| Organization | Organization Company Organization and Operations The Company operates as a self-administered and self-managed REIT that seeks to generate and deliver sustainable and attractive returns for stockholders by investing primarily in and managing a portfolio of single-tenant, operationally essential real estate throughout the U.S. that is generally leased on a long-term, triple-net basis to tenants operating within predominantly retail, but also office and industrial property types. Single tenant, operationally essential real estate generally refers to free-standing, commercial real estate facilities where tenants conduct activities that are essential to the generation of their sales and profits. The Company’s operations are generally carried out through the Operating Partnership. OP Holdings, one of the Corporation's wholly-owned subsidiaries, is the sole general partner and owns 1.0% of the Operating Partnership. The Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary are the only limited partners and together own the remaining 99.0% of the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2016, our undepreciated investment in real estate and loans totaled approximately $8.39 billion, representing investments in 2,705 properties, including properties or other related assets securing mortgage loans made by the Company. Of this amount, 99.2% consisted of our $8.32 billion investment in real estate, representing ownership of 2,630 properties, and the remaining 0.8% consisted of $69.2 million in commercial mortgage and other loans receivable, primarily secured by the remaining 75 properties or other related assets. |
