STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are a leading specialty real estate investment trust, or &#147;REIT,&#148; with an investment portfolio that primarily includes entertainment, education and recreation properties. The underwriting of
our investments is centered on key industry and property cash flow criteria. Our investments are also guided by a focus on inflection opportunities that are associated with or support enduring uses, excellent executions, attractive economics and an
advantageous market position. Substantially all of our owned single-tenant properties are leased pursuant to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">long-term,</FONT> triple-net leases, under which the tenants typically pay all operating expenses of the
property. Tenants at our owned multi-tenant properties are typically required to pay common area maintenance charges to reimburse us for their pro-rata portion of these costs. We are a self-administered REIT. As of June&nbsp;30, 2013, we had total
assets of approximately $3.4 billion (before accumulated depreciation of $0.4 billion). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

acquisition of a company that indirectly owns 11&nbsp;theatre properties for approximately $117.7 million, which includes the assumption of a loan secured by the theatre properties with a current principal balance of approximately $91.0&nbsp;million
that bears interest at 7.4%&nbsp;per annum and matures in July 2017. The theatre properties contain an aggregate of approximately 139 screens, and are comprised of an aggregate of approximately 484,000 square feet of space located on approximately
76 acres. The theatre properties are leased to a prominent theatre operator pursuant to a master triple-net lease which we would assume that has an initial remaining term of approximately 14 years. Under the master lease, the tenant is responsible
for all taxes, costs and expenses arising from the use or operation of the properties. The transaction contemplated by the letter of intent is anticipated to close near the end of 2013 or early in 2014, and is contingent upon the negotiation and
execution of definitive agreements, due diligence, lender&#146;s consent and other customary closing conditions. We cannot assure you that the transaction will be completed on the terms described above or at all. </FONT></P>

$1.5 billion antitrust suit against us and certain of our subsidiaries, Empire Resorts, Inc. and Monticello Raceway Management, Inc. (collectively &#147;Empire&#148;), and Kien Huat Realty III Limited and Genting New York LLC (collectively,
&#147;Genting&#148;). The complaint alleged, among other things, that we had conspired with Empire to monopolize the racing and gaming market in the Catskills by entering into exclusivity and development agreements to develop a comprehensive resort
destination in Sullivan County, New York, that includes a casino and a harness racetrack and may also include one or more hotels, food and beverage outlets, a spa facility, retail venues, space for conferences, meetings, entertainment and special
events in a multi-purpose conference space supported by separate meeting rooms and parking facilities, a golf course and a resort including a variety of amenities (the &#147;Concord Project&#148;). The plaintiffs sought $500 million in damages
(trebled to $1.5 billion under antitrust law), punitive damages, and injunctive relief. The District Court dismissed plaintiffs&#146; federal antitrust claims against all defendants with prejudice, and dismissed the pendent state law claims against
Empire and Genting without prejudice, meaning they could be further pursued in state court. The plaintiffs have filed a motion for reconsideration with the District Court, seeking permission to file a Second Amended Complaint, and also have filed a
Notice of Appeal. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On October 2, 2013, the New

material to the previously stated financial results. The computations of the ratios based upon our previously stated financial results for these periods are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012 and

December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and our ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred share dividends were 2.1x, 1.9x and 1.9x for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

other business needs which might arise. Although our Board of Trustees has no intention at the present time of doing so, it could authorize us to issue a new class or series that could, depending upon the terms of the class or series, delay, defer

representations made by us in a representation letter and certificate provided by our officers and our factual representations set forth herein and in registration statements previously filed with the SEC. Any variation from the factual statements

shareholders, asset composition levels, and diversity of stock ownership, the actual results of which have not been and will not be reviewed by our counsel. In addition, our ability to qualify as a REIT also depends in part upon the operating
results, organizational structure and entity classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes of certain affiliated entities, including affiliates that have made elections to be taxed as REITs, and for whom the actual results of the various REIT

that has made a joint election with the REIT to be treated as a TRS. A TRS also includes any corporation other than a REIT with respect to which a TRS owns securities possessing more than 35% of the total voting power or value of the outstanding
securities of such corporation. Other than some activities relating to lodging and health care facilities, a TRS generally may engage in any business, including the provision of customary or non-customary services to tenants of its parent REIT. We

limit the deductibility of interest paid or accrued by a TRS and its parent REIT to assure that the TRS is subject to an appropriate level of corporate taxation. Further, as discussed below under &#147;&#151;Penalty Tax&#148;, the rules impose a
100% excise tax on certain transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT or the REIT&#146;s operations that are not conducted on an arm&#146;s length basis. Any dividends paid or deemed paid by any one of the Company&#146;s TRSs will be taxable to
the Company&#146;s shareholders to the extent the dividends received from the TRS are paid to the Company&#146;s shareholders. The Company may own more than 10% of the stock of a TRS without jeopardizing its qualification as a REIT. However, as
noted below, in order for the Company to qualify as a REIT, the securities of all of the TRSs in which it has invested either directly or indirectly may not represent more than 25% of the total value of its assets. The Company expects that the
aggregate value of all of its interests in TRSs will represent less than 25% of the total value or its assets; however, the Company cannot assure that this will always be true. In addition, a TRS may be prevented from deducting interest on debt
funded directly or indirectly by its parent REIT if certain tests regarding the TRS&#146;s debt to equity ratio and interest expense are not satisfied. A REIT&#146;s ownership of securities of a TRS will not be subject to the 10% or 5% asset tests

may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet these distribution requirements because of timing differences between the actual receipt of income and actual payment of deductible expenses, and the inclusion of income and deduction of
expenses in arriving at our taxable income. In addition, we may decide to retain our cash, rather than distribute it, in order to repay debt or for other reasons. Further, it is possible that from time to time we may be allocated a share of net
capital gain attributable to any depreciated property we sell that exceeds our allocable share of cash attributable to that sale. If these circumstances occur, we may need to arrange for borrowings, or may need to pay dividends in the form of
taxable stock dividends, in order to meet the distribution requirements. The IRS recently issued guidance that sets forth a safe harbor for certain part-stock and part-cash REIT distributions for 2008 and 2009 that will satisfy the REIT distribution
requirements. Under this guidance, up to 90% of our distributions could be paid in our common shares. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

the earlier year. Thus, we may be able to avoid being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends, subject to the 4% excise tax described below. However, we will be required to pay interest to the IRS based on the amount of any deduction

OID with respect to a debt security is the excess, if any, of the debt security&#146;s &#147;stated redemption price at maturity&#148; over its &#147;issue price.&#148; The &#147;stated redemption price at maturity&#148; is the sum of all payments
provided by the debt security, whether designated as interest or as principal, other than payments of &#147;qualified stated interest.&#148; Interest on a debt security generally will constitute qualified stated interest if the interest is
unconditionally payable, or will be constructively received under Section&nbsp;451 of the Code, in cash or in property, other than debt instruments issued by us, at least annually at a single fixed rate. The &#147;issue price&#148; of a debt
security is the first price at which a substantial amount of the debt securities in the issuance that includes such debt security is sold for money, excluding sales to bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity
of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers. The amount of OID with respect to a debt security will be treated as zero if the OID is less than an amount equal to 0.0025 multiplied by the product of the stated redemption price at maturity and
the number of complete years to maturity, or, in the case of a debt security that provides for payment of any amount other than qualified stated interest prior to maturity, the weighted average maturity of the debt security. If one or more series of
debt securities are issued with OID, disclosure concerning the tax considerations arising therefrom will be included with the applicable prospectus supplement or other applicable offering materials under which those securities are offered.
