        <footnote id="F1">On January 15, 2007 (Grant Date), Mr. Bernstein was awarded the right to receive these common shares of beneficial interest (Restricted Shares).  These unvested Restricted Shares will vest and be issued subject to the following schedule:  50% time vesting in four equal parts commencing on January 6, 2008 and on each anniversary thereof; 50% time and benchmark vesting in four equal parts commencing on January 6, 2008 and on each anniversary thereof.  The dividend will not be paid until the Restricted Shares have vested but there will be a catch-up payment upon vesting from the Grant Date to the applicable vesting date.  No voting until vesting.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">On January 15, 2007 (Grant Date), Mr. Bernstein was awarded these common shares of beneficial interest (Restricted Shares).  These unvested Restricted Shares will vest on time vesting only subject to the following schedule: 30% on January 6, 2008 and 35% each on January 6, 2009 and January 6, 2010.  These Restricted Shares carry dividend and voting rights prior to vesting.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">On January 15, 2007 (Grant Date), Mr. Bernstein was awarded these restricted limited partnership units in Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (LTIP Units) which vest in the same manner as Restricted Shares under footnote No. 1.  Distributions will be payable currently and, after vesting and the revaluation (Book Up) of the book capital accounts of the holders of all of the common limited partnership units in Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (Common OP Units) will be exchangeable on a 1:1 basis for Common OP Units which, in turn, are exchangeable on a 1:1 basis for common shares of beneficial interest.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">This number represents (i) 405,900 Options to acquire common shares; (ii) 331,255 Common OP Units (this number was removed from the total number of non-derivative securities reflected in Table I of the Form 4 filed for Mr. Bernstein on January 8, 2007) and (iii) the newly acquired 9,136 LTIP Units.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">This total includes (i) 129,110 deferred shares (per the retirement plan), (ii) 84,306 vested Restricted Shares and (iii) 281,938 unvested Restricted Shares issued to Mr. Bernstein through January 15, 2007.</footnote>
