Explanatory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K of AH Realty Trust, Inc. (f/k/a Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc.) (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 24, 2025, which described the approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company of (i) the appointment (the “Appointment”) of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 and (ii) the dismissal (the “Dismissal”) of Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. 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 year ending December 31, 2025 on February 27, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), and the Company is filing this Amendment to provide the specific date of KPMG’s engagement and updates to the disclosures required by Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K through the Effective Date.
Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On February 27, 2026, the Company appointed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. In addition, on February 27, 2026, the Company dismissed EY as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company.
EY’s reports on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. In addition, during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, as well as during the subsequent interim period preceding the Effective Date, there were no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) between the Company and EY with respect to any matter relating to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of EY, would have caused EY to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its reports on the Company’s financial statements with respect to such periods.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, as well as during the subsequent interim period preceding the Effective Date, there were no “reportable events” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions).
The Company has provided EY with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that EY provide the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not EY agrees with the above disclosures. A copy of EY’s letter dated March 5, 2026 is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, the Company did not consult with KPMG regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.
