The information disclosed under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On Thursday, January 13, 2011, GTY NY Leasing, Inc. (“GTY NY”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Getty Realty Corp. (the “Company”), acquired fee or leasehold title to 59 Mobil-branded gasoline station and convenience store properties and also took a security interest in 6 other Mobil-branded gasoline stations and convenience store properties in a sale/leaseback and loan transaction with CPD NY Energy Corp. (“CPD NY”), a subsidiary of Chestnut Petroleum Dist. Inc.  The Company’s total investment in the transaction was $111.3 million, which was financed entirely with borrowings under the Company’s existing $175.0 million credit facility.

The properties were acquired or financed in a simultaneous transaction  among ExxonMobil, CPD NY and Getty Realty Corp. whereby CPD NY acquired a  portfolio of 65 gasoline station and convenience stores from ExxonMobil  and simultaneously completed a sale/leaseback of 59 of the acquired  properties with Getty Realty Corp.  The lease between GTY NY, as lessor,  and CPD NY, as lessee, governing the properties is a unitary triple net  lease agreement (the “Unitary Lease”), with an initial term of 15 years,  and options for up to three successive renewal terms of 10 years each. The  Unitary Lease requires CPD NY to pay a fixed annual rent for the  properties (the “Rent”), plus an amount equal to all rent due to third  party landlords pursuant to the terms of third party leases.  The Rent is  scheduled to increase on the third anniversary of the date of the Unitary  Lease and on every third anniversary thereafter.  As a triple net lessee,  CPD NY is required to pay all amounts pertaining to the properties subject  to the Unitary Lease, including taxes, assessments, licenses and permit  fees, charges for public utilities and all governmental charges.  Partial  funding to CPD NY for the transaction was also provided by the Company  under a secured, self-amortizing loan having a 10-year term (the “CPD  Loan”).  Net rent payments under the Unitary Lease together with interest  earned on the CPD Loan are expected to aggregate approximately $10.2  million in calendar year 2011.    

Item 9.01.  Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.

It is impracticable to provide pro forma financial information showing  the impact on the Company’s historical financial statements of the acquired Properties described in Item 2.01 above at the time of this filing and no such financial information is available at this time.  The Company hereby confirms that it intends to file such financial information, if required, on or before 71 days after the date the Form 8-K must be filed.
