Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

In connection with the final liquidating distribution and termination of the Petrie Stores Liquidating Trust (the "Liquidating Trust") in accordance with the terms of its Liquidating Trust Agreement (the "LTA"), each as more fully described in Item 8.01 of this report, the Liquidating Trust entered into a Trust and Individual Insured's Liability Insurance Policy (the "Insurance Policies") with each of Columbia Casualty Company and the Underwriters at Lloyd's, London on February 24, 2006 (the "Policy Inception Date"). The Insurance Policies provide insurance coverage, subject to certain exclusions, for potential exposures of the Liquidating Trust and its current and former Liquidating Trustees and employees in an amount and for a term that the Liquidating Trustees believe to be sufficient to allow the Liquidating Trust to make the final liquidating distribution under the terms of the LTA. The Liquidating Trust paid aggregate premiums of $2,150,000 to obtain the Insurance Policies, and such Insurance Policies are fully paid and non-cancelable.

Item 8.01 Other Events

On March 1, 2006, the Liquidating Trust announced that it will make a final liquidating distribution on March 24, 2006 to the holders of its units of beneficial interest in the aggregate amount of $24,735,487.46 in cash, which amount represents all remaining cash and cash equivalents of the Liquidating Trust less a reserve to provide for the Liquidating Trust's final wind-up costs. In the final liquidating distribution, unit holders will receive $0.4725 in cash for each unit of beneficial interest held of record at the close of business on March 13, 2006. In accordance with the terms of the Liquidating Trust's Liquidating Trust Agreement, upon the completion of the final liquidating distribution, the Liquidating Trust's existence will terminate. At such time, the Liquidating Trust will cease to be a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The text of the press release announcing the final liquidating distribution is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
