Realty Income is engaged in the acquisition and management of freestanding commercial properties which reap rental revenue under long-term net lease agreements. It's structured as a real estate investment trust, or REIT. Realty Income's portfolio comprises more than 11,000 properties, located in all U.S. states, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom and Spain. These properties are leased to the tenants belonging to multiple separate industries. The combined entity through the merger with VEREIT, is poised to benefit from the enhanced size, scale, diversification and synergies.
