("GNL" or "the Company") (NYSE: GNL/ GNL PRA / GNL PRB) announced today that it has signed a definitive purchase and sale agreement to sell an office property it owns in San Jose, CA for a contract sale price of $50 million. The Company had originally acquired the property in 2014 for $52.5 million.

"This transaction showcases our diligent underwriting standards that prioritizes assets with high reuse potential and valuable real estate demographics, yielding strong interest from local developers and securing an attractive offer that is comparable to the price we originally paid for the property. We will use the net proceeds from this sale to continue to focus on building and maintaining a world-class portfolio and executing on accretive initiatives that create value for our shareholders."
