Funding Arrangement Will Advance Realty Income’s Private Capital Initiative with Leading Asset Manager

Initial Apollo Investment of $1.0 Billion for 49% Equity Interest in Portfolio of Existing U.S. Realty Income Retail Assets

Cost-Efficient Long-Term Equity with 100% Permanent Equity Treatment by Rating Agencies

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, and NEW YORK, NEW YORK, March 19, 2026 – Realty Income Corporation (Realty Income, NYSE: O), The Monthly Dividend Company®, and Apollo (NYSE: APO) today announced that Apollo-managed funds and affiliates intend to provide a $1.0 billion investment to Realty Income to acquire a 49% interest in a new joint venture entity that is expected to own a diversified portfolio of single-tenant retail properties subject to long-term net leases. Realty Income will continue to manage the portfolio, which includes approximately 500 retail assets that benefit from stable, contractual cash flows and are supported by Realty Income’s operating platform and long-standing asset management expertise.

“We are pleased to announce Apollo’s targeted equity investment in a highly diversified, income-producing portfolio. As real estate partner to the world’s leading companies®, we expect this partnership will serve as a template for a multi-billion-dollar, programmatic co-investing relationship in the U.S. Our size, scale, and longstanding commitment to providing dependable monthly dividends to investors make this a natural fit with Apollo’s insurance capital. Realty Income has demonstrated the ability to attract scaled commitments from partners looking to invest in our operating platform, and this new joint venture will further expand our access to efficient sources of private funding from one of the world’s leading financial institutions,” said Sumit Roy, Realty Income’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

Apollo Partner Jamshid Ehsani said, “This transaction represents a landmark deal in the public REIT space. We believe the combination of Apollo’s long-term capital with Realty Income’s large, growing and diversified portfolio of high-quality net lease assets creates a highly complementary partnership. This partnership with Realty Income represents a programmatic framework for long-term alignment and repeatable capital deployment over time.”

The joint venture represents a cornerstone component of Realty Income’s private capital initiative, which is designed to diversify the Company’s sources of capital and complement its access to the public equity markets. Realty Income expects the long-term partnership with Apollo to provide a scalable source of equity to support investment activity in long-duration, stabilized assets, while maintaining balance sheet strength and financial flexibility.

Realty Income CFO Jonathan Pong said, “This structured equity funding arrangement with Apollo is expected to unlock a source of meaningful savings relative to our long-term cost of public equity capital. Further, the cost of future tranches of this capital is expected to flex commensurate with long-term interest rates and will be priced independent of public markets, supporting a more stable source of equity. We are pleased that this structure has received permanent equity treatment by both Moody’s and S&P.”

Apollo Partner Joseph Jackson commented, “Realty Income is a leading global net lease real estate player with a long track record of disciplined growth and portfolio performance. Apollo’s intention to make a substantial upfront and anticipated follow-on investments into Realty Income’s high-quality assets demonstrates our ability to deliver differentiated capital solutions tailored to our partner’s objectives.”

Since 2020, Apollo has originated over $100 billion of bespoke capital solutions for leading companies such as Intel, Keurig Dr Pepper, Air France-KLM, BP, Sony, AB InBev, Vonovia and more.

The transaction is expected to close on March 31, 2026, subject to finalization and execution of the documentation, and customary closing conditions.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC acted as exclusive structuring agent and financial advisor to Realty Income, and Wells Fargo Securities served as financial advisor to Apollo.

New York, NY – March 18^th, 2026 — TheGuarantors, the leader in residential lease guarantee solutions and AI-powered underwriting for the rental housing market, today announced a majority investment from Warburg Pincus, the pioneer of global growth investing. The investment will allow the company to scale, broaden access to housing for millions of renters, and continue building a market‑leading platform with long‑term impact across the U.S. rental ecosystem.

TheGuarantors will continue to operate under its existing leadership team and is excited to partner with Warburg Pincus on its next chapter as it looks to further accelerate platform expansion, advance data and AI capabilities, and deepen partnerships with property owners and managers nationwide.

TheGuarantors has pioneered lease guarantee solutions that enable renters to qualify for homes while protecting property owners against default risk. Today, the platform supports a footprint of over 3.5 million rental units across many of the largest institutional property management companies in the United States and has protected more than $6 billion in lease value. The company’s products are supported by a panel of premier carriers and reinsurers, enabling scalable and resilient insurance capacity. Through its proprietary automated underwriting engine, TheGuarantors leverages advanced machine learning, cash-flow analytics, and alternative data to render real-time risk decisions in under 10 seconds, delivering scalable coverage infrastructure embedded directly into leasing workflows.

The investment comes at a time of growing complexity across the multifamily housing sector. Renters are facing heightened financial pressure driven by affordability constraints, elevated costs of living, and tighter income and credit conditions, making qualification increasingly difficult despite strong demand for rental housing, with over 20% of renter households not qualifying on the first attempt. At the same time, property owners and operators are navigating rising operating expenses, insurance costs, and capital market headwinds that are placing pressure on net operating income. In this environment, solutions that expand renter accessibility while protecting asset performance and cash flow have become increasingly critical infrastructure for the industry.

Julien Bonneville, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of TheGuarantors, said:

“This investment represents a defining moment for TheGuarantors. From day one, our vision has been to build the risk infrastructure layer for residential renting, removing friction from the leasing process while expanding access for millions of renters, empowering them to qualify for the home they want. Warburg Pincus brings deep experience scaling fintech and insurance platforms globally. With their partnership, we will accelerate innovation in AI underwriting, expand our platform capabilities, and continue delivering best-in-class outcomes for both renters and property managers and owners.”

Jeff Stein, Managing Director, Head of U.S. Financial Services at Warburg Pincus, said:

“TheGuarantors has built the category-defining platform in residential lease guarantees. The company’s combination of proprietary data, AI-driven underwriting, and deep integrations with leading property managers creates a powerful value proposition for both tenants and landlords. We see substantial opportunity to scale the platform further as institutional ownership of rental housing grows and demand rises for smarter, technology-enabled risk solutions. We are excited to partner with Julien, Leo, and the entire management team as they accelerate growth and expand the company’s impact across the U.S. rental ecosystem.”

The transaction is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Evercore acted as financial advisor to TheGuarantors. Cooley LLP acted as legal advisor to TheGuarantors. Howden Capital Markets & Advisory LLC served as financial advisor to Warburg Pincus. Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz served as legal advisor to Warburg Pincus. Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP served as financing counsel to Warburg Pincus.
