Our report dated March 16, 2021, on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, expresses our opinion that Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 because of the effect of a material weakness on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria and contains an explanatory paragraph that states a material weakness related to the Company’s attracting and retaining of sufficient personnel with requisite financial experience, assessment of risk of fraud, including risks of management override of controls and proper segregation of duties, and assessment of changes in the external environment and the potential impact of those changes on the design, operating effectiveness and monitoring of internal controls over financial reporting has been identified and included in management’s assessment.
