How much capacity does Realty Income now have under its revolving credit facilities?

Total capacity is $5.5 billion, up from $4.0 billion, split into two $2.75 billion tranches. The accordion feature can raise total capacity to $6.5 billion if lenders commit additional amounts.

When do the new credit facilities mature?

The two tranches initially mature on April 29, 2029 and July 10, 2030. Each facility has two six-month extension options exercisable at the company's option under the agreement's terms.

Did borrowing costs go down?

Yes. Based on current investment-grade ratings, the applicable margin is 0.675% and the commitment fee is 0.125%. Management states that all-in drawn pricing is 80 basis points over SOFR, a 5.0 basis point reduction from the prior facilities.

Why did the company increase its commercial paper programs?

The U.S. and Euro CP programs each rose to $2.75 billion from $1.5 billion, giving a combined $5.5 billion of short-term funding capacity. Proceeds are for general corporate purposes, and the revolver backstops CP repayments. The filing does not state the specific use of the additional capacity.

Does this filing change the company's debt levels or leverage?

The filing does not say. It reports committed capacity, not amounts drawn or outstanding. Investors should review the company's 10-Q and the full credit agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for borrowing balances, covenant terms, and leverage metrics.

Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed July 13, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

Realty Income (NYSE: O) closed on July 10, 2026 a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that recasts and upsizes its unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facilities to $5.5 billion^a, up from $4.0 billion.

The facilities consist of two $2.75 billion^b tranches maturing April 29, 2029 and July 10, 2030, each with two six-month extension options, and an accordion feature that can take total capacity to $6.5 billion subject to lender commitments. The UK (RI UK Finance Ltd.) and Netherlands (Realty Income Euro Finance B.V.) subsidiaries were added as joint borrowers alongside the parent. Pricing improved.

The applicable margin is 0.675% over benchmark rates (SOFR, SONIA, or EURIBOR depending on currency) and the commitment fee is 0.125%, reflecting the company's current A3/A- ratings. Management says this is a 5.0 basis point reduction in all-in drawn pricing versus the prior facilities. The company also raised the maximum outstanding amounts under its U.S. and Euro commercial paper programs from $1.5 billion each to $2.75 billion^c each, for a combined $5.5 billion.

The revolver is intended to serve as a liquidity backstop for CP repayments, and CP maturities are capped at 360 days (U.S.) and 183 days (Euro). For investors, the filing is primarily a liquidity and cost-of-capital update rather than a change in operations or leverage.

Added capacity and lower pricing improve financial flexibility for funding acquisitions and refinancing, and the expanded CP programs give the company cheaper short-term funding options. The filing does not disclose drawn balances, covenant levels, or the effect on leverage, so investors should check the 10-Q and the full credit agreement for those details.
