Notes to Orion Office REIT Inc. Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Organization
Organization
Orion Office REIT Inc. (the “Company”, “Orion”, “we” or “us”) is an internally managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) engaged in the ownership, acquisition, and management of a diversified portfolio of office buildings located in high-quality suburban markets across the U.S. and leased primarily on a single-tenant net lease basis to creditworthy tenants. Our portfolio is comprised of traditional office buildings, as well as governmental office, medical office, flex/laboratory and R&D and flex/industrial properties.
The Company was initially formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Realty Income Corporation (“Realty Income”). Following completion of the merger transaction involving Realty Income and VEREIT, Inc. (“VEREIT”) on November 1, 2021, Realty Income contributed the combined business comprising certain office real properties and related assets previously owned by subsidiaries of Realty Income, and certain office real properties and related assets previously owned by subsidiaries of VEREIT (the “Separation”), to the Company and its operating partnership, Orion Office REIT LP (“Orion OP”), and on November 12, 2021, effected a special distribution to its stockholders of all the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Distribution”).
Following the Distribution, the Company became independent and publicly traded and its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, trades on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “ONL” and has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with its initial taxable year ended December 31, 2021.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company owned and operated 75 office properties with an aggregate of 8.7 million leasable square feet located in 29 states. In addition, the Company owns an equity interest in OAP/VER Venture, LLC (the “Arch Street Joint Venture”), an unconsolidated joint venture with an affiliate of Arch Street Capital Partners, LLC (“Arch Street Capital Partners”). As of March 31, 2024, the Arch Street Joint Venture owned a portfolio consisting ofsix office properties totaling approximately 1.0 million leasable square feet located withinsix states.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated statements of the Company presented herein include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are considered to be of a normal, recurring nature.
The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024. Information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and U.S. GAAP.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and a consolidated joint venture. The portion of the consolidated joint venture not owned by the Company is presented as non-controlling interest in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income (loss) and statements of equity.
For legal entities being evaluated for consolidation, the Company must first determine whether the interests that it holds and fees it receives qualify as variable interests in the entity. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns. The Company’s evaluation includes consideration of fees paid to the Company where the Company acts as a decision maker or service provider to the entity being evaluated. If the Company determines that it holds a variable interest in an entity, it evaluates whether that entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). VIEs are entities where investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or where equity investors, as a group, lack one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity; or (c) the right to receive the expected returns of the entity. The Company consolidates entities that are not VIEs if it has a majority voting interest or other rights that result in effectively controlling the entity.
The Company then qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE, which is generally defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. Consideration of various factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and its obligation to absorb losses from or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company continually evaluates the need to consolidate VIEs based on standards set forth in U.S. GAAP.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes significant estimates regarding real estate investment impairments.
Revenue Recognition
Rental Revenue
For operating leases with minimum scheduled rent increases, the Company recognizes rental revenue on a straight-line basis, including the effect of any free rent periods, over the lease term when collectability of lease payments is probable. Variable lease payments are recognized as rental revenue in the period when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur.
Certain of the Company’s leases also contain provisions for tenants to reimburse the Company for real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance and other property operating expenses. Such reimbursements are included in rental revenue on a gross basis. Property operating expenses paid directly by tenants are recorded on a net basis (i.e., treated as fully offset by an identical amount of assumed reimbursement revenue) and, therefore, are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company continually reviews receivables related to rent, straight-line rent and property operating expense reimbursements and determines collectability by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. The review includes a binary assessment of whether or not substantially all of the amounts due under a tenant’s lease agreement are probable of collection. For leases that are deemed probable of collection, revenue continues to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases that are deemed not probable of collection, revenue is recorded as cash is received and the Company reduces rental revenue for any straight-line rent receivables. The Company recognizes all changes in the collectability assessment for an operating lease as an adjustment to rental revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a reduction to rental revenue of less than $0.1 million for income not probable of collection. Periodically the Company receives reimbursement for certain end of lease obligations or reimbursements from previous tenants that are recognized on a cash basis or when the amounts are definitively agreed upon. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $2.7 million of such reimbursements. No such amounts were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Rental revenue also includes lease termination income collected from tenants to allow for the tenants to settle their lease obligations and/or to vacate their space prior to their scheduled termination dates, as well as amortization of above and below-market leases and lease incentives. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $1.6 million of lease termination income.
Fee Income from Unconsolidated Joint Venture
The Company provides various services to the Arch Street Joint Venture in exchange for market-based fees. Total asset and property management fees earned in connection with this entity was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts, as well as investments in highly-liquid funds with original maturities of three months or less. The Company deposits cash with high quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to an insurance limit of $250,000. At times, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents may exceed federally insured levels. Although the Company bears risk on amounts in excess of those insured by the FDIC, it has not experienced and does not anticipate any losses due to the high quality of the institutions where the deposits are held.
Restricted Cash
The Company had $35.0 million and $34.7 million in restricted cash as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, primarily comprised of reserves held by the lender under the CMBS Loan (as defined in Note 6 – Debt, Net) for future rent concessions and tenant improvement allowances. Restricted cash is included in other assets, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280, Segment Reporting). ASU 2023-07 serves to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures, on both an annual and interim basis, about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of profit or loss, other segment items and a description of its composition by reportable segment, the title and position of the CODM, and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-07 on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740, Income Taxes). ASU 2023-09 serves to enhance transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and information on income taxes paid. The update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not currently anticipate the guidance under ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture
The following is a summary of the Company’s investment in the Arch Street Joint Venture, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in thousands):
| Ownership % (1) · Number of Properties · Carrying Value of Investment · Equity in Loss, Net | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Three Months Ended | ||||||
| Investment · March 31, 2024 · March 31, 2024 · December 31, 2023 · March 31, 2024 · March 31, 2023 | ||||||
| Arch Street Joint Venture (2) (3) | 20% | 6 | $12,972 | 13,549 | $(116) | (123) |
(1)The Company’s ownership interest reflects its legal ownership interest. The Company’s legal ownership interest may, at times, not equal the Company’s economic interest because of various provisions in the joint venture agreement regarding capital contributions, distributions of cash flow based on capital account balances and allocations of profits and losses. As a result, the Company’s actual economic interest (as distinct from its legal ownership interest) in certain of the properties could fluctuate from time to time and may not wholly align with its legal ownership interest.
(2)During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Arch Street Joint Venture didnot acquire any properties.
(3)The total carrying value of the Company’s investment in the Arch Street Joint Venture was greater than the underlying equity in net assets by $0.3 million and $0.4 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. This difference is related to a step up in the fair value of the investment in the Arch Street Joint Venture in connection with the Separation and the Distribution. The step up in fair value was allocated based on the underlying assets and liabilities of the Arch Street Joint Venture and is being amortized over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets and liabilities in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies.
The non-recourse mortgage notes associated with the Arch Street Joint Venture of $136.7 million as of March 31, 2024 are scheduled to mature on November 27, 2024, and the Arch Street Joint Venture hastwo successiveone-year options to extend the maturity until November 27, 2026. The extension options are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including satisfaction of certain financial and operating covenants. The Arch Street Joint Venture may be unable to satisfy the extension conditions, and is also evaluating alternatives to refinance this obligation. The Company cannot provide any assurance the Arch Street Joint Venture will be able to satisfy the extension conditions or otherwise extend or refinance the loan. If the Arch Street Joint Venture is unable to extend or refinance the mortgage notes, the Company’s investment in the Arch Street Joint Venture could be materially adversely affected.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measures
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those instruments fall (in thousands):
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Balance as of March 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Derivative liabilities | $— | $45 | $— | $45 |
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Balance as of December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Derivative liabilities | $— | $264 | $— | $264 |
Derivative Liabilities– The Company’s derivative financial instruments comprise interest rate collar agreements entered into in order to hedge interest rate volatility with respect to the Company’s borrowings with an aggregate notional amount of $60.0 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (as described in Note 6 – Debt, Net). The valuation of derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company’s potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the counterparties.
Although the Company determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with those derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivatives. As a result, the Company determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment.
Real Estate and Other Investments– The Company performs quarterly impairment review procedures for real estate investments, right of use assets and its investment in the Arch Street Joint Venture, primarily through continuous monitoring of events and changes in circumstances that could indicate the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.
As part of the Company’s impairment review procedures, net real estate assets representingtwo andthree properties were deemed to be impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, resulting in impairment charges of $19.7 million and $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The impairment charges reflect changes in the Company’s future cash flow assumptions for agreed-upon or estimated sales proceeds with respect to real estate assets that were expected to be sold as well as changes to assumptions with regard to management’s intent to sell or lease the real estate assets.
The following table summarizes our provisions for impairment during the periods indicated below (dollars in thousands):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Number of properties | 2 | 3 |
| Carrying value of impaired properties | $30,060 | $28,357 |
| Provisions for impairment | (19,685) | (3,754) |
| Estimated fair value | $10,375 | $24,603 |
The Company estimates fair values using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs and uses a combined income and market approach, specifically using discounted cash flow analysis and/or recent comparable sales transactions. The evaluation of real estate assets for potential impairment requires the Company’s management to exercise significant judgment and make certain key assumptions, including the following: (1) capitalization rates; (2) discount rates; (3) number of years the property will be held; (4) property operating expenses; and (5) re-leasing assumptions including number of months to re-lease, market rental revenue and required tenant improvements. There are inherent uncertainties in making these estimates such as market conditions and performance and sustainability of the Company’s tenants.
For the Company’s impairment tests for the real estate assets during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the fair value measurement forone property was determined based on the sales price under a definitive agreement andone property was determined by a discount rate of 9.0% and capitalization rate of 8.5%. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, impairment charges of $19.7 million were recorded for held and used properties andno impairment charges were recorded for held for sale properties.
For the Company’s impairment tests for the real estate assets during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the fair value measurement for allthree impaired properties was determined by applying an estimated sales price based on market data. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, impairment charges of $3.8 million were recorded for held and used properties andno impairment charges were recorded for held for sale properties.
The following tables present certain of the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those assets fall (in thousands):
| Level 1 | Level 2 (1) | Level 3 (1) | Balance as of March 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets of properties held and used | $— | $2,100 | $8,275 | $10,375 |
| Level 1 | Level 2 (1) | Level 3 (1) | Balance as of December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets of properties held and used | $— | $— | $5,402 | $5,402 |
(1)The fair value of the level 2 category is derived using negotiated sales prices with third parties and the fair value of the level 3 category is derived using discounted cash flow analysis and management estimates of selling prices.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets due to their short-term nature. The fair values of the Company’s long-term financial instruments are reported below (dollars in thousands):
| Level | Carrying Value at March 31, 2024 | Fair Value at March 31, 2024 | Carrying Value at December 31, 2023 | Fair Value at December 31, 2023 | |

| Total | $471,045 | $447,290 | $471,264 | $451,161 | |
(1)Current and prior period liabilities’ carrying and fair values exclude net deferred financing costs.
Notes Receivable – The carrying value of the Company’s long-term promissory note receivable was determined to be at fair value based on management’s estimates of credit spreads and observable market interest rates, representing level 3 on the fair value hierarchy.
Debt – The fair value is estimated by an independent third party using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on management’s estimates of credit spreads and observable market interest rates, representing level 2 on the fair value hierarchy.
Note 6 – Debt, Net
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $469.0 million of debt outstanding, including net deferred financing costs, with a weighted-average years to maturity of 2.7 years and a weighted-average effective interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of 5.88%.

In connection with the Separation and the Distribution, on November 12, 2021, the Company, as parent, and Orion OP, as borrower, entered into (i) a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) providing for athree-year, $425.0 million senior revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), including a $25.0 million letter of credit sub-facility, and atwo-year, $175.0 million senior term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and (ii) a credit agreement (the “Bridge Credit Agreement”) providing for asix-month, $355.0 million senior bridge term loan facility (the “Bridge Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto.
In February 2022, as further described below, the Company refinanced the Bridge Facility in full with the $355.0 million CMBS Loan (defined below), and the Bridge Credit Agreement was terminated. In June 2023, as further described below, the Term Loan Facility was repaid and retired with borrowings under the Revolving Facility and, as of March 31, 2024, $116.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility.
The Company and Orion OP have entered into three amendments to the Credit Agreement. The purpose of the first amendment entered into in December 2022 was to change the benchmark rate for borrowings under the Credit Agreement from LIBOR to SOFR (the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York). The purpose of the second amendment entered into in June 2023 was to repay and retire $175.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility with borrowings from the Revolving Facility which was undrawn at the time of the second amendment, provide Orion OP with the option to extend the maturity of the Revolving Facility for an additional 18 months to May 12, 2026 from November 12, 2024 and to effect certain other modifications. The extension option is subject to customary conditions including there being no default or event of default, such as the failure to satisfy a financial or other covenant, and the payment of an extension fee. The Company’s ability to satisfy these conditions and continue to comply with the terms of the
Revolving Facility is partially dependent upon the Company having a sufficient level of unencumbered asset value as defined in the Credit Agreement with respect to the Revolving Facility. After giving effect to the third amendment described below, Orion OP expects to be able to satisfy the loan extension conditions and, therefore, intends to elect the option to extend the maturity date of the Revolving Facility until May 12, 2026, during the second quarter of 2024. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to satisfy the extension conditions and continue to comply with the Revolving Facility.
On May 3, 2024, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement which resulted in a permanent $75.0 million reduction in the capacity of the Revolving Facility to $350.0 million, while making a proportional reduction in the minimum value of the unencumbered asset pool required under the Credit Agreement and certain other modifications to financial covenants. See Note 15 – Subsequent Events for further information.
The interest rate applicable to the loans under the Revolving Facility may be determined, at the election of Orion OP, on the basis of Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR or a base rate, in the case of a SOFR loan, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% per annum, and in the case of a SOFR loan or a base rate loan, plus an applicable margin of 3.25% for SOFR loans and 2.25% for base rate loans. Loans under the Revolving Facility may be prepaid and reborrowed, and unused commitments under the Revolving Facility may be reduced, at any time, in whole or in part, by Orion OP, without premium or penalty (except for SOFR breakage costs).
In December 2022, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $175.0 million, which effectively fixed the interest rate on $175.0 million of principal under the Revolving Facility (or, until June 29, 2023, the Term Loan Facility) at 3.92% per annum until November 12, 2023. Upon the scheduled expiration of the interest rate swap agreements, the Company entered into interest rate collar agreements on a total notional amount of $60.0 million to hedge against interest rate volatility on the Revolving Facility. Under the agreements, the benchmark rate for the Revolving Facility will float between 5.50% per annum and 4.20% per annum on $25.0 million, and 5.50% per annum and 4.035% per annum on $35.0 million, effective from November 13, 2023 until May 12, 2025. As of March 31, 2024, the weighted average effective interest rate of the Revolving Facility was 8.66%.
To the extent that amounts under the Revolving Facility remain unused, Orion OP is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the unused portion of the Revolving Facility.
The Revolving Facility is guaranteed pursuant to a guaranty by the Company and, subject to certain exceptions, substantially all of Orion OP’s existing and future subsidiaries (including substantially all of its subsidiaries that directly or indirectly own unencumbered real properties), other than certain joint ventures and subsidiaries that own real properties subject to certain other indebtedness (such subsidiaries of Orion OP, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”).
The Revolving Facility is secured by, among other things, first priority pledges of the equity interests in the Subsidiary Guarantors.
The Revolving Facility requires that Orion OP comply with various covenants, including covenants restricting, subject to certain exceptions, liens, investments, mergers, asset sales and the payment of certain dividends. Pursuant to the second amendment described above, if, on any day, Orion OP has unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $25.0 million (excluding amounts that are then designated for application or use and are subsequently used for such purposes within 30 days), Orion OP will use such excess amount to prepay loans under the Revolving Facility, without premium or penalty and without any reduction in the lenders’ commitment under the Revolving Facility.
In addition, the Revolving Facility giving effect to the modifications pursuant to the second amendment described above, requires that Orion OP satisfy the following financial covenants:
ratio of total debt to total asset value of not more than 0.60 to 1.00;
ratio of adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.00;
ratio of secured debt to total asset value of not more than 0.40 to 1.00;
ratio of unsecured debt to unencumbered asset value of not more than 0.60 to 1.00;
ratio of net operating income from all unencumbered real properties to unsecured interest expense of not less than 2.00 to 1.00; and
the unencumbered asset value maintained by Orion OP must be at least $600.0 million.
Pursuant to the second amendment described above, if the ratio of unsecured debt to unencumbered asset value exceeds 0.35 to 1.00 as of the end oftwo consecutive fiscal quarters, Orion OP will be required, within 90 days and subject to cure rights, to grant the administrative agent a first priority lien on all the properties included in the pool of unencumbered assets (other than properties identified for disposition by the Company so long as such properties are sold within one year of such identification). Pursuant to the third amendment described above, the minimum unencumbered asset value has been reduced to $500.0 million, from $600.0 million.
As of March 31, 2024, Orion OP was in compliance with the Revolving Facility financial covenants.
The Revolving Facility includes customary representations and warranties of the Company and Orion OP, which must be true and correct in all material respects as a condition to future extensions of credit under the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility also includes customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable grace period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations of Orion OP under the Revolving Facility to be immediately due and payable and foreclose on the collateral securing the Revolving Facility.
CMBS Loan
On February 10, 2022, certain indirect subsidiaries of the Company (the “Mortgage Borrowers”) obtained a $355.0 million fixed rate mortgage loan (the “CMBS Loan”) from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (together with its successor, the “Lender”), which is secured by the Mortgage Borrowers’ fee simple or ground lease interests in 19 properties owned indirectly by the Company (collectively, the “Mortgaged Properties”). During March 2022, Wells Fargo effected a securitization of the CMBS Loan. The CMBS Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.971% per annum and matures on February 11, 2027.
The CMBS Loan requires monthly payments of interest only and all principal is due at maturity. The proceeds of the CMBS Loan were used to repay the Bridge Facility. Upon closing of the CMBS Loan, the Mortgage Borrowers funded $35.5 million of loan reserves primarily for future rent concessions and tenant improvement allowances under the leases with respect to the 19 Mortgaged Properties. These amounts, as well as the transaction expenses incurred in connection with the CMBS Loan, were funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Facility.
The CMBS Loan is secured by, among other things, first priority mortgages and deeds of trust granted by the Mortgage Borrowers and encumbering the Mortgaged Properties.
The CMBS Loan is generally not freely prepayable by the Mortgage Borrowers without payment of certain prepayment premiums and costs. The CMBS Loan may be prepaid in whole, but not in part, except as provided in the loan agreement governing the CMBS Loan (the “CMBS Loan Agreement”), at any time following the Prepayment Lockout Release Date (as defined in the CMBS Loan Agreement) (generally in March 2024, two years after the CMBS Loan has been fully securitized), subject to the payment of a yield maintenance premium and the satisfaction of other terms and conditions set forth in the CMBS Loan Agreement. Further, releases of individual properties are permitted in connection with an arms’ length third party sale upon repayment of the Release Price (as defined in the CMBS Loan Agreement) for the applicable individual property and subject to payment of the applicable yield maintenance premium and the satisfaction of other terms and conditions set forth in the CMBS Loan Agreement.
The CMBS Loan Agreement also contains customary cash management provisions, including certain trigger events (such as failure of the Mortgage Borrowers to satisfy a minimum debt yield) which allow the Lender to retain any excess cash flow as additional collateral for the Loan, until such trigger event is cured.
In connection with the CMBS Loan Agreement, the Company (as the guarantor) delivered a customary non-recourse carveout guaranty to the Lender (the “Guaranty”), under which the Company guaranteed the obligations and liabilities of the Mortgage Borrowers to the Lender with respect to certain non-recourse carveout events and the circumstances under which the CMBS Loan will be fully recourse to the Mortgage Borrowers, and which includes requirements for the Company to maintain a net worth of no less than $355.0 million and liquid assets of no less than $10.0 million, in each case, exclusive of the values of the collateral for the CMBS Loan. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants.
The Mortgage Borrowers and the Company also provided a customary environmental indemnity agreement, pursuant to which the Mortgage Borrowers and the Company agreed to protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Lender from and against certain environmental liabilities relating to the Mortgaged Properties.
The CMBS Loan Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Mortgage Borrowers and the Company. The CMBS Loan Agreement also includes customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable grace period, would permit the Lender to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations of the Mortgage Borrowers to be immediately due and payable and foreclose on the Mortgaged Properties.
The Company’s mortgages payable consisted of the following as of March 31, 2024 (dollars in thousands):
| Encumbered Properties | Net Carrying Value of Collateralized Properties (1) | Outstanding Balance | Weighted-AverageInterest Rate | Weighted-Average Years to Maturity | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed-rate debt | 19 | $425,544 | $355,000 | 4.97% | 2.9 |
(1)Net carrying value is real estate assets, including right-of-use assets, net of real estate liabilities.
The table above does not include non-recourse mortgage notes associated with the Arch Street Joint Venture of $136.7 million as of March 31, 2024.
Note 7 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding derivative agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $60.0 million, which were designated as cash flow hedges under U.S. GAAP. The interest rate derivative agreements comprise interest rate collar agreements entered into in order to hedge interest rate volatility with respect to the Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Facility. Under the agreements, the benchmark rate for the Revolving Facility will float between 5.50% per annum and 4.20% per annum on $25.0 million, and 5.50% per annum and 4.035% per annum on $35.0 million, effective from November 13, 2023 until May 12, 2025.
The Company was previously party to derivative agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $175.0 million, which were also designated as cash flow hedges under U.S. GAAP. The interest rate derivative agreements, which expired on November 12, 2023, comprised interest rate swap agreements which effectively fixed the interest rate on the Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Facility (or, until June 29, 2023, the Term Loan Facility) until November 12, 2023.
The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges as well as their classification in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):
| Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments | Balance Sheet Location | March 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interest rate collars | Other liabilities, net | $(45) | $(264) |
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded net unrealized gains of $0.2 million for changes in the fair value of its cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded unrealized losses of less than $0.1 million for changes in the fair value of its cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company didnot reclassify any previous net gains or losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense as a result of the hedged transactions impacting earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company reclassified previous net gains of $1.7 million from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense as a result of the hedged transactions impacting earnings.
During the next twelve months, the Company estimates thatno amounts will be reclassified from other comprehensive income to interest expense.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
As of each of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company hadno derivatives that were not designated as qualifying hedging relationships.

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies
Leasing
As part of its ordinary re-leasing activities, the Company has agreed and anticipates that it will continue to agree to provide rent concessions to tenants and incur leasing costs with respect to its properties, including amounts paid directly to tenants to improve their space and/or building systems, or tenant improvement allowances, landlord agreements to perform and pay for certain improvements, and leasing commissions. These rent concessions and leasing costs could be significant and are expected to vary due to factors such as competitive market conditions for leasing of commercial office space and the volume of square footage subject to re-leasing by the Company.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had the following estimated total outstanding commitments (in thousands):
| March 31, 2024 (1) | |
|---|---|
| Tenant improvement allowances | $43,238 |
| Reimbursable landlord work (2) | 6,906 |
| Non-reimbursable landlord work (2) | 3,787 |
| Leasing commissions | 323 |
| Total | $54,254 |
(1)Outstanding commitments do not include rent concessions as such amounts are recorded as a component of straight-line rent receivable, net, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(2)Landlord work represents specific improvements agreed to within the lease agreement to be performed by us, as landlord, as a new and non-recurring obligation and in order to induce the tenant to enter into a new lease or lease renewal or extension. Commitments for reimbursable and non-reimbursable landlord work include estimates and are subject to change.
The timing of the Company’s cash outlay for tenant improvement allowances is significantly uncertain and will depend upon the applicable tenant’s schedule for the improvements and corresponding use of capital, if any. For assets financed on the CMBS Loan, the Company has funded reserves with the lender for tenant improvement allowances and rent concessions. The restricted cash included in the reserve totaled $34.7 million as of March 31, 2024, including $23.6 million for tenant improvement allowances and $11.1 million for rent concessions, and is included in other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be party to various legal proceedings which it believes are routine in nature and incidental to the operation of its business. The Company does not believe that any such legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon its consolidated position or results of operations.
Environmental Matters
In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and is not aware of any other environmental condition, in each case, that it believes will have a material adverse effect upon its consolidated position or results of operations.
Note 11 – Leases
Lessor
As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s operating leases have non-cancelable lease terms ranging from 0.2 years to 15.1 years. Certain leases with tenants include tenant options to extend or terminate the lease agreements or to purchase the underlying assets. Lease agreements may also contain rent increases that are based on an index or rate (e.g., the consumer price index).
The components of rental revenue from the Company’s operating leases during the periods indicated below were as follows (in thousands):

Lessee
The Company is the lessee under ground lease arrangements and corporate office leases, which meet the criteria under U.S. GAAP for an operating lease. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s operating leases had remaining lease terms ranging from 1.7 years to 60.8 years, which includes options to extend. Under the operating leases, the Company pays rent and may also pay variable costs, including property operating expenses and common area maintenance. The weighted-average discount rate used to measure the lease liability for the Company’s operating leases was 3.83% as of March 31, 2024. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date or the lease guidance adoption date, as applicable, in determining the present value of lease payments.
Operating lease costs were $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. No cash paid for operating lease liabilities was capitalized for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
The following table reflects the maturity analysis of payments due from the Company over the next five years and thereafter for ground and corporate office lease obligations as of March 31, 2024 (in thousands).

On November 12, 2021, in connection with the Distribution, Orion OP entered into an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLCA”) of the Arch Street Joint Venture, by and between Orion OP and OAP Holdings LLC (the “Arch Street Partner”), an affiliate of Arch Street Capital Partners, pursuant to which the Arch Street Partner consented to the transfer of the equity interests of the Arch Street Joint Venture previously held by VEREIT Real Estate, L.P. to Orion OP.
Also on November 12, 2021, in connection with the entry into the LLCA, the Company granted certain affiliates of the Arch Street Partner warrants to purchase up to 1,120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Arch Street Warrants”). The Arch Street Warrants entitle the respective holders to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to $22.42, at any time. The Arch Street Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Company common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the Arch Street Warrants. The Arch Street Warrants expire on the earlier of (a)ten years after issuance and (b) if the Arch Street Joint Venture is terminated, the later of the termination of the Arch Street Joint Venture andseven years after issuance.
Share Repurchase Program
On November 1, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock until December 31, 2025, as market conditions warrant (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Repurchases may be made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, structured or derivative transactions, including accelerated stock repurchase transactions, or other methods of acquiring shares in accordance with applicable securities laws and other legal requirements. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to make any repurchases at a specific time or in a specific situation. Repurchases are subject to prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock, the Company’s liquidity and anticipated liquidity needs, financial performance and other conditions. Shares of common stock repurchased by the Company under the Share Repurchase Program, if any, will be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. The Company didnot repurchase any shares under the Share Repurchase Program during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $45.0 million available under the Share Repurchase Program.
Note 13 - Equity-Based Compensation
The Company has an equity-based incentive award plan (the “Equity Plan”) for officers, other employees, non-employee directors and consultants who provide services to the Company. Awards under the Equity Plan are accounted for under U.S. GAAP as share-based payments. The expense for such awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. Under the Equity Plan, the Company may grant various types of awards, including restricted stock units that will vest if the recipient maintains employment with the Company over the requisite service period (the “Time-Based RSUs”) and restricted stock units that may vest in a number ranging from 0% to 100% of the total number of units granted, based on the Company’s total shareholder return measured on an absolute basis (“TSR-Based RSUs”) and based on certain operational performance metrics (“Metrics-Based RSUs” and collectively with the TSR-Based RSUs, “Performance-Based RSUs”), in each case for officers and other employees during athree-year performance period. The Company also granted Time-Based RSUs to its non-employee directors which are scheduled to vest on the earlier of theone-year anniversary of the grant date and the next annual meeting, subject to the recipient’s continued service with the Company.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company granted Time-Based RSUs and/or Performance-Based RSUs to officers and other employees of the Company. The fair value of the Time-Based RSUs is determined using the closing stock price on the grant date and is expensed over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. The fair value of the TSR-Based RSUs is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation which takes into account multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the required total shareholder return, and such fair value is expensed over the performance period. The fair value of the Metrics-Based RSUs is determined using the closing stock price on the grant date and is expensed over the requisite service period to the extent that the likelihood of achieving the performance metrics is probable. As of March 31, 2024, the Company determined that the likelihood of achieving some of the performance metrics was probable and, accordingly, the Company recognized compensation expense for such Metrics-Based RSUs and determined that the likelihood of achieving the remaining performance metrics was improbable and the Company recognized no compensation expense for the remaining Metrics-Based RSUs.
Time-Based RSUs and Performance-Based RSUs do not provide for any rights of a common stockholder prior to the vesting of such restricted stock units. Equity-based compensation expense related to Time-Based RSUs and Performance-Based RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to Time-Based RSUs and Performance-Based RSUs was approximately $6.1 million, with an aggregate weighted-average remaining term of 2.2 years.
The Company is also required under U.S. GAAP to recognize equity-based compensation expense for awards to its former employees of Realty Income time-based restricted stock units and stock options granted in connection with the Separation and the Distribution. Equity-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, related to such Realty Income equity-based compensation awards, was less than $0.1 million. As of March 31, 2024, there wasno remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to Realty Income time-based restricted stock units and stock options.
Note 14 - Net Income (Loss) Per Share
