<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">NEW YORK--(<U>BUSINESS WIRE</U>)--Blackwells Capital
LLC (together with its affiliates, &ldquo;Blackwells&rdquo; or &ldquo;we&rdquo;) today announced that Glass, Lewis &amp; Co LLC (&ldquo;Glass
Lewis&rdquo;), a leading independent proxy advisory firm, has endorsed its case for boardroom change at Global Net Lease, Inc. (NYSE:

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In supporting Blackwells&rsquo; case for change,
Glass Lewis has recommended that stockholders vote on the <B><U>WHITE</U></B> universal proxy card to elect both of its highly qualified
and independent candidates &ndash; Jim Lozier and Richard O&rsquo;Toole &ndash; to GNL and RTL&rsquo;s Board of Directors (the &ldquo;Boards&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Glass Lewis&rsquo; recommendation follows Institutional
Shareholder Services, Inc. (&ldquo;ISS&rdquo;) recommendation to withhold support from GNL and RTL&rsquo;s incumbent director candidates.
In its report, ISS highlighted that the unilateral bylaw amendment contrived by the directors of GNL and RTL to disenfranchise shareholders
and deny them the opportunity to vote for Blackwells&rsquo; nominees was contrived and nothing more than an entrenchment tactic among
highlighting other numerous governance deficiencies.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">This years&rsquo; ISS report follows reports from
the last two years where ISS has repeatedly refused to endorse the incumbent nominees at GNL and RTL.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Jason Aintabi, Founder and Chief Investment Officer
of Blackwells, commented:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-indent: 0pt; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify">&ldquo;We believe the time has come to say goodnight
to the AR Global complex. With Glass Lewis and ISS now shining spotlights on the severe issues affecting investors at GNL and RTL, Blackwells
again calls on Michael Weil and his putative puppet-master Nick Schorch to stop managing all forms of public assets. The years of abysmal
results at each publicly listed entity under the millstone of AR Global, juxtaposed against the astronomical fees that AR Global continues
to accumulate, is no longer tolerable. We will continue our fight to ensure that shareholders have a vote at this year&rsquo;s annual
meetings despite what we believe are continued attempts to hold phony elections.&rdquo;</P>

we believe there are several reasons shareholders should vote on the Dissident&rsquo;s WHITE proxy card at this time. <B><U>Central to
this view are Glass Lewis&rsquo; long-standing concerns with the Company&rsquo;s corporate governance policies, classified board structure,
external management structure, director commitments and affiliations, disregard of fundamental shareholder rights, and unresponsiveness
to the shareholder dissatisfaction</U></B> which has been expressed repeatedly at the Company&rsquo;s prior annual meetings.&rdquo;</I></P>
