Story continues below

On May 16, 2018, Global Net Lease, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired five properties for an aggregate purchase price of $83.0 million. To fund this amount and closing costs, the Company borrowed approximately $85.0 million under its revolving credit facility and added the acquired properties to the pool of eligible unencumbered real estate assets owned by the Company in order to increase the availability of borrowings under its revolving credit facility which is based on, among other things, the value of this pool of assets. As of March 31, 2018 and based on prevailing exchange rates on that date, approximately $342.0 million was outstanding and approximately $60.4 million was available for future borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Following the Company’s borrowings on May 16, 2018 and based on prevailing exchange rates on that date, approximately $423.5 million was outstanding under its revolving credit facility. While the Company generally only calculates the availability for future borrowings under its revolving credit facility on a quarterly basis, the Company expects that the amount available for future borrowings thereunder was significantly reduced following the transactions that occurred on May 16, 2018. In addition, the Company has signed definitive agreements to acquire four net lease industrial and distribution properties, all located in the United States, for an aggregate purchase price of $160.9 million (the “Pending Acquisitions”). The Pending Acquisitions are expected to close in stages by October 2018. The Pending Acquisitions are subject to conditions, and there can be no assurance they will be completed on their current terms, or at all.
