ACADIA REALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES PENDING PERSONNEL CHANGE
RYE, NY (November 10, 2015) - Acadia Realty Trust (NYSE: AKR) (“Acadia” or the “Company”) announced today that Jon Grisham, the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, plans to retire next year in calendar 2016 to launch the next phase of his life.
After a successful career spanning 36 years, including service in the United States Navy, public accounting and the last 22 years at Acadia, Mr. Grisham’s early announcement of his retirement plan provides Acadia with an extended time period to ensure an orderly transition. As part of this planned transition, Mr. Grisham will remain as CFO and play an integral part in the search process, which will include both internal and external candidates, until the appointment of his successor, and thereafter will assist the Company with the transition and other matters.
“Jon is one of the original "pioneers" of Acadia Realty Trust having been with the Company since its inception. He has played an integral role over Acadia’s first twenty years. He has been instrumental in shaping our long-term financial strategy and helping us deliver significant value for our shareholders. I have valued his thoughtful guidance, perspective and wisdom. We are fortunate that Jon has built a strong, deep accounting and finance team, and I am confident in the team’s ability to continue its excellent work during this transition period. We wish Jon and his wife Jo all the best in the next phase of their lives." said Kenneth F. Bernstein, President and Chief Executive Officer of Acadia Realty Trust.
Mr. Grisham commented, “While I am looking forward to enjoying more time and new adventures with my wife and sons, I am also grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of the growth of a truly extraordinary company. I am proud of the shareholder value that we have created, the strategic acquisitions we have made, and the sound financial footing of the firm. We have accomplished all this as a team, and I have a deep appreciation for my colleagues, our tenants, our Board and our shareholders. I believe Acadia is well positioned for continued success, and the timing is right for me to start the next chapter of life. To be clear - This is not about me leaving to do something else with a competitor or working anywhere for that matter. If I entertained any thought of continuing to work, it would only be at this remarkable organization with Ken and my team. I will remain a loyal shareholder and participate in what I know will prove to be a very bright future for the Company. In the interim, I look forward to supporting a seamless transition next year and then turning my focus toward my family and other life goals.”
