Exhibit 99.1

Global Net Lease Closes $74 Million of Dispositions Since First Quarter 2026, Achieving a 7.2% Cash Cap Rate on Occupied Sales

§ Sold $66 Million of Occupied Properties, Including $61 Million of Office Assets at a 7.2% Cash Cap Rate

§ Office Assets Accounted for 93% of Occupied Sales

§ Disposition Activity Reduces Office Exposure and Supports Continued Focus on Leverage Reduction

§ Pending Acquisition of Modiv Industrial Remains on Track for Anticipated Third Quarter 2026 Closing

NEW YORK – June 29, 2026 – Global Net Lease, Inc. (NYSE: GNL) (“GNL” or the “Company”) today announced that, since the first quarter 2026¹, it sold $74 million of assets, including $66 million of occupied assets at a 7.2% cash cap rate, with office assets representing $61 million, or 93%, of occupied dispositions. GNL also sold $8 million of vacant assets, eliminating negative NOI drag, increasing portfolio occupancy and enhancing overall portfolio quality. Year-to-date, GNL has now closed approximately $145 million of dispositions at a 7.5% cash cap rate on occupied assets.

Since the first quarter 2026¹, GNL sold two occupied office assets at a 7.2% cash cap rate: a 33,000-square-foot building leased to the U.S. General Services Administration (“GSA”) for $13 million and a 369,000-square-foot office building leased to GE Aviation for $48 million. Prior to the sales, GNL executed 20-year and 10-year lease extensions at the GSA and GE Aviation properties, respectively, increasing the assets’ marketability and positioning them for dispositions at enhanced values. In addition, GNL has a 133,000-square-foot office asset in the Netherlands, currently leased to Koninklijke KPN N.V. (“KPN”), under contract for sale for approximately $18 million², upon the expiration of KPN’s lease in December 2026. These transactions reflect the Company's continued execution of its strategy to reduce office exposure, proactively address lease rollover risk, and improve the long-term quality of the portfolio. GNL is continuing its efforts to further reduce its office exposure and looks forward to providing additional details for any potential transaction entered into. Upon completion of these transactions, GNL expects office exposure to be reduced to approximately 21% of portfolio straight-line rent.

On the acquisition front, GNL is currently under contract to acquire a 100,000-square-foot single-tenant industrial property occupied by a Fortune 50 investment-grade tenant for $14 million at an 8.2% cash cap rate. The Company anticipates that this acquisition will provide an opportunity to redeploy disposition proceeds into a high-quality industrial asset at an attractive yield.

Together with the pending $535 million acquisition of Modiv Industrial, Inc. (NYSE: MDV), expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, these initiatives reflect GNL’s continued focus on increasing exposure to single-tenant industrial and retail assets while strategically reducing office concentration. The acquisition is expected to be immediately 4% accretive to AFFO per share and is structured to be leverage neutral, complementing GNL’s broader, continued focus on reducing leverage over the long-term and preserving GNL’s balance sheet strength and financial flexibility. Through the transaction, GNL will be acquiring a high-quality industrial net lease portfolio with a 15.0 year weighted average lease term and 2.4% average annual rent escalations, which is expected to extend GNL’s weighted average lease term from 5.9 years in Q1’26 to 6.7 years on a pro-forma basis.

“Our recent disposition activity advances our strategy of reducing office exposure while improving overall portfolio quality,” said Michael Weil, CEO of GNL. “These dispositions demonstrate our ability to monetize office assets at attractive valuations while redeploying capital into high-quality industrial and retail investments. Together with the pending Modiv acquisition and additional office sales, we expect to reduce our office exposure to approximately 21% of portfolio straight-line rent, down from approximately 26% as of the first quarter of 2026, marking another meaningful step in our ongoing portfolio transformation. We believe these actions will further improve portfolio quality, strengthen our earnings profile, and position GNL to deliver long-term value for our stockholders.”
