NNN REIT streamlines board committee structure

ORLANDO, FL—NNN REIT, Inc. (NYSE: NNN), a real estate investment trust with a market capitalization of $7.95 billion, announced changes to its corporate governance structure, as detailed in an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a "GREAT" financial health score and has demonstrated remarkable consistency with 35 consecutive years of dividend increases. On Monday, the company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to its bylaws that affects the composition and independence requirements of its board committees.

The amendment, effective as of March 13, 2025, allows for any board committee of the company to be composed of one or more directors. This marks a shift from the previous structure that may have stipulated a higher minimum number of directors. Additionally, the amendment eliminates the bylaw requirements regarding the independence of directors who may serve on board committees. The determination of a director’s independence will now be solely governed by the rules and regulations of the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange, where NNN REIT’s common stock is traded under the ticker symbol NNN. The company maintains strong financial metrics, with a healthy current ratio of 1.64 and a substantial dividend yield of 5.48%.

These changes come as part of the Sixth Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Bylaws of the company. The updated bylaws aim to streamline the committee structure within the organization’s board, potentially allowing for more flexibility in how committees are formed and operate.
