Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.




As previously reported, on December 29, 2022, certain subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Seller") of CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. (the
"Company" or "CMFT") entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale, as amended
(the "Purchase and Sale Agreement"), with certain subsidiaries of Realty Income
Corporation (NYSE: O) (the "Purchaser"). The Purchaser is not affiliated with
the Seller. Under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Seller
agreed to sell to the Purchaser 185 single-tenant net lease properties
encompassing approximately 4.6 million gross rentable square feet of commercial
space across 34 states for total consideration of $894.0 million (the "Purchase
Price"), to be paid in cash.

The sale of 151 properties under contract for sale pursuant to the Purchase and
Sale Agreement closed on March 22, 2023 for total consideration of $779.0
million. The sale of the remaining properties pursuant to the Purchase and Sale
Agreement is expected to close during the second quarter of 2023, although no
assurance can be made that the Company will complete the sale of the remaining
properties within that timeframe, or at all.

After the total repayment and defeasance of approximately $369.4 million of debt
and $4.2 million of transaction costs, the Company will redeploy the net sale
proceeds into investments in senior secured loans and credit leases, consistent
with its core business strategy as a credit-focused real estate investment
trust.


                 Item 9.01   Financial Statements and Exhibits.


Explanatory Note

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
the Company is providing the pro forma financial information required by Item
9.01 related to the sale of 151 properties on March 22, 2023 (the "Initial
Closing"), and the proposed sale of the remaining properties, which is expected
to close during the second quarter of 2023 (the "Proposed Closing"), although no
assurance can be made that the Company will complete the sale of the remaining
properties within that timeframe, or at all.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of the
Company as of September 30, 2022 is presented as if the Initial Closing and the
Proposed Closing had occurred on September 30, 2022. The accompanying unaudited
pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations of the Company for the
nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021
are presented as if the Initial Closing and the Proposed Closing had occurred on
January 1, 2021.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to
present fairly the pro forma financial position and results of operations of the
Company as of and for the periods indicated; however, the accompanying unaudited
pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not intended to be
indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have
actually occurred nor do they purport to represent the financial position or
results of operations for future periods. The retrospectively adjusted financial
position and results of operations for the indicated periods when reported in
the post-sale periodic reports may differ from the pro forma financial
statements presented herein. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical
consolidated financial statements and notes accompanying the Company's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do not
include the impact of any strategies that management may have considered in
order to efficiently manage the Company's operations had the sale occurred on
January 1, 2021. Pro forma adjustments have not been made in the accompanying
pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations of the Company for the
estimated gain on disposition resulting from the sale, for any reimbursements or
payments resulting from the sale, or for the use of proceeds resulting from the
sale.
