KPMG Appointed AH Realty Trust’s Independent Auditor Effective Feb. 27, 2026

KPMG LLP was appointed as AH Realty Trust, Inc.’s new independent registered public accounting firm effective February 27, 2026, the company disclosed in an amended Current Report on Form 8‑K (Form 8‑K/A). The filing identifies the registrant as AH Realty Trust, Inc., formerly Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc., and indicates the 8‑K/A amends a prior Current Report on Form 8‑K.

The Form 8‑K/A language preserved in the company excerpt reads in part: “AH Realty Trust, Inc. (formerly Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc.) filed an amended Form 8‑K (8‑K/A) indicating that, effective February 27, 2026, KPMG LLP was appointed as the company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year endi” — the sentence truncates at the word “endi” and does not complete the fiscal year reference in the available text.

A separate filing fragment explicitly ties the auditor change to an amended annual report. The filing text states: “The Appointment and the Dismissal took effect following the filing of Amendment No. 1 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal” — that clause also ends midstream and does not identify the fiscal year or name any predecessor auditor in the excerpted language provided. The available disclosures therefore confirm both an appointment and a dismissal took effect around the same procedural amendment to the company’s Form 10‑K, while leaving the scope and predecessor unnamed in the preserved text.

AH Realty Trust’s auditor change comes amid other corporate moves in the same window. The company held a Q4 2025 earnings call on February 17, 2026 that included highlights described as “Strategic Rebranding and ...” and showed a listed adjacent figure of -7.98%. Subsequent company announcements in early March 2026 included a March 3 lease with Abercrombie & Fitch at Town Center of Virginia Beach and a March 5 quarterly dividend announcement, and the company used the AH Realty Trust and Previously Armada Hoffler name variants in its public notices.

Key details remain to be confirmed in the full filings. The complete Form 8‑K/A and Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10‑K should be reviewed to determine whether the auditor appointment covers a specific fiscal year, whether the dismissed auditor is named, whether any reportable events or disagreements are disclosed, and the official filing dates and signatures. For now, the company’s amended Form 8‑K registers KPMG LLP as AH Realty Trust’s independent auditor effective February 27, 2026, coinciding with the firm’s rebranding and a string of operational disclosures in late February and early March 2026.
