Four Corners Property Trust Announces Acquisition of Five Burger King Restaurant Properties for $11.5 million

MILL VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Four Corners Property Trust (NYSE: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 acquisition of five Burger King properties leased to Cambridge Franchise Holdings ("Cambridge") for $11.5 million. The five properties are located in Keysville, Virginia; Roxboro, North Carolina; Oxford, North Carolina; Huntsville, Alabama; and Amory, Mississippi. The restaurants are occupied under new individual triple-net leases with 20-year terms, and the transaction closed at a going-in cash cap rate consistent with previously announced transactions. Cambridge, a 98-unit franchisee, has been actively renovating these properties and will continue to do so over the next few years.

FCPT funded the acquisition with proceeds from its revolving line of credit and from an Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 like-kind exchange ("1031-Exchange") sale of an Olive Garden property in Florida announced earlier this week.

Bill Lenehan, with FCPT, commented, "We are delighted to partner with Cambridge and assist their team in its growth. As one of the fastest growing franchisees in the nation, Cambridge has a superior track record of success. We look forward to continuing the relationship and doing additional transactions with Cambridge."

Matt Perelman, Cambridge's Co-Founder, stated "We're extremely excited to partner with the FCPT team. Their growing reputation is well-deserved and we look forward to more transactions together."
