Four Corners Property Trust FCPT, a real estate investment trust engaged in the ownership of high-quality, net-leased restaurant properties ("FCPT" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce the disposition of an Olive Garden restaurant property leased to Darden Restaurants, Inc. DRI for $5.9 million. The property is located in Fairfax, Virginia, and is occupied under a triple-net lease with approximately 16 years of term remaining. The sale is the result of an unsolicited offer at a cash cap rate of 4.75%, exclusive of transaction costs.

FCPT anticipates redeploying the proceeds from this transaction through an Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 like-kind exchange ("1031-Exchange"). As a result, net cash proceeds from the sale will be held in an escrow account until one or more properties are purchased through the 1031-Exchange. However, there can be no assurance that an acquisition of a new property or properties will occur. If the Company fails to identify one or more like-kind replacement properties of comparable value within 45 days of the date of sale and/or fails to acquire such property or properties within 180 days of the date of sale, the Company will be required to pay a tax at the highest corporate income tax rate on the "built-in gain" (i.e. the gain that existed at the time FCPT acquired the properties from Darden) recognized on the sale of the properties.
