NATIONAL RETAIL PROPERTIES, INC. CHANGES NAME TO NNN REIT, INC.

ORLANDO, Fla., April 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- National Retail Properties, Inc. (NYSE: NNN), a real estate investment trust, announced today that its Board of Directors unanimously approved changing the company's name to NNN REIT, Inc. ("NNN REIT"), effective May 1, 2023.

NNN REIT was formed in 1984 and listed on the New York Stock Exchange in January 1994. The company's common stock will trade under the new name on the New York Stock Exchange beginning on May 8, 2023. The company's ticker symbol, NNN, and CUSIP number will remain the same, as will its website, www.nnnreit.com.

"NNN has a strong track record of maintaining a disciplined approach of operating all aspects of our business with a multi-year view. We believe NNN REIT is the right identity for our company as we move forward and strive to provide long-term value at below average risk for our shareholders," Horn added.

NNN REIT invests primarily in high-quality retail properties subject generally to long-term, net leases. As of December 31, 2022, the company owned 3,411 properties in 48 states with a gross leasable area of approximately 35.0 million square feet and with a weighted average remaining lease term of 10.4 years.
