Global Medical REIT Inc. Completes One-for-Five Reverse Stock Split

Global Medical REIT Inc. (NYSE: GMRE) (the “Company” or “GMRE”) announced today that it has completed the previously announced one-for-five reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its issued, outstanding and authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), effective at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time today (the “Effective Time”). Accordingly, at the Effective Time, every five issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock were converted into one share of Common Stock. The par value of each share of Common Stock remained unchanged. The Common Stock will begin trading on a reverse split-adjusted basis on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) at the opening of trading on September 22, 2025. The Common Stock will continue trading on the NYSE under the symbol “GMRE” with a new CUSIP number: 37954A303.

The Reverse Stock Split also effected a proportionate reduction in the Company’s authorized shares of its Common Stock from 500,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares and reduced the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding from 67,037,048 shares to approximately 13,407,409 shares. At the Effective Time, the aggregate number of shares authorized for repurchase under the Company’s stock repurchase program, the aggregate number of shares issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plan, the outstanding equity awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plan, and the outstanding partnership units of Global Medical REIT L.P., the Company’s operating partnership, were ratably adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, each stockholder that would hold fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split is entitled to receive, in lieu of such fractional shares, cash in an amount based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the NYSE today. The Reverse Stock Split applied to all outstanding shares of Common Stock and therefore did not affect any stockholder’s ownership percentage of the Common Stock, except for de minimis changes resulting from the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares. Stockholders of record will be receiving information from Equiniti Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, regarding their stock ownership following the Reverse Stock Split and, if applicable, payments of cash in lieu of fractional shares. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” are not required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
