Exhibit 99.1

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

On May 23, 2023, Global Net lease, Inc. (“GNL” or the “Company”), Global Net Lease Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), The Necessity Retail REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“RTL”), The Necessity Retail REIT Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“RTL OP”), Osmosis Sub I, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of GNL (“REIT Merger Sub”), and Osmosis Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the OP (“OP Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “REIT Merger Agreement”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the REIT Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger (the “REIT Merger Effective Time”), RTL will merge with and into REIT Merger Sub, with REIT Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “REIT Merger”), and OP Merger Sub will merge with and into RTL OP, with RTL OP continuing as the surviving entity (the “OP Merger,” and, together with the REIT Merger, the “Merger”).

 

In addition, conditioned on the completion of the REIT Merger, GNL also entered into an agreement to internalize the advisory and property management functions of GNL and RTL through the acquisition by GNL of the GNL Advisor, the GNL Property Manager, the RTL Advisor and the RTL Property Manager (collectively, the “Internalization Parties”), all of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of AR Global Investments, LLC (“Advisor Parent”), through the merger of wholly-owned subsidiaries of GNL into the Internalization Parties (the “Internalization Merger” and, together with the REIT Merger and the OP Merger, the “Proposed Transactions”). The Proposed Transactions are conditional upon one another and accordingly are considered “related” and treated as a single transaction for accounting and reporting purposes.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the estimated effects of the Proposed Transactions, and the related financing transactions. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by GNL in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the Proposed Transactions as follows:

 

·The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of GNL, RTL and the Internalization Parties, giving effect to the Proposed Transactions as if they had occurred on June 30, 2023.

 

·The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 combine the historical operating results of GNL, RTL and the Internalization Parties, giving effect to the Proposed Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2022.

 

·The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 combine the historical operating results of GNL, RTL (as adjusted for the effects of RTL’s acquisition of the CIM Portfolio - see below) and the Internalization Parties, giving effect to these transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2022.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, described above, gives effect to the acquisition by RTL of 81 properties from certain subsidiaries of CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. (the “CIM Portfolio”), as if that acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022. RTL acquired the CIM Portfolio in seven closings during the year ended December 31, 2022. See Note 2 — Basis of Presentation to the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for additional information.

 

The pro forma condensed information is not necessarily indicative of what GNL’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the merger been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of GNL.

 

The Proposed Transactions are considered a single business combination and GNL will be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. The acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to commence or progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the company’s future results of operations and financial position.

 

Both GNL, RTL and certain of the Internalization Parties and their related parties were in litigation with Blackwells/Related Parties. On May 4, 2023, the various parties entered into a Cooperation and Release Agreement. In exchange for a release of all claims by the Blackwells/Related Parties, the Cooperation and Release Agreement, among other things, provides for (i) an expense reimbursement paid in cash to Blackwells of approximately $17.6 million (to be shared equally by GNL and RTL), (ii) the issuance of 495,000 shares of GNL Common Stock (which occurred on July 10, 2023), (iii) a Consulting Agreement with Blackwells whereby they may receive up to an additional 1.6 million shares of GNL Common Stock to be paid in monthly installments upon consummation of the Proposed Transactions and (iv) an indemnification of Blackwells not to exceed $10.0 million. The number of shares that would be issued under the Cooperation and Release Agreement would be reduced to 533,333 shares of GNL common stock (i.e., one-third of the maximum amount) in the event that the Proposed Transactions are terminated pursuant to the stockholders not approving the transactions, and to 1,066,667 shares of GNL common stock (i.e., two-thirds of the maximum amount) if the Proposed Transactions are terminated for any other reason. The financial impact of the Cooperation and Release Agreements is reflected in RTL’s quarterly period ended June 30, 2023 and in GNL’s quarterly period ended June 30, 2023 and will end when substantial services under the consulting arrangement are completed. As of June 30, 2023, RTL has expensed $8.8M related to (i) above, which consists of expense reimbursement of which there are no remaining future payments, within the Settlement Costs line item of the June 30, 2023 income statement. As of June 30, 2023, GNL has expensed the following within the Settlement Costs line item (1) $8.8 million related to (i) above, which consists of expense reimbursement of which there are no remaining future payments, (2) $4.9 million related to (ii) above, of which there are no anticipated future expenses and (3) $1.3 million related to (iii) above, the Consulting Agreement of which there are additional future costs expected to be incurred through the third quarter of 2023.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED

COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 — Description of Transaction

 

On May 23, 2023, GNL, RTL and REIT Merger Sub entered into a merger agreement that provides for the acquisition of RTL by GNL. Subject to approval of GNL and RTL shareholders and the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by law) waiver of certain other closing conditions, GNL will acquire RTL through the merger of RTL with and into Merger Sub, and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of GNL. Under the REIT Merger Agreement, the RTL stockholders will receive 0.670 shares of GNL Common Stock, par value $0.01 (the “GNL Common Stock”) for each share of RTL’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01. Also under the REIT Merger Agreement, the RTL preferred stockholders will receive equivalent classes of GNL preferred stock equal in all respects to the terms of the respective RTL preferred share classes.

 

Also on May 23, 2023, GNL, RTL and certain merger subsidiaries also entered into an agreement pursuant to which, and subject to the REIT Merger being completed, GNL will acquire the GNL Advisor, the GNL Property Manager, the RTL Advisor and the RTL Property Manager (the “Internalization Parties”). GNL will acquire the Internalization Parties from Advisor Parent, with (i) cash consideration of $50.0 million and (ii) the issuance of 29,614,825 shares of GNL Common Stock (based on a considered value of $325.0 million divided by the five-day volume-weighted average price of GNL’s Common Stock as of market close on May 11, 2023). As a result of acquiring the Internalization Parties, GNL will no longer be externally managed.

 

The Internalization Parties will merge with wholly-owned subsidiaries of GNL. Certain of the existing advisory and property management agreements with Advisor Parent will be terminated and GNL will hire its own workforce to perform these functions. GNL is obligated to hire certain of the persons currently employed by the Internalization Parties or their affiliates and must also assume certain employment agreements. GNL will also acquire other assets from the Internalization Parties necessary for its business, such as various licensing agreements, office space, equipment and software. GNL will assume all outstanding debts of RTL other than the RTL Credit Facility, subject to certain lender consents. GNL expects to exercise the accordion feature in its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2022, by and among GNL OP, as borrower, GNL and the other guarantors party thereto, KeyBank National Association, as agent, and the other lender parties thereto (as amended to date, the “GNL Credit Facility”) to increase the commitments under the GNL Credit Facility by $500.0 million to facilitate the repayment of the RTL Credit Facility and to create additional availability after the Proposed Transactions are completed.

 

The REIT Merger and the Internalization Merger are conditional upon one another and, accordingly, are considered “related” and treated as a single transaction for accounting and reporting purposes.

 

 

 

 

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED

COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations, which requires the determination of the acquiror, the merger date, the fair value of assets and liabilities of the acquiree and the measurement of goodwill. GNL’s management has determined that GNL represents the accounting acquiror in the Proposed Transactions based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in ASC 805 and the facts and circumstances specific to these transactions. As a result, GNL will record the business combination in its financial statements and will apply the acquisition method to account for the acquired assets and liabilities of RTL and the Internalization Parties upon completion of the Proposed Transactions. Applying the acquisition method includes recording the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values, and recording goodwill for the excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Proposed Transactions. Additionally, the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X.

 

To prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, GNL adjusted RTL’s and the Internalization Parties’ assets and liabilities to their estimated combined fair values based on preliminary valuation work. As of the date of this Form 8-K filing, GNL has not completed the detailed valuation work necessary to finalize the required estimated fair values and estimated lives of RTL’s and the Internalization Parties’ assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed and the related allocation of the purchase price. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the transaction is completed and after completion of an analysis to determine the estimated fair value of RTL’s and Internalization Parties’ assets and liabilities, and associated tax adjustments. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments.

 

Transactions among and between GNL, RTL and the Internalization Parties, reflecting historical normal course of business during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, have been eliminated. Also, as of the date of this Form 8-K filing, GNL has not identified all adjustments necessary to conform RTL’s and the Internalization Parties’ accounting policies to GNL’s accounting policies. GNL will conduct a final review of RTL’s and the Internalization Parties’ accounting policies as of the date of the completion of the Proposed Transactions in an effort to determine if differences in accounting policies require adjustment or reclassification of RTL’s and the Internalization Parties’ results of operations or reclassification of assets or liabilities to conform to GNL’s accounting policies and classifications.

 

The CIM Portfolio Acquisition

 

RTL acquired 81 properties from certain subsidiaries of CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. (the “CIM Portfolio”), in seven closings during the year ended December 31, 2022. As a result, the values presented as Historical RTL, in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 do not include the results of operations of the CIM Portfolio from January 1, 2022 through their respective acquisition dates in 2022, prior to the acquisition of the CIM Portfolio by RTL.

 

Values presented as Historical CIM Portfolio in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 were derived from the historical records of the CIM Portfolio. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 give effect to RTL’s acquisition of the CIM Portfolio as if that acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022.

 

The details of the pro forma effects of RTL’s acquisition of the CIM Portfolio are contained in RTL’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed February 27, 2023.

 

Adjustments to Historical RTL Balance Sheet

 

To conform the presentation of RTL’s historical balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 to GNL’s balance sheet presentation, the following adjustments to RTL’s historical balance sheet were made:

 

·Reclassification of $9.4 million of RTL’s construction in progress from RTL’s presentation within prepaid expenses and other assets to GNL’s presentation within real estate, at cost.
·Reclassification of $2.7 million of RTL’s amounts prepaid to related parties from RTL’s presentation within prepaid expenses and other assets to GNL’s presentation within due from related parties.
·Reclassification of $0.9 million of RTL’s amounts payable to related parties from RTL’s presentation within accounts payable and accrued expenses to GNL’s presentation within due to related parties.

Note 3 — Consideration Transferred and Purchase Price Allocation

 

Consideration to be Transferred

 

The following table presents a preliminary estimate of consideration expected to be transferred to affect the acquisition. The equity compensation portion of the consideration to be transferred was based on the outstanding share or unit count as of June 30, 2023 and the closing price of the relative equity instruments issued as of August 7, 2023. A change of 10% in the closing price per share of GNL’s common stock, RTL’s Series A preferred stock and RTL’s Series C preferred stock would increase or decrease the estimated fair value of share consideration transferred by approximately $162.4 million.

The purchase price allocation presented above has not been finalized. The final determination of the allocation of the purchase price will be based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the actual closing date of the Proposed Transactions and will be completed after the Proposed Transactions are consummated. The final determination of these estimated fair values, the assets’ useful lives and the depreciation and amortization methods are dependent upon certain valuations and other analyses that have not yet been completed, and as previously stated could differ materially from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The final determination will be completed as soon as practicable but no later than one year after the consummation of the Proposed Transactions. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the net assets acquired, as compared to the information shown herein, could change the portion of the purchase consideration allocable to goodwill and could impact the operating results of the pro forma GNL Combined Company following the Proposed Transactions due to differences in the allocation of the purchase consideration, as well as changes in the depreciation and amortization related to some of the acquired assets.
