Exhibit 1.1

 

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SALES AGREEMENT

 

This AMENDMENT NO. 1 (this “Amendment”) dated as of August 5, 2020 to the Original Agreement (as defined below) is by and among (1) Realty Income Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), (2) the Agents and Forward Purchasers (as such terms are defined in the Original Agreement referred to below) named on the signature pages hereof and (3) Truist Securities, Inc. (“TSI”).

 

WHEREAS, the parties to this Amendment (other than TSI) are parties to the Sales Agreement dated December 6, 2019 (the “Original Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, BB&T Capital Markets, a division of BB&T Securities, LLC (“BBTS”) (which is named as an Agent but not a forward purchaser in the Original Agreement) and TSI are direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Truist Financial Corporation (“Truist” and, together with its subsidiaries and affiliated entities, the “Truist Organization”);

 

WHEREAS, as part of certain internal reorganization efforts within the Truist Organization, effective as of August 1, 2020 (the “Effective Date”) (a) BBTS contributed and assigned certain of its assets, including its rights under the Original Agreement (collectively, the “Contributed Assets”), to BB&T Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and (b) SunTrust Robinson Humphrey (“STRH”) subsequently assumed and succeeded to the Contributed Assets upon the merger of Merger Sub with and into STRH, with STRH as the survivor of such merger (the “Combination”);

 

WHEREAS, for administrative ease and convenience, such assignment to Merger Sub and assumption by STRH was separately documented and executed as an assignment of the Original Agreement directly from BBTS to TSI;

 

WHEREAS, immediately following the Combination, STRH changed its name to Truist Securities, Inc. effective as of the Effective Date;

 

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Original Agreement to reflect the fact that TSI has succeeded to all rights, and assumed all obligations, of BBTS under the Original Agreement, and has become an Agent (but not a forward seller), all effective as of the Effective Date;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of covenants and agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby conclusively acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Section 1. Certain Definitions. As used in this Amendment, the term “Agreement” shall mean the Original Agreement, as amended by this Amendment; and all other capitalized terms used in this Amendment but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Agreement.

 

Section 2. Assignment and Assumption. Effective as of the Effective Date, (i) BBTS irrevocably assigns, grants, transfers, contributes and conveys to TSI all of BBTS’ right, title and interest in, to and under the Original Agreement, (ii) TSI accepts such assignment, grant, transfer, contribution and conveyance of all such right, title and interest, and (iii) TSI assumes, and agrees to pay when due and perform when required, all liabilities and obligations of BBTS under or in connection with the Original Agreement, including, without limitation, all liabilities and obligations arising on or before the date of this Amendment and all liabilities and obligations arising before, on or after the date of this Amendment in connection with events, actions, omissions or other circumstances that occurred or existed on or prior to the date of this Amendment. Without limitation to the foregoing, TSI agrees to be bound by and to comply with the covenants, agreements and other terms and provisions of the Agreement applicable to an Agent thereunder.

 

 

 

Section 3. Amendments to Original Agreement. The Original Agreement shall be amended as follows, such amendments to the effective (except as otherwise provided in clause (iv) below) as of the Effective Date: (i) the name and address of BBTS appearing on page 1 of the Original Agreement shall be deleted and replaced with the following:

 

“Truist Securities, Inc.
3333 Peachtree Road NE

11th Floor

Atlanta, Georgia 30326”

 

(ii) the subparagraph containing BBTS’ name and address and facsimile number for notices appearing in the first paragraph of Section 10 of the Original Agreement shall be deleted and replaced with the following:

 

“Truist Securities, Inc.
3333 Peachtree Road NE

11th Floor

Atlanta, Georgia 30326

Attention: Reid Burford and Geoff Fennel

Facsimile: (404) 926-5995”;

 

(iii) all other references in the Original Agreement to “BB&T Capital Markets, a division of BB&T Securities, LLC” (other than the reference appearing in Section 18 of the Original Agreement) shall be deleted and replaced with a reference to “Truist Securities, Inc.”, and

 

(iv) all references in the Original Agreement to “MUFG Securities Americas Inc.” and “MUFG Securities EMEA plc” (which entities previously elected to terminate the Original Agreement as to themselves), including their respective names and addresses appearing on pages 1 and 2 of the Original Agreement, their respective names and addresses for notice appearing in Section 10 of the Original Agreement and their respective names and signatures appearing on the signature pages of the Original Agreement, shall be deleted, effective as of April 23, 2020.

 

Section 4. Confirmation of Transactions. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, by virtue of this Amendment and the other transactions described above, BBTS ceased to be an Agent under and a party to the Original Agreement, and TSI became an Agent (but not a forward seller) under and a party to the Original Agreement, all effective as of the Effective Date; and, to the extent required by the Original Agreement, the parties hereto consent to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the assignment and assumption set forth in Section 2 hereof).

Section 5. Provisions Applicable to Termination of an Agent as to Itself. BBTS’ ceasing to be an Agent under and party to the Original Agreement as of the Effective Date shall be deemed to be a termination of the Original Agreement by BBTS as to itself under Section 9(a) of the Original Agreement and, as a result, shall be subject to the survival of certain terms and provisions of the Original Agreement that, as provided in Section 9(d) of the Original Agreement or elsewhere therein, shall survive any such termination and remain in full force and effect.

 

Section 6. Prospectus Supplement. The Company agrees to file promptly with the Commission a supplement to the Prospectus to reflect the fact that BBTS has ceased to be an Agent under the Agreement and that TSI has become an Agent (but not a forward seller), under the Agreement (which prospectus supplement may also reflect the prior withdrawal of MUFG Securities Americas Inc. as an Agent and of MUFG Securities EMEA plc as a Forward Purchaser), agrees to provide such prospectus supplement to the other parties hereto and Sidley Austin LLP a reasonable amount of time prior to the proposed filing thereof, and agrees not to file or use such prospectus supplement if any of the other parties hereto or Sidley Austin LLP shall reasonably object thereto. The parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 3(c), (o), (p) or (q) of the Agreement, no written notice from the Company, officers’ certificates, legal opinions, negative assurance letters or accountants’ letters shall be required solely as a result of the filing or use of such prospectus supplement or the execution of this Amendment and no such event shall be deemed a Representation Date (as such term is defined in the Original Agreement), but, notwithstanding the foregoing, that such prospectus supplement shall be deemed to have been filed with the Commission in accordance with Section 3(c) of the Original Agreement and that the term “Prospectus Supplement,” as used in the Agreement, shall be deemed to include such prospectus supplement.

 

Section 7. Original Agreement. The Original Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and, except as amended hereby, shall remain in full force and effect.

 

Section 8. Parties. This Amendment shall each inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Agents, including any substitute Agents pursuant to Section 9 of the Original Agreement, the Forward Purchasers, the Company, BBTS and TSI and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Amendment is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the Agents, the Forward Purchasers, the Company, BBTS and TSI and their respective successors, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Amendment or any provision herein contained. This Amendment and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Agents, the Forward Purchasers, the Company, BBTS and TSI and their respective successors and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation.

 

Section 9. Trial by Jury. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 10. GOVERNING LAW AND TIME. THIS AMENDMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SAID STATE.

 

Section 11. Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement. The words “executed,” “execution,” signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Amendment or in any instruments, agreements, certificates, notices or other documents entered into or delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Amendment shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

 

Section 12. Manner of Notice. Each party hereto agrees that, anything in the Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any notice required to be given to such party pursuant to the Agreement in connection with the matters contemplated by this Amendment may be given to such party by email, such email to be sent to one or more of its employees who are involved in the Realty Income ATM program, and that such email shall be effective on the date it is sent.
