Global Net Lease has sold a portfolio of nine cold storage properties currently leased to subsidiaries of Americold Realty Trust for $170 million, at a 7.88% cash cap rate on 3.3 years of weighted average remaining lease-term.
GNL plans to use the net proceeds from this sale to reduce outstanding debt and further lower its leverage. The sale of this portfolio, which GNL acquired for $153.4 million, is part of the previously announced $567 million of closed and pipeline dispositions at a cash cap rate of 7.2%.
"We believe the sale of this portfolio not only reduces risk within our portfolio by eliminating uncertainty around tenant renewals but also extends our weighted average remaining lease term," said Michael Weil, CEO of GNL. "We intend to use the net sale proceeds of this disposition to strategically pay down existing debt, aligning with our goal of lowering our Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA to bring it more in line with our peers."
