What is the main purpose of this 8-K filing?

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to officially report and disseminate Realty Income Corporation's financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2020, along with providing supplemental financial data.

Where can I find the actual financial results?

The specific financial results are detailed in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 and in the Supplemental Operating and Financial Data attached as Exhibit 99.2. Both exhibits were made available on Realty Income's website on February 22, 2021.

Does this filing provide updated guidance or outlook for the future?

This 8-K primarily reports on historical financial performance for the period ending December 31, 2020. Any forward-looking guidance or outlook would typically be found within the content of the press release (Exhibit 99.1) or the supplemental data (Exhibit 99.2), which investors should review.

Why is the information "furnished" and not "filed"?

When information is "furnished" under Item 2.02 or 7.01, it means the company is providing the information to the public but is not subject to the same liability as if it were "filed" under Section 18 of the Exchange Act. This also means it does not automatically get incorporated by reference into other SEC filings unless the company explicitly chooses to do so.
