On May 7, 2014, Physicians Realty Trust (the “Company”) issued a press release that announced operating results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2014. The press release refers to a supplemental information package that is available on the Company’s website (www.docreit.com), free of charge.  Copies of the press release and supplemental information package have been furnished as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to this Current Report, and are incorporated herein by reference.

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

On May 6, 2014, the Company and each of John Thomas, Chief Executive Officer, John Sweet, Chief Investment Officer, John Lucey, Senior Vice President and Principal Accounting and Reporting Officer and Mark Theine, Senior Vice President Asset and Investment Management (the “Executive Officers”) entered into amended employment agreements (the “Amended Agreements”), which provide for the Compensation and Nominating Governance Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Trustees of the Company to use its discretion in setting the amount of annual bonus to be paid to each Executive Officer and to make other administrative changes to the agreements.

On May 6, 2014, the Committee approved the Physicians Realty Trust Incentive Bonus Plan, effective for the 2014 fiscal year and future fiscal years (the “Bonus Plan”). The Bonus Plan provides for the payment of annual cash bonuses to eligible key employees. The performance goals under the Bonus Plan may include any one or any combination of financial, operational, sales or other goals, which may be Company-wide, on a business unit or individual basis or otherwise, and may be expressed, for example, in terms of return on invested capital, revenue, net income or loss, real estate investments, funds from operations, or the attainment of various growth objectives.

On May 6, 2014, the Committee approved an amendment to the Physicians Realty Trust 2013 Equity Plan (“Amendment No. 1 to the 2013 Plan”) removing certain limitations on required periods for time vesting of awards and granting to the Committee the authority to administer and amend the 2013 Equity Plan.
