Analysis · AAT · Real Estate & Construction
Ernest Rady has now spent $14.8 million buying AAT shares since late May, pushing his beneficial ownership to 38.0% of the company. The 13D/A also reveals a Voting Agreement dated May 11, 2026 that caps his voting discretion at 19.9% and grants a board exemption to the 21.9% ownership limit — meaning his accumulation is structured to stay within governance guardrails while he continues buying.
