Non-Employee Director Stock Ownership Guidelines Purpose: The purpose of the Stock Ownership Guidelines for non-employee directors is to align the interests of non-employee directors with the long-term interests of stockholders and further promote the commitment of Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. (“Spirit”) to sound corporate governance. Ownership Requirement: Each non-employee director is expected to hold an investment position in Spirit common stock equal in value to five times the annual retainer paid to directors. Measurement: Compliance with these ownership guidelines will be measured on the first trading day of each calendar year, using the annual director retainer then in effect, and the closing price of Spirit common stock on that day. Transition Period: There will be a transition period of five years for non-employee directors to achieve the ownership requirement. If at any time the annual retainer increases, the non-employee director will have five years from the time of such increase to acquire any additional shares needed to meet these guidelines. Non-employee directors will be expected to make steady progress toward meeting the guidelines throughout the five-year transition period. Holdings Considered: The following holdings will be considered when measuring stock ownership: • Shares owned individually, shares owned jointly with a spouse, or shares owned separately by a spouse and/or children that share the director's household; and • Restricted Stock Awards that have not yet vested.
