(the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation formed on September 29, 2004, that has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. On January 22, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended by the First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 8, 2013 (the “Merger Agreement”) with Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. (“Spirit”), a publicly-listed REIT. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on July 17, 2013, Spirit merged with and into the Company, (the “Merger”), at which time Spirit ceased to exist, the Company continued as the surviving corporation and the Company changed its name to Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. Pursuant to the Merger, Spirit stockholders received 1.9048 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Spirit common stock they owned (which equated to an inverse exchange ratio of 0.525 shares of Spirit common stock for each share of the Company’s common stock). On July 18, 2013, the surviving corporation commenced trading on the NYSE under Spirit’s existing ticker “SRC”. A summary of the significant events that took place in connection with the consummation of the Merger is provided in Note 14 to these condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements. </div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;"> Prior to the Merger, substantially all of the Company’s business was conducted through Cole Operating Partnership II, LP (“Cole OP II”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company was the sole general partner of and owned a 99.99% partnership interest in Cole OP II. Cole REIT Advisors II, LLC (“Cole Advisors II”), the former advisor to the Company, was the sole limited partner and owner of an insignificant noncontrolling partnership interest of less than 0.01% of Cole OP II. Cole Advisors II is indirectly owned by Cole Real Estate Investments, Inc. (“Cole”, formerly known as “Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc.”) as a result of Cole acquiring Cole Holdings Corporation (“CHC”) on April 5, 2013 pursuant to a transaction whereby CHC merged with and into CREInvestments, LLC (“CREI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cole. As a result of such merger, the Company’s advisor and dealer manager were wholly-owned by CREI until the Merger.  </div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;">As of June 30, 2013, the Company owned 747 properties comprising 21.1 million rentable square feet of single and multi-tenant retail and commercial space located in 45 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. As of June 30, 2013, the rentable space at these properties was 96% leased. As of June 30, 2013, the Company also owned 69 mortgage notes receivable secured by 43 restaurant properties and 26 single-tenant retail properties, each of which is subject to a net lease. </div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;">The Company ceased offering shares of common stock in its initial primary offering (the “Initial Offering”) on May 22, 2007, and ceased offering shares of common stock in its follow-on offering (the “Follow-on Offering”) on January 2, 2009. The Company continued to issue shares of common stock under its distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP Offering”, and collectively with the Initial Offering and the Follow-on Offering, the “Offerings”) until December 6, 2012, when the board of directors, including all of its independent directors, voted to suspend the DRIP Offering and the Company’s share redemption program.</div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;">As of June 30, 2013, the Company had issued approximately 231.2 million shares of common stock in the Offerings for aggregate gross proceeds of $2.3 billion (including proceeds from the issuance of shares pursuant to the DRIP Offering of $261.3 million), before share redemptions of $206.2 million.
