Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 28, 2024, Acadia Realty Trust (the "Company") and Acadia Realty Limited Partnership, the operating partnership of the Company (the "Operating Partnership"), entered into an ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with BofA Securities, Inc., Barclays Capital Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Jefferies LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC, Truist Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as sales agents and forward sellers (the "Sales Agents"), and Bank of America, N.A., Barclays Bank PLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Jefferies LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, The Toronto-Dominion Bank, Truist Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or one of their respective affiliates, as forward purchasers (the "Forward Purchasers"), to sell, from time to time, common shares of beneficial interest of the Company, par value $0.001 per share, having an aggregate sale price of up to $400,000,000 (the "Shares") through an at-the-market equity offering program. The Shares will be issued under the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3 ASR (File No. 333-275356), as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated October 28, 2024 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 28, 2024.

Sales of Shares, if any, made through the Sales Agents, acting as sales agents, or through the Forward Sellers, acting as agents for the applicable Forward Purchasers, or through a Sales Agent, acting as principal, may be made by means of ordinary brokers' transactions on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") or other national securities exchange, or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or negotiated transactions, which may include block transactions, or as otherwise agreed with the applicable Sales Agent or Forward Seller.

Additionally, the Company may enter into one or more forward sale agreements with one or more of the Forward Purchasers. In connection with any forward sale agreement, the relevant Forward Seller will, at the Company's request, use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices for similar transactions and applicable laws and regulations, to borrow from third parties and sell a number of common shares equal to the number of Shares underlying the particular forward sale agreement.

The Sales Agreement provides that each Sales Agent will be entitled to compensation of up to 2.0% of the gross sales price of the Shares sold through such Sales Agent. The Sales Agreement also provides that a forward seller will be entitled to commissions at a mutually agreed rate that will not exceed 2.0% of the gross sales price of all borrowed common shares sold during the applicable forward hedge selling period by the applicable forward seller, which commissions will be in the form of a reduced initial forward sale price under the related forward sale agreement with the related Forward Purchaser. The Company may also sell Shares to a Sales Agent as principal for its own account, at a price and discount to be agreed upon at the time of sale pursuant to a separate terms agreement.

The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares under the Sales Agreement and may at any time suspend solicitation and offers under the Sales Agreement.

The Company will contribute the net proceeds from the offering to the Operating Partnership, which intends to use such net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include funding future acquisitions, the repayment of outstanding indebtedness, working capital and other general corporate purposes. Such decisions will depend upon various factors, including market conditions and strategic considerations. Pending such usage, the Operating Partnership expects to invest the net proceeds in short-term instruments.

Although the Company expects to physically settle any forward sale agreement into which it enters (by the delivery of Shares) and receive proceeds from the sale of such Shares upon one or more forward settlement dates no later than a date that is up to two years from entry into the applicable forward sale agreement, the Company may also elect to cash settle or net share settle all or a portion of its obligations under any forward sale agreement. If the Company elects to cash settle any forward sale agreement, it may not receive any proceeds, and may owe cash to the relevant Forward Purchaser in certain circumstances. If the Company elects to net share settle any forward sale agreement, it will not receive any proceeds and may owe Shares to the relevant Forward Purchaser in certain circumstances. Any forward sale agreement is subject to early termination or settlement under certain circumstances.
