DIVIDEND

For the second quarter of 2022, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.638 per share of common stock, representing an annualized rate of $2.552 per share. The Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.375 per preferred share. The quarterly common dividend was paid on July 15, 2022 to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2022, and the preferred dividend was paid on June 30, 2022 to stockholders of record as of June 15, 2022.

2022 GUIDANCE

The Company maintained its previously announced guidance for fiscal year 2022:

• AFFO per share of $3.52 to $3.58
• Capital deployment of approximately $1.5 billion (comprised of acquisitions and revenue producing capital expenditures)
• Dispositions of approximately $200 million to $300 million

The Company does not provide a reconciliation for its guidance range of AFFO per diluted share to net income available to common stockholders per diluted share, the most directly comparable forward looking GAAP financial measure, due to the inherent variability in timing and/or amount of various items that could impact net income available to common stockholders per diluted share, including, for example, gains/losses on debt extinguishment, impairments and other items that are outside the control of the Company.
