Realty Income has announced plans to acquire 454 single-tenant retail properties from CIM Real Estate Finance Trust. The deal is valued at $1.25 billion and is an all-cash transaction.

The portfolio has a remaining lease term of 9.7 years and generates 58% of total rental revenue from investment-grade rated companies or their subsidiaries.

Upon completion of the transaction, Realty Income will assume existing mortgage debt totaling approximately $131 million at a weighted average interest rate of 4.5% and a weighted average remaining term to maturity of 5.3 years.
