On July 19, 2021, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Getty Realty Corp. (the “Company”) announced the appointment of Evelyn León Infurna to the Board to fill the opening created by the retirement of former Chairman and Company co-founder, Leo Leibowitz, in February 2021. Ms. Infurna will serve as a director on the Board until the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until her successor is duly elected and qualified.  Immediately subsequent to such appointment, the Board appointed Ms. Infurna to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating and Governance Committee”).

Ms. Infurna will receive compensation for her service as a director consistent with the compensation paid to the other non-employee directors of the Company and will be provided with the Company’s standard indemnification agreement for directors (a form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, filed on October 25, 2018 (File No. 001-13777)).  For 2021, Ms. Infurna will receive a pro-rated annual director fee of $40,000, payable in quarterly installments of $10,000 each for the third and fourth quarters of 2021, and a pro-rated annual fee of $5,000 for her membership on the Nominating and Governance Committee, payable in quarterly installments of $1,250 each for the third and fourth quarters of 2021.  In addition, in connection with her appointment, the Compensation Committee of the Board granted 3,500 restricted stock units to Ms. Infurna, which will vest ratably over a five-year period commencing with the first anniversary of the grant date, settle upon the earlier of the tenth anniversary of the grant date or upon termination of Ms. Infurna’s service as a director, and be subject to the other terms of the director RSU awards described in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders under the caption “Director Compensation” filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2021.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Infurna and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Infurna was elected to serve as a director. Ms. Infurna 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.

Ms. Infurna is currently a Senior Vice President of Investor Relations with SmartRent.com Inc.  Previously she was a Managing Director with ICR, LLC specializing in strategic communications, capital markets advisory and investor engagement.  Prior to that, Ms. Infurna was a Managing Director in Equity Capital Markets with Citigroup where she was responsible for raising equity capital for companies in the real estate and lodging sectors.  Ms. Infurna also spent over a decade as a portfolio manager and analyst managing real estate and related securities portfolios with Diamondback, Moore Capital, Amaranth and Barings/Cornerstone Advisers.  She commenced her real estate capital markets career as a Director in equity research with Deutsche Bank.  Ms. Infurna has an MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and a Bachelor of Science from New York University.  Ms. Infurna also serves as an advisory board member to Accesso Partners, a private real estate asset manager based in Miami.
