STAG INDUSTRIAL UPGRADED TO "A" GRESB DISCLOSURE RATING

BOSTON, Oct. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- STAG Industrial, Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE:STAG) today announced that it achieved a GRESB Public Disclosure Level of "A" for 2022.

The improved score triggers a sustainability-related interest rate adjustment for three of the Company's unsecured term loans totaling $650 million in principal amount and the Company's $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, effective October 17, 2022, resulting in an interest rate reduction of two basis points for each instrument.

GRESB is an entity which launched in 2009 that provides a consistent and standard ranking system to evaluate and compare corporate ESG efforts in the real estate industry. For the first time since being rated, the Company received an "A" for its annual GRESB Public Disclosure score. This "A" in 2022 compares favorably to the average score of "B" for all companies, globally, rated by GRESB and to the average score of "C" for the 10 industrial real estate companies in the GRESB public disclosure comparison group that includes the Company.  The Company ranked second among the 10 comparison companies.

"We progressed on several ESG fronts while profitably pursuing our business as an industrial building landlord," said Jeff Sullivan, General Counsel of the Company.  "It is rewarding to have GRESB and the terms of our commercial borrowing arrangements reflect this balanced progress."
