(1) The derivative securities are units of Class A Limited Partnership Interest (the "Units") in PREIT Associates, L.P., the operating partnership of the issuer. The Units acquired in this transaction are redeemable beginning 9/15/2011, and the other Units held by the reporting person are generally redeemable one year after the date of issuance, in consideration for cash equal to the contemporaneous market price of shares of beneficial interest in the issuer or, at the election of the issuer, for a like number of shares of beneficial interest in the issuer, without payment of any conversion or exercise price. These Units, other than those acquired in this transaction, are currently redeemable, but have not been redeemed. The Units have no expiration date.
(2) These Units were acquired as part of the consideration for the Registrant's acquisition of interests in Bala Cynwyd Associates, L.P. from the reporting person.
(3) The holder of these securities is a Grantor Retained Annuity Trust ("GRAT") of which the reporting person is the trustee and beneficiary.
(4) These shares are held by the Non-QTIP Marital Trust U/W of Richard I. Rubin, a trust of which the reporting person is a trustee and a beneficiary. Mr. Rubin disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
