Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Americold Realty Trust director Joseph E. Reece received a grant of 12,422 Operating Partnership Profits Units. These derivative units were awarded at a price of $0.00 per unit and are tied to an equal number of underlying shares of common stock.

These conversion and redemption rights have no expiration dates.

A common unit is a single piece of ownership in a company, fund, or trust—similar to an ordinary share but often used for pooled vehicles or listings where securities are packaged or governed differently. It matters to investors because each unit represents a claim on profits and, commonly, voting power; like holding a seat at a table, the number of units you own affects your share of returns and influence, and unit structures can also affect liquidity and tax treatment.
