Explanatory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Global Net Lease, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2024 (the “Original 8-K”). The purpose of this Amendment is to update the disclosure under “Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders” of the Original 8-K to provide information regarding the determination of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) as to how frequently the Company will conduct future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. No other changes are being made to the Original 8-K.
| Item 5.07. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders |
Say-On-Frequency Determination
As previously reported, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company held on May 23, 2024 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders voted on, among other matters, a non-binding advisory vote regarding the frequency of future stockholder non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. The frequency of one year received the highest number of votes cast by stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The Board considered various factors, including the results of the non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes, in its deliberations, and decided that it was in the best interest of the Company to hold a stockholder advisory vote every year with respect to the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.
