable, even if compelled to sell for personal reasons, and even if the sale takes place after full disclosure and without the use of any material non-public information.

The Section 16 Insider under Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act is only to the Company itself. The Company, however, cannot waive its right to short swing profits, and any Company stockholder can bring suit in the name of the Company. Reports of ownership filed with the SEC on Form 3, Form 4, or Form 5 pursuant to Section 16(a) (discussed above) are readily available to the public, and certain attorneys carefully monitor these reports for potential Section 16(b) violations. In addition, liabilities under Section 16(b) may require separate disclosure in the Company’s annual report to the SEC on Form 10-K or its proxy statement for its annual meeting of stockholders. No suit may be brought more than two years after the date the profit was realized. However, if the Section 16 Insider fails to file a report of the transaction under Section 16(a), as required, the two-year limitation period does not begin to run until after the transactions giving rise to the profit have been disclosed. Failure to report transactions and late filing of reports require separate disclosure in the Company’s proxy statement.

Officers and directors should consult the attached “Short-Swing Profit Rule Section 16(b) Checklist” attached hereto as “Attachment A” in addition to consulting the General Counsel or her designee prior to engaging in any transactions involving the Company’s securities, including, without limitation, the Company’s stock, options, or warrants.

3.Short Sales Prohibited Under Section 16(c)

Section 16(c) of the 1934 Act absolutely prohibits Section 16 Insiders from making short sales of the Company’s equity securities. Short sales include sales of stock that the Section 16 Insider does not own at the time of sale, or sales of stock against which the Section 16 Insider does not deliver the shares within 20 days after the sale. Under certain circumstances, the purchase or sale of put or call options, or the writing of such options, can result in a violation of Section 16(c). Section 16 Insiders violating Section 16(c) face criminal liability.

You should consult the General Counsel or her designee if you have any questions regarding reporting obligations, short-swing profits or short sales under Section 16.




B.Rule 144 (Applicable to Section 16 Insiders)

Rule 144 provides a safe harbor exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for certain resales of “restricted securities” and “control securities.” “Restricted securities” are securities acquired from an issuer, or an affiliate of an issuer, in a transaction, or chain of transactions, not involving a public offering. “Control securities” are any securities owned by directors, executive officers, or other “affiliates” of the issuer, including stock purchased in the open market and stock received upon exercise of stock options. Sales of Company securities by affiliates (generally, Section 16 Insiders of the Company) must comply with the requirements of Rule 144, which are summarized below:

•Current Public Information. The Company must have filed all SEC-required reports during the last 12 months.
•Volume Limitations. Total sales of Company common stock by a covered individual for any three-month period may not exceed the greater of: (i) 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of Company common stock, as reflected in the most recent report or statement published by the Company, or (ii) the average weekly reported volume of such shares traded during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of the requisite Form 144.
•Method of Sale. The shares must be sold either in a “broker’s transaction” or in a transaction directly with a “market maker.” A “broker’s transaction” is one in which the broker does no more than execute the sale order and receive the usual and customary commission. Neither the broker nor the selling person can solicit or arrange for the sale order. In addition, the selling person or member of the Board of Directors must not pay any fee or commission other than to the broker. A “market maker” includes a specialist permitted to act as a dealer, a dealer acting in the position of a block positioner, and a dealer who holds himself out as being willing to buy and sell Company common stock for his own account on a regular and continuous basis.
•Notice of Proposed Sale. A notice of the sale (a Form 144) must be filed with the SEC at the time of the sale. Brokers generally have internal procedures for executing sales under Rule 144, and will assist you in completing the Form 144 and in complying with the other requirements of Rule 144.

If you are subject to Rule 144, you must instruct your broker who handles trades in Company securities to follow the brokerage firm’s Rule 144 compliance procedures in connection with all trades.

VII.Execution and Return of Certification of Compliance

After reading this Policy, all covered persons are required to annually certify to his/her compliance with this Policy in the form of which is attached hereto as “Attachment B.”



Attachment A
Short-Swing Profit Rule Section 16(b) Checklist

Note: ANY combination of PURCHASE AND SALE or SALE AND PURCHASE within six months of each other by an officer, director, or 10% stockholder (or any family member living in the same household or certain affiliated entities) results in a violation of Section 16(b), and the “profit” must be recovered by Realty Income Corporation (the “Company”). It makes no difference how long the shares being sold have been held or, for officers and directors, that you were an insider for only one of the two matching transactions. The highest priced sale will be matched with the lowest priced purchase within the six-month period.

Sales

If a sale is to be made by an officer, director, or 10% stockholder (or any family member living in the same household or certain affiliated entities):

1.Have there been any purchases by the insider (or family members living in the same household or certain affiliated entities) within the past six months?
2.Have there been any option grants or exercises not exempt under Rule 16b-3 within the past six months?
3.Are any purchases (or nonexempt option exercises) anticipated or required within the next six months?
4.Has a Form 4 been prepared?

Note: If a sale is to be made by an affiliate of the Company, has a Form 144 been prepared and has the broker been reminded to sell pursuant to Rule 144?

Purchases And Option Exercises

If a purchase or option exercise for Company stock is to be made:
1.Have there been any sales by the insider (or family members living in the same household or certain affiliated entities) within the past six months?
2.Are any sales anticipated or required within the next six months (such as tax-related or year-end transactions)?
3.Has a Form 4 been prepared?

Before proceeding with a purchase or sale, consider whether you are aware of material non-public information that could affect the price of the Company stock. All transactions in the Company’s securities by officers and directors must be precleared by contacting the Company’s General Counsel or her designee.



Attachment B
Form of Certification of Compliance
I have received, reviewed, and understand the Realty Income Corporation Insider Trading Compliance Policy (the “Policy”) and undertake, as a condition to my present and continued employment or affiliation with Realty Income Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) to comply fully with the policies and procedures contained therein. I further hereby certify, to the best of my knowledge, that I have complied with the Policy. Lastly, I also understand and agree that I will be subject to sanctions (up to and including termination of employment or affiliation) that may be imposed by the Company, in its sole discretion, for violation of the Company’s policies.
