Thomas H.

Our acquisitions during the period included 110 properties with an investment value of $165 million and an initial cash yield of 7.61%. We successfully deployed capital raised during the quarter to retire $391 million of high coupon mortgage debt and increased our credit facility borrowing capacity by $200 million to $800 million. Finally, we achieved investment grade ratings from S&P and Fitch."
"We are also pleased with the addition of two new executive officers to our team, Jackson Hsieh as President and Chief Operating Officer and Boyd Messmann as Executive Vice President and Chief Acquisitions Officer. Together these two executives bring over 50 years of invaluable real estate industry experience to Spirit. With these two key additions, Spirit is poised to build upon its leadership position in the triple net sector as it seeks to build additional long-term shareholder value."

2016 Guidance
The Company is adjusting its 2016 AFFO guidance range from $0.88 to $0.91 to $0.87 to $0.89 per diluted share. The updated guidance range in particular takes into account the year to date net disposition activity, the timing of the full deployment of the Company's April follow-on equity offering, and excludes any future Haggen stipulated damages claim proceeds that may be received. 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 on debt extinguishment, impairments and other items that are outside the control of the Company.
