| This diversified and investment-grade tenant base not only ensure stability but also offers predictability in rental income, laying a solid foundation for our future growth |
| Michael Monahan, Vice Chairman at CB Richard Ellis joins the Board with a very successful and long career in commercial real estate, and it's just a great enhancement to an already very strong and capable board |
| So our quality of earnings is quite high and higher than others in the sector |
| But our 2024 initial guidance, as we've talked about, we think based on dispositions and cap rates is a great opportunity for the company to bring down net debt to EBITDA and hit these AFFO per share guidance range |
| We believe our diverse portfolio provides us with the flexibility and capacity to capitalize on numerous market opportunities, maximizing shareholder value over the long term |
| So things are very positive on the multi-tenant front, and you'll continue to see that fill and grow |
| In addition to the merger and internalization, 2023 also highlighted GNL's strong asset management platform capabilities with continued leasing momentum |
| So again, the real estate is desirable and tenants are paying to stay, paying to renew, which is always a very positive sign, and we will continue to expect to see those results as well |
| This outlook aligns with our goal of narrowing the trading discount and we believe these strategic initiatives will position GNL for future success that maximizes shareholder value |
| We want to reiterate that we strongly believe that the best path forward for GNL is reducing leverage through noncore and strategic dispositions to enhance our balance sheet as we aim to lower our cost of capital to position the company for future growth |
| We take great pride in our achievements at GNL throughout 2023 |
| And on behalf of the entire company, we extend our best wishes for a well-deserved and enjoyable retirement |
| We've got really good work ahead with what we've put out for guidance and dispositions and the lowering of net debt to EBITDA |
| And that -- one of our goals is to have a better cost of capital going into 2025, and that's what we're really excited about |
| So those numbers are very -- we're very confident in |
| The single-tenant segment completed 16 new leases and renewals, and showcased the positive 8% renewal leasing spread, demonstrating the strong renewal demand for our mission-critical assets while adding nearly $9 million to net straight-line rent |
| I'm again highlighting the strong asset management capabilities we demonstrated as we continue our leasing and renewal efforts |
| In particular, our fourth quarter leasing and renewal activities included over 2.1 million square feet across the entire portfolio with attractive leasing spreads on renewals that were 6% higher than the expiring rents |
| 92% of the leases in this portfolio include rent escalations with an average annual rental increase of 1.5%, positioning the portfolio to benefit from annual rental income while having a 7.7-year weighted average lease term |
| Our leasing results continue to illustrate the quality of our assets, driving leasing rates higher even in the current environment |
| Additionally, 61% of the straight line rent in this portfolio comes from Sunbelt markets, which continue to grow and have favorable demographic tailwinds |
| The quality and reliability of our tenants underscore the resilience and longevity of our business model |
| The diverse composition of our net lease portfolio is unmatched, whether measured by geography, asset type, tenant or industry and positions GNL to effectively navigate external macro challenges as we move ahead |
| Selling assets at attractive cap rates will also provide proof of value to investors and demonstrate a significant premium compared to where the company is currently trading on an implied cap rate basis |
| This disposition program will drive long-term shareholder value by generating cash to enhance and derisk our balance sheet and create a clear path forward for us to potentially narrow the trading discount compared to our net lease peers |
| This segment is predominantly comprised of triple net leases with incremental lease-up potential and attractive leasing spreads |
| There are other things that we're not quite ready to talk about yet, but we're very excited about what we're anticipating to be disposition cap rates on certain assets |
| The pipeline activity has been strong |
| The portfolio also features a stable tenant base and a high quality of earnings with an industry-leading 58% of tenants receiving an investment-grade or implied investment-grade credit rating |
| It's a great team, and I think there's a lot of great things to come |
| Statement |

| It's about $0.05 to $0.06 per quarter lower than it seemed like you were anticipating when the merger was initially announced |
| And I know that, that's dropped meaningfully with the merger down to about or so |
| For cash NOI, I do want to mention in the fourth quarter, as Mike said, there was about $2 million sort of cleanup type of items coming in, which were negatively impacted in the fourth quarter and will not be in the first quarter |
| However, that would not be meaningful at this time given the recent merger and internalization |
| Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements |
| For the fourth quarter 2023, we recorded revenue of $206.7 million and a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $59.5 million |
| The current sustained high interest rate environment does have a temporary effect on the portion of our debt that isn't fixed or swapped |
