PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2011

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Operations

Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (“PREIT” or the “Company”) prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the included disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in PREIT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of our operations and our cash flows are included. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

PREIT, a Pennsylvania business trust founded in 1960 and one of the first equity real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) in the United States, has a primary investment focus on retail shopping malls located in the eastern half of the United States, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region. As of March 31, 2011, our portfolio consisted of a total of 49 properties in 13 states, including 38 shopping malls, eight strip and power centers and three development properties, with two of the development properties classified as “mixed use” (a combination of retail and other uses) and one of the development properties classified as “other.”

We hold our interest in our portfolio of properties through our operating partnership, PREIT Associates, L.P. (“PREIT Associates” or the “Operating Partnership”). We are the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of March 31, 2011, we held a 96.0% interest in the Operating Partnership, and consolidated it for reporting purposes. The presentation of consolidated financial statements does not itself imply that the assets of any consolidated entity (including any special-purpose entity formed for a particular project) are available to pay the liabilities of any other consolidated entity, or that the liabilities of any consolidated entity (including any special-purpose entity formed for a particular project) are obligations of any other consolidated entity.

Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, each of the limited partners has the right to redeem such partner’s units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) for cash or, at our election, we may acquire such OP Units in exchange for our common shares on a one-for-one basis, in some cases beginning one year following the respective issue date of the OP Units and in other cases immediately. In the event that all of the outstanding OP Units held by limited partners were redeemed for cash, the total amount that would have been distributed as of March 31, 2011 would have been $33.2 million, which is calculated using our March 31, 2011 closing share price on the New York Stock Exchange of $14.27 multiplied by the number of outstanding OP Units held by limited partners, which was 2,329,118 as of March 31, 2011.

We provide management, leasing and real estate development services through two companies: PREIT Services, LLC (“PREIT Services”), which generally develops and manages properties that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes, and PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. (“PRI”), which generally develops and manages properties that we do not consolidate for financial reporting purposes, including properties owned by partnerships in which we own an interest and properties that are owned by third parties in which we do not have an interest. PREIT Services and PRI are consolidated. PRI is a taxable REIT subsidiary, as defined by federal tax laws, which means that it is able to offer an expanded menu of services to tenants without jeopardizing our continuing qualification as a REIT under federal tax law.

We evaluate operating results and allocate resources on a property-by-property basis, and do not distinguish or evaluate consolidated operations on a geographic basis. We do not have any significant revenue or asset concentrations, and thus the individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to the nature of our properties and the nature of our tenants and operational processes, as well as long-term financial performance. In addition, no single tenant accounts for 10% or more of consolidated revenue, and none of our properties are located outside the United States.

Fair Value

Fair value accounting applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements.

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, these accounting requirements establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. We utilize the fair value hierarchy in our accounting for derivatives (Level 2) and financial instruments (Level 2) and in our reviews for impairment of real estate assets (Level 3) and goodwill (Level 3).

New Accounting Developments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has proposed new accounting pronouncements related to fair value accounting for long lived assets, including real estate, and to lease accounting. These pronouncements, if adopted, could have a significant effect on our financial statements. The effective dates of these possible accounting pronouncement changes, if any, are unknown at this time.

Excess investment represents the unamortized difference between our investment and our share of the equity in the underlying net investment in the partnerships. The excess investment is amortized over the life of the properties, and the amortization is included in “Equity in income of partnerships.”

We record distributions from our equity investments up to an amount equal to the equity in income of partnerships as cash from operating activities. Amounts in excess of our share of the income in the equity investments are treated as a return of partnership capital and recorded as cash from investing activities.

4. FINANCING ACTIVITY

Amended, Restated and Consolidated Senior Secured Credit Agreement (“2010 Credit Facility”)

On March 11, 2010, PREIT Associates and PRI (collectively, the “Borrower”), together with PR Gallery I Limited Partnership (“GLP”) and Keystone Philadelphia Properties, L.P. (“KPP”), two of our other subsidiaries, entered into an Amended, Restated and Consolidated Senior Secured Credit Agreement comprised of (a) an aggregate $520.0 million term loan made up of a $436.0 million term loan (“Term Loan A”) to the Borrower and a separate $84.0 million term loan (“Term Loan B”) to the other two subsidiaries (collectively, the “2010 Term Loan”) and (b) a $150.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Facility,” and, together with the 2010 Term Loan, the “2010 Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and the other financial institutions signatory thereto. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in the description of the 2010 Credit Facility have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the 2010 Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2011, there were no amounts outstanding under our Revolving Facility. We pledged $0.6 million under the Revolving Facility as collateral for letters of credit, and the unused portion of our Revolving Facility that was available to us was $149.4 million at March 31, 2011. The interest rate that would have applied to any outstanding Revolving Facility borrowings as of March 31, 2011 was LIBOR plus 4.90%. Deferred financing fee amortization associated with the Revolving Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2011, $347.2 million was outstanding under the 2010 Term Loan. The weighted average effective interest rate based on amounts borrowed under the 2010 Term Loan for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was 6.51%. Interest expense related to the 2010 Term Loan, which was originated on March 11, 2010, was $5.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, excluding non-cash amortization of deferred financing fees of $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

The 2010 Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants of the type customarily found in facilities of this nature. As of March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all of these covenants. We may be required to apply a portion of the proceeds of any asset sales, joint ventures, new debt financings and equity sales to pay down the 2010 Term Loan and/or any borrowings under the Revolving Facility, depending on the level of our facility debt yield under the applicable covenant, in accordance with the terms of the 2010 Credit Facility.

Exchangeable Notes

As of both March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $136.9 million in aggregate principal amount of our 4.0% Senior Exchangeable Notes (the “Exchangeable Notes”) remained outstanding, excluding debt discount of $2.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

Interest expense related to our Exchangeable Notes was $1.4 million, excluding the non-cash amortization of debt discount of $0.5 million and the non-cash amortization of deferred financing fees of $0.2 million, for each of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Exchangeable Notes have an effective interest rate of 5.90%.

Mortgage Loans

The carrying value (including debt premium of $1.3 million and $1.6 million as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively) and estimated fair values of mortgage loans based on interest rates and market conditions at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

 

     March 31, 2011      December 31, 2010  
     Carrying Value      Fair Value      Carrying Value      Fair Value  

Mortgage loans

   $ 1,738.7 million       $ 1,733.3 million       $ 1,744.2 million       $ 1,699.7 million   

The mortgage loans contain various customary default provisions. As of March 31, 2011, we were not in default on any of the mortgage loans.

5. CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Cash paid for interest was $30.1 million (net of capitalized interest of $0.4 million) and $30.3 million (net of capitalized interest of $0.5 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Development and Redevelopment Activities

In connection with our remaining redevelopment project at Voorhees Town Center and capital improvement projects at certain other properties, we have made contractual and other commitments in the form of tenant allowances, lease termination fees and contracts with general contractors and other professional service providers. As of March 31, 2011, the unaccrued remainder to be paid against these contractual and other commitments was $6.3 million, which is expected to be financed through our Revolving Facility, operating cash flows or through various other capital sources.

7. DERIVATIVES

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to financial market risks, including interest rate risk on our interest bearing liabilities. We attempt to limit these risks by following established risk management policies, procedures and strategies, including the use of financial instruments. We do not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Our outstanding derivatives have been designated under accounting requirements as cash flow hedges. We recognize all derivatives at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Our derivative assets are recorded in “Deferred costs and other assets” and liabilities are recorded in “Fair value of derivative instruments.” The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as, and that qualify as, cash flow hedges is recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” that are related to derivatives will be reclassified to “Interest expense, net” as interest payments are made on the corresponding debt. During the next twelve months, we estimate that $15.8 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense in connection with derivatives. To the extent our derivative instruments are ineffective as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in “Interest expense, net.”

Interest Rate Swaps and Cap

As of March 31, 2011, we had entered into 11 interest rate swap agreements and one interest rate cap agreement that have a weighted average interest rate of 2.41% (excluding the spread on related debt) on a notional amount of $732.6 million maturing on various dates through November 2013, and two forward starting interest rate swap agreements that have a weighted average interest rate of 2.37% (excluding the spread on related debt) on a notional amount of $200.0 million maturing on various dates through March 2013. One of the forward starting swap agreements became effective on April 1, 2011.

We entered into these interest rate swap agreements (including the forward starting swap agreements) and the cap agreement in order to hedge the interest payments associated with the 2010 Credit Facility and our issuances of variable interest rate long-term debt. We assessed the effectiveness of these interest rate swap agreements and cap agreement as hedges at inception and on a quarterly basis. On March 31, 2011, we considered these interest rate swap agreements and cap agreement to be highly effective as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swap agreements and cap agreement are net settled monthly.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss as of March 31, 2011 includes a net loss of $11.6 million relating to forward-starting swaps that we cash settled that are being amortized over 10 year periods commencing on the closing dates of the debt instruments that are associated with these settled swaps.

The following table summarizes the terms and estimated fair values of our interest rate swap, cap and forward starting swap derivative instruments at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The notional amounts provide an indication of the extent of our involvement in these instruments, but do not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks. The fair values of our derivative instruments are recorded in “Fair value of derivative instruments” on our balance sheet.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

We have agreements with some of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision pursuant to which, if our entity that originated such derivative instruments defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations. As of March 31, 2011, we were not in default on any of our derivative obligations.

We have an agreement with a derivative counterparty that incorporates the loan covenant provisions of our loan agreement with a lender affiliated with the derivative counterparty. Failure to comply with the loan covenant provisions would result in our being in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by the agreement.

As of March 31, 2011, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which excludes accrued interest but includes any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements, was $23.7 million. If we had breached any of the default provisions in these agreements as of March 31, 2011, we might have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value (including accrued interest) of $26.2 million. We have not breached any of the provisions as of March 31, 2011.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW

Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, a Pennsylvania business trust founded in 1960 and one of the first equity real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) in the United States, has a primary investment focus on retail shopping malls located in the eastern half of the United States, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region. Our portfolio currently consists of a total of 49 properties in 13 states, including 38 enclosed malls, eight strip and power centers and three development properties. The operating retail properties have a total of approximately 33.2 million square feet. The operating retail properties that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes have a total of approximately 28.7 million square feet, of which we own approximately 23.0 million square feet. The operating retail properties that are owned by unconsolidated partnerships with third parties have a total of approximately 4.5 million square feet, of which 2.9 million square feet are owned by such partnerships. The development portion of our portfolio contains three properties in two states, with two classified as “mixed use” (a combination of retail and other uses) and one classified as “other.”

Our primary business is owning and operating retail shopping malls, which we primarily do through our operating partnership, PREIT Associates, L.P. (“PREIT Associates”). We provide management, leasing and real estate development services through PREIT Services, LLC (“PREIT Services”), which generally develops and manages properties that we consolidate for financial reporting purposes, and PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. (“PRI”), which generally develops and manages properties that we do not consolidate for financial reporting purposes, including properties we own interests in through partnerships with third parties and properties that are owned by third parties in which we do not have an interest. PRI is a taxable REIT subsidiary, as defined by federal tax laws, which means that it is able to offer additional services to tenants without jeopardizing our continuing qualification as a REIT under federal tax law.

Our revenue consists primarily of fixed rental income, additional rent in the form of expense reimbursements, and percentage rent (rent that is based on a percentage of our tenants’ sales or a percentage of sales in excess of thresholds that are specified in the leases) derived from our income producing retail properties. We also receive income from our real estate partnership investments and from the management and leasing services PRI provides.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $14.9 million, a decrease of $3.6 million, compared to a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of $18.5 million. Our March 31, 2011 results of operations were primarily affected by a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by a decrease in net operating income.

We evaluate operating results and allocate resources on a property-by-property basis, and do not distinguish or evaluate our consolidated operations on a geographic basis. We do not have any significant revenue or asset concentrations, and thus the individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to the nature of our properties and the nature of our tenants and operational processes, as well as long-term financial performance. In addition, no single tenant accounts for 10% or more of our consolidated revenue, and none of our properties are located outside the United States.

We hold our interests in our portfolio of properties through our operating partnership, PREIT Associates. We are the sole general partner of PREIT Associates and, as of March 31, 2011, held a 96.0% controlling interest in PREIT Associates. We consolidate PREIT Associates for financial reporting purposes. We hold our investments in seven of the 46 retail properties and one of the three development properties in our portfolio through unconsolidated partnerships with third parties in which we own a 40% to 50% interest. We hold a noncontrolling interest in each unconsolidated partnership, and account for such partnerships using the equity method of accounting. We do not control any of these equity method investees for the following reasons:

 

   

Except for two properties that we co-manage with our partner, all of the other entities are managed on a day-to-day basis by one of our other partners as the managing general partner in each of the respective partnerships. In the case of the co-managed properties, all decisions in the ordinary course of business are made jointly.

 

   

The managing general partner is responsible for establishing the operating and capital decisions of the partnership, including budgets, in the ordinary course of business.

 

13


Table of Contents
   

All major decisions of each partnership, such as the sale, refinancing, expansion or rehabilitation of the property, require the approval of all partners.

 

   

Voting rights and the sharing of profits and losses are generally in proportion to the ownership percentages of each partner.

We record the earnings from the unconsolidated partnerships using the equity method of accounting under the statements of operations caption entitled “Equity in income of partnerships,” rather than consolidating the results of the unconsolidated partnerships with our results. Changes in our investments in these entities are recorded in the balance sheet caption entitled “Investment in partnerships, at equity.” In the case of deficit investment balances, such amounts are recorded in “Distributions in excess of partnership investments.”

We hold our interest in three of our unconsolidated partnerships through tenancy in common arrangements. For each of these properties, title is held by us and another person or persons, and each has an undivided interest in the property. With respect to each of the three properties, under the applicable agreements between us and the other persons with ownership interests, we and such other persons have joint control because decisions regarding matters such as the sale, refinancing, expansion or rehabilitation of the property require the approval of both us and the other person (or at least one of the other persons) owning an interest in the property. Hence, we account for each of the properties using the equity method of accounting. The balance sheet items arising from these properties appear under the caption “Investments in partnerships, at equity.” The statements of operations items arising from these properties appear in “Equity in income of partnerships.”

For further information regarding our unconsolidated partnerships, see note 3 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Current Economic and Capital Market Conditions, Our Leverage and our Near Term Capital Needs

The conditions in the economy and the disruptions in the financial markets have reduced business and consumer confidence and negatively affected employment and consumer spending on retail goods. As a result, the sales and profit performance of retailers in general has decreased, sales at many of our properties in particular have decreased, and we have experienced delays or deferred decisions regarding the openings of new retail stores and lease renewals. We continue to adjust our plans and actions to take into account the current environment.

In addition, credit markets have experienced significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions. These circumstances have materially affected liquidity in the debt markets, making financing terms for borrowers less attractive, and in certain cases have resulted in the limited availability or unavailability of certain types of debt financing.

The conditions in the market for debt capital and commercial mortgage loans, including the commercial mortgage backed securities market, and the conditions in the economy and their effect on retail sales, as well as our significant leverage resulting from use of debt to fund our redevelopment program and other development activity, have combined to necessitate that we vary our approach to obtaining, using and recycling capital. We intend to consider all of our available options for accessing the capital markets, given our position and constraints. The amount remaining to be invested in the last phase of our current redevelopment project is significantly less than in 2009 and 2010, and we believe that we have access to sufficient capital to fund this remaining amount.

We continue to contemplate ways to reduce our leverage through a variety of means available to us, subject to and in accordance with the terms of our Amended, Restated and Consolidated Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the “2010 Credit Facility”). These steps might include obtaining additional equity capital, including through the issuance of equity securities if market conditions are favorable, through joint ventures or other partnerships or arrangements involving our contribution of assets with institutional investors, private equity investors or other REITs, through sales of properties with values in excess of their mortgage loans or allocable debt and application of the excess proceeds to debt reduction, or through other actions.

Development and Redevelopment

We have reached the last phase in our current redevelopment program. Over the past six years, we have invested approximately $1.0 billion in our portfolio. The current estimated project cost of Voorhees Town Center, our only remaining redevelopment project, is $83.0 million, and the amount invested as of March 31, 2011 was $75.2 million. Our projected share of estimated project costs is net of any expected tenant reimbursements, parcel sales, tax credits or other incentives. We may spend additional amounts at our completed redevelopment properties for tenant allowances, leasehold improvements and other costs.

We are engaged in the development of three mixed use and other projects, although we do not expect to make material investments in these projects in the short term. As of March 31, 2011, we had incurred $55.3 million of costs (net of impairment charges recorded in prior years) related to these three projects. The details of the White Clay Point, Springhills and Pavilion at Market East projects and related costs have not been determined. In each case, we will evaluate the financing opportunities available to us at the time a project requires funding. In cases where the project is undertaken with a partner, our flexibility in funding the project might be governed by the partnership agreement or restricted by the covenants contained in our 2010 Credit Facility, which limit our involvement in such projects.

In connection with our remaining redevelopment project at Voorhees Town Center and capital improvement projects at certain other properties, we have made contractual and other commitments in the form of tenant allowances, lease termination fees and contracts with general contractors and other professional service providers. As of March 31, 2011, the unaccrued remainder to be paid against these contractual and other commitments was $6.3 million, which is expected to be financed through the $150.0 million revolving line of credit that is part of the 2010 Credit Facility (the “Revolving Facility”), operating cash flows or through various other capital sources. The projects on which these commitments have been made have total expected remaining costs of $42.4 million.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Critical Accounting Policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that might change in subsequent periods. In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has utilized available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Management has also considered events and changes in property, market and economic conditions, estimated future cash flows from property operations and the risk of loss on specific accounts or amounts in determining its estimates and judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. The estimates and assumptions made by management in applying critical accounting policies have not changed materially during 2011 and 2010, except as otherwise noted, and none of these estimates or assumptions have proven to be materially incorrect or resulted in our recording any significant adjustments relating to prior periods. We will continue to monitor the key factors underlying our estimates and judgments, but no change is currently expected.

For additional information regarding our Critical Accounting Policies, see “Critical Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no material off-balance sheet items other than the partnerships described in note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements and in the “Overview” section above.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following information sets forth our results of operations for each of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010.

Overview

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $14.9 million, a decrease of $3.6 million, compared to a net loss of $18.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Our March 31, 2011 results of operations were primarily affected by a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by a decrease in net operating income.

Combined occupancy is calculated by using occupied gross leasable area (“GLA”) for consolidated and unconsolidated properties and dividing by total GLA for consolidated and unconsolidated properties.

As of March 31, 2011, retail portfolio weighted average occupancy, including consolidated and unconsolidated properties, had increased by 70 basis points to 90.8% compared to the occupancy as of March 31, 2010. Retail portfolio weighted average occupancy excluding anchors increased by 150 basis points to 87.1% as of March 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2010. Occupancy increased at 26 of 38 malls and increased or remained unchanged at seven of eight strip and power centers.

Real Estate Revenue

Real estate revenue decreased by $2.2 million, or 2%, in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to:

 

   

A decrease of $1.8 million in lease termination revenue as a result of $1.4 million received from three tenants during 2010 that did not recur; and

 

   

A decrease of $0.5 million in expense reimbursements. At many of our malls, we have continued to recover a lower proportion of common area maintenance and real estate tax expenses. Our properties are experiencing a trend towards more gross leases (leases that provide that tenants pay a higher minimum rent amount in lieu of contributing toward common area maintenance costs and real estate taxes), as well as more leases that provide for the rent amount to be determined on the basis of a percentage of sales in lieu of

 

16


Table of Contents
 

minimum rent or any contribution toward common area maintenance or real estate tax expenses. In recent years, we have entered into agreements with some tenants experiencing financial difficulties to convert their leases to gross leases or percentage of sales leases, resulting in lower expense reimbursements.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by $0.4 million, or 1%, in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to increases in common area maintenance and real estate tax expenses.

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

NOI (a non-GAAP measure) is derived from real estate revenue (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP) minus operating expenses (determined in accordance with GAAP), plus our share of revenue and operating expenses of our partnership investments as described below, and includes real estate revenue and operating expenses from properties included in discontinued operations. It does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity. It is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that NOI is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment, and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to NOI.

NOI excludes interest and other income, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, gains on sales of interests in real estate, gains or sales of non-operating real estate, gains on sales of discontinued operations, gain on extinguishment of debt, impairment losses, project costs and other expenses.

The following table presents NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. The results are presented using the “proportionate-consolidation method” (a non-GAAP measure), which presents our share of the results of our partnership investments. Under GAAP, we account for our partnership investments under the equity method of accounting. Operating results for retail properties that we owned for the full periods presented (“Same Store”) exclude properties acquired or disposed of during the periods presented. A reconciliation of NOI to net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP appears under the heading “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Non-GAAP Measures.”

Total NOI decreased by $4.9 million, or 7%, in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, including a decrease of $2.6 million relating to Non Same Store properties, which resulted primarily from the sale of five power centers in 2010. See “—Discontinued Operations” below for further information. Same Store NOI decreased by $2.3 million due to a $1.8 million decrease in lease termination revenue, lower expense recoveries and higher common area maintenance expenses and real estate taxes. See “—Real Estate Revenue” and “—Operating Expenses” above for further information about our consolidated properties.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $0.6 million, or 2%, in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a lower overall debt balance, partially offset by higher applicable stated interest rates and decreased capitalized interest after assets were placed in service. Our weighted average borrowing rate was 6.11% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 5.47% for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Table of Contents

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $6.2 million, or 15%, in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to:

 

   

a decrease of $6.8 million because certain lease intangibles and tenant improvements at 28 properties purchased during 2003 became fully amortized in 2010; and,

 

   

an increase of $0.6 million primarily due to a higher asset base resulting from capital improvements at our properties, particularly at properties where we have completed redevelopments that have been placed in service.

Discontinued Operations

We have presented as discontinued operations the operating results of the five power centers that were sold in 2010: Creekview Center, Monroe Marketplace, New River Valley Center, Pitney Road Plaza and Sunrise Plaza.

Operating results for properties included in discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were as follows (there were no results of operations from discontinued operations in the three months ended March 31, 2011):

Funds From Operations

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines Funds From Operations (“FFO”), which is a non-GAAP measure commonly used by REITs, as income before gains and losses on sales of operating properties and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with GAAP); plus real estate depreciation; plus or minus adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.

We use FFO and FFO per diluted share and unit of limited partnership interest in our operating partnership (“OP Unit”) in measuring our performance against our peers and as a performance measure for determining incentive compensation amounts earned under certain of our performance-based executive compensation programs. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition, or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

FFO does not include gains and losses on sales of operating real estate assets, which are included in the determination of net income in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, FFO is not a comprehensive measure of our operating cash flows. In addition, since FFO does not include depreciation on real estate assets, FFO may not be a useful performance measure when comparing our operating performance to that of other non-real estate commercial enterprises. We compensate for these limitations by using FFO in conjunction with other GAAP financial performance measures, such as net income and net cash provided by operating activities, and other non-GAAP financial performance measures, such as NOI. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to FFO.

the sale of five power centers in 2010; and

 

   

a decrease in Same Store NOI, including a $1.8 million decrease in lease termination revenue.

FFO per diluted share and OP Unit decreased $0.18 per share to $0.37 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $0.55 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The weighted average shares outstanding on March 31, 2011 used to determine FFO per share reflects our issuance of 10,350,000 common shares in a public offering in May 2010.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Non-GAAP Measures

The preceding discussions compare our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations results for different periods determined in accordance with GAAP. Also, the non-GAAP measures of NOI and FFO are discussed. We believe that NOI is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment, and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. We believe that FFO is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income/loss that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as various non-recurring items that are considered extraordinary under GAAP, gains on sales of operating real estate and depreciation and amortization of real estate. FFO is a commonly used measure of operating performance and profitability among REITs, and we use FFO and FFO per diluted share and OP Unit as supplemental non-GAAP measures to compare our performance for different periods to that of our industry peers.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

This “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section contains certain “forward-looking statements” that relate to expectations and projections that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about our future liquidity and capital resources, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that might cause our actual liquidity and capital resources to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Additional factors that might affect our liquidity and capital resources include those discussed in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements about our liquidity and capital resources to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.

Capital Resources

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements, including distributions to shareholders, recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions, but excluding development and redevelopment

 

20


Table of Contents

projects, generally through our available working capital and net cash provided by operations, and subject to the terms and conditions of our 2010 Credit Facility. We believe that our net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to allow us to make any distributions necessary to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The aggregate distributions made to common shareholders and OP Unitholders in the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $8.7 million, based on distributions of $0.15 per share and OP Unit. The following are some of the factors that could affect our cash flows and require the funding of future cash distributions, recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements or leasing commissions with sources other than operating cash flows:

 

   

adverse changes or prolonged downturns in general, local or retail industry economic, financial, credit market or competitive conditions, leading to a reduction in real estate revenue or cash flows or an increase in expenses;

 

   

deterioration in our tenants’ business operations and financial stability, including tenant bankruptcies, leasing delays or terminations, or lower sales, causing deferrals or declines in rent, percentage rent and cash flows;

 

   

inability to achieve targets for, or decreases in, property occupancy and rental rates, resulting in lower or delayed real estate revenue and operating income;

 

   

increases in operating costs that cannot be passed on to tenants, resulting in reduced operating income and cash flows; and

 

   

increases in interest rates resulting in higher borrowing costs.

We expect to meet certain of our remaining obligations to fund development and redevelopment projects and certain capital requirements, including scheduled debt maturities, future property and portfolio acquisitions, expenses associated with acquisitions and renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital improvements, through a variety of capital sources, subject to the terms and conditions of our 2010 Credit Facility.

The conditions in the market for debt capital and commercial mortgage loans, including the commercial mortgage backed securities market, and the conditions in the economy and their effect on retail sales, as well as our significant leverage resulting from debt incurred to fund our redevelopment program and other development activity, have combined to necessitate that we vary our approach to obtaining, using and recycling capital. We intend to consider all of our available options for accessing the capital markets, given our position and constraints.

In the past, one avenue available to us to finance our obligations or new business initiatives has been to obtain unsecured debt, based in part on the existence of properties in our portfolio that were not subject to mortgage loans. The terms of the 2010 Credit Facility include our grant of a security interest consisting of a first lien on 20 properties and a second lien on one property. As a result, we have very few remaining assets that we could use to support unsecured debt financing. Our lack of properties in the portfolio that could be used to support unsecured debt might limit our ability to obtain capital in this way.

We are contemplating ways to reduce our leverage through a variety of means available to us, and subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2010 Credit Facility. These steps might include obtaining equity capital, including through the issuance of equity securities if market conditions are favorable, through joint ventures or other partnerships or arrangements involving our contribution of assets with institutional investors, private equity investors or other REITs, through sales of properties with values in excess of their mortgage loans or allocable debt and application of the excess proceeds to debt reduction, or through other actions.

In March 2009, the SEC declared effective our $1.0 billion universal shelf registration statement. In May 2010, we issued 10,350,000 common shares in a public offering at $16.25 per share. We received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $160.6 million. We used the net proceeds from this offering, plus available working capital, to repay borrowings under our 2010 Credit Facility. Currently, we may use the remaining availability under our shelf registration statement to offer and sell common shares of beneficial interest, preferred shares and various types of debt securities, among other types of securities, to the public. However, we may be unable to issue securities under the shelf registration statement, or otherwise, on terms that are favorable to us, or at all.

Amended, Restated and Consolidated Senior Secured Credit Agreement (“2010 Credit Facility”)

On March 11, 2010, PREIT Associates and PRI (collectively, the “Borrower”), together with PR Gallery I Limited Partnership (“GLP”) and Keystone Philadelphia Properties, L.P. (“KPP”), two of our other subsidiaries, entered into an Amended, Restated and Consolidated Senior Secured Credit Agreement comprised of (a) an aggregate $520.0

Table of Contents

million term loan made up of a $436.0 million term loan (“Term Loan A”) to the Borrower and a separate $84.0 million term loan (“Term Loan B”) to the other two subsidiaries (collectively, the “2010 Term Loan”) and (b) a $150.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Facility,” and, together with the 2010 Term Loan, the “2010 Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and the other financial institutions signatory thereto. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in the description of the 2010 Credit Facility have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the 2010 Credit Facility.

The initial term of the 2010 Credit Facility is three years, and we have the right to one 12-month extension of the initial maturity date, subject to certain conditions and to the payment of an extension fee of 0.50% of the then outstanding Commitments.

Amounts borrowed under the 2010 Credit Facility bear interest at a rate between 4.00% and 4.90% per annum, depending on our leverage, in excess of LIBOR, with no floor. In determining our leverage (the ratio of Total Liabilities to Gross Asset Value), the capitalization rate used to calculate Gross Asset Value is 8.00%. The unused portion of the Revolving Facility is subject to a fee of 0.40% per annum.

We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to effectively fix $100.0 million of the underlying LIBOR associated with the 2010 Term Loan at a weighted-average rate of 1.77% for the three-year initial term. An additional $200.0 million of the underlying LIBOR was swapped to a fixed rate at a rate of 0.61% for year one (which ended on April 1, 2011), 1.78% for year two and 2.96% for the balance of the initial term. Additionally, $15.7 million of our 2010 Term Loan is subject to a LIBOR cap with a strike rate of 2.50%. This LIBOR cap will mature in April 2012.

The obligations under Term Loan A are secured by first priority mortgages on 18 of our properties and a second lien on one property, and the obligations under Term Loan B are secured by first priority leasehold mortgages on the two properties ground leased by GLP and KPP (the “Gallery Properties”). The foregoing properties constitute substantially all of our previously unencumbered retail properties.

We and certain of our subsidiaries that are not otherwise prevented from doing so serve as guarantors for funds borrowed under the 2010 Credit Facility.

The aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments and 2010 Term Loan under the 2010 Credit Facility was required to be reduced by $33.0 million by March 11, 2011, by a cumulative total of $66.0 million by March 11, 2012 and by a cumulative total of $100.0 million by March 11, 2013 (if we exercise our right to extend the Termination Date), including all payments (except payments pertaining to the Release Price of a Collateral Property), resulting in permanent reduction of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments and 2010 Term Loan. We used $160.6 million of the proceeds from our May 2010 equity offering to repay borrowings under the 2010 Credit Facility, satisfying all three of these paydown requirements, and no mandatory paydown provisions remain in effect, although we may be required to apply a portion of the proceeds of any asset sale, joint venture, new debt financing or equity sale to pay down the 2010 Term Loan or any borrowings under the Revolving Facility in accordance with the 2010 Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2011, there were no amounts outstanding under our Revolving Facility. We pledged $0.6 million under the Revolving Facility as collateral for letters of credit, and the unused portion of the Revolving Facility that was available to us was $149.4 million at March 31, 2011. The interest rate that would have applied to any outstanding Revolving Facility borrowings as of March 31, 2011 was LIBOR plus 4.90%. Deferred financing fee amortization associated with the Revolving Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2011, $347.2 million was outstanding under the 2010 Term Loan under the 2010 Credit Facility. The weighted average effective interest rate based on amounts borrowed under the 2010 Term Loan for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was 6.51%. Interest expense related to the 2010 Term Loan, which was originated on March 11, 2010, was $5.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, excluding non-cash amortization of deferred financing fees of $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

The 2010 Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants of the type customarily found in facilities of this nature. As of March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all of these covenants. We may be required to apply a portion of the proceeds of any asset sales, joint ventures, new debt financings and equity sales to pay down the 2010 Term Loan and/or any borrowings under the Revolving Facility, depending on the level of our facility debt yield under the applicable covenant, in accordance with the terms of the 2010 Credit Facility.

We may prepay any future borrowings under the Revolving Facility at any time without premium or penalty. We must repay the entire principal amount outstanding under the 2010 Credit Facility at the end of its term, as the term may be extended.

Upon the expiration of any applicable cure period following an event of default, the lenders may declare all of the obligations in connection with the 2010 Credit Facility immediately due and payable, and the Commitments of the lenders to make further loans under the 2010 Credit Facility will terminate. Upon the occurrence of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of the Company, PREIT Associates, PRI, any owner of a Collateral Property or any Material Subsidiary, all outstanding amounts will automatically become immediately due and payable and the Commitments of the lenders to make further loans will automatically terminate.

Exchangeable Notes

As of both March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $136.9 million in aggregate principal amount of our 4.0% Senior Exchangeable Notes (the “Exchangeable Notes”) remained outstanding, excluding debt discount of $2.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

Interest expense related to our Exchangeable Notes was $1.4 million, excluding the non-cash amortization of debt discount of $0.5 million and the non-cash amortization of deferred financing fees of $0.2 million, for each of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Exchangeable Notes have an effective interest rate of 5.90%.

Interest Rate Derivative Agreements

As of March 31, 2011, we had entered into 11 interest rate swap agreements and one interest rate cap agreement that have a weighted average interest rate of 2.41% (excluding the spread on the related debt) on a notional amount of $732.6 million maturing on various dates through November 2013. Additionally, as of March 31, 2011, we had entered into two forward starting interest rate swap agreements that have a weighted average interest rate of 2.37% (excluding the spread on the related debt) on a notional amount of $200.0 million maturing on various dates through March 2013. One of the forward starting swap agreements became effective on April 1, 2011.

We entered into these interest rate swap agreements (including the forward starting swap agreements) and cap agreement in order to hedge the interest payments associated with the 2010 Credit Facility and our issuances of variable interest rate long-term debt. We assessed the effectiveness of these swap agreements and cap agreement as hedges at inception and on a quarterly basis. On March 31, 2011, we considered these interest rate swap agreements and cap agreement to be highly effective as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swap agreements and cap agreement are net settled monthly.

As of March 31, 2011, the aggregate estimated unrealized net loss attributed to these interest rate derivatives was $23.7 million. The carrying amount of the derivative assets is reflected in “Deferred costs and other assets,” the associated liabilities are reflected in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” and the net unrealized loss is reflected in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the accompanying balance sheets.

As of March 31, 2011, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which excludes accrued interest but includes any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements, was $23.7 million. If we had breached any of the default provisions in these agreements as of March 31, 2011, we might have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value (including accrued interest) of $26.2 million. We had not breached any of the provisions as of March 31, 2011.

Mortgage Loans

Twenty-six mortgage loans, which are secured by 24 of our consolidated properties, are due in installments over various terms extending to the year 2020. Seventeen of the mortgage loans bear interest at a fixed rate, seven of the mortgage loans bear interest at variable rates that have been swapped or capped to fixed rates, one mortgage loan bears interest at a variable rate, and the interest rate on one mortgage loan has been partially swapped to a fixed rate and partially bears interest at a variable rate.

The fixed mortgage loan balances, including mortgage loans that have been swapped to fixed interest rates, have interest rates that range from 4.95% to 7.61% and had a weighted average interest rate of 5.81% at March 31, 2011. The variable rate mortgage loans had a weighted average interest rate of 2.80% (excluding the spread on the related debt) at March 31, 2011. The weighted average interest rate of all consolidated mortgage loans was 5.80% at March 31, 2011. Mortgage loans for our unconsolidated properties are accounted for in “Investments in partnerships, at equity” and “Distributions in excess of partnership investments” on the consolidated balance sheets and are not included in the table below.

(1) 

The 2010 Term Loan has a variable interest rate that is between 4.00% and 4.90% plus LIBOR, depending on our leverage. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to effectively fix $100.0 million of the underlying LIBOR associated with the 2010 Term Loan at a rate of 1.77% (excluding the spread on the related debt) for the three-year initial term. An additional $200.0 million of the underlying LIBOR was swapped to a fixed rate at a rate of 0.61% for year one (which ended on April 1, 2011), 1.78% for year two and 2.96% for the balance of the initial term, excluding the spread on the related debt. The swap that was associated with year two became effective on April 1, 2011. Additionally, $15.7 million of our 2010 Term Loan is subject to a LIBOR cap with a strike rate of 2.50%. This LIBOR cap will mature in April 2012.

(2) 

The timing of the payments of these amounts is uncertain. We estimate that such payments will be made in the upcoming year, but situations could arise at these development and redevelopment projects that could delay the settlement of these obligations.

CASH FLOWS

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $20.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $24.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in cash from operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to decreased net operating income as the result of a $1.8 million decrease in lease termination revenue and increased common area maintenance expenses and real estate taxes.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 reflect investment in construction in progress of $7.2 million and real estate improvements of $1.7 million, primarily relating to our ongoing maintenance of our properties. Investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 reflect investment in construction in progress of $9.3 million and real estate improvements of $2.1 million, which primarily relate to our development and redevelopment activities, offset by a $10.0 million decrease in notes receivable from tenants.

Table of Contents

Cash flows used in financing activities were $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $60.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 included dividends and distributions of $8.7 million and principal installments on mortgage loans of $5.2 million. Cash flows used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 reflected the refinancing of our 2003 Credit Facility and 2008 Term Loan. We replaced the $486.0 million outstanding on the 2003 Credit Facility and the $170.0 million 2008 Term Loan with $590.0 million in proceeds from the 2010 Credit Facility. We paid $14.5 million in deferred financing costs in the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily relating to this refinancing. We also received $32.5 million in proceeds from a $30.0 million mortgage loan on New River Valley Mall and an additional $2.5 million draw on the mortgage loan at Lycoming Mall in the three months ended March 31, 2010.

COMMITMENTS

In connection with our redevelopment projects and capital improvements at certain other properties, we have made contractual and other commitments in the form of tenant allowances, lease termination fees and contracts with general contractors and other professional service providers. As of March 31, 2011, the unaccrued remainder to be paid against these contractual and other commitments was $6.3 million, which is expected to be financed through our Revolving Facility, operating cash flows or through various other capital sources. The projects on which these commitments have been made have total expected remaining costs of $42.4 million. We expect to finance these amounts through borrowings under the 2010 Credit Facility or through various other capital sources. See “— Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Resources.”

ENVIRONMENTAL

We are aware of certain environmental matters at some of our properties, including ground water contamination and the presence of asbestos containing materials. We have, in the past, performed remediation of such environmental matters, and we are not aware of any significant remaining potential liability relating to these environmental matters. We may be required in the future to perform testing relating to these matters. We have insurance coverage for certain environmental claims up to $10.0 million per occurrence and up to $20.0 million in the aggregate.

COMPETITION AND TENANT CREDIT RISK

Competition in the retail real estate industry is intense. We compete with other public and private retail real estate companies, including companies that own or manage malls, strip centers, power centers, lifestyle centers, factory outlet centers, theme/festival centers and community centers, as well as other commercial real estate developers and real estate owners, particularly those with properties near our properties, on the basis of several factors, including location and rent charged. We compete with these companies to attract customers to our properties, as well as to attract anchor and in-line store tenants. We also compete to acquire land for new site development, during more favorable economic conditions. Our malls and our strip and power centers face competition from similar retail centers, including more recently developed or renovated centers that are near our retail properties. We also face competition from a variety of different retail formats, including internet retailers, discount or value retailers, home shopping networks, mail order operators, catalogs, and telemarketers. This competition could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease space and on the amount of rent and expense reimbursements that we receive. Our tenants face competition from companies at the same and other properties and from other retail formats as well.

The development of competing retail properties and the related increased competition for tenants might require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would have deferred or would not have otherwise planned to make and might also affect the occupancy and net operating income of such properties. Any such capital improvements, undertaken individually or collectively, would be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2010 Credit Facility and involve costs and expenses that could adversely affect our results of operations.

We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities for acquisitions of malls, other retail properties and other prime development sites, including institutional pension funds, other REITs and other owner-operators of retail properties. Our efforts to compete are also subject to the terms and conditions of our 2010 Credit Facility. Given current economic, capital market and retail industry conditions, however, there has been substantially less competition with respect to acquisition activity in recent quarters. When we seek to make acquisitions, these competitors might drive up the price we must pay for properties, parcels, other assets or other companies or might themselves succeed in acquiring those properties, parcels, assets or companies. In addition, our potential acquisition targets might find our competitors to be more attractive suitors if they have greater resources, are willing to pay more, or have a more compatible operating philosophy. In particular, larger REITs might enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital, a better ability to raise capital, a better ability to finance an acquisition, and enhanced operating efficiencies. We might not succeed in

 

25


Table of Contents

acquiring retail properties or development sites that we seek, or, if we pay a higher price for a property and/or generate lower cash flow from an acquired property than we expect, our investment returns will be reduced, which will adversely affect the value of our securities.

We receive a substantial portion of our operating income as rent under long-term leases with tenants. At any time, any tenant having space in one or more of our properties could experience a downturn in its business that might weaken its financial condition. These tenants might defer or fail to make rental payments when due, delay or defer lease commencement, voluntarily vacate the premises or declare bankruptcy, which could result in the termination of the tenant’s lease, and could result in material losses to us and harm to our results of operations. Also, it might take time to terminate leases of underperforming or nonperforming tenants and we might incur costs to remove such tenants. Some of our tenants occupy stores at multiple locations in our portfolio, and so the effect of any bankruptcy of those tenants might be more significant to us than the bankruptcy of other tenants. In addition, under many of our leases, our tenants pay rent based on a percentage of their sales. Accordingly, declines in these tenants’ sales directly affect our results of operations. Also, if tenants are unable to comply with the terms of their leases, we might modify lease terms in ways that are less favorable to us.

SEASONALITY

There is seasonality in the retail real estate industry. Retail property leases often provide for the payment of a portion of rent based on a percentage of a tenant’s sales revenue over certain levels. Income from such rent is recorded only after the minimum sales levels have been met. The sales levels are often met in the fourth quarter, during the December holiday season. Also, many new and temporary leases are entered into later in the year in anticipation of the holiday season and there is a higher concentration of tenants vacating their space early in the year. As a result, our occupancy and cash flows are generally higher in the fourth quarter and lower in the first quarter, excluding the effect of ongoing redevelopment projects. Our concentration in the retail sector increases our exposure to seasonality and is expected to continue to result in a greater percentage of our cash flows being received in the fourth quarter.

INFLATION

Inflation can have many effects on financial performance. Retail property leases often provide for the payment of rent based on a percentage of sales, which may increase with inflation. Leases may also provide for tenants to bear all or a portion of operating expenses, which may reduce the impact of such increases on us. However, rent increases might not keep up with inflation, or if we recover a smaller proportion of property operating expenses, we might bear more costs if such expenses increase because of inflation.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market interest rates. As of March 31, 2011 our consolidated debt portfolio consisted primarily of $347.2 million borrowed under our 2010 Term Loan, which bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 5.81%, $136.9 million of Exchangeable Notes, which bear interest at 4.00%, excluding debt discount of $2.3 million, and $1,738.7 million in fixed and variable rate mortgage loans, including $1.3 million of mortgage debt premium.

Twenty-six mortgage loans, which are secured by 24 of our consolidated properties, are due in installments over various terms extending to the year 2020. Seventeen of the mortgage loans bear interest at a fixed rate, seven of the mortgage loans bear interest at variable rates that have been swapped or capped to fixed rates, one mortgage loan bears interest at a variable rate, and one mortgage loan has been partially swapped to a fixed rate and partially bears interest at a variable rate.

The fixed mortgage loan balances, including mortgage loans that have been swapped to fixed interest rates, have interest rates that range from 4.95% to 7.61% and had a weighted average interest rate of 5.81% at March 31, 2011. The variable rate mortgage loans had a weighted average interest rate of 2.80% (excluding the spread on the related debt) at March 31, 2011. The weighted average interest rate of all consolidated mortgage loans was 5.80% at March 31, 2011. Mortgage loans for our unconsolidated properties are accounted for in “Investments in partnerships, at equity” and “Distributions in excess of partnership investments” on the consolidated balance sheets and are not included in the table below.

(1) 

Based on the weighted average interest rate in effect as of March 31, 2011.

(2) 

Includes Exchangeable Notes of $136.9 million with a fixed interest rate of 4.00%.

(3) 

Includes $300.0 million of the 2010 Term Loan. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to effectively fix $100.0 million of the underlying LIBOR associated with the 2010 Term Loan at a weighted average rate of 1.77% (excluding the spread on the related debt) for the three-year initial term. An additional $200.0 million of the underlying LIBOR was swapped to a fixed rate at a rate of 0.61% for year one (which ended on April 1, 2011), 1.78% for year two and 2.96% for the balance of the initial term, excluding the spread on the related debt. The swap that is associated with year two became effective on April 1, 2011.

(4) 

Includes $47.2 million of the 2010 Term Loan, $31.5 million of which has not been swapped to a fixed interest rate and $15.7 million of which is subject to a LIBOR cap with a strike rate of 2.50%. The LIBOR cap will mature in April 2012.

Changes in market interest rates have different effects on the fixed and variable portions of our debt portfolio. A change in market interest rates applicable to the fixed portion of the debt portfolio affects the fair value, but it has no effect on interest incurred or cash flows. A change in market interest rates applicable to the variable portion of the debt portfolio affects the interest incurred and cash flows, but does not affect the fair value. The following sensitivity analysis related to the fixed debt portfolio, which includes the effects of our interest rate swap agreements, assumes an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates from their actual March 31, 2011 levels, with all other variables held constant.

A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease in our net financial instrument position of $42.7 million at March 31, 2011. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would have resulted in an increase in our net financial instrument position of $44.7 million at March 31, 2011. Based on the variable rate debt included in our debt portfolio as of March 31, 2011, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have resulted in an additional $0.6 million in interest annually. A 100 basis point decrease would have reduced interest incurred by $0.6 million annually.

To manage interest rate risk and limit overall interest cost, we may employ interest rate swaps, options, forwards, caps and floors, or a combination thereof, depending on the underlying exposure. Interest rate differentials that arise under swap contracts are recognized in interest expense over the life of the contracts. If interest rates rise, the resulting cost of funds is expected to be lower than that which would have been available if debt with matching characteristics was issued directly. Conversely, if interest rates fall, the resulting costs would be expected to be higher. We may also employ forwards or purchased options to hedge qualifying anticipated transactions. Gains and losses are deferred and recognized in net income in the same period that the underlying transaction occurs, expires or is otherwise terminated. See note 7 of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2011, we had an aggregate $732.6 million in notional amount of swap agreements settling on various dates through November 2013. We also had an aggregate of $200.0 million in notional amount of forward starting interest rate swap agreements maturing on various dates through March 2013.

Because the information presented above includes only those exposures that existed as of March 31, 2011, it does not consider changes, exposures or positions which could arise after that date. The information presented herein has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate realized gain or loss or expense with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at the time and interest rates.

PREAMBLE

WHEREAS, Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (the “Trust”) established, and its shareholders approved, the Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), primarily in order to award equity-based benefits to certain officers and other key employees of the Trust and its “Related Corporations” and “Subsidiary Entities” (both as defined in the Plan);

3


receive the number of Shares determined under Section 4 hereof, based on the extent to which the Corporate Goal is achieved. Such Base Units shall be subject to the adjustments described in Section 8 hereof. Each Award Agreement, and the Shares which may be delivered thereunder, are subject to the terms of this Program and the terms of the Plan.

4. Performance Goal; Delivery of Shares

(a) If, for the Measurement Period, the Trust’s performance, based on its “TRS” (as defined below), equals or exceeds the “Threshold” (as defined below), then the Trust shall deliver to each Participant the number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares) determined by first multiplying the whole percentile (expressed as a percentage equal to the percentile rounded up for fractions of one-half or greater) at which the Trust’s TRS for the Measurement Period places the Trust among the component members of the “MSCI US REIT Index” (as defined below) for the Measurement Period, each ranked pursuant to such TRS, by two, and then multiplying that product by the Participant’s Base Units; provided, however, that the number of Shares that may be delivered shall not exceed 150% of the Participant’s Base Units. Shares will be delivered under the Program to the extent that Shares remain available under the Plan. If the total number of Shares to be delivered exceeds the number of Shares available under the Plan, then the number of Shares for each Participant will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on each individual Participant’s Base Units as compared to the total of all Participants’ Base Units, each determined as of the last day of the Measurement Period. If, for the Measurement Period, the Trust’s performance, based on its TRS, does not equal or exceed the Threshold, the Trust shall not deliver any Shares to the Participants. Also, except as provided in subsection (c) below, a Participant must be employed by an Employer on the last day of the Measurement Period in order to receive any Shares under this Program. See Appendix A attached hereto for examples illustrating the operation of this Section.

(b) Definitions for this Section. The following terms shall be defined as set forth below:

(1) “MSCI US REIT Index” means the MSCI US REIT Index’s gross index (as it may be renamed from time to time) or, in the event such index shall cease to be published, such other index as the Committee shall determine to be comparable thereto.

(2) “Share Value” means, as applicable and except as provided in the following sentence, the average of the closing prices of one Share on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (or, if not then listed on the NYSE, on the principal market or quotation system on which then traded) for: (i) the 20 days on which Shares were traded prior to the Effective Date (for the value of a Share on the Effective Date); (ii) the 20 days on which Shares were traded prior to and including the last day of the Measurement Period (for the value of a Share on the last day of the Measurement Period); or (iii) the 20 days on which the Shares were traded prior to and including the applicable dividend payment date (for the “purchase” of additional RSUs under subsection (e) below). In the event of a Business Combination approved by the shareholders of the Trust on or prior to December 31, 2013, Share Value shall mean the final price per Share agreed upon by the parties to the Business Combination.

(3) “Threshold” means the 25th percentile among the component members (including the Trust) of the MSCI US REIT Index at the end of the Measurement Period (ranked based upon each such member’s TRS for the Measurement Period).

 

4


(4) “TRS” means total return to shareholders, as calculated by the Committee or its designee, for the Measurement Period for the Trust and for the other component members of the MSCI US REIT Index. “Component members” means those entities used for purposes of compiling the MSCI US REIT Index as of the first day of the Measurement Period and that remain publicly held companies as of the last day of the Measurement Period, whether or not they are still included in the MSCI US REIT Index on such last day.

(c) Termination of Employment. Upon a Participant’s termination of employment on or prior to the last day of the Measurement Period, the following shall occur:

(1) Termination without Cause, for Good Reason, or on Account of Disability or Death. If, on or prior to the last day of the Measurement Period, (i) the Participant terminates his or her employment with the Employer for Good Reason, (ii) the Employer terminates the Participant’s employment for reasons other than for Cause, (iii) the Participant incurs a Disability Termination, or (iv) the Participant dies, the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary(ies), if applicable) shall be eligible to receive Shares under the Program (or not) as though the Participant had remained employed by the Employer through the end of the Measurement Period.

(2) Termination for Any Other Reason. If, on or prior to the last day of the Measurement Period, the Participant’s employment with the Employer terminates for any reason other than a reason described in paragraph (1) above, the Participant shall forfeit all of the Base Units (and all of the Shares that may have become deliverable with respect to such Base Units) subject to the RSUs the Participant was granted under the Program.

(d) Determination of Performance; Share Delivery. Within 30 days after the end of the Measurement Period, the Committee shall provide each Participant with a written determination of whether the Trust did or did not attain the Corporate Goal for the Measurement Period (and, if applicable, the extent to which the Corporate Goal was attained) and the calculations used to make such determination. If Shares are to be delivered under the Program, they shall be delivered to Participants within 60 days following the end of the Measurement Period, unless the Measurement Period ends as a result of a Change in Control, in which case the Shares will be delivered to the Participants within five days following the end of the Measurement Period.

(e) DERs. Participants shall be awarded DERs with respect to their number of Base Units. Each DER will be expressed as a specific dollar amount (the “Dollar Amount”) equal to the dollar amount of the dividend paid on an actual Share on a specific date (the “Dividend Date”) multiplied by the Participant’s number of Base Units. Until the end of the Measurement Period, the Committee will apply the Dollar Amount to “purchase” a number of additional RSUs equal to the Dollar Amount divided by the Share Value. The delivery of Shares in respect of such additional RSUs shall also be subject to the attainment of the Corporate Goal set forth in subsection (a) above. DERs shall also be awarded on such additional RSUs and applied in the same manner (thereby increasing the Participant’s Base Units on a cumulative basis). RSUs deemed purchased with DERs hereunder may be whole or fractional units.

Participants who make a deferral election under subsection (f) below shall also be awarded DERs under the Plan with respect to their deferred Shares. Each such DER will be expressed as a Dollar Amount equal to the dollar amount of the dividend paid on an actual Share

 

5


on a Dividend Date during the deferral period multiplied by the number of Shares still deferred by the Participant as of the Dividend Date. The Committee will apply the Dollar Amount to “purchase” notional shares (on which DERs thereafter will also be awarded and applied in the same manner) at the closing price of a Share on the Dividend Date. Notional shares deemed purchased with DERs hereunder may be whole or fractional shares. DERs expressed as a Dollar Amount will continue to be applied to “purchase” notional shares on Dividend Dates until all of the Participant’s deferred Shares are delivered to the Participant (or to his or her beneficiary(ies), if applicable), as elected in his or her deferral election agreement. A Participant’s notional shares “purchased” with DERs awarded with respect to his or her deferred Shares shall be 100% vested at all times.

The Trust shall establish a bookkeeping account (the “DER Account”) for each such Participant and credit to such account the number of whole and fractional additional RSUs and notional shares deemed purchased with the Dollar Amounts. The Participant’s additional RSUs and notional shares shall be subject to the adjustments described in Section 8 hereof. All whole additional RSUs (for which Shares become deliverable under this Section) and whole notional shares credited to a Participant’s DER Account shall be replaced by issued Shares on a one-to-one basis on the delivery date referred to in subsection (d) above, and the fractional additional RSUs (for which Shares become deliverable under this Section) and fractional notional shares credited to a Participant’s DER Account shall be aggregated and replaced by issued Shares (and with cash in lieu of a fractional Share) based on the closing price of a Share on the replacement date, and delivered to the Participant (or to his or her beneficiary(ies), if applicable) on the date the associated Shares are delivered to the Participant.

(f) Elective Deferrals. Except in the event of delivery on account of a Change in Control, if Shares are to be delivered under the Program, a Participant may elect to defer delivery (and the Trust shall defer issuance) of all or a portion of the Shares until, as specified in the Participant’s deferral election agreement, (i) the Participant’s separation from service from the Trust’s controlled group of entities and/or (ii) a date chosen by the Participant. The Participant may also elect in the deferral election agreement to receive Shares upon the occurrence of an “unforeseeable emergency,” as defined in section 409A(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Code, to the extent not prohibited by that section of the Code and regulations issued thereunder. If a Change in Control or the Participant’s death occurs during the deferral period, the Participant’s Shares (and cash attributable to DERs) shall be delivered in a single sum to the Participant or to the Participant’s beneficiary(ies) (as applicable) on the 30th day after the Change in Control (provided that, if the Change in Control arises from a Business Combination, the Change in Control shall be deemed to occur on the date of the closing or effectiveness of the Business Combination, as applicable) or the Participant’s death (as applicable).

A Participant’s deferral election agreement must be submitted to the Committee no later than June 30, 2013 in order to be effective; otherwise, Shares (and cash attributable to DERs) deliverable to the Participant, if any, will be delivered on March 1, 2014. Unless the delivery of deferred Shares is occasioned by either of the events described in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph, if deferred Shares are to be delivered to a Participant who is a “specified employee,” as defined in section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, upon his or her separation from service from the Trust’s controlled group of entities, the Trust shall issue and deliver such deferred Shares (and cash attributable to DERs) on the date that is six months after the date of his or her separation from service. A deferral election agreement shall be substantially in the form set forth in Appendix B attached hereto.

 

6


The Committee intends to administer the Program, including the delivery of Shares under an election made pursuant to this subsection (f) and the underlying deferral election agreement, in accordance with section 409A of the Code and regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, but makes no representation with respect to the qualification of the Program or the Awards granted hereunder.

5. Beneficiary Designation

(a) Each Participant shall designate the person(s) as the beneficiary(ies) to whom the Participant’s Shares shall be delivered in the event of the Participant’s death prior to the delivery of the Shares to him or her. Each beneficiary designation shall be substantially in the form set forth in Appendix C attached hereto and shall be effective only when filed with the Committee during the Participant’s lifetime.

(b) Any beneficiary designation may be changed by a Participant without the consent of any previously designated beneficiary or any other person by the filing of a new beneficiary designation with the Committee. The filing of a new beneficiary designation shall cancel all beneficiary designations previously filed.

(c) If any Participant fails to designate a beneficiary in the manner provided above, or if the beneficiary designated by a Participant predeceases the Participant, the Committee shall direct such Participant’s Shares to be delivered to the Participant’s surviving spouse or, if the Participant has no surviving spouse, then to the Participant’s estate.

6. Delivery to Guardian. If Shares are issuable under this Program to a minor, a person declared incompetent, or a person incapable of handling the disposition of property, the Committee may direct the delivery of the Shares to the guardian, legal representative, or person having the care and custody of the minor, incompetent or incapable person. The Committee may require proof of incompetence, minority, incapacity or guardianship as the Committee may deem appropriate prior to the delivery. The delivery shall completely discharge the Committee, the Trustees and the Employer from all liability with respect to the Shares delivered.

7. Source of Shares. This Program shall be unfunded, and the delivery of Shares shall be pursuant to the Plan. Each Participant and beneficiary shall be a general and unsecured creditor of the Employer to the extent of the Shares determined hereunder, and the Participant shall have no right, title or interest in any specific asset that the Employer may set aside, earmark or identify as reserved for the delivery of Shares under the Program. The Employer’s obligation under the Program shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise to deliver Shares in the future, provided the Corporate Goal is met. No person shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership in respect of Shares which are subject to Awards hereunder until such Shares have been issued to that person.

8. Capital Adjustments. Calculations required under the Program, the number of Base Units awarded under the Program, and the number of Shares that may be delivered under the Program shall be adjusted to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a subdivision (share-split), consolidation (reverse split), share dividend, merger, spinoff or other similar event or transaction affecting the Trust during the Measurement Period.

 

7


9. Tax Withholding. The delivery of Shares (and cash, if applicable) to a Participant or beneficiary under this Program shall be subject to applicable tax withholding pursuant to Section 10.6 of the Plan.

10. Administration. This Program shall be administered by the Committee pursuant to the powers granted to it in Section 3 of the Plan.

11. Amendment and Termination.

APPENDIX A

PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

2011-2013 RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT PROGRAM

(Established under the Pennsylvania Real Estate

Investment Trust Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan)

EXAMPLE*

A is a participant in the Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust 2011-2013 Restricted Share Unit Program (the “Program”).

The price of a beneficial interest (a “Share”) in the “Trust” (as defined in the Program) on January 1, 2011 is $15, and the price of a Share on December 31, 2013 is $25. For the three-year period beginning January 1, 2011 and ending December 31, 2013 (the “Measurement Period”), dividends total $6 per Share (and are paid in an equal amount on a quarterly basis – i.e., $.15 dividend per Share per quarter).

Dividends and Crediting Additional RSUs

Participant A receives a Restricted Share Unit award for 250 “Base Units” (as defined in the Program). Additional Restricted Share Units are deemed purchased and credited on a quarterly basis using dividends deemed to be paid on the units. The purchase price of the additional Restricted Share Units credited pursuant to the terms of the Program is the 20-day average share price prior to and including the date of the dividend.

The following table illustrates how dividends are deemed to be paid on the Base Units and how additional Restricted Share Units are credited and added to the aggregate number of Base Units held by Participant A:

Delivery of Shares

Following the expiration of the Measurement Period, the Committee (as defined in the Program) determines where the Trust’s performance, based on its total return to shareholders (“TRS”), places the Trust among the component members of the “MSCI US REIT Index” (as defined in the Program) (the “Index”), ranked pursuant to each member’s TRS over the Measurement Period, as calculated by the Trust or by a third party selected by the Committee.

Assume the TRS for the Measurement Period is determined to be 160%. If, as of December 31, 2013, the Trust’s TRS places the Trust above the 25th percentile on the Index, Participant A would receive Shares (with fractional Shares settled in cash), with the number of Shares deliverable to the Participant determined as a percentage of 273.7 (the number of Base Units the Participant holds as of December 31, 2013).

The following chart illustrates the number of Shares deliverable as a percent of Base Units, based on the Trust’s percentile on the Index:

 

Percentile

   Percent of Base Units
Deliverable in  Shares
Below 25th    0%
25th    50%
40th    80%
50th    100%
65th    130%
75th or above    150%

For example, if the Trust’s TRS places the Trust at the 50th percentile on the Index, Participant A would receive 273 Shares (and cash for the 0.7 Share). If the Trust’s TRS places the Trust at the 24th percentile, Participant A would receive 0 Shares, and if the Trust’s TRS places the Trust at the 80th percentile, Participant A would receive 410 Shares (and cash for the 0.55 Share).


APPENDIX B

PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

2011-2013 RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT PROGRAM

(Established under the Pennsylvania Real Estate

Investment Trust Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan)

DEFERRAL ELECTION AGREEMENT*

The Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust 2011-2013 Restricted Share Unit Program, effective as of January 1, 2011 (the “Program”), provides a select group of management or highly compensated employees with the ability to defer a portion of their compensation earned under the Program. The purpose of this Deferral Election Agreement is to allow you to defer the delivery of all or a portion of the Shares that are otherwise deliverable to you under the Program until one of the events selected below occurs.

AFTER YOU SIGN THIS DEFERRAL ELECTION AGREEMENT AND IT IS ACCEPTED BY PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (THE “TRUST”), YOU MAY NOT REVOKE IT AFTER JUNE 30, 2013. IF YOU DECIDE SUBSEQUENTLY TO CHOOSE A LATER DELIVERY DATE, YOU MUST SUBMIT A NEW DEFERRAL ELECTION AGREEMENT AT LEAST 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO YOUR ORIGINAL DELIVERY DATE AND YOUR NEW DELIVERY DATE MUST BE AT LEAST FIVE YEARS AFTER YOUR ORIGINAL DELIVERY DATE. YOU MAY NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ACCELERATE THE DELIVERY OF YOUR PERFORMANCE SHARES AFTER THIS DEFERRAL ELECTION AGREEMENT HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE (OTHER THAN AS A RESULT OF AN UNFORESEEABLE EMERGENCY, IF ELECTED BELOW).

You need only complete this Deferral Election Agreement if you wish to defer the delivery of Shares that become deliverable to you under the Program. Capitalized terms in this Deferral Election Agreement are defined in the Program.

 

1. Participation Election

¨        I hereby elect to defer under the terms of the Program the delivery of             % [insert any whole percentage from one to 100 percent, inclusive] of the Shares that may become deliverable to me under the Program, less any Shares necessary to satisfy any applicable FICA and/or FUTA tax withholding obligations.

 

*  Because of the complexities involved in the application of federal, state and local tax laws to specific circumstances and the uncertainties as to possible future changes in the tax laws, you should consult your personal tax advisor regarding your own situation before completing this Deferral Election Agreement.

 

ii


2. Delivery Date Election

I hereby elect to have the Trust deliver the percentage set forth above of the Shares that may become deliverable to me under the Program upon the following event [check only one box]:

¨        (A) On the 10th calendar day after my separation from service from the Trust’s controlled group of entities (the date which is six months after such separation from service if I am a “specified employee” at that time – see Section 4(f) of the Program).

¨        (B) On the following date:                          , 20     [must be after December 31, 2014].

¨        (C) Upon the earlier of the 10th calendar day after my separation from service (as described in event (A) above) or the following date:                          , 20     [must be after December 31, 2014].

 

3. Acceleration in the Event of an Unforeseeable Emergency

In addition to the election I made in 2 above, if I check the following box, I also elect to have the Trust deliver Shares, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to me:

¨        Upon an “Unforeseeable Emergency,” as defined in Section 4(f) of the Program. (This term is defined quite restrictively in the Internal Revenue Code. See the footnote on the previous page regarding consulting with your own tax advisor before completing this Deferral Election Agreement.)

 

4. Change in Control or Death

If a Change in Control or my death occurs before all of the Shares are delivered to me, such Shares shall be delivered in a single distribution to me or to my beneficiary(ies) designated in my Beneficiary Designation Form (as applicable) on the 30th day after such Change in Control (provided that, if the Change in Control arises from a Business Combination, the Change in Control shall be deemed to occur on the date of the closing or effectiveness of the Business Combination, as applicable) or death (as applicable). In addition, the Company may distribute the Shares to me prior to the date selected under Section 2 above to the extent such delivery is consistent with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

5. Insufficient Share Possibility

Because of the finite number of Shares available under the Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, I understand that it is possible that not enough Shares will be available under the Plan to deliver all of the Shares otherwise required to be delivered to me (or to my beneficiary(ies)) on the deferral date(s) chosen in 2 and 3 above. I acknowledge and agree that in the event that an insufficient number of Shares are available under the Plan, cash will be delivered to me in lieu of Shares.

*    *    *    *    *


By signing this Deferral Election Agreement, I agree to the terms and conditions of the Program as the Program now exists, and as it may be amended from time to time (provided that no amendment of the Program will adversely affect my rights under the Program without my written consent).

Exhibit 10.2

PENNSYLVANIA REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

2003 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS

AWARD AGREEMENT

ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE

2011-2013 RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT PROGRAM

This RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Award Agreement”), dated on the      day of March, 2011, is between Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, a Pennsylvania business trust (the “Trust”), and                                                               (the “Grantee”), a “Key Employee” under the Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

WHEREAS, the Trust’s Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee established the Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust 2011-2013 Restricted Share Unit Program (the “Program”) under the Plan for specified Key Employees under the Plan;

WHEREAS, the Plan provides for the award of “Performance Shares” (as defined in the Plan) (which award is referred to as a “Restricted Share Unit” or an “RSU” in the Program and herein) to participants following the attainment of a designated corporate performance goal, and of dividend equivalent rights (“DERs,” as defined in the Plan) with respect to such Restricted Share Units;

WHEREAS, the Program designates a corporate performance goal that determines if and the extent to which Shares will become deliverable to a participant in the Program based on his or her Restricted Share Units;

WHEREAS, the Grantee may defer delivery of his or her Shares (if deliverable) until a later date and, if so deferred, the Grantee will be awarded additional DERs with respect to such Shares; and

WHEREAS, DERs awarded with respect to Restricted Share Units and deferred Shares will be expressed as a dollar amount, which will be applied to “purchase” additional Restricted Share Units and notional shares of the Trust, as applicable (on which DERs will also be awarded), and will be settled in actual shares of the Trust (and in cash to the extent the Grantee’s account holds a fractional Restricted Share Unit or notional share);

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the legal sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Potential Award of Shares.

(a) The Grantee is hereby awarded a number of “Base Units” equal to              Restricted Share Units. The Grantee’s Base Units will increase in number pursuant to the “purchase” of additional Restricted Share Units with DERs, as described in subsections (b) and (e) below.


(b) The Grantee is hereby awarded a DER with respect to each of his or her Base Units, as such number of units may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with the Program. If the Grantee makes a deferral election under Section 4(f) of the Program, the Grantee shall also be awarded DERs with respect to each deferred Share.

(c) The Trust hereby promises to deliver to the Grantee the number of Shares that Grantee becomes entitled to under Section 4 of the Program (if any). Unless the Grantee elects to make a deferral election pursuant to Section 4(f) of the Program, in which case Shares will be delivered in accordance with such election, the Shares shall be delivered within 60 days following the end of the “Measurement Period” (as defined in the Program), unless the Measurement Period ends as a result of a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Program), in which case the Shares will be delivered to the Participants within five days following the end of the Measurement Period (the “Delivery Date”). This Award Agreement is in all respects limited and conditioned as hereinafter provided, and is subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Program and the Plan now in effect and as they may be amended from time to time; provided, that no amendment may adversely affect an issued Award Agreement without the written consent of the affected Grantee. The terms and conditions of the Program and the Plan are incorporated herein by reference, made a part hereof, and shall control in the event of any conflict with any other terms of the Award Agreement.

(d) Pursuant to Section 4(c) of the Program, if the Grantee’s employment with the “Employer” (as defined in the Program) (i) is terminated by the Employer for reasons other than for “Cause” (as defined in the Program), (ii) is terminated by the Grantee for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Program), (iii) terminates on account of the Grantee’s death, or (iv) terminates as a “Disability Termination” (as defined in the Program), in each case on or before the last day of the Measurement Period, the Grantee shall nevertheless be eligible to receive Shares under the Program (or not) as though the Grantee had remained employed by the Employer through the end of the Measurement Period. If the Grantee’s employment with the Employer terminates for any other reason, the Grantee shall forfeit all of the Base Units (and all of the Shares that may have become deliverable with respect to such Base Units) subject to the RSUs the Participant was granted under the Program.

(e) DERs awarded with respect to Restricted Share Units will be expressed as a specific dollar amount equal in value to the amount of dividends paid on an actual Share on a specific date (the “Dividend Date”) during the Measurement Period, multiplied by the Grantee’s Base Units as of the Dividend Date. The Committee will apply the dollar amount to “purchase” full and fractional Restricted Share Units at “Share Value” (as defined in the Program), which will be subject to Section 4(a) of the Program, and on which DERs thereafter will also be awarded. The Grantee’s additional Restricted Share Units will be replaced by issued Shares (and by cash, to the extent the Grantee has a right to receive a fractional Share) and delivered to the Grantee (if at all) in accordance with Section 4 of the Program.

DERs awarded with respect to deferred Shares will also be expressed as a specific dollar amount equal in value to the amount of dividends paid on an actual Share on a Dividend

 

- 2 -


Date during the deferral period, multiplied by the number of Shares still deferred by the Grantee as of the Dividend Date. The Committee will apply the dollar amount to “purchase” full and fractional notional shares at the closing price on the Dividend Date, on which DERs thereafter will also be awarded. The Grantee’s notional shares will be recorded in a bookkeeping account, and will be 100% vested. The Grantee’s notional shares will be replaced by issued Shares (and by cash, to the extent the Grantee holds a fractional notional share) and delivered to the Grantee (if at all) in accordance with Section 4 of the Program.

2. Share Delivery. Shares delivered pursuant to the Program shall be registered in the Grantee’s name (or, if the Grantee so requests, in the name of the Grantee and the Grantee’s spouse, jointly with right of survivorship).

3. Transferability. The Grantee may not, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, assign or transfer his or her Restricted Share Units or notional Shares. The Grantee may assign or transfer, in whole or in part, Shares delivered hereunder pursuant to the Program, subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law or the Trust’s insider trading policies.

4. Withholding of Taxes. Payments made with respect to this Award will be subject to tax withholding to the extent required by law and in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

5. Share Retention Requirements. For purposes of the share retention requirements of the Trust’s governance guidelines, the Shares issued to the Grantee under the Program shall be treated as though they were restricted shares that became vested upon issuance. However, any share retention requirement that results from this provision shall immediately lapse upon the Participant’s termination of employment with the Employer.

6. Recoupment Policy. The Grantee hereby agrees that any Shares delivered under this Award Agreement shall be subject to the Trust’s “Recoupment Policy” (if applicable to the Grantee) as in effect on the date the Restricted Share Units are granted under this Award Agreement, and as subsequently amended.

7. Governing Law. This Award Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and its interpretation shall be governed by, applicable federal law and otherwise by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (without reference to the principles of the conflict of laws).

 

- 3 -


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust has caused this Award Agreement to be duly executed by its duly authorized officer, and the Grantee has hereunto set his or her hand, all on the day and year first above written.
