Armada Hoffler Properties Adopts Proxy Access Bylaw Amendment

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Feb. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (NYSE: AHH) today announced that its Board of Directors has reaffirmed the Company’s commitment to leadership in corporate governance practices by adopting an amendment to the Company’s bylaws to implement a “proxy access” provision.

Proxy access rights will first be available to stockholders in connection with the Company’s 2022 annual meeting.

Louis Haddad, President & CEO noted, “Our Board of Directors regularly reviews our corporate governance policies and believes this change is consistent with our objective of maintaining best-in-class governance and delivering value to our stockholders.”
