EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 of VEREIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, of which VEREIT, Inc. is the sole general partner. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “VEREIT,” the “Company” or the “General Partner” mean VEREIT, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P., and all references to the “Operating Partnership” or “OP” mean VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
As the sole general partner of VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P., VEREIT, Inc. has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management and control.
We believe combining the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of VEREIT, Inc. and VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P. into this single report results in the following benefits:
enhancing investors’ understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and
creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
There are a few differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, which are reflected in the disclosure in this report. We believe it is important to understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated consolidated company. VEREIT, Inc. is a real estate investment trust whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, VEREIT, Inc. does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing equity or debt from time to time and guaranteeing certain unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of the assets of the Company and holds the ownership interests in the Company’s joint ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity or debt issuances by VEREIT, Inc., which are generally contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the Company’s business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, by the Operating Partnership’s direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units. To help investors understand the significant differences between VEREIT, Inc. and the Operating Partnership, there are separate sections in this report that separately discuss VEREIT, Inc. and the Operating Partnership, including the consolidated financial statements and certain notes to the consolidated financial statements as well as separate disclosures in Item 4. Controls and Procedures and Exhibit 31 and Exhibit 32 certifications. As sole general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, VEREIT, Inc. consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of VEREIT, Inc. and VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P. are the same on their respective consolidated financial statements. The separate discussions of VEREIT, Inc. and VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P. in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.

VEREIT’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), and its 6.70% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series F Preferred Stock”) trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the trading symbols, “VER” and “VER PFPRF,” respectively. As used herein, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to VEREIT, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including the OP.
VEREIT is a full-service real estate operating company which owns and manages one of the largest portfolios of single-tenant commercial properties in the U.S. VEREIT’s business model provides equity capital to creditworthy corporations in return for long-term leases on their properties. The Company actively manages its portfolio considering a number of metrics including property type, concentration and key economic factors for appropriate balance and diversity.

VEREIT is the sole general partner and holder of 98.1%99.9% of the common equity interests in the OP as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019 with the remaining 1.9% of the common equity interests owned by unaffiliated investors and the Company's former external manager, ARC Properties Advisors, LLC, and its principals (the “Former Manager”).2020. Under the limited partnership agreement of the OP, as amended (the “LPA”), after holding common units of limited partner interests in the OP (“OP Units”) or Series F Preferred Units of limited partnership interests in the OP (“Series F Preferred Units”), for a period of one year and meeting the other requirements in the LPA, unless we otherwise consent to an earlier redemption, holders have the right to redeem the units for the cash value of a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock or Series F Preferred Stock, as applicable, or, at our option, a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock or Series F Preferred Stock, as applicable, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the LPA. The remaining rights of the holders of OP Units are limited, however, and do not include the ability to replace the General Partner or to approve the sale, purchase or refinancing of the OP’s assets.
The actions of the OP and its relationship with the General Partner are governed by the LPA. The General Partner does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the OP.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and a consolidated joint venture. The portion of the consolidated joint venture not owned by the Company is presented as non-controlling interest in VEREIT’s and the OP’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income (loss) and statements of changes in equity. In addition, as described in Note 1 – Organization and Note 12 – Equity, certain third parties have been issued OP Units and Series F Preferred Units. Holders of OP Units are considered to be non-controlling interest holders in the OP and their ownership interest in the limited partner’s share is presented as non-controlling interests in VEREIT’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income (loss) and statements of changes in equity. Further, a portion of the earnings and losses of the OP are allocated to non-controlling interest holders based on their respective ownership percentages. Upon conversion of OP Units to Common Stock or Series F Preferred Units to Series F Preferred Stock, any differenceEquity is reallocated between the fair value of shares of Common Stock or Series F Preferred Stock, as applicable, issuedcontrolling and the carrying value ofnoncontrolling interests in the OP Units or Series F Preferred Units,upon a change in ownership. At the end of each annual reporting period, noncontrolling interests in the OP are adjusted to reflect their ownership percentage in the OP through a reallocation between controlling and noncontrolling interests in the OP, as applicable, converted is recorded as a component of equity.applicable. As of Septembereach of June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, there were approximately 20.8 million and 23.70.8 million Limited Partner OP Units issued and outstanding, respectively, and 49,766 and 86,874 Limited Partner Series F Preferred Units issued and outstanding, respectively.

outstanding.
For legal entities being evaluated for consolidation, the Company must first determine whether the interests that it holds and fees it receives qualify as variable interests in the entity. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns. The Company’s evaluation includes consideration of fees paid to the Company where the Company acts as a decision maker or service provider to the entity being evaluated. If the Company determines that it holds a variable interest in an entity, it evaluates whether that entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). VIEs are entities where investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or where equity investors, as a group, lack one of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (c) the right to receive the expected returns of the entity. The Company consolidates entities that are not VIEs if it has a majority voting interest or other rights that result in effectively controlling the entity.
The Company then qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE, which is generally defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. Consideration of various factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and its obligation to absorb losses from or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates any VIEs when the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and the difference between consolidating the VIE and accounting for it using the equity method could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company continually evaluates the need to consolidate these VIEs based on standards set forth in U.S. GAAP.
Reclassification
As described below,The fees from managed partnerships, which are fees earned from the following itemsCompany’s unconsolidated joint venture entities, previously reported have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.
The operating expense reimbursements line item has been combined into rental revenue for prior periods presented to be consistent with the current year presentation. The (loss) gain on derivative instruments, net line item has been combined intoincluded in other income (loss), net have been presented in its own line item for prior periods presented to be consistent with the current year presentation.
The distributions declared on Common Stock line item from prior periods has been updated to exclude distributions on restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”) and deferred stock units (“Deferred Stock Units”) on the consolidated statements of changes in equity for all periods presented. These amounts are now included in the line item dividend equivalents on awards granted under the Equity Plan (as defined below), which also includes dividend equivalents on restricted share awards (“Restricted Shares”). The dividend equivalents on Restricted Shares were previously included in the line item distributions to participating securities in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.

Revenue Recognition - Real Estate
Rental Revenue
The Company continually reviews receivables related to rent, straight-line rent and unbilled rent receivablesproperty operating expense reimbursements and determines collectability by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. Upon adoptionThe review includes a binary assessment of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), effective January 1, 2019,whether or not substantially all of the amounts due under a tenant’s lease agreement are probable of collection. For leases that are deemed probable of collection, revenue continues to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term and the Company recognizes a general allowance on a portfolio-wide basis. For leases that are deemed not probable of collection, revenue is recorded as cash is received and the Company reduces rental revenue for any straight-line rent receivables. The Company recognizes all changes in the collectability assessment for an operating lease as an adjustment to rental revenue. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, rental revenue was reduced by $13.2 million and $18.5 million, respectively, which included (i) $2.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of an increase to the general allowance, (ii) $7.4 million and $9.4 million, respectively, for amounts not probable of collection, and (iii) $3.7 million and $7.6 million, respectively, for straight-line rent receivables. Of the $13.2 million reduction to rental revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020, $8.4 million was related to the impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, of which $0.9 million represented an increase to the general allowance, $3.8 million represented amounts not probable of collection, and $3.7 million was for straight-line rent receivables.
Rental revenue also includes lease termination income collected from tenants to allow for the tenant to vacate their space prior to their scheduled termination dates, as well as amortization of above and below-market leases.
Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The FASB issued a question-and-answer document, Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic for concessions related to the effects of COVID-19 that provide a deferral of payments with no substantive changes to the consideration of the original contract allows an entity to elect to not analyze each contract to determine whether enforceable rights and obligations for concessions exist in the contract and to elect to apply or not apply the lease modification guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), to those contracts (the “COVID-19 Lease Concessions Relief”). For eligible concessions, the Company has elected not to apply the lease modification guidance in ASC 842. As such, the Company accounts for eligible deferral concessions as if there were no changes made to the lease agreement and, accordingly, continues to recognize income and doesincreases the lease receivable. Ineligible concessions are accounted for as a lease modification under ASC 842, which requires the Company to reevaluate the lease classification and remeasure and reallocate the consideration over the remaining lease term, and include any prepaid rent liabilities and accrued rent assets relating to the original lease as part of the lease payments for the modified lease. 
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had $3.6 million of rental revenue related to deferral agreements executed through June 30, 2020 and $5.3 million related to deferral agreements executed from July 1, 2020 through July 27, 2020, which qualify for the COVID-19 Lease Concessions Relief. The Company did not record an allowancerental revenue for uncollectible accounts.$11.2 million of second quarter rental revenue abated pursuant to lease amendments executed through June 30, 2020, which increased the weighted average lease term for the related properties.
Fees from Managed Partnerships
The Company provides various services to our unconsolidated joint venture entities in exchange for fees. Total asset and property management and acquisition fees earned in connection with these entities was $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1.0 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Restructuring
On February 1, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its investment management segment and entered into a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with the purchaser, pursuant to which the Company continued to provide certain investment management and other services through March 31, 2019.

NaN restructuring expenses were recorded prior to January 1, 2019. The Company expects to incur an additional $0.9 million of restructuring expenses during 2019.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted Accounting Standards
The Company adopted ASC 842, effective January 1, 2019. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The most significant impact was the recognition of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities for operating leases pursuant to which the Company is the lessee. The Company’s impairment assessment for ROU assets will be consistent with the impairment analysis for the Company's other long-lived assets and is reviewed quarterly, which is discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The lessor accounting model under ASC 842 is similar to existing guidance, however, it limits the capitalization of initial direct leasing costs, such as internally generated costs.
The Company elected all practical expedients permitted under ASC 842, other than the hindsight practical expedient. Accordingly, the Company will retain distinction between a finance lease (i.e., capital leases under existing guidance) and an operating lease and account for its existing operating leases as operating leases under the new guidance, which did not require the reassessment of lease arrangements, lease classification or initial direct costs. The Company does not have a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
The Company as lessor, identified three separate lease components as follows: 1) land lease component, 2) single property lease component comprised of building, land improvements and tenant improvements, and 3) furniture and fixtures. The nonlease components relate to service obligations under certain lease contracts for service of the building, land improvements or tenant improvements. The Company determined the nonlease components are eligible to be combined under the practical expedient in ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2018-11,” combined with ASC 842, “Leasing ASUs”) and the nonlease components will be included with the single property lease component as the predominant component. Therefore, the Company will account for the combined component as a lease component under ASC 842. Refer to Note 11 - Leases for the related disclosures.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issuedadopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topicand subsequent amendments (collectively Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 is, effective January 1, 2020.

Reference Rate Reform
During the first quarter of 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”)-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

(1)The Company’s ownership interest reflects its legal ownership interest. Legal ownership may, at times, not equal the Company’s economic interest in the listed properties because of various provisions in certain joint venture agreements regarding capital contributions, distributions of cash flow based on capital account balances, allocations of profits and losses and payments of preferred returns. 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.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measures
The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. U.S. GAAP guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets. The Company does not expect that changes in classifications between levels will be frequent.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those instruments fall (in thousands):

Derivative Assets and Liabilities The Company’s derivative financial instruments relate to interest rate swaps. The valuation of derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company’s potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the counterparties.

Although the Company determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with those derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivatives. As a result, the Company determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment.
Real Estate Investments The Company performs quarterly impairment review procedures for real estate investments and investments in unconsolidated entities, primarily through continuous monitoring of events and changes in circumstances that could indicate the carrying value of its real estate assets may not be recoverable.
As part of the Company’s quarterly impairment review procedures, net real estate assets representing 5338 properties were deemed to be impaired resulting in impairment charges of $24.2$20.5 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. The impairment charges relate to certain retail and restaurant properties whose tenants filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy during the six months ended June 30, 2020, were identified by management for potential sale or were determined would not be re-leased by the tenant.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company considered whether there was any indication of impairment for properties that did not otherwise have potential impairment indicators and did not identify additional properties as of June 30, 2020. Based on the Company’s expected holding period for the properties and the economic conditions as of June 30, 2020, the Company believes that their carrying values are recoverable. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the businesses of certain of our tenants so the Company continues to monitor for circumstances and events in future periods, which may result in impairment charges.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, net real estate assets related to 42 properties, were deemed to be impaired resulting in impairment charges of $20.3 million. The impairment charges related to certain office, retail and restaurant properties that, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, management identified for potential sale or determined, based on discussions with the current tenants, would not be re-leased. Duringre-leased by the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net real estate assets relatedtenant and the Company believed the property would not be leased to 53 properties were deemed to be impaired, resulting in impairment charges of $36.1 million.another tenant at a rental rate that supports the current book value.

The Company estimates fair values using Level 3 inputs and uses a combined income and market approach, specifically using discounted cash flow analysis and recent comparable sales transactions. The evaluation of real estate assets for potential impairment requires the Company’s management to exercise significant judgment and make certain key assumptions, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) capitalization rate; (2) discount rates; (3) number of years property will be held; (4) property operating expenses; and (5) re-leasing assumptions including number of months to re-lease, market rental revenue and required tenant improvements. There are inherent uncertainties in making these estimates such as market conditions and performance and sustainability of the Company’s tenants. For the Company’s impairment tests for the real estate assets during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the Company used a range of discount rates from 7.9% to 8.3%8.4% with a weighted-average rate of 8.0%8.2% and capitalization rates from 7.4% to 7.8%7.9% with a weighted-average rate of 7.5%7.7%.
Goodwill The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
As a result of a decrease in the Company’s stock price during the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company assessed its goodwill for impairment as of June 30, 2020, which resulted in 0 impairments. The Company continues to monitor factors that may impact the fair value of goodwill including, but not limited to, market comparable company multiples, interest rates, and global economic conditions.

Note 7 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The Company’s interest rate management objectives are intended to limit the impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings and cash flows and to manage the Company’s overall borrowing costs. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its cash flow hedging strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges are used to hedge forecasted issuances of fixed rate debt and the variable cash flows associated with floating rate debt. The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for purposes other than interest rate risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

The Company records all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
The accounting for subsequent changes in the fair value of these derivatives depends on whether each has been designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. If the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting treatment, any changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments is recognized immediately in other income (loss), net in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). If the derivative is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment, the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to interest expense when the related hedged items impact earnings.

Litigation
The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings and claims incidental to the ordinary course of its business. There are no material legal proceedings pending against the Company, except as follows:
Government Investigations and Litigation Relating to the Audit Committee Investigation
As previously reported, on October 29, 2014, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “October 29 8-K”) reporting the Audit Committee’s conclusion, based on the preliminary findings of its investigation, that certain previously issued consolidated financial statements of the Company, including those included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, and related financial information should no longer be relied upon. The Company also reported that the Audit Committee had based its conclusion on the preliminary findings of its investigation into concerns regarding accounting practices and other matters that were first reported to the Audit Committee in early September 2014 and that the Audit Committee believed that an error in the calculation of adjusted funds from operations for the first quarter of 2014 had been identified but intentionally not corrected when the Company reported its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Prior to the filing of the October 29 8-K, the Audit Committee previewed for the SEC the information contained in the filing. Subsequent to that filing, the SEC provided notice that it had commenced a formal investigation and issued subpoenas calling for the production of various documents. In addition, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York contacted counsel for the Audit Committee and counsel for the Company with respect to this matter, and the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts issued a

subpoena calling for the production of various documents. The Company has been cooperatingcooperated with these regulators inthroughout their investigations.
In connection with these investigations, on September 8, 2016, the United States The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York announced the filing of criminal charges against the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer (the “Former CFO”) and former Chief Accounting Officer (the “Criminal Action”), as well as the fact that the former Chief Accounting Officer pleaded guilty to the charges filed. Also on September 8, 2016, the SEC announced the filing of a civil complaint against the same 2 individuals in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On June 30, 2017, following a jury trial, the Former CFO was convicted of the charges filed. Both the former Chief Accounting Officer and the Former CFO have entered into settlement agreements with the SEC resolving the charges brought against them.
The United States Attorney’s Office has indicatedconcluded that it doesdid not intend to bring any criminal charges against the Company arising from its investigation. In addition,investigation and the Company has not been in contactbelieves that the investigation by the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is no longer pending.
On November 18, 2019, the Company announced it had reached agreement with the Massachusetts regulator since June 2015 and believes the investigation is concluded. In March 2018, investigative staff of the SEC’s enforcement division inquired whether the Company wished to discuss a resolutionEnforcement Division of potential civil charges the SEC may bring with respecton the material terms of a negotiated resolution relating to certainthe SEC's investigation of the matters investigated bydisclosed in the staff stemming from the announcement made onCompany's October 29 2014.8-K. The Company has been cooperatingagreement with the SEC staff’s investigation since its inception and is engaged in such discussions with the staff. The timing and substance of the ultimate resolution of these discussions is unknown.
As discussed below, the Company and certain of its former officers and directors have been named as defendants in a number of lawsuits filed following the October 29 8-K, including class actions, individual actions and derivative actions seeking money damages and other relief under the federal securities laws and state laws in both federal and state courts in New York, Maryland and Arizona.
Between October 30, 2014 and January 20, 2015, the Company and certain of its former officers and directors, among other individuals and entities, were named as defendants in 10 securities class action complaints filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The court consolidated these actions under the caption In re American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. Litigation, No. 15-MC-00040 (AKH) (the “Class Action”). The plaintiffs filed a second amended class action complaint on December 11, 2015,staff, which asserted claims for violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On September 30, 2016, plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint to reflect certain prior rulingswas approved by the court in connection with various motions to dismiss. On August 31, 2017, the court issued an order granting plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. Defendants’ petitions seeking leave to appeal the court’s order granting class certification were deniedSEC's Commissioners on January 24, 2018. Trial was scheduled to begin on January 21, 2020. On September 8, 2019, the Company, along with the other parties to the Class Action, signed a MemorandumJune 23, 2020, required payment of Understanding (“MOU”) providing for the settlement of the Class Action, and on September 30, 2019, the parties entered into a Stipulation of Settlement (the “Class Action Settlement”) consistent with the terms of the MOU. Pursuant to the proposed Class Action Settlement, certain defendants agreed to pay in the aggregate $1.025 billion, comprised of contributions from the Company’s Former Manager totaling $225.0$8.0 million $12.5 million from the Company’s Former CFO, $49.0 million from the Company’s former auditor, and the balance of $738.5 million from the Company, which is included in litigation and non-routine costs, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Class Action Settlement is subject to court approval and is contingent on final approval of the Derivative Settlement discussed herein. On October 4, 2019, the court issued an order granting preliminary approval of the Class Action Settlement and setting a hearing date for January 21, 2020 to consider final approval of the settlement.
The Company, certain of its former officers and directors, and the OP, among others, were also named as defendants in 13 individual securities fraud actions filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York: Jet Capital Master Fund, L.P. v.

The Company entered into a series of agreements dated September 30 through October 26, 2018, to settle 12 of the 13 pending Opt-Out Actions (the “Opt-Out Settlement Agreements”) brought by plaintiffs holding shares of common stock and swaps referencing common stock representing approximately 18.0% of VEREIT’s outstanding shares of common stock held at the end of the period covered by the litigations, for an aggregate payment of $127.5 million. The Opt-Out Settlement Agreements contain mutual releases by both plaintiffs and the Company, although the Company retains the right to pursue any and all claims against the other defendants in each Opt-Out Action and/or third parties, including claims for contribution for amounts paid in the settlement. The Opt-Out Settlement Agreements do not contain any admission of liability, wrongdoing or responsibility by any of the parties.
On October 27, 2015, the Company and certain of its former officers, among others, were also named as defendants in an individual securities fraud action filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, captioned Vanguard Specialized Funds, et al. v.

The Vanguard Settlement Agreement contains mutual releases by Plaintiffs and the Company, although the Company retains the right to pursue any and all claims against the other defendants in the Vanguard Action and/or third parties, including claims for contribution for amounts paid in the settlement. The Vanguard Settlement Agreement does not contain any admission of liability, wrongdoing or responsibility by any of the parties. Vanguard’s holdings accounted for approximately 13.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock held at the end of the period covered by the various pending shareholder actions.
In addition to the settlement of the Opt-Out actions and the Vanguard Action discussed above, between February 5, 2019 and April 5, 2019, the Company entered into a series of agreements to settle claims with shareholders who decided not to participate as class members in the Class Action. Pursuant to the terms of these settlement agreements, the shareholders released all claims that were the subject matter of the Class Action and the Companywas made payments totaling $27.9 million.
On June 24, 2019, the Company and certain of its former officers were named as defendants in an individual action filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York captioned Lakewood Capital Partners, L.P. v. American Realty Capital Properties, Inc., et al., Index No. 653676/2019 (the “Lakewood Action”), alleging claims of common law fraud arising out of allegedly false and misleading statements similar to those that are the subject of the Class Action.
On September 6 and September 9, 2019, the Company entered into settlement agreements and releases similar to the Opt-Out Settlement Agreements to settle the only 2 remaining opt-out actions - the Jet Capital Action and the Lakewood Action - for a total of $27.0 million, which is included in litigation and non-routine costs, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
The Company was also named as a nominal defendant, and certain of its former officers and directors were named as defendants, in shareholder derivative actions filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York: Witchko v. Schorsch, et al., No. 15-cv-06043 (the “Witchko Action”); and Serafin, et al. v. Schorsch, et al., No. 15-cv-08563 (the “Serafin Action”). The court consolidated the Witchko Action and the Serafin Action (together the “SDNY Derivative Action”) and the plaintiffs designated the complaint filed in the Witchko Action as the operative complaint in the SDNY Derivative Action. The SDNY Derivative Action seeks money damages and other relief on behalf of the Company for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, among other claims. In conjunction with entering into the Class Action Settlement, the Company entered into an agreement to resolve the SDNY Derivative Action (the “Derivative Settlement”). The Derivative Settlement is also subject to court approval and is contingent on final approval of the Class Action Settlement discussed herein. On October 4, 2019, the court issued an order granting preliminary approval of the Derivative Settlement and setting a hearing date for January 21, 2020 to consider final approval of the settlement.
On December 3, 2015, the Company was named as a nominal defendant and certain of its former officers and directors were named as defendants in a shareholder derivative action filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City in Maryland, Frampton v.

behalf of the Company for, among other things, alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and contribution and indemnification. By order dated November 4, 2016, the Frampton Action was stayed pending resolution of the SDNY Derivative Action.
On June 10, 2016, the Company was named as a nominal defendant, and certain of its former officers and directors, among others, were named as defendants, in a shareholder derivative action filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Kosky v. Schorsch, et al., No. 653093/2016 (the “Kosky Action”). The Kosky Action seeks money damages and other relief on behalf of the Company for, among other things, alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, negligence, and breach of contract. On October 6, 2016, the parties filed a stipulation staying the Kosky Action until resolution of the Class Action.
On October 6, 2016, the Company was named as a nominal defendant, and certain of its former officers and directors, among others, were named as defendants, in a shareholder derivative action filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, captioned Meloche v. Schorsch, et al., 16-cv-03366 (the “Meloche Action”). An amended complaint was filed on January 17, 2017. The Meloche Action seeks money damages and other relief on behalf of the Company for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and negligence. By order dated May 16, 2017, the Meloche Action was stayed until resolution of the SDNY Derivative Action, and by order dated October 25, 2019, the stay was continued.
There can be no assurance as to the timing of the court’s final approval of the Class Action Settlement and the Derivative Settlement, whether such approvals will be obtained, or how these settlements may affect any potential future resolution of the remaining derivative lawsuits, the SEC investigation or the timing of any such resolutions. The Company has not reserved an amount for the SEC investigation because it believes that any probable loss or reasonably possible range of loss is not reasonably estimable at this time. The ultimate resolution of all of these matters, the timing and/or substance of which is unknown, may materially impact the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
Cole Litigation Matter
In December 2013, Realistic Partners filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company and the then-members of its board of directors in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, captioned Realistic Partners v. American Realty Capital Partners, et al., No. 654468/2013. The plaintiff alleged, among other things, that the board of the Company breached its fiduciary duties in connection with the transactions contemplated under the agreement and plan of merger with Cole Real Estate Investments, Inc. In January 2014, the parties entered into a memorandum of understanding regarding settlement of all claims asserted on behalf of the alleged class of the Company’s stockholders. The proposed settlement terms required the Company to make certain additional disclosures related to this merger, which were included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on January 17, 2014. The memorandum of understanding also contemplated that the parties would enter into a stipulation of settlement, which would be subjectsubsequent to customary conditions, including confirmatory discovery and court approval following notice to the Company’s stockholders, and provided that the defendants would not object to a payment of up to $625,000 for attorneys’ fees. If the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, which has not occurred, a hearing will be scheduled at which the court will consider the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement. There can be no assurance that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement, that the court will approve any proposed settlement, or that any eventual settlement will be under the same terms as those contemplated by the memorandum of understanding.quarter end.
Purchase Commitments
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various types of commitments to purchase real estate properties. These commitments are generally subject to the Company’s customary due diligence process and, accordingly, a number of specific conditions must be met before the Company is obligated to purchase the properties.
Environmental Matters
In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and is not aware of any other environmental condition, in each case, that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations.

All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019, as supplemented in Part II, Item 1A. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We use certain defined terms throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have the following meanings:
When we refer to “annualized rental income,” we mean the rental revenue under our leases on operating properties on a straight-line basis, which includes the effect of rent escalations and any tenant concessions, such as free rent, and our pro rata share of such revenues from properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures. Annualized rental income excludes any adjustments to rental income due to changes in the collectability assessment, contingent rent, such as percentage rent, and operating expense reimbursements. Management uses annualized rental income as a basis for tenant, industry and geographic concentrations and other metrics within the portfolio. Annualized rental income is not indicative of future performance.
When we refer to a “creditworthy tenant,” we mean a tenant that has entered into a lease that we determine is creditworthy and may include tenants with an investment grade or below investment grade credit rating, as determined by major credit rating agencies, or unrated tenants. To the extent we determine that a tenant is a “creditworthy tenant” even though it does not have an investment grade credit rating, we do so based on our management’s determination that a tenant should have the financial wherewithal to honor its obligations under its lease with us. As explained further below, this determination is based on our management’s substantial experience performing credit analysis and is made after evaluating all of a tenant’s due diligence materials that are made available to us, including financial statements and operating data.
When we refer to a “direct financing lease,” we mean a lease that requires specific treatment due to the significance of the lease payments from the inception of the lease compared to the fair value of the property, term of the lease, a transfer of ownership, or a bargain purchase option. These leases are recorded as a net asset on the balance sheet. The amount recorded is calculated as the fair value of the remaining lease payments on the leases and the estimated fair value of any expected residual property value at the end of the lease term.
When we refer to properties that are net leased on a “long term basis,” we mean properties with remaining primary lease terms of generally seven to 10 years or longer on average, depending on property type.
Under a “net lease,” the tenant occupying the leased property (usually as a single tenant) does so in much the same manner as if the tenant were the owner of the property. There are various forms of net leases, most typically classified as triple net or double net. Triple net leases typically require that the tenant pay all expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs). Double net leases typically require that the tenant pay all operating expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance), but excludes some or all major repairs (e.g., roof, structure and parking lot). Accordingly, the owner receives the rent “net” of these expenses, rendering the cash flow associated with the lease predictable for the term of the lease. Under a net lease, the tenant generally agrees to lease the property for a significant term and agrees that it will either have no ability or only limited ability to terminate the lease or abate rent prior to the expiration of the term of the lease as a result of real estate driven events such as casualty, condemnation or failure by the landlord to fulfill its obligations under the lease.
When we refer to “operating properties” we mean properties owned and consolidated by the Company, omitting properties (the “Excluded Properties”) for which (i) the related mortgage loan is in default, and (ii) management decides to transfer the properties to the lender in connection with settling the mortgage note obligation. At Septemberand during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018,2020, there were no Excluded Properties. At and during the three months ended June 30, 2019, there was one Excluded Property which was an office property comprising 145,186 square feet, of which 6,926 square feet was vacant, with an outstanding principal balance of $19.5 million.

Effective April 1, 2019, the Company determined that the real estate portfolio and economic metrics of operating properties should include the Company's pro rata share of square feet and annualized rental income from the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures, based upon the Company's legal ownership percentage, which may, at times, not equal the Company's economic interest because of various provisions in certain joint venture agreements regarding distributions of cash flow based on capital account balances, allocations of profits and losses and payments of preferred returns. The Company did not update data presented for prior periods as the impact on prior period metrics was immaterial.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our portfolio was comprised of 3,9263,836 retail, restaurant, office and industrial real estate properties with an aggregate 88.789.2 million square feet, of which 98.9%98.7% was leased, with a weighted-average remaining lease term of 8.48.5 years. Omitting the square feet of one redevelopment property and including the pro rata share of square feet and annualized rental income from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures, we owned 3,926 retail, restaurant, office and industrial operating properties with an aggregate of 90.788.9 million square feet, of which 99.0%98.8% was leased, with a weighted-average remaining lease term of 8.48.5 years as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.

Results of Operations
COVID-19 has impacted all states where our tenants operate their businesses or where our properties are located, and measures taken to prevent or remediate COVID-19, including “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders, other quarantine mandates and restriction on the operations of certain types of businesses issued by local, state or federal authorities, have had an adverse effect on our business and the businesses of our tenants. While our business was not materially impacted during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from the COVID-19 pandemic, our rent collection was impacted and for the second quarter was 85% of rental revenue on an annualized basis. The full extent of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations is uncertain.
Our dedicated property type asset management teams have been in discussion with tenants to understand the impact of COVID-19 on their businesses. As of July 27, 2020, we received rent relief requests, most often in the form of rent deferral requests, from tenants representing approximately 33% of rental revenue on an annualized basis, including some tenants that paid April, May, June and/ or July rent. These rent relief requests vary in timeframes, but are concentrated within the two to four month range. We evaluate each tenant request on a case-by-case basis, including by analyzing metrics such as industry segment, corporate financial health, rent coverage, and the tenant's liquidity. As of July 27, 2020, we collected the following percent of rent, which included contractual rent and recoveries paid by tenants to cover estimated tax, insurance and common area maintenance expenses, including our pro rata share of such amounts related to properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures:

Non-GAAP Measures
Our results are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We also disclose certain non-GAAP measures, as discussed further below. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in our internal analysis of results and believes these measures are useful to investors for the reasons explained below. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for any measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“Nareit”), an industry trade group, has promulgated a supplemental performance measure known as funds from operations (“FFO”), which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under U.S. GAAP.
Nareit defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP adjusted for gains or losses from disposition of property, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, impairment write-downs on real estate, and our pro rata share of FFO adjustments related to unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We calculate FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition described above.
In addition to FFO, we use adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) as a non-GAAP supplemental financial performance measure to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. AFFO, as defined by the Company, excludes from FFO non-routine items such as acquisition-related expenses, litigation and non-routine costs, net, loss on disposition of discontinued operations, net revenue or expense earned or incurred that is related to the Services Agreement,services agreement associated with a discontinued operation, gains or losses on sale of investment securities or mortgage notes receivable, payments on fully reserved loan receivables and restructuring expenses. We also exclude certain non-cash items such as impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, straight-line rent, net of bad debt expense related to straight-line rent, net direct financing lease adjustments, gains or losses on derivatives, reserves for loan loss, gains or losses on the extinguishment or forgiveness of debt, non-current portion of the tax benefit or expense, equity-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets, deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts on debt and investments, above-market lease assets and below-market lease liabilities. We omit the impact of the Excluded Properties and related non-recourse mortgage notes from FFO to calculate AFFO. Management believes that excluding these costs from FFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance models and analysis used by management, and provides investors a view of the performance of our portfolio over time. AFFO allows for a comparison of the performance of our operations with other publicly-traded REITs, as AFFO, or an equivalent measure, is routinely reported by publicly-traded REITs, and we believe often used by analysts and investors for comparison purposes.
For all of these reasons, we believe FFO and AFFO, in addition to net income (loss), as defined by U.S. GAAP, are helpful supplemental performance measures and useful in understanding the various ways in which our management evaluates the performance of the Company over time. However, not all REITs calculate FFO and AFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. FFO and AFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) and are not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs. Neither the SEC,U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), Nareit, nor any other regulatory body has evaluated the acceptability of the exclusions used to adjust FFO in order to calculate AFFO and its use as a non-GAAP financial performance measure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our principal liquidity needs for the next twelve months and beyond are to:
fund normal operating expenses;
fund potential capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing costscosts;
meet debt service and principal repayment obligations, including balloon payments on maturing debt;
pay dividends;
pay litigation costs and expenses (including any settlements and judgments); and
fund property acquisitions.
We expect to be able to satisfy these obligations using one or more of the following sources:
cash flow from operations;
proceeds from real estate dispositions;
utilization of the existing Revolving Credit Facility;
cash and cash equivalents balance; and
issuance of VEREIT debt and equity securities.

The Company contributed the net proceeds from this offeringJune 30, 2020, in particular due to the OP in exchange for additional General Partner OP Units, which have substantially identical economic terms as the Company’s common stock.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company entered into forward starting interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $400.0 million, which were designated as cash flow hedges to hedge the risk of changes in the interest-related cash outflows associated with the potential issuance of long-term debt. The Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions over a maximum period of 120 months (excluding forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments), with potential issuance of 10-year public debt.
Litigation
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $69.5 million of litigation costs in connection with litigations and investigations that arose from the findings of the Audit Committee Investigation and related matters. The Company also entered into agreements to settle certain outstanding litigation, including the pending class action litigation. In accordance with the terms of the agreements, certain defendants agreed to pay in the aggregate $1.025 billion, comprised of contributions from the Former Manager totaling $225.0 million, $12.5 million from the Company’s Former CFO, $49.0 million from the Company’s former auditor, and the balance of $738.5 million from the Company. The contribution from the Company’s Former Manager and Former CFO were subsequently satisfied with a combination of (i) Limited Partner OP Units held by the Former Manager and the Former CFO, (ii) amounts due related to dividends on certain of such Limited Partner OP Units previously withheld from distribution, (iii) the value of substantially all of the Limited Partner OP Units and dividends surrendered to the Company in July 2019 as a result of a settlement by the Former Manager with the SEC, and (iv) cash paid by the Former Manager and Former CFO. On October 15, 2019, the Company paid $966.3 million to fund its contribution and a portion of the Former Manager and Former CFO’s contributions in connection with their 19.9 million surrendered Limited Partner OP Units and dividends related to certain of such Limited Partner OP Units.2020.
Dividends
On August 5, 2019,May 18, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors declared areduced the quarterly cash dividend in the second quarter of $0.13752020 to $0.077 per share of Common Stock (equaling an annualized dividend rate of $0.55 per share) for the third quarter of 2019 to stockholders of record as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, which was paid on OctoberJuly 15, 2019.2020 in an effort to minimize debt due to current economic uncertainty. An equivalent distribution by the Operating Partnership is applicable per OP Unit.
Our Series F Preferred Stock, as discussed in Note 12 – Equity to our consolidated financial statements, will pay cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 6.70% per annum on their liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (equivalent to $1.675 per share on an annual basis).

Common Stock Continuous Offering Program

TableThe Company has a continuous equity offering program pursuant to which the Company may sell shares of Contents
Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $750.0 million from time to time through April 15, 2022 in “at-the-market” offerings or certain other transactions (the “ATM Program”). The proceeds from any sale of shares under the ATM Program have been or will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include funding potential acquisitions and repurchasing or repaying outstanding indebtedness.

There were no issuances under the ATM Program during the six months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $663.3 million available to be sold under the ATM Program.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company has a share repurchase program (the “2019 Share Repurchase Program”) that permits the Company to repurchase up to $200.0 million of its outstanding Common Stock through May 6, 2022. Under the 2019 Share Repurchase Program, repurchases can be made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, structured or derivative transactions, including accelerated stock repurchase transactions, or other methods of acquiring shares in accordance with applicable securities laws and other legal requirements. The 2019 Share Repurchase Program program does not obligate the Company to make any repurchases at a specific time or in a specific situation and repurchases are influenced by prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock, the Company’s financial performance and other conditions. Shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company under the 2019 Share Repurchase Program program, if any, will be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock.
There were no share repurchases under the 2019 Share Repurchase Program during the six months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $200.0 million available for share repurchases under the 2019 Share Repurchase Program.

The increasedecrease was primarily due to a decrease in cash insurance recoveries received of $45.9 million, an increase of $23.2 million in tenant receivables, net of reserves and the $90.0abatement of $11.2 million of rental revenue, offset by a decrease in cash interest payments of $21.1 million, a decrease in litigation settlement payments of $27.9 million and a decrease in restructuring expenses paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the $54.9 million paid during the same period in 2019, and the receipt of an insurance settlement of $48.4$5.3 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.
Investing Activities Net cash provided by investing activities for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 increased $356.52020 decreased $504.8 million to $554.3$18.2 million from net cash provided by investing activities of $197.8$523.0 million during the same period in 2018.2019. The increasedecrease was primarily related to an increase of $487.6 milliona decrease in netcash proceeds from the dispositiondispositions of real estate investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018,and joint ventures of $535.8 million, offset by a decreasean increase in proceeds from the dispositioninvestments in real estate assets of discontinued operations of $123.9$44.4 million.
Financing Activities Net cash used in financing activities of $63.2$72.9 million decreased $579.6$619.6 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 from $642.8$692.5 million during the same period in 2018.2019. The decrease was primarily relateddue to $929.0 million of proceeds received from the issuance of Common Stock in 2019, offset by the repayment$600.0 million of the 2019 Senior Notes of $750.0 million in 2019, a decrease of $111.0 million in net borrowings onduring the Credit Facility from 2018 to 2019 and the redemption of $100.1 million of Series F Preferred Stock in 2019. The decrease is also due to the repayment of convertible notes of $597.5 million in 2018.six months ended June 30, 2020.
Election as a REIT
The General Partner elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011. As a REIT, except as discussed below, the General Partner generally is not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that it distributes to its stockholders so long as it distributes at least 90% of its annual taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains). REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if the General Partner maintains its qualification for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, federal income taxes on certain income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. We believe we are organized and operating in such a manner as to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for the taxable year ended December 31, 2019.2020.
The Operating Partnership is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Operating Partnership is not a taxable entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Instead, each partner in the Operating Partnership is required to take into account its allocable share of the Operating Partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions and credits for each taxable year. However, the Operating Partnership may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property.

Table of Contents

Under the LPA,limited partnership agreement of the OP, as amended (the “LPA”), the Operating Partnership is required to conduct business in such a manner as to permit the General Partner at all times to qualify as a REIT.
As discussed in Note 13 —Discontinued Operations, on February 1, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its investment management segment, Cole Capital. The Company conducted substantially all of the Cole Capital business activities through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). A TRS is a subsidiary of a REIT that is subject to corporate federal, state and local income taxes, as applicable. The Company’s use of a TRS enables it to engage in certain business activities while complying with the REIT qualification requirements and to retain any income generated by these businesses for reinvestment without the requirement to distribute those earnings.
The Company conducts all of its business in the United States and Puerto Rico and, as a result, it files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Puerto Rico, and various state and local jurisdictions. Certain of the Company’s inter-company transactions that have been eliminated in consolidation for financial accounting purposes are also subject to taxation.
Inflation
We may be adversely impacted by inflation on any leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions. However, net leases that require the tenant to pay its allocable share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance, may reduce our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Related Party Transactions and Agreements
Through the closing of the Cole Capital sale, we were contractually responsible for managing the Cole REITs’ affairs on a day-to-day basis, identifying and making acquisitions and investments on the Cole REITs’ behalf, and recommending to each of the Cole REIT’s respective board of directors an approach for providing investors with liquidity. In addition, we distributed the shares of common stock for certain of the Cole REITs and advised them regarding offerings, managed relationships with participating broker-dealers and financial advisors, and provided assistance in connection with compliance matters relating to the offerings. We received compensation and reimbursement for services relating to the Cole REITs’ offerings and the investment, management and disposition of their respective assets, as applicable. See Note 14 –Related Party Transactions and Arrangements to our consolidated financial statements in this report for a further explanation of the various related party transactions, agreements and fees.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Accounting Estimates
Our accounting policies have been established to conform with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management believes that we have made these estimates and assumptions in an appropriate manner and in a way that accurately reflects our financial condition. We continually test and evaluate these estimates and assumptions using our historical knowledge of the business, as well as other factors, to ensure that they are reasonable for reporting purposes. However, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to the various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. We believe the following critical accounting policies govern the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of our accounting policies and procedures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market Risk
The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk relating to variable-rate borrowings. To meet our short and long-term liquidity requirements, we borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to manage our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, caps, collars, treasury locks, options and treasury lock agreementsforwards in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We would not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our debt included fixed-rate debt, including debt that has interest rates that are fixed with the use of derivative instruments, with a fair value and carrying value of $5.9$6.2 billion and $5.7$6.0 billion, respectively. Changes in market interest rates on our fixed rate debt impact the fair value of the debt, but they have no impact on interest incurred or cash flow. For instance, if interest rates rise 100 basis points, and the fixed rate debt balance remains constant, we expect the fair value of our debt to decrease, the same way the price of a bond declines as interest rates rise. The sensitivity analysis related to our fixed-rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of our fixed rate debt of $154.2$231.2 million. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in an increase in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt of $243.6$247.0 million.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our debt included variable-rate debt with a fair value and carrying value of $13.9$15.3 million and $13.8 $15.2

million, respectively. The sensitivity analysis related to our variable-rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in variable interest rates on our variable-rate debt would increase or decrease our interest expense by $0.1$0.2 million annually. See Note 6 – Debt to our consolidated financial statements.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our interest rate swaps had a fair value that resulted in liabilities of $48.0$106.5 million. See Note 7 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
As the information presented above includes only those exposures that existed as of September��June 30, 2019,2020, it does not consider exposures or positions arising after that date. The information presented herein has limited predictive value. Future actual realized gains or losses with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on cumulative exposures, hedging strategies employed and the magnitude of the fluctuations.
These amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rate changes on our borrowing costs and assume no other changes in our capital structure.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The Company is not able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) markets. The Company has contracts that are indexed to LIBOR and is monitoring and evaluating the related risks, which include interest amounts on our variable rate debt as discussed in Note 6 –Debt and the swap rate for our interest rate swaps, as discussed in Note 7 –Derivatives and Hedging Activities. See Item 1A. Risk Factors included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion on risks related to changes in LIBOR reporting practices, the method in which LIBOR is determined, or the use of alternative reference rates.
Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company is subject to tenant, geographic and industry concentrations. Any downturn of the economic conditions in one or more of these tenants, geographies or industries could result in a material reduction of our cash flows or material losses to us.
The factors considered in determining the credit risk of our tenants include, but are not limited to: payment history; credit status and change in status (credit ratings for public companies are used as a primary metric); change in tenant space needs (i.e., expansion/downsize); tenant financial performance; economic conditions in a specific geographic region; and industry specific credit considerations. We believe that the credit risk of our portfolio is reduced by the high quality of our existing tenant base, reviews of prospective tenants’ risk profiles prior to lease execution and consistent monitoring of our portfolio to identify potential problem tenants. However, we continue to monitor this in light of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) that regulates LIBOR announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. The Company is not able to predict when

68

Table of Contents

LIBOR will cease to be published or precisely how SOFR will be calculated and published. Any changes adopted by FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.
The Company has contracts that are indexed to LIBOR and is monitoring and evaluating the related risks, which include interest amounts on the majority of our variable rate debt as discussed in Note 6 –Debt and the swap rate for the majority of our interest rate swaps, as discussed in Note 7 –Derivatives and Hedging Activities. In the event that LIBOR is discontinued, the interest rates will be based on an alternative variable rate as specified in the applicable documentation governing such debt or swaps or as otherwise agreed upon. Such an event would not affect the Company's ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings or swaps, but the alternative variable rate could be higher and more volatile than LIBOR prior to its discontinuance. Certain risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to a new alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued. For some instruments, the method of transitioning to an alternative rate may be challenging, as they may require negotiation with the respective counterparty.
If a contract is not transitioned to an alternative rate and LIBOR is discontinued, the impact is likely to vary by contract. If LIBOR is discontinued or if the method of calculating LIBOR changes from its current form, interest rates on our current or future indebtedness may be adversely affected.
While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until the end of 2021, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.Factors.
There have been no material changes fromThe Company is supplementing the risk factors set forthpreviously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. 2019 with the following risk factor, which should be read in conjunction with the other risk factors presented in the Annual Report on Form 10-K:

The ongoing pandemic of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has negatively affected and will likely continue to negatively affect our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations and those of our tenants.
The current COVID-19 pandemic has had, and likely will continue to have, repercussions across local, national and global economies and financial markets. COVID-19 has impacted all states where our tenants operate their businesses or where our properties are located and measures taken to control the COVID-19 outbreak, including “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders, density limitations and social distancing orders, and other mandates issued by local, state or federal authorities, have had and are continuing to have an adverse effect on our business and the businesses of our tenants. The full extent of the adverse impact on our results of operations, liquidity (including our ability to access capital markets), and our ability to acquire, dispose of, or lease properties for our portfolio, our joint venture partners portfolios and/or for the tenant-in-common and Delaware statutory trust real estate programs’ properties that we manage is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Our results of operations, liquidity and cash flows could be materially affected.
Many of our tenants operate in industries that depend on in-person interactions with their customers to be profitable and to fund their obligations under lease agreements with us. Measures taken to control the COVID-19 outbreak, including “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders, density limitations and social distancing orders, and other mandates have, with respect to some portion of our tenants, (i) decreased or prevented our tenants’ customers’ willingness or ability to frequent their businesses, and/or (ii) impacted supply chains from local, national and international suppliers or otherwise delayed the delivery of inventory or other materials necessary for our tenants’ operations, which has adversely affected, and is likely to continue to adversely affect, their ability to maintain profitability and make rental payments to us under their leases. Further, places that have seen increased cases of COVID-19 have reinstituted and/or may in the future reinstitute measures to control and decrease the spread of COVID-19, which may prolong the adverse effect on our business and/or the business of our tenants. In light of the spread of COVID-19 and the resulting economic downturn, tenants have and may in the future, request rent deferrals, rent abatement or early termination of their leases as well as may be forced to temporarily or permanently close or declare bankruptcy which could reduce our cash flows and negatively affect our ability to pay dividends at current levels or at all. Specifically, as a result of COVID-19 and various governmental orders currently in place or reinstituted, a number of our tenants have closed their businesses, are operating with limited operations and/or have submitted requests for rent relief or failed to pay rent. While the Company has worked with tenants requesting rent relief, there can be no guarantee that future rent collections will be received at the same level as historical rent collections. In addition, state, local or industry-initiated efforts, such as tenant rent freezes or suspension of a landlord’s ability to enforce evictions, may continue to affect our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent. We believe our tenants generally do not have a clear contractual right to cease paying rent due to government-mandated closures and we intend to enforce our rights under the lease agreements. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the related governmental orders continue to present novel situations for which the ultimate legal outcome cannot be assured and it is possible future governmental action could impact our rights under the lease agreements. The extent of tenant requests and actions and the impact to the Company’s results of operations and cash flows is uncertain and cannot be predicted.
The spread of COVID-19 has caused and is continuing to cause significant financial market volatility and an economic downturn, and the length and extent of such volatility and downturn are unknown and cannot be predicted with any certainty. The financial impact of COVID-19 could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity and cash flows, in particular due to the potential (i) inability of our tenants to satisfy their rent obligations, (ii) inability of the Company to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-let space as leases expire on favorable terms, or at all, and (iii) difficulty for the Company accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all. The effect of COVID-19 may also negatively impact our future compliance with financial covenants in our credit facility, indentures governing our senior notes and other debt agreements and result in a

default and acceleration of indebtedness which could negatively impact our ability to make additional borrowings under our credit facility. The financial impact of COVID-19 could also negatively affect our ability to pay dividends or fund acquisitions.
As a result of COVID-19, the Company implemented and is continuing its work-from-home policy to protect its employees. The COVID-19 pandemic and other epidemics, pandemics or other public health crises in the future may also impact the continued service and availability of our personnel, including our executive officers, and our ability to recruit, attract and retain skilled personnel. Operationally, although we have implemented a work-from-home policy, if significant portions of our workforce, including key personnel, are unable to work effectively because of illness, government actions or other restrictions implemented or reinstituted in connection with COVID-19, the impact on our business could be exacerbated.
The full extent of the adverse impact of COVID-19 on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations cannot be predicted and may be material. The magnitude will depend on factors beyond our control including actions taken by local, state, federal and international governments, non-governmental organizations, the medical community, our tenants, and the public in general. Moreover, risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and filed with the SEC on February 26, 2020 could be heightened as a result of the impact of COVID-19 or any other public health crisis.
