5. You are receiving this notice because you may be a Holder or potential Holder of an Interest in PREIT as of the Voting Record Date. Holders of Interests are deemed to reject the Plan as a matter of law and are, thus, not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. As an Interest Holder, you will not receive a Plan Distribution, except what you may receive through the Equity Distribution, as further described below.

6. Please take further notice that the Court has ordered that all transfer agents, securities depositories, and registered and nominee holders of equity securities must serve this notice on any holder for whose benefit such registered or nominee holder holds such equity securities, down the chain of ownership for all such holders of equity securities.

TREATMENT OF EQUITY INTERESTS UNDER THE PLAN

Equity interests under the Plan are classified in three (3) Classes: Class 8A (Exiting Preferred Equity Interests, Class 8B (Existing Common Equity Interests), and Class 8C (Existing PREIT Associates LP Interests).

Under the Plan, all existing equity in PREIT as well as all OP Units (i.e., limited partnership interests in PREIT Associates, L.P.) issued to third parties will be canceled. Based on the Debtors’ financial advisor’s analysis and wholistic prepetition marketing result, the value of the Company does not exceed the aggregate amount of its Prepetition First Lien Loan and Prepetition Second Lien Loan, and, therefore, existing equity holders are not entitled to distributions. Nevertheless, to avoid the expense of protracted chapter 11 proceedings, the lenders voluntary agreed to “gift” $10 million (less certain Equity Costs³) to existing equity holders (the “Equity Distribution”),

³  “Equity Costs” under the Plan means all fees, costs and expenses incurred, owed or paid by the Debtors and/or their estates, (1) to any person, arising primarily in connection with or primarily resulting from (a) the formation or appointment of an Equity Committee, or any attempt to form or appoint an Equity Committee, (b) the Equity Distribution, (c) the Equity Distribution Allocation and/or (d) any pleadings, motions, requests, objections or other similar actions brought by holders of Existing Preferred Equity Interests or Existing Common Equity Interests (including, without limitation, in connection with any plan treatment, solicitation or valuation dispute), including, without limitation, any fees, costs and expenses associated with and resulting from any delay, dispute, objection, action, suit, claim, demand, investigation and/or proceeding of any kind, open, pending or threatened, primarily relating to any of the foregoing and (2) to any professionals to, or members of, any Equity Committee that is formed or appointed; provided however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Equity Costs shall not include any immaterial fees, costs and expenses resulting from responding to objections brought by individual holders of Existing Preferred Equity Interests or Existing Common Equity Interests in an amount not to exceed $75,000.

subject to certain conditions (the “Equity Distribution Conditions”). Based on advice from its financial advisors, the Board of Trustees of PREIT has concluded that the consideration provided to preferred and common shareholders is in effect a “gift” resulting from such voluntary agreement with the prepetition lenders that shall only be available in the event that the Equity Distribution Conditions are satisfied.

Specifically, the Plan provides that each Allowed Existing Preferred Equity Interest, Allowed Existing Common Equity Interest, and Allowed Existing PREIT Associates LP Interest will be cancelled, released and extinguished and each of the Holders thereof shall receive its Pro Rata share of the Equity Distribution being allocated to Holders of such Class of Interests pursuant to the Equity Distribution Allocation; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such Holders shall only be entitled to receive the Equity Distribution if all of the Equity Distribution Conditions are satisfied (or waived by the Requisite Consenting Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion). If less than all of the Equity Distribution Conditions are satisfied (or waived by the Requisite Consenting Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion), the Equity Distribution shall be retained by the Reorganized Debtors and each Allowed Equity Interest shall be canceled, released, and extinguished without any distribution on account of such Interest.

Distribution of the Equity Distribution is subject to the following Equity Distribution Conditions, among others (as further set forth in the Plan):

a. no official equity committee (an “Equity Committee”) is appointed by either the U.S. Trustee or the Bankruptcy Court, or, if an Equity Committee is appointed by the U.S. Trustee, such Equity Committee is disbanded within 20 days after appointment;

b. no member of the Existing Board seeks, supports or otherwise encourages the formation or appointment of an Equity Committee by either the U.S. Trustee or the Bankruptcy Court;

c. the Company promptly (a) opposes any request for the formation or appointment of an Equity Committee by either the U.S. Trustee or the Bankruptcy Court and (b) seeks the disbandment of any Equity Committee that is appointed;

d. no solicitation of votes on the Plan from holders of Existing Preferred Equity Interests or Existing Common Equity Interests is required or undertaken;

e. any dispute or proceeding brought by any Holder of any Existing Preferred Equity Interests and/or Existing Common Equity Interests regarding the mechanics or percentages of the Equity Distribution Allocation shall not result in the confirmation hearing being scheduled for, or taking place, after January 30, 2024, unless such date is waived or extended in writing by the Requisite Consenting Lenders on or before January 30, 2024 (which waiver or extension may be effected through email exchanged between counsel to the Company and counsel to the Ad Hoc Group of Lenders); and

f. the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Confirmation Order by no later than 11:59 p.m. (ET) on January 31, 2024, unless such date is (a) waived or extended in writing by the Requisite Consenting Lenders on or before January 31, 2024 (which waiver or extension may be effected through email exchanged between counsel to the Company and counsel to the Ad Hoc Group of Lenders) or (b) delayed due to (A) objections from any creditors (including, without limitation, the lenders under the Prepetition First Lien Credit Agreement or the Prepetition Second Lien Credit Agreement), (B) objections from the U.S. Trustee (provided that any such objections have not been requested or encouraged by holders of equity interests), (C) scheduling requests or requirements made by the Bankruptcy Court, or (D) strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, epidemics, pandemics, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, interruptions, or loss or malfunction of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services (for the avoidance of doubt, delays due to (x) a request by the Debtors other than in connection with clause (D) or (y) any actions by holders of Existing Preferred Equity Interests or Existing Common Equity Interests shall not be a permissible delay).

Any waiver of any Equity Distribution Condition shall be made solely by the Requisite Consenting Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion.
