Adjusted Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre of 5.2x at September 30, 2018 (please note the definition of Adjusted EBITDAre has been revised this quarter and going forward to reflect adjustments made for income producing acquisitions and dispositions made during the quarter).
On November 2, 2018, Spirit exercised its option to extend the maturity date of the $420.0 million Term Loan to November 2, 2019.
As of November 2, 2018, Spirit had approximately $10.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $626.5 million of available borrowing capacity under its unsecured line of credit.
As of November 2, 2018, Spirit had additional funds available for acquisitions of approximately $11.5 million in its 1031 Exchange and Spirit Master Trust Program release accounts.
As of November 2, 2018, our outstanding common share count is 428,476,552.
Definitions for non-GAAP measures can be found in the supplemental financial and operating report posted on Spirit's website along with this release. A reconciliation of FFO and AFFO to net income attributable to common stockholders is included in this document.
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On May 1, 2018, Spirit's Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to $250.0 million of its outstanding common stock. No shares have been repurchased under this new program.
2018 GUIDANCE
The Company maintains its previously stated full-year guidance for Spirit as a stand-alone entity, pro-forma for the distribution of Spirit MTA REIT ("SMTA"), as if the distribution had been effected as of January 1, 2018, and for Spirit, inclusive of its ownership in SMTA from January 1 through May 31, 2018:
AFFO of $0.75 to $0.76 per share (excluding severance charges),
Pro-forma AFFO of $0.67 to $0.68 per share (excluding severance charges),
Capital deployment of $450.0 million to $550.0 million (comprising acquisitions, revenue producing capital expenditures and stock repurchases),
Asset dispositions of $50.0 million to $100.0 million, and
Adjusted Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre of 5.2x to 5.4x.
The Company does not provide a reconciliation for its guidance range of AFFO per diluted share to net income available to common stockholders per diluted share, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, due to the inherent variability in timing and/or amount of various items that could impact net income available to common stockholders per diluted share, including, for example, gains on debt extinguishment, impairments and other items that are outside the control of the Company.

Spirit does not guarantee that the events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following risks and uncertainties, among others, could cause actual and future events or results to differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors, which include, but are not limited to: industry and economic conditions; volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets, including potential fluctuations in the Consumer Price Index; Spirit’s continued ability to implement its business strategy and source new investments; risks associated with using debt to fund Spirit’s business activities (including refinancing and interest rate risks, changes in interest rates and/or credit spreads, changes in the price of Spirit’s common stock, conditions of the equity and debt capital markets, and ability to access debt and equity capital markets, generally); Spirit’s ability to pay down, refinance, restructure and/or extend its indebtedness as it becomes due; Spirit’s ability to identify, underwrite, finance, consummate, integrate and manage diversifying acquisitions or investments; unknown liabilities acquired in connection with acquired properties or interests in real-estate related entities; general risks affecting the real estate industry and local real estate markets (including, without limitation, the market value of Spirit’s properties, the inability to enter into or renew leases at favorable rates, portfolio occupancy varying from Spirit’s expectations, dependence on tenants' financial condition and operating performance, competition from other developers, owners and operators of real estate, tenant defaults, potential liability relating to environmental matters, potential illiquidity of real estate investments, condemnations, and potential damage from natural disasters); the financial performance of Spirit’s tenants and the demand for retail and restaurant space, particularly with respect to challenges being experienced by general merchandise retailers; risks associated with Spirit’s failure or unwillingness to maintain its status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; Spirit’s ability to diversify its tenant base; the impact of any financial, accounting, legal or regulatory issues or litigation that may affect Spirit or its major tenants; Spirit’s ability to manage its expanded operations, including Spirit Realty, L.P.'s external management of SMTA; uncertainties as to the impact of the spin-off by Spirit of the assets that collateralize Master Trust 2014, properties leased to Shopko, and certain other assets into Spirit MTA REIT on May 31, 2018 (“spin-off”) on Spirit's business; and other additional risks discussed in Spirit’s most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
