Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information furnished includes all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 20172018 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year or any subsequent interim period.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 28, 2017.2018.

Principles of Consolidationthose relating to new accounting pronouncements (see "Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements" section below).
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the OP and its subsidiaries. All inter-companyintercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the other partners or members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined that the OP is a VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities are held by the OP.
Critical Accounting Policies

(Unaudited)

Judgments and Estimates
The Company regularly makes a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in order to prepare its consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, such as the prevailing economic and business environment. The Company adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. The most significant estimates the Company makes include recoverability of accounts receivable, allocation of property purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, determination of impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of derivative financial instruments, valuation of compensation plans, and estimating the useful life of a long-lived asset. Actual results could differ materially from those estimated.
Investments in Real Estate
Investments in real estate are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful
life of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
The Company evaluates the inputs, processes and outputs of each asset acquired to determine if the transaction is a business combination or an asset acquisition. If an acquisition qualifies as a business combination, the related transaction costs are recorded as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations. If an acquisition qualifies as an asset acquisition, the related transaction costs are generally capitalized and subsequently amortized over the useful life of the acquired assets.
In both a business combination and an asset acquisition, the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to
tangible and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets may include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements. Intangible assets or liabilities may include the value of in-place leases, above- and below- market leases and other identifiable assets or liabilities based on lease or property specific characteristics. In addition, any assumed mortgages receivable or payable and any assumed or issued non-controlling interests (in a business combination) are recorded at their estimated fair values. In allocating the fair value to assumed mortgages, amounts are recorded to debt premiums or discounts based on the present value of the estimated cash flows, which is calculated to account for either above or below-market interest rates. In a business combination, the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is either recorded as goodwill or as a bargain purchase gain. In an asset acquisition, the difference between the acquisition price (including capitalized transaction costs) and the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is allocated to the non-current assets. All acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017 were asset acquisitions.
Purchase Accounting and Acquisition of Real Estate
The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, including those acquired in the Company's merger (the "Merger"), which closed in December 2016, with American Realty Capital Global Trust II, Inc. ("Global II"), which was sponsored and advised by affiliates of AR Global, based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements on an as-if vacant basis. The Company utilizes various estimates, processes and information to determine the as-if vacant property value. Estimates of value are made using customary methods, including data from appraisals, comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis and other methods. Amounts allocated to land, land improvements, buildings and fixtures are based on cost segregation studies performed by independent third parties or on the Company's analysis of comparable properties in the Company's portfolio. Identifiable intangible assets include amounts allocated to acquire leases for above- and below-market lease rates, the value of in-place leases, and the value of customer relationships, as applicable.
Factors considered in the analysis of the in-place lease intangibles include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up period for each property, taking into account current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at contract rates during the expected lease-up period, which typically ranges from 12 to 18 months. The Company also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease, and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any

(Unaudited)

below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases. If a tenant with a below market rent renewal does not renew, any remaining unamortized amount will be taken into income at that time.
The aggregate value of intangible assets related to customer relationship, as applicable, is measured based on the Company's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company's overall relationship with the tenant. Characteristics considered by the Company in determining these values include the nature and extent of its existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors.
In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company utilizes a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. The Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of the Company's pre-acquisition due diligence in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed.
Derivative Instruments
The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest
rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. Certain of the Company's foreign operations expose the Company to fluctuations of foreign interest rates and exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of the Company's cash receipts and payments in the Company's functional currency, the U.S. dollar ("USD"). The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain obligations in terms of its functional currency.
The Company records all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair
value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in
a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to
apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
The accounting for subsequent changes in the fair value of these derivatives depends on whether each has been designed and
qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. If the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting treatment (or for derivatives that
do not qualify as hedges), any changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments is recognized immediately in gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. If a derivative is designated and qualifies for cash flow hedge accounting treatment, the change in the estimated fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) to the extent that it is effective. Any ineffective portion of a change in derivative fair value is immediately recorded in earnings.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the asset for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss is the adjustment to fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net earnings.
Goodwill
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually or upon the occurrence of a triggering event. A triggering event is an event or circumstance that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Based on our assessment we determined that the goodwill is not impaired as of June 30, 2018.
Revenue Recognition
GLOBAL NET LEASE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2018
(Unaudited)

The Company's revenues, which are derived primarily from rental income, include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease agreement and are reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Since many of the Company's leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, straight-line basis accounting requires the Company to record a receivable, and include in revenues, unbilled rent receivables that the Company will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. For new leases after acquisition, the commencement date is considered to be the date the lease is executed. The Company defers the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. When the Company acquires a property, the acquisition date is considered to be the commencement date for purposes of this calculation.
The Company reviews receivables related to rent and unbilled rent receivables and determines collectability by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectability of a receivable is in doubt, the Company records an increase in the Company's allowance for uncollectible accounts or records a direct write-off of the receivable in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
Cost recoveries from tenants are included in operating expense reimbursement in the period the related costs are incurred, as applicable.
Income Taxes
The Company qualifiedelected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013. Commencing with such taxable year, the Company washas been organized to operateand operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code. The Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner to continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, but no assurance can be given that it will operate in a manner so as to remain qualified as a REIT. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes annually all of its REIT taxable income. REIT's are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements.
The Company conducts business in various states and municipalities within the U.S. (includingand Puerto Rico),Rico, the United Kingdom and continentalWestern Europe and, as a result, the Company or one of its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and certain foreign jurisdictions. As a result, the Company may be subject to certain federal, state, local and foreign taxes on its income and assets, including alternative minimum taxes, taxes on any undistributed income and state, local or foreign income, franchise, property and transfer taxes. Any of these taxes decrease Company's earnings and available cash.

In addition, the Company's international assets and operations, including those designated as direct or indirect qualified REIT subsidiaries or other disregarded entities of a REIT, continue to be subject to taxation in the foreign jurisdictions where those assets are held or those operations are conducted. During the period from July 13, 2011 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012, the Company elected to be taxed as a corporation, pursuant to which income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, using expected tax rates in effect for each taxing jurisdiction in which the Company operates for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not, based on technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Because, the Company elected and qualified to be taxed as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013, it does not anticipate that any applicable deferred tax assets or liabilities will be realized.
Significant judgment is required in determining the Company's tax provision and in evaluating its tax positions. The Company establishes tax reserves based on a benefit recognition model, which the Company believes could result in a greater amount of benefit (and a lower amount of reserve) being initially recognized in certain circumstances. Provided that the tax position is deemed more likely than not of being sustained, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being ultimately realized upon settlement.
The Company derecognizes the tax position when the likelihood of the tax position being sustained is no longer more likely than not.
The Company recognizes deferred income taxes in certain of its subsidiaries taxable in the U.S. or in foreign jurisdictions. Deferred income taxes are generally the result of temporary differences (items that are treated differently for tax purposes than for GAAP purposes). In addition, deferred tax assets arise from unutilized tax net operating losses, generated in prior years. The Company provides a valuation allowance against its deferred income tax assets when it believes that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred income tax asset may not be realized. Whenever a change in circumstances causes a change in the estimated realizability of the related deferred income tax asset, the resulting increase or decrease in the valuation allowance is included in deferred income tax expense (benefit).
The Company derives most of its REIT taxable income from its real estate operations in the U.S. and has historically distributed all of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders. As such, the Company's real estate operations are generally not subject to federal tax, and accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. federal income taxes in the consolidated financial statements for these operations. These operations may be subject to certain state, local, and foreign taxes, as applicable.
The Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are primarily the result of temporary differences related to the following:
Basis differences between tax and GAAP for certain international real estate investments. For income tax purposes, in certain acquisitions, the Company assumes the seller’s basis, or the carry-over basis, in the acquired assets. The carry-over basis is typically lower than the purchase price, or the GAAP basis, resulting in a deferred tax liability with an offsetting increase to goodwill or the acquired tangible or intangible assets;
Timing differences generated by differences in the GAAP basis and the tax basis of assets such as those related to capitalized acquisition costs and depreciation expense; and
Tax net operating losses in certain subsidiaries, including those domiciled in foreign jurisdictions that may be realized in future periods if the respective subsidiary generates sufficient taxable income.

The Company concluded that this adjustment was not material to the financial position or results of operations for the current period or any prior period.
Also, during the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company identified certain historical errors in its current taxes payable as well as its statement of comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statement of changes in equity, and statement of cash flows since 2013 which impacted the quarterly financial statements and annual periods previously issued. Specifically, when recording its annual provision, the Company had adjusted its current taxes payable to the cumulative amount of taxes payable without consideration for cumulative payments. This adjustment was made with an offsetting amount in cumulative translation adjustments within other comprehensive income ("OCI") and accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). As of December 31, 2016, income taxes payable were overstated and AOCI was understated by $4.7 million. OCI was understated by $2.9 million, $1.9 million and overstated by $0.1 million for the years end December 31, 2016, 2015 and Pre-2015, respectively. We concluded that the errors noted above were not material to the current period or any historical periods presented and have adjusted the amounts on a cumulative basis in the year ended December 31, 2017.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted as of January 1, 2018:
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and has since issued several additional amendments thereto (collectively referred to herein as "ASC 606"). ASC 606 establishes a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under ASC 606, an entity is required to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in ASC 606 using either a modified retrospective approach, by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or a full retrospective approach. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018, for all future financial statements issued, under the modified retrospective approach and it did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Also, in February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which updated guidance previously issued by ASU 2016-01. The guidance in ASU 2016-01 and 2018-01 amends the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to equity investments and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. Among other things, it also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 and ASU 2018-03 effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method, and there was no material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides guidance on how certain transactions should be classified and presented in the statement of cash flows as either operating, investing or financing activities. Among other things, the update provides specific guidance on where to classify debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, payments for contingent consideration made after a business combination and distributions received from equity method investments. The Company adopted the new guidance beginning in the first quarter of 2018, with reclassification of prior period amounts, where applicable, and it did not have a significant impact on its statement of cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted:
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships. Under the new guidance, the novation of a derivative contract in a hedge accounting relationship does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedge accounting relationship. The hedge accounting relationship could continue uninterrupted if all of the other hedge accounting criteria are met, including the expectation that the hedge will be highly effective when the creditworthiness of the new counterparty to the derivative contract is considered. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein. The Company has adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2017, and has applied the provisions prospectively. The adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2016, the FASB issued an update on ASU 2016-09 Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The guidance changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based compensation. Among other things, the revised guidance allows companies to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. The revised guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company has adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2017, and has applied the provisions prospectively. The adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17 Interest Held through Related Parties that Are under Common Control (Topic 810) guidance where a reporting entity will need to evaluate if it should consolidate a VIE. The amendments change the evaluation of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by changing how a single decision maker of a VIE treats indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity. The revised guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company has adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2017, and has applied the provisions prospectively. The adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, (Topic 805) guidance thatwhich revises the definition of a business. Amongst other things, this new guidance is applicable when evaluating whether an acquisition (disposal) should be treated as either a business acquisition (disposal) or an asset acquisition (disposal). Under the revised guidance, when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets, the assets acquired would not be considered a business. The revised guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the amendments will be applied prospectively. The Company hasearly adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2017, and has applied2017. While the provisions prospectively. While Company's acquisitions have historically been classified as either business combinations or asset acquisitions, certain acquisitions that were classified as business combinations by the Company likely would have been considered asset acquisitions under the new standard. As a result, future transaction costs are more likely to be capitalized since the Company expects most of its future acquisitions to be classified as asset acquisitions under this new standard.

Pending Adoption:
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under the revised guidance, an entity is required to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The revised guidance allows entities to apply either a full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method upon adoption. In July 2015, the FASB finalized a one-year delay All of the revised guidance, although entities will be allowed to early adopt the guidanceCompany's acquisitions during 2018 and 2017 have been classified as of the original effective date. The new guidance will be effective in the Company's 2018 fiscal year. The Company is evaluating the impact of the implementation of this guidance, including performing a preliminary review of all revenue streams to identify any differences in the timing, measurement or presentation of revenue recognition. The Company is continuing to evaluate the allowable methods of adoption.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10). The revised guidance amends the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to equity investments and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. Among other things, it also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The revised guidance is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted for most of the amendments in the update. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases (ASC 842), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The ASU is expected to impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company has certain operating and land lease arrangements for which it is the lessee. ASC 842 supersedes the previous leases standard, ASC 840 Leases. The standard is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). The guidance requires an entity to determine whether the nature of its promise to provide goods or services to a customer is performed in a principal or agent capacity and to recognize revenue in a gross or net manner based on its principal/agent designation. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments in this update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606 but rather, clarify aspects of identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. The amendment is effective on the same date as ASU 2014-09, which is not yet effective. The Company is evaluating the impact of the implementation of this guidance, including performing a preliminary review of all revenue streams to identify any differences in the timing, measurement or presentation of revenue recognition. The Company is continuing to evaluate the allowable methods of adoption.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The amendments provide clarifying guidance in a few narrow areas and add some practical expedients to the guidance. The amendments are expected to reduce the degree of judgment necessary to comply with Topic 606, which the FASB expects will reduce the potential for diversity arising in practice and reduce the cost and complexity of applying the guidance. The amendment is effective on the same date as ASU 2014-09, which is not yet effective. The Company is evaluating the impact of the implementation of this guidance, including performing a preliminary review of all revenue streams to identify any differences in the timing, measurement or presentation of revenue recognition.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) guidance on how certain transactions should be classified and presented in the statement of cash flows as either operating, investing or financing activities. Among other things, the update provides specific guidance on where to classify debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, payments for contingent consideration made after a business combination and distributions received from equity method investments. The revised guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (Topic 230) guidance on the classification of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The amendment requires restricted cash to be included in the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total cash amounts. Therefore, transfers between cash and restricted cash will no longer be shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) guidance on simplifying subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this update modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists to when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. An entity no longer will determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The revised guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and the amendments will be applied prospectively. Early application is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.

Historically, the Company has not retained any interest in properties it has sold.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides guidance that clarifies which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The update states that modification accounting should be used unless the fair value of the award, the vesting terms of the award, and the classification of the award as either equity or liability, doesall do not change as a result of the modification. The revisedCompany adopted this guidance iseffective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company expects that any future modifications to the Company's issued share-based awards will be accounted for using modification accounting, unless the modification meets all of the exception criteria noted above. As a result, the modification would be treated as an exchange of the original award for a new award, with any incremental fair value being treated as additional compensation cost.
Pending Adoption as of June 30, 2018:
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income(Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The new guidance addresses the impact of Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law on December 22, 2017, (“Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”) on items within accumulated other comprehensive income which do not reflect the appropriate tax rate. ASU 2018-02 allows the Company to retrospectively reclassify the income tax effects on items in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings for all periods in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate was recognized. In addition, all companies are required to disclose whether the company has elected to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to retained earnings and disclose information about any other income tax effects that are reclassified from AOCI by the Company. The amendments are effective for annual periodsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017.fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for reporting periods forpermitted. Companies are required to apply the proposed amendments either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which financial statements have not yet been issued. the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
IASU 2016-02, nLeases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842") originally stated that companies would be required to bifurcate certain lease revenues between lease and non-lease components, however, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, in July 2018 ("ASU 2018-11"), which allows lessors a practical expedient by class of underlying assets to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component if certain criteria are met. Additionally, only incremental direct leasing costs may be capitalized under this new guidance, which is consistent with the Company’s existing policies. ASC 842 originally required a modified retrospective method of adoption, however, ASU 2018-11 indicates that companies may be permitted to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The pronouncement allows some optional practical expedients. The Company does not expect this guidance to impact its existing lessor revenue recognition pattern. The Company expects to adopt this new guidance on January 1, 2019 and will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance until it becomes effective.

upon adoption of this update. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual lease classification approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes how entities measure credit losses for financial assets carried at amortized cost. The update eliminates the requirement that a credit loss must be probable before it can be recognized and instead requires an entity to recognize the current estimate of all expected credit losses. Additionally, the update requires credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be carried as an allowance rather than as a direct write-down of the asset. The amendments become effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Non-controllingNon-Controlling Interests with a Scope Exception guidance that changes the method to determine the classification of certain financial instruments with a down round feature as liabilities or equity instruments and clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. A down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability, rather, an entity that presents earnings per share is required to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features. The revised guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Adoption should be applied retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815):Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The purpose of this updated guidance is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The transition guidance provides companies with the option of early adopting the new standard using a modified retrospective transition method in any interim period after issuance of the update, or alternatively requires adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. This adoption method will require the Company to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year that the Company adopts the update. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of the standard, the Company currently expects adoption to have an immaterial impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation- Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting as an amendment and update expanding the scope of Topic 718. The amendment specifies that Topic 718 now applies to all share-based payment transactions, even non-employee awards, in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. Under the new guidance, awards to nonemployees are measured on the grant date, rather than on the earlier of the performance commitment date or the date at which the nonemployee’s performance is complete. Also, the awards would be measured by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments to be issued, rather than the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be measured more reliably. In addition, entities may use the expected term to measure nonemployee awards or elect to use the contractual term as the expected term, on an award-by-award basis. The new guidance is effective for the Company in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects this amendment to impact the award made to the Advisor pursuant to the new multi-year outperformance agreement entered into with the Advisor in July 2018 (the "2018 OPP," see Note 14 — Subsequent Events for details) and is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

The Letter Agreement provided for reimbursement of the Excess Amount to Global II through (1) the tender of 22,115 Class B Units of limited partnership interest of Global II’s OP ("Global II Class B Units"), previously issued to the Global II Advisor as payment in lieu of cash for its provision of asset management services, and (2) the payment of the balance of the Excess Amount in equal cash installments over an eight-month period. The value of the Excess Amount was determined using a valuation for each Global II Class B Unit based on the 30-day volume weighted average price of each share of Common Stock on the Merger Date.

Under the Prior Credit Facility, the Company had the option, to have draws under the Term Facility and (ii) $409.0 million, £40.0 million ($52.2 million USD equivalent) and €30.0 million ($34.7 million USD equivalent) borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility. The proceeds from the NewPrior Credit Facility along with $4.9 millionpriced at either the Alternate Base Rate (as described below) plus, depending upon the Company's consolidated leverage ratio, 0.60% to 1.20% or at Adjusted LIBOR (as described below) plus, depending upon the Company's consolidated leverage ratio, 1.60% to 2.20%. The Alternate Base Rate was defined in the Prior Credit Facility as a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the fluctuating annual rate of interest announced from cashtime to time by the lender as its “prime rate” in effect on hand, were usedsuch day, (b) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus half of 1%, and (c) the Adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period on such day plus 1%. Adjusted LIBOR was defined as LIBOR multiplied by the statutory reserve rate, as determined by the Federal Reserve System of the United States. The Prior Credit Facility agreement required the Company to repaypay an unused fee per annum of 0.25% if the $725.8 millionunused balance of indebtedness outstanding under the Prior Credit Facility.
The availabilityFacility exceeded or was equal to 50% of borrowings under the Revolvingavailable facility or a fee per annum of 0.15% if the unused balance of the Prior Credit Facility is based on the value of a pool of eligible unencumbered real estate assets owned by the Company and compliance with various ratios related to those assets. Following the closing, $4.1 million was available for future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Any future borrowings may, at the optionless than 50% of the Company, be denominated in USD, Euros, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds Sterling or Swiss Francs. Amounts borrowed may not, however, be converted to, or repaid in, another currency once incurred.
In connection with the Company’s replacement of its existing Credit Facility with its New Credit Facility, and the change in borrowings by currency resulting therefrom, the Company terminated its existing £160.3 million notional GBP-LIBOR interest rate swap and entered into a new $150.0 million notional five year USD-LIBOR interest rate swap. Additionally, the Company novated its existing €224.4 million notional Euribor interest rate swap from its existing counterparty to a new counterparty.
Bridge Loan Facility

Note 76 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
GLOBAL NET LEASE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2017
(Unaudited)

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.liability and those inputs are significant.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
GLOBAL NET LEASE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2018
(Unaudited)

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be rare.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with those derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. As of June 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company's derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The valuation of derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company's potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the counterparties.

The following discussion provides a description of the impact on a fair value measurement of a change in each unobservable input in isolation. For the relationship described below, the inverse relationship would also generally apply.
Expected volatility is a measure of the variability in possible returns for an instrument, parameter or market index given how much the particular instrument, parameter or index changes in value over time. Generally, the higher the expected volatility of the underlying instrument, parameter or market index, the wider the range of potential future returns. An increase in expected volatility, in isolation, would generally result in an increase in the fair value measurement of an instrument.
Financial Instruments not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate value. The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, due to/from related parties, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, deferred rent and dividends payable approximate their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets due to their short-term nature. The fair values of the Company's remaining financial instruments that are not reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are reported below.

Note 87 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. Certain of the Company's foreign investmentsoperations expose the Company to fluctuations inof foreign interest rates and exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of the Company’s cash receipts and payments in terms of the Company’s functional currency. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain obligations in terms of its functional currency, the USD.

In addition to the above derivative arrangements, the Company also uses non-derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations as part of its risk management program, including foreign denominated debt issued and outstanding with third parties to protect the value of its net investments in foreign subsidiaries against exchange rate fluctuations. The Company draws foreign currency advances under its Credit Facility to fund certain investments in the respective local currency which creates a natural hedge against the original equity invested in the real estate investments, removing the need for the final cross currency swaps (See Note 5 — Credit Borrowings). As further discussed below, in conjunction with the restructuring of the cross currency swaps on February 4, 2015, foreign currency advances of €110.5 million and £68.5 million were drawn under the Company’s Credit Facility. The Company separately designated each foreign currency draw as a net investment hedge under ASC 815. Effective May 17, 2015, the Company modified the hedging relationship and designated all current and future foreign currency draws as net investment hedges.
Interest Rate SwapsRisk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate swapsderivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

In connection with the July 24, 2017 refinancing of the Prior Credit Facility, the Company terminated an interest rate swap with notional amount of £160.0 million for a payment of $2.6 million. This swap was designated as a cash flow hedge on the Company's GBP borrowings which were partially paid off. As a result of the termination, the Company accelerated the reclassification of amounts in other comprehensive income to earnings as a result of the hedged forecasted transactions becoming probable not to occur. The portion of the termination payment relating to the GBP borrowings that were paid off resulted in a charge to earnings of $1.1 million, included in loss on derivative instruments in the third quarter of 2017. The remaining amount relating to GBP borrowings still outstanding will remain in AOCI and be recorded as an adjustment to interest expense over the term of the related GBP borrowings.
In connection with the July 24, 2017 refinancing of the Prior Credit Facility, the Company novated an interest rate swap with a notional amount of €224.0 million. Subsequent to the novation, the swap no longer qualified for hedge accounting. The interest swap liability of $0.7 million at that date will remain in AOCI and be recorded as an adjustment to interest expense over the term of the related LIBOR borrowings. Subsequent changes in the value of the swap will be reflected in earnings.

Cross Currency Swaps Previously Designated as Net Investment Hedges
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on property investments in foreign countries which pay rental income, incur property related expenses and hold debt instruments in currencies other than its functional currency, the USD. The Company uses foreign currency derivatives including cross currency swaps to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on certain of its foreign investments. Cross currency swaps involve fixing the applicable exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on specified dates.
On February 4, 2015, the Company restructured its cross currency swaps and replaced its initial USD equity funding in certain foreign real estate investments with foreign currency debt. As part of the restructuring, foreign currency advances of €110.5 million and £68.5 million were drawn under the Company’s Credit Facility which created a natural hedge against the original equity invested in the real estate investments, thus removing the need for the final equity notional component of the cross currency swaps. The cross currency swaps had been designated as net investment hedges through the date of the restructure. For derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (outside of earnings) as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. Amounts are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. The restructuring
As of June 30, 2018 and settlement of the cross currency swaps resulted in a gain of approximately $19.0 million, with $10.1 million in proceeds received and $8.9 million retained by the bank as a reduction of outstanding Credit Facility balance as of December 31, 2015.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation, claims and regulatory matters. There are no material legal or regulatory proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against the Company.
On January 25, 2018, the Service Provider filed a complaint against (i) GNL and the OP; (ii) the Property Manager, Global Net Lease Special Limited Partner, LLC (the "Special Limited Partner"), an affiliate of AR Global that directly owns the Advisor and the Property Manager, and the Advisor (collectively, the “GNL Advisor Defendants”); and (iii) AR Capital Global Holdings, LLC, and AR Global (together, the “AR Defendants”), in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York ("New York Supreme Court"). The complaint alleges that the notice sent to the Service Provider by the Company on January 15, 2018, terminating the Service Provider Agreement, was a pretext to enable the AR Defendants to seize the Service Provider's business. The complaint alleges breach of contract against GNL, the OP and the GNL Advisor Defendants, and tortious interference against the AR Defendants. The complaint seeks: (i) monetary damages against the defendants, (ii) to enjoin the termination of the Service Provider Agreement, and (iii) judgment declaring the termination to be void. The defendants believe the allegations in the complaint are without merit, and intend to defend against them vigorously. On January 26, 2018, the Service Provider made a motion seeking to preliminarily enjoin the defendants from terminating the Service Provider Agreement pending resolution of the lawsuit. On February 13, 2018, the defendants responded and moved to dismiss.
At a hearing on March 15, 2018, the New York Supreme Court issued a ruling (i) denying the Service Provider’s request for a preliminary injunction preventing defendants from terminating the Service Provider, (ii) dismissing the Service Provider’s claim for a declaratory judgment that the termination is void and of no force and effect, and (iii) allowing the Service Provider’s remaining claims to proceed.  On April 16, 2018, the defendants filed answers and counterclaims against the Service Provider alleging damages resulting from the Service Provider’s underperformance of its duties, as well as damages related to the Service Provider’s retention of approximately $91,000 in pre-paid fees for the post-termination period. The New York Supreme Court held a preliminary conference on April 17, 2018 at which it set a discovery schedule, and the parties have begun discovery. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred $0.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of litigation costs relating to the matter which are included in acquisition and transaction related costs in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Environmental Matters
In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. As of June 30, 2017,2018, the Company had not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and is not aware of any other environmental condition that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations.

As more fully described in Note 3 — Merger Transaction, the Company acquired a $5.1 million receivable due from an affiliate of the Advisor which is payable in eight equal monthly installments beginning on January 15, 2017.

Fees Paid in Connection With the Operations of the Company
Until the Listing Date, the Advisor was paid an acquisition fee of 1.0% of the contract purchase price of each acquired property and 1.0% of the amount advanced for a loan or other investment and a finance fee equal to 0.75% of the amount available and/or outstanding under such financing, subject to certain limitations. Solely with respect to investment activities in Europe, the Advisor paid the Service Provider the acquisition fees and financing coordination fees. Until the Listing Date, the Advisor was also reimbursed for insourced expenses incurred in the process of acquiring properties, which were limited to 0.5% of the contract purchase price and 0.5% of the amount advanced for a loan or other investment.

The Company's employee and director incentive restricted share plan ("RSP") provides the Company with the ability to grant awards of restricted shares of Common Stock ("Restricted Shares") and restricted stock units in respect of shares of Common Stock ("RSUs") to the Company's directors, officers and employees, employees of the Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to the Company, directors of the Advisor or of entities that provide services to the Company, certain consultants to the Company and the Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to the Company.
Prior to April 8, 2015, the RSP provided for the automatic grant of 1,000 restricted shares of Common Stock to each of the independent directors, without any further action by the Company's board of directors or the stockholders, on the date of initial election to the board of directors and on the date of each annual stockholders' meeting. Restricted stock issued to independent directors vested over a five-year period beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant in increments of 20% per annum.
On April 8, 2015, the Company amended the RSP (the "Amended RSP"), among other things, to remove the fixed amount of shares that are automatically granted to the independent directors and remove the fixed vesting period of five-years. Under the Amended RSP, the annual amount granted to the independent directors is determined by the Company's board of directors.
Effective upon the Listing Date, the Company’s board of directors approved the following changes to independent director compensation:compensation is as follows: (i) increasing the annual retainer payable to all independent directors tois $100,000 per year, (ii) increasing the annual retainer for the non-executive chair tois $105,000, (iii) increasing the annual retainer for independent directors serving on the audit committee, compensation committee or nominating and corporate governance committee tois $30,000. All annual retainers are payable 50% in the form of cash and 50% in the form of restricted stock units ("RSUs")RSUs which vest over a three-year period. In addition, the directors have the option to elect to receive the cash component in the form of RSUs which would vest over a three-year period.
Under the Amended RSP, RSUsthe Company may issue up to 10.0% of its outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis at any time. Restricted Share awards entitle the recipient to receive shares of Common Stock from the Companyus under terms that provide for vesting over a specified period of time or upon attainment of pre-established performance objectives. Such awards would typically be forfeited with respect to the unvested shares upon the termination of the recipient's employment or other relationship with the Company.

RSUs represent a contingent right to receive shares of Common Stock at a future settlement date, subject to satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions and/or other restrictions, as set forth in the RSP and an award agreement evidencing the grant of RSUs. RSUs may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed and the rights to the shares of Common Stock have vested. Holders of RSUs do not have or receive any voting rights with respect to the RSUs or any shares underlying any award of RSUs, but such holders are generally credited with dividend or other distribution equivalents which are subject to the same vesting conditions and/or other restrictions as the underlying RSUs and only paid at the time such RSUs are settled in shares of Common Stock. RSU award agreements generally provide for accelerated vesting of all unvested RSUs in connection with a termination without cause from the Company’s board of directors or a change of control and accelerated vesting of the portion of the unvested RSUs scheduled to vest in the year of the recipient’s voluntary resignation from or failure to be re-elected to the Company’s board of directors.

Under current authoritative guidance for determining earnings per share, all nonvestedunvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions are considered to be participating securities and therefore are included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common shares and participating securitiessecurity according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company's nonvestedunvested RSUs and LTIPsLTIP Units contain rights to receive non-forfeitable distributions and therefore the Company applies the two-class method of computing earnings per share. The calculation of earnings per share above excludes the non-forfeitable distributions to the nonvestedunvested RSUs and LTIPsLTIP Units from the numerator.
Diluted net income (loss) per share assumes the conversion of all Common Stock share equivalents into an equivalent number of common shares of Common Stock, unless the effect is anti-dilutive.

Upon the Company's request, subject in all respects to the consent of the lenders in their sole discretion, the aggregate total commitments under the Credit Facility may be increased up to an aggregate additional amount of $35.6 million, allocated to either or both portions of the Credit Facility, with total commitments under the Credit Facility not to exceed $950.0 million. Following these borrowings on July 2, 2018, based on prevailing exchange rates on that date, approximately $401.0 million was outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and approximately $286.0 million was outstanding under our Term Loan Facility.
Acquisitions and Dispositions
On July 27, 2018, the Company acquired one property, located in Akron, Ohio, for a purchase price of $21.4 million.
On July 31, 2018, the Company disposed of one property, located in Vandalia, Ohio for a sales price of $5.0 million. Prior to the sale, the Company agreed to terminate the lease with the existing tenant and received a termination fee of $3.0 million in accordance with the terms of the lease.
Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement
On July 19, 2018, the Company and the OP, entered into the 2018 OPP with the Advisor. The 2018 OPP was entered into in connection with the conclusion of the performance period under the 2015 OPP since no LTIP Units had been earned under the 2015 OPP as of June 2, 2018 (the “Effective Date”). The Effective Date is also the final date of the performance period under the 2015 OPP. Because no performance goals under the 2015 OPP were achieved, no LTIP Units issued under the 2015 OPP were earned and all LTIP Units issued under the 2015 OPP were automatically forfeited without the payment of any consideration by the Company or the OP effective as of June 2, 2018. See Note 12 2017, our - Share Based Compensation for additional information in the 2015 OPP.
Based on a maximum award value of $50.0 million and $19.57 (the “Initial Share Price”), the closing price of Common Stock on June 1, 2018, the trading day prior to the Effective Date, the Advisor was issued a total of 2,554,930 LTIP Units (the “Award LTIP Units”) pursuant to the 2018 OPP. The Award LTIP Units represent the maximum number of LTIP Units that could be earned by the Advisor based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”), including both share price appreciation and Common Stock dividends, against the Initial Share Price over a performance period (the “Performance Period”) commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the earliest of (i) June 2, 2021, the third anniversary of the Effective Date, (ii) the effective date of any Change of Control (as defined in the 2018 OPP) and (iii) the effective date of any termination of the Advisor’s service as advisor of the Company.
Half of the Award LTIP Units (the “Absolute TSR LTIP Units”) will be eligible to be earned as of the last day of the Performance Period (the “Valuation Date”) if Company achieves an absolute TSR with respect to threshold, target and maximum performance goals for the Performance Period as follows:

If the Company’s absolute TSR is more than 24% but less than 30%, or more than 30% but less than 36%, the percentage of the Absolute TSR LTIP Units earned will be determined using linear interpolation as between those tiers, respectively.
Half of the Award LTIP Units (the “Relative TSR LTIP Units”) will be eligible to be earned as of the Valuation Date if the amount, expressed in terms of basis points (bps), whether positive or negative, by which the Company’s absolute TSR on the Valuation Date exceeds the average TSR of a peer group consisting of Government Properties Income Trust, Lexington Realty Trust, Select Income REIT and W.P.

If the relative TSR excess is more than -600 basis points but less than 0 basis points, or more than 0 basis points but less than +600 bps, the percentage of the Relative TSR LTIP Units earned will be determined using linear interpolation as between those tiers, respectively.
If the Valuation Date is the effective date of a Change of Control or a termination of the Advisor for any reason (i.e., with or without cause), then calculations relating to the number of Award LTIP Units earned pursuant to the 2018 OPP will be performed based on actual performance as of (and including) the effective date of the Change of Control or termination (as applicable) based on the performance through the last trading day prior to the effective date of the Change of Control or termination (as applicable), with the hurdles for calculating absolute TSR pro-rated to reflect that the Performance Period lasted less than three years but without pro-rating the number of Absolute TSR LTIP Units or Relative TSR LTIP Units the Advisor would be eligible to earn to reflect the shortened period.
The award of LTIP Units under the 2018 OPP will be administered by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors, with James Nelson abstaining, unanimously approved the appointment of Mr. Nelson, as chief executive officer and presidentprovided that any of the Company effective on or about August 15, 2017 orcompensation committee’s powers can be exercised instead by the board if the board so elects. Following the Valuation Date, the compensation committee is responsible for determining the number of Absolute TSR LTIP Units and Relative TSR LTIP Units earned, as of such earlier date as the Company's board of directors may request. Mr. Nelson served ascalculated by an independent director ofconsultant engaged by the board, Chairman of the Company's auditcompensation committee and as a memberapproved by the compensation committee in its reasonable and good faith discretion. The compensation committee also must approve the transfer of any Absolute TSR LTIP Units and Relative TSR LTIP Units (or OP Units into which they may be converted in accordance with the terms of the Company's nominating and corporate governance committee and conflicts committee, in each case since March 2017. Mr. Nelson has resigned from all committeesagreement of limited partnership of the boardOP).
LTIP Units earned as of directors,the Valuation Date will also become vested as of the Valuation Date. Any LTIP Units that are not earned and vested after the Compensation Committee makes the required determination will automatically and without notice be forfeited without the payment of any consideration by the Company or the OP, effective as of the Valuation Date.
The rights of the Advisor as the holder of the LTIP Units are governed by the terms of the LTIP Units contained in the agreement of limited partnership of the OP. The agreement of limited partnership of the OP was amended in July 2018 in connection with the execution of the 2018 OPP to reflect the issuance of LTIP Units thereunder and to make certain clarifying and ministerial revisions, but will continue to servethese amendments did not alter the terms of the LTIP Units established in connection with the Company’s entry into the 2015 OPP in June 2015. See Note 12 - Share Based Compensation for additional information regarding the terms of LTIP Units and the Advisor's rights as a memberholder of LTIP Units.
The OP will make a distribution to the Company's board of directors.Advisor totaling approximately $0.1 million, representing the amount that would have been paid with respect to the Award LTIP Units after the Effective Date but prior to July 19, 2018.

Overview
We were incorporated on July 13, 2011 as a Maryland corporation that elected and qualified to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013. On June 2, 2015 (the "Listing Date"), we listed shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Common Stock")Stock on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "GNL" (the "Listing"). We invest in commercial properties, with an emphasis on sale-leaseback transactions involving single tenant net-leased commercial properties.
We and American Realty Capital Global Trust II, Inc. ("Global II"), an entity formerly sponsored by an affiliate of AR Capital Global Holdings, LLC, our sponsor (the “Sponsor”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger on August 8, 2016 (the "Merger Agreement"). We and Global II each are, or were, sponsored, directly or indirectly, by the Sponsor. The Sponsor and its affiliates provide or provided asset management services to us and Global II pursuant to advisory agreements. On December 22, 2016 (the "Merger Date"), pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Global II merged with and into Mayflower Acquisition LLC (the "Merger Sub"), a Maryland limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of us, at which time the separate existence of Global II ceased and we became the parent of the Merger Sub (the "Merger").
In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, American Realty Capital Global II Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the operating partnership of Global II (the "Global II OP"), merged with the OP, with the OP being the surviving entity (the "Partnership Merger" and together with the Merger, the "Mergers"). As a result of the Mergers, we acquired the business of Global II, which immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, owned a portfolio of commercial properties, including single tenant net-leased commercial properties two of which were located in the U.S., three of which were located in the United Kingdom, and 10 of which were located in continental Europe (see Note 3 — Merger Transaction).
As of June 30, 2017,2018, we owned 312333 properties consisting of 22.225.0 million rentable square feet, which were 100%99.5% leased, with a weighted averageweighted-average remaining lease term of 9.38.5 years.

As of June 30, 2017,2018, we did not own any first mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, preferred equity or securitized loans.
Substantially all of our business is conducted through the OP. We have retained the Advisor to manage the Company'sour affairs on a day-to-day basis. TheOur properties are managed and leased by Global Net Lease Properties, LLC (the "Property Manager"). The Advisor and the Property Manager and Global Net Lease Special Limited Partner, LLC (the "Special Limited Partner") are under common control with AR Global, the parent of our Sponsor, and as a result are related parties.Global. These related parties receive compensation and fees for various services provided to us. The Advisor has entered into a service provider agreement with
Following the termination of Moor Park Capital Partners LLP (the "Service Provider"), pursuanteffective as of March 17, 2018, the Advisor, together with its service providers, assumed full management responsibility of our European real estate portfolio. Prior to whichthe termination of the Service Provider, provides,the Service Provider provided, subject to the Advisor's oversight, certain real estate related services, as well as sourcing and structuring of investment opportunities, performance of due diligence, and arranging debt financing and equity investment syndicates, solely with respect to investments in Europe.
On February 28, 2017, we completed a reverse stock split of our Common Stock, limited partnership units inEurope Since the OP ("OP Units") and long term incentive plan units in the OP ("LTIP Units"), at a ratio of 1-for-3 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). No OP Units were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and we repurchased any fractional shares of Common Stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split for cash. No payments were made in respect of any fractional OP Units. The Reverse Stock Split was applied to all of our outstanding shares of Common Stock and therefore did not affect any stockholder’s relative ownership percentage. As a resulttermination of the Reverse Stock Split,Service Provider, the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock was reduced from 198.8 millionAdvisor has built a European-focused management team and engaged third-party service providers to 66.3 million. In addition, Common Stock was assigned a new CUSIP number upon the market opening on March 1, 2017.

See Note 1, Organization, and Taxation, to decrease the total number of shares that the Company has authority to issue from 350.0 million to 116.7 million shares, of which (i) 100.0 million is designated as Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share; and (ii) 16.7 million is designated as preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share.Part II, Item 3.Legal Proceedings.
All references made to share or per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this Reverse Stock Split.
We entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with UBS Securities LLC, Robert W. Baird & Co.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
Set forth below is a summary of the significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies that management believes are important to the preparation of our financial statements. Certain of our accounting estimates are particularly importantacquired thirteen properties for an understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. These significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies include:
Revenue Recognition
Our revenues, which are derived primarily from rental income, include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Since many of our leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, straight-line basis accounting requires us to record a receivable, and include in revenues unbilled rent receivables that we will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. For new leases after acquisition, the commencement date is considered to be the date the tenant takes control of the space. For lease modifications, the commencement date is considered to be the date the lease is executed. We defer the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. When we acquire a property, the acquisition date is considered to be the commencement date of purposes of this calculation.
We continually review receivables related to rent and unbilled rent receivables and determine collectability by taking into consideration the tenant's payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectability of a receivable is in doubt, we record an increase in our allowance for uncollectible accounts or record a direct write-off of the receivable in our consolidated statements of operations.
Cost recoveries from tenants are included in operating expense reimbursement in the period the related costs are incurred, as applicable.
Investments in Real Estate
Investments in real estate are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements, five years for fixtures and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.
We evaluate the inputs, processes and outputs of each asset acquired to determine if the transaction is a business combination or asset acquisition. If an acquisition qualifies as a business combination, the related transaction costs are recorded as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations. If an acquisition qualifies as an asset acquisition, the related transaction costs are generally capitalized and subsequently amortized over the useful life of the acquired assets.
In business combinations, as well as asset acquisitions, we allocate theaggregate purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities and non-controlling interests based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets may include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements. Intangible assets or liabilities may include the value of in-place leases, above- and below-market leases and other identifiable assets or liabilities based on lease or property specific characteristics. In addition, any assumed mortgages receivable or payable and any assumed or issued non-controlling interests are recorded at their estimated fair values.
In allocating the fair value to assumed mortgages, amounts are recorded to debt premiums or discounts based on the present value of the estimated cash flows, which is calculated to account for either above or below-market interest rates.
Disposal of real estate investments that represent a strategic shift in operations that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results are required to be presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. No properties were presented as discontinued operations during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Properties that are intended to be sold are designated as “held for sale” on the consolidated balance sheets at the lesser of carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling costs when they meet specific criteria to be presented as held for sale. Properties are no longer depreciated when they are classified as held for sale. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we did not have any properties designated as held for sale.
We evaluate acquired leases and new leases on acquired properties based on capital lease criteria. A lease is classified by a tenant as a capital lease if the significant risks and rewards of ownership are considered to reside with the tenant. This situation is generally considered to be met if, among other things, the non-cancelable lease term is more than 75% of the useful life of the asset or if the present value of the minimum lease payments equals 90% or more of the leased property’s fair value at lease inception.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets
When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, we review the asset for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss is the adjustment to fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net earnings.
$161.8 million (Purchase Price Allocationsee
We allocate the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their fair values. Tangible assets include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements on an as-if vacant basis. We utilize various estimates, processes and information to determine the as-if vacant property value. Estimates of value are made using customary methods, including data from appraisals, comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis and other methods. Amounts allocated to land, land improvements, buildings and fixtures are based on cost segregation studies performed by independent third parties or on our analysis of comparable properties in our portfolio. Identifiable intangible assets include amounts allocated to acquire leases for above- and below-market lease rates, the value of in-place leases, and the value of customer relationships, as applicable.
Factors considered in the analysis of the in-place lease intangibles include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up period for each property, taking into account current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at contract rates during the expected lease-up period, which typically ranges from 12 to 18 months. We also estimate costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases. If a tenant with a below market rent renewal does not renew, any remaining unamortized amount will be taken into income at that time.
The aggregate value of intangible assets related to customer relationship, as applicable, is measured based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the tenant. Characteristics considered by us in determining these values include the nature and extent of its existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors.
The value of customer relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. If a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles is charged to expense.
In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, we utilize a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. We also consider information obtained about each property as a result of our pre-acquisition due diligence in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed.

Derivative Instruments
We may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floorsSignificant Accounting Estimates and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all orCritical Accounting Policies
For a portion ofdiscussion about our significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies, see the interest rate risk associated with our borrowings. Certain“Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies” section of our foreign operations expose us to fluctuations in foreign interest rates2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes from these significant accounting estimates and exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of our cash receipts and payments in our functional currency, the U.S. dollar ("USD"). We enter into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain obligations in terms of our functional currency.

We record all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Thecritical accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or we elect not to apply hedge accounting.
The accounting for subsequent changes in the fair value of these derivatives depends on whether each has been designed and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. If we elect not to apply hedge accounting treatment, any changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments is recognized immediately in gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. If the derivative is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment the change in the estimated fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) to the extent that it is effective. Any ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.
Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement
Concurrent with the Listing and modifications to the Advisor agreement, we entered into a Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement (the “OPP”) with the OP and the Advisor. We record equity based compensation expense associated with the awards over the requisite service period of five years on a graded basis. The cumulative equity-based compensation expense is adjusted each reporting period for changes in the estimated market-related performance.policies.

The Company allocates a portion of the fair value of real estate acquired to identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of origination costs (tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and legal and marketing costs), the value of above-market and below-market leases, and the value of tenant relationships, if applicable, based in each case on their relative fair values. The Company periodically assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of either the real estate assets or the related intangible assets may be impaired by performing a net present value analysis of future cash flows, discounted for inherent risk associated with each investment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we did not record any impairment charges for either the real estate assets or the related intangible assets associated with our real estate investments.

The loss during the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily relaterelated to the undesignatedmarked-to-market adjustments on the excess foreign currency draws over our net investments in the United Kingdom and Europe.Europe which are not designated as hedges, and these were driven in part by a rise in the value of the GBP and Euro throughout 2017 and early 2018 compared to the USD. Effective on July 24, 2017, in connection with the refinancing of our then-existing credit facility (the "Prior Credit Facility"), our GBP-denominated borrowings were substantially reduced, and there were no undesignated excess foreign advances in GBP thereafter. Accordingly, we do not expect charges/gains on excess amounts in the future.

Changes in the rates of exchange for the Euro and GBP currencies compared to the USD may affect costs and cash flows in our functional currency, the USD. We generally manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by matching our debt service obligation to the lender and the tenant’s rental obligation to us in the same currency. This helps us manage the risk of our overall exposure to currency fluctuations. In addition, we may use currency hedging to further reduce the exposure risk to our net cash flow. We generally are a net receiver of these currencies (we receive more cash than we pay out), and therefore our results of operations of our foreign properties benefit from a weaker USD, and are adversely affected by a stronger USD, relative to the relevant foreign currency. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the average exchange rate for GBP to USD increased by 6.1%, and the average exchange rate for Euro to USD increased by 8.2%, when compared to the same period last year.

This helps us manage the risk of our overall exposure to currency fluctuations. In addition, we may use currency hedging to further reduce the exposure risk to our net cash flow. We generally are a net receiver of these currencies (we receive more cash than we pay out), and therefore our results of operations of our foreign properties benefit from a weaker USD, and are adversely affected by a stronger USD, relative to the relevant foreign currency. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the average exchange rate for GBP to USD increased by 9.1%, and the average exchange rate for Euro to USD increased by 11.2%, when compared to the same period last year.
Income TaxesTax Expense
We recognize income taxestax (expense) benefit for state and local income taxestax incurred, if any, including foreign jurisdictions in which we own properties. In addition, we perform an analysis of potential deferred tax or future tax benefit as a result of timing differences in taxestaxation across jurisdictions. Our current incomeIncome tax expense fluctuates from period to period based primarily on the timing of those taxes. Income taxes expense was $1.4$2.3 million and $1.0$1.4 million for the threesix months ended June 30, 2017,2018 and 2016,2017, respectively.

These other indebtedness (see Note 6 — Mortgage Notes Payable to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion. Other potential future sources of capital, which we expect to continue to use for dividends and other capital needs, include net proceeds received from our common and preferred stock ATM Program,Programs (or any similar future program), proceeds from our Revolving Credit Facility, proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from future offerings of debt or equity securities (including preferred equity securities), proceeds from the sale of properties, and undistributed funds from operations, if any.

Our goal is to acquire $500.0 million of Common Stock through the ATM Program and collected net proceeds of $18.3 million. We paid fees of $0.2 million to the Agents with respect to sales of shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the ATM Program.
As of June 30, 2017, we had a revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") that permitted us to borrow up to $740.0 million. The initial maturity date of the Credit Facility was July 25, 2016. On July 25, 2016, we extended the maturity date of the Credit Facility to July 25, 2017, for an extension fee of $1.5 million. A portion of foreign currency draws under the Credit Facility are designated as net investment hedges of our investmentsproperties during the periods reflected in the consolidated statementsyear ending December 31, 2018.

Proceeds were used to pay down approximately $30.0 million of outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility, and may also be used for general corporate purposes and future acquisitions.
Future scheduled principal payments on our mortgage notes payable for the remainder of 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2019 are $124.3 million and $286.1 million, respectively.
Credit Facility
On July 24, 2017, wethe Company, through the OP, entered into a new credit agreement that provideswith Key Bank National Association ("KeyBank") for a $500.0 million senior unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a €194.6 million ($225.0 million U.S. Dollar ("USD") equivalent) senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Facility” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “New Credit Facility”). Concurrently, we terminated the Credit Facility and repaid the outstanding balance of $725.8 million (including €255.7 million, £160.2 million, and $221.6 million) with proceeds from the New Credit Facility and $4.9 million from cash on hand.

Upon our request of the Company, subject in all respects to the consent of the lenders in their sole discretion, these aggregate total commitments may be increased up to an aggregate additional amount of $225.0 million, allocated to either or among both portions of the New Credit Facility, with total commitments under the New Credit Facility not to exceed $950.0 million. As of June 30, 2018 and based on prevailing exchange rates on that date, approximately $458.9 million was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and approximately $224.5 million was outstanding under the Term Loan Facility.
The Credit Facility consists of two components, a Revolving Credit Facility and a Term Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility is interest-only and matures on July 24, 2021, subject to one one-year extension at ourthe Company’s option. The Term Facility isportion of the Credit Facility requires interest-only payments and matures on July 24, 2022. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate per annum based on an applicable margin that varies based on the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to the consolidated total asset value of the Company, plus either (i) LIBOR, as applicable to the currency being borrowed, or (ii) a “base rate” equal to the greatest of (a) KeyBank’s “prime rate,” (b) 0.5% above the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or (c) 1.0% above one-month LIBOR. The range of applicable interest rate margins is from 0.60% to 1.20% per annum with respect to base rate borrowings, and 1.60% to 2.20% per annum with respect to LIBOR borrowings. As of June 30, 2018, the Credit Facility had a weighted-average effective interest rate of 3.1% after giving effect to the Company's interest rate swaps in place.
The Credit Facility requires the Company, through the OP, to pay an unused fee per annum of 0.25% of the unused balance of the Revolving Credit Facility if the unused balance exceeds or is equal to 50% of the total commitment, or a fee per annum of 0.15% of the unused balance of the Revolving Credit Facility if the unused balance is less than 50% of the total commitment. From and after the time the Company obtains an investment grade credit rating, the unused fee will be replaced with a facility fee based on the total commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility multiplied by 0.30%, decreasing further as the Company’s credit rating increases.

The availability of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on the value of a pool of eligible unencumbered real estate assets owned by usthe Company and compliance with various ratios related to those assets.

Loan Obligations
Our loan obligations generally require principal and interest amounts to be paid monthly or quarterly with all unpaid principal and interest due at maturity. Our loan agreements (including the Credit Facility) stipulate compliance with specific reportingfinancial covenants.

Such short-term borrowings may be obtained from third-parties on a case-by-case basis as acquisition opportunities present themselves.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This section includes non-GAAP financial measures, including Funds from Operations ("FFO"), Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO") and Adjusted Funds from Operations.Operations ("AFFO"). A description of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net income, is provided below.
Caution on Use of Non-GAAP Measures
FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO 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. 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 may 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, Core FFO and AFFO calculations exclude such factors as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gain or loss 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, Core FFO and AFFO presentations facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs in our peer group.
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. However, FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions. Investors are cautioned that FFO, Core FFO and AFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance excluding these activities, as they exclude certain costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which these costs are incurred.
Funds from Operations, Core Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
Funds From Operations
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"),FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to net income or loss as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").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 gainsgain or lossesloss 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 inFunds From Operations
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, we start with FFO, then we exclude certain non-core items such as acquisition- 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.
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 relatedtransaction-related costs, as well as certain other costs that are considered to be non-core, such as charges relatingfire loss and other costs related to the Listing Note and listing related fees.damages at our properties. The purchase of properties, and the corresponding expenses associated with that process, is a key operational feature of our core 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 acquisitionacquisition- and transaction relatedtransaction-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.
WeAdjusted Funds From Operations
In calculating AFFO, we start with Core FFO, then 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 gainsgain and losses,loss, which may not ultimately be realized, such as gainsgain or lossesloss on derivative instruments, gains and lossesgain or loss on foreign currency transactions, and gains and lossesgain or loss 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 gainsgain or lossesloss 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 that assists investors and analystscan be used to better assess the sustainability 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 believeAFFO presented by us may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs that define 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 gainsgain and lossesloss 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. 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 gainsgain or losses,loss, we believe AFFO provides useful supplemental information.
As a result, we We believe that the use of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, providein order to facilitate a more completeclear understanding of our operating results, AFFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated financial statements. AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance including relativeor to cash flows as a measure of our peers and a more informed and appropriate basis on whichliquidity or ability to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities.distributions.

Dividends
We generally pay dividends on our Common Stock on the 15th day of each month at a rate ofin an amount equal to $0.1775 per share to common stockholders of record as of close of business on, commencing with the dividend payable in July 2018, the 13th day of the month. Prior to July 2018, the record date for our regular monthly dividend was generally the 8th day of suchthe applicable month.
The amount of dividends payable to our common stockholders is determined by our board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for dividends, our financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, as applicable, requirements of Maryland law and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
Dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock accrue in an amount equal to $0.453125 per share per quarter to Series A Preferred Stock holders, which is equivalent to 7.25% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock per annum. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year (or, if not on a business day, on the next succeeding business day) to holders of record on the close of business on the record date set by our board of directors, which must be not more than 30 nor fewer than 10 days prior to the applicable payment

date. Any accrued and unpaid dividends payable with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock become part of the liquidation preference thereof.
Dividend payments are dependent on the availability of funds. Our board of directors may alter the amount of dividends paid or suspend dividend payments at any time and therefore dividend payments are not assured. There is no assurance that we will continue to declare and pay dividends at this rate.the current rates. Provisions in our Credit Facility restrict our ability to pay distributions, including cash dividends or other distributions payable with respect to Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock. If we are not able to increase the amount of cash we have available to pay dividends and distributions, including through additional cash flows we expect to generate from completing the Pending Acquisitions, our ability to comply with the restriction on our ability to pay distributions in our Credit Facility may be adversely affected. The Pending Acquisitions are subject to conditions and there can be no assurance they will be completed on their current terms, or at all. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors - If we are not able to increase the amount of cash we have available to pay dividends and distributions, including through additional cash flows we expect to generate from completing the Pending Acquisitions, our ability to comply with the restriction on our ability to pay distributions in our Credit Facility may be adversely affected, and we may have to reduce or suspend dividend payments or identify other sources to fund the payment of dividends at their current levels.”

Foreign Currency Translation
Our reporting currency is the USD. The functional currency of our foreign investments is the applicable local currency for each foreign location in which we invest. Assets and liabilities in these foreign locations (including intercompany balances for which settlement is not anticipated in the foreseeable future) are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date. The amounts reported in the consolidated statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the applicable period. The resulting unrealized cumulative translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on property investments in foreign countries which pay rental income, incur property related expenses and hold debt instruments in currencies other than our functional currency, the USD. We use foreign currency derivatives including foreign currency put options, foreign currency forward contracts and cross currencycross-currency swap agreements to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, such as the GBP-USD and EUR-USD exchange rates (see (seeNote 87 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion).

Derivative payments are not included in this table due to the uncertainty of the timing and amounts of payments. Additionally, as derivatives can be settled at any point in time, they are generally not considered long-term in nature.
Election as a REIT 
We qualified to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. Commencing with such taxable year, we were organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code. We intend to continue to operate in such a manner to qualify for taxation as a REIT, but no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to remain qualified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In order to continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we must, among other things, distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income. REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if we continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain federal, state, local and foreign taxes on our income and assets, including alternative minimum taxes, taxes on any undistributed income and state, local or foreign income, franchise, property and transfer taxes. Any of these taxes decrease our earnings and our available cash.
In addition, our international assets and operations, including those designated as direct or indirect qualified REIT subsidiaries or other disregarded entities of a REIT, continue to be subject to taxation in the foreign jurisdictions where those assets are held or those operations are conducted.
Inflation
We may be adversely impacted by inflation on any leases that do not contain indexedindex-linked escalation provisions. In addition, we may be required to pay costs for maintenance and operation of properties which may adversely impact our results of operations due to potential increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
Please see SeeNote 1110 — Related Party Transactions to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the various related party transactions, agreements and fees.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 20172018 that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors other than our future obligations under nonconcealablenoncancellable operating ground leases (see(see Note 109 — Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Item 2.2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Contractual Obligations for details).
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market Risk
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changesThere has been no material change in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity prices. The primary risks to which we are exposed are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk, and we are also exposed to further market risk as a result of concentrations of tenants in certain industries and/or geographic regions. Adverse market factors can affect the ability of tenants in a particular industry/region to meet their respective lease obligations. In order to manage this risk, we view our collective tenant roster as a portfolio, and in our investment decisions we attempt to diversify our portfolio so that we are not overexposed to a particular industry or geographic region.
Generally, we do not use derivative instruments to hedge credit risks or for speculative purposes. However, from time to time, we may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge our foreign currency cash flow exposures.
Interest Rate Risk
The values of our real estate and related fixed-rate debt obligations are subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates. The value of our real estate is also subject to fluctuations based on local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, all of which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled, if we do not choose to repay the debt when due. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the fair value of our owned and managed assets to decrease, which would create lower revenues from managed assets and lower investment performance for the managed REITs. Increases in interest rates may also have an impact on the credit profile of certain tenants.
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. We obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate, non-recourse mortgage loans, and as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with lenders. Interest rate swap agreements effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of the loan to a fixed rate, while interest rate cap agreements limit the underlying interest rate from exceeding a specified strike rate. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flows over a specific period, and interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. These interest rate swaps and caps are derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges on the forecasted interest payments on the debt obligation. The face amount on which the swaps or caps are based is not exchanged. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements. Atmarket risk during the six months ended June 30, 2017, we estimated that the total fair value2018. For a discussion of our interest rate swaps, which are included in Derivatives, at fair value in the consolidated financial statements, was in a net liabilities position of $11.9 million (Note 7 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments).
As of June 30, 2017, our total consolidated debt included borrowings under our Credit Facilityexposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, "Quantitative and secured mortgage financings, had a total carrying value of $1.5 billion and a total estimated fair value of $1.5 billion and a weighted average effective interest rate per annum of 2.7%. As of June 30, 2017, our total consolidated debt under our Credit Facility and secured mortgage financings included fixed borrowings was $1.2 billion with a weighted average effective interest rate per annum of 2.6% and variable debt of $343.7 million with a weighted average effective interest rate per annum of 2.9%. At June 30, 2017, a significant portion (approximately 77.1%) of our debt either bore interest at fixed rates or were swapped or capped to a fixed rate. The annual interest rates on our fixed-rate debt at June 30, 2017 ranged from 1.0% to 5.3%. The contractual annual interest rates on our variable-rate debt at June 30, 2017 ranged from 2.1% to 3.0%. Our debt obligations are more fully described in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Contractual Obligations above.

The initial maturity date of the Credit Facility was July 25, 2016 with two one-year extension options.

The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt and our variable-rate debt that at fixed rates or has effectively been converted to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps is affected by changes in interest rates. A decrease or increase in interest rates of 1% would change the estimated fair value of this debt at June 30, 2017 by an aggregate increase of $1.5 million or an aggregate decrease of $2.0 million, respectively.
Annual interest expense on our unhedged variable-rate debt that does not bear interest at fixed rates at June 30, 2017 would increase or decrease by $3.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively for each respective 1% increase or decrease in annual interest rates.

We own foreign investments, primarily in Europe, and as a result, are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in various foreign currencies, primarily the Euro and the British pound sterling which may affect future costs and cash flows" contained in our functional currency. We generally manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by matching our debt service obligation to the lender and the tenant’s rental obligation to us in the same currency. This reduces our overall exposure to currency fluctuations. In addition, we may use currency hedging to further reduce the exposure to our equity cash flow. We are generally a net receiver of these currencies (we receive more cash than we pay out), and therefore our results of operations of our foreign properties benefit from a weaker USD, and are adversely affected by a stronger USD, relative to the foreign currency.
We have designated all current foreign currency draws as net investment hedges to the extent of our net investment in foreign subsidiaries. To the extent foreign draws in each currency exceed the net investment, we reflect the effects of changes in currency on such excess in earnings. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had draws of £66.6 million ($86.5 million based on the aforementioned exchange rate as of June 30, 2017) in excess of its net investments (Note 8 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities).
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts and put options to hedge certain of our foreign currency cash flow exposures. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment to deliver a certain amount of foreign currency at a certain price on a specific date in the future. By entering into forward contracts and holding them to maturity, we are locked into a future currency exchange rate for the term of the contract. A foreign currency put option contract consists of a right, but not the obligation, to sell a specified amount of foreign currency for a specified amount of another currency at a specific date. If the exchange rate of the currency fluctuates favorably beyond the put options’ strike rate at maturity, the option would be considered in-the-money and exercised accordingly. The total estimated fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts and put options, which are included in derivatives, at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, was in a net asset position of $2.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively at June 30, 2017 (Note 7 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments). We have obtained, and may in the future obtain, non-recourse mortgage financing in the local currency. To the extent that currency fluctuations increase or decrease rental revenues as translated to U.S. dollars, the change in debt service, as translated to U.S. dollars, will partially offset the effect of fluctuations in revenue and, to some extent, mitigate the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest on unhedged variable-rate debt obligations was calculated using the applicable annual interest rates and balances outstanding at June 30, 2017.
(3)
The initial maturity date of the Credit Facility was July 25, 2016 with two one-year extension options. On July 25, 2016, we extended the maturity date of the Credit Facility to July 25, 2017 with an additional one-year extension option remaining which we did not exercise. On July 24, 2017, we repaid the Credit Facility and entered into the New Credit Facility (see Note 5 — Credit Borrowings for further details).
We currently anticipate that, by their respective due dates, we will have repaid or refinanced certain of these loans, or extended it, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance these loans on favorable terms, if at all. If refinancing has not occurred, we would expect to use our cash resources, including unused capacity on our Credit Facility, to make these payments, if necessary.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants are engaged in similar business activities or have similar economic risks or conditions that could cause them to default on their lease obligations to us. We regularly monitor our portfolio to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. While we believe our portfolio is reasonably well diversified, it does contain concentrations in excess of 10%, based on the percentage of our annualized rental income as of June 30, 2017, in certain areas. See Item 2. Properties in this QuarterlyAnnual Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion on distribution across countries and industries.
Based on original purchase price or acquisition value10-K for the properties acquired through Merger, the majority of our properties, 50.5%, are located in Europe and 49.5% are located in the U.S. including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Based on our annualized rental income, the majority of our directly owned real estate properties and related loans are located in the U.S. and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico 49.1% and the remaining are in Finland (6.1%), France (5.2%), Germany (8.5%), Luxembourg (2.1%), The Netherlands (6.8%) and United Kingdom (22.2%) at June 30,fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. No individual tenant accounted for more than 10% of our annualized rental income at June 30, 2017. Based on annualized rental income, at June 30, 2017, our directly owned real estate properties contain significant concentrations in the following asset types: office (59.5%), industrial/distribution (30.7%), and retail (9.8%).

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017,2018, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
AsService Provider Complaint
On January 25, 2018, the Service Provider filed a complaint against (i) GNL and the OP; (ii) the Property Manager, Global Net Lease Special Limited Partner, LLC (the "Special Limited Partner"), an affiliate of AR Global that directly owns the Advisor and the Property Manager, and the Advisor (collectively, the “GNL Advisor Defendants”); and (iii) AR Capital Global Holdings, LLC, and AR Global (together, the “AR Defendants”), in the Supreme Court of the endState of New York, County of New York ("New York Supreme Court"). The complaint alleges that the notice sent to the Service Provider by GNL on January 15, 2018, terminating the Service Provider Agreement, was a pretext to enable the AR Defendants to seize the Service Provider's business. The complaint alleges breach of contract against GNL, the OP and the GNL Advisor Defendants, and tortious interference against the AR Defendants. The complaint seeks: (i) monetary damages against the defendants, (ii) to enjoin the termination of the period covered by this Quarterly ReportService Provider Agreement, and (iii) judgment declaring the termination to be void. The defendants believe the allegations in the complaint are without merit, and intend to defend against them vigorously. On January 26, 2018, the Service Provider made a motion seeking to preliminarily enjoin the defendants from terminating the Service Provider Agreement pending resolution of the lawsuit. On February 13, 2018, the defendants responded and moved to dismiss.
At a hearing on Form 10-Q,March 15, 2018, the New York Supreme Court issued a ruling (i) denying the Service Provider’s request for a preliminary injunction preventing defendants from terminating the Service Provider, (ii) dismissing the Service Provider’s claim for a declaratory judgment that the termination is void and of no force and effect, and (iii) allowing the Service Provider’s remaining claims to proceed.  On April 16, 2018, the defendants filed answers and counterclaims against the Service Provider alleging damages resulting from the Service Provider’s underperformance of its duties, as well as damages related to the Service Provider’s retention of approximately $91,000 in pre-paid fees for the post-termination period. The New York Supreme Court held a preliminary conference on April 17, 2018 at which it set a discovery schedule, and the parties have begun discovery. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred $0.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of litigation costs relating to the matter which are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.included in acquisition and transaction related costs in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our potential risks and uncertainties are presented in the section entitled "Risk Factors", contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017. There have been no material changes from these risk factors, except for the items described below.
Dividends paid
If we are not able to increase the amount of cash we have available to pay dividends and distributions, including through additional cash flows we expect to generate from completing the Pending Acquisitions, our ability to comply with the restriction on our ability to pay distributions in our Credit Facility may be adversely affected, and we may have to reduce or suspend dividend payments or identify other sources to fund the payment of dividends at their current levels.

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to pay dividends with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, Common Stock, or any or other classes or series of preferred stock we may issue in a future offering, on a regular basis in the future. Moreover, our board of directors may change our dividend policy, in its sole discretion, at any time. Any accrued and unpaid dividends payable with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock become part of the liquidation preference thereof.

Pursuant to our Credit Facility, we may not pay distributions, including cash dividends payable with respect to Series A Preferred Stock, Common Stock, or any or other classes or series of preferred stock we may issue in a future offering, or redeem or otherwise repurchase shares of our capital stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Common Stock, or any or other classes or series of preferred stock we may issue in a future offering, in an aggregate amount exceeding 95% of our Adjusted FFO as defined in our Credit Facility (which is different from AFFO as discussed and analyzed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, except in limited circumstances, including that for one fiscal quarter in each calendar year, we may pay cash dividends, make redemptions and make repurchases in an aggregate amount equal to no more than 100% of our Adjusted FFO. We may not pay dividends and distributions in an aggregate amount exceeding 95% of our Adjusted FFO in either the quarter ending September 30, 2018 or the quarter ending December 31, 2018. The agreements governing our future debt instruments may also include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends.


Our ability to pay dividends in the future is dependent on our ability to operate profitably and to generate cash flows from operations will result in the Company having fewer funds available for the acquisition of properties and other real estate-related investments and may dilute your interests in us, which may adversely affect our ability to fund future distributions with cash flows from operations and may adversely affect your overall return.
The Company'soperations. Our cash flows provided by operations were $68.9$69.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company2018, we paid dividends of $71.2$4.9 million to holders of our Series A Preferred Stock using cash flows provided by operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we paid dividends of $71.7 million to holders of our Common Stock, inclusive of $0.4$0.2 million of distributions paid for OP Units andto holders of LTIP Units, of which $68.9$64.8 million, or 96.8%84.4%, was funded from cash flows provided by operations, and $2.3$10.7 million, or 3.2%13.9%, was funded from available cash on hand, consisting of proceeds from saleborrowings. If we are not able to increase the amount of real estate investments.
If the Company does not generate sufficientcash we have available to pay dividends and distributions, including through additional cash flows we expect to generate from completing the Pending Acquisitions, our operationsability to fund dividends, itcomply with the restriction on our ability to pay distributions in our Credit Facility may be adversely affected. The Pending Acquisitions are subject to conditions and there can be no assurance they will be completed on their current terms, or at all. If we are not able to complete the Pending Acquisition, we may have to reduce or suspend dividend payments or pay dividends fromidentify other sources such as from borrowings,to fund the salepayment of additional securities, advances from the Advisor, and/or the Advisor's deferral, suspension and/or waiver of its fees and expense reimbursements. Moreover, the Company's board of directors may change the Company's dividend policy, in its sole discretion,dividends at any time.
We are dependent on our Advisor, our Property Manager and the Service Provider to provide us with executive officers, key personnel and all services required for us to conduct our operations and our operating performance may be impacted by any adverse changes in the financial health or reputation of our Advisor.
Personnel and services that we require are provided to us under contracts with our Advisor and our Property Manager, which has retained the Service Provider to provide advisory and property management services with respect to investments in Europe, subject to the Advisor's oversight. We depend on the Advisor, our Property Manager and the Service Provider to manage our operations and acquire and manage our portfolio of real estate assets. The Advisor makes all decisions with respect to the management of our company, subject to the supervision of, and any guidelines established by, our board of directors.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of our executive officers and other key personnel of our Advisor. Neither the Company nor the Advisor has an employment agreement with any of these key personnel, except for the agreement between Mr. Nelson and the Advisor, and we cannot guarantee that all, or any particular one, will remain affiliated with us or the Advisor. If any of our key personnel were to cease their affiliation with the Advisor, our operating results could suffer. Further, we do not maintain key person life insurance on any person. We believe that our success depends, in large part, upon the ability of the Advisor to hire, retain or contract services of highly skilled managerial, operational and marketing personnel. Competition for skilled personnel is intense, and therecurrent levels. There can be no assurance that the Advisorother sources will be successful in attractingavailable on favorable terms, or at all. Funding dividends from borrowings restricts the amount we can borrow for property acquisitions and retaining skilled personnel. Ifinvestments. Using proceeds from the Advisor losessale of assets or is unable to obtain the servicesissuance of key personnel, the Advisor's ability to implement our investment strategies could be delayed or hindered, and the value of an investment in the Company's shares may decline.
On March 8, 2017, the creditor trust established in connection with the bankruptcy of RCS Capital Corp. (“RCAP”), which prior to its bankruptcy filing was under common control with the Advisor, filed suit against the Sponsor, the Advisor, advisors of other entities sponsored by affiliates of AR Global, and AR Global’s principals.  The suit alleges, among other things, certain breaches of duties to RCAP. The Company is not named in the suit, nor are there allegations related to the services the Advisor provides to the Company.  The Advisor has informed the Company that it believes the suit is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously.
Any adverse changes in the financial condition or financial health of, or our relationship with, our Advisor, including any change resulting from an adverse outcome in any litigation, could hinder its ability to successfully manage our operations and our portfolio of investments. Additionally, changes in ownership or management practices, the occurrence of adverse events affecting our Advisor or its affiliatesCommon Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or other companies advised by our Advisor and its affiliates could create adverse publicity and adversely affect us and our relationship with lenders, tenants or counterparties.equity securities to fund dividends rather than invest in assets will likewise reduce the amount available to invest.
