Kondra Cheryl reported acquisition or exercise transactions in this Form 4 filing.
Accel Entertainment director Cheryl Kondra reported receiving restricted stock units as equity compensation. On March 19, 2026, she was granted 13,914 RSUs and 9,498 RSUs, each representing a contingent right to receive one share of Class A‑1 Common Stock for no cash consideration.
All of these RSUs are scheduled to vest on December 31, 2026, provided she continues serving the company through that date. A portion of the grant represents her election to defer her annual cash retainer and chair or committee fees into RSUs instead of cash.
Accel Entertainment CEO and President Andrew H. Rubenstein sold 3,938 shares of Class A-1 common stock in an open-market transaction at a weighted average price of about $11.23 per share. After this sale, he directly holds 3,956,368 shares.
Accel Entertainment is asking stockholders to vote at its virtual 2026 annual meeting on May 7, 2026. Investors will elect six directors for one-year terms, including new nominee Bruce D. Wardinski, approve on an advisory basis executive pay, and ratify Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent auditor for 2026.
The board highlights a leadership transition in which founder Andrew Rubenstein became chairman in February 2026 and will move from chief executive officer to an advisor role in August 2026, with Mark Phelan succeeding him as chief executive officer and president. The proxy outlines governance structure, board independence, committee responsibilities, and director compensation, including equity-based awards.
The filing also reviews 2025 performance, noting record total revenue of $1.3 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $210.1 million, plus capital returns of $183.4 million through share repurchases. It explains a pay-for-performance philosophy that ties most executive compensation to financial metrics such as Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share, along with individual goals.
Accel Entertainment COO Mark T. Phelan exercised restricted stock units tied to performance-based and time-based awards, receiving a total of 57,686 shares of Class A-1 Common Stock on March 14 and 15. To cover tax liabilities, 16,904 shares were automatically withheld at a reference price of $11.29 per share, leaving him with 266,464 shares owned directly after these transactions.
The RSUs stem from long-term incentive grants, including a three-year performance stock unit award for the period ended December 31, 2025, and prior time-vested grants that vest over multi-year schedules, reflecting compensation rather than open-market trading.
Accel Entertainment CEO and President Andrew H. Rubenstein reported a mix of equity award settlements, tax withholdings, a gift, and a modest share sale.

To cover tax obligations, the issuer withheld 70,080 shares at prices referenced at $11.29 per share. On March 16, Rubenstein made an open-market sale of 36,062 shares at a weighted average price of $11.2149 per share, with individual trades ranging from $11.13 to $11.39, and also completed a bona fide gift of 7,125 shares.
