Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 3, 2026, Global Net Lease, Inc. ("GNL"), together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, GNL Motion Merger Sub, LLC ("REIT Merger Sub"), Global Net Lease Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and GNL Motion OpCo Merger Sub, LLC ("Opco Merger Sub" and, together with GNL, REIT Merger Sub and the Operating Partnership, the "GNL Parties") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Modiv Industrial, Inc. (the "Modiv") and Modiv Operating Partnership, LP (the "Modiv Operating Partnership" and, together with Modiv, the "Modiv Parties").
The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved unanimously by Modiv's board of directors (the "Modiv Board") and unanimously by the members of the board of directors of GNL (the "Board") present at a duly convened meeting of the Board. Additionally, each of (1) GNL, as the sole member and manager of REIT Merger Sub and the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, and the Operating Partnership, as the sole member and manager of OpCo Merger Sub, and (2) Modiv, as the general partner of the Modiv Operating Partnership, have approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Modiv will merge with and into REIT Merger Sub with REIT Merger Sub being the surviving entity (such merger transaction, the "Modiv Merger" and such surviving entity, the "Surviving Company") at the effective time of the Modiv Merger (the "Modiv Merger Effective Time"). Contemporaneously therewith or immediately following the Modiv Merger, OpCo Merger Sub will merge with and into the Modiv Operating Partnership with the Modiv Operating Partnership being the surviving entity (such merger transaction, the "OpCo Merger" and, together with the Modiv Merger, the "Mergers") at the effective time of the OpCo Merger (the "OpCo Merger Effective Time").
Merger Consideration
At the Modiv Merger Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) each share of Class C common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Modiv(the "Modiv Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Modiv Merger Effective Time, other than any issued and outstanding shares of Modiv Common Stock or Modiv Preferred Shares owned by GNL, REIT Merger Sub or any subsidiary of GNL, REIT Merger Sub or Modiv immediately prior to the Modiv Merger Effective Time ("Excluded Shares"), will be converted into the right to receive 1.975 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of GNL (the "GNL Common Stock", and such shares of GNL Common Stock issued to the holders of Modiv Common Stock, the "Modiv Common Stock Merger Consideration"), without interest, plus the right to receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of GNL Common Stock, if any, without interest, and (ii) each share of the 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Modiv (the "Modiv Preferred Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Modiv Merger Effective Time, other than any Excluded Shares, will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $25.00, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, if any, to but not including, the Closing Date (the "Modiv Preferred Stock Merger Consideration"). Immediately prior to the OpCo Merger Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each outstanding unit of Class X limited partnership interest in the Modiv Operating Partnership will immediately vest in full and be converted into one unit of Class C limited partnership interest (the "Modiv Operating Partnership Class C Units") in the Modiv Operating Partnership. At the OpCo Merger Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each outstanding Modiv Operating Partnership Class C Unit (other than Modiv Operating Partnership Class C Units held by GNL, the Operating Partnership, the Surviving Company, OpCo Merger Sub, Modiv or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries immediately prior to the OpCo Merger Effective Time) will be converted into the right to receive 1.975 units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership designated as OP Units (as defined in the GNL OpCo Partnership Agreement (defined below), and such OP Units issued at the OpCo Merger Effective Time, the "OpCo Merger Consideration OP Units"), plus the right to receive cash in lieu of any fractional OP Units, if any, without interest. Following the Modiv Merger Effective Time, the Modiv Common Stock and Modiv Preferred Stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
Representations, Warranties and Covenants

Such termination fee is subject to limitations based on GNL's or Modiv's, as applicable, ongoing requirements to operate as a REIT.
