The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared by applying the acquisition method of accounting with Realty Income treated as the acquiror. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Realty Income and historical consolidated financial statements of VEREIT as adjusted to give effect to the Mergers. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 gives effect to the Mergers as if they had occurred on March 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 give effect to the Mergers as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020.

These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are prepared for informational purposes only and are based on assumptions and estimates considered appropriate by Realty Income’s management. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent Realty Income’s management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. However, Realty Income’s management believes that the assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects that are directly attributable to the Mergers as contemplated, and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to be indicative of what Realty Income’s financial condition or results of operations actually would have been if the Mergers had been consummated as of the dates indicated, nor do they purport to represent Realty Income's financial position or results of operations for future periods.

 

Additionally, these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not include any adjustments not otherwise described herein, including such adjustments associated with: (1) Realty Income or VEREIT real estate acquisitions that have closed or may close after March 31, 2021 or the related financing of those acquisitions, (2) Realty Income or VEREIT consumer price index rental rate increases, (3) potential synergies that may be achieved following the Mergers, including potential overall savings in general and administrative expense, or any strategies that Realty Income’s management may consider in order to continue to efficiently manage Realty Income’s operations, (4) any integration costs that may be incurred following the consummation of the Mergers, and (5) any one-time integration and other costs (including acceleration of share-based compensation awards and cash severance payments) which may be necessary to achieve the potential synergies, since the extent of such costs is not reasonably certain. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not give effect to the contemplated contribution, after the Mergers, by Realty Income and VEREIT of certain of their office real properties (the “OfficeCo Properties”) to a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Realty Income (“OfficeCo”), and the contemplated distribution by Realty Income of all of the outstanding voting shares of common stock in OfficeCo to Realty Income’s common stockholders (which, at that time, would also include the VEREIT stockholders who, as a result of the Mergers, received shares of Realty Income common stock and who continued to hold those shares as of the close of business on the record date for such distribution) on a pro rata basis (the “Spin-Off”), or a sale of some or all of the OfficeCo Properties, because, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Realty Income and VEREIT have broad discretion to amend the scope and terms of the Spin-Off, including, among other things, the properties to be included as part of the OfficeCo Properties (including adding or removing properties), Realty Income and VEREIT may alternatively seek to sell some or all of the OfficeCo Properties, and Realty Income may elect not to pursue the Spin-Off at all. Please refer to Note 6 of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for information related to the OfficeCo Properties and the potential Spin-Off or sale of some or all of the OfficeCo Properties.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

 

The Realty Income and VEREIT historical financial information has been derived from, in the case of Realty Income, its consolidated financial statements in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and, in the case of VEREIT, its consolidated financial statements included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to Realty Income's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 4, 2021 (the "Form 8-K"), of which this Exhibit 99.3 is a part. Certain of VEREIT’s historical amounts have been reclassified to conform to Realty Income’s financial statement presentation, as discussed further in Note 3. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with Realty Income’s and VEREIT’s historical consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the Mergers as if they had been completed on March 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations give effect to the Mergers as if they had been completed on January 1, 2020.

 

The historical financial statements of Realty Income and VEREIT have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give pro forma effect to the accounting for the Mergers under U.S. GAAP (“Merger Adjustments”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with Realty Income as the acquiror of VEREIT. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, the estimated purchase consideration has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of VEREIT based upon Realty Income management’s preliminary estimate of their fair values as of March 31, 2021. The allocations of the purchase price reflected in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have not been finalized and are based upon the best available information at the current time. A final determination of the fair values of the assets and liabilities, which cannot be made prior to the completion of the Mergers and which is anticipated to occur during the fourth quarter of 2021, will be based on the actual valuations of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities that exist as of the date of completion of the Mergers. The completion of the final valuations, the allocations of the purchase price, the impact of ongoing integration activities, the timing of the completion of the Mergers and other changes in tangible and intangible assets and liabilities that occur prior to the completion of the Mergers could cause material differences in the information presented.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes herein present unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial condition and results of operations of Realty Income, after giving pro forma effect to the Mergers, which include the issuance of Realty Income common stock to VEREIT stockholders, the assumption of VEREIT’s outstanding debt, the redemption of all of the outstanding shares of VEREIT Series F Preferred Stock, and the conversion of each outstanding VEREIT OP common unit owned by a partner of VEREIT OP other than VEREIT that is issued and outstanding into newly issued shares of Realty Income common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio.

 

The Mergers and the related adjustments are described in these accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not give effect to the Spin-Off or any sales of all or a portion of the OfficeCo Properties. In the opinion of Realty Income’s management, all material adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly, in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X of the SEC, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to be indicative of the overall financial position or results of operations of the combined company that would have occurred if the Mergers had been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the overall financial position or results of operations that may be expected for any future period or date. In addition, future results may vary significantly from those reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements due to factors discussed in the “Supplemental Risk Factors” in Exhibit 99.4 to the Form 8-K.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are those set out in Realty Income’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Realty Income’s unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Realty Income’s management has determined that there were no significant accounting policy differences between Realty Income and VEREIT and, therefore, no adjustments are necessary to conform VEREIT’s financial statements to the accounting policies used by Realty Income in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. This conclusion is subject to change as further assessment is performed and finalized for purchase accounting.

 

As part of the application of ASC 805, Realty Income will conduct a more detailed review of VEREIT’s accounting policies in an effort to determine if differences in accounting policies require further reclassification or adjustment of VEREIT’s results of operations or reclassification or adjustment of assets or liabilities to conform to Realty Income’s accounting policies and classifications. Therefore, Realty Income may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. In certain cases, the information necessary to evaluate the differences in accounting policies and the impacts thereof may not be available until after the Mergers are completed.

 

Note 3 — Reclassification Adjustments

 

The VEREIT and Realty Income historical financial statement line items include the reclassification of certain historical balances to conform to the post-merger Realty Income presentation of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, as described below. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity or income from continuing operations of Realty Income or VEREIT.

Note 4 — Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

 

Estimated Preliminary Purchase Price

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to VEREIT’s identifiable net assets acquired. The preliminary allocation of purchase consideration in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is based upon an estimated preliminary purchase price of approximately $17.6 billion. The calculation of the estimated preliminary purchase price related to the Mergers is as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

 

Amount
Estimated shares of VEREIT common stock and VEREIT OP common units to be exchanged (a) 229,281,987
Exchange Ratio 0.705
Estimated shares of Realty Income common stock to be issued 161,643,801
Closing price of Realty Income common stock on June 1, 2021(b)  $ 69.35
Estimated fair value of Realty Income common stock to be issued to former holders of VEREIT common stock and VEREIT OP common units(b) $ 11,209,998
Redemption of VEREIT Series F Preferred Stock and VEREIT OP Series F Preferred OP Units(c) 374,066
Estimated fair value of VEREIT’s equity-based compensation awards attributable to pre-combination services(d) 33,630
Consideration to be transferred $ 11,617,694
Preliminary fair value of VEREIT mortgages payable and notes payable assumed by Realty Income 6,021,649
Total estimated preliminary purchase price $ 17,639,343

 

 

(a)Includes 229,129,954 shares of VEREIT common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2021 and 152,033 VEREIT OP common units outstanding as of March 31, 2021. Under the Merger Agreement, these shares and units are to be converted to Realty Income common stock at an Exchange Ratio of 0.705 per share of VEREIT common stock or VEREIT OP common unit, as applicable.
   
 (b)The estimated fair value of Realty Income common stock to be issued to former holders of VEREIT common stock and VEREIT OP common units is based upon the per share closing price of Realty Income’s common stock on June 1, 2021 which was $69.35, multiplied by the estimated shares of Realty Income common stock to be issued.

 

9

 

 

 (c)Immediately prior to and conditional upon the consummation of the Mergers, VEREIT will issue a notice of redemption with respect to all of the outstanding shares of the VEREIT Series F Preferred Stock, and Realty Income will cause funds to be deposited in escrow to pay the redemption price for each share of the VEREIT Series F Preferred Stock at the liquidation preference of $25.00 plus all accrued and unpaid dividends up to and including the redemption date. The estimated preliminary purchase price presented in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is based upon 14,921,012 shares of the VEREIT Series F Preferred Stock (including 49,766 shares of the VEREIT OP Series F Preferred Units included within Noncontrolling interests) outstanding as of March 31, 2021 and the accrued and unpaid dividends on such VEREIT Series F Preferred Stock of $1.0 million.
   
 (d)Represents the estimated fair value of fully vested VEREIT DSU Awards which will be converted into Realty Income common stock upon the Mergers, as well as the fair value of the Realty Income replacement employee and executive stock options, restricted stock units, and performance restricted stock units that will be granted at the closing date of the Mergers and which are attributable to pre-combination services.
   

The actual value of the Realty Income common stock to be issued in the Mergers will depend on the market price of shares of Realty Income common stock at the closing date of the Mergers, and therefore, the actual purchase price will fluctuate with the market price of Realty Income common stock until the Mergers are consummated. As a result, the final purchase price could differ significantly from the current estimate, which could materially impact the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. A 10% difference in Realty Income’s stock price would change the purchase price by approximately $1.1 billion, which would be recorded as an adjustment to the fair value of the net assets acquired, including goodwill as applicable.

 

The outstanding number of shares of VEREIT common stock, the outstanding number of VEREIT OP common units, and the outstanding shares of the VEREIT Series F Preferred Stock and the VEREIT OP Series F Preferred Units may change prior to the closing of the Mergers due to transactions in the ordinary course of business, including unknown changes in vesting of outstanding VEREIT equity-based awards and any grants of new VEREIT equity-based awards. These changes are not expected to have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

 

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

 

The preliminary purchase price allocation to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is provided throughout these notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The following table provides a summary of the preliminary purchase price allocation by major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on Realty Income management’s preliminary estimate of their respective fair values as of March 31, 2021 (in thousands):

 

  Amount 
Total estimated preliminary purchase price  $17,639,343 
Assets:    
Real estate held for investment  $14,017,258 
Real estate and lease intangibles held for sale   11,300 
Lease intangible assets   2,710,838 
Cash and cash equivalents   318,561 
Accounts receivable   52,000 
Other assets   347,181 
Total assets acquired  $17,457,138

  Amount 
Liabilities:      
Distributions payable   $105,948 
Accounts payable and accrued expenses (a)     163,280 
Lease intangible liabilities    499,701 
Other liabilities    264,968 
Mortgages payable    1,096,403 
Notes payable    4,925,246 
Total liabilities assumed   $7,055,546 
Estimated preliminary fair value of net assets acquired   $10,401,592 
Add: Estimated preliminary fair value of noncontrolling interests acquired    1,171 
Goodwill   $1,217,273 

 

 

  (a) This balance includes $46.8 million of estimated transaction costs to be incurred by VEREIT as a result of the Mergers. These costs are expected to be recognized as an expense in VEREIT's pre-combination statement of operations and therefore they are reflected as a liability assumed by Realty Income, with no impact on pro forma combined distributions in excess of net income.

 

The preliminary fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on a valuation as of the assumed consummation date of the Mergers that is prepared by Realty Income with assistance of a third-party valuation advisor. For the preliminary estimate of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of VEREIT, Realty Income used publicly available benchmarking information as well as a variety of other assumptions, including market participant assumptions. The allocation is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have not yet been finalized. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses and final valuations are completed, and such differences could be material. In particular, the fair values of the assets and liabilities were estimated, in part, based upon the allocation of real estate and intangible lease assets and liabilities, and adjusted to reflect reasonable estimations for above-market and below-market leases, in-place lease values, and avoided lease origination costs, and to incorporate estimates for the mark-to-market adjustments (i.e., premiums) of mortgages payable and notes payable to be assumed in the Mergers, all of which are based on Realty Income’s historical experience with similar assets and liabilities. In determining the estimated fair value of VEREIT’s tangible assets, Realty Income utilized customary methods, including the income, market, and cost approaches. Amounts allocated to land, buildings and improvements, and tenant improvements, and lease intangible assets and liabilities were based on an analysis performed by third parties based on Realty Income’s, VEREIT’s and other portfolios with similar property characteristics.

 

The purchase price allocation presented above has not been finalized. The final determination of the allocation of the purchase price will be based on the fair value of such assets and liabilities as of the actual consummation date of the Mergers and will be completed after the Mergers are consummated. These final fair values will be determined based on Realty Income’s management’s judgment, which is based on various factors, including (1) market conditions, (2) the industry in which the client operates, (3) the characteristics of the real estate (i.e., location, size, demographics, value and comparative rental rates), (4) the client credit profile, (5) store profitability metrics and the importance of the location of the real estate to the operations of the client’s business, and/or (6) real estate valuations. The final determination of these estimated fair values, the assets’ useful lives and the depreciation and amortization methods are dependent upon certain valuations and other analyses that have not yet been completed, and as previously stated could differ materially from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The final determination will be completed as soon as practicable but no later than one year after the consummation of the Mergers. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the net assets acquired, as compared to the information shown herein, could change the portion of the purchase consideration allocable to goodwill and could impact the operating results of the combined company following the Mergers due to differences in the allocation of the purchase consideration, as well as changes in the depreciation and amortization related to some of the acquired assets.

Total pro forma adjustment  $(371,781)   1,737,692   $6,581,472   $(634)

 

 

  (a) The pro forma adjustment reflects the redemption of the VEREIT Series F Preferred Stock at the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, as described in Note 4. The total pro forma adjustment to cash and cash equivalents represents the amounts to be paid by Realty Income to redeem the VEREIT Series F Preferred Stock of $371.8 million, the VEREIT OP Series F Preferred Units of $1.2 million, and the accrued and unpaid dividends of $1.0 million.
     
  (b) The pro forma adjustment represents the issuance of Realty Income common stock as consideration for the Mergers, as described in Note 4. The fair value of Realty Income common stock to be issued to former holders of VEREIT common stock and VEREIT OP common units is based on the per share closing price of Realty Income common stock of $69.35 on June 1, 2021.
     
  (c) Represents the estimated fair value of fully vested VEREIT DSU Awards which will be converted into Realty Income common stock upon the Mergers, as well as the fair value of the Realty Income replacement employee and executive stock options, restricted stock units, and performance restricted stock units that will be granted at the closing date of the Mergers and which are attributable to pre-combination services.
     
  (d) The pro forma adjustment to distributions in excess of net income excludes $46.8 million of estimated transaction costs to be incurred by VEREIT as a result of the Mergers. These costs are expected to be recognized as an expense in VEREIT's pre-merger statement of operations and therefore they are reflected as a liability assumed by Realty Income, with no impact on pro forma combined distributions in excess of net income.

 

13) The pro forma adjustment reflects the removal of noncontrolling interests related to shares of the VEREIT OP Series F Preferred Units held by VEREIT OP’s minority partners, totaling $1.8 million, and the VEREIT OP common units, totaling $4.2 million, which will be exchanged into Realty Income common stock upon consummation of the Mergers.

 

Statements of Operations

 

The pro forma adjustments reflect the effect of the Mergers on Realty Income’s and VEREIT’s historical consolidated statements of operations and shares used in computing income from continuing operations available to common stockholders per common share as if the Mergers occurred on January 1, 2020.

 

Revenue

 

14) Rental (including reimbursable)

 

The historical rental revenues for Realty Income and VEREIT represent contractual and straight-line rents and amortization of above-market and below-market lease intangibles associated with the leases in effect during the periods presented. The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are presented to: (i) eliminate the historical straight-line rents and amortization of above-market and below-market lease intangibles for the real estate properties of VEREIT acquired as part of the Mergers, and (ii) adjust contractual rental property revenue for such properties to a straight-line basis and amortize above-market and below-market lease intangibles recognized as a result of the Merger.

 

The pro forma adjustment for the amortization of above-market and below-market lease intangibles recognized as a result of the Mergers was estimated based on a straight-line methodology and the estimated remaining weighted average contractual, in-place lease term of 8.4 years. The lease intangible asset and liability fair values and estimated amortization expense may differ materially from the preliminary determination within these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The pro forma adjustments to rental revenues do not purport to be indicative of the expected change in rental revenues of the combined company in any future periods.

Total pro forma adjustment  $(2,933)  $21,393   $18,460 
For the year ended December 31, 2020            
Straight-line rents  $(23,149)  $59,908   $36,759 
Amortization of above-market and below-market lease intangibles   2,777    (18,625)   21,402 
Total pro forma adjustment  $(20,372)  $78,533   $58,161 

 

 

  (a) Elimination of historical amounts excludes amounts related to VEREIT properties that were sold between January 1, 2020 and March 31, 2021, because such properties are not part of the net assets acquired in the Mergers.

 

Expense

 

15) The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are presented to: (i) eliminate the historical depreciation and amortization of real estate properties of VEREIT acquired as part of the Mergers, and (ii) to recognize additional depreciation and amortization expense associated with the fair value of acquired real estate tangible and intangible assets. Refer to Note 4 for additional information.

 

The pro forma adjustment for the depreciation and amortization of acquired assets is calculated using a straight-line methodology and is based on estimated useful lives for building and site improvements, the remaining contractual, in-place lease term for intangible lease assets, and the lesser of the estimated useful life and the remaining contractual, in-place lease term for tenant improvements. The useful life of a particular building depends upon a number of factors including the condition of the building upon acquisition. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, the weighted average useful life for buildings and site improvements is 29.3 years; the weighted average useful life for tenant improvements is 8.3 years; and the weighted average remaining contractual, in-place lease term is 8.4 years. The fair value of acquired real estate tangible and intangible assets, estimated useful lives of such assets, and estimated depreciation and amortization expense may differ materially from the preliminary determination within these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The pro forma adjustments to depreciation and amortization expense are not necessarily indicative of the expected change in depreciation and amortization expense of the combined company in any future periods.

 

The following table summarizes adjustments made to depreciation and amortization expense by asset category for the real estate properties of VEREIT to be acquired as part of the Mergers for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020 (in thousands):

 

  For the three months

In-place leases and leasing commissions and marketing costs   72,167    288,667 
Less: Elimination of historical depreciation and amortization(a)   (106,878)   (435,366)
Total pro forma adjustment  $95,789   $375,298 

 

 

  (a) Elimination of historical amounts excludes amounts related to VEREIT properties that were sold between January 1, 2020 and March 31, 2021, because such properties are not part of the net assets acquired in the Mergers.

16)The following table summarizes the pro forma adjustments to interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020, which reflect the impact to the amounts recognized in VEREIT’s historical consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented from: (i) the elimination of historical deferred financing cost amortization, (ii) the elimination of historical amortization on net premiums/discounts, and (iii) the amortization of the fair value adjustment on VEREIT’s mortgages and notes payable assumed in the Mergers (in thousands):

Amortization of the fair value adjustment on mortgages and notes payable   (12,388 )   (49,552 )
Total pro forma adjustment   $ (15,191 )   $ (63,016 )

 

The pro forma adjustments for the amortization of the fair value adjustment on VEREIT’s mortgages and notes payable assumed in the Mergers were estimated based on a straight-line approach and the weighted average remaining contractual term of 3.6 years for mortgages payable and 8.2 years for notes payable. The fair value adjustment on VEREIT’s mortgages and notes payable and estimated amortization expense may differ materially from the preliminary determination within these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The pro forma adjustments to interest expense do not purport to be indicative of the expected change in interest expense of the combined company in any future periods.

 

17)Represents an adjustment to increase ground leases rent expense by $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 as a result of the revaluation of operating lease right-of-use assets and recognition of below-market ground lease intangible assets. The adjustment is computed based on a straight-line approach and a weighted average remaining lease term of 11.8 years. The fair value adjustment on VEREIT’s ground leases may differ materially from the preliminary determination within these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The pro forma adjustments to property (including reimbursable) expense do not purport to be indicative of the expected change in ground rent expense of the combined company in any future periods.
  

18)Represents an adjustment to recognize additional post-combination compensation expense of $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $15.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 associated with the fair value of Realty Income replacement awards issued to the holders of VEREIT restricted stock units, performance restricted stock units and stock options. The adjustment is based upon a straight-line vesting approach. The fair value of Realty Income’s replacement awards may differ materially from the preliminary determination within these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The pro forma adjustments to general and administrative expense do not purport to be indicative of the expected change in compensation expense of the combined company in any future periods.
  

19)Represents the adjustment for Merger-related costs of $76.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 resulting from estimated transaction-related costs that are not currently reflected in the historical consolidated financial statements of Realty Income and VEREIT; these estimated transaction costs consist primarily of advisor fees, legal fees, change in control payments, and accounting fees. It is assumed that these costs will not affect the combined statements of operations beyond twelve months after the closing date of the Mergers.

Note 6 — The Spin-Off and OfficeCo Properties

 

As noted above, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not give effect to the Spin-Off, or a sale of some or all of the OfficeCo Properties, because, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Realty Income and VEREIT have broad discretion to amend the scope and terms of the Spin-Off, including, among other things, the properties to be included as part of the OfficeCo Properties (including adding or removing properties). Realty Income and VEREIT may alternatively seek to sell some or all of the OfficeCo Properties, and Realty Income may elect not to consummate the Spin-Off at all.

 

As of the date of the Form 8-K, following the consummation of the Mergers, VEREIT and Realty Income intend to contribute to OfficeCo in connection with the Spin-Off and/or sell up to 93 total OfficeCo Properties, of which up to 53 properties would be office properties owned by VEREIT (the “VEREIT OfficeCo Properties”), and up to 40 properties would be office properties owned by Realty Income (the “Realty Income OfficeCo Properties”).

 

As of March 31, 2021, the VEREIT OfficeCo Properties represented total leasable square feet of 7.6 million, of which 94.5% were occupied. The carrying value of the total assets of the VEREIT OfficeCo Properties, net of the associated accumulated depreciation, as of March 31, 2021 was $1.3 billion on a historical U.S. GAAP basis, and was subject to $177.9 million in total mortgage debt principal. In April 2021, $19.1 million in mortgage principal for a VEREIT OfficeCo Property was repaid in full. Total revenues generated by the VEREIT OfficeCo Properties were $40.3 million and $168.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, also on a historical U.S. GAAP basis.

As of March 31, 2021, the Realty Income OfficeCo Properties represented total leasable square feet of 3.0 million, of which 95.3% were occupied. The carrying value of the total assets of the Realty Income OfficeCo Properties, net of the associated accumulated depreciation, as of March 31, 2021 was $536.4 million on a historical U.S. GAAP basis, and was subject to $36.9 million in total mortgage debt principal. In April 2021, $14.0 million in mortgage principal for a Realty Income OfficeCo Property was repaid in full. Total revenues generated by the Realty Income OfficeCo Properties were $13.0 million and $53.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, also on a historical U.S. GAAP basis.

 

After giving effect to the Merger Adjustments for the VEREIT OfficeCo Properties, which include the adjustment of land, buildings and other tangible real estate assets to fair value and the recognition of lease intangible assets and liabilities, as if the Mergers had been completed on March 31, 2021, and the impact of straight-line rent and amortization of above-market and below-market lease intangibles as if the Mergers had been completed on January 1, 2020, the OfficeCo Properties, in total, would have represented approximately 6% of the combined company total assets as of March 31, 2021 and approximately 7% and approximately 8% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. If the Spin-Off of the OfficeCo Properties is effectuated, Realty Income’s management estimates transfer taxes of $40.0 million will be incurred.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Realty Income may, after consultation with and good faith consideration of any comments from VEREIT, determine, or in certain cases, amend, the scope and terms of the Spin-Off, including, among other things, the properties to be included as part of the OfficeCo Properties (including adding or removing properties), the scope and nature of the reorganization plan, the terms of the separation and distribution agreement, and the scope of transition services to be provided by Realty Income following the Spin-Off, if any. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Realty Income may, after consultation with and good faith consideration of any comments from VEREIT, alternatively seek to sell some or all of the OfficeCo Properties to third parties in connection with the closing of the Merger, and the parties may otherwise sell certain properties that would have otherwise been included in the OfficeCo Properties during the pendency of the Mergers. Similarly, Realty Income may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive the Spin-Off Condition, and consummate the Mergers without effectuating the Spin-Off. Accordingly, actual or prospective holders of Realty Income's common stock, preferred stock (if any) and debt securities should not place undue reliance on the consummation of the Spin-Off as described above in determining whether or not to hold, purchase or sell securities of Realty Income.
