QUANTIFYING VALUE OF THE
INVESTMENT GRADE CREDIT
In 2016-2017, Diageo paid $75 mm for a
release of the guarantee, reducing Realty
Income's cost basis by ~25% and resulting in
a 10% adjusted cap rate. Treasury Wine Estates,
which has lower corporate leverage but no
public debt outstanding, assumed the
corporate guarantee.
