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

On April 22, 2014, Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing that George Rubin would be leaving as an officer of the Company effective in late May 2014. The report disclosed that under the terms of Mr. Rubin’s separation from the Company, he was entitled to receive a payment of approximately $2.6 million in connection with his departure, which amount is in addition to the payment of the amounts accrued under Mr. Rubin’s supplemental retirement plan. The report disclosed that all of Mr. Rubin’s outstanding unvested restricted shares would vest.  It also disclosed that he will remain eligible to receive shares in respect of the Restricted Share Units granted to him under the Company’s Restricted Share Unit Programs as if his employment had not terminated, depending upon the achievement of performance levels established by those Programs. Mr. Rubin had also served as one of the Company’s trustees; his term expired at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 30, 2014.

On June 13, 2014, the Company and Mr. Rubin entered into an agreement, which will become effective on June 21, 2014, to formally memorialize these terms of his departure from the Company on May 30, 2014, and which includes a mutual general release of all claims.
