Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
On August 21, 2012, Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (the "Company") filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that Edward A. Glickman would be leaving his position as an officer of the Company effective August 31, 2012. That report disclosed that under the Company's employment agreement with Mr. Glickman, in connection with his departure, he was entitled (i) to receive a payment of approximately $2.7 million, (ii) to receive additional amounts accrued under his supplemental retirement plan, (iii) to have his outstanding unvested restricted shares become vested, and (iv) to remain eligible to receive shares under the Company's Restricted Share Unit programs based on the Company's achievement of the performance metrics established by those programs as if his employment had not terminated.
On October 15, 2012, Mr. Glickman resigned from his position as a trustee of the Company effective as of such date. Mr. Glickman did not resign because of any disagreement with the Company relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices. To formally recognize and memorialize the terms of his departure from the Company as both a trustee and as an officer, the Company and Mr. Glickman entered into a separation agreement dated as of October 15, 2012, which will become effective on October 23, 2012 and which includes a mutual general release of all claims. Under the separation agreement, Mr. Glickman will receive a total cash separation payment (including the previously disclosed $2.7 million to which he would have been entitled under his employment agreement) of $2.8 million.
