Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On June 8, 2010, Mall at Lehigh Valley, L.P. (the “Borrower”) entered into a $140.0 million mortgage loan that is secured by Lehigh Valley Mall in Whitehall, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (the “Company”) and affiliates of Kravco Simon Company each have an indirect 50% ownership interest in the Borrower and in its affiliate, Lehigh Valley Associates, fee owner and ground lessor for the property on which the mall is situated (the “Ground Lessor”). Kravco Simon Company is an affiliate of Simon Property Group, Inc.. The mortgage loan has a term of 120 months, during which the Borrower is required to make payments of principal and interest based on a 360 month amortization schedule. The loan bears interest at a rate of 5.88%. The loan contains various customary events of default, including, among others, nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; inaccuracy of representations; violation of covenants; and certain bankruptcy events. If an event of default occurs, then, subject to the Borrower’s specified cure rights, the lender may exercise all available remedies, including declaring the entire outstanding balance of the loan, including all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts, to be immediately due and payable. The loan is, however, non-recourse as to the Company and its affiliates other than, in certain circumstances, the Borrower and the Ground Lessor. The Borrower used the proceeds of the loan, together with a principal payment of $10.0 million, to repay the previous $150.0 million first mortgage loan on the property.
