COMPSON HOLDING CORPORATION’S
UNSOLICITED ACQUISITION PROPOSAL
FARMINGTON HILLS, Michigan (October 21, 2008) — Agree Realty Corporation (NYSE: ADC) today announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously rejected an unsolicited acquisition proposal from Compson Holding Corporation to acquire the Company. The Board determined that the Compson proposal was inadequate and that continuing to implement the Company’s long-term business plan would maximize stockholder value. The Board therefore concluded that the Compson offer was not in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. The Board further noted that they would not be pursuing this matter further.
