GLOBAL NET LEASE ANNOUNCES OVER 675,000 SQUARE FEET OF LEASE RENEWALS IN FIRST QUARTER

Leases have weighted-average remaining term of seven years, expected to generate over $6.7 million of straight-line rent over term

NEW YORK, April 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Global Net Lease, Inc. (“GNL” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GNL/ GNL PRA / GNL PRB) announced today that it executed seven lease renewals during the first quarter with existing tenants, including the previously announced lease with Rheinmetall. These leases total approximately 678,500 square feet and have a new weighted-average remaining lease term of 7.0 years. Over time, the leases are expected to generate $6.77 million of straight-line rent. Renewal leases were signed with tenants in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

“We continue to be successful renewing near-term lease expirations with our existing tenants on favorable terms, including an aggregate increase of over $270,000 in straight-line rent,” said James Nelson, CEO of GNL. “By building relationships well in advance of lease expirations we have been able to retain our high-quality tenants and increase our weighted-average lease duration. With our portfolio nearly fully leased, we believe that focusing our asset management efforts on long-term leases is one of the most important ways that we can create value for shareholders.”
