Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On November 24, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), increased the size of the Board from eight to nine directors effective January 1, 2026, and appointed David Stockert to serve as an independent director of the Company, effective January 1, 2026. Mr. Stockert was also appointed to serve as a member of the Board’s Audit Committee, effective January 1, 2026. The number of directors of the Company will be reduced by two to a total of seven directors effective at the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, eliminating any vacancies on the Board resulting from the completion of Michael S. Frankel and Howard Schwimmer’s service as directors. Effective as of January 1, 2026, Debra L. Morris will no longer serve on the Company’s Audit Committee.

The Board has determined that Mr. Stockert qualifies as an independent director under the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) rules and the Company’s corporate governance guidelines. Additionally, the Board has determined that Mr. Stockert qualifies as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to the definition adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the listing standards of the NYSE.

Mr. Stockert, 63, has served as a general partner of Sweetwater Opportunity Funds, a series of Atlanta-based private real estate investment funds, since 2019. From 2002 until its merger with Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. in 2016, he served as Chief Executive Officer and President of Post Properties, Inc., a real estate investment trust, after joining in 2001 as President and Chief Operating Officer. Prior to joining Post Properties, Inc., Mr. Stockert held senior leadership positions at Duke Realty Corporation and Weeks Corporation, each an Industrial REIT. He has served as a member of the board of directors of Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. (NYSE: MAA) since 2016 and previously served on the board of directors of Duke Realty Corporation from 2017 until its acquisition by Prologis, Inc. in 2022. From 2019 to 2022, Mr. Stockert served as lead independent director of Duke Realty Corporation. Earlier in his career, Mr. Stockert was an investment banker focused on real estate and practiced as a Certified Public Accountant at Ernst & Young LLP. He holds an MBA from Columbia Business School and a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Stockert and any other person pursuant to which he was elected as a director. There are no transactions in which Mr. Stockert has an interest requiring disclosure herein under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Stockert will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s non-employee director compensation program. The Company will enter into its standard indemnification agreement with Mr. Stockert.
