Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 6, 2013, Realty Income Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the Company), entered into an amendment (the
Amendment) to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 6, 2012 (the Merger Agreement), with Tau Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
(Merger Sub), and American Realty Capital Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (ARCT), pursuant to which ARCT would merge with and into Merger Sub (the Merger). The Amendment adds a cash portion to the merger
consideration such that, upon the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of ARCT will be converted into the right to receive 0.2874 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company plus $0.35 per
share in cash. Other than amendments to the Merger Agreement related to the addition of the cash portion of the merger consideration, the Company and ARCT did not amend the Merger Agreement in any other respect.
In connection with the Amendment, AR Capital, LLC (ARC) and Nicholas S. Schorsch, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of
ARCT (Schorsch), agreed to contribute $3,000,000 towards the increase in the merger consideration described above. Accordingly, concurrently with the execution of the Amendment, the Company entered into an amendment to that certain side
letter agreement dated as of September 6, 2012 (the Side Letter), with Schorsch and ARC, which amendment lowered the threshold on transaction expenses of ARCT for which Schorsch and ARC would be required to reimburse the Company.
A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and a copy of the amendment to the Side Letter is attached hereto
as Exhibit 99.1. The foregoing descriptions of the Amendment and the amendment to the Side Letter do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such amendments. For further information see the
joint press release dated January 7, 2013 included as exhibit 99.2 hereto.

the customers of the respective parties. Additional factors that may affect future results are contained in the Companys and ARCTs filings with the SEC, which are available at the SECs website at www.sec.gov. The Company and ARCT
