From the latest earnings call

- CFO Toni Sanzone said rent collections improved and W.P. Carey lowered its estimate of potential full-year rent loss from tenant credit events.

Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more.

W. P. Carey is an internally managed diversified real estate investment trust, or REIT. It owns commercial properties and leases them to companies, primarily in the United States and Europe. Its portfolio consists mainly of single-tenant industrial, warehouse and retail facilities. The company also owns a small number of operating properties, including self-storage facilities, hotels and student housing.
The company specializes in sale-leaseback transactions: it buys a property from a business and then leases it back to that business for a long period. This lets the seller continue using the property while receiving proceeds from the sale. W. P. Carey also acquires other net-leased properties and works with existing tenants on expansions, renovations and redevelopment.
