6 INAUGURAL $500 MILLION NOTE OFFERING In the beginning of the fourth quarter, AFIN completed an inaugural offering of $500 million senior unsecured notes, enhancing the Company’s capital structure with unsecured debt at what we believe to be favorable terms and obtaining a corporate credit rating Transaction Highlights • On October 7, 2021, AFIN completed an inaugural offering of $500 million senior unsecured notes, representing a significant m ile stone for the Company as it continues to construct an investment - grade style balance sheet. The notes mature on September 30, 2028, have a cou pon rate of 4.50% and are rated (1) BB+ by S&P and Fitch » The offering was well oversubscribed, facilitating attractive pricing and an upsize from $400 million to $500 million » AFIN used the proceeds to repay $186 million of borrowings under the Company’s credit facility and $125 million of certain mortgage notes and will use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes, including property acquisitions to fund gr owt h • In connection with the notes offering, AFIN also amended and restated its credit facility, increasing the total commitments f rom $540 million to $815 million and extended the maturity from 1.6 years to 4.5 years. AFIN also improved the pricing of its credit facility by 15 basis points as compared to the prior facility » The credit facility also features a $435 million “accordion” feature that would increase total commitments to $1.25 billion, sub ject to obtaining additional lender commitments and other conditions » The new facility also includes a condition that would allow AFIN to make a onetime election to switch to a credit rating - based pricing, which would further decrease the applicable interest rate margin. To satisfy this condition, AFIN would need to achi eve an investment grade rating from any two of the three major rating agencies (S&P, Moody’s, and/or Fitch) • AFIN leveraged the Company’s long - standing relationship with its banking partners to deliver what it believes to be superior exe cution and pricing on its inaugural senior unsecured notes offering and credit facility recast As of September 30, 2021 Post Notes Issuance and Credit Facility Recast Notes Credit Rating N/A BB+ (S&P & Fitch) (1) Corporate Credit Rating N/A BB+ (Fitch) | BB (S&P) Weighted Average Debt Maturity 5.0 Years 5.7 Years % of Debt Maturing After 2024 89.7% 100.0% % of Debt Unsecured 10.3% 24.9% 1) A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at a ny time.

American Finance Trust, Inc. 22 DISCLAIMERS This presentation includes estimated projections of future operating results. These projections were not prepared in accordan ce with published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of financial projectio ns. This information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results; the projections were prepared in good faith by management and are bas ed on numerous assumptions that may prove to be wrong. Important factors that may affect actual results and cause the projections to not be achieved include, but are not limited to , r isks and uncertainties relating to the company and other factors described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2019 , the Company's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q and in future filings with the SEC. The projections also reflect assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change. As a result, actual results may differ materially from those contained in the estimates. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimates will be realized. Th e industry in which we operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to variety of factors, including those described in the “Risk Factors” and "Management's Discussi on and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on Feb ruary 25, 2021 and the Company's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q, Current Reports on Form 8 - K and Annual Reports on Form 10 - K filed with the SEC. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in these publications and reports. This presentation contains estimates and information concerning the Company’s industry and the Company’s peer companies that are based on industry publications, reports and peer company public filings. The Company has not independently verified the accuracy of the data contained in these industry publi cat ions, reports and peer company public filings. These estimates and information involve a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to rely on or give undue we ight to this information. The majority of the concessions granted to the Company's tenants as a result of the COVID - 19 pandemic are rent deferrals or temp orary rent abatements with the original lease term unchanged and collection of deferred rent deemed probable. The Company's revenue recognition policy requires that it must be pro bable that the Company will collect virtually all of the lease payments due and does not provide for partial reserves, or the ability to assume partial recovery. In light of the COV ID - 19 pandemic, the FASB and SEC agreed that for leases where the total lease cash flows will remain substantially the same or less than those after the COVID - 19 related effects , companies may choose to forgo the evaluation of the enforceable rights and obligations of the original lease contract as a practical expedient and account for rent concessions a s i f they were part of the enforceable rights and obligations of the parties under the existing lease contract. As a result, rental revenue used to calculate Net Income and NAREIT FFO has no t b een, and the Company does not expect it to be, significantly impacted by these types of deferrals. In addition, since the Company currently believes that these deferral amo unt s are collectable, they have been excluded from the increase in straight - line rent for AFFO purposes the amounts recognized under GAAP relating to these types of rent deferrals. Co nversely, for abatements where contractual rent has been reduced, the reduction is reflected over the remaining lease term for accounting purposes but represents a permanent red uct ion and the Company has, accordingly, reduced its AFFO.
American Finance Trust, Inc. 23 FORWARD - LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements made in this presentation are “forward - looking statements” (as defined in Section 21E of the Exchange Act), w hich reflect the expectations of the Company regarding future events. The forward - looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to dif fer materially from those contained in the forward - looking statements. Such forward - looking statements include, but are not limited to, market and other expectations, objectives, and intentions, as w ell as any other statements that are not historical facts. Our potential risks and uncertainties are presented in the section titled “Item 1A - Risk Factors” disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021, and the Company's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q filed with the SEC. Forward - looking statem ents speak as of the date they and, we disclaim any obligation to update and revise statements contained in these materials to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated eve nts or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law. The following are some of the risks and uncertainties relating to us, although not all risks and uncertainties, that cou ld cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward - looking statements: ▪ We may be unable to acquire properties on advantageous terms or our property acquisitions may not perform as we expect. ▪ We are subject to risks associated with a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of a contagious disease, such as the ongoing global COV ID - 19 pandemic, including negative impacts on our tenants and their respective businesses. ▪ Provisions in our credit facility may limit our ability to pay dividends on our Class A common stock, Series A Preferred Stoc k a nd Series C Preferred Stock. ▪ If we are not able to generate sufficient cash from operations, we may have to reduce the amount of dividends we pay or ident ify other financing sources. ▪ Funding dividends from other sources such as borrowings, asset sales or equity issuances limits the amount we can use for pro per ty acquisitions, investments and other corporate purposes. ▪ Our operating results are affected by economic and regulatory changes that have an adverse impact on the real estate market i n g eneral. ▪ Inflation may have an adverse effect on our investments. ▪ In owning properties we may experience, among other things, unforeseen costs associated with complying with laws and regulati ons and other costs, potential difficulties selling properties and potential damages or losses resulting from climate change. ▪ We depend on tenants for our rental revenue and, accordingly, our rental revenue is dependent upon the success and economic v iab ility of our tenants. If a tenant or lease guarantor declares bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, we may be unable to collect balances due under relevant leases. ▪ Our tenants may not be diversified including by industry type or geographic location. ▪ The performance of our retail portfolio is linked to the market for retail space generally and factors that may impact our re tai l tenants, such as the increasing use of the Internet by retailers and consumers. ▪ We depend on our Advisor and Property Manager to provide us with executive officers, key personnel and all services required for us to conduct our operations. ▪ All of our executive officers face conflicts of interest, such as conflicts created by the terms of our agreements with our A dvi sor and compensation payable thereunder, conflicts allocating investment opportunities to us, and conflicts in allocating their time and attention to our matters. Conflicts that arise may no t be resolved in our favor and could result in actions that are adverse to us. ▪ We have long - term agreements with our Advisor and its affiliates that may be terminated only in limited circumstances. ▪ We have substantial indebtedness and may be unable to repay, refinance, restructure or extend our indebtedness as it becomes due . Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments. We may incur additional indebtedness in the future. ▪ The stockholder rights plan adopted by our board of directors, our classified board and other aspects of our corporate struct ure and Maryland law may discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that might result in a premium price to our stockholders. ▪ Restrictions on share ownership contained in our charter may inhibit market activity in shares of our stock and restrict our bus iness combination opportunities. ▪ We may fail to continue to qualify as a REIT.
Confidential – Not for Distribution 24 24 Appendix
American Finance Trust, Inc. 25 DEFINITIONS AFFO : In calculating AFFO, we start with FFO, then we exclude certain income or expense items from AFFO that we consider to be more reflective of investing activities, such as non - cash income and expense items and the income and expense effects of other activities that are not a fundamental attribute of our day to day operating business plan, such as amounts related to litigation arising out of the merger with American Realty Capital - Retail Centers of America, Inc . in February 2017 (the “Merger”) . These amounts include legal costs incurred as a result of the litigation, portions of which have been and may in the future be reimbursed under insurance policies maintained by us . Insurance reimbursements are deducted from AFFO in the period of reimbursement . We believe that excluding the litigation costs and subsequent insurance reimbursements related to litigation arising out of the Merger helps to provide a better understanding of the operating performance of our business . Other income and expense items also include early extinguishment of debt and unrealized gains and losses, which may not ultimately be realized, such as gains or losses on derivative instruments and gains and losses on investments . In addition, by excluding non - cash income and expense items such as amortization of above - market and below - market leases intangibles, amortization of deferred financing costs, straight - line rent, and share - based compensation related to restricted shares and the 2018 OPP from AFFO, we believe we provide useful information regarding those income and expense items which have a direct impact on our ongoing operating performance . By providing AFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that can be used to, among other things, assess our performance without the impact of transactions or other items that are not related to of our portfolio of properties . AFFO presented by us may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs that define AFFO differently . Please refer to our Form 10 - Q for further details on our calculation of AFFO . Annualized Straight - Line Rent : Straight - line rent which is annualized and calculated using most recent available lease terms as of the period end indicated . Cap Rate : Capitalization rate is a rate of return on a real estate investment property based on the expected, annualized straight - lined rental income that the property will generate under its existing lease or leases during its first year of ownership . Capitalization rate is calculated by dividing the annualized straight - lined rental income the property will generate (before debt service and depreciation and after fixed costs and variable costs) by the purchase price of the property, excluding acquisition costs . Weighted average cap rates are based on square feet unless otherwise indicated . Cash Cap Rate : For acquisitions, cash cap rate is a rate of return on a real estate investment property based on the expected, annualized cash rental income during the first year of ownership that the property will generate under its existing lease or leases . For dispositions, cash cap rate is a rate of return based on the annualized cash rental income of the property to be sold . For acquisitions, cash cap rate is calculated by dividing this annualized cash rental income the property will generate (before debt service and depreciation and after fixed costs and variable costs) by the purchase price of the property, excluding acquisition costs . For dispositions, cash cap rate is calculated by dividing the annualized cash rental income by the contract sales price for the property, excluding acquisition costs . Weighted average cash cap rates are based on square feet unless otherwise indicated . Cash NOI : We define Cash NOI as NOI excluding amortization of above/below market lease intangibles and straight - line adjustments that are included in GAAP lease revenues . Cash Paid for Interest : Calculated based on the interest expense less non - cash portion of interest expense and amortization of mortgage (discount) premium, net . Management believes that Cash Paid for Interest provides useful information to investors to assess our overall solvency and financial flexibility .

Total rent collected during the period includes both original Cash Rent due and payments made by tenants pursuant to rent deferral agreements . Executed Occupancy : Includes Occupancy as defined below as of a particular date as well as all leases fully executed by both parties as of the same date where the tenant has yet to take possession as of such date .

The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from sales of certain real estate assets, gain and losses from change in control and impairment write - downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity . Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to exclude the proportionate share of the non - controlling interest to arrive at FFO attributable to stockholders . Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT's definition .

While such termination payments occur infre que ntly, they represent cash income for accounting and tax purposes and as such management believes they should be included in both FF O a nd AFFO. 2) Primarily includes prepayment costs incurred in connection with early debt extinguishment as well as litigation costs related to the Merger. 3) Reflects legal costs incurred related to disputes with tenants due to store closures or other challenges resulting from COVID - 19 . The tenants involved in these disputes had not recently defaulted on their rent and, prior to the second and third quarters of 2020, had recently exhibited a pattern of regular payment. Based on the tenants involved in these matters, their history of rent payments, and t he impact of the pandemic on current economic conditions, the Company views these costs as COVID - 19 - related and separable from its ordinary general and administrative expenses related to tenant defaults. The Company engaged counsel in connection with these issues s epa rate and distinct from counsel the Company typically engages for tenant defaults. The amount reflects what the Company believ es to be only those incremental legal costs above what the Company typically incurs for tenant - related dispute issues. The Company may continu e to incur these COVID - 19 related legal costs in the future. 4) Represents amounts related to deferred rent pursuant to lease negotiations which qualify for FASB relief for which rent was d efe rred but not reduced. These amounts are included in the straight - line rent receivable on the Company's consolidated balance shee t but are considered to be earned revenue attributed to the current period for which rent was deferred for purposes of AFFO as they are ex pected to be collected. Accordingly, when the deferred amounts are collected, the amounts reduce AFFO. For rent abatements (i ncl uding those qualified for FASB relief), where contractual rent has been reduced, the reduction is reflected over the remaining lease term fo r accounting purposes but represents a permanent reduction and the Company has, accordingly reduced its AFFO. 5) Includes expense related to the amortization of the Company's restricted common shares and LTIP Units related to its multi - year outperformance agreements for all periods presented. 6) Represents dividends declared to common stockholders. In August, 2020, the Company's board of directors approved a change to the Company's dividend policy from a monthly basis to a paying dividends on a quarterly basis in arrears on the 15th day of each month following a fiscal quarter. As a result, no di vid end was declared in the fourth quarter of 2020. This change affected the frequency of dividend payments only and did not impact the annualized dividend rate on Class A common stock of $0.85.
