Item 2.02.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

Following the retirement of Joel Braun, the Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer of Acadia Realty Trust (the “Company”), as further described in Item 5.02 below, the Company anticipates recognizing an aggregate charge to net income and funds from operations of approximately $2.0 million (approximately $0.03 per share) during the fourth quarter of 2018, the majority of which relates to the acceleration of vesting of certain previously granted stock-based compensation awards. However, all previously unvested performance-based awards will continue to remain subject to their vesting requirements. This charge was not incorporated into the Company’s previously-provided earnings guidance for the year ending December 31, 2018.

 

Item 5.02.Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On December 28, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing the retirement of Joel Braun, the Company's prior Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, effective December 31, 2018. Mr. Braun has been with the Company since its inception in 1998 and has successfully transitioned his responsibilities to several individuals within the organization. Mr. Braun and the Company anticipate entering into consulting arrangements to assist with general matters, as may be requested by the Company from time to time.
