  Item 5.07
  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
  On May 12, 2010, Realty Income Corporation (the "Company") held its 2010 annual meeting of stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"). As of March 11, 2010, the record date for the Annual Meeting, there were 104,400,957 common shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Proxies for the Annual Meeting were solicited pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
  The first proposal considered at the Annual Meeting was the election of seven directors to serve until the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify.
  All of management's nominees for directors as listed in the proxy statement were elected with the following vote:

  Broker non-votes were counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum. However, brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote shares on the election of directors.  Therefore, for the purpose of the election of directors, broker non-votes were not counted as votes cast and had no effect on the result of the vote.
