PROXY MESSAGE

Hi, this is Jim Nelson, CEO of Global Net Lease.

I’m calling to ask that you take a minute to cast your vote in connection with our annual meeting being held on April 19, 2022.

You should have received proxy information related to the meeting over the past couple of weeks. That package included instructions on how you can easily vote your shares by mail, over the phone or online.

This year you are being asked to vote on the election of two directors, Lee Elman and Sue Perrotty, to serve until the 2025 annual meeting, and the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Your vote matters and will help GNL to hold the required annual meeting as scheduled in a few weeks.

Our board recommends that you vote in favor of both proposals.

If you are ready to vote your shares now or have questions about the proxy, you may press 1 at any time during this message to be connected with a Broadridge proxy specialist.

If you received this as a message on your voice mail you may contact a proxy specialist at 1-800-429-5953 to vote your shares or for assistance with questions about the proxy materials.

I appreciate your investment in GNL and thank you in advance for your participation in this year’s annual meeting.
