Getty Realty Corp. Announces Pricing of Public Offering of 4,000,000 Shares of Common Stock

NEW YORK, Feb. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Getty Realty Corp. (NYSE: GTY) (the “Company”), a net lease REIT focused on convenience and automotive retail real estate, today announced the pricing of an underwritten public offering of an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of its common stock sold on a forward basis in connection with the forward sale agreements described below, for gross proceeds of approximately $131 million. The forward purchasers (or their affiliates) and the Company have also granted the underwriters of the offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 600,000 shares of common stock. The offering is expected to close on February 19, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

J.P. Morgan and Wells Fargo Securities acted as book-running managers for the offering.

In connection with the offering of shares of its common stock, the Company expects to enter into separate forward sale agreements with each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities (or their respective affiliates), each referred to in this capacity as the forward purchaser. In connection with such forward sale agreements, the forward purchasers (or their affiliates) are expected to borrow from third parties and sell to the underwriters an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (or 4,600,000 shares if the underwriters’ option is exercised in full and the Company elects to execute additional forward sale agreements). Pursuant to the terms of each forward sale agreement, and subject to its right to elect cash or net share settlement, the Company is obligated to issue and deliver, upon physical settlement of such forward sale agreement on one or more dates specified by the Company, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying such forward sale agreement in exchange for a cash payment per share equal to the forward sale price under such forward sale agreement. The Company expects to physically settle the forward sale agreements and receive proceeds, subject to certain adjustments, from the sale of its shares of common stock upon one or more such physical settlements within approximately one year from the date of the prospectus supplement relating to the offering.

The Company will not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of its common stock by the forward purchasers (or their affiliates). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering and the net proceeds, if any, received upon the settlement of the forward sale agreements to fund property acquisitions, to repay indebtedness outstanding under its revolving credit facility, for working capital and other general corporate purposes, or a combination of the foregoing.

An automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 relating to the public offering of the shares of common stock described above was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and became effective on January 5, 2024. A preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the offering has been filed with the SEC. When available, copies of the prospectus supplement and related base prospectus for the offering may be obtained on the website of the SEC, www.sec.gov, or by contacting J.P.
