Insights
Eagle Point-managed funds reported modest net sales of ACR preferred shares while retaining substantial indirect positions.
Private funds and accounts managed by Eagle Point Credit Management reported net sales of 6,228 preferred shares of ACRES Commercial Realty, split between 8.625% Series C and 7.875% Series D issues. All positions are reported as indirect, with the securities held by underlying funds and accounts.
Following the transactions, the accounts still hold large preferred stakes of 344,106 Series C and 737,097 Series D shares, plus 1,177,060 common shares. The reporting entities explicitly disclaim beneficial ownership under Rule 16a-1(a)(4), so these trades reflect activity at the fund/account level rather than personal insider portfolio moves.
The weighted-average pricing disclosure for the Series C sale, with trades between $25.44 and $25.52, indicates execution across multiple small transactions rather than a single block. Overall, this looks like routine portfolio rebalancing by a 10% owner’s managed accounts rather than a transformative change in ownership.
