Item 8.01 Other Events

On March 30, 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 “revolving credit facilities” and similar references mean, collectively, our $4.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facilities (excluding an additional $1.0 billion expansion option, which is subject to obtaining lender commitments and other customary conditions), references to our “$5.38 billion credit facilities”, our “credit facilities” and similar references mean, collectively, our revolving credit facilities and our 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,” “Sterling” and “£” are to the lawful currency of the United Kingdom; and (d) 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 facility 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.

Liquidity

As of March 26, 2026, we had $4.5 billion of liquidity, which consists of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.8 billion, unsettled ATM forward equity of $1.2 billion, and $2.5 billion of availability under our $5.38 billion credit facilities, net of $1.5 billion of borrowings on our credit facilities, including £293.5 million denominated in Sterling and €850.0 million denominated in Euro, and after deducting $1.4 billion of outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper programs, including €260.0 million denominated in Euro and £15.0 million denominated in Sterling.

Apollo Strategic Partnership

We expect to close a strategic partnership with Apollo on March 31, 2026, pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, Apollo-managed funds are anticipated to provide a $1.0 billion investment to Realty Income in exchange for a 49% interest in a joint venture entity that is expected to own a diversified portfolio of approximately 500 single-tenant retail properties currently owned by Realty Income that are subject to long-term net leases.

Term Loan and Swap Arrangement

On March 23, 2026, we announced the closing of a $694 million U.S. dollar-denominated, unsecured term loan due January 2036 with an affiliate of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. In conjunction with the closing, we executed a cross-currency swap for a portion of the proceeds, swapping $500 million of proceeds for approximately €431 million (in addition to the related interest payments) over the term of the loan.
