We are pleased to invite you to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of
NETSTREIT Corp. (the “Company” or “NETSTREIT”) to be held through a virtual web conference at
www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/NTST2026 on May 14, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time. You will be
able to attend the Annual Meeting online, vote your shares electronically, and submit questions in advance of and during
the meeting by logging in to the website listed above using the 16-digit control number included in your notice of
internet availability of proxy materials, on your proxy card, or on any additional voting instructions accompanying these
proxy materials. We recommend that you log in a few minutes before the meeting to ensure you are admitted when the
meeting starts.
We have included with this letter a proxy statement that provides you with detailed information about the Annual
Meeting. We encourage you to read the entire proxy statement carefully. You may also obtain more information about
NETSTREIT from documents we have filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
We have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet under the SEC’s “notice and access” rules.
As a result, we are mailing to our stockholders a notice instead of paper copies of this proxy statement and our 2025
Annual Report. The notice contains instructions on how to access those documents over the Internet. The notice also
contains instructions on how stockholders can receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, including this proxy
statement, our 2025 Annual Report and a form of proxy card or voting instruction form. We believe that providing our
proxy materials over the Internet increases the ability of our stockholders to connect with the information they need,
while reducing the environmental impact and cost of our Annual Meeting.
You are being asked at the Annual Meeting to elect directors named in the accompanying proxy statement, to ratify the
selection by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of KPMG LLP as the independent registered public
accounting firm of the Company for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, to approve, on an advisory basis, the
compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the accompanying proxy statement and to
conduct any other business properly brought before the Annual Meeting.
As always, we encourage you to vote your shares prior to the Annual Meeting. You may vote your shares through
one of the methods described in the accompanying proxy statement. We strongly urge you to read the
accompanying proxy statement carefully and to vote FOR the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors and
FOR the other proposals by following the voting instructions contained in the proxy statement.
Sincerely,

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
(PROPOSAL NO. 1)
Upon the recommendation of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”), the Board has nominated the seven
individuals listed below to stand for election to the Board for a one-year term ending at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2027 or until their
successors, if any, are elected or appointed. Our Articles of Amendment and Restatement (“Charter”) and Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”)
provide for the annual election of directors. Each director nominee must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast to be elected (i.e., the
number of shares voted “for” a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that nominee). In addition, our Corporate Governance
Guidelines contain a resignation policy which provides that in the event an incumbent director fails to receive a majority of the votes cast in an
uncontested election, such director shall promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board for consideration. The Board has determined that each
director nominee, other than Mr. Manheimer, if elected, would be an independent director, as further described below in “Corporate Governance — 
Independence of Directors.”
All of the director nominees listed below have consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and to serve if elected. If any nominee becomes
unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, shares that would have been voted for that nominee will instead be voted for the election
of a substitute nominee proposed by the Board, or alternatively, the Board may may leave a vacancy on the Board or reduce the number of directors to be
elected at the Annual Meeting.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board. Each of our directors has been elected to serve a term ending at the Annual
Meeting. Pursuant to our Charter and Bylaws, the number of our directors may not be fewer than the minimum number required by Maryland law, which
is one, and may not be greater than fifteen, and will generally be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board. Our Board currently consists of
seven members.
Criteria for Selection of Directors
The Nominating Committee is responsible for (i) reviewing the structure, organization, function and composition of the Board and its committees and
make recommendations to the Board regarding changes to the size and composition of the Board or any committee thereof, (ii) identifying, recruiting,
screening, and interviewing individuals that the Nominating Committee believes are qualified to become Board members, and selecting, or recommending
that the Board select, the director nominees to stand for election at each annual meeting of stockholders of the Company in which directors will be elected,
(iii) considering potential director candidates validly recommended by the Company’s stockholders in the same manner as nominees identified by the
Nominating Committee. Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, directors should be able to read and understand financial statements,
understand our industry and possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values. In considering candidates recommended by the
Nominating Committee, the Board intends to consider such factors as: (i) current or recent experience as a senior executive of a public company or as a
leader of another major complex organization; (ii) experience as a director of a public company; (iii) business and financial expertise; (iv) ability to make
sound business judgments; (v) general understanding of the Company’s business; (vi) current or prior industry experience; (vii) current employment; (viii)
diversity of thought, personal background, perspective, experience, skill, education, national origin, gender, race, age, culture and current affiliations; (ix)
having sufficient time to devote to the affairs of the Company; and (x) ability to work constructively with other members and management (where
appropriate) to accomplish and effect their duties.
Recommendation of Nominees by Stockholders
In accordance with its charter, the Nominating Committee will consider candidates for election as a director of the Company that are recommended by
any stockholder. Recommendations of individuals to be considered by the Nominating Committee should be sent to NETSTREIT Corp., 2021 McKinney
Avenue, Suite 1150, Dallas, Texas 75201, Attention: Secretary. All recommendations for nomination received by our Secretary that are made in
accordance with the requirements in our Bylaws relating to director nominations will be considered.
Pursuant to Article II, Section 11 of the current Bylaws, nominations of persons for election to the Board at a meeting of stockholders may be made by
any stockholder of the Company who was a stockholder of record as of the record date set by the Board of Directors for the purpose of determining
stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, at the time of giving of notice of such nomination and at the time of the meeting, who entitled to vote for the
election of directors at the meeting who sends a timely notice in writing to our Secretary containing the information, representations, consents and
certifications required by our Bylaws. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to our Secretary at the Company’s principal executive
offices not earlier than 150 days nor less than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the Proxy Statement for the preceding year’s annual
meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from the first anniversary
of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, in order for notice by the stockholder to be timely, such notice must be so delivered not earlier than the
150th day prior to the date of such annual meeting, on the later of the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting, as originally convened, or the
tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. See “Stockholder Proposals and Nominations for
2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.”
Board and Committee Self-Evaluations
Each year our Board undertakes a self-evaluation process to critically evaluate its performance and effectiveness. Additionally, each committee conducts a
self-evaluation to monitor its performance and effectiveness. The process is coordinated by the Nominating Committee using an independent third-party
to conduct the evaluation process. Board and committee members are asked to provide commentary regarding a variety of topics, including the following:
overall Board performance, including strategy, challenges and opportunities; Board and committee meeting logistics and materials; Board and committee
culture; risk oversight; and succession planning. The results of the evaluations are aggregated and summarized by the independent third party and
discussed at Board and committee meetings.
In addition to the formal annual assessments, the Board evaluates and modifies its oversight of the Company’s operations on an ongoing basis. During
their regular meetings, independent directors consider agenda topics that they believe deserve additional focus and raise new topics to be discussed at
future meetings.
Independence of Directors
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that a majority of the members of the Board, and each member of the Audit Committee, Compensation
Committee and Nominating Committee, must meet the criteria for independence set forth under applicable law and the New York Stock Exchange
(“NYSE”) listing standards. No director qualifies as independent unless the Board determines that the director has no direct or indirect material
relationship with the Company. In addition to considering the NYSE independence criteria, the Board will consider all relevant facts and circumstances of
which it is aware in making an independence determination with respect to any director.
The Board, following consultation with the Nominating Committee, has made director independence determinations with respect to each of our current
directors. Based on the NYSE independence guidelines, the Board has affirmatively determined that (i) Messrs. Christodolou, Minnis, and Troxell and
Mses. Everett, Wittman, and Zeigler (A) have no relationships or only immaterial relationships with us, (B) meet the NYSE independence guidelines with
respect to any such relationships and (C) are independent; and (ii) Mr. Manheimer is not independent. Mr. Manheimer is our President, Chief Executive
Officer (the “CEO”) and Secretary.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
One of the key functions of our Board is informed oversight of our risk management process. Our Board administers this oversight function directly, with
support from its four standing committees, the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Nominating Committee, and the Investment
Committee, each of which addresses risks specific to its respective areas of oversight. In particular, as more fully described below, our Audit Committee
has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial, accounting, operational, litigation, tax, privacy, and cybersecurity risk exposures and the
steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment
and management is undertaken. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, in addition to oversight of the
performance of our internal audit function. Our Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs
has the potential to encourage excessive risk taking. Our Nominating Committee provides oversight with respect to governance, social responsibility and
environmental-related risks and ethical conduct and monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines, including whether such guidelines
are successful in preventing illegal or improper liability creating conduct. Our Investment Committee provides oversight with respect to the Company’s
investments and strategy.
Corporate Responsibility
We are committed to fulfilling our obligations as corporate citizens. As we grow, we intend to integrate environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”)
considerations into our strategy and processes. We intend to leverage this commitment to deepen our ESG approach, using ESG frameworks to identify
material risks and opportunities, analyzing data to refine our strategy, policies, and practices, and providing transparency to our investors and
stakeholders.
 Environmental
Image_61.jpg
Most of our properties operate under a “triple-net” lease structure, which means our tenants have operational control of the property, including
environmental management programs, such as those that conserve resources. To that end, as part of our process for evaluating a potential acquisition, we
incorporate information about a tenant’s commitment to ESG into our investment committee memorandum and take into consideration environmental and
climate risks that might subject us to financial liabilities or regulatory actions. We are committed to identifying sustainable practices that are financially
responsible and operationally feasible when working with our tenants or managing capital improvement projects.
Our top tenants have corporate sustainability programs that govern their business operations, including policies designed to reduce resource consumption
and implement practical conservation policies at their retail locations. As of December 31, 2025, 16 of our top 20 tenants had ESG commitments,
representing 83% of ABR of our top 20 tenants and 44% of our total ABR.
In 2022, we developed green lease clauses, which assist the Company and its tenant companies in delivering sustainability benefits to their respective
stakeholders. As a result, our form lease now contains green lease provisions that include, among other items, certain reporting as to tenant energy and
water use. We have executed green leases with numerous tenants and are pursuing collaborative sharing of utility data to identify opportunities that reduce
energy consumption.
Our corporate headquarters in Dallas, TX is operated at the highest level of efficiency and sustainability, obtaining a LEED v4 O+M: EB Gold
certification, meaning it meets both LEED criteria as well as strict EPA guidelines to achieve an Energy Star rating. Elements of our headquarters, such as
building automation systems, lighting controls, green cleaning, and recycling programs, significantly decrease natural resource use by conserving energy
and water, minimizing waste, and reducing CO2 emissions. We complete our Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas inventory and calculation annually,
and we will continue to monitor for opportunities to reduce our emissions.
We participate annually in GRESB public disclosure submission, and will use the results to identify areas of improvement.
 Social
Image_62.jpg
As of December 31, 2025, we had 29 full-time employees. Our staff is mostly comprised of professional employees engaged in origination, underwriting,
closing, financial reporting, portfolio management and capital markets activities essential to our business.
We are committed to creating a strong internal culture that promotes inclusion and employee well-being. Our past and continued success relies on our
ability to attract, develop, engage, and retain a team of highly motivated and talented employees. In order to meet this objective, we are committed to the
following:
Talent acquisition and development. We provide equal employment
opportunities to all individuals and seek to cultivate an inclusive culture
that respects and appreciates diversity of experience, ideas, and
opinions. To ensure we attract and retain top talent, we provide
competitive compensation and benefits, including stock awards for all
employees. We aim to develop our employees by providing internal
training and reimbursement for certifications, tuition, courses, and
seminars for continuing professional education. We encourage regular
informal feedback directly from the leadership team and complete
formal evaluations of each employee annually.
Workplace culture and empowerment. We ensure that employees have
a clear voice in sharing and upholding our cultural value and
expectations through the Employee Experience Committee (EEC). The
EEC allows the leadership team to engage with, and obtain feedback
from, our employees on their workplace experiences. The EEC is
comprised of non-management members of the organization and rotate
annually. Members meet periodically to discuss recommendations to
present to the leadership team, which may include additional substantive
training, personal growth and professional development programs,
company social and team-building events, employee benefits, and health
and wellness programs. We conduct an annual Employee Engagement
Survey to further enhance our company culture and employee
experience.
Employee wellness. We are committed to providing a safe and healthy
working environment for our employees. We offer competitive
healthcare insurance and generous paid time off, as well as paid medical
and parental leave. We also provide employees with standing desks,
ergonomic desk chairs, and fitness center memberships.

We believe when the Company does well, it is equally important for us to give back to the community. Each quarter, employees select a charitable
organization to sponsor, either through fundraising or in-kind donations, where NETSTREIT matches 100% of all donations. Additionally, the Company
reinforces its commitment to community involvement by offering two annual volunteer days, during which team members provide hands-on support to
local charitable organizations.

compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations;
prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to appropriate persons

accountability for adherence to the code of business conduct and ethics;
the protection of the Company’s legitimate business interests, including
its assets and corporate opportunities; and
confidentiality of information entrusted to directors, officers and
employees by the Company and its tenants.
We intend to promptly disclose on our website (i) the date and nature of any amendment (other than technical, administrative or other non-substantive
amendments) to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting
officer or controller or persons performing similar functions and relates to any element of the code of ethics definition enumerated in Item 406(b) of

Insider Trading Policy
We have adopted insider trading policies and procedures governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers, and
employees. In addition, it is our intent to comply with the applicable laws and regulations relating to insider trading. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy
is filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of our executive officers serves, or in the past has served, as a member of the Board or compensation committee, or other committee serving an
equivalent function, of any entity that has one or more executive officers who serve as members of our Board or our Compensation Committee. Ms.
Wittman, who joined the Compensation Committee in February 2025, previously served as our Interim Chief Financial Officer from November 2022 to
April 2023. None of the other members of our Compensation Committee is, or has ever been, an officer or employee of the Company.

attention. Concerns relating to accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters are immediately brought to the attention of our internal audit
function and handled in accordance with procedures established by the Audit Committee with respect to such matters. From time to time, the Board may
change the process by which stockholders may communicate with the Board. Any such changes will be reflected in our Corporate Governance Guidelines,
which are posted on our website at www.NETSTREIT.com. The information on, or otherwise accessible through, our website does not constitute a part of
this Proxy Statement.
Communications of a confidential nature can be made directly to our non-employee directors or the Chair of the Audit Committee regarding any matter,
including any accounting, internal accounting control, or auditing matter, by submitting such concerns to the Audit Committee or the Chair of the Board.
Any submissions to the Audit Committee or the Chair of the Board should be marked confidential and addressed to the Chair of the Audit Committee or
the Chair of the Board, as the case may be, c/o NETSTREIT Corp., 2021 McKinney Avenue, Suite 1150, Dallas, Texas 75201.
Other Board Information
Leadership Structure of the Board
Lori Wittman is our Chair of the Board and has served in that role since October 2024. Our Board has decided to maintain separate non-executive chair
and CEO roles to allow our CEO to focus on the execution of our business strategy, growth and development, while allowing the non-executive chair to
lead the Board in its fundamental role of providing advice to, and independent oversight of, management. While our Bylaws and Corporate Governance
Guidelines do not require that our non-executive chair and CEO positions be separate, the Board believes that having separate positions is the appropriate
leadership structure for the Company at this time.
Board Meetings
In 2025, our Board held six meetings. In addition to our Board meetings, our directors attend meetings of committees established by our Board. Each of
our director nominees attended at least 75% of the meetings of our Board and the committees on which he or she served during 2025 that were held when
he or she was a director. Our directors are encouraged to attend all annual and special meetings of our stockholders. In 2025, all of the directors attended
the virtual annual meeting of stockholders.
Meetings of Non-Employee Directors
In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the listing standards of the NYSE, our non-employee directors meet regularly in executive
sessions of the Board without management present. Ms. Wittman, the Chair of the Board, presides over these executive sessions.
Committees of the Board
Our Board has four committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Nominating Committee and the Investment Committee, each of
which meets the NYSE independence standards and other governance requirements for such a committee. The principal functions of each committee are
briefly described below.
Additionally, our Board may from time to time establish other committees to facilitate the Board’s oversight of management of the business and affairs of
our company. The charters of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee are available on our website at
www.NETSTREIT.com. The information on, or otherwise accessible through, our website does not constitute a part of this Proxy Statement.

The Audit Committee charter defines the Audit Committee’s principal functions, including oversight related to:

TABLE OF CONTENTS
the integrity of our financial statements and financial reporting process;
the evaluation of the qualifications, independence and performance of
our independent registered public accounting firm;
our accounting and financial reporting processes;
our systems of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control
over financial reporting;
the performance of our internal audit functions;
our compliance with financial, legal and regulatory requirements;
the use of AI in accounting, financial reporting, and compliance
governed through risk management, policies, processes, and controls;
and
our overall risk assessment and management, including risks relating to
data privacy, technology and information security and cybersecurity.
The Audit Committee is also responsible for appointing, compensating, retaining, and overseeing an independent registered public accounting firm,
reviewing with the independent registered public accounting firm the plans for and results of the audit engagement, approving services that may be
provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, including audit and non-audit services, reviewing the independence of the independent
registered public accounting firm, considering the range of audit and non-audit fees, and reviewing the adequacy of our internal accounting controls. The
audit committee also will prepare the audit committee report required by SEC regulations to be included in our annual report.
Our Audit Committee consists of three members, Michael Christodolou, Matthew Troxell, and Lori Wittman, with Mr. Christodolou serving as chair. Our
Board has affirmatively determined that all directors serving on the Audit Committee meet the definition of “independent director” based on the standards
of the NYSE, and satisfy the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Our Board has also determined that (i) each member of the
Audit Committee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under SEC rules and regulations and (ii) each member of the Audit Committee is
“financially literate” as the term is defined by NYSE listing standards.
Compensation Committee
In 2025, the Compensation Committee held six meetings. The Compensation Committee charter defines the Compensation Committee’s principal
functions, including oversight related to:
annually review and approve our corporate goals and objectives with
respect to compensation for our Chief Executive Officer and, at least
annually, evaluating the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light
of those goals and objectives to set his or her annual compensation,
including salary, bonus, fees, benefits, incentive awards and perquisites;
review and approve compensation of other executive officers, including
salaries, bonuses, fees, benefits, incentive awards and perquisites;
review and approve new incentive compensation plans and equity-based
plans and amendments to any existing plans;
annually evaluate and approve appropriate compensation for non-
employee directors;
review and approve any clawback policy;
review and discuss with management our compensation discussion and
analysis required by SEC regulations and recommending to the Board
that such compensation discussion and analysis be included in our
annual report; and
prepare the compensation committee report to be included in our proxy
statement.
Our Compensation Committee consists of three members, Matthew Troxell, Heidi Everett and Lori Wittman, with Mr. Troxell serving as chair. Our
Board has affirmatively determined that all directors who serve on the Compensation Committee are independent under applicable NYSE rules and that
each member of our Compensation Committee meets the definition of a “non-employee director” for the purposes of serving on our Compensation
Committee under the Exchange Act.
Through July 2025, the Compensation Committee again engaged Ferguson Partners Consulting L.P. (“FPC”) as its independent consultant. FPC reported
directly to the Compensation Committee, which retained the sole authority to direct the work of, engage or terminate FPC. FPC conducted an analysis and
provided advice on, among other things, our executive compensation, director compensation, and incentive plan design. As part of its analysis, FPC
collected and analyzed compensation information from a peer group of comparable public companies and reported to the Compensation Committee. The
Compensation Committee considered this report by FPC when making its determinations regarding executive compensation in 2025, as detailed below in
the section titled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Peer Group Development Process and How We Used the Data.”
In July 2025, the Compensation Committee engaged a new compensation consultant, Farient Advisors, LLC (“Farient”), a nationally recognized
compensation consulting firm, as its independent consultant, replacing FPC. Farient reports directly to the Compensation Committee, which retains the
sole authority to direct the work of, engage or terminate Farient. The mandate of Farient is to serve the Company and work with the Compensation
Committee in its review of executive and director compensation practices, including the competitiveness of pay levels, program design, market trends,
and technical considerations. The Compensation Committee worked with Farient to review and update our peer group, provide a competitive market
analysis of the base salary, annual cash incentive awards, and long-term incentive compensation of our executive officers compared to the compensation
peer group and review other market practices and trends to inform our 2026 compensation program.
Other than with respect to consulting on executive and director compensation matters, neither FPC nor Farient has performed other services for the
Compensation Committee or the Company. The Compensation Committee has reviewed the independence of FPC and Farient in light of, among other
things, SEC rules and NYSE listing standards regarding compensation consultants and has concluded that neither FPC's nor Farient’s work for the
Compensation Committee raises any conflict of interest.
Nominating Committee
In 2025, the Nominating Committee held four meetings. The Nominating Committee charter defines the Nominating Committee’s principal functions,
including oversight related to:
identifying and recommending candidates to fill vacancies on the Board
and for election by the stockholders;

Annual Cash Retainer: Annual cash retainer of $70,000, payable in
quarterly installments in arrears (and prorated for partial service).
Chair Fees: The additional annual cash retainer amount of $50,000 is
payable to either an independent Chair or a lead independent director.
The Chairs of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the
Nominating Committee, and the Investment Committee will receive
additional annual cash retainers of $20,000, $15,000, $15,000, and
$15,000, respectively.
Committee Fees: Non-Chair members of the Audit Committee, the
Compensation Committee, the Nominating Committee, and the
Investment Committee will receive additional annual cash retainers of
$10,000, $7,500, $7,500, and $7,500, respectively.
Equity Awards: Annual award of RSUs with a value at grant of
approximately $105,000 vesting on the first anniversary of the grant
date, generally subject to continued service as a director through the
vesting date.
We also reimburse our directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their duties as directors, including
without limitation travel expenses in connection with their attendance in-person at Board and committee meetings.
The Company has stock ownership guidelines with respect to non-employee directors. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Governance and
Other Considerations — Stock Ownership Requirements” for additional information.
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners, Directors and Management
The SEC has defined “beneficial ownership” of a security to mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of voting power and/or investment power over
such security. A stockholder is also deemed to be, as of any date, the beneficial owner of all securities that such stockholder has the right to acquire within
60 days after that date through (1) the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (2) the conversion of a security, (3) the power to revoke a trust,
discretionary account or similar arrangement or (4) the automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement.
The following table sets forth information, as of March 17, 2026, known to us about the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock by our 5% or
greater stockholders and by our named executive officers, directors and executive officers and directors as a group. In computing the number of shares
beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of our common stock subject to options or other rights (as set forth
above) held by that person that are exercisable as of March 17, 2026 or will become exercisable within 60 days thereafter, are deemed outstanding, while
such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person. The percentage calculations set forth in the

Schedules 13G or 13D, as applicable, filed with the SEC.
Each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all of the shares of our common stock shown as beneficially owned
by such person, except as otherwise set forth in the notes to the table. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each named person is c/o NETSTREIT

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) discusses our executive compensation philosophy, objectives and programs, the compensation
decisions made under those programs, and the factors considered by the Compensation Committee of our Board (the “Committee”) in making those
decisions. The CD&A focuses on the compensation of our named executive officers for 2025:
Named Executive Officer
Title
Mark Manheimer
President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary
Daniel Donlan
Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Mr. Manheimer and Mr. Donlan are our named executive officers for 2025 based on their respective positions with us as principal executive officer and
principal financial officer during 2025. Because we only had two “executive officers” as defined in Exchange Act Rule 3b-7 during 2025, we only have
two named executive officers.
Overview of the Compensation Program
The Committee is responsible for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring adherence with our compensation philosophy and executive
compensation programs. The Committee strives to ensure that the total compensation paid to our executive officers is fair, reasonable and competitive.
Generally, the types of compensation and benefits provided to our executive officers, including the named executive officers, are similar to those provided
to executive officers at comparable companies in similarly situated positions.
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Committee believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of our specific annual,
long-term and strategic goals, and which aligns executives’ interests with those of our stockholders by rewarding performance above pre-established
goals, with the ultimate objective of improving stockholder value. The Committee evaluates both performance and compensation to ensure that we
maintain our ability to attract and retain employees in key positions and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the
compensation paid to similarly situated executives at comparable companies. To that end, the Committee believes that the executive compensation
packages provided by us to our named executive officers generally should include both cash- and equity-based compensation that rewards performance as
measured against pre-established goals. Our pay-for-performance philosophy, as shown below, is evidenced by a significant portion of our Chief
Executive Officer’s (84%) and Chief Financial Officer’s (75%) target compensation for 2025, as approved by the Committee in February 2025, being
performance-based/at-risk.

What We Don’t Do:
We Pay for Performance: A substantial portion of our
compensation is not guaranteed but rather is at risk in that it is
linked to the achievement of key operating and financial goals as
measured by clear pre-established metrics. For 2025, 84% of our
CEO’s target compensation and 75% of our CFO’s target
compensation was performance-based and/or at-risk. Performance-
based equity for our CEO represents 60% of his annual long-term
incentive opportunity (as compared to an average of only 45% in
our peer group)
X
No Automatic Salary Increases or Guaranteed Bonuses: We do
not guarantee annual salary increases or bonuses and none of the
employment agreements with our named executive officers contain
such provisions.
We Balance Short-Term and Long-Term Incentives: Our
incentive programs provide a balance of annual and longer-term
incentives, including a variety of performance metrics that measure
both absolute and relative performance.
X
No Guaranteed Incentives: We do not provide multi-year
guaranteed incentive awards for our named executive officers.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
What We Do:
X
What We Don’t Do:
X
No Current Payment of Dividends or Dividend Equivalents on
Unvested Awards: Dividend equivalents accrue during the vesting
period and are only paid to the extent the underlying awards vest.
We Seek the Input of our Stockholders: Annually, we present our
executive compensation to a “Say-on-Pay” vote by our
stockholders.
X
No Excessive Perquisites: We generally do not provide perquisites
or personal benefits to our named executive officers.
We Seek Alignment with Our Stockholders: We require both our
named executive officers and our directors to maintain a meaningful
ownership stake in the Company through our stock ownership
policy. We also design our executive compensation program to
align with long-term objectives that support the creation of
stockholder value.
X
No Hedging or Pledging: We have policies that prohibit our
directors, officers and employees from (1) entering into hedging or
monetization transactions involving Company stock and (2) holding
Company stock in a margin account or pledging Company stock as
collateral for a loan.
We Align Compensation Practices with Market: As part of our
annual review of executive compensation, we evaluate and consider
market data for applicable peers.
X
No Tax Gross-Ups: We do not provide tax gross-ups on any
severance, change-in-control or other payments.
We Retain an Independent Compensation Consultant: Our
Compensation Committee engages an independent compensation
consultant to provide guidance on a variety of compensation
matters.
X
No Automatic Change in Control Acceleration: We do not
provide “single-trigger” accelerated vesting of equity-based awards
upon a change in control. See “— Potential Payments Upon
Termination or Change in Control” below.
The Committee will continue to monitor and evaluate our executive compensation program going forward in light of our stockholders’ views and our
transforming business needs. In addition, the Committee expects to continue to consider the outcome of our “say-on-pay” advisory votes and our
stockholders’ views when making future compensation decisions for the named executive officers.
Say on Pay Advisory Vote Results and Stockholder Outreach
Stockholders are provided the opportunity to cast an annual advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. At our 2025 annual
meeting of stockholders, approximately 92% of the votes cast on the “say-on-pay” advisory proposal were in favor of the 2024 compensation paid to our
named executive officers, which we believe affirms our stockholders’ support of our approach to our NEO compensation program and we therefore did
not make any significant changes to the structure of the program.
Setting Executive Compensation
Role of the Committee and Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions
The Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the compensation of our named executive officers. In this capacity, and based on the foregoing
objectives, the Committee has structured our executive compensation programs to motivate our executives to achieve the corporate performance goals set
by us and to reward the executives for achieving these goals. In evaluating executive compensation, the Committee considers a variety of factors,
including market demands and compensation data, internal equity and external surveys, which provide insight into and guidance on the pay practices of
similar companies. While survey data provides us with a helpful guideline, we do not make compensation decisions based on any single factor.
Our Chief Executive Officer annually reviews the performance of all executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer, whose performance is
reviewed by the Committee). The conclusions reached and recommendations made based on these reviews, including with respect to salary adjustments
and annual short-term incentive opportunity and actual payout amounts, are presented to the Committee, which has the discretion to modify any
recommended adjustments or awards to executives.
The Committee has final approval over all compensation decisions for our named executive officers and approves recommendations regarding cash and
equity awards to each of our executive officers.
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
To assist with the analysis of executive compensation for fiscal year 2025, the Committee retained FPC as its independent compensation consultant
through July 2025, and retained Farient in July 2025. FPC and Farient both report directly to the Committee, and the Committee has the sole authority to
hire, fire and direct the work of both FPC and Farient. For fiscal year 2025, FPC advised the Committee on a variety of compensation-related issues,
including: (1) evaluating the current executive compensation program design and assisting in structuring an executive compensation program that meets
the objectives described above; (2) identifying the appropriate mix of compensation components, including base salary, short-term incentives and long-
term incentives to ensure proper incentive alignment; (3) reviewing the compensation practices of other REITs in order to evaluate market trends and
compare our executive compensation program and compensation for other senior employees with our competitors; and (4) assisting with developing a
peer group of companies for formal compensation benchmarking purposes.
Through review and consultation with FPC and Farient, the Committee assessed the independence of FPC and Farient in light of, among other factors, the
independence factors established by the NYSE. As a result of this assessment, the Committee has determined that FPC's and Farient’s work raised no
conflict of interest currently or during the 2025 fiscal year.
Peer Group Development Process and How We Used the Data
The Committee reviews and makes adjustments to the composition of the peer group on an annual basis, or more often as deemed necessary, to account
for changes in both our business and the businesses of the companies in the peer group. The Committee does not have a specific target compensation level
24 | 2026 PROXY STATEMENT
TABLE OF CONTENTS
for the named executive officers. Instead, we review data concerning practices at our peer group companies and within the REIT industry as a reference
point to assist in developing programs that will attract and retain talent and drive company performance.
In October 2024, the Committee, after considering stockholder feedback and using information provided by FPC, established the following peer group to
be used in connection with making compensation decisions for 2025:
2025 Peer Group(1)
Agree Realty (ADC)
Getty Realty (GTY)
Chatham Lodging Trust (CLDT)
Peakstone Realty Trust (PKST)
Community Healthcare Trust (CHCT)
Plymouth Industrial REIT (PLYM)
Essential Properties Realty Trust (EPRT)
Retail Opportunity Investments (ROIC)
Four Corners Property Trust (FCPT)
Sila Realty Trust (SILA)
FrontView FREIT (FVR)
Urban Edge Properties (UE)
(1)In October 2025, the Committee approved the peer group to be used in connection with making compensation decisions for 2026. We removed
Chatham Lodging Trust, Community Healthcare Trust, and Retail Opportunity Investments; and added Acadia Realty Trust, InvenTrust Properties, NNN
REIT, and Whitestone REIT to the 2026 peer group.
The 2025 peer group was established based on two parameters: (1) industry focus; and (2) size, as measured by a company’s total enterprise value and
implied equity market capitalization. Specifically, the Committee’s selection process focused primarily on net lease and external growth oriented REITs
and secondarily on other retail REITs (excluding regional malls), other REITs and geographic competitors, in each case of comparable size, with both
total enterprise value and implied equity market capitalization generally between 0.25x and 3.0x of the Company’s then-current total enterprise value and
implied equity market capitalization. Based on these criteria, the Committee added two companies, FrontView REIT and Sila Realty Trust.
In addition, the Committee approved two triple-net lease free standing retail REITs as “structure peers” for 2025: NNN REIT, Inc. and Realty Income
Corporation. The Committee uses both the peer group and the structure peers to assess the alignment of our executive compensation program structure
with current market practices, but only the peer group is used to assess magnitude of compensation.
Executive Compensation Components
The principal components of compensation for our named executive officers generally are: (1) base salary; (2) short-term incentives (“STI”); and (3) time-
and performance-based long-term incentive (“LTI”) awards granted pursuant to the Company’s 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the
“Omnibus Plan”).
The table below summarizes the 2025 target compensation opportunities that the Committee approved for our named executive officers. These amounts,
which are discussed in further detail below, differ from those shown in the Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement, which report
the actual STI payouts earned based on 2025 performance and the grant date fair value of the LTI awards.

Base Salary
We generally provide our named executive officers and other employees with base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year.
Base salaries established for our named executive officers are intended to reflect each individual’s responsibilities, experience, historical performance and
other discretionary factors deemed relevant by the Committee and have generally been set at levels deemed necessary to attract and retain talented
individuals. Base salaries are also designed to provide our named executive officers with steady income during the course of the fiscal year that is not
contingent on short-term variations in the Company’s operating performance. The initial base salary for our named executive officers is generally
established in an employment agreement.
Salary levels are reviewed annually as part of our performance review process as well as upon a promotion or other material change in job responsibility.
Merit-based increases to salaries of the executives are based on the Committee’s assessment of the individual’s performance.
When setting the annual base salaries of our executives, the Committee primarily considers the scope of an executive’s responsibilities, internal pay
equity, the executive’s individual performance, and competitive market data. The Committee reviews these criteria collectively but does not assign a
weight to any criterion when setting base salaries. Each base salary adjustment is made by the Committee subjectively based upon the foregoing.
In early 2025, after considering the criteria described above, the Committee determined not to increase Mr. Manheimer’s base salary rate for fiscal year
2025, as his base salary remained market competitive. The Committee approved a 6.7% increase to Mr. Donlan’s base salary rate for fiscal year 2025, to

stay competitive with comparable salaries within our peer group. Accordingly, the 2025 base salary rates for Messrs. Manheimer and Donlan were as
follows:
Name
2025 Base Salary Rate ($)
(Effective January 1, 2025)
Mark Manheimer
700,000
Daniel Donlan
400,000
Short-Term Incentive Program
Our executive officers generally are eligible for STI based on Company performance, with payment amounts determined by the Committee based on the
Committee’s assessment of performance for the applicable year. The STI program is intended to focus the entire organization on meeting or exceeding the
annual performance goals that are set during the early part of each year and approved by the Committee, while also providing significant opportunity to
reward individual contributions.
An executive officer’s STI opportunity under our STI program is tied to such executive’s base salary rate in effect at the time of grant, and such
opportunity generally increases as their ability to affect the Company’s performance increases. Consequently, as an executive’s responsibilities increase,
his variable compensation in the form of STI opportunity, which is dependent on Company performance, generally makes up a larger portion of the
executive’s total compensation.
The 2025 STI opportunities for Messrs. Manheimer and Donlan, which were determined by the Committee in early 2025, are set forth in the table below.
Messrs. Manheimer’s and Donlan’s 2025 STI opportunities did not change year-over-year.

(1)Linear interpolation is applied between the specified performance levels for all metrics described below. Further, for each metric, there is no payout for
performance below threshold and no increased payout for performance above maximum.
For our 2025 STI program, the Committee determined to use the pre-established corporate performance goals noted in the table below, which comprised
80% of the award opportunity. The Committee believed these corporate performance goals reflected commonly recognized measures of financial and
operating performance within our industry and were key drivers of sustained value creation for our stockholders. For our 2025 STI program, the
Committee determined to replace the general and administrative expense performance goals that were included in the 2024 STI program with two tenant
concentration goals to focus management on key portfolio diversification metrics that impact the risk-adjusted profile and value of the Company. The
remaining 20% of the STI opportunity was based on the Committee’s qualitative assessment of both individual and overall Company performance during
2025. The corporate performance goals and weightings, in addition to our actual performance, are set forth in the following table:

tenants as tenants, or tenants that are subsidiaries of a parent entity, with a credit rating of BBB- (S&P/Fitch), Baa3 (Moody’s) or NAIC-2 (National
Association of Insurance Commissioners) or higher. We define “Investment Grade Profile” tenants as tenants with metrics of more than $1.0 billion in
annual sales and a debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of less than 2.0x, but do not carry a published rating from S&P, Moody’s or NAIC. This goal reflects
the Company’s continued ability to source and close acquisition opportunities that meet its stated credit objectives.
(4)Four quarter 2025 average of reported adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDAre, which adjusts for the impact of the estimated cash yield on
developments in process, intra-quarter acquisitions, dispositions and re-leasing activities, and includes the settlement of forward shares pursuant to

outstanding forward sales agreements. This goal reflects the Company’s ability to effectively finance our acquisitions within our stated targeted
leverage range of 4.5x to 5.5x.
(5)The Committee evaluated Company overall performance during 2025 across several categories, as discussed below.
In evaluating the subjective performance component, the Committee considered Company performance across several categories, including operations,
acquisitions and dispositions, asset management, and culture, as well as each of Messrs. Manheimer’s and Donlan’s respective contributions to such
overall performance. In determining the achievement level of the subjective performance component, the Committee considered the Company’s net
investment activity, portfolio management, tenant concentration and relative stock price performance.
The 2025 STI earned by each of Messrs. Manheimer and Donlan for 2025 is set forth in the following table:

(1)Pursuant to our Alignment of Interest Program, which is described below, Messrs. Manheimer and Donlan each elected to receive an award of RSUs
under the Omnibus Plan (such award, “Alignment RSUs”) in lieu of 50% and 25%, respectively, of their 2025 STIs. Accordingly, 50% of Mr.
Manheimer’s 2025 STI was paid in the form of Alignment RSUs, and the remaining 50% was paid in cash, and 25% of Mr. Donlan’s 2025 STI was
paid in the form of Alignment RSUs, and the remaining 75% was paid in cash.
Alignment of Interest Program
In March 2021, the Committee adopted an Alignment of Interest Program (the “Program”) pursuant to the Omnibus Plan. Messrs. Manheimer and
Donlan, along with all other employees of the Company, are eligible to participate in the Program. The Program allows individuals who are eligible to
receive awards under the Omnibus Plan, as selected by the Committee from time to time, to elect to receive RSUs under the Omnibus Plan in lieu of a
specified percentage of cash compensation, which election must be made by the end of the prior fiscal year. The amount of compensation that a
participant elects to reduce will be applied to the issuance of an award of Alignment RSUs under the Omnibus Plan, and the participant will receive an
additional award of RSUs under the Omnibus Plan based upon a multiple of the Alignment RSUs (the “Alignment Multiplier”) (the “Additional RSUs,”
and collectively with the Alignment RSUs, the “Awarded RSUs”). The number of Alignment RSUs will be determined as of the second business day
following the release of the Company’s fourth quarter earnings for the most recently completed fiscal year, or, if such date is not a trading day, then the
trading day immediately following such date, and the Awarded RSUs will be granted to a participant as soon as administratively feasible following such
date.
The Committee will determine the minimum and maximum percentage of each compensation type that may be reduced and applied to Alignment RSUs,
the lengths of the vesting periods and the corresponding Alignment Multipliers that may apply under the Program. Currently, executive officers may elect
to receive Alignment RSUs in lieu of up to 75% of STI compensation that is earned with respect to a fiscal year, with the number of Additional RSUs
being determined by application of an Alignment Multiplier of 0.25x. Awarded RSUs will vest over three years, in substantially equal annual
installments, generally subject to continued provision of services. As set forth in the form of RSU agreement governing the Awarded RSUs, in the event
of a termination by the Company without “cause” or a resignation for “good reason” (each as defined in the Omnibus Plan), the Awarded RSUs will
immediately vest in full.
The Committee believes that this deferral program reinforces a long-term focus on stockholder value creation, promotes the retention of our management
team, and is appropriate relative to other REITs that utilize similar cash deferral programs. Furthermore, the 0.25x Alignment Multiplier is factored into
each executive officer’s pay opportunity to ensure that the program benefit would not result in excessive compensation relative to our peers.
Long-Term Incentive Awards
We utilize long-term incentive awards under the Omnibus Plan to align executive compensation and performance, incentivize the advancement of our
critical business objectives, promote long-term stockholder value creation, and reward and retain key employees. Consistent with this approach, the
majority of our named executive officers’ annual compensation is generally provided in the form of long-term incentive awards that emphasize these
objectives through a balanced mix of time-based RSUs and Performance Stock Unit (“PSU”) awards. For 2025, the time-based RSUs granted to our
named executive officers vest over a three-year period and represent 40% of the long-term incentive opportunity, and the PSUs granted to our named
executive officers vest in three years based on performance achieved against pre-determined performance goals and represent 60% of the long-term
incentive opportunity.
Time-Based RSUs. RSU awards with time-based vesting align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders by promoting
the stability and retention of an effective executive team over the longer term. In February 2025, the Committee approved the grant of the following time-
based RSU awards to each of our named executive officers, which vest annually in three equal installments commencing on February 26, 2026, subject to
continued service through each vesting date:

Performance-Based RSUs. PSUs are generally a substantial, at-risk component of our executive officers’ compensation tied to the Company’s long-term
performance. In February 2025, the Committee approved the grant of the following PSU awards (at target) to each of our named executive officers:

The number of PSUs that will vest depends on (1) the Company’s total stockholder return (“TSR”), which assumes reinvestment of dividends on the ex-
dividend date over the three-year performance period ending on December 31, 2027 (the “Performance Period”), which represents 60% of the
performance-based, long-term incentive opportunity (“Absolute TSR”), and (2) the Company’s TSR relative to a custom peer group of 30 companies (as
set forth below, the “RTSR Comparator Group”) over the Performance Period, which represents 40% of the performance-based, long-term incentive
opportunity (“Relative TSR”). The threshold, target and maximum performance levels for the Absolute TSR and Relative TSR goals are set forth in the
following table:

(1)There is no payout for performance below threshold and no increase for performance above maximum. Further, to the extent actual performance falls
between two performance levels, linear interpolation is applied.
The PSUs are intended to provide an above-target payout only if the Company delivers significant value to our stockholders. The TSR-based performance
goals are reviewed annually by the Committee, taking into consideration (i) peer group market data, (ii) current best governance practices, and (iii)
investor expectations based on economic conditions. The Committee determined that the target performance levels underlying our Absolute TSR and
Relative TSR goals were set at meaningfully rigorous levels, as they require an 8% annual return and above median relative outperformance, respectively,
to earn a target level payout.
Subject to the terms of the award agreements evidencing the PSUs, between zero and 200% of the target number of PSUs will vest on December 31, 2027,
depending on the Company’s Absolute TSR and Relative TSR over the Performance Period.

the 2022 PSUs were scheduled to vest based on the Company’s Absolute TSR and Relative TSR over the three-year performance period ending on
February 28, 2025.

Other Benefits
Employee Benefit and Retirement Programs
We maintain a health and welfare plan and a qualified defined contribution 401(k) plan in which all of our eligible employees, including our executive
officers, may participate. The Company will match 100% of up to 6% of a participant’s deferral per year under the 401(k) plan. Eligible employees are
100% vested in their 401(k) plan accounts.
Perquisites
We generally do not provide perquisites or personal benefits to our named executive officers.
Employment Agreements and Severance Benefits
We generally provide our named executive officers with certain severance protections in their employment agreements in order to attract and retain an
appropriate caliber of talent for such positions. Our employment agreements with named executive officers and the severance provisions set forth therein
are summarized below under “— Employment Agreements” and “— Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.” We intend to
periodically review the level of the benefits in these agreements.
Governance and Other Considerations
Stock Ownership Requirements
Under the Company’s stock ownership guidelines, our executive officers and non-employee directors must meet their applicable stock ownership
requirement as set forth in the table below within five years from the date they first become subject to that particular level of stock ownership:
Image_106.jpg
(1)In February 2025, our Board increased the stock ownership requirement for each of our non-employee directors from three times to four times annual
retainer to better align with stockholder and market expectations.
Individual ownership interest is reviewed annually as of the last day of the calendar year. The dollar value of shares at the end of a given calendar year is
determined using the average of the month-end closing prices of our common stock for the prior 12 months preceding the applicable measurement date.
Shares that count toward satisfaction of these guidelines include: (1) shares owned outright by the individual; (2) shares owned jointly by the individual
and his or her spouse or held in a trust established by the individual for the benefit of the individual or his/her family members; (3) units of limited
partnership interest of NETSTREIT, L.P.; and (4) time-vesting (i) restricted shares of common stock, (ii) RSUs or LTIP Units (as defined in the Second
Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership), or (iii) similar time-vesting equity awards granted under our
equity incentive plans, whether or not vested. Any unvested equity awards with performance-based vesting conditions are not counted toward satisfaction
of these stock ownership guidelines.
Until an individual subject to the stock ownership guidelines meets his or her applicable stock ownership requirement, he or she must retain 50% of the
net shares issued to the individual upon exercise, vesting, settlement, or earn-out of an equity award. This retention requirement is applied on an award-
by-award basis until the applicable stock ownership requirement has been met.
As of December 31, 2025, all of our executive officers and non-employee directors were in compliance with our stock ownership guidelines.
Prohibition on Hedging and Pledging
The Company’s Insider Trading Policy (the “Policy”) prohibits directors and employees, including our named executive officers, from (1) entering into
hedging or monetization transactions involving our Company stock and (2) holding our Company stock in a margin account or pledging our Company
stock as collateral for a loan. We maintain this policy because such transactions could create the appearance that the person is trading on inside
information, and we believe this policy serves to further align the interests of our employees, executives and directors with our stockholders’ interests. An
excerpt from the Policy is set forth below:
Margin Accounts and Pledges. Persons subject to this Policy may not pledge any Company securities as collateral for a loan and such person may
not hold Company securities as collateral in a margin account. Such persons may not have control over these transactions as the securities may be
sold at certain times without such person’s consent. A margin or foreclosure sale that occurs when a person subject to this Policy is aware of
material, nonpublic information may, under some circumstances, result in unlawful insider trading.
Hedges and Monetization Transactions. Persons subject to this Policy may not engage in hedging or monetization transactions, through transactions
in Company securities or through the use of financial instruments designed for such purpose. Such hedging and monetization transactions may
permit a person to own Company securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the person may no longer have
the same objectives as the Company’s stockholders generally.

Clawback Policy
Our Compensation Committee has adopted a clawback policy that complies with the with NYSE listing standards that implement the SEC rules under the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and applies to our current and former executive officers (as defined in applicable SEC
rules). The policy provides that, in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the
Company with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws (including any accounting restatement to correct an error in
previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements or that would result in a material misstatement if the
error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period), the Company must recover from covered executive officer who
received incentive compensation during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the account restatement,
based on the erroneous data, the amount, if any, in excess of which would have been paid to the covered executive officers under the accounting
restatement. Under the policy, recoupment is required regardless of whether the covered executive officer engaged in any misconduct and regardless of
fault and the Company’s obligation to clawback incentive compensation is not dependent on whether or when any restated financial statements are filed.
In addition, the Committee may dismiss an executive officer, authorize legal action, or take such other action to enforce the executive officer’s obligations
to the Company as it may deem appropriate in view of all facts surrounding the particular case. This policy applies to incentive compensation that is
received by a covered officer on or after October 2, 2023.
Our prior clawback policy, which still applies to incentive compensation received before October 2, 2023, provides that, in the event the Company is
required by applicable U.S. federal securities laws to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any
financial reporting requirement under such securities laws, the Company may recover from executive officers who received incentive compensation
during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, based on the erroneous data, the
amount, if any, in excess of what would have been paid to the executive officers under the accounting restatement. In determining what actions to take
under our prior clawback policy, the Committee will take into account all relevant factors, including whether the executive officer engaged in fraud,
misconduct, or other bad-faith action that caused or partially caused the need for the restatement. In addition, the Committee may dismiss an executive
officer, authorize legal action, or take such other action to enforce the executive officer’s obligations to the Company as it may deem appropriate in view
of all the facts surrounding the particular case.
Both our current and prior clawback policies are administered by the Committee, which has the sole discretion in making all determinations under the
clawback policies, which will be binding on all individuals.
Equity Grant Practices
Our equity incentive grant policy generally provides that annual grants to executive officers pursuant to our long-term incentive program occur on the
second trading day following the filing date of our Annual Report on Form 10-K that occurs after the date on which such grants are approved by our
Compensation Committee. Accordingly, our long-term incentive equity incentive grant policy generally requires that grants to our executive officers be
made shortly after we have released information about our financial performance to the public for the applicable annual period. As a result, the timing of
equity awards is not coordinated in a manner that intentionally benefits our executive officers.

Employment Agreements
Manheimer Employment Agreement
On February 22, 2022, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement (the “Manheimer Employment Agreement”) with Mr.

(1)The threshold, target, and maximum annual incentive amounts represent 50%, 100%, and 200%, respectively, of the target STI opportunity for each
named executive officer. If actual performance falls between threshold and target or between target and maximum, the award would be calculated
using linear interpolation. The annual incentive awards are also based on a percentage of base salary, which is 100% and 106% for Mr. Manheimer and
Mr. Donlan, respectively. The target amount is generally the named executive officer’s base salary multiplied by his target opportunity. The dollar
value of the actual non-equity plan incentive compensation earned for the year ended December 31, 2025 for each named executive officer is set forth

(5)As described above under footnote (1) to the Summary Compensation Table, Messrs. Manheimer and Donlan were granted 10,682 and 4,323
Additional RSUs, respectively. These 2025 Additional RSUs vest ratably on each of the first three anniversaries of February 26, 2025, generally
subject to Mr. Manheimer’s and Mr Donlan’s respective continued employment through each vesting date. See the Compensation Discussion and
Analysis above under the heading “Executive Compensation Components — Alignment of Interest Program” for more detail.
Short-Term Incentives
A summary description of the Company’s STI program is included in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis above under the heading “Executive
Compensation Components — Short-Term Incentive Program.”
Long-Term Incentives
The PSUs and RSUs were granted pursuant to the Omnibus Plan, a summary description of which is included in the Compensation Discussion and
Analysis above under the heading “Executive Compensation Components — Long-Term Incentive Awards.”
PSUs
Vesting of each PSU award is contingent on the Company attaining certain levels of absolute TSR and relative TSR over the three-year performance
period. 60% of each PSU award can be earned based on absolute TSR performance and 40% can be earned based on the Company’s TSR performance
relative to the TSR performance of a specified peer group. If threshold, target, or maximum performance goals are attained in a performance period, 50%,
100%, or 200% of the target amount, respectively, may be earned. If actual performance falls between threshold and maximum, the award would be
calculated using linear interpolation. For a description of the effect of a termination of employment or a change in control on the vesting of PSUs, please
see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”
RSUs
The RSUs granted to Messrs. Manheimer and Donlan vest and settle in shares of common stock in substantially equal annual installments on each of the
first three anniversaries of the grant date, generally subject to the executive’s continued employment through each vesting date. For a description of the
effect of a termination of employment on the vesting of RSUs, please see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”
Alignment of Interest Program
A summary description of the Alignment of Interest Program is included in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis above under the heading
“Executive Compensation Components — Alignment of Interest Program.” Pursuant to the Alignment of Interest Program, eligible individuals may elect
to receive RSUs under the Omnibus Plan in lieu of a specified percentage of cash compensation. The amount of compensation that a participant elects to
reduce will be applied to the issuance of an award of Alignment RSUs, and the participant will receive an award of Additional RSUs under the Omnibus
Plan based upon the Alignment Multiplier.
In 2025, Messrs. Manheimer and Donlan received 2024 Alignment RSUs in lieu of cash payment of 75% and 50% of their respective earned 2024 STI 
and 2024 Additional RSUs corresponding to the Alignment Multiplier (as reported in the “Stock Awards” column of the Summary Compensation Table
for 2024 and as shown in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table above). Messrs. Manheimer and Donlan also elected to receive 2025 Alignment RSUs
in 2026 in lieu of 50% and 25%, respectively, of their STI compensation payable with respect to the Company’s 2025 fiscal year (as reported in the “Non-
Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2025). The 2026 Additional RSUs will be reported in the “Stock
Awards” column for 2026 that will be included in the Company’s proxy statement relating to the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

(3)The amounts in this row represent accelerated vesting of PSUs, assuming target performance, valued based on the December 31, 2025 closing price of
a share of the Company’s common stock ($17.64). A description of the relevant agreements with the named executive officers is set forth below.

under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), as described below.
(5)Assuming a hypothetical termination on December 31, 2025, the amounts in this row represent the STI awards Messrs. Manheimer and Donlan actually
earned with respect to 2025. This amount has not been prorated because it assumes service through the full 2025 year.
Change in Control
The Employment Agreements do not provide for benefits solely upon the occurrence of a change in control. The vesting of the named executive officer’s
PSUs would accelerate immediately upon a change in control only if the Company was not the surviving company and the PSUs were not assumed by the
successor or replaced with economically equivalent awards, at the greater of (i) target or (ii) actual performance through the date of the change in control.
“Change in control” is as defined in the Omnibus Plan and generally means (i) during any period of 24 months, individuals who constitute the Board at
the beginning of the period (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, that a new director of
the Company whose election or nomination for election as a director of the Company was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent
Directors will be deemed to be an Incumbent Director, (ii) any person acquires beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities, subject to certain limitations set forth in
the Omnibus Plan, (iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving the
Company that requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction (a
“Business Combination”), unless following such Business Combination: (a) at least 50% of the total voting power in the election of directors, generally,
of (x) the surviving entity, or (y) if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of at least 95% of the
voting power in the election of directors, generally, of the surviving entity, is represented by Company voting securities that were outstanding
immediately prior to such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Company voting securities were converted or
exchanged pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting
power of such Company voting securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (b) no person is or becomes the
beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 50% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors of the parent, generally (or, if there is no parent, the surviving entity) and (c) at least 50% of the directors of the parent (or, if there is
no parent, the surviving entity) following the consummation of the Business Combination were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board’s approval
of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination, (iv) the consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets (other than to an affiliate of the Company), or (v) the Company’s stockholders approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of
the Company. A change in control shall not be deemed to have occurred solely by virtue of a decrease in shares outstanding due to the acquisition of
Company voting securities by the Company.
Termination for Cause or without Good Reason
Under the Employment Agreements, in the event of a termination by the Company for “cause,” a resignation without “good reason” or a non-renewal of
the employment term occurring on December 31, 2025, Messrs. Manheimer and Donlan would have been entitled only to: (i) accrued but unpaid base
salary through the date of termination, (ii) any vested benefits in accordance with the applicable Company arrangements, and (iii) unreimbursed business
expenses incurred prior to the date of termination.
Pursuant to the Employment Agreements, “cause” generally means the executive’s: (i) conviction of, or plea of guilty or no contest to, any felony or any
crime involving fraud or moral turpitude, (ii) commission of any acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or gross misconduct that causes material
financial or reputation harm to the company, (iii) commission of fraud, theft, embezzlement, self-dealing, misappropriation or other malfeasance against
the business of the Company, (iv) violation of any of the material terms of the Employment Agreements or any written Company policy, (v) breach of
fiduciary duty owed to the Company, (vi) failure to perform any material aspect of the executive’s lawful duties or responsibilities of employment or
failure to comply with any lawful directive of our Board or (vii) disqualification or bar by any governmental or self-regulatory authority from serving in
the capacity required by the executive’s job description, or loss of any governmental or self-regulatory license that is reasonably necessary for the
executive to perform his duties or responsibilities.
Pursuant to the Employment Agreements, “good reason” generally means the occurrence of one or more of the following, without written consent: (i) a
material reduction in the executive’s base salary, other than a reduction of no more than 10% in connection with a comparable decrease applicable to all
similarly situated senior executives of the Company, (ii) a material adverse diminution in duties, responsibilities or authority on behalf of the Company,
(iii) a requirement that the executive permanently relocate his primary place of employment more than 50 miles from the Dallas, Texas area, which
materially increases the commute to work, or (iv) any breach by the Company of a material term of the relevant employment agreement; provided, that no
good reason for termination shall exist unless (x) the executive has given the Company written notice detailing the specific circumstances alleged to
constitute good reason within 30 days after the first occurrence of such circumstances, (y) the Company has failed to cure such circumstances in all
material respects within 30 days following the receipt of such notice, and (z) his resignation of employment for good reason is effective within 30 days
following the end of the cure period.
Termination without Cause or for Good Reason (Non-Change in Control)
Pursuant to the Manheimer Employment Agreement, upon a termination of Mr. Manheimer’s employment by the Company without “cause” or by Mr.
Manheimer for “good reason” occurring on December 31, 2025, subject to a general release of claims in favor of the Company, Mr. Manheimer would
have been entitled to: (i) cash severance equal to two times the sum of his base salary and his target bonus opportunity, (ii) any earned but unpaid annual
bonus with respect to the year prior to the year of the termination, (iii) a pro rata bonus for the year of the termination (based on actual performance), (iv)
full acceleration of time-based equity awards and pro-rated vesting of performance-based equity awards, based on actual performance, and (v) Company
payment of the cost of continued health coverage for up to 18 months post-termination.
Pursuant to the Donlan Employment Agreement, upon a termination of Mr. Donlan’s employment by the Company without “cause” or by Mr. Donlan for
“good reason” occurring on December 31, 2025, subject to a general release of claims in favor of the Company, Mr. Donlan would have been entitled to:
(i) cash severance equal to the sum of his base salary and his target bonus opportunity; (ii) any earned but unpaid annual bonus with respect to the year
37 | 2026 PROXY STATEMENT
TABLE OF CONTENTS
prior to the year of the termination; (iii) a pro rata bonus for the year of the termination (based on actual performance); (iv) full acceleration of time-based
equity awards and pro-rated vesting of any performance-based equity awards, based on actual performance; and (v) Company payment of the cost of
continued health coverage for up to 18 months post-termination.
In addition, pursuant to the Employment Agreements, Messrs. Manheimer and Donlan will be subject to confidentiality and non-disparagement
provisions, which apply indefinitely, and non-competition as well as client and employee non solicitation provisions that apply during the term of the
employment agreement and for one year following a termination of his employment for any reason (other than in the event of a Qualifying CIC
Termination (as defined below) or a resignation for good reason).
Termination without Cause or for Good Reason (Change in Control)
Under the Employment Agreements, Messrs. Manheimer and Donlan would also have been entitled to the severance benefits (and would have been
subject to the restrictive covenants) described above for a termination without “cause” or a resignation for “good reason” that occurred at the time of or
within the 12 months following a change in control (a “Qualifying CIC Termination”); however, their cash severance would instead be equal to the sum of
three times (for Mr. Manheimer) or two times (for Mr. Donlan) the sum of the respective executive officer’s base salary and target bonus opportunity.
In addition, if a change in control had occurred, and named executive officer’s PSU awards were assumed or replaced with economically equivalent
awards, but within 24 months following such change in control and prior to the end of the performance period, named executive officer’s employment
was terminated without cause or for good reason, in lieu of pro-rated vesting of performance-based equity awards based on actual performance, the
executive would have been entitled to vesting of the PSUs at the greater of (x) target or (y) actual performance through the date of the termination.
Termination due to Death and Disability
Under the Employment Agreements, in the event of a termination due to his death or disability occurring on December 31, 2025, Messrs. Manheimer and
Donlan would have been entitled to: (i) a cash payment equal to two months’ base salary, (ii) any earned but unpaid annual bonus with respect to the year
prior to the year of the termination, (iii) a pro rata bonus for the year of the termination (based on actual performance), (iv) accelerated vesting of equity
awards as set forth above for a termination without cause, and (v) Company payment of the cost of continued health coverage for up to 18 months.
Compensation and Risk
Our Compensation Committee strives to provide strong incentives to management for the long-term, while avoiding excessive risk-taking in the short-
term. We have utilized FPC and Farient, each, an independent third party, to advise the Compensation Committee on matters related to the compensation
of our directors and executive officers. The Compensation Committee believes that the design of our compensation program and the level of oversight is
sufficient to mitigate potential risks associated with our current policies and practices. Our compensation program is designed to provide a mix of both
fixed and variable incentive compensation and to reward a mix of different performance measures.
In its review of the Company’s compensation program and practices in 2025, the Compensation Committee concluded that our compensation plans
provide incentives that appropriately balance risk and reward to dissuade unnecessary and excessive risk; are compatible with effective controls and risk
management; are supportive of strong governance, including active oversight by the Compensation Committee; and are not reasonably likely to have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
Pay Ratio
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing
the specified disclosure regarding the relationship of CEO total compensation to the total compensation of its median employee, referred to as “pay ratio”
disclosure.
For fiscal 2025:
the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of the Company (other than the CEO) was $126,500; and
the annual total compensation of the CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement, was $5,165,527.
Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of the CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was
approximately 41 to 1.
The pay ratio above represents the Company’s reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K and applicable
guidance, based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described below. The SEC rules for identifying the “median employee” and
calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain
exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratios reported by other
companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio set forth above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and
may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.
Set forth below is a description of the methodology the Company used to identify the median employee for purposes of this disclosure.
To determine the Company’s total population of employees as of October 1, 2025, the Company included all full-time, part-time, seasonal and
temporary employees, including employees of consolidated subsidiaries, consisting of approximately 29 employees in the aggregate. None of the
Company’s employees are located outside of the U.S.
To identify the “median employee” from the Company’s employee population as determined above, the Company compared the aggregate
amount of each employee’s annual base salary and cash bonus. In making this determination, the Company annualized the compensation of
employees who were employed by the Company for less than the entire fiscal year. This compensation measure was consistently applied to all
employees included in the calculation and reasonably reflects the annual compensation of employees.
Using this approach, the Company selected the employee at the median of its employee population, who was a salaried employee.
38 | 2026 PROXY STATEMENT
TABLE OF CONTENTS
The Company then calculated annual total compensation for this employee using the same methodology used to calculate annual total compensation for
the named executive officers as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table. The Company determined that the employee’s annual total compensation
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 was $126,500. With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the
“Total” column of our Summary Compensation Table for 2025 included in this Proxy Statement.
Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards
The Company has never granted stock options, stock appreciation rights, or similar instruments with option-like features and has no policies or practices
to disclose pursuant to Item 402(x)(1) of Regulation S-K.
Pay Versus Performance
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing
the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and certain financial and other performance measures of
the Company. For further information concerning the Company’s variable pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive
compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above. Our Chief Executive Officer is our
principal executive officer, which we refer to as “PEO” in the tables below. The named executive officers are referred to as “NEOs” in the tables below.

award adjustments are as follows:

Performance Measures
As described in greater detail above in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable
pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that the Company uses for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an
objective of incentivizing our named executive officers to increase the value of our enterprise for our stockholders. The list below sets forth the most
important financial and other performance measures used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the
most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance. AFFO per diluted share, percentage of portfolio that is investment grade and
investment grade profile, leverage, and tenant concentration are used as performance measures for the 2025 STI program (each as described above under
“Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Short-Term Incentive Program) while absolute TSR and relative TSR are used as performance measures (each
as described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Long-Term Incentive Program) for the 2025 LTI program.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing, compensating, retaining, and overseeing the work of our independent registered public accounting
firm and reviewing and evaluating reporting processes and internal controls. The Audit Committee also oversees the audit fee negotiations associated with
the retention of KPMG LLP.
The Audit Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Christodolou (Chair) and Troxell and Ms. Wittman, each a non-employee director, and operates
under a written charter that was last amended by our Board in October 2024. A copy of the current charter is available on our website at
www.NETSTREIT.com. The information on, or otherwise accessible through, our website does not constitute a part of this Proxy Statement. Our Board
has affirmatively determined that all directors serving on the Audit Committee meet the definition of “independent director” based on the standards of the
NYSE and satisfy the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Our Board has also determined that (i) each member of the Audit
Committee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under SEC rules and regulations and (ii) each member of the Audit Committee is
“financially literate” as the term is defined by NYSE listing standards.
The Audit Committee members are neither professional accountants nor auditors, and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the
activities of management or the independent auditor, nor can the Audit Committee certify that the independent auditor is “independent” under applicable
rules. The Audit Committee serves a board-level oversight role in which it provides advice, counsel, and direction to management and the auditors on the
basis of the information it receives, discussions with management and the auditors, and the experience of the Audit Committee’s members in business,
financial, and accounting matters. Our management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and reporting process, including our
systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited
consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as well as the report of
management, for the year ended December 31, 2025, regarding the Company’s internal control over financial reporting required by Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Our Audit Committee has retained KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025. KPMG LLP
has been the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company since 2019. The members of the Audit Committee and the Board believe that
the continued retention of KPMG LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Company
and its stockholders. In reaching this conclusion, the Audit Committee considered KPMG LLP’s integrity, controls, and processes to ensure KPMG LLP’s
independence, objectivity, industry and company-specific experience, quality and effectiveness of personnel and communications, commitment to serving
the Company, appropriateness of fees for audit and non-audit services, and external data on audit quality and performance, including recent Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) reports on KPMG LLP.
The Audit Committee has discussed with the KPMG LLP the overall scope and plans of its audit. The Audit Committee meets with KPMG LLP, with and
without management present, to discuss the results of KPMG LLP’s procedures, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls, including internal
control over financial reporting, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.
The Audit Committee reviewed with KPMG LLP its judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting policies and such
other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee by the Standards of the PCAOB. The Audit Committee has also received written
disclosures and the letter from KPMG LLP required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding KPMG LLP’s communications with the Audit
Committee concerning independence and has discussed with KPMG LLP its independence from the Company. The Audit Committee has considered
whether the provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with maintaining the independence of KPMG LLP.
Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2025 be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for filing with the SEC.

(2)Tax fees consist of fees for professional services rendered by KPMG LLP for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.
Our Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy provides that the Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work
of our independent auditor and must pre-approve all audit, audit-related, tax, and non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, other
than certain de minimis non-audit services. In connection with our IPO, the Audit Committee adopted the Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy, a policy
pursuant to which it pre-approves all services to be provided by and fees to be paid to our independent auditor. In its review of these services and related
fees and terms, the Audit Committee considers, among other things, the possible effect of the performance of such services on the independence of our
independent registered public accounting firm.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Our Board has adopted a written policy regarding transactions with related parties, which we refer to as our “related party transaction policy.” Our related
party transaction policy requires that a “related person” (as defined in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K) must promptly disclose all transactions with related
parties (as described in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K) to Chief Financial Officer or his designee. All related party transactions must be approved or
ratified by the Audit Committee. As a general rule, directors interested in a related party transaction will recuse themselves from any vote on a related
party transaction in which they have an interest. The Audit Committee will consider all relevant facts and circumstances when deliberating such
transactions, including whether such transactions are in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company.

RATIFICATION OF RETENTION OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
(PROPOSAL NO. 2)
Our Audit Committee has retained KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026. A proposal
will be presented at the Annual Meeting to ratify this retention. If the stockholders fail to ratify such retention, another independent registered public
accounting firm will be considered by our Audit Committee, but the Audit Committee may nonetheless choose to engage KPMG LLP. Even if the
retention of KPMG LLP is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time
during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. We have been advised that a
representative of KPMG LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting and will be available to respond to appropriate questions and, if such person chooses
to do so, make a statement.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL NO. 2.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION
(PROPOSAL NO. 3)
The Board recognizes the interests our investors have in the compensation of our named executive officers. In recognition of that interest and as required
by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are providing our
stockholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy
Statement in accordance with SEC rules. As most recently approved by stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2022, and consistent with
the Board’s recommendation, we are submitting this proposal for a non-binding vote on an annual basis.
This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive
officers’ compensation as a whole. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our
named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. The compensation of our named executive officers
subject to the vote is disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and the related narrative disclosure contained in
this Proxy Statement. As discussed in those disclosures, we believe that our compensation policies and decisions are based on principles that reflect a
“pay-for-performance” philosophy and are strongly aligned with our stockholders’ interests and consistent with current market practices. Compensation of
our named executive officers is designed to enable us to attract and retain talented and experienced executives to lead us successfully in a competitive
environment.
Accordingly, the Board is asking our stockholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this
Proxy Statement by casting a non-binding advisory vote “FOR” the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-
K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”
Because the vote is advisory, the result will not be binding on the Board or Compensation Committee. Nevertheless, the views expressed by our
stockholders, whether through this say-on-pay vote or otherwise, are important to management and the Board and, accordingly, the Board and the
Compensation Committee intend to consider the results of this vote in making determinations in the future regarding executive compensation
arrangements.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL NO. 3.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Your proxy will be voted in accordance with your instructions, so long as, in the case of a proxy card returned by mail, such card has been signed and
dated. If you vote your shares via the Internet, by telephone or by executing and returning a proxy card by mail but you do not provide specific
instructions with respect to the proposals, your shares will be voted FOR the director nominees named in this Proxy Statement, FOR the ratification of the
retention of our independent registered public accounting firm, and FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named
executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we do not know of any matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting except those described in this Proxy
Statement. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, however, the persons named as proxies will be authorized to vote or otherwise
act in accordance with their judgment.
What does it mean if I receive more than one notice of internet availability of proxy materials?
You may receive more than one notice of internet availability of proxy materials, more than one e-mail or multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards.
For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you may receive a separate notice of internet availability of proxy materials, a
separate e-mail or a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a stockholder of record and your
shares are registered in more than one name, you may receive more than one notice of internet availability of proxy materials, more than one e-mail or
more than one proxy card. To vote all of your shares by proxy, you must complete, sign, date, and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that
you receive and vote over the Internet the shares represented by each notice of internet availability of proxy materials that you receive (unless you have
requested and received a proxy card or voting instruction card for the shares represented by one or more of those notices).
May I change my vote?
Yes. You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting. To change your vote, if you are a stockholder of record, you may
submit another later dated proxy by telephone, Internet, or mail or by voting your shares electronically on the virtual meeting platform at the Annual
Meeting (your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy; you must vote in person at the Annual Meeting to revoke your
proxy). If you are a beneficial owner and your shares are held in street name, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your
bank, broker, trustee, or nominee, or if you have obtained a legal proxy from such entity giving you the right to vote your shares, you may change your
vote by attending the Annual Meeting and voting electronically on the virtual meeting platform.
What vote is required to elect directors and approve the other matters described in this Proxy Statement?
The following chart describes the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting, the vote required to elect directors and to adopt each other proposal,
and the manner in which votes will be counted. Broker non-votes and abstentions are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

*In an uncontested election, our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that any incumbent director that fails to receive the number of votes required
for re-election shall immediately tender his or her resignation. Our Board, in a process managed by the Nominating Committee and following a
recommendation by that committee, must decide whether or not to accept the tendered resignation.
**Because this vote is advisory only, it will not be binding on us or on our Board. However, our Board and Compensation Committee will consider the
outcome of the vote when making future decisions regarding executive compensation.
What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
If your shares are registered in your name on the Company’s books and records or with our transfer agent, you are the “stockholder of record” of those
shares, and this Proxy Statement and accompanying materials have been provided directly to you by the Company. On the other hand, if you purchased
your shares through a brokerage or other financial intermediary, the brokerage or other financial intermediary will automatically put your shares into
“street name”, which means that the brokerage or other financial intermediary will hold your shares in its name or another nominee’s name, and not in
your name, but will keep records showing you as the “beneficial owner.” If you hold shares beneficially in street name, this Proxy Statement and
accompanying materials have been forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other holder of record.
How do I vote if my bank or broker holds my shares in “street name”?
If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, such bank, broker or nominee will vote those shares in accordance with
your instructions. To so instruct your bank, broker or nominee, you should refer to the information provided to you by such entity. Without instructions
from you, a bank, broker or nominee will be permitted to exercise its own voting discretion with respect to so-called routine matters (Proposal No. 2
50 | 2026 PROXY STATEMENT
TABLE OF CONTENTS
(ratification of auditors)), but will not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to non-routine matters (Proposal No. 1 (director elections),
and Proposal No. 3 (advisory vote on executive compensation)). Thus, if you do not give your bank, broker or nominee specific instructions with respect
to Proposal No. 2, your shares will be voted in such entity’s discretion. If you do not give your bank, broker or nominee specific instructions with respect
to Proposals No. 1 and 3, your shares will not be voted on such proposals. This is called a “broker non-vote.” Shares represented by such broker non-votes
will be counted in determining whether there is a quorum but will have no effect on the non-routine proposals. We urge you to promptly provide your
bank, broker or nominee with appropriate voting instructions so that all your shares may be voted at the Annual Meeting.
How many votes do I have?
Each share of common stock that you hold as of the record date entitles you to one vote, without cumulation, on each matter to be voted upon at the
Annual Meeting.
How will the votes be counted at the Annual Meeting?
The votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting.
How will the Company announce the voting results?
The Company will report the final results of the voting at the Annual Meeting in a filing with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Who pays for the Company’s solicitation of proxies?
The Board is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares of common stock at our Annual Meeting. We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies on behalf of
the Company, including preparing, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement. Proxies may be solicited personally, by mail, email, or by telephone by
certain of our directors, officers, employees, or representatives. Our directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting
proxies. We will reimburse brokerage houses, banks, custodians, and other nominees and fiduciaries for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding
our proxy solicitation materials.
What is “householding” and how does it work?
Under the rules adopted by the SEC, we may deliver a single set of proxy materials to one address shared by two or more of our stockholders. This
delivery method is referred to as “householding” and can result in significant cost savings. To take advantage of this opportunity, we have delivered only
one set of proxy materials to multiple stockholders who share an address, unless we received contrary instructions from the impacted stockholders prior to
the mailing date. We agree to deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the proxy materials, as requested, to any stockholder at the
shared address to which a single copy of these documents was delivered. If you prefer to receive separate copies of the notice of internet availability of
proxy materials, Proxy Statement or annual report, contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. by calling 1-866-540-7095 or in writing at Broadridge,
Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717.
In addition, if you currently are a stockholder who shares an address with another stockholder and would like to receive only one copy of future notices
and proxy materials for your household, you may notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or you may notify us if you hold
registered shares. Registered stockholders may notify us by contacting Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. at the above telephone number or address or
sending a written request to NETSTREIT Corp., 2021 McKinney Avenue, Suite 1150, Dallas, Texas 75201, Attention: Investor Relations.

APPENDIX A – RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP
FINANCIAL MEASURES
The proxy statement contains non-GAAP financial measures under the captions “2026 Proxy Statement Summary,” “Compensation Discussion and
Analysis” and “Pay Versus Performance,” including core funds from operations (“Core FFO”) per diluted share and adjusted funds from operations
(“AFFO”) per diluted share. See below for definitions of each non-GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation to net income, the most comparable
GAAP measure.
FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has promulgated a widely accepted non-GAAP financial
measure of operating performance known as FFO. Our FFO is net income in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) resulting from
dispositions of properties, plus depreciation and amortization and impairment charges on depreciable real property.
Core FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as FFO adjusted to remove the effect of unusual and non-recurring items that are not expected to
impact our operating performance or operations on an ongoing basis. These include non-recurring executive transition costs, severance and related
charges, other non-recurring losses (gains), and debt related transaction costs.
AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as Core FFO adjusted for GAAP net income related to non-cash revenues and expenses, such as straight-
line rent, amortization of above- and below-market lease-related intangibles, amortization of lease incentives, capitalized interest expense and earned
development interest, non-cash interest expense, non-cash compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of above/below-
market assumed debt, and amortization of loan origination costs.
Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. In fact, real estate
values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions. FFO is intended to be a standard supplemental measure of operating performance that
excludes historical cost depreciation and valuation adjustments from net income. We consider FFO to be useful in evaluating potential property
acquisitions and measuring operating performance.
We further consider FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO to be useful in determining funds available for payment of distributions. FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO do
not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. You should not consider FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO to be alternatives to net
income as a reliable measure of our operating performance nor should you consider FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO to be alternatives to cash flows from
operating, investing, or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity.
FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund our cash needs, including debt service obligations, capital
improvements, and distributions to stockholders. FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities
as defined by GAAP. Further, FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO as disclosed by other REITs might not be comparable to our calculations of FFO, Core FFO,
and AFFO.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO for the year ended December 31, 2025 to net income before allocation to
noncontrolling interests, as computed in accordance with GAAP (in thousands):
