____________________________________
(1)The Company’s ownership interest reflects its legal ownership interest. Legal ownership may, at times, not equal the Company’s economic interest because of various provisions in the joint venture agreement regarding capital contributions, distributions of cash flow based on capital account balances and allocations of profits and losses. As a result, the Company’s actual economic interest (as distinct from its legal ownership interest) in certain of the properties could fluctuate from time to time and may not wholly align with its legal ownership interests.
(2)The interest in the Arch Street Joint Venture was acquired by Realty Income as part of the Mergers, and was transferred to the Company upon the consummation of the Distribution. Therefore, the Company’s equity in income reflects operations following the Merger Effective Time.
(3)During three months ended March 31, 2022, the Arch Street Joint Venture did not acquire any properties.
(4)The total carrying amount of the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated joint venture was greater than the underlying equity in net assets by $1.7 million as of March 31, 2022. This difference is related to a step up in the fair value of the investment in the unconsolidated joint venture in connection with the Mergers. The step up in fair value was allocated to the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated joint venture and is being amortized in accordance with the Company’s depreciation policy.
