Cim Real Estate Finance Trust (CMRF)

CIM Real Estate Finance Trust Inc. (formerly known as Cole Credit Property Trust IV Inc.) (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a non-exchange traded REIT formed as a Maryland corporation on July 27, 2010 that elected to be taxed and currently qualifies as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2012. Historically, we have primarily acquired core commercial real estate assets principally consisting of necessity retail properties located throughout the United States. We use the term “core” to describe existing properties currently operating and generating income that are leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term net leases and are strategically located. In April of 2019, we announced our intention to pursue a more diversified investment strategy, ultimately transitioning to a mortgage REIT, by balancing our existing portfolio of core commercial real estate assets with future investments in a portfolio of commercial mortgage loans and other real estate-related credit investments that we would originate, acquire, finance and manage.
