NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Organization
Global Net Lease, Inc. (the “Company”) is an externally managed real estate investment trust for United States (“U.S.”) federal income tax purposes (“REIT”) that focuses on acquiring and managing a globally diversified portfolio of strategically-located commercial real estate properties, which consist primarily of “Investment Grade” tenants (defined below). The Company invests in commercial properties, with an emphasis on sale-leaseback transactions and mission-critical, single tenant net-lease assets.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company owned 311 properties consisting of 39.5 million rentable square feet, which were 98.9% leased, with a weighted-average remaining lease term of 8.3 years. Based on the percentage of annualized rental income on a straight-line basis as of June 30, 2022, 62% of the Company’s properties are located in the U.S. and Canada and 38% in Europe. In addition, the Company’s portfolio was comprised of 55% industrial/distribution properties, 42% office properties and 3% retail properties. These percentages are calculated using annualized straight-line rent converted from local currency into the U.S. Dollar (“USD”) as of June 30, 2022. The straight-line rent includes amounts for tenant concessions.
Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through the Global Net Lease Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company has retained Global Net Lease Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) to manage the Company’s affairs on a day-to-day basis. The Company’s properties are managed and leased to third parties by Global Net Lease Properties, LLC (the “Property Manager”). The Advisor and the Property Manager are under common control with AR Global Investments, LLC (“AR Global”), and these related parties receive compensation and fees for various services provided to the Company.
“Investment Grade” includes both actual investment grade ratings of the tenant or guarantor, if available, or implied investment grade. Implied investment grade may include actual ratings of the tenant parent, guarantor parent (regardless of whether or not the parent has guaranteed the tenant’s obligation under the lease) or tenants that are identified as investment grade by using a proprietary Moody’s analytical tool, which generates an implied rating by measuring an entity’s probability of default.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information furnished includes all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year or any subsequent interim period.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 24, 2022. Except for those required by new accounting pronouncements discussed below, there have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2022, other than those relating to new accounting pronouncements (see “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” section below).
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the OP and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the other partners or members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are held by the OP.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
9
GLOBAL NET LEASE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
(Unaudited)
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes significant estimates regarding revenue recognition, purchase price allocations to record investments in real estate, income taxes, derivative financial instruments, hedging activities, equity-based compensation expenses related to the multi-year outperformance agreements entered into with the Advisor in 2018 (the “2018 OPP”) and in 2021 (the “2021 OPP”) and fair value measurements, as applicable.
Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The financial stability and overall health of the Company’s tenants is critical to its business. The negative effects that the global COVID-19 pandemic has had on the economy did impact the ability of some of the Company’s tenants to pay their monthly rent during 2020. The Company took a proactive approach, during that time, to seek mutually agreeable solutions with its tenants where necessary, and, in some cases, the Company executed rent deferral agreements in 2020 on leases with several tenants. The Company did not enter any rent deferral agreements in 2021 or the first six months of 2022.
For accounting purposes, in accordance with ASC 842, normally a company would be required to assess the modification to determine if the modification should be treated as a separate lease and if not, modification accounting would be applied which would require a company to reassess the classification of the lease (i.e. operating, direct financing or sales-type). However, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic due to which many leases were modified, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and SEC provided relief that allowed companies to make a policy election as to whether they treat COVID-19 related lease amendments as a provision included in the preconcession arrangement, and therefore, not a lease modification, or to treat a lease amendment as a modification. In order to qualify for the relief, the modifications must be COVID-19 related and cash flows must be substantially the same or less than those prior to the concession. The Company elected to use this relief where applicable. In those circumstances, the Company has accounted for these arrangements as if no changes to the lease contract were made. For those leases that do not qualify for the relief, the Company performs a lease modification analysis and if required, uses lease modification accounting.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues, which are derived primarily from lease contracts, include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the lease. As of June 30, 2022, these leases had a weighted-average remaining lease term of 8.3 years. Because many of the Company’s leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, straight-line basis accounting requires the Company to record a receivable for, and include in revenue from tenants, unbilled rent receivables that the Company will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease.
For new leases after acquisition of a property, the commencement date is considered to be the date the lease is executed and the tenant has access to the space. The Company defers the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. When the Company acquires a property, the acquisition date is considered to be the commencement date for purposes of this calculation for all leases in place at the time of acquisition. In addition to base rent, the Company’s lease agreements generally require tenants to pay or reimburse the Company for all property operating expenses, which primarily reflect insurance costs and real estate taxes incurred by the Company and subsequently reimbursed by the tenant. However, some limited property operating expenses that are not the responsibility of the tenant are absorbed by the Company. Under ASC 842, the Company has elected to report combined lease and non-lease components in a single line “Revenue from tenants.” For expenses paid directly by the tenant, under ASC 842, the Company has reflected them on a net basis.
The Company continually reviews receivables related to rent and unbilled rent receivables and determines collectability by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the credit worthiness and financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. Under lease accounting rules, the Company is required to assess, based on credit risk only, if it is probable that it will collect virtually all of the lease payments at the lease commencement date and it must continue to reassess collectability periodically thereafter based on new facts and circumstances affecting the credit risk of the tenant. Partial reserves, or the ability to assume partial recovery are no longer permitted. If the Company determines that it is probable it will collect virtually all of the lease payments (rent and common area maintenance), the lease will continue to be accounted for on an accrual basis (i.e. straight-line). However, if the Company determines it is not probable that it will collect virtually all of the lease payments, the lease will be accounted for on a cash basis and the straight-line rent receivable would be written off where it was subsequently concluded that collection was not probable. Cost recoveries from tenants are included in revenue from tenants on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in the period the related costs are incurred, as applicable.
On September 3, 2021, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with one of its tenants which required the tenant to pay the Company a termination fee of approximately £6.7 million (approximately $9.0 million based on the exchange rate as of the end of the lease term on January 4, 2022). This payment was received in January 2022, however it was recorded in
10

(Unaudited)
revenue from tenants evenly over the period from September 3, 2021 through the end of the lease term, and as a result, the Company recorded approximately £0.2 million (approximately $0.3 million) in revenue from tenants during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The termination fee was recorded in unbilled straight-line rent on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.
Accounting for Leases
Lessor Accounting
As a lessor of real estate, the Company has elected, by class of underlying assets, to account for lease and non-lease components (such as tenant reimbursements of property operating expenses) as a single lease component as an operating lease because (a) the non-lease components have the same timing and pattern of transfer as the associated lease component; and (b) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Additionally, only incremental direct leasing costs may be capitalized under the accounting guidance. Indirect leasing costs in connection with new or extended tenant leases, if any, are being expensed as incurred.
Lessee Accounting
For lessees, the accounting standard requires the application of a dual lease classification approach, classifying leases as either operating or finance leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, while lease expense for finance leases is recognized based on an effective interest method over the term of the lease. Also, lessees must recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Further, certain transactions where at inception of the lease the buyer-lessor accounted for the transaction as a purchase of real estate and a new lease, may now be required to have symmetrical accounting to the seller-lessee if the transaction was not a qualified sale-leaseback and accounted for as a financing transaction. For additional information and disclosures related to the Company’s operating leases, see Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
If circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the asset for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss is the adjustment to fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net earnings.
Goodwill
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually or upon the occurrence of a triggering event. A triggering event is an event or circumstance that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The Company determined that the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic represented a triggering event, and, as such, performed an updated goodwill assessment during the first quarter of 2020. Based on the Company’s assessment, it determined that the goodwill was not impaired at the time of the triggering event evaluation. The Company also performed its annual goodwill impairment evaluation in the fourth quarter of 2021 and determined that goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2021. There were no material changes to this assessment as of June 30, 2022.
Derivative Instruments
The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. In addition, all foreign currency denominated borrowings under the Company’s Credit Facility (as defined in Note 5 — Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan, Net) are designated as net investment hedges. Certain of the Company’s foreign operations expose the Company to fluctuations of foreign interest rates and exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of the Company’s cash receipts and payments in the Company’s functional currency, the USD. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments in an effort to protect the value or fix the amount of certain obligations in terms of its functional currency.
The Company records all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in
11
GLOBAL NET LEASE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
(Unaudited)
a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in foreign operations. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
The accounting for subsequent changes in the fair value of these derivatives depends on whether each has been designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. If the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting treatment (or for derivatives that do not qualify as hedges), any changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments is recognized immediately in gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. If a derivative is designated and qualifies for cash flow hedge accounting treatment, the change in the estimated fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) to the extent that it is effective.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company has a stock-based incentive plan under which its directors, officers and other employees of the Advisor, or its affiliates who are involved in providing services to the Company are eligible to receive awards. Awards granted thereunder are accounted for under the guidance for employee share based payments. The cost of services received in exchange for a stock award is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and the expense for such awards is included in equity-based compensation on consolidated statements of operations and is recognized over the vesting period or when the requirements for exercise of the award have been met (see Note 13 — Equity-Based Compensation for additional information).
Multi-Year Outperformance Agreements
Following the end of the performance period under the 2018 OPP on June 2, 2021, the Company entered into the 2021 OPP with the Advisor (see Note 13 — Equity-Based Compensation). Under the 2018 OPP, which became effective June 2, 2018, the Company recorded equity-based compensation evenly over the requisite service period of approximately 2.8 years from the grant date. Under the 2021 OPP, which became effective June 2, 2021, the Company is recording equity-based compensation evenly over the requisite service period of approximately 3.1 years from May 3, 2021, the date that the Company’s independent directors approved the award of long-term incentive plan units of limited partner interest in the OP (“LTIP Units”) under the 2021 OPP.
Under accounting guidance adopted by the Company on January 1, 2019, total equity-based compensation expense calculated as of the adoption of the new guidance is fixed and reflected as a charge to earnings over the remaining service period. Further, in the event of a modification, any incremental increase in the value of the instrument measured on the date of the modification both before and after the modification, will result in an incremental amount to be reflected prospectively as a charge to earnings over the remaining service period. The expense for these non-employee awards is included in the equity-based compensation line item of the consolidated statements of operations. For additional information on the original terms, a February 2019 modification of the 2018 OPP, and accounting for the awards under the 2018 OPP and 2021 OPP, see Note 13 — Equity-Based Compensation.
Income Taxes
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013. Commencing with such taxable year, the Company was organized to operate in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code and believes it has so qualified. The Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner to continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, but no assurance can be given that it will operate in a manner to remain qualified as a REIT. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes annually all of its REIT taxable income. REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements.
The Company conducts business in various states and municipalities within the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom and Western Europe and, as a result, the Company or one of its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and certain foreign jurisdictions. As a result, the Company may be subject to certain federal, state, local and foreign taxes on its income and assets, including alternative minimum taxes, taxes on any undistributed income and state, local or foreign income, franchise, property and transfer taxes. Any of these taxes decrease the Company’s earnings

(Unaudited)
and available cash. In addition, the Company’s international assets and operations, including those owned through direct or indirect subsidiaries that are disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, continue to be subject to taxation in the foreign jurisdictions where those assets are held or those operations are conducted.
Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s tax provision and in evaluating its tax positions. The Company establishes tax reserves based on a benefit recognition model, which the Company believes could result in a greater amount of benefit (and a lower amount of reserve) being initially recognized in certain circumstances. Provided that the tax position is deemed more likely than not of being sustained, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being ultimately realized upon settlement. The Company derecognizes the tax position when the likelihood of the tax position being sustained is no longer more likely than not.
The Company recognizes deferred income taxes in certain of its subsidiaries taxable in the U.S. or in foreign jurisdictions. Deferred income taxes are generally the result of temporary differences (items that are treated differently for tax purposes than for GAAP purposes). In addition, deferred tax assets arise from unutilized tax net operating losses, generated in prior years. The Company provides a valuation allowance against its deferred income tax assets when it believes that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred income tax asset may not be realized. Whenever a change in circumstances causes a change in the estimated realizability of the related deferred income tax asset, the resulting increase or decrease in the valuation allowance is included in deferred income tax expense (benefit).
The Company derives most of its REIT taxable income from its real estate operations in the U.S. and has historically distributed all of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders. As such, the Company’s real estate operations are generally not subject to U.S. federal tax, and accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. federal income taxes in the consolidated financial statements for these operations. These operations may be subject to certain state, local, and foreign taxes, as applicable.
The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are primarily the result of temporary differences related to the following:
•Basis differences between tax and GAAP for certain international real estate investments. For income tax purposes, in certain acquisitions, the Company assumes the seller’s basis, or the carry-over basis, in the acquired assets. The carry-over basis is typically lower than the purchase price, or the GAAP basis, resulting in a deferred tax liability with an offsetting increase to goodwill or the acquired tangible or intangible assets;
•Timing differences generated by differences in the GAAP basis and the tax basis of assets such as those related to capitalized acquisition costs and depreciation expense; and
•Tax net operating losses in certain subsidiaries, including those domiciled in foreign jurisdictions that may be realized in future periods if the respective subsidiary generates sufficient taxable income.
The Company recognizes current income tax expense for state and local income taxes and taxes incurred in its foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s current income tax expense fluctuates from period to period based primarily on the timing of its taxable income.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted as of January 1, 2022:
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Topic 470) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Topic 815). The new standard reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, and amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity. The standard also amends and makes targeted improvements to the related earnings per share guidance. The ASU became effective for the Company January 1, 2022, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Pending Adoption as of June 30, 2022:
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. Topic 848 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform-related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives, and other contracts. The guidance in Topic 848 is optional and may be elected over the period from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 as reference rate reform activities occur. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

Acquired Intangible Lease Assets
The Company allocates a portion of the fair value of real estate acquired to identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of origination costs (tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and legal and marketing costs), the value of above-market and below-market leases, and the value of tenant relationships, if applicable, based in each case on their relative fair values. The Company periodically assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the intangible assets may be impaired by performing a net present value analysis of future cash flows, discounted for the inherent risk associated with each investment. The Company recorded impairment charges of $0.5 million to its in-place intangible assets and $0.2 million to its below-market lease intangible liabilities, both associated with its real estate investments during the three and six months ended June 30 2022. The Company did not record any impairments of intangible lease assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Assets Held for Sale
When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company stops recognizing depreciation and amortization expense on the identified assets and estimates the sales price, net of costs to sell, of those assets. If the carrying amount of the

assets classified as held for sale exceeds the estimated net sales price, the Company records an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the Company’s estimate of the net sales price of the assets.
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company agreed to terms to sell a property in Houston Texas. As of June 30, 2022, the Company evaluated this asset for held for sale classification and determined that it qualified for held for sale treatment based on the Company's accounting policies. Because this asset is considered held for sale, the operating results of this property remain classified within continuing operations for all periods presented. As of December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any properties that were classified as held for sale.

Impairment Charges
As of June 30, 2022, we began an operational review of one of our properties located in France and concluded that the estimated fair value was lower than its carrying value. We recorded an impairment charge of $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2022, based on the estimated selling price of the asset. As of June 30, 2021, we had determined that the estimated fair values of two of our properties were lower than their respective carrying values. The impairment charges in the quarter ended June 30, 2021 of $6.7 million was based on the estimated selling prices of both assets.

Dispositions
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company sold one property in the U.K. for a gain of $0.1 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company did not sell any properties.
Significant Tenants
There were no tenants whose annualized rental income on a straight-line basis represented 10.0% or greater of consolidated annualized rental income on a straight-line basis for all properties as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The termination, delinquency or non-renewal of leases by any major tenant may have a material adverse effect on revenues.

Multi-Tenant Mortgage Loan III
During the three months ended December 31, 2020, a major tenant failed to renew its lease triggering a cash sweep event under one of the Company’s mortgage loans secured by seven of the Company’s properties with a balance of $98.5 million as of June 30, 2022. The event triggering the cash sweep was not, however, an event of default. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company cured the cash sweep event through one of the available options under the loan by putting a $3.2 million letter of credit in place (subject to future increase under the terms of the loan agreement, to a maximum amount of $7.4 million). During the third quarter of 2021, the amount of the letter of credit was increased by an additional $4.2 million, resulting in the lender holding the $7.4 million maximum amount in respect to this obligation as of September 30, 2021. This $7.4 million letter of credit is being held by the lender until such time the Company is able to find a suitable replacement tenant and it reduces the availability for future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The borrower entities under the same mortgage loan believe, based upon a review conducted during the three months ended June 30, 2022, that during the three months ended March 31, 2022, they failed to maintain the debt service coverage ratio required by the loan agreement for such period (a “DSCR Trigger Event”) and believe that such failure, if confirmed by lender, would trigger a separate cash sweep event under the loan. A DSCR Trigger Event, if triggered, is not an event of default and instead triggers a cash sweep event. To date the lender has not notified the borrower entities of the occurrence of a DSCR Trigger Event under the loan. Per the loan agreement the Company is able to cure a cash sweep event resulting from a DSCR Trigger Event by delivering a letter of credit in the face amount of the excess cash flow for the trailing three month immediately preceding the date of the DSCR Trigger Event. Such letter of credit is thereafter recalculated and increased (but never decreased) every three month period thereafter until such time as the borrowers demonstrate compliance with the debt service coverage ratio required by the loan for a period of two consecutive calendar quarters. In the event the lender confirms the occurrence of a DSCR Trigger Event for the loan, the Company intends to deliver the letter of credit described above to lender to cure the cash sweep event resulting from such DSCR Trigger Event. Such letter of credit will be held by the lender until such time as the Company restores debt service coverage ratio compliance under the loan for the requisite two calendar quarter time period. Upon issuance, such letter of credit will reduce availability for future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
French Properties
During the second and third quarters of 2021, the Company also triggered a cash sweep under one of its loans with a balance of €70.0 million ($73.2 million) as of June 30, 2022 because the aggregate weighted average unexpired lease term (“WAULT”) of the collateral portfolio was less than three years. This was not an event of default and instead triggered a cash sweep event. For so long as the cash sweep is in effect, the lender is sweeping 30% of excess cash flow and retaining such

amount in an excess cash collateral account. As of June 30, 2022, the amount of cash swept was €4.7 million ($4.9 million) and is recorded in restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
If and when the aggregate WAULT of the loan collateral again exceeds three years the cash sweep will cease (so long as the aggregate WAULT of the loan collateral thereafter continues to exceed three years). The lender will be required to release all funds retained by the lender in the excess cash flow account in respect of this WAULT cash sweep upon the loan collateral achieving an aggregate WAULT of not less than four years. Per the terms of the applicable loan agreement, the funds held in the excess cash flow account are included for purposes of the calculation of the loan to value ratio.
Multi-Tenant Mortgage Loan IV
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, a tenant exercised its right to terminate its lease effective December 31, 2022. Notice of the termination triggered a lease sweep event, which began in the fourth quarter of 2021, under one of the Company’s mortgage loans. This was not, however, an event of default. The mortgage loan had a balance of $97.5 million as of June 30, 2022 and it encumbers 16 properties, one of which is leased by the tenant that exercised its right to terminate its lease. Pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement, the lender is sweeping all cash flow attributable to the lease that triggered the lease sweep event into a rollover reserve account in an amount up to, but not to exceed, an aggregate cap of $0.8 million. The reserve will be held by the lender who is required to make the reserve funds available to the Company to fund re-tenanting expenses for the property. The lease sweep event will be cured under the loan agreement if and when the Company leases the space to a new tenant approved by the lender and, at such time, any amounts remaining in the rollover reserve account in respect of the lease sweep event will be released to the Company.
McLaren Loan
In April 2021, the Company partially funded its acquisition of the McLaren properties with a loan secured by a mortgage in the amount of £101.0 million ($122.7 million as of June 30, 2022). The maturity date of the loan is April 23, 2024 and it bears interest at 6.0% per annum. The loan is interest-only with the principal due at maturity. The Company recorded a discount of approximately $3.1 million related to this mortgage.
Note 5 — Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan, Net
The table below details the outstanding balances as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 under the credit agreement with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), as agent, and the other lender parties thereto which was originally entered into on July 24, 2017 and has been amended from time to time (the “Credit Facility”). On April 8, 2022, the Company, KeyBank and the other lender parties thereto amended and restated the Credit Facility.
Following the closing of the amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility, the Credit Facility consists solely of the senior unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The amount previously outstanding under the senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) was converted to the Revolving Credit Facility upon the amendment and restatement. In addition, the aggregate total commitments under the Credit Facility were increased from $1.17 billion to $1.45 billion, with a $50.0 million sublimit for letters of credit, a $50.0 million sublimit for swing loans and $100.0 million of which can only be used for U.S. dollar loans. The Credit Facility includes an uncommitted “accordion feature” whereby, so long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company has the option to increase the commitments under the Credit Facility, allocated to either or both the Revolving Credit Facility or a new term loan facility, by up to an additional $500.0 million, subject to obtaining commitments from new lenders or additional commitments from participating lenders and certain customary conditions. The Company incurred approximately $10.1 million of deferred financing costs during the second quarter of 2022 related to the April 2022 amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility.
Also, on July 26, 2022, the Company entered into another amendment to the Credit Facility (see Note 15 — Subsequent Events for additional information).

Credit Facility - Terms
The Credit Facility requires payments of interest only prior to maturity. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate per annum based on an applicable margin that varies based on the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated total asset value of the Company and its subsidiaries plus either (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) or (ii) the applicable Benchmark Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) for the currency being borrowed. Following the amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility, the applicable interest rate margin is based on a range from 0.30% to 0.90% per annum with respect to Base Rate borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and 1.30% to 1.90% per annum with respect to Benchmark Rate borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. These spreads reflect a reduction pursuant to the amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility from the previously applicable spreads (see below). For Benchmark Rate Loans denominated in Dollars that bear interest calculated by reference to Term SOFR, there is an additional spread adjustment depending on the length of the interest period. In addition, pursuant to the amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility, (i) if the Company achieves an investment grade credit rating from at least two rating agencies, the OP can elect for the spread to be based on the credit rating of the Company, and (ii) the “floor” on the applicable Benchmark is 0%. As of June 30, 2022, the Credit Facility had a weighted-average effective interest rate of 2.9% after giving effect to interest rate swaps in place.
Following the amendment and restatement, the Credit Facility now matures on October 8, 2026, subject to the Company’s option, subject to customary conditions, to extend the maturity date by up to two additional six-month terms. Previously, the Credit Facility had been scheduled to mature in August 2023, subject to the Company extension options. Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage costs associated with borrowings for the applicable Benchmark Rate.

Prior to the amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility, the Credit Facility consisted of two components, a Revolving Credit Facility and a Term Loan, both of which required payment of interest-only. The Revolving Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on August 1, 2023, and the Term Loan was scheduled to mature on August 1, 2024. Prior to the amendment and restatement, borrowings under the Credit Facility bore interest at a variable rate per annum based on an applicable margin that varied based on the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness and the consolidated total asset value of the Company and its subsidiaries plus either (i) LIBOR, as applicable to the currency being borrowed, or (ii) a “base rate” equal to the greatest of (a) KeyBank’s “prime rate,” (b) 0.5% above the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or (c) 1.0% above one-month LIBOR. The applicable interest rate margin was based on a range from 0.45% to 1.05% per annum with respect to base rate borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, 1.45% to 2.05% per annum with respect to LIBOR borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, 0.40% to 1.00% per annum with respect to base rate borrowings under the Term Loan and 1.40% to 2.00% per annum with respect to LIBOR borrowings under the Term Loan.
The Credit Facility requires the Company through the OP to pay an unused fee per annum of 0.25% of the unused balance of the Revolving Credit Facility if the unused balance exceeds or is equal to 50% of the total commitment or a fee per annum of 0.15% of the unused balance of the Revolving Credit Facility if the unused balance is less than 50% of the total commitment. From and after the time the Company obtains an investment grade credit rating, the unused fee will be replaced with a facility fee based on the total commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility multiplied by 0.30%, decreasing as the Company’s credit rating increases.
The Credit Facility is supported by a pool of eligible unencumbered properties that are owned by the subsidiaries of the OP that serve as guarantors. The availability of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility continues to be based on the value of a pool of eligible unencumbered real estate assets owned by the Company and compliance with various ratios related to those assets, and the amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility also included amendments to provisions governing the calculation of the value of the borrowing base. As of June 30, 2022, approximately $85.8 million was available for future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Any future borrowings may, at the option of the Company, be denominated in USD, Euros (“EUR”), Canadian Dollars, British Pounds Sterling (“GBP”) or Swiss Francs. Amounts borrowed may not, however, be converted to, or repaid in, another currency once borrowed.
The Credit Facility contains events of default relating to customary matters, including, among other things, payment defaults, covenant defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, events of default under other material indebtedness, material judgments, bankruptcy events and change of control events, such as certain changes to the composition of the Company’s board of directors and management. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, a majority of the lenders have the right to accelerate the payment on any outstanding borrowings and other obligations.
The Company, through the OP, may reduce the amount committed under the Revolving Credit Facility and repay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs payable on index borrowings. In the event of a default, lenders have the right to terminate their obligations under the Credit Facility agreement and to accelerate the payment on any unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans. The Credit Facility contains various customary operating covenants, including covenants restricting, among other things, restricted payments (including dividends and share repurchases (see additional information below), the incurrence of liens, the types of investments the Company may make, fundamental changes, agreements with affiliates and changes in nature of business. The Credit Facility also contains financial maintenance covenants with respect to maximum consolidated leverage, maximum consolidated secured leverage, minimum fixed charge coverage, maximum secured recourse debt, maximum unencumbered leverage, unencumbered debt service coverage and minimum net worth. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility.
Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company may not pay distributions, including cash dividends payable with respect to the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), the Company’s 7.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), its 6.875% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock $0.01 par value per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”) or any other class or series of stock the Company may issue in the future, or redeem or otherwise repurchase shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or any other class or series of stock the Company may issue in the future that exceed 100% of the Company’s Adjusted FFO, as defined in the Credit Facility (which is different from AFFO disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, except in limited circumstances, including that for one fiscal quarter in each calendar year, the Company may pay cash dividends and other distributions, and make redemptions and other repurchases in an aggregate amount equal to no more than 105% of its Adjusted FFO. From and after the time the Company obtains and continues to maintain an investment grade rating, the limitation on distributions discussed above will not be applicable. The Company last used the exception to pay dividends that were between 100% of Adjusted FFO and 105% of Adjusted FFO during the quarter ended on June 30, 2020, may use this exception in the future.

GLOBAL NET LEASE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
The Company’s ability to comply with the restrictions on the payment of distributions in the Credit Facility depends on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows that in the applicable periods exceed the level of Adjusted FFO required by these restrictions. If the Company is not able to generate the necessary level of Adjusted FFO, the Company will have to reduce the amount of dividends paid on the common and the preferred stock or consider other actions. Alternatively, the Company could elect to pay a portion of its dividends on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock if approved by the Company’s board of directors.
The Company and certain subsidiaries of the OP acting as guarantors (the “Guarantors”) have guaranteed, and any wholly owned eligible direct or indirect subsidiary of the OP that directly or indirectly owns or leases a real estate asset added to the pool of eligible unencumbered properties required to be maintained under the Credit Facility is required to guarantee, the OP’s obligations under the Credit Facility. For any Guarantor subsidiary of the OP, this guarantee will be released if the Company achieves an investment grade credit rating from at least one rating agency, but will again be required (i) if the Company loses its investment grade credit rating, or (ii) with respect to any Guarantor subsidiary of the Company, for so long as the subsidiary is the primary obligor under or provides a guaranty to any holder of unsecured indebtedness.
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have guaranteed the OP’s obligations under the Credit Facility pursuant to one or more guarantees (collectively, the “Guaranty”) and a related contribution agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) which governs contribution rights of the Guarantors in the event any amounts become payable under the Guaranty. In connection with the amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility, the Guaranty and the Contribution Agreement were also amended.
Note 6 — Senior Notes, Net
On December 16, 2020, the Company and the OP issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Senior Notes”). In connection with the closing of the offering of the Senior Notes, the Company, the OP and their subsidiaries that guarantee the Senior Notes entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amount of the Senior Notes on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet totaled $492.4 million and $491.7 million, respectively, which is net of $7.6 million and $8.3 million of deferred financing costs, respectively. The Senior Notes, which were issued at par, will mature on December 15, 2027 and accrue interest at a rate of 3.750% per year. Interest on the Senior Notes, which began to accrue on December 16, 2020, is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The first payment was made on June 15, 2021.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Indenture governing the Senior Notes. Additional information on the terms of the Senior Notes can be found in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022.
Note 7 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability and those inputs are significant.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be rare.

GLOBAL NET LEASE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
(Unaudited)
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with those derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The valuation of derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company’s potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the counterparties.
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities (including derivatives that are presented net) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those instruments fall.

A review of the fair value hierarchy classification is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021.
Financial Instruments not Measured at Fair Value
The carrying value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, due to/from related parties, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and dividends payable approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature.
•The gross carrying value of the Company’s mortgage notes payable as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $1.4 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, which approximated their fair value. The fair value of gross mortgage notes payable is based on estimates of market interest rates. This approach relies on unobservable inputs and therefore is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Note 8 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. Certain of the Company’s foreign operations expose the Company to fluctuations of foreign interest rates and exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of the Company’s cash receipts and payments in terms of the Company’s functional currency. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain obligations in terms of its functional currency, the USD.
The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative or other purposes other than interest rate and currency risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that any counterparty to a contractual arrangement may not be able to perform under the agreement. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into a derivative financial instrument with a counterparty with a high credit rating with a major financial institution which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships with. The Company does not anticipate that any such counterparty will fail to meet its obligations, but there is no assurance that any counterparty will meet these obligations.
The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
All of the changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction impacts earnings. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt.
23
GLOBAL NET LEASE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
(Unaudited)
Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. In the second quarter of 2022 the Company accelerated the reclassification of amounts in other comprehensive income to earnings as a result of certain hedged forecasted transactions becoming probable not to occur. The accelerated amount was a gain of $2.4 million recorded in unrealized income on undesignated foreign currency advances and other hedge ineffectiveness in the Company’s consolidated income statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. During the next 12 months ending June 30, 2023, the Company estimates that an additional $5.3 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income as an increase to interest expense.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Net Investment Hedges
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on property investments in foreign countries which pay rental income, incur property related expenses and borrow in currencies other than its functional currency, the USD. For derivatives designated as net investment hedges, all of the changes in the fair value of the derivatives, including the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives, if any, are reported in AOCI (outside of earnings) as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. Amounts are reclassified out of AOCI into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Company did not have foreign currency derivatives that were designated as net investment hedges used to hedge its net investments in foreign operations and during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company did not use foreign currency derivatives that were designated as net investment hedges.
Foreign Denominated Debt Designated as Net Investment Hedges
All foreign currency denominated borrowings under the Credit Facility are designated as net investment hedges. As such, the designated portion of changes in value due to currency fluctuations are reported in AOCI (outside of earnings) as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. The remeasurement gains and losses attributable to the undesignated portion of the foreign currency denominated debt are recognized directly in earnings. Amounts are reclassified out of AOCI into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated, or if the Company should no longer possess a controlling interest. The Company records adjustments to earnings for currency impacts related to undesignated excess positions, if any. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any undesignated excess positions.
Non-designated Derivatives
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rates of its functional currency, the USD, against the GBP and the EUR. The Company has used and may continue to use foreign currency derivatives, including options, currency forward and

cross currency swap agreements, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in GBP-USD and EUR-USD exchange rates. While these derivatives are economically hedging the fluctuations in foreign currencies, they do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements to be classified as hedging instruments. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges under qualifying hedging relationships are recorded directly in net income (loss). The Company recorded gains of $10.3 million and $14.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and losses of $0.5 million and gains of $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had the following outstanding derivatives that were not designated as hedges under qualifying hedging relationships.

In addition to the above derivative arrangements, the Company also uses non-derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations as part of its risk management program, including foreign denominated debt issued and outstanding with third parties to protect the value of its net investments in foreign subsidiaries against exchange rate fluctuations. The Company has drawn, and expects to continue to draw, foreign currency advances under the Credit Facility to fund certain investments in the respective local currency which creates a natural hedge against the original equity invested in the real estate investments, removing the need for the final cross currency swaps. 
Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.
As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements was $0.02 million. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and was not in breach of any agreement provisions. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their aggregate termination value.

Dividends
Common Stock Dividends
During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid dividends on its common stock at an annual rate of $1.60 per share or $0.40 per share on a quarterly basis.
Dividends authorized by the Company’s board of directors and declared by the Company are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears on the 15th day of the first month following the end of each fiscal quarter (unless otherwise specified) to common stockholders of record on the record date for such payment. The Company’s board of directors may alter the amounts of dividends paid or suspend dividend payments at any time prior to declaration and therefore dividend payments are not assured. For purposes of the presentation of information herein, the Company may refer to distributions by the OP on OP Units and LTIP Units as dividends. In addition, see Note 5 — Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan, Net for additional information on the restrictions on the payment of dividends and other distributions imposed by the Credit Facility.
Series A Preferred Stock Dividends
Dividends on Series A Preferred Stock accrue in an amount equal to $0.453125 per share per quarter to Series A Preferred Stock holders, which is equivalent to 7.25% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock per annum. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year (or, if not on a business day, on the next succeeding business day) to holders of record at the close of business on the record date set by the Company’s board of directors.
Series B Preferred Stock Dividends
Dividends on Series B Preferred Stock accrue in an amount equal to $0.429688 per share per quarter to Series B Preferred Stock holders, which is equivalent to 6.875% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of Series B Preferred Stock per annum.

Stockholder Rights Plan
In April 2020, the Company announced that its board of directors approved a stockholder rights plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is intended to allow the Company to realize the long-term value of the Company’s assets by protecting the Company from the actions of third parties that the Company’s board determines are not in the best interest of the Company. In connection with the adoption of the Plan, the Company’s board of directors authorized a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of Common Stock to stockholders of record on April 20, 2020 to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series C Preferred Stock for an exercise price of $50.00, once the rights become exercisable, subject to adjustment as provided in the related rights agreement. By the terms of the Plan, the rights will initially trade with Common Stock and will generally only become exercisable on the 10th business day after the Company’s board of directors become aware that a person or entity has become the owner of 4.9% or more of the shares of Common Stock or the commencement of a tender or exchange offer which would result in the offeror becoming an owner of 4.9% or more of the Common Stock. The Plan expires April 8, 2024, unless earlier exercised, exchanged, amended redeemed or terminated. The adoption of the Plan did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and its earnings per share.

Company was required to estimate an appropriate incremental borrowing rate on a fully-collateralized basis for the terms of the leases. Since the terms of the Company’s ground leases are significantly longer than the terms of borrowings available to the Company on a fully-collateralized basis, the Company’s estimate of this rate required significant judgment.
The Company’s ground operating leases have a weighted-average remaining lease term of approximately 29.8 years and a weighted-average discount rate of 4.39% as of June 30, 2022. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company paid cash of approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities and recorded expense of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, on a straight-line basis in accordance with the standard. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company paid cash of approximately $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities and recorded expense of $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, on a straight-line basis in accordance with the standard.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no unpaid distributions on the LTIP Units.
Fees Paid in Connection with the Operations of the Company
Under the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), by and among the Company, the OP and the Advisor, the Company pays the Advisor the following fees in cash:
(a)    a base fee of $18.0 million per annum payable in cash monthly in advance (“Minimum Base Management Fee”); and
(b)    a variable fee amount equal to 1.25% per annum of the sum, since the effective date of the Advisory Agreement in June 2015, of: (i) the cumulative net proceeds of all common equity issued by the Company (ii) any equity of the Company issued in exchange for or conversion of preferred stock or exchangeable notes, based on the stock price at the date of issuance; and (iii) any other issuances of common, preferred, or other forms of equity of the Company, including units in an operating partnership (excluding equity based compensation but including issuances related to an acquisition, investment, joint-venture or partnership) (the “Variable Base Management Fee”).
The Company will pay the Advisor any Incentive Compensation (as defined in the Advisory Agreement), generally payable in quarterly installments 50% in cash and 50% in shares of Common Stock (subject to certain lock up restrictions). The Advisor did not earn any Incentive Compensation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021. The Advisory Agreement was amended on May 6, 2021 as described below (the “2021 Amendment”), but prior thereto, the Incentive Compensation was generally calculated on an annual basis for the 12-month period from July 1 to June 30 of each year. Pursuant to the 2021 Amendment, the 12-month period is now measured from January 1 to December 31 of each year, commencing with the 12-month period ended December 31, 2021. After the end of each performance period, the Incentive Compensation is subject to a final adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement based on the difference, if any, between the amount of Incentive Compensation paid to the Advisor during the year and the amount actually earned by the Advisor at the end of the year. In connection with any adjustments, shares of Common Stock that were issued as a portion of any quarterly installment payment are retained and, for purposes of any repayment required to be made by the Advisor, have the value they had at the time of issuance and are adjusted in respect of any dividend or other distribution received with respect to those shares to allow recoupment of the same.
The Incentive Compensation can be earned by the Advisor based on the Company’s achievement relative to two threshold levels of Core AFFO Per Share(1): the Incentive Fee Lower Hurdle (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) and the Incentive Fee Upper Hurdle (as defined in the Advisory Agreement).
Under the Advisory Agreement, prior to the 2021 Amendment, the Incentive Fee Lower Hurdle was equal to (a) $1.6875 per share in the aggregate and $0.5625 per share per quarter for the period beginning July 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020, (b) $1.35 per share in the aggregate and $0.45 per share per quarter for the period beginning April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, (c) $1.125 per share in the aggregate and $0.5625 per share per quarter for the period which began January 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2021, and (d) $2.25 per share in the aggregate and $0.5625 per share per quarter for the annual period beginning July 1, 2021. Following the 2021 Amendment, the Incentive Fee Lower Hurdle is equal to (i) $1.95 per share in the aggregate and $0.4875 per share per quarter for the annual period beginning January 1, 2021, and (ii) $2.25 per share in the aggregate and $0.5625 per share per quarter for the annual period beginning January 1, 2022 and each annual period thereafter, subject to potential annual increases by the Company’s independent directors as described below.
In addition, prior to the 2021 Amendment, the Incentive Fee Upper Hurdle was equal to (a) $2.19 per share in the aggregate and $0.73 per share per quarter for the period beginning July 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020, (b) $1.75 per share in the aggregate and $0.583 per share per quarter for the period beginning April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, (c) $1.46 per share in the aggregate and $0.73 per share per quarter for the period beginning January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021, and (d) $2.92 per share in the aggregate and $0.73 per share per quarter for the annual period beginning July 1, 2021. Following the 2021 Amendment, the Incentive Fee Upper Hurdle is equal to (i) $2.62 per share in the aggregate and $0.655 per share per quarter for the annual period which began January 1, 2021, and (ii) $2.92 per share in the aggregate and $0.73 per share per quarter for the annual period which began January 1, 2022 and each annual period thereafter, subject to potential annual increases by the Company’s independent directors as described below.
Prior to the 2021 Amendment, July 1, 2021 was the first date that the annual thresholds were subject to annual increases by a majority of the Company’s independent directors (in their good faith reasonable judgment, after consultation with the
29

Advisor). The 2021 Amendment extended this date to January 1, 2023. The percentage at which independent directors may so increase the thresholds remains a percentage equal to between 0% and 3%. In addition, the 2021 Amendment extended from August 2023 to May 2026, the first date on which the Advisor has a right to request that the Company’s independent directors reduce the then current Incentive Fee Lower Hurdle and Incentive Fee Upper Hurdle and make a determination whether any reduction in the annual thresholds is warranted. The Advisor will again have this right in May 2031 and then every five years thereafter.
The annual aggregate amount of the Minimum Base Management Fee and Variable Base Management Fee (collectively, the “Base Management Fee”) that may be paid under the Advisory Agreement are subject to varying caps based on assets under management (“AUM”)(2), as defined in the Advisory Agreement. The amount of the Base Management Fee to be paid under the Advisory Agreement is capped at the AUM for the preceding year multiplied by (a) 0.75% if equal to or less than $3.0 billion; (b) 0.75% less (i) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the AUM for such specified period less $3.0 billion and (y) the denominator of which is $11.7 billion multiplied by 0.35% if AUM is greater than $3.0 billion but less than $14.6 billion; or (c) 0.4% if equal to or greater than $14.7 billion.
_________
(1)For purposes of the Advisory Agreement, Core AFFO Per Share means for the applicable period (i) net income adjusted for the following items (to the extent they are included in net income): (a) real estate related depreciation and amortization; (b) net income from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures; (c) one-time costs that the Advisor deems to be non-recurring; (d) non-cash equity compensation (other than any Restricted Share Payments (as defined in the Advisory Agreement)); (e) other non-cash income and expense items; (f) certain non-cash interest expenses related to securities that are convertible to Common Stock; (g) gain (or loss) from the sale of investments; (h) impairment loss on real estate; (i) acquisition and transaction related costs (known as acquisition, transaction and other costs on the face of the Company’s income statement); (j) straight-line rent; (k) amortization of above and below market leases assets and liabilities; (l) amortization of deferred financing costs; (m) accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; (n) marked-to-market adjustments included in net income; (o) unrealized gain (loss) resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, (p) consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and (q) Incentive Compensation, (ii) divided by the weighted-average outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis for such period.
(2)For purposes of the Advisory Agreement, AUM means, for a specified period, an amount equal to (A) (i) the aggregate costs of the Company’s investments (including acquisition fees and expenses) at the beginning of such period (before reserves for depreciation of bad debts, or similar non-cash reserves) plus (ii) the aggregate cost of the Company’s investment at the end of such period (before reserves from depreciation or bad debts, or similar non-cash reserves) divided by (B) two (2).
In addition, the per annum aggregate amount of the Base Management Fee and the Incentive Compensation to be paid under the Advisory Agreement is capped at (a) 1.25% of the AUM for the previous year if AUM is less than or equal to $5.0 billion; (b) 0.95% if the AUM is equal to or exceeds $15.0 billion; or (c) a percentage equal to: (A) 1.25% less (B) (i) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the AUM for such specified period less $5.0 billion and (y) the denominator of which is $10.0 billion multiplied by (ii) 0.30% if AUM is greater than $5.0 billion but less than $15.0 billion. The Variable Base Management Fee is also subject to reduction if there is a sale or sales of one or more Investments in a single or series of related transactions exceeding $200.0 million and a special dividend(s) related thereto is paid to stockholders.
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Company has also agreed to reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Advisor and its affiliates, and the directors, officers, employees, partners, members, stockholders, other equity holders, agents and representatives of the Advisor and its affiliates (each, an “Advisor Indemnified Party”), of and from any and all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in respect of or arising from any acts or omissions of the Advisor Indemnified Party performed in good faith under the Advisory Agreement and not constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duties on the part of the Advisor Indemnified Party. In addition, the Company has agreed to advance funds to an Advisor Indemnified Party for reasonable legal fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred as a result of any claim, suit, action or proceeding for which indemnification is being sought, subject to repayment if the Advisor Indemnified Party is later found pursuant to a final and non-appealable order or judgment to not be entitled to indemnification.
Property Management Fees
The Property Manager provides property management and leasing services for properties owned by the Company, for which the Company pays fees to the Property Manager equal to: (i) with respect to stand-alone, single-tenant net leased properties which are not part of a shopping center, 2.0% of gross revenues from the properties managed and (ii) with respect to all other types of properties, 4.0% of gross revenues from the properties managed in each case plus market-based leasing commissions applicable to the geographic location of the applicable property.

For services related to overseeing property management and leasing services provided by any person or entity that is not an affiliate of the Property Manager, the Company pays the Property Manager an oversight fee equal to 1.0% of gross revenues of the property managed. This oversight fee is no longer applicable to 39 of the Company’s properties which became subject to separate property management agreements with the Property Manager in connection with certain mortgage loans entered into by the Company in October 2017, April 2019 and September 2019 (the “ Loan Property PMLAs”) on otherwise nearly identical terms to the primary property and management leasing agreement (the “Primary PMLA”), which remains applicable to all other properties.
In February 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the Primary PMLA with the Property Manager, providing for automatic extensions for an unlimited number of successive one-year terms unless terminated by either party upon notice. Following this amendment, either the Company or the Property Manager may terminate the Primary PMLA at any time upon at least 12 months’ written notice prior to the applicable termination date. This termination notice period does not apply to the Loan Property PMLAs, which may be terminated by either the Company or the Property Manager upon 60 days’ written notice prior to end of the applicable term.
If cash flow generated by any of the Company’s properties is not sufficient to fund the costs and expenses incurred by the Property Manager in fulfilling its duties under the property management and leasing agreements, the Company is required to fund additional amounts. Costs and expenses that are the responsibility of the Company under the property management and leasing agreements include, without limitation, reasonable wages and salaries and other employee-related expenses of all on-site and off-site employees of the Property Manager who are engaged in the operation, management, maintenance and leasing of the properties and other out-of-pocket expenses which are directly related to the operation, management, maintenance and leasing of specific properties, but may not include the Property Manager’s general overhead and administrative expenses.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred leasing commissions to the Property Manager of $1.9 million, and, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $1.2 million and $2.1 million of leasing commissions to the Property Manager, respectively. These amounts are being expensed over the terms of the related leases. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, was recorded as an expense in property management fees (see table below). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, $42,000 and $85,000, respectively was recorded as an expense in property management fees (see table below).
Professional Fees and Other Reimbursements
The Company reimburses the Advisor or its affiliates for expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor or its affiliates in providing services to the Company under the Advisory Agreement, except for those expenses that are specifically the responsibility of the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement, such as salaries, bonus and other wages, payroll taxes and the cost of employee benefit plans of personnel of the Advisor and its affiliates (including the Company’s executive officers) who provide services to the Company under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor’s rent and general overhead expenses, the Advisor’s travel expenses (subject to certain exceptions), professional services fees incurred with respect to the Advisor for the operation of its business, insurance expenses (other than with respect to the Company’s directors and officers) and information technology expenses. In addition, these reimbursements are subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse the Advisor for any amount by which the Company’s operating expenses (including the asset management fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of (a) 2.0% of average invested assets and (b) 25.0% of net income, unless the excess amount is otherwise approved by the Company’s board of directors. The amount of expenses reimbursable for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 did not exceed these limits.
Fees Paid in Connection with the Liquidation of the Company’s Real Estate Assets
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Company is required to pay to the Advisor a fee in connection with net gain recognized by the Company in connection with the sale or similar transaction of any investment equal to 15% of the amount by which the gains from the sale of investments in the applicable month exceed the losses from the sale of investments in that month unless the proceeds from such transaction or series of transactions are reinvested in one or more investments within 180 days thereafter (the “Gain Fee”). The Gain Fee is calculated at the end of each month and paid, to the extent due, with the next installment of the Base Management Fee. The Gain Fee is calculated by aggregating all of the gains and losses from the preceding month. There was no Gain Fee paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021.

Note 12 — Economic Dependency
Under various agreements, the Company has engaged or will engage the Advisor, its affiliates and entities under common control with the Advisor, to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, supervision of the management and leasing of properties owned by the Company, asset acquisition and disposition decisions, accounting services, investor relations, transfer agency services, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company.
As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon the Advisor and its affiliates. In the event that these companies are unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company will be required to find alternative providers of these services.

Note 13 — Equity-Based Compensation
2021 Equity Plan
At the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders held on April 12, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan of Global Net Lease, Inc. (the “Individual Plan”) and the 2021 Omnibus Advisor Incentive Compensation Plan of Global Net Lease, Inc. (the “Advisor Plan” and together with the Individual Plan, the “2021 Equity Plan”). Both the Individual Plan and the Advisor Plan became effective upon stockholder approval.
The terms of the Advisor Plan are substantially similar to the terms of the Individual Plan, except with respect to the eligible participants. Generally, directors of the Company, employees of the Company and employees of the Advisor or its affiliates who are involved in providing services to the Company (including the Company’s executive officers) are eligible to participate in the Individual Plan. Only the Advisor and any of its affiliates that are involved in providing services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the Advisor Plan. The total number of shares of Common Stock that can be issued or subject to awards under the Advisor Plan and the Individual Plan, in the aggregate, is 6,300,000 shares. Shares issued or subject to awards under the Individual Plan reduce the number of shares available for awards under the Advisor Plan on a one-for-one basis and vice versa. The Individual Plan and the Advisor Plan will expire on April 12, 2031.
The 2021 Equity Plan permit awards of Restricted Shares, RSUs, stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, LTIP Units and other equity awards.
Option Plan
Because the Individual Plan and Advisor Plan were approved by the Company’s stockholders on April 12, 2021, no awards will be granted under the Global Net Lease, Inc. 2012 Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) after that date. While effective, the Option Plan authorized the grant of nonqualified Common Stock options to the Company’s directors, officers, advisors, consultants and other personnel of the Company, the Advisor and the Property Manager and their affiliates, subject to the absolute discretion of the Company’s board of directors and the applicable limitations of the Plan. The exercise price for any stock options granted under the Option Plan was to be equal to the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the date of grant. A total of 0.5 million shares had been authorized and reserved for issuance under the Plan. No stock options have been issued under the Option Plan.
Restricted Share Plan
The Company’s employee and director incentive restricted share plan (“RSP”) provides the Company with the ability to grant awards of Restricted Shares and RSUs to directors, officers and full-time employees (if any), of the Company, the Advisor and its affiliates, and certain persons that provide services to the Company, the Advisor or its affiliates.
Under the RSP, prior to stockholder approval of the 2021 Equity Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock available for awards was equal to 10.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis at any time, and, if any awards granted under the RSP are forfeited for any reason, the number of forfeited shares was again available for purposes of granting awards under the RSP. Because the 2021 Equity Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders, only 2,772,905 shares of Common Stock remained available for the grant of new awards under the RSP through the expiration of the RSP on April 20, 2022, and shares of Common Stock underlying awards that expire, terminate, are cancelled or are forfeited under the RSP will not again be available for issuance under the RSP. Awards previously granted under the RSP will remain outstanding (and eligible to vest and settle) in accordance with their terms under the RSP.
RSUs
RSUs may be awarded under terms that provide for vesting on a straight-line basis over a specified period of time for each award. RSUs represent a contingent right to receive shares of Common Stock at a future settlement date, subject to satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions or other restrictions, as set forth in the RSP and an award agreement evidencing the grant of RSUs. RSUs may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed and the rights to the shares of Common Stock have vested. Holders of RSUs do not have or receive any voting rights with respect to the RSUs or any shares underlying any award of RSUs, but such holders are generally credited with dividend or other distribution equivalents which are subject to the same vesting conditions or other restrictions as the underlying RSUs and only paid at the time such RSUs are settled in shares of Common Stock. RSU award agreements generally provide for accelerated vesting of all unvested RSUs in connection with a termination without cause from the Company’s board of directors or a change of control and accelerated

The fair value of the RSUs granted on or after the listing is based on the market price of Common Stock as of the grant date. The fair value of the equity awards is expensed over the vesting period.
Restricted Shares
Restricted Shares are shares of Common Stock awarded under terms that provide for vesting over a specified period of time. Holders of Restricted Shares receive nonforfeitable cash dividends prior to the time that the restrictions on the Restricted Shares have lapsed. Any dividends to holders of Restricted Shares payable in shares of Common Stock are subject to the same restrictions as the underlying Restricted Shares. Restricted Shares may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed and the shares have vested.
In September 2020, May 2021 and May 2022, the Company granted 132,025, 213,125 and 207,242 Restricted Shares, respectively, to employees of the Advisor or its affiliates who are involved in providing services to the Company, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. In accordance with accounting rules, the fair value of the Restricted Shares granted is being recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of four years.
The awards to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer were recommended by the Advisor and approved by the compensation committee. The other awards were made pursuant to authority delegated by the compensation committee to Edward M. Weil, Jr., a member of the Company’s board of directors. No awards may be made pursuant to this delegation of authority to anyone who is also a partner, member or equity owner of the parent of the Advisor.
The Restricted Shares granted to employees of the Advisor or its affiliates vest in 25% increments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. Except in connection with a change in control (as defined in the award agreement) of the Company, any unvested Restricted Shares will be forfeited if the holder’s employment with the Advisor terminates for any reason. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 150 Restricted Shares were forfeited. Upon a change in control of the Company, 50% of the unvested Restricted Shares will immediately vest and the remaining unvested Restricted Shares will be forfeited.

Compensation Expense — RSP
Compensation expense for awards granted pursuant to the RSP was $1.1 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Compensation expense for awards granted pursuant to the RSP was $1.6 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Compensation expense is recorded as equity-based compensation in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $0.7 million unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs granted under the RSP, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $4.1 million unrecognized compensation cost related to Restricted Shares granted under the RSP, which is expected to be recognized over a period of 3.8 years.
Director Compensation
The Company pays independent director compensation as follows: (i) the annual retainer payable to all independent directors is $100,000 per year, (ii) the annual retainer for the non-executive chair is $105,000, (iii) the annual retainer for independent directors serving on the audit committee, compensation committee or nominating and corporate governance committee is $30,000. All annual retainers are payable 50% in the form of cash and 50% in the form of RSUs which vest over a three-year period. In addition, the directors have the option to elect to receive the cash component in the form of RSUs which would vest over a three-year period.
Multi-Year Outperformance Agreements
2021 OPP
On May 3, 2021, the Company’s independent directors, acting as a group, authorized an award of LTIP Units under the 2021 OPP after the performance period under the 2018 OPP expired on June 2, 2021, and, on June 3, 2021, the Company, the OP and the Advisor entered into the 2021 OPP (see below for additional information on the 2018 OPP, including information on the LTIP Units granted and earned thereunder).
Based on a maximum award value of $50.0 million and $20.00 (the “2021 Initial Share Price”), the closing price of Common Stock on June 2, 2021, the Advisor was granted a total of 2,500,000 LTIP Units pursuant to the 2021 OPP. These LTIP Units may be earned and become vested based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”), including both share price appreciation and reinvestment of Common Stock dividends, compared to the 2021 Initial Share Price over a performance period commencing on June 3, 2021 and ending on the earliest of (i) June 3, 2024, (ii) the effective date of any Change of Control (as defined in the Advisor Plan) and (iii) the effective date of any termination of the Advisor’s service as the Company’s advisor.
Under current accounting rules, the total fair value of the LTIP Units granted under the 2021 OPP of $27.7 million was fixed as of June 3, 2021 and will not be remeasured in subsequent periods unless the 2021 OPP is amended (see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for a description of accounting rules related to non-employee equity awards). The

fair value of the LTIP Units that were granted is being recorded evenly over the requisite service period which is approximately 3.1 years from May 3, 2021, the date that the Company’s independent directors approved the award of LTIP Units under the 2021 OPP.
2018 OPP
On July 16, 2018, the Company’s compensation committee approved the 2018 OPP, which was subsequently entered into by the Company and the OP with the Advisor on July 19, 2018.
Based on a maximum award value of $50.0 million and $19.57 (the “2018 Initial Share Price”), the closing price of Common Stock on June 1, 2018, the trading day prior to the effective date of the 2018 OPP, the Advisor was granted a total of 2,554,930 LTIP Units pursuant to the 2018 OPP. These LTIP Units could be earned and become vested based on the Company’s TSR compared to the 2018 Initial Share Price, over a performance period that commenced on June 2, 2018 and ended on June 2, 2021.
Under accounting rules adopted by the Company on January 1, 2019, the total fair value of the LTIP Units granted under the 2018 OPP of $18.8 million was fixed as of that date and was not required to be remeasured in subsequent periods unless the 2018 OPP was amended (see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for a description of accounting rules related to non-employee equity awards). The fair value of the LTIP Units that were granted was being recorded evenly over the requisite service period which was approximately 2.8 years from the grant date in 2018. In February 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2018 OPP with the Advisor to reflect a change in the peer group resulting from the merger of two members of the peer group. Under the accounting rules, the Company was required to calculate any excess of the new value of LTIP Units awarded pursuant to the 2018 OPP at the time of the amendment ($29.9 million) over the fair value immediately prior to the amendment ($23.3 million). This excess of approximately $6.6 million was expensed over the period from February 21, 2019, the date the Company’s compensation committee approved the amendment, through June 2, 2021, the end of the service period.
On June 14, 2021, the Company’s compensation committee determined that 2,135,496 LTIP Units had been earned by the Advisor and became vested pursuant to the 2018 OPP as of June 2, 2021, the last day of the performance period thereunder. The remaining 419,434 LTIP Units were automatically forfeited without the payment of any consideration by the Company or the OP. As disclosed in Note 9 — Stockholders’ Equity, the earned LTIP Units were ultimately converted into a like number of OP Units and then subsequently redeemed for Common Stock in June 2021.
Compensation Expense - 2021 OPP and 2018 OPP
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded total compensation expense related to the LTIP Units of $2.2 million and $4.5 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded total compensation expense related to the 2018 OPP and 2021 OPP of $2.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively.
LTIP Units/Distributions/Redemption
The rights of the Advisor as the holder of the LTIP Units are governed by the terms of the LTIP Units set forth in the agreement of limited partnership of the OP. Holders of LTIP Units are entitled to distributions on the LTIP Units equal to 10% of the distributions made per OP Unit (other than distributions of sale proceeds) until the LTIP Units are earned. Distributions paid on an OP Unit are equal to dividends paid on a share of Common Stock. Distributions paid on LTIP Units are not subject to forfeiture, even if the LTIP Units are ultimately forfeited. The Advisor is entitled to a priority catch-up distribution on each earned LTIP Unit equal to 90% of the aggregate distributions paid on OP Units during the applicable performance period. Any LTIP Units that are earned become entitled to receive the same distributions paid on the OP Units. If and when the Advisor’s capital account with respect to an earned LTIP Unit is equal to the capital account balance of an OP Unit, the Advisor, as the holder of the earned LTIP Unit, in its sole discretion, is entitled to convert the LTIP Unit into an OP Unit, which may in turn be redeemed on a one-for-one basis for, at the Company’s election, a share of Common Stock or the cash equivalent thereof.
In June 2021, the Company paid a $10.6 million priority catch-up distribution to the Advisor in respect of the 2,135,496 LTIP Units that were earned under the 2018 OPP. In total, the Company paid $0.1 million and $10.7 million of distributions related to LTIP Units during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $0.2 million and $10.8 million of distributions related to LTIP Units during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which is included in accumulated deficit in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.

Performance Measures
With respect to one-half of the LTIP Units granted under the 2021 OPP, the number of LTIP Units that become earned (if any) will be determined as of the last day of the performance period based on the Company’s achievement of absolute TSR levels as shown in the table below.

If the Company’s absolute TSR is more than 24% but less than 30%, or more than 30% but less than 36%, the number of LTIP Units that become earned is determined using linear interpolation as between those tiers, respectively.
With respect to the remaining one-half of the LTIP Units granted under the 2021 OPP, the number of LTIP Units that become earned (if any) will be determined as of the last day of the performance period based on the difference (expressed in terms of basis points, whether positive or negative, as shown in the table below) between the Company’s absolute TSR on the last day of the performance period relative to the average TSR of a peer group consisting of Lexington Realty Trust, Office Properties Income Trust and W.P. Carey, Inc. as of the last day of the performance period.

If the relative TSR excess is more than -600 basis points but less than zero basis points, or more than zero basis points but less than +600 basis points, the number of LTIP Units that become earned is determined using linear interpolation as between those tiers, respectively.
Other Terms
Under the 2021 OPP, in the case of a Change of Control or a termination of the Advisor for any reason, the number of LTIP Units that become earned at the end of the performance period is calculated based on actual performance through the last trading day prior to the effective date of the Change of Control or termination (as applicable), with the hurdles for calculating absolute TSR prorated to reflect a performance period of less than three years but without prorating the number of LTIP Units that may become earned to reflect the shortened performance period.
Pursuant to the terms of the Advisor Plan, the LTIP Units awarded under the 2021 OPP will be administered by the Company’s board or a committee thereof, defined as the “Committee” in the Advisor Plan. Promptly following the performance period, the Committee will determine the number of LTIP Units earned (if any), as calculated by an independent consultant engaged by the Committee and as approved by the Committee in its reasonable and good faith discretion. The Committee also must approve the transfer of any LTIP Units or any OP Units into which LTIP Units may be converted in accordance with the terms of the agreement of limited partnership of the OP. Any LTIP Units that are not earned will automatically be forfeited effective as of the end of the performance period and neither the Company nor the OP will be required to pay any future consideration in respect thereof.
Other Equity-Based Compensation
The Company may issue Common Stock in lieu of cash to pay fees earned by the Company’s directors at each director’s election. If the Company did so, there would be no restrictions on the shares issued since these payments in lieu of cash relate to fees earned for services performed. There were no such shares of Common Stock issued in lieu of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Under current authoritative guidance for determining earnings per share, all unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions are considered to be participating securities and therefore are included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common shares and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s unvested Restricted Shares, unvested RSUs and unearned LTIP Units contain rights to receive distributions considered to be non-forfeitable, except in certain limited circumstances, and therefore the Company applies the two-class method of computing earnings per share. The calculation of earnings per share above excludes the distributions to the unvested Restricted Shares, unvested RSUs and unearned LTIP Units from the numerator.
Diluted net income per share assumes the conversion of all Common Stock share equivalents into an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, unless the effect is anti-dilutive. The Company considers unvested Restricted Shares, unvested RSUs and unvested LTIP Units to be common share equivalents. The following table shows common share equivalents on a weighted average basis that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022
(Unaudited)
Note 15 — Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and determined that there have not been any events that have occurred that would require adjustments to, or disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed in the applicable footnotes and below.
Acquisitions and Dispositions
The Company did not acquire any properties subsequent to June 30, 2022. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Company disposed of one property for a contract price of $2.6 million. This property was classified as held for sale on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and was not encumbered under any mortgage debt nor part of the borrowing base under our Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2022.
Credit Facility Amendment
On July 26, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the maximum aggregate asset value attributable to unencumbered pool assets located in approved foreign countries. The impact of this amendment will be to increase the Company’s flexibility to add properties to the pool of unencumbered assets which impacts the amount available for draw under the Credit Facility.

Overview
We are an externally managed real estate investment trust for United States (“U.S.”) federal income tax purposes (“REIT”) that focuses on acquiring and managing a globally diversified portfolio of strategically-located commercial real estate properties, which are crucial to the success of our roster of primarily “Investment Grade” tenants (defined below). We invest in commercial properties, with an emphasis on sale-leaseback transactions and mission-critical, single tenant net-lease assets.
As of June 30, 2022, we owned 311 properties consisting of 39.5 million rentable square feet, which were 98.9% leased, with a weighted-average remaining lease term of 8.3 years. Based on the percentage of annualized rental income on a straight-line basis, as of June 30, 2022, 62% of our properties were located in the U.S. and Canada and 38% of our properties were located in Europe, and our portfolio was comprised of 55% industrial/distribution properties, 42% office properties and 3% retail properties. These percentages as of June 30, 2022 are calculated using annualized straight-line rent converted from local currency into the U.S. Dollar (“USD”) as of June 30, 2022. The straight-line rent includes amounts for tenant concessions.
Substantially all of our business is conducted through the OP and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Our Advisor manages our day-to-day business with the assistance of Global Net Lease Properties, LLC (the “Property Manager”). Our Advisor and Property Manager are under common control with AR Global Investments, LLC (“AR Global”) and these related parties receive compensation and fees for providing services to us. We also reimburse these entities for certain expenses they incur in providing these services to us.
Our portfolio is leased to primarily “Investment Grade” rated tenants in well established markets in the U.S. and Europe. A total of 62.3% of our rental income on an annualized straight-line basis for leases in place as of June 30, 2022 was derived from Investment Grade rated tenants, comprised of 34.2% leased to tenants with an actual investment grade rating and 28.1% leased to tenants with an implied investment grade rating. “Investment Grade” includes both actual investment grade ratings of the tenant or guarantor, if available, or implied investment grade. Implied investment grade may include actual ratings of the tenant parent, guarantor parent (regardless of whether or not the parent has guaranteed the tenant’s obligation under the lease) or tenants that are identified as investment grade by using a proprietary Moody’s analytical tool, which generates an implied rating by measuring an entity’s probability of default. Ratings information is as of June 30, 2022.
Management Update on the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 global pandemic has not yet had a significant impact on our business. However, the ultimate impact on our results of operations, our liquidity and the ability of our tenants to continue to pay us rent will depend on numerous factors including the overall length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the pandemic began in 2020, we have taken several steps to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our business. We have been in direct contact with our tenants since the crisis began, cultivating open dialogue and deepening the fundamental relationships that we have carefully developed through prior transactions and historic operations. Based on this approach and the overall financial strength and creditworthiness of our tenants, we believe that we have had positive results in our rent collections during this pandemic.
As of July 31, 2022, we have collected approximately 100% of the original cash rent due for the second quarter of 2022 across our entire portfolio. This level of collection was consistent with our level of collections for the first quarter of 2022 and each quarter during the year ended December 31, 2021.
“Original cash rent” refers to contractual rents on a cash basis due from tenants as stipulated in their originally executed lease agreement at inception or as amended, prior to any rent deferral agreement. We calculate “original cash rent collections” by comparing the total amount of rent collected during the period to the original cash rent due. During 2020 in light of COVID-19 pandemic, we agreed with certain tenants to defer a certain portion of cash rent due in 2020 to instead be due during 2021 and 2022. Total rent collected during the period includes both original cash rent due and payments made by tenants pursuant to rent deferral agreements. Eliminating the impact of deferred rent paid, we still collected approximately 100% of original cash rent due in the first and second quarters of 2022 across our entire portfolio. This information about rent collections may not be indicative of any future period. There is no assurance that we will be able to collect the cash rent that is due in future months. The ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our tenants and thus our ability to collect rents in future periods cannot be determined at present.
For a further discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on us, see Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Results of Operations
In addition to the comparative period-over-period discussions below, please see the “Overview - Management Update on the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section above for additional information on the risks and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and management’s actions taken to mitigate those risks and uncertainties.
Leasing Activity
During the second quarter of 2022, we executed six lease extensions and expansion leases totaling 1.5 million square feet and $48.0 million in net new straight-line rent over the new weighted-average remaining lease term.
Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders
Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to a loss of $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The change in net loss attributable to common stockholders is discussed in detail for each line item of the consolidated statements of operations in the sections that follow.
Revenue from Tenants
In addition to base rent, our lease agreements generally require tenants to pay or reimburse us for all property operating expenses, which primarily reflect insurance costs and real estate taxes incurred by us and subsequently reimbursed by the tenant. However, some limited property operating expenses that are not the responsibility of the tenant are absorbed by us.
Revenue from tenants was $95.2 million and $99.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by the change in foreign exchange rates and the non-recurrence of a $5.2 million receivable that was recorded in revenue from tenants in the second quarter of 2021, partially offset by the impact of our property acquisitions since June 30, 2021. The receivable in the second quarter of 2021 was recorded for financing costs we incurred in connection with the mortgage loan that financed the acquisition of the global headquarters of the McLaren Group that the McLaren Group was required to reimburse us for.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022 there were decreases of 10.0% in the average exchange rate for British Pounds Sterling (“GBP”) to USD and 11.6% in the Euro (“EUR”) to USD, when compared to the same period last year. These exchange rate fluctuations did not have a material impact on revenue from tenants or any other expenses categories discussed below.
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses were $7.8 million and $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These costs primarily relate to insurance costs and real estate taxes on our properties, which are generally reimbursable by our tenants. The main exceptions are properties leased to the Government Services Administration (the “GSA”) properties for which certain expenses are not reimbursable by the GSA. The minor increase was primarily due to the timing of our reimbursable costs, partially offset by decreases during the three months ended June 30, 2022 of 10.0% in the average exchange rate for GBP to USD and 11.6% in the EUR to USD, when compared to the same period last year.
Operating Fees to Related Parties
Operating fees paid to related parties were $10.1 million and $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Operating fees to related parties consist of compensation to the Advisor for asset management services, as well as property management fees paid to the Property Manager. Our advisory agreement with the Advisor (our “Advisory Agreement”) requires us to pay the Advisor a Minimum Base Management Fee of $18.0 million per annum ($4.5 million per quarter) and a Variable Base Management Fee, both payable in cash, and Incentive Compensation (as defined in our Advisory Agreement), generally payable in cash and shares, if the applicable hurdles are met. The Advisor did not earn any Incentive Compensation during the quarters ended June 30, 2022 or 2021. The increase in operating fees between the periods primarily results from an increase of $0.4 million in the Variable Base Management Fee resulting from the incremental additional net proceeds generated from offerings of equity securities during 2021 and the first six months of 2022. The Variable Base Management Fee would also increase in connection with other offerings or issuances of equity securities (see Note 11 — Related Party Transactions to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details).
Our Property Manager is paid fees to manage our properties, which may include market-based leasing commissions. Property management fees are calculated as a percentage of our gross revenues generated by the applicable properties. For additional information on our property management agreement with the Property Manager, see Note 11 — Related Party Transactions to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, property management fees were $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Included in
47
property management fees for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are lease commission expenses of $200,000 and $42,000, respectively, which are being amortized over the terms of the related leases. For additional information on leasing commissions earned by our Property Manager, see Note 11 — Related Party Transactions to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Impairment Charges
As of June 30, 2022, we began an operational review of one of our properties and concluded that the estimated fair value was lower than its carrying value. We recorded an impairment charge of $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2022, based on the estimated selling price of the asset. As of June 30, 2021, we had determined that the estimated fair values of two of our properties were lower than their respective carrying values. The impairment charges in the quarter ended June 30, 2021 of $6.7 million was based on the estimated selling prices of both assets.
Acquisition, Transaction and Other Costs
We recognized $133,000 and $28,000 of acquisition, transaction and other costs during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $3.7 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily consisting of professional fees including audit and taxation services, board member compensation and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and including expense reimbursements of approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million to the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement for each of the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease was also impacted by lower legal and professional fees in the second quarter of 2022 when compared to the same quarter last year.
Equity-Based Compensation
During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized equity-based compensation expense of $3.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Equity-based compensation consists of expense related to our multi-year outperformance agreements entered into with the Advisor in June 2021 (the “2021 OPP”) and in July 2018 (the “2018 OPP”) and amortization of restricted shares of Common Stock (“Restricted Shares”) granted to employees of the Advisor or its affiliates who are involved in providing services to us and restricted stock units in respect of shares of Common Stock (“RSUs”) granted to our independent directors.
On June 2, 2021, the performance period under the 2018 OPP ended and all compensation expense related to the 2018 OPP had been fully recorded as of that date and, in May 2021, we began recording expense for the 2021 OPP. The expense recorded in the second quarter of 2022 includes the straight-line expense from the 2021 OPP, as we began recording expense for the 2021 OPP in May 2021. However, the expense recorded in the second quarter of 2021 includes the straight-line expense from the 2021 OPP (beginning in May 2021) and the 2018 OPP, which expired on June 2, 2021. The increase in equity-based compensation expense was due to higher straight-line expense recorded for the 2021 OPP due to the higher fair value of the LTIP Units granted under the 2021 OPP, as well as the impact of additional amortization expense recorded for grants of RSUs and Restricted Shares that occurred during the second quarter of 2022. For additional information, see Note 13 — Equity-Based Compensation to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $39.4 million and $39.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2021 was due to additional depreciation and amortization expense recorded as a result of the impact of our property acquisitions since June 30, 2021, partially offset by decreases during the three months ended June 30, 2022 of 10.0% in the average exchange rate for GBP to USD and 11.6% in the EUR to USD, when compared to the same period last year.
Gain (Loss) on Dispositions of Real Estate Assets
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we sold one property in the U.K. and recorded a gain of $0.1 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we did not sell any properties.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was relatively stable, totaling $23.4 million and $24.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The net amount of our total gross debt outstanding decreased from $2.5 billion as of June 30, 2021 to $2.4 billion as of June 30, 2022 and the weighted-average effective interest rate of our total debt changed from 3.4% as of June 30, 2021 to 3.5% as of June 30, 2022.
The slight decrease in interest expense was also impacted by decreases during the three months ended June 30, 2022 of 10.0% in the average exchange rate for GBP to USD and 11.6% in the average exchange rate for EUR to USD, when compared
48
to the same period last year. As of June 30, 2022, approximately 25.0% of our total debt outstanding was denominated in EUR, 16.0% of our total debt outstanding was denominated in GBP and 1.0% was denominated in CAD. As of June 30, 2021, approximately 30% of our total debt outstanding was denominated in EUR and 20% of our total debt outstanding was denominated in GBP.
We view a combination of secured and unsecured financing as an efficient and accretive means to acquire properties and manage working capital. As of June 30, 2022, approximately 56% of our total debt outstanding was secured and 44% was unsecured, including amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility and Senior Notes. The Credit Facility and Senior Notes are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. The availability of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on the value of a pool of eligible unencumbered real estate assets owned by us and compliance with various ratios related to those assets. Our interest expense in future periods will vary based on interest rates as well as our level of future borrowings, which will depend on refinancing needs and acquisition activity.
Foreign Currency and Interest Rate Impact on Operations
The gain of $7.8 million on derivative instruments for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and the losses of $0.5 million on derivative instruments for the three months ended June 30, 2021, reflect the marked-to-market impact from foreign currency and interest rate derivative instruments used to hedge the investment portfolio from currency and interest rate movements, and was mainly driven by rate changes in the GBP and EUR compared to the USD. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the gain on derivative instruments consisted of unrealized gains of $6.3 million and realized gains of $1.5 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, losses on derivative instruments consisted of unrealized losses of $0.3 million and realized losses of $0.2 million. The overall gain (or loss) on derivative instruments directly impact our results of operations since they are recorded on the gain on derivative instruments line item in our consolidated results of operations. However, only the realized gains are included AFFO (as defined below) as they are cash in nature.
We recorded a gain of $2.4 million for losses on undesignated foreign currency advances and other hedge ineffectiveness, related to accelerated the reclassification of amounts in other comprehensive income to earnings as a result of certain hedged forecasted transactions becoming probable not to occur, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. We did not record any gains or losses on undesignated foreign currency advances and other hedge ineffectiveness for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
As a result of our foreign investments in Europe, and, to a lesser extent, our investments in Canada, we are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in the EUR, GBP and, to a lesser extent, CAD, which may affect costs and cash flows in our functional currency, the USD. We generally manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by matching our debt service obligation to the lender and the tenant’s rental obligation to us in the same currency. This reduces our overall exposure to currency fluctuations. In addition, we may use currency hedging to further reduce the exposure to our net cash flow. We are generally a net receiver of these currencies (we receive more cash than we pay out), and therefore our results of operations of our foreign properties benefit from a weaker USD, and are adversely affected by a stronger USD, relative to the foreign currency.
See Note 8 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on our hedging program.
Income Tax Expense
Although as a REIT we generally do not pay U.S. federal income taxes, we recognize income tax (expense) benefit domestically for state taxes and local income taxes incurred, if any, and also in foreign jurisdictions in which we own properties. In addition, we perform an analysis of potential deferred tax or future tax benefit and expense as a result of book and tax differences and timing differences in taxes across jurisdictions. Our current income tax expense fluctuates from period to period based primarily on the timing of those taxes. Income tax expense was $2.5 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase was driven by foreign acquisitions consummated in the second and third quarters of 2021.
Leasing Activity
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we executed 10 lease extensions and expansion leases totaling 2.7 million square feet and $102.0 million in net new straight-line rent over the new weighted-average remaining lease term.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders
Net loss attributable to common stockholders was a loss of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to a loss of $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The change in net loss attributable to common stockholders is discussed in detail for each line item of the consolidated statements of operations in the sections that follow.
49
Revenue from Tenants
In addition to base rent, our lease agreements generally require tenants to pay or reimburse us for all property operating expenses, which primarily reflect insurance costs and real estate taxes incurred by us and subsequently reimbursed by the tenant. However, some limited property operating expenses that are not the responsibility of the tenant are absorbed by us.
Revenue from tenants was $192.3 million and $189.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by the impact of our property acquisitions since June 30, 2021, partially offset by the change in foreign exchange rates and the non-recurrence of a $5.2 million receivable that was recorded in revenue from tenants in the second quarter of 2021. This receivable was recorded for financing costs we incurred in connection with the mortgage loan that financed the acquisition of the global headquarters of the McLaren Group that the McLaren Group is required to reimburse us for.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022 there were decreases of 6.4% in the average exchange rate for GBP to USD and 9.3% in the EUR to USD, when compared to the same period last year.These exchange rate fluctuations did not have a material impact on revenue from tenants or any other expenses categories discussed below.
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses were $15.3 million and $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These costs primarily relate to insurance costs and real estate taxes on our properties, which are generally reimbursable by our tenants. The main exceptions are properties leased to the GSA for which certain expenses are not reimbursable by the GSA. The minor increase was primarily due to the timing of our reimbursable costs, partially offset by decreases during the six months ended June 30, 2022 of 6.4% in the average exchange rate for GBP to USD and 9.3% in the EUR to USD, when compared to the same period last year.
Operating Fees to Related Parties
Operating fees paid to related parties were $20.2 million and $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Operating fees to related parties consist of compensation to the Advisor for asset management services, as well as property management fees paid to the Property Manager. Our Advisory Agreement requires us to pay the Advisor a Minimum Base Management Fee of $18.0 million per annum ($4.5 million per quarter) and a Variable Base Management Fee, both payable in cash, and Incentive Compensation (as defined in our Advisory Agreement), generally payable in cash and shares, if the applicable hurdles are met. The Advisor did not earn any Incentive Compensation during the six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021. The increase in operating fees between the periods in part results from an increase of $0.9 million in the Variable Base Management Fee resulting from the incremental additional net proceeds generated from offerings of equity securities during 2021 and the first six months of 2022. The Variable Base Management Fee would also increase in connection with other offerings or issuances of equity securities (see Note 11 — Related Party Transactions to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details).
Our Property Manager is paid fees to manage our properties, which may include market-based leasing commissions. Property management fees are calculated as a percentage of gross revenues generated by the applicable properties. For additional information on our property management agreement with the Property Manager, see Note 11 — Related Party Transactions to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, property management fees were $3.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, property management fees were $3.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Included in property management fees for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are lease commission expenses of $700,000 and $85,000, respectively, which are being amortized over the terms of the related leases. For additional information on leasing commissions earned by our Property Manager, see Note 11 — Related Party Transactions to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Impairment Charges
As of June 30, 2022, we began an operational review of one of our properties and concluded that the estimated fair value was lower than its carrying value. We recorded an impairment charge of $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2022, based on the estimated selling price of the asset. As of June 30, 2021, we had determined that the estimated fair values of two of our properties were lower than their respective carrying values. The impairment charges in the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $6.7 million was based on the estimated selling prices of both assets.
Acquisition, Transaction, and Other Costs
We recognized $141,000 and $45,000 of acquisition, transaction and other costs during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Acquisition, transaction and other costs during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2020 were due to costs for terminated acquisitions.
50
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $7.6 million and $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and primarily consist of professional fees including audit and taxation services, board member compensation and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and including expense reimbursements of approximately $0.7 million and $0.5 million to the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The overall decrease in general and administrative expenses was also impacted by lower legal and professional fees in the first six months of 2022 when compared to the same period last year.
Equity-Based Compensation
During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized equity-based compensation expense of $6.1 million and $5.6 million, respectively. Equity-based compensation consists of expense related to the 2018 OPP and the 2021 OPP, as well as amortization of Restricted Shares granted to employees of the Advisor or its affiliates who are involved in providing services to us and RSUs granted to our independent directors.
On June 2, 2021, the performance period under the 2018 OPP ended and all compensation expense related to the 2018 OPP had been fully recorded as of that date and, in May 2021, we began recording expense for the 2021 OPP. The expense recorded in the first six months of 2022 includes the straight-line expense from the 2021 OPP, as we began recording expense for the 2021 OPP in May 2021. The expense recorded in the first six months of 2021 includes the straight-line expense from the 2021 OPP (beginning in May 2021) and the 2018 OPP, which expired on June 2, 2021. The increase in equity-based compensation expense was due to higher expense recorded for the 2021 OPP due to the higher fair value of the LTIP Units granted under the 2021 OPP and the impact of additional amortization expense recorded for new grants of RSUs and Restricted Shares that occurred during the second quarter of 2022. For additional information, see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and see Note 13 — Equity-Based Compensation to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $79.2 million and $79.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021 was due to additional depreciation and amortization expense recorded as a result of the impact of our property acquisitions since June 30, 2021, partially offset by decreases during the six months ended June 30, 2022of 6.4% in the average exchange rate for GBP to USD and 9.3% in the EUR to USD, when compared to the same period last year.
Gain (Loss) on Dispositions of Real Estate Investments
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we sold one property in the U.K. and recorded a gain of $0.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we did not sell any properties.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $47.6 million and $45.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase was primarily related to interest expense on the £101.0 million ($122.7 million as of June 30, 2022) mortgage loan entered into in April 2021 as part of the acquisition of the global headquarters of the McLaren Group and interest expense on the £28.0 million ($34.0 million as of June 30, 2022) mortgage that funded, in part, the acquisition of the Trafalgar Court property located in Guernsey, Channel Islands (see Note 4 — Mortgage Notes Payable, Net and Note 6 - Senior Notes, Net for additional details). The net amount of our total gross debt outstanding decreased from $2.5 billion as of June 30, 2021 to $2.4 billion as of June 30, 2022 and the weighted-average effective interest rate of our total debt changed from 3.4% as of June 30, 2021 to 3.5% as of June 30, 2022.
The increase in interest expense was also impacted by decreases during the six months ended June 30, 2022 of 6.4% in the average exchange rate for GBP to USD and 9.3% in the average exchange rate for EUR to USD, when compared to the same period last year. As of June 30, 2022, approximately 25.0% of our total debt outstanding was denominated in EUR, 16.0% of our total debt outstanding was denominated in GBP and 1.0% was denominated in CAD. As of June 30, 2021, approximately 30% of our total debt outstanding was denominated in EUR and 20% of our total debt outstanding was denominated in GBP.
We view a combination of secured and unsecured financing as an efficient and accretive means to acquire properties and manage working capital. As of June 30, 2022, approximately 56% of our total debt outstanding was secured and 44% was unsecured, including amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility and Senior Notes. The availability of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on the value of a pool of eligible unencumbered real estate assets owned by us and compliance with various ratios related to those assets. Our interest expense in future periods will vary based on interest rates as well as our level of future borrowings, which will depend on refinancing needs and acquisition activity.
51
Foreign Currency and Interest Rate Impact on Operations
The gains on derivative instruments of $12.4 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, reflect the marked-to-market impact from foreign currency and interest rate derivative instruments used to hedge the investment portfolio from currency and interest rate movements, and was mainly driven by currency rate changes in the GBP and EUR compared to the USD. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the gain on derivative instruments consisted of unrealized gains of $10.5 million and realized gains of $1.9 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, gains on derivative instruments consisted of unrealized gains of $1.5 million and realized losses of $0.2 million. The overall gain (or loss) on derivative instruments directly impact our results of operations since they are recorded on the gain on derivative instruments line item in our consolidated results of operations. However, only the realized gains are included AFFO (as defined below) as they are cash in nature.
We recorded a gain of $2.4 million for losses on undesignated foreign currency advances and other hedge ineffectiveness, related to accelerated the reclassification of amounts in other comprehensive income to earnings as a result of certain hedged forecasted transactions becoming probable not to occur, for the six months ended June 30, 2022. We did not record any gains or losses on undesignated foreign currency advances and other hedge ineffectiveness for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
As a result of our foreign investments in Europe, and, to a lesser extent, our investments in Canada, we are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in the EUR, GBP and, to a lesser extent, CAD, which may affect costs and cash flows in our functional currency, the USD. We generally manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by matching our debt service obligation to the lender and the tenant’s rental obligation to us in the same currency. This reduces our overall exposure to currency fluctuations. In addition, we may use currency hedging to further reduce the exposure to our net cash flow. We are generally a net receiver of these currencies (we receive more cash than we pay out), and therefore our results of operations of our foreign properties benefit from a weaker USD, and are adversely affected by a stronger USD, relative to the foreign currency.
Income Tax Expense
Although as a REIT we generally do not pay U.S. federal income taxes, we recognize income tax (expense) benefit domestically for state taxes and local income taxes incurred, if any, and also in foreign jurisdictions in which we own properties. In addition, we perform an analysis of potential deferred tax or future tax benefit and expense as a result of book and tax differences and timing differences in taxes across jurisdictions. Our current income tax expense fluctuates from period to period based primarily on the timing of tax payments. Income tax expense was $5.6 million and $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 respectively. The increase is primarily driven by the European acquisitions completed in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $105.9 million. The level of cash flows provided by operating activities is driven by, among other things, rental income received, operating fees paid to related parties for asset and property management services and interest payments on outstanding borrowings. Cash flows provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 reflect net income of $9.8 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $90.0 million (primarily depreciation, amortization of intangibles, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of mortgage discounts, amortization of above- and below-market lease assets and liabilities, amortization of right of use assets, unbilled straight-line rent (including the effect of adjustments due to rent deferrals), equity-based compensation, unrealized gains on foreign currency transactions, derivatives and other, and impairments). In addition, operating cash flow was impacted by the receipt of a $9.0 million termination fee from a tenant, a decrease of $0.1 million in working capital items and lease incentive and commission payments of $3.1 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $57.9 million. The level of cash flows provided by operating activities is driven by, among other things, rental income received, operating fees paid to related parties for asset and property management services and interest payments on outstanding borrowings. Cash flows provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 reflect net income of $6.8 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $86.4 million (primarily depreciation, amortization of intangibles, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of mortgage premium/discount, amortization of above- and below-market lease and ground lease assets and liabilities, bad debt expense, unbilled straight-line rent (including the effect of adjustments due to rent deferrals), and equity-based compensation). In addition, operating cash flow decreased by $42.0 million, due to working capital items, primarily due to an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $55.6 million. The increase in prepaid expenses and other assets was primarily due to the payment of a value added tax (“VAT”) in the U.K. of approximately $46.2 million related to the McLaren acquisition and a $5.2 million receivable from McLaren for financing costs in the second quarter of 2021. We received a refund of the VAT in July 2021.

52
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $35.4 million was due to property acquisitions of $33.9 million and capital expenditures of $4.8 million.
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $269.8 million was driven by property acquisitions of $264.9 million, deposits for real estate investments of $0.3 million and capital expenditures of $4.5 million.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities of $39.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was a result of net payments on the Term Loan of $0.0 million, payments of mortgage notes payable of $18.9 million, dividends paid to common stockholders of $83.1 million, dividends paid to holders of our 7.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), of $6.2 million, dividends paid to holders of our 6.875% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock $0.01 par value per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), of $3.9 million and distributions to non-controlling interest holders of $0.2 million. These cash outflows were partially offset by net proceeds from borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility of $78.8 million and net proceeds from the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock of $4.5 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $264.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was a result of net proceeds from borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility of $57.7 million, net proceeds from mortgage notes payable of $132.1 million, net proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock of $156.0 million and net proceeds from the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock of $15.9 million. These cash inflows were partially offset by dividends paid to common stockholders of $74.4 million, dividends paid to holders of our 7.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), of $6.2 million, dividends paid to holders of our 6.875% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock $0.01 par value per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), of $3.6 million and payments of financing costs of $2.1 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal future needs for use of our cash and cash equivalents will include the purchase of additional properties or other investments in accordance with our investment strategy, payment of related acquisition costs, improvement costs, operating and administrative expenses, continuing debt service obligations and dividends to holders of our Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, as well as to any future class or series of preferred stock we may issue. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $111.2 million and $89.7 million, respectively. See discussion above for how our cash flows from various sources impacted our cash. We are required to maintain unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (or amounts available for future borrowings under credit facilities, such as the Credit Facility) in an amount sufficient to meet our actual and contingent liabilities under a limited unsecured corporate guaranty by us of £20.0 million (approximately $24.2 million as of June 30, 2022) of the obligations under a mortgage loan secured by 41 of the properties located in the United Kingdom.
Management expects that operating income from our existing properties supplemented by our existing cash will be sufficient to fund operating expenses, the payment of quarterly dividends to our common stockholders and holders of our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and interest payments on debt as well as anticipated capital expenditures. Our other sources of capital, which we have used and may use in the future, include proceeds received from our Revolving Credit Facility, proceeds from secured or unsecured financings (which may include note issuances), proceeds from our offerings of equity securities (including Common Stock and preferred stock), proceeds from any future sales of properties and undistributed funds from operations, if any. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used to pay 100% of our dividends was generated from cash flows provided by operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic has not yet had a significant negative impact on our rent collections since the pandemic began in 2020. Although the impact was not significant, during 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic caused and may continue to cause certain of our tenants to be unable to make rent payments to us timely, or at all, which impacts the amount of cash we generate from our operations. The future impact of the pandemic on our results of operations, our liquidity and the ability of our tenants to continue to pay us rent will depend on numerous factors including the overall length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management is unable to predict the nature and scope of any of these factors. Because substantially all of our income is derived from rentals of commercial real property, our business, income, cash flow, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, our ability to service our debt obligations, our ability to consummate future property acquisitions and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders would be adversely affected if a significant number of tenants are unable to meet their obligations to us.
Acquisitions and Dispositions
We are in the business of acquiring real estate properties and leasing the properties to tenants. Generally, we fund our acquisitions through a combination of cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from offerings of equity securities (including
53
Common Stock and preferred stock), borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and proceeds from mortgage or other debt secured by the acquired or other assets at the time of acquisition or at some later point. In addition, to the extent we dispose of properties, we have used and may continue to use the net proceeds from the dispositions (after repayment of any mortgage debt, if any) for future acquisitions or other general corporate purposes.
Acquisitions and Dispositions —Three and six Months Ended June 30, 2022
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we acquired three properties for $33.9 million, including capitalized acquisition costs.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 we sold one property in the UK for a contract sale price of $3.5 million. This property was previously encumbered under our United Kingdom Properties - Bulk Loan mortgage.
Acquisitions and Dispositions Subsequent to June 30, 2022 and Pending Transactions
We did not acquire any properties subsequent to June 30, 2022. We disposed of one property in Houston Texas subsequent to June 30, 2022 for a contract price of $2.6 million. This property was classified as held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and was not encumbered under any mortgage debt nor part of the borrowing base under our Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2022.
We have signed one non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) to acquire five net lease properties for an aggregate purchase price of $71.2 million.
We have agreed to terms to dispose of one property in France for an aggregate contract price of $48.2 million. This property in France is encumbered under our mortgage loan secured by our properties in France.
The LOIs may not lead to definitive agreements and the PSAs are subject to conditions and there can be no assurance we will complete the acquisitions or dispositions, or any future acquisitions or dispositions, on a timely basis or on acceptable terms and conditions, if at all.
Equity Offerings
Common Stock
We have an “at the market” equity offering program (the “Common Stock ATM Program”), pursuant to which we may raise aggregate sales proceeds of $500.0 million through sales of Common Stock from time to time through our sales agents. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we did not sell any shares of Common Stock through the Common Stock ATM Program.
Preferred Stock
We have established an “at the market” equity offering program for our Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock ATM Program”) pursuant to which we may raise aggregate sales proceeds of $200.0 million through sales of shares of Series B Preferred Stock from time to time through our sales agents. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we sold 84,435 shares of Series B Preferred Stock through the Series B Preferred Stock ATM Program for gross proceeds of $2.1 million before nominal commissions paid and issuance costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we sold 181,819 shares of Series B Preferred Stock through the Series B Preferred Stock ATM Program for gross proceeds of $4.5 million before nominal commissions paid and issuance costs.
The timing differences between when we raise equity proceeds or receive proceeds from dispositions and when we invest those proceeds in acquisitions or other investments that increase our operating cash flows have affected, and may continue to affect, our results of operations.
Borrowings
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had total debt outstanding of $2.4 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, bearing interest at a weighted-average interest rate per annum equal to 3.5% and 3.4%, respectively.
As of June 30, 2022, 76.0% of our total debt outstanding either bore interest at fixed rates, or was swapped to a fixed rate, which bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 3.7% per annum. As of June 30, 2022, 24.0% of our total debt outstanding was variable-rate debt, which bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 2.4% per annum. The total gross carrying value of unencumbered assets as of June 30, 2022 was $2.0 billion, of which approximately $1.2 billion was included in the unencumbered asset pool comprising the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility and therefore is not available to serve as collateral for future borrowings. We may add certain of these unencumbered assets to the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility to increase the amount available for future borrowings thereunder.
Our debt leverage ratio was 55.8% (total debt as a percentage of total purchase price of real estate investments, based on the exchange rate at the time of purchase) as of June 30, 2022. See Note 7 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of fair value of such debt as
54
of June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the weighted-average maturity of our indebtedness was 4.3 years. We believe we have the ability to service our debt obligations as they come due.
Senior Notes
On December 16, 2020, we, together with the OP, issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Senior Notes”). As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the carrying amount of the outstanding on our balance sheet totaled $492.4 million and $491.7 million, respectively, which is net of $7.6 million and $8.3 million of deferred financing costs, respectively. The Senior Notes require payment of interest-only with the principal due to maturity. See Note 6 — Senior Notes, Net to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion on the Senior Notes and related covenants.
Mortgage Notes Payable
As of June 30, 2022, we had secured mortgage notes payable of $1.3 billion, net of mortgage discounts and deferred financing costs. Repayments of principal under the mortgage loan secured by all of our properties located in the United Kingdom (the “United Kingdom Properties - Bulk Loan”) began in October 2020 based on amounts specified under the loan. All of our other mortgage loans require payment of interest-only with the principal due at maturity. During the first six months of 2022, approximately $18.9 million in principal was repaid, on the United Kingdom Properties - Bulk Loan. The Company used cash on hand and funds received from the termination fee to make the payments. As of June 30, 2022, this mortgage had a balance of $209.6 million. Principal of approximately £3.7 million (approximately $4.5 million) is due during the third quarter of 2022, which is the only principal repayment due in the third quarter.
Credit Facility
As of June 30, 2022, outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility were $558.9 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the amounts drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility increased $78.8 million, primarily due to the amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility and the conversion of the Term Loan to the Revolving Credit Facility (see below for additional information). As of June 30, 2022, approximately $85.8 million was available for future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
On April 8, 2022, we entered into an amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility. Following the closing of the amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility, the Credit Facility consists solely of the Revolving Credit Facility. The amount previously outstanding under the Term Loan was converted to the Revolving Credit Facility upon the amendment and restatement. In addition, the aggregate total commitments under the Credit Facility were increased from $1.17 billion to $1.45 billion, with a $50.0 million sublimit for letters of credit, a $50.0 million sublimit for swing loans and $100.0 million of which can only be used for U.S. dollar denominated loans. The Credit Facility includes an uncommitted “accordion feature” whereby, so long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, we have the option to increase the commitments under the Credit Facility, allocated to either or both the Revolving Credit Facility or a new term loan facility, by up to an additional $500.0 million, subject to obtaining commitments from new lenders or additional commitments from participating lenders and certain customary conditions. We incurred approximately $10.1 million of deferred financing costs during the second quarter of 2022 related to the April 2022 amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility. Also, on July 26, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the maximum aggregate asset value attributable to unencumbered pool assets located in approved foreign countries. The impact of this amendment will be to increase our flexibility to add properties to the pool of unencumbered assets which impacts the amount available for draw under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility is supported by a pool of eligible unencumbered properties that are owned by the subsidiaries of the OP that serve as guarantors. The availability of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility continues to be based on the value of a pool of eligible unencumbered real estate assets owned by us (see details below) and compliance with various ratios related to those assets, and the amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility also included amendments to provisions governing the calculation of the value of the borrowing base.
The Credit Facility requires payments of interest only prior to maturity. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate per annum based on an applicable margin that varies based on the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated total asset value of us and our subsidiaries plus either (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) or (ii) the applicable Benchmark Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) for the currency being borrowed. Following the amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility, the applicable interest rate margin is based on a range from 0.30% to 0.90% per annum with respect to Base Rate borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and 1.30% to 1.90% per annum with respect to Benchmark Rate borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. These spreads reflect a reduction pursuant to the amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility from the previously applicable spreads. For Benchmark Rate Loans denominated in Dollars that bear interest calculated by reference to Term SOFR, there is an additional spread adjustment depending on the length of the interest period. In addition, pursuant to the amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility, (i) if we achieve an investment grade credit rating from at least two rating agencies, the OP can elect for the spread to be based on our credit rating, and (ii) the “floor” on the applicable Benchmark is 0%.
55
Through March 31, 2022, prior to the amendment and restatement of Credit Facility, the Credit Facility consisted of two components, a Revolving Credit Facility and a Term Loan, both of which required payment of interest-only. The Revolving Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on August 1, 2023, and the Term Loan was scheduled to mature on August 1, 2024. Prior to the amendment and restatement, borrowings under the Credit Facility bore interest at a variable rate per annum based on an applicable margin that varied based on the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness and the consolidated total asset value of us and our subsidiaries plus either (i) LIBOR, as applicable to the currency being borrowed, or (ii) a “base rate” equal to the greatest of (a) KeyBank’s “prime rate,” (b) 0.5% above the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or (c) 1.0% above one-month LIBOR. The applicable interest rate margin was based on a range from 0.45% to 1.05% per annum with respect to base rate borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, 1.45% to 2.05% per annum with respect to LIBOR borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, 0.40% to 1.00% per annum with respect to base rate borrowings under the Term Loan and 1.40% to 2.00% per annum with respect to LIBOR borrowings under the Term Loan. As of June 30, 2022, the Credit Facility had a weighted-average effective interest rate of 2.9% after giving effect to interest rate swaps in place.
Following the amendment and restatement, the Credit Facility now matures on October 8, 2026, subject to our option, subject to customary conditions, to extend the maturity date by up to two additional six-month terms. Previously the Credit Facility had been scheduled to mature in August 2023, subject to our extension options. Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage costs associated with borrowings for the applicable Benchmark Rate.
Our Credit Facility requires us, through the OP, to pay an unused fee per annum of 0.25% of the unused balance of the Revolving Credit Facility if the unused balance exceeds or is equal to 50% of the total commitment or a fee per annum of 0.15% of the unused balance of the Revolving Credit Facility if the unused balance is less than 50% of the total commitment. From and after the time we obtain an investment grade credit rating, the unused fee will be replaced with a facility fee based on the total commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility multiplied by 0.30%, decreasing if our credit rating increases.
The availability of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on the value of a pool of eligible unencumbered real estate assets owned by us and compliance with various ratios related to those assets. We are required to maintain unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (or amounts available for future borrowings under credit facilities, such as the Credit Facility) in an amount sufficient to meet our actual and contingent liabilities under a limited unsecured corporate guaranty by us of £20.0 million (approximately $24.2 million as of June 30, 2022) of the obligations under a mortgage loan secured by 41 of the properties located in the United Kingdom. Also, we have a $7.4 million letter of credit held by a lender which was put in place to cure a cash trap sweep event under one of our mortgages (see “— Covenants —Multi-Tenant Mortgage Loan III” section below for additional information on this letter of credit). This letter of credit reduces the availability for future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Any future borrowings may, at our option be denominated in USD, EUR, Canadian Dollars, GBP or Swiss Francs. Amounts borrowed may not, however, be converted to, or repaid in, another currency once borrowed.
Covenants
As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Indenture governing the Senior Notes and the Credit Facility (see Note 5 — Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan, Net and Note 6 — Senior Notes, Net to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion on the Credit Facility and Senior Notes and the related covenants).
Our mortgage notes payable agreements require compliance with certain property-level financial covenants including debt service coverage ratios. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants under our mortgage notes payable agreements.
Multi-Tenant Mortgage Loan III
During the three months ended December 31, 2020, a major tenant failed to renew its lease triggering a cash sweep event under one of our mortgage loans secured by seven of our properties with a balance of $98.5 million as of June 30, 2022. The event triggering the cash sweep was not, however, an event of default. During the first quarter of 2021, we cured the cash sweep event through one of the available options under the loan by putting a $3.2 million letter of credit in place (subject to future increase under the terms of the loan agreement, to a maximum amount of $7.4 million). During the third quarter of 2021, the amount of the letter of credit was increased by an additional $4.2 million, resulting in the lender holding the $7.4 million maximum amount in respect to this obligation as of September 30, 2021. This $7.4 million letter of credit is being held by the lender until such time we are able to find a suitable replacement tenant and it reduces the availability for future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The borrower entities under the same mortgage loan believe, based upon a review conducted during the three months ended June 30, 2022, that during the three months ended March 31, 2022, they failed to maintain the debt service coverage ratio required by the loan agreement for such period (a “DSCR Trigger Event”) and believe that such failure, if confirmed by lender, would trigger a separate cash sweep event under the loan. A DSCR Trigger Event, if triggered, is not an event of default and instead triggers a cash sweep event. To date the lender has not notified the borrower entities of the occurrence of a DSCR
56
Trigger Event under the loan. Per the loan agreement we are able to cure a cash sweep event resulting from a DSCR Trigger Event by delivering a letter of credit in the face amount of the excess cash flow for the trailing three month immediately preceding the date of the DSCR Trigger Event. Such letter of credit is thereafter recalculated and increased (but never decreased) every three month period thereafter until such time as the borrowers demonstrate compliance with the debt service coverage ratio required by the loan for a period of two consecutive calendar quarters. In the event the lender confirms the occurrence of a DSCR Trigger Event for the loan, we intend to deliver the letter of credit described above to lender to cure the cash sweep event resulting from such DSCR Trigger Event. Such letter of credit will be held by the lender until such time as we restore debt service coverage ratio compliance under the loan for the requisite two calendar quarter time period. Upon issuance, such letter of credit will reduce availability for future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
French Properties
During the second and third quarters of 2021, we also triggered a cash sweep under one of our loans with a balance of €70.0 million ($73.2 million) as of June 30, 2022 because the aggregate weighted average unexpired lease term (“WAULT”) of the collateral portfolio was less than three years. This was not an event of default and instead triggered a cash sweep event. For so long as the cash sweep is in effect, the lender is sweeping 30% of excess cash flow and retaining such amount in an excess cash collateral account. As of June 30, 2022, the amount of cash swept was €4.7 million ($4.9 million) and is recorded in restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheet.
If and when the aggregate WAULT of the loan collateral again exceeds three years the cash sweep will cease (so long as the aggregate WAULT of the loan collateral thereafter continues to exceed three years). The lender will be required to release all funds retained by lender in the excess cash flow account in respect of this WAULT cash sweep upon the loan collateral achieving an aggregate WAULT of not less than four years. Per the terms of the applicable loan agreement, the funds held in the excess cash flow account are included for purposes of the calculation of the loan to value ratio.
Multi-Tenant Mortgage Loan IV
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, a tenant exercised its right to terminate its lease effective December 31, 2022. Notice of the termination triggered a lease sweep event, which began in the fourth quarter of 2021, under one of our mortgage loans. This was not, however, an event of default. The mortgage loan had a balance of $97.5 million as of June 30, 2022 and it encumbers 16 properties, one of which is leased by the tenant that exercised its right to terminate its lease. Pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement, the lender is sweeping all cash flow attributable to the lease that triggered the lease sweep event into a rollover reserve account in an amount up to, but not to exceed, an aggregate cap of $0.8 million. The reserve will be held by the lender who is required to make the reserve funds available to us to fund re-tenanting expenses for the property. The lease sweep event will be cured under the loan agreement if and when we lease the space to a new tenant approved by the lender and, at such time, any amounts remaining in the rollover reserve account in respect of the lease sweep event will be released to us.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This section discusses the non-GAAP financial measures we use to evaluate our performance including Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”). A description of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net income, is provided below.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP FFO, Core FFO and AFFO measures. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT (as defined below) definition (as we do), or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do, or may calculate Core FFO or AFFO differently than we do. Consequently, our presentation of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures presented by other REITs.
We consider FFO, Core FFO and AFFO useful indicators of our performance. Because FFO, Core FFO and AFFO calculations exclude such factors as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gain or loss from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), FFO, Core FFO and AFFO presentations facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs.
As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our operating performance including relative to our peers and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. However, FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions. Investors are cautioned that FFO, Core FFO and AFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance
57
excluding these activities, as they exclude certain costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which these costs are incurred.
Funds from Operations, Core Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
Funds from Operations
Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has promulgated a measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. FFO is not equivalent to net income or loss as determined under GAAP.
We calculate FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established over time by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in a White Paper approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT effective in December 2018 (the “White Paper”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gain and loss from the sale of certain real estate assets, gain and loss from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s definition.
The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, and straight-line amortization of intangibles, which implies that the value of a real estate asset diminishes predictably over time. We believe that, because real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation and certain other items may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization, among other things, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income.
Core Funds from Operations
In calculating Core FFO, we start with FFO, then we exclude certain non-core items such as acquisition, transaction and other costs, as well as certain other costs that are considered to be non-core, such as debt extinguishment costs, fire loss and other costs related to damages at our properties. The purchase of properties, and the corresponding expenses associated with that process, is a key operational feature of our core business plan to generate operational income and cash flows in order to make dividend payments to stockholders. In evaluating investments in real estate, we differentiate the costs to acquire the investment from the subsequent operations of the investment. We also add back non-cash write-offs of deferred financing costs and prepayment penalties incurred with the early extinguishment of debt which are included in net income but are considered financing cash flows when paid in the statement of cash flows. We consider these write-offs and prepayment penalties to be capital transactions and not indicative of operations. By excluding expensed acquisition, transaction and other costs as well as non-core costs, we believe Core FFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties.
Adjusted Funds from Operations
In calculating AFFO, we start with Core FFO, then we exclude certain income or expense items from AFFO that we consider more reflective of investing activities, other non-cash income and expense items and the income and expense effects of other activities that are not a fundamental attribute of our business plan. These items include early extinguishment of debt and other items excluded in Core FFO as well as unrealized gain and loss, which may not ultimately be realized, such as gain or loss on derivative instruments, gain or loss on foreign currency transactions, and gain or loss on investments. In addition, by excluding non-cash income and expense items such as amortization of above-market and below-market leases intangibles, amortization of deferred financing costs, straight-line rent and equity-based compensation from AFFO, we believe we provide useful information regarding income and expense items which have a direct impact on our ongoing operating performance. We also exclude revenue attributable to the reimbursement by third parties of financing costs that we originally incurred because these revenues are not, in our view, related to operating performance. We also include the realized gain or loss on foreign currency exchange contracts for AFFO as such items are part of our ongoing operations and affect our current operating performance.
In calculating AFFO, we exclude certain expenses which under GAAP are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. All paid and accrued acquisition, transaction and other costs (including prepayment penalties for debt extinguishments) and certain other expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which
58
expenses are incurred or properties are acquired will also have negative effects on returns to investors, but are not reflective of on-going performance. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income. In addition, as discussed above, we view gain and loss from fair value adjustments as items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized and not reflective of ongoing operations and are therefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance. Excluding income and expense items detailed above from our calculation of AFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of our operating performance. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gain or loss, we believe AFFO provides useful supplemental information. By providing AFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that can be used to, among other things, assess our performance without the impact of transactions or other items that are not related to our portfolio of properties. AFFO presented by us may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs that define AFFO differently. Furthermore, we believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, AFFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated financial statements. AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of our liquidity or ability to make distributions.
Accounting Treatment of Rent Deferrals
All of the concessions granted to our tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic are rent deferrals with the original lease term unchanged and collection of deferred rent deemed probable (see the Overview - Management Update on the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional information on rent deferrals). As a result of relief granted by the FASB and SEC related to lease modification accounting, rental revenue used to calculate net income and NAREIT FFO has not been, and we do not expect we will be, significantly impacted by the deferrals we have entered into. In addition, since we currently believe that these deferral amounts are collectable, we have excluded from the increase in straight-line rent for AFFO purposes the amounts recognized under GAAP relating to rent deferrals. For a detailed discussion of our revenue recognition policy, including details related to the relief granted by the FASB and SEC, see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

_________
(1)FFO, Core FFO and AFFO for the six months ended June 30, 2022 include income from a lease termination fee of $0.3 million, which is recorded in Revenue from tenants in the consolidated statements of operations. While such termination payments occur infrequently, they represent cash income for accounting and tax purposes and as such management believes they should be included in both FFO and AFFO. The termination fee of approximately $9.0 million was paid to us by the tenant at the end of the lease term on January 4, 2022, however it was earned and recorded as income evenly over the period from September 3, 2021 through January 4, 2022.
(2)Represents amounts related to deferred rent pursuant to lease negotiations which qualify for FASB relief for which rent was deferred but not reduced. These amounts are included in the straight-line rent receivable on our balance sheet but are considered to be earned revenue attributed to the current period for rent that was deferred, for purposes of AFFO, as they are expected to be collected. Accordingly, when the deferred amounts are collected, the amounts reduce AFFO.
(3)For AFFO purposes, we adjust for unrealized gains and losses. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the gain on derivative instruments was $7.8 million, which consisted of unrealized gains of $6.3 million and realized gains of $1.5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the gain on derivative instruments was $12.4 million, which consisted of unrealized gains of $10.5 million and realized gains of $1.9 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, losses on derivative instruments was $0.5 million, which consisted of unrealized losses of $0.3 million and realized losses of $0.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, gains on derivative instruments were $1.3 million, which consisted of unrealized gains of $1.5 million and realized losses of $0.2 million.
(4)Amount represents a receivable recorded for financing costs we incurred in connection with the mortgage loan that financed the acquisition of the global headquarters of the McLaren Group that the McLaren Group is required to reimburse us for. For accounting purposes, the receivable for these reimbursable costs is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet and in revenue from tenants in the consolidated statements of operations in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 since the receivable is considered to be earned revenue attributed to the period.

Dividends
The amount of dividends payable to our common stockholders is determined by our board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for dividends, our financial condition, provisions in our Credit Facility or other agreements that may restrict our ability to pay dividends, capital expenditure requirements, as applicable, requirements of Maryland law and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, we paid dividends on our common stock at an annual rate of $1.60 per share or $0.40 per share on a quarterly basis. Dividends authorized by our board of directors and declared by us are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears on the 15th day of the first month following the end of each fiscal quarter (unless otherwise specified) to common stockholders of record on the record date for such payment.
Dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock accrue in an amount equal to $0.453125 per share per quarter to Series A Preferred Stock holders, which is equivalent to 7.25% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock per annum. Dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock accrue in an amount equal to $0.429688 per share per quarter to Series B Preferred Stock holders, which is equivalent to 6.875% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of Series B Preferred Stock per annum. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year (or, if not on a business day, on the next succeeding business day) to holders of record on the close of business on the record date set by our board of directors. Any accrued and unpaid dividends payable with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock become part of the liquidation preference thereof.
Pursuant to the Credit Facility, we may not pay distributions, including cash dividends payable with respect to Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or any other class or series of stock we may issue in the future, or redeem or otherwise repurchase shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or any other class or series of stock we may issue in the future that exceed 100% of our Adjusted FFO as defined in the Credit Facility (which is different from AFFO disclosed in this Quarterly on Form 10-Q) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, except in limited circumstances, including that for one fiscal quarter in each calendar year, we may pay cash dividends and other distributions and make redemptions and other repurchases in an aggregate amount equal to no more than 105% of our Adjusted FFO. We last used the exception to pay dividends that were between 100% of Adjusted FFO and 105% of Adjusted FFO during the quarter ended on June 30, 2020, and may use this exception in the future.
Our ability to pay dividends in the future and maintain compliance with the restrictions on the payment of dividends in our Credit Facility depends on our ability to operate profitably and to generate sufficient cash flows from the operations of our existing properties and any properties we may acquire. There can be no assurance that we will complete acquisitions on a timely basis or on acceptable terms and conditions, if at all. If we fail to do so (and we are not otherwise able to increase the amount of cash we have available to pay dividends and other distributions), our ability to comply with the restrictions on the payment of dividends in our Credit Facility may be adversely affected, and we might be required to further reduce the amount of dividends we pay. In the past, the lenders under our Credit Facility have consented to increase the maximum amount of our Adjusted FFO we may use to pay cash dividends and other distributions and make redemptions and other repurchases in certain periods, but there can be no assurance that they will do so again in the future.
Cash used to pay dividends and distributions during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was generated from cash flows from operations. The following table shows the sources for the payment of dividends to holders of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and distributions to holders of LTIP Units for the periods indicated:

Foreign Currency Translation
Our reporting currency is the USD. The functional currency of our foreign investments is the applicable local currency for each foreign location in which we invest. Assets and liabilities in these foreign locations (including intercompany balances for which settlement is not anticipated in the foreseeable future) are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date. The amounts reported in the consolidated statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the applicable period. The resulting unrealized cumulative translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of changes in equity. We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on property investments in foreign countries which pay rental income, incur property related expenses and borrow in currencies other than our functional currency, the USD. We have used and may continue to use foreign currency derivatives including options, currency forward and cross currency swap agreements to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign GBP-USD and EUR-USD exchange rates (see Note 8 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion).
Election as a REIT 
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, effective for our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. We believe that, commencing with such taxable year, we have been organized and have operated in a manner so that we qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code. We intend to continue to operate in such a manner to qualify for taxation as a REIT, but can provide no assurances that we will operate in a manner so as to remain qualified as a REIT. To continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must comply with a number of other organizational and operational requirements. If we continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on the portion of our REIT taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and properties, as well as federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
In addition, our international assets and operations, including those owned through direct or indirect subsidiaries that are disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, continue to be subject to taxation in the foreign jurisdictions where those assets are held or those operations are conducted.

Inflation
We may be adversely impacted by inflation on the leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions, or those leases which have escalations at rates which do not exceed or approximate current inflation rates. As of June 30, 2022, the increase to the 12-month CPI for all items, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, was 9.1%. To help mitigate the adverse impact of inflation, approximately 94.7% of our leases with our tenants contain rent escalation provisions that increase the cash rent that is due over time by an average cumulative increase of 1.2% per year. These provisions generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases either at fixed rates or indexed escalations (based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures). As of June 30, 2022, approximately 60.9%, based on straight line rent are fixed-rate increase, 26.2% are based on the Consumer Price Index, subject to certain caps, 7.5% are based on other measures, and 5.3% do not contain any escalation provisions.
In addition, we may be required to pay costs for maintenance and operation of properties which may adversely impact our results of operations due to potential increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. However, our net leases require the tenant to pay its allocable share of operating expenses, which may include common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This may reduce our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. As the costs of general goods and services continue to rise, we may be adversely impacted by increases in general and administrative costs due to overall inflation.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
See Note 11 — Related Party Transactions to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the various related party transactions, agreements and fees.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There has been no material change in our exposure to market risk during the six months ended June 30, 2022. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for the below risk factor, and we direct your attention to those risk factors.
Geopolitical instability due to the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine may adversely impact the U.S., Europe and global economies.
On February 24, 2022, Russian troops invaded Ukraine starting a military conflict, the length and breadth of which is highly unpredictable. Coupled with existing supply disruptions and changes in Federal Reserve policies on interest rates, this war has exacerbated, and may continue to exacerbate, inflation and significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain disruptions.
Additionally, the U.S., the European Union, and other countries, as well as other public and private actors and companies have imposed sanctions and other penalties on Russia including removing Russian-based financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication payment system and restricting imports of Russian oil, liquefied natural gas and coal. These sanctions have caused supply disruptions in the oil and gas markets and could continue to cause significant increases in energy prices, which could have a material effect on inflation and may trigger a recession in the U.S. and Europe, among other areas. These factors may result in the weakening of the financial condition of or the bankruptcy or insolvency of a significant tenant or a number of smaller tenants, particularly tenants in our European properties who may be impacted the most by these factors due to the enhanced possibility of a general economic slowdown in Europe, which would adversely impact their ability to pay rents as they come due. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected since our revenue is largely dependent on the success and economic viability of our tenants.
These and other sanctions that may be imposed as well as the ongoing conflict could further adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and cause further instability, negatively impacting liquidity in the capital markets and potentially making it more difficult for us to access additional debt or equity financing on attractive terms in the future.
In addition, the U.S. government has warned of the potential for Russian cyberattacks. The risk of Russian cyberattacks may also create market volatility and economic uncertainty particularly if these attacks occur and spread to a broad array of countries and networks.
Certain provisions in our bylaws and agreements may deter, delay or prevent a change in our control.
Provisions contained in our bylaws may deter, delay or prevent a change in control of our board of directors, including, for example, provisions requiring qualifications for an individual to serve as a director and a requirement that certain of our directors be “Managing Directors” and other directors be “Independent Directors,” as defined in our governing documents. As changes occur in the marketplace for corporate governance policies, the provisions may change, be removed, or new ones may be added.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Recent Sale of Unregistered Securities
There were no recent sales of unregistered securities.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Related Purchasers
There were no repurchases of our Common Stock made during the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
