Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 12, 2023, Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (the “Trust”), PREIT Associates, L.P. and PREIT-RUBIN, Inc. (collectively with the Trust and PREIT Associates, L.P., the “Borrower”) entered into the (a) First Amendment to Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement with Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and the lenders signatory thereto (the “First Lien Amendment”), to that certain Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement dated as of December 10, 2020 as amended by that certain Agency Resignation, Appointment, Acceptance and Waiver Agreement, dated as of April 13, 2021 (as amended by the First Lien Amendment, the “Amended First Lien Credit Agreement”) and (b) Second Amendment to Second Lien Credit Agreement with the Administrative Agent and the lenders signatory thereto (the “Second Lien Amendment” and together with the First Lien Amendment, the “Amendments”) to that certain Second Lien Credit Agreement dated as of December 10, 2020 as amended by that certain First Amendment to Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2021, as further amended by that certain Agency Resignation, Appointment, Acceptance and Waiver Agreement, dated as of April 13, 2021 (as so amended, the “Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement” and together with the Amended First Lien Credit Agreement, the “Amended Credit Agreements”).

Pursuant to the Amendments, the parties agreed to replace the interest rate based on the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) and related LIBOR-related mechanics to borrowings under the Credit Agreements with an interest rate based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) and related SOFR-based mechanics. As a result, other than Base Rate Loans, borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreements will bear interest at Term SOFR plus 0.10% plus an applicable margin. The Amendments also incorporated certain administrative and conforming changes to the loan documentation to reflect the Administrative Agent as the successor to the original administrative agent. Other than the foregoing, the terms of the Amended Credit Agreements remain unchanged.

As of April 30, 2023, the Borrower had borrowed $305.7 million under the First Lien Term Loan Facility, $670.5 million under the Second Lien Term Loan Facility and $27.5 million under the First Lien Revolving Facility.

All capitalized terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Amended Credit Agreements, copies of which the Trust will file as exhibits to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending June 30, 2023.
