| Item 1.01 | Entry into Material Definitive Agreement |
On October 23, 2020, Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (“PREIT”) and the other Company Parties under the Restructuring Support Agreement, dated as of October 7, 2020 (the “Original RSA”), among the Company Parties and the Consenting Lenders, as amended by an Amendment and Waiver to Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA Amendment and Waiver”), dated as of October 16, 2020, among the Company Parties, the Requisite Consenting Lenders and the Requisite Consenting Bridge Lenders, entered into a Second Amendment to Restructuring Support Agreement with the Requisite Consenting Lenders and the Requisite Consenting Bridge Lenders (the “Second RSA Amendment”; the Original RSA, as amended by the RSA Amendment and Waiver and the Second RSA Amendment, the “RSA”). All capitalized terms used in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the RSA.
The Second RSA Amendment provides for a limited tolling of the alleged breach of the Original RSA, as amended by the RSA Amendment and Waiver (the “Alleged RSA Breach”), alleged by certain lenders (as previously reported in PREIT’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 23, 2020), pursuant to which each of the Requisite Consenting Lenders and Requisite Consenting Bridge Lenders has agreed not to exercise remedies relating to the Alleged RSA Breach, to the extent valid, subject to the conditions contained in the Second RSA Amendment.
Under the Second RSA Amendment, in the event the Plan Transactions are pursued, the Company Parties shall be required to commence any potential Chapter 11 Cases on or before October 28, 2020, it being understood that a “Lender Termination Event” occurring as a result of the Alleged RSA Breach, if any, will be tolled from October 22, 2020 until October 28, 2020.
In addition, in the event that (i) all Consenting Lenders become party to the Second RSA Amendment, and (ii) each of Strategic Value Dislocation Master Fund LP, Strategic Value Master Fund, Ltd. and Strategic Value Special Situations Master Fund IV, L.P. execute a Joinder Agreement to the RSA, then (x) the Borrowers’ exercise of their maturity extension option set forth in the Out-of-Court Restructuring Term Sheet annexed to the RSA would be conditioned upon a maximum LTV ratio of 105% for Borrowing Base Properties to the drawn facilities (Senior Facility and Second Lien Term Loan Facility), as determined by an appraisal, and (y) the cash trap, minimum senior debt yield and minimum corporate debt yield financial covenants would be modified, as set forth in the Second RSA Amendment. As of October 29, 2020, neither condition (i) nor (ii), above, have been met.
The foregoing description is not a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Second RSA Amendment and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Second RSA Amendment, which PREIT plans to file as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020.
