Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 30, 2025,
Global Net Lease, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that S&P Global has upgraded its corporate
credit rating to BB+ from BB following the sale of its multi-tenant portfolio, as well as raised the Company’s issue-level rating
on its unsecured notes to an investment-grade BBB- from BB+.
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. 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.
