History
Realty Income Corporation was founded in 1969 by William E. Clark and Evelyn J. Clark.[3] Its first acquisition was a Taco Bell restaurant in early 1970.[3]
The company used cash to purchase land needed for stores that required real estate to run, and then leased the property to the stores long term.[4]
In 1994, the company became a public company via an initial public offering.[1]
In 1997, William E. Clark, Jr., retired as CEO and was succeeded by Thomas A. Lewis. In 2013, John P. Case succeeded Mr. Lewis as CEO of the company.[5] In 2009, Clark retired as chairman.[6]
In 2013, the company acquired American Realty Capital Trust, founded by Nicholas Schorsch, in a $2.95 billion transaction.[7][8]
In 2015, the company was added to the S&P 500 Index[9] and the S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats index.[10]
In 2018, Sumit Roy became the company's CEO.[11]
In 2019, the company completed a sale-leaseback transaction for 12 properties of the United Kingdom supermarket chain Sainsbury's. This was the company's first purchase of property outside the United States.[12]
