Ares Real Estate Income Trust Inc. is asking stockholders to vote at its June 24, 2026 annual meeting in Denver on electing seven directors and ratifying KPMG LLP as independent auditor for the 2026 fiscal year.
The record date is April 8, 2026, when approximately 189,571,904 common shares were outstanding, each with one vote. The board currently has seven members, a majority of whom are considered independent under NYSE-style standards, and operates Audit, Conflicts Resolution, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees.
Independent directors receive a $90,000 annual cash retainer plus committee fees and an annual $75,000 restricted stock unit award that vests at term completion. Executive officers are employed and compensated by the external advisor under an advisory agreement whose fees include a 1.10% fixed component on net asset value and a performance-based component tied to annual total return, subject to a 5.0% hurdle and loss carryforward mechanism.
