A review of recent SEC filings reveals specific activity from director Greg Lehmkuhl concerning his holdings in Agree Realty Corp (ADC). On May 14, 2026, Mr. Lehmkuhl executed a direct purchase of company stock and simultaneously received grants of restricted stock units (RSUs).
The REIT, which manages an estimated $8.95 billion in retail assets, is currently trading at $74.46, positioning it near the midpoint of its 52-week price range. Mr. Lehmkuhl’s direct acquisition involved purchasing 750 common shares at a cost of $75.09 per share, totaling $56,317.
Analysis of Restricted Stock Unit Grants
In addition to the open market purchase, Mr. Lehmkuhl received two separate grants of restricted stock units on the same date. The first grant comprised 2,159 common shares with a transaction price listed at $0.0 per share. The second RSU grant was for another 2,159 common shares, which carried an associated price of $75.28 per share.
The total value attributed to these two RSU grants amounts to $162,529. These units reflect a range of transaction prices, spanning from $0.0 to $75.28. Crucially, these RSUs represent a contingent right for Mr. Lehmkuhl to receive one common share for every unit granted, with vesting scheduled for May 14, 2027.
A notable detail regarding the first grant is that Mr. Lehmkuhl voluntarily opted to defer receiving these shares until he departs from his role on the Board of Directors. The second RSU grant specifically reflects his election to receive a portion of his annual director’s fee in the form of RSUs rather than standard cash compensation.
