WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 6, 2014--
Acadia Realty Trust (NYSE: AKR), today announced a 4.3% increase in the
Company’s dividend for the quarter ending December 31, 2014. Acadia’s
Board of Trustees has declared a cash dividend of $0.24 per Common Share
payable on January 15, 2015 to holders of record as of December 31,
2014. This compares with a $0.23 dividend per Common Share paid for the
quarter ended September 30, 2014.
In addition, during December 2014, the Company currently expects that
its Board of Trustees will declare a special dividend to be paid in cash
prior to January 31, 2015. The amount of this dividend will be based on
realized gains from completed sales and may include anticipated gains
from pending transactions that may close prior to December 31, 2014.
Given that this is subject to future events, there can be no assurance
as to whether the Board of Trustees will declare the special dividend.
