ITEM 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Americold Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock is listed on the NYSE under the trading symbol “COLD”. Our common stock has been publicly traded since January 19, 2018. On February 24, 2026 , we had approximately 284,879,678 shares of common stock outstanding. The number of holders of record of our common stock on February 24, 2026 was 14. This figure does not represent the actual number of beneficial owners of our common stock because our common stock is frequently held in “street name” by securities dealers and others for the benefit of beneficial owners who may vote the shares. Our future common stock dividends, if and as declared, may vary and will be determined by our Board of Directors upon the circumstances prevailing at the time, including our financial condition, operating results, estimated taxable income and REIT distribution requirements.
Subject to the distribution requirements applicable to REITs under the Code, we intend, to the extent practicable, to invest substantially all of the proceeds from sales and refinancing of our assets in real estate-related assets and other assets. We may, however, under certain circumstances, make a dividend of capital or of assets. Such dividends, if any, will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors.
