Global Net Lease Successfully Closes Third and Final Phase of Multi-Tenant Portfolio Sale
— Sale of 12 Properties Generates Approximately $313 Million in Gross Proceeds
— Portfolio Sale Completed; Accelerates Deleveraging Plan and Transforms GNL to Single-Tenant Net Lease REIT
NEW YORK, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Net Lease, Inc. (NYSE: GNL) (“GNL” or the “Company”) announced that it has completed the final phase of its multi-tenant portfolio sale to RCG Ventures, LLC on June 18, 2025, including 12 encumbered properties. This third phase generated approximately $313 million in gross proceeds1, bringing total gross proceeds from the portfolio sale to $1.8 billion2. GNL plans on using the incremental net proceeds from the third phase of the multi-tenant portfolio sale to further reduce leverage by paying down the outstanding balance on GNL’s Revolving Credit Facility.
The multi-tenant portfolio sale simplifies GNL’s portfolio and sharpens its strategic focus by becoming a pure-play net lease owner and operator. This transition is expected to generate approximately $6.5 million in recurring annual G&A savings, along with additional cash savings from a substantial reduction in annual capital expenditures. GNL also believes the multi-tenant portfolio sale will create significant efficiencies in its operations by eliminating the complexities associated with managing multi-tenant retail properties.
“The completion of our multi-tenant portfolio sale marks the final step in our evolution into a pure-play single-tenant net lease company with streamlined operations and improved portfolio quality,” said Michael Weil, CEO of GNL. “Divesting these multi-tenant assets has strengthened our balance sheet by accelerating our deleveraging efforts and improving liquidity. We remain focused on achieving an investment-grade credit rating, which we believe will lower our cost of capital and increase our financial stability. We are confident that this strengthened foundation will support continued growth and value creation for our shareholders.”
