On February 27, 2024, Global Net Lease, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its results of operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023, and supplemental financial information for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023, attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively.
 
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
Press Release and Supplemental Information
 
As disclosed in Item 2.02 above, on February 27, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing its results of operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023, and supplemental financial information for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023, attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively. The information set forth in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and in the attached Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 is deemed to be “furnished” and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
 
The statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not historical may be forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of us, our operating partnership and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “potential,” “predicts,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “would,” “could,” “should” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include the risks associated with the merger with The Necessity Retail REIT, Inc. and the internalization of the Company’s property management and advisory functions; the geopolitical instability due to the ongoing military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas, including related sanctions and other penalties imposed by the U.S. and European Union, and the related impact on the Company, the Company’s tenants and the global economy and financial markets; that any potential future acquisition by the Company is subject to market conditions and capital availability and may not be identified or completed on favorable terms, or at all. Some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements are set forth under “Risk Factors” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in its Annual Report on Form 10-K , its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and its other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission after that date, as such risks, uncertainties and other important factors may be updated from time to time in the Company's subsequent reports. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.
