 incorporate ESG considerations into our business practices and decision-making processes. We believe the growth and sustainability of our business depends on a broad array of factors, including a continuing focus on investments in our people, ethics and integrity, and support of our environmental programs. In June 2024, we published our 2024 Corporate Responsibility Report, which gave us an opportunity to discuss our ongoing approach to corporate responsibility and the emphasis we place on our people, our planet, and our business practices. Notable ESG initiatives conducted in 2023 and into 2024 included:

| ■ | TCFD Alignment – Alignment of our ESG efforts with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) framework including creating a TCFD matrix to identify how we identify, assess, and manage climate-related risks. |

| ■ | Climate Risk Assessment – Conducting a comprehensive assessment using the FEMA NRI to identify the present-day physical risk profile of our properties, and evaluating future transition risks associated with our properties. |

| ■ | Scope 3 Energy Emissions Evaluation – Estimating each of our properties’ Scope 3 GHG emissions (electricity and natural gas usage) using the CBECS model. |

| ■ | Annual Tenant Outreach Survey – Conducting an annual Tenant Outreach Survey seeking our tenants’ feedback regarding sustainability measures and initiatives implemented or that may be implemented at our properties, in order to identify potential ESG opportunities. |

| ■ | Getty Gives Campaign – Continuing our Getty Gives campaign and pro bono legal program to provide our employees with a formal program to support causes meaningful to them and the communities in which we live and work, including corporate donations to charitable organizations selected by our employees, company matching for employee charitable donations, legal services to advance the public interest, and additional paid time off for employee volunteer opportunities. |

| ■ | Culture Committee – Enhancing our culture and fostering employee engagement through sponsoring regularly scheduled group events. |

Our initiatives for 2024 and into 2025 include:

| ■ | Re-assessing our properties using our climate risk assessment and Scope 3 energy emissions evaluations processes to account for recent acquisitions and divestments and aligning those efforts with the TCFD framework. |

| ■ | Incorporating a climate-related risk index component into our acquisition environmental due diligence underwriting process to ensure we understand and account for potential future climate-related risks prior to acquiring a property. |
