Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events A. Dividends In April 2021, we declared a dividend of $0.235 per share to our common stockholders, which will be paid in May 2021. B. Agreement and Plan of Merger On April 29, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or the Merger Agreement, with VEREIT, Inc., or VEREIT, its operating partnership, VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P., or VEREIT OP, and two newly formed wholly owned subsidiaries of us. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, (i) one of the newly formed subsidiaries of us will merge with and into VEREIT OP, with VEREIT OP as the surviving entity, and (ii) immediately thereafter, VEREIT will merge with and into the other newly formed subsidiary of us, with our subsidiary as the surviving corporation. We refer to these transactions, collectively, as the Mergers. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the consummation of the Mergers, (i) each outstanding share of VEREIT common stock, and each outstanding common unit of VEREIT OP owned by a partner other than VEREIT, will automatically be converted into 0.705 of a newly issued share of our common stock, (ii) each outstanding Series F preferred unit of VEREIT OP owned by a partner other than VEREIT shall be converted into the right to receive $25.00, plus the accumulated and unpaid distributions described in Merger Agreement, in each case, subject to certain adjustments, and (iii) each outstanding partnership unit of VEREIT OP owned by VEREIT will remain outstanding as a partnership unit in the surviving entity of VEREIT OP. Immediately prior to the Mergers, VEREIT will issue a redemption notice to redeem each share of issued and outstanding VEREIT Series F preferred stock at its redemption price in accordance with its terms. In connection with the Mergers, we and VEREIT intend to contribute some or all of our office real properties to a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, which we refer to as OfficeCo, and, following the Mergers, distribute the outstanding voting shares of common stock in OfficeCo to our combined shareholders on a pro rata basis, which we refer to as the Spin-Off. Following the consummation of the Spin-Off, we and VEREIT intend for OfficeCo to operate as a separate, publicly-traded REIT. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, we and VEREIT may also seek to sell some or all of the OfficeCo business in connection with the closing of the Mergers. The Merger Agreement contains customary covenants, representations, and warranties, as well as certain termination rights for VEREIT and us, in each case, as more fully described in the Merger Agreement. The consummation of the Mergers is also subject to certain customary closing conditions, including receipt of the approval by our stockholders and the stockholders of VEREIT. In addition, we will not be obligated to consummate the Mergers before January 29, 2022 unless the Spin-Off is ready, in all respects, to be consummated contemporaneously with the closing of the Mergers. If this condition is not satisfied or waived by us by January 29, 2022, and all other conditions to closing have been satisfied, the parties will be obligated to close the Mergers, regardless of whether the Spin-Off is ready to be consummated.
