Item 8.01 Other Events
On June 29, 2026, Realty Income Corporation (the “Company,” “Realty Income,” “our,” “us” or “we,” which terms include, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, its consolidated subsidiaries) provided certain updates with respect to its capital raising, liquidity matters and certain financing matters, as set forth below.
Unless as otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, for purposes of the following disclosures, (a) references to our “$4.0 billion revolving credit facility,” our “revolving credit facilities,” and similar references mean our $4.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (excluding an additional $1.0 billion expansion option, which is subject to obtaining lender commitments and other customary conditions), references to our “$1.38 billion fund credit facility, our “fund credit facility” and similar references mean Realty Income U.S. Core Plus Aggregator II, LP’s $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and $380.0 million unsecured delayed draw term loan facility (excluding a $620.0 million expansion option, which is subject to obtaining lender commitments and other customary conditions), and references to our “commercial paper programs” and similar references mean, collectively, our U.S. Dollar-denominated and Euro-denominated unsecured commercial paper programs; (b) references to our “clients” mean our tenants; (c) references to “GBP” is to the lawful currency of the United Kingdom and references to “Euro” and “€” are to the lawful currency of the European Union. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facilities as of any specified date, borrowings denominated in GBP and Euros are translated into U.S. dollars using the applicable currency exchange rates as in effect from time to time and (d) references to “Pro-Rata Share” mean our proportionate economic ownership of our joint ventures, which is derived by applying our economic ownership percentage of each such joint venture to calculate our proportionate share of the relevant line item information being presented, and aggregating that information for all such joint ventures.
Notes Issuance
On April 7, 2026, we issued $800.0 million of our 4.750% senior unsecured notes due April 2033 (the “2033 notes”). The public offering price for the 2033 notes was 98.261% of the principal amount for an effective semi-annual yield to maturity of 5.047%. In connection with the offering, we executed a $500 million U.S. Dollar-to-Euro 7-year cross currency swap, resulting in approximately €436 million of proceeds and a blended coupon rate of 4.16%.
ATM Program Refresh
On May 7, 2026, we replaced our prior at-the-market (“ATM”) program with a new ATM program, pursuant to which we may offer and sell up to 150.0 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 the relevant 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.
Liquidity
As of June 25, 2026, we had approximately $4.0 billion total available liquidity at our Pro-Rata Share, comprised of the components summarized below (dollars in millions):
| Cash and cash equivalents(1) | $ | 242.4 | ||
| Availability under credit facilities(2) | 3,472.1 | |||
| Unsettled ATM forwards | 2,056.8 | |||
| Less: commercial paper borrowings | (1,759.8 | ) | ||
| Total available liquidity at our Pro-Rata Share | $ | 4,011.5 |
| (1) | Reflects adjustments for our share based on our proportionate economic ownership of our joint ventures. Calculated as cash and cash equivalents per the consolidated balance sheet of $256.8 million, plus our Pro-Rata Share of unconsolidated entities cash of $9.9 million, less adjustments allocable to noncontrolling interests of $24.3 million. |
| (2) | Represents our availability under the $4.0 billion revolving credit facility and our Pro-Rata Share of availability under the $1.38 billion fund credit facility. |
