Realty Income and KKR Form €528M European Net Lease Joint Venture
O is trading near its 52-week low of $55.86 (7.5% above the low).
Summary
Realty Income is selling a 49% stake in a portfolio of 54 European net lease properties to KKR for €528 million, retaining 51% ownership and management. The deal values the portfolio at a 5.9% cap rate after fees and is expected to close September 30. This extends Realty Income's private capital strategy into Europe, following its June U.S. joint venture with Cloud Capital. The transaction provides permanent equity capital and diversifies funding sources, with KKR's investment underscoring institutional confidence in the platform. The call option structure caps KKR's IRR at 6.3-6.5%, limiting long-term dilution for Realty Income shareholders.
