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

Effective January 1, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), Paramount Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Albert Behler, which supersedes and replaces his previous employment agreement. Except as provided below, the terms of the Employment Agreement are substantially consistent with the terms of Mr. Behler’s previous employment agreement and pursuant to the Employment Agreement Mr. Behler will continue to serve as the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

The initial term of the Employment Agreement ends on December 31, 2020 (the “Initial Term”) unless earlier terminated and will automatically extend for an additional one-year term at the expiration of the Initial Term unless either party provides written notice of a non-renewal no later than 180 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term. The Employment Agreement provides that in the event that the term expires upon (i) the completion of three years from the Effective Date following the issuance of a notice of non-renewal by either party or (ii) four years from the Effective Date, Mr. Behler will become an at-will employee. During the period of any at-will employment, Mr. Behler will be subject to certain restrictive covenants, including non-competition and non-solicitation covenants and he will be covered under the Company’s severance plan, if any, then in effect and applicable to executive officers who do not have a written employment agreement with the Company.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and which is incorporated herein by reference.
