Four Corners Property Trust Set to Join the S&P SmallCap 600

NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Four Corners Property Trust Inc. (NYSE: FCPT) will replace Approach Resources Inc. (NASD: AREX) in the S&P SmallCap 600 after the close of trading on Tuesday, November 10. Four Corners Property Trust will be added to the S&P 500 for one day after the close of trading on Monday, November 9 on a zero price basis, reflecting its spin-off from S&P 500 constituent Darden Restaurants Inc. (NYSE: DRI). Approach Resources is ranked near the bottom of the S&P SmallCap 600 and is no longer appropriate for that index.

Four Corners Property Trust, a real estate investment trust (REIT), will be primarily engaged in the ownership, acquisition, and leasing of restaurant properties. Headquartered in Orlando, FL, the company will be added to the S&P SmallCap 600 GICS (Global Industry Classification Standard) Specialized REITs Sub-Industry index.
