On April 1, 2026, each of P. Sue Perrotty and
Governor Edward Rendell, members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Global Net Lease, Inc. (the “Company”),
notified the Company of their respective decisions to not stand for re-election to the Board at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting
of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), and instead retire from the Board effective at the conclusion of their current
term, which expires at the conclusion of the Annual Meeting. Each of Ms. Perrotty and Governor Rendell have advised the Company that their
decisions not to stand for re-election are for personal reasons and not the result of any disagreements with the Company on any matter
regarding the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On April 2, 2026, the
Company issued a press release announcing the retirement of Ms. Perrotty and Governor Rendell from the Board.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit
99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Such press release shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose, including for the
purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the
liabilities of that Section. The information in Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into
any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, regardless of any general incorporation language in such
filing.
The statements
in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the anticipated composition of the Board following the Annual Meeting. These
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the outcome to be materially different. The words such as
“may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,”
“estimates,” “projects,” “potential,” “predicts,” “plans,” “intends,”
“would,” “could,” “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements,
although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number
of risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, which could cause actual results
to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include the risks
that any potential future acquisition or disposition by the Company is subject to market conditions, capital availability and timing considerations
and may not be identified or completed on favorable terms, or at all. Some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and
uncertainties, that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those presented in its forward-looking statements
are set forth in the “Risk Factors” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” sections
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and all of its other filings with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission, as such risks, uncertainties and other important factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s
subsequent reports. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation
to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to
future operating results over time, unless required by law.
