GAAP capitalization rate is a rate of return on a real estate investment property based on the expected, straight - lined rental i ncome that the property will generate under its existing lease. GAAP capitalization rate is calculated by dividing the income the property will generate (before debt service and depreciation and after fixed costs and variable costs ) b y the acquisition price of the property. 2. The acquisitions of the $154.4 million in contract purchase price of properties are subject to customary closing conditions, and there can be no assurance they will be completed on their current terms, or at all.

19 COMPREHENSIVE HEDGING PROGRAM GNL continues to employ a comprehensive hedging program, with a number of components designed to limit the impact of currency and interest rate movements to its European portfolio Hedging Foreign Currency Exchange Risk (“Cash Flow Hedging Instruments”) • Provides protection against unfavorable movements in EUR and GBP versus the U.S. Dollar (“USD”) associated with the Company’s foreign property operations Interest Rate Swaps: Fixing Interest on Floating Rate Debt • Cost effective tools that mitigate against adverse fluctuations in interest rates; effectively acting to convert variable rate debt into fixed rate debt resulting in reduced exposure to variability in cash flows related to interest payments Net Investment Hedges: Asset – Liability Matching • Matches the value of assets with liabilities in the same currency (EUR or GBP), creating a “natural hedge” on the value of GNL assets against movement in FX rates vs USD The Euro contracts hedge an additional 5.5 million Euros of cash flows from the first quarter of 2019 through the second quarter of 2021. The British Pound contracts also hedge an additional 5.5 million Pounds of cash flows from the first quarter of 2019 through the second quarter of 2021. These hedges are consistent with GNL’s disciplined strategy of layering hedges against the two currencies over upcoming quarters to manage our exposure to both currencies.

As a result, our executive officers, the Advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by the Advisor's compensation arrangements with us and other investment programs advised by AR Global affiliates and conflicts in allocating time among these investment programs and us . These conflicts could result in unanticipated actions . • Because investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other investment programs advised by affiliates of AR Global, the Advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase of properties and other investments and these conflicts may not be resolved in our favor . • We are obligated to pay fees which may be substantial to the Advisor and its affiliates . • We depend on tenants for our rental revenue and, accordingly, our rental revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants . • Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders . • The Advisor may not be able to identify a sufficient number of property acquisitions satisfying our investment objectives on acceptable terms and prices, or at all . • We may be unable to continue to raise additional debt or equity financing on attractive terms, or at all, and there can be no assurance we will be able to fund the acquisitions contemplated by our investment objectives . • We may be unable to repay, refinance, restructure or extend our indebtedness as it becomes due . • Adverse changes in exchange rates may reduce the value of our properties located outside of the United States ("U . S . ") .

23 RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED) • We may be unable to pay or maintain cash dividends on our 7 . 25 % Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) . • Our credit facility may limit our ability to pay dividends to holders of Series A Preferred Stock . • We may be unable to pay cash dividends on our common stock, $ 0 . 01 par value per share ("Common Stock") at the current rate, or increase dividends over time . • We may not generate cash flows sufficient to pay dividends to our stockholders or fund our operations, and, as such, we may be forced to borrow at unfavorable rates to pay dividends to our stockholders or fund our operations . • Any dividends that we pay on our Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock may exceed cash flow from operations, reducing the amount of capital available to invest in properties and other permitted investments . • We are subject to risks associated with our international investments, including risks associated with compliance with and changes in foreign laws, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and inflation . Our ability to refinance or sell properties located in the United Kingdom and continental Europe may be impacted by the economic and political uncertainty caused by the Brexit Process . • We are subject to risks associated with any dislocations or liquidity disruptions that may exist or occur in the credit markets of the U . S . and Europe from time to time . • We may fail to continue to qualify, as a real estate investment trust for U . S . federal income tax purposes ("REIT"), which would result in higher taxes, may adversely affect operations and would reduce the trading price of our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock and our cash available for dividends .

24 RISK FACTORS (CONTINUED) • We may be exposed to risks due to a lack of tenant diversity, investment types and geographic diversity . • The revenue derived from, and the market value of, properties located in the United Kingdom and continental Europe may decline as a result of the U . K . 's discussions with respect to exiting the European Union (the “Brexit Process”) . • We may be exposed to changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including the possibility of intensified international hostilities, acts of terrorism, and changes in conditions of U . S . or international lending, capital and financing markets, including as a result of the Brexit Process

These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in these publications and repo rts .

26 DEFINITIONS • Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), an industry trade group, has promulgated a measure known as funds from operations ("FFO"), which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT . FFO is not equivalent to net income or loss as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") . • We define FFO, a non - GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004 (the "White Paper") . The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property but including asset impairment write - downs, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures . Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO . Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT's definition . • The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight - line depreciation of buildings and improvements, and straight - line amortization of intangibles, which implies that the value of a real estate asset diminishes predictably over time, especially if not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances or as requested or required by lessees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value disclosed . We believe that, because real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation and certain other items may be less informative . Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP . Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP . Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization, among other things, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income . However, FFO, core funds from operations ("Core FFO") and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance . The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non - GAAP FFO, Core FFO and AFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO, Core FFO and AFFO . Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition (as we do) or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do or calculate Core FFO or AFFO differently than we do . Consequently, our presentation of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs . • We consider FFO, Core FFO and AFFO useful indicators of our performance . Because FFO calculations exclude such factors as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful - life estimates), FFO facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs in our peer group .

27 DEFINITIONS (CONTINUED) • Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed - as - incurred model) that were put into effect in 2009 and other changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT's definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash - settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses for all industries as items that are expensed under GAAP . • Core FFO is FFO, excluding acquisition and transaction related costs as well as certain other costs that are considered to be non - core, such as charges relating to fire loss and other costs related to damage at our properties . The purchase of properties, and the corresponding expenses associated with that process, is a key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flows in order to make dividend payments to stockholders . In evaluating investments in real estate, we differentiate the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment . By excluding expensed acquisition and transaction related costs as well as non - core costs, we believe Core FFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management's analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties • We exclude certain income or expense items from AFFO that we consider more reflective of investing activities, other non - cash income and expense items and the income and expense effects of other activities that are not a fundamental attribute of our business plan . These items include early extinguishment of debt and unrealized gains and losses, which may not ultimately be realized, such as gains or losses on derivative instruments, gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, and gains and losses on investments . In addition, by excluding non - cash income and expense items such as amortization of above - market and below - market leases intangibles, amortization of deferred financing costs, straight - line rent and equity - based compensation from AFFO, we believe we provide useful information regarding income and expense items which have a direct impact on our ongoing operating performance . We also include the realized gains or losses on foreign currency exchange contracts for AFFO as such items are part of our ongoing operations and affect the current operating performance of the Company . By providing AFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information can be used to better assess the profitability of our ongoing operating performance without the impacts of transactions that are not related to the ongoing profitability of our portfolio of properties . We also believe that AFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the REIT industry . Further, we believe AFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies . However, AFFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions . Investors are cautioned that AFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance excluding these activities, as it excludes certain costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which these costs are incurred . • In calculating AFFO, we exclude certain expenses, which under GAAP are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income . All paid and accrued merger, acquisition and transaction related fees and certain other expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which expenses are incurred or properties are acquired will also have negative effects on returns to investors, but are not reflective of our on - going performance . AFFO that excludes such costs and expenses would only be comparable to companies that did not have such activities . Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non - cash fair value and other non - cash adjustments are considered operating non - cash adjustments to net income . In addition, as discussed above, we view gains and losses from fair value adjustments as items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized and not reflective of ongoing operations and are therefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance .

28 DEFINITIONS (CONTINUED) • Excluding income and expense items detailed above from our calculation of AFFO provides information consistent with management's analysis of the operating performance of the Company . Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance . By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe AFFO provides useful supplemental information . • As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance including relative to our peers and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities . • We believe that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted for acquisition and transaction - related expenses, other non - cash items and including our pro - rata share from unconsolidated joint ventures ("Adjusted EBITDA") is an appropriate measure of our ability to incur and service debt . Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of our liquidity or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating activities . Other REITs may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently and our calculation should not be compared to that of other REITs . • NOI is a non - GAAP financial measure equal to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, less discontinued operations, interest, other income and income from preferred equity investments and investment securities, plus corporate general and administrative expense, acquisition and transaction - related expenses, depreciation and amortization, other non - cash expenses and interest expense . NOI is adjusted to include our pro rata share of NOI from unconsolidated joint ventures . We use NOI internally as a performance measure and believe NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level . Therefore, we believe NOI is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of our real estate assets and to make decisions about resource allocations . Further, we believe NOI is useful to investors as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition activity on an unlevered basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income . NOI excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property's results of operations . For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset and is often incurred at the corporate level as opposed to the property level . In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance at the property level . NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently . We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, NOI should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated financial statements . NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of our liquidity . • Cash NOI, is a non - GAAP financial measure that is intended to reflect the performance of our properties . We define Cash NOI as net operating income (which is separately defined herein) excluding amortization of above/below market lease intangibles and straight - line adjustments that are included in GAAP lease revenues . We believe that Cash NOI is a helpful measure that both investors and management can use to evaluate the current financial performance of our properties and it allows for comparison of our operating performance between periods and to other REITs . Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity or our ability to fund all needs . The method by which we calculate and present Cash NOI may not be directly comparable to the way other REITs present Cash NOI .
