From the inception of the RUSSELL 28% 96% 98% 253% company in 1997 we chose to take a different 1000 path. Initially, we saw the opportunity to focus Source: SNL All data through 12/31/16 on the movie exhibition property segment and * Lifetime Data: 11/15/97 - 12/31/16 for several years we focused our investments only in theatre properties. In subsequent years we not only added to theatres, creating what we now refer to as TOTAL INVESTMENTS our Entertainment segment, we’ve also (IN MILLIONS) added Recreation and Education as primary investment segments. $5,307 OTHER $4,606 178 RECREATION EDUCATION 203 The basis of our expansion into broadened $4,040 1,148 ENTERTAINMENT $3,562 207 944 segments was, and continues to be, supported $3,211 $3,120 696 $2,969 212 by our overall investment thesis of focusing on $2,844 1,303 $2,717 267 550 395 1006 select, non-commodity real estate segments 335 421 728 $2,271 382 342 318 337 538 that are highly enduring. 312 374 67 280 230 286 234 174 44 170 2,678 2,453 2,411 2,177 2,148 2,262 1,926 1,925 1,976 2,011 In deploying over $800 million in investment spending in 2016, we continued to see strength across each of our tenant industries and 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 investment segments. LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT (cont.) ENTERTAINMENT Supported by the transformation of the movie-going experience, in 2016 the U.S. Box Office exceeded expectations and had yet another record-setting year, with revenues of approximately $11.4 billion. We continue to see quality opportunities within the Entertainment segment with the acceleration of exhibitors’ migration to expanded amenity theatres. These opportunities involve the purchase and conversion of existing theatres as well as the build-to-suit construction of new theatres. Through the end of 2016, 25% of our theatre portfolio had been renovated to reflect the new design and within 36 months we expect these renovations to exceed 50% of our existing theatre portfolio. These renovations have benefited the Company not only in terms of extending lease term, but also from a performance standpoint. For renovated properties which have been open for a full year, our tenants have seen a 40% average improvement in total revenues, which translates into higher rent coverages and greater opportunities for percentage rent. During the year we invested over $266 million in our Entertainment segment. RECREATION In our Recreation segment, we have seen the centuries old game of golf evolve into a new experience with Topgolf. The strong performance of these properties has continued with overall lease coverage in excess of three times. We are encouraged by the strong consumer acceptance, rapid ramp-up and reliable performance of our Topgolf investments. Our ski and waterpark investments continue to demonstrate that the combination of family and friends with fun outdoor activities is an essential part of our social fabric, and is only enhanced by technological advances rather than threatened. While Mother Nature may introduce variability into the results of our operators, our underwriting takes this variability into consideration, and the investments continue to deliver durable results for the long term. During the year we invested over $198 million in our Recreation segment. LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT (cont.) EDUCATION Our Education segment continues to experience significant demand-driven growth across each of our property types. This growth recognizes the enormous power of educational choice and the increasing focus parents have on both educational curriculum and environments. National public charter school enrollment achieved a new record with approximately 3.1 million students for the 2016/17 school year, a 7% increase over the previous year. We continue to believe that growth opportunities with public charter schools will remain strong as the category continues to garner increased acceptance among both students and parents. Separately, we saw substantial growth in both our early childhood education and private school property types. We invested over $73 million in our private school portfolio, adding eight additional schools and two additional operators. During the year we invested over $338 million in our Education segment.

We will also continue to make solid advancements in the quality of our portfolio through our strategic asset disposition and capital recycling program. While we are pleased with our 2016 results, our orientation has been, and will remain, with a focus on the long term. We have a uniquely qualified team of professionals and we have the opportunity to continue to grow in unique real estate segments, yet we must do so with deliberate and thoughtful execution to sustain the long term. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
