American Strategic Investment Co. Announces Changes to Board of Directors

NEW YORK--()--American Strategic Investment Co. (NYSE: NYC) (“ASIC” or the “Company”) announces the following changes to its Board of Directors.

Board member Abby Wenzel has announced that she will resign from the ASIC Board effective December 28, 2023, after serving as a director for more than nine years. Nicholas Radesca has been appointed to the Board as an independent director with immediate effect. Mr. Radesca has a long history of board memberships and has held numerous executive roles.

Commenting on Ms. Wenzel’s departure, Chief Executive Officer Michael Anderson said, “On behalf of our shareholders, we wish to acknowledge with gratitude Abby’s significant contribution to ASIC over the past nine years. In her role, Abby’s leadership and steady hand have been vital in guiding the business through significant changes and challenges.”

Mr. Radesca, 58, has decades of public company experience as chief financial officer of numerous companies, including serving as interim chief financial officer of the Company and as chief financial officer of AR Global and related companies, all of which ended in 2017. He brings to the Company a deep background in real estate, credit, M&A and operating businesses, which the Board believes will bring great value to the Company as it continues to evaluate investment opportunities beyond its current portfolio of assets.

Commenting on Mr. Radesca’s appointment, Chief Executive Officer Michael Anderson said, “We are pleased to welcome Nick back to ASIC and expect his contributions to be very valuable in this new phase of the Company. He joins a board with diverse set of experiences and expertise and believe he will be a great addition.”
