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.

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.
