Organization | Note 1 – Organization Agree Realty Corporation (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, is a fully integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) primarily focused on the ownership, acquisition, development and management of retail properties net leased to industry leading tenants. The Company was founded in 1971 by its current Executive Chairman, Richard Agree, and its common stock was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1994. The Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, directly or indirectly, Agree Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), of which Agree Realty Corporation is the sole general partner and in which it held a 99.7% common equity interest as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. There is a one-for-one relationship between the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“Operating Partnership Common Units”) owned by the Company and shares of Company common stock outstanding. The Company also owns 100% of the Series A preferred equity interest in the Operating Partnership. This preferred equity interest corresponds on a one-for-one basis to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (Refer to Note 6 – Common and Preferred Stock), providing income and distributions to the Company equal to the dividends payable on that stock. The non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership consisted of a 0.3% common ownership interest in the Operating Partnership held by the Company’s founder and Executive Chairman as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Operating Partnership Common Units may, under certain circumstances, be exchanged for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis. The Company, as sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, has the option to settle exchanged Operating Partnership Common Units held by others for cash based on the current trading price of its shares. Assuming the exchange of all non-controlling Operating Partnership Common Units, there would have been 111,013,857 shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Company owned 2,513 properties, with a total gross leasable area (“GLA”) of approximately 52.0 million square feet. The terms the “Company,” “Management,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Agree Realty Corporation and all of its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership. |
