On October 23, 2018, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Getty Realty Corp. (the “Company”) voted to increase the size of the Board from six directors to seven directors and, effective immediately thereafter, appointed Mary Lou Malanoski to the Board to fill the newly-created directorship. Ms. Malanoski will serve as a director on the Board until the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until her successor is duly elected and qualified.  Immediately subsequent to such appointment, the Board appointed Ms. Malanoski to the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”).

Ms. Malanoski will receive compensation for her service as a director consistent with the compensation paid to the other non-employee directors of the Company.  For 2017, (i) all non-employee directors received an annual director fee of $30,000, which included attendance at all meetings of the Board and (ii) members of the Audit Committee received an annual fee of $12,500, which included attendance at all meetings of the Audit Committee.  In addition, in connection with her appointment, the Compensation Committee granted 3,000 restricted stock units to Ms. Malanoski.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Malanoski and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Malanoski was elected to serve as a director. Ms. Malanoski does not have a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction or proposed transaction with the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
