\n – Mark J. Olear to Retire \u2013<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

\n – Robert J. Ryan Promoted to Chief Investment Officer \u2013<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

NEW YORK, Jan. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Getty Realty Corp. (NYSE: GTY) (\u201cGetty\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a net lease REIT focused on convenience and automotive retail real estate, announced today that Mark J. Olear, Executive Vice President, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer, will retire from the Company effective February 27, 2026. Robert J. (\u201cRJ\u201d) Ryan, Senior Vice President of Acquisitions, has been selected to succeed Mr. Olear as Chief Investment Officer. The position of Chief Operating Officer will not be backfilled.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to congratulate Mark on a successful real estate career spanning more than 40 years. He has led the transformation of our portfolio over the last decade and positioned us for continued success. Mark has been an invaluable resource to me, and a great mentor for his team. He will be missed and we wish him all the best in retirement,\u201d stated Christopher J. Constant, Getty\u2019s President & Chief Executive Officer.\u00a0\u201cI also want to congratulate RJ Ryan on his promotion. RJ has been a critical member and effective leader of Getty\u2019s acquisitions team since 2018, and I am confident that he will thrive in his new role as we continue to grow and diversify our portfolio of convenience and automotive retail properties.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr. Ryan has contributed significantly to Getty\u2019s real estate investment activities since joining the Company in March 2016 as Director of Real Estate. He was promoted to Senior Vice President of Acquisitions in February 2023 after previously serving as Vice President of Acquisitions and Senior Director of Real Estate and Development. Prior to joining Getty, Mr. Ryan served as Vice President of Asset Management for Marx Realty, a Manhattan based owner and developer of office and retail properties. Prior to Marx Realty, Mr. Ryan held various roles at Macerich, a leading owner, operator and developer of major retail and mixed-use developments.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honored to step into this role and thank the Board of Directors for the trust they have placed in me,\u201d stated Mr. Ryan.\u00a0\u201cWorking closely with Mark over the past decade has been a privilege, and I am deeply appreciative of his leadership, guidance and mentorship. I\u2019m excited about the opportunity to build upon the strong foundation we have established at Getty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Until his retirement, Mr. Olear will continue to serve as Executive Vice President, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer, and will work with Mr. Ryan and the rest of the management team to effect an orderly transition. For a period of time thereafter, it is anticipated that Mr. Olear will provide advisory and consulting services to the Company.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been an honor to work alongside such an amazing team. I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished and grateful for the opportunity to have contributed,\u201d commented Mr. Olear.\u00a0\u201cI have appreciated the support of our Board of Directors, Chris, the executive team, and the entire organization throughout my tenure at Getty. I look forward to their continued success.\u201d<\/p>\n
