2023 PROXY STATEMENT

Our strategic approach to managing our ESG program is rooted in our core values - driving long-term value to all stakeholders, including the communities we serve. Our portfolio reflects our commitment to sustainability and our focus on certified buildings that prioritize the health and wellbeing of employees, tenants, residents and visitors. We strive for energy efficiency in each phase of the building's life cycle, from design through construction, and commissioning through operations. For example, across 103 buildings in our portfolio, 37,600 MWh in low or no cost efficiency measures were identified. In addition, our solar portfolio, consisting of 7 carport systems, generates 4.58 MWh of energy on an annual basis. We create dynamic, people-centric spaces that inspire connection, creativity, productivity, health, and wellness. Our developments have a lasting impact on our communities, so we focus on sustainable development through our Community and Grow Philadelphia funds and investing in rail and green spaces for the community.

With the challenges and changes taking place across the globe over the last few years, Brandywine recently conducted a survey assessment to further our understanding of the ESG aspects most impactful to our business and prioritized by stakeholders. Stakeholders who participated in the survey included employees, tenants, board members, joint venture partners and vendors. Of those respondents prioritizing ESG, the most material areas identified included cyber security, equal pay, environmental compliance, health & safety, and energy management. These results will continue to inform our strategy and help to ensure that our ESG program is appropriately focused to drive value, reduce risk, and increase opportunities for success.

Office Building Operations

Our operations team continually evaluates the impact our properties have on the environment by utilizing building data to implement improvements, increase efficiencies, and create new standards to drive economies in system performance. To that end, Brandywine owns and/or manages over 13.5 million square feet of green certified space with more than 61% of its core portfolio as ENERGY STAR certified in 2022.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | Green Leasing: In 2022 Brandywine was among the select handful of companies to achieve Green Lease Leaders Platinum Level as recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Institute for Market Transformation. Brandywine incorporates key sustainability language into our leases, covering issues such as chemical use, indoor air quality, energy efficiency, water efficiency, recycling, and other strategies to drive shared cost savings that benefit both tenant and landlord. Green leases are a tool for improving the sustainability and energy-efficiency of spaces via energy-alignment benefitting both landlord and tenant.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | Green Building Certification Highlights: In 2022 Brandywine continued on its path to increase the number of buildings covered by green certifications, including LEED, WELL, Fitwel, Austin Energy Green Building, Energy Star and UL Verified Healthy Building Certifications. We have achieved green level certification for over 13.5M square feet representing approximately 56% of our portfolio. All new construction is designed to leading healthy building standards including WELL and Fitwel, with an emphasis on indoor air quality, enhanced filtration, optimal humidity levels, and access to ample natural light and dynamic outdoor spaces.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | We support trade unions through the Construction Apprenticeship Preparation Program (CAPP), growing the ranks of minorities and women in the Philadelphia area building trade unions.

To date, we have made $805,413 in low-interest loans available to struggling small, local, and minority-owned businesses.  |

---

---

| | |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | CDC Co-Development**:** we are hiring a Community Development Corporation (CDC) for each Schuylkill Yards project, allowing the CDCs to earn revenue and build capacity for their staff, to ultimately better execute projects that enhance their community-serving mission.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | Community Fund**:** we committed to contribute a $9.3 million grant to a Community Fund managed by a consortium of local community groups, which will provide capital for affordable housing and preservation initiatives, additional small business and employment programs, community capacity building, and educational support for local public schools.  |

In 2022, 100% of our employees received professional training, which equates to approximately 2,700 hours, and approximately 75% of our employees received ESG-specific training. Further and to emphasize the importance of continuous learning, Brandywine offers a tuition reimbursement program to our employees for qualifying educational programs.

We are committed to building and maintaining a Board with diverse experiences and backgrounds and our Trustees reflect diverse perspectives, including a complementary mix of skills, experiences and backgrounds that we believe are paramount to our ability to represent your interests as shareholders.

In the last five years, three new independent Trustees have been elected or appointed to the Board in replacement of three of our former Trustees. Two of our three new Trustees are self-identified women, and two are self-identified as diverse based on race or ethnicity. See "Proposal 1: Election of Trustees – Trustee; Nominees".

Beneficial Owners

If you are a shareholder whose shares are held in "street name" (i.e., in the name of a broker or other custodian), you may vote the shares at the annual meeting only if you obtain a legal proxy from the broker or other custodian giving you the right to vote the shares. Alternatively, you may have your shares voted at the meeting by following the voting instructions provided to you by your broker or custodian. Although most brokers offer voting by mail, telephone and via the Internet, availability and specific procedures will depend on their voting arrangements. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker or other custodian, your shares are referred to as "uninstructed shares." Under rules of the New York Stock Exchange, your broker or other custodian does not have discretion to vote uninstructed shares on non-routine matters, such as Proposals 1, 3, 4 and 5. Your broker or other custodian does have discretion to vote your shares on Proposal 2.

Your attendance at the meeting will not in and of itself revoke any previously delivered proxy. You must also vote your shares at the meeting. |

---

What Constitutes a Quorum?

The holders of a majority of the outstanding common shares entitled to vote at the annual meeting must be present in person via attendance by live webcast or by proxy to constitute a quorum. Unless a quorum is present at the meeting, no action may be taken at the meeting except the adjournment thereof to a later time. All valid proxies returned will be included in the determination of whether a quorum is present at the meeting. The shares of a shareholder whose ballot on any or all proposals is marked as "abstain" will be treated as present for quorum purposes. "Broker non-votes," as discussed below, will be considered as present for determining a quorum.

What Is a Broker Non-Vote?

A "broker non-vote" occurs when a broker or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner returns a properly-executed proxy but does not cast a vote on a particular proposal because the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

What Vote Is Required to Approve Each Proposal?

Voting Rights Generally. Each common share is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on at the annual meeting. Shareholders have no cumulative voting rights. The advisory votes on Proposals 3 and 4 are non-binding, as provided by law. However, our Board will review the results of the votes and, consistent with our record of shareowner engagement, will take them into account in making a determination concerning executive compensation.

Election of Trustees. Our Bylaws provide that, in an uncontested election, a nominee for Trustee is elected only if such nominee receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast for and against such nominee. The majority voting standard would not apply in contested elections, and Trustees are elected by a plurality of the votes cast in a contested election.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT

The majority voting standard will apply to the election of Trustees at the annual meeting. Accordingly, a nominee for election to the Board will be elected if such nominee receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast for and against such nominee. Broker non-votes, if any, and abstentions will not be treated as votes cast for the election of a Trustee and will have no effect on the results of the vote, although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. In the absence of specific direction, common shares represented by a proxy will be voted "FOR" the election of all nominees.

Our Bylaws provide that a Trustee nominated for re-election who fails to receive the required number of votes for re-election must tender his or her offer to resign to our Board of Trustees for its consideration. The Corporate Governance Committee will act on an expedited basis to determine whether it is advisable to accept the Trustee's resignation and will submit the recommendation for prompt consideration by our Board. Our Board will act on the tendered offer of resignation within 90 days following certification of the shareholder vote and will promptly and publicly disclose its decision. The Trustee whose offer of resignation is under consideration will abstain from participating in any decision regarding his or her offer of resignation. If the offer of resignation is not accepted, the Trustee will continue to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until the Trustee's successor is duly elected and qualified or until the Trustee's earlier resignation or removal. The Corporate Governance Committee and our Board may consider any factors they deem relevant in deciding whether to accept a Trustee's offer of resignation.

Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. Ratification of the Audit Committee's appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for calendar year 2023 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all of the votes cast on this Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes, which are not treated as votes cast, will therefore have no effect on the results of such vote. In the absence of specific direction, common shares represented by a proxy will be voted "FOR" the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm.

Non-Binding, Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation. Approval, by non-binding vote, of our executive compensation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all of the votes cast on this Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes, which are not treated as votes cast, will therefore have no effect on the results of such vote. In the absence of specific direction, common shares represented by a proxy will be voted "FOR" the approval of our executive compensation.

Non-Binding, Advisory Vote on the Frequency of an Executive Compensation Advisory Vote. The frequency of the advisory vote on our executive compensation receiving the greatest number of votes (every one, two or three years) will be considered the frequency recommended by shareholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes, which are not treated as votes cast, will therefore have no effect on the results of such vote. In the absence of specific direction, common shares represented by a proxy will be voted "FOR" a frequency of every one year.

Adoption of the 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Adoption of the 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast on this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes, which are not treated as votes cast, will therefore have no effect on the results of such vote. In the absence of specific direction, common shares represented by a proxy will be voted "FOR" the adoption of the 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

Who Counts the Votes?

We have engaged Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") as our independent agent to receive and tabulate votes. Broadridge will separately tabulate "for" and "against" votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. We have also retained an independent inspector of elections to certify the results, report on the existence of a quorum and the validity of proxies and ballots.

What Does it Mean if I Receive More Than One Proxy Card?

Some of your shares may be registered differently or are in more than one account. You should vote each of your accounts by telephone or the Internet or mail. If you mail proxy cards, please sign, date and return each proxy card to assure that all of your shares are voted. If you hold your shares in registered form and wish to combine your shareholder accounts in the future, you should contact our transfer agent, Computershare, at (888) 985-2061; outside the U.S., (781) 575-2879. Combining accounts reduces excess printing and mailing costs, resulting in savings for us that benefit you as a shareholder.

What if I Receive Only One Set of Proxy Materials Although There Are Multiple Shareholders at My Address?

If you and other residents at your mailing address own common shares you may have received a notice that your household will receive only one annual report, proxy statement and Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. If you hold common shares in street name, you may have received this notice from your broker or other custodian and the notice may apply to each company in which you hold shares through that broker or custodian. This practice of sending only one copy of proxy materials is known as "householding." We do this to conserve natural resources. If you did not respond to a timely notice that you did not want to participate in householding, you were deemed to have consented. You may revoke your consent to householding at any time by sending your name, the name of your brokerage firm, and your account number to Broadridge Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, or by calling telephone number (866) 540-7095. The revocation of your consent to householding will be effective 30 days following its receipt. If you did not receive an individual copy of this proxy statement, our annual report and Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, we will send a copy to you, free of charge, if you address your written request to Brandywine Realty Trust, 2929 Arch Street, Suite 1800, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, Attention: Shawn Neuman or by calling Mr. Neuman at (610) 832-7756. If you are receiving multiple copies of our annual report, proxy statement and Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, you may request householding by contacting Mr. Neuman in the same manner.

How Do I Submit a Shareholder Proposal for Next Year's Annual Meeting?

Shareholder proposals may be submitted for inclusion in the proxy statement for our 2024 annual meeting of shareholders in accordance with rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). See "Other Information – Proposals Pursuant to Rule 14a-8" later in this proxy statement. In addition, eligible shareholders are entitled to nominate and include in our proxy statement for our 2024 annual meeting Trustee nominees, subject to limitations and requirements in our Bylaws. See "Other Information – Proxy Access Trustee Nominees" later in this proxy statement. Any shareholder who wishes to propose any business at the 2024 annual meeting other than for inclusion in our proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 or nominees for election as Trustees pursuant to the proxy access provisions in our Bylaws, must provide timely notice and satisfy the other requirements in our Bylaws. See "Other Information – Other Proposals and Nominees" later in this proxy statement. Proposals should be sent via registered, certified, or express mail to Shawn Neuman, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, Brandywine Realty Trust, 2929 Arch Street, Suite 1800, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT

## Proposal 1: Election of Trustees
We first ask that you vote to elect to our Board each of the seven persons nominated by our Board of Trustees to serve for a term expiring at the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. Each of the seven nominees is currently a Trustee. Each nominee has agreed to be named in this Proxy Statement and to serve if elected.

We have no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling for good cause to serve if elected. However, if any nominee should become unable for any reason or unwilling for good cause to serve, proxies may be voted for another person nominated as a substitute by the Board, or the Board may reduce the number of Trustees.

Trustee Criteria, Qualifications, Experience and Tenure

We are one of the largest publicly traded, full-service, integrated real estate companies in the United States with a core focus in the Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Austin markets. Organized as a real estate investment trust (REIT), we own, develop, lease and manage principally an urban, town center and transit-oriented portfolio comprising 163 properties and approximately 23.0 million square feet as of December 31, 2022.

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Trustees. Our Corporate Governance Principles contain Board membership qualifications and we strive for a mix of skills, experience and perspectives that foster a dynamic and effective Board. In selecting nominees, the Board and its Corporate Governance Committee assess the independence, character and acumen of candidates and endeavor to establish areas of core competency of the Board, including, among others, industry knowledge and experience; management, accounting and finance expertise; and demonstrated business judgment, leadership and strategic vision. Moreover, our Board values diversity of backgrounds, experiences, ethnicity, gender, perspectives and leadership in different fields when identifying nominees.

Our Board and its Corporate Governance Committee consider Trustee tenure in making Board nomination decisions and believe that it is desirable to maintain a mix of longer-tenured, experienced Trustees and newer Trustees with fresh perspectives. We also believe that longer-tenured, experienced Trustees are a significant strength of the Board, given Brandywine's size and range of activities.

Below, we identify the key experiences, qualifications and skills our Trustee nominees bring to the Board and that the Board considers important in light of our business and industry.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | Industry Knowledge and Experience. We seek Trustees with experience as executives, directors or other leadership positions, including in commercial real estate, finance and accounting, because our success depends on acquiring, developing and leasing attractive real estate for the communities in which we have a presence, and raising and investing capital prudently to grow our portfolio with high-yielding assets. This experience is critical to the Board's ability to understand our portfolio and business, assess our competitive position within the commercial real estate markets in which we operate, assess the strengths and weaknesses of our competitors, maintain awareness of trends and innovations in commercial real estate and real estate capital markets, and evaluate potential acquisitions and our acquisition and growth strategy.  |

  BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | Management, Accounting and Finance Expertise. We believe that an understanding of management practices, finance and financial reporting processes is important for our Trustees. We value management experience as it provides a practical understanding of organizations, processes, strategies, risk management and the methods to drive change and growth that permit the Board to identify and recommend improvements to our operations, leasing and marketing approaches and portfolio strategy. A strong understanding of accounting and finance is important for ensuring the integrity of our financial reporting and critically evaluating our performance. We currently have two Trustees who qualify as audit committee financial expert and expect all of our Trustees to be financially knowledgeable.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | Business Judgment, Leadership and Strategic Vision. We believe that Trustees with experience in significant leadership positions demonstrate excellent business judgment, leadership skills and strategic vision. We seek Trustees with these characteristics as they bring special insights to Board deliberations and processes. We also believe that Trustees who have served as senior executives are in a position to challenge management and contribute practical insight into business strategy and operations. In addition, many of our Trustees have experience as directors or trustees of academic, research, nonprofit, and philanthropic institutions, and bring valuable perspectives from these experiences.  |

---

Ø Governance Expertise. A deep understanding of a corporate board's duties and responsibilities enhances Board effectiveness and ensures independent oversight that is aligned with shareholder interests.

The Board and its Corporate Governance Committee evaluate the Board's own composition in the context of the diverse experiences and perspectives that the Trustees collectively bring to the boardroom.

Their backgrounds provide the Board with vital insights in areas such as:

The experiences, qualifications and skills of each Trustee that the Board considered in his or her nomination are included below the Trustees' individual biographies on the following pages. The Board concluded that each nominee should serve as a Trustee based on the specific experience and attributes listed below each Trustees' biography and the Board's knowledge of each nominee, including the insight and collegiality each nominee is expected to bring to the Board's functions and deliberations.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT

Annual Board Evaluation Process

The Board recognizes that a robust and constructive evaluation process is an essential part of good corporate governance and board effectiveness. The evaluation processes utilized by the Board are designed and implemented under the direction of the Corporate Governance Committee and aim to assess Board and Committee effectiveness as well as individual Trustee performance and contribution levels. The Corporate Governance Committee and full Board consider the results of the annual evaluations in connection with their review of Trustee nominees to ensure the Board continues to operate effectively.

Each year, our Trustees complete governance questionnaires and self-assessments. In addition, the Chair of the Corporate Governance Committee coordinates in-depth interviews with each of the Trustees to solicit their feedback. These questionnaires and assessments and feedback from the interviews facilitate a candid assessment of: the Board's performance in areas such as business strategy, risk oversight, talent development and succession planning and corporate governance; the Board's structure, composition and culture; and the mix of skills, qualifications and experiences of our Trustees.

Trustees; Nominees

The Board, upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, has nominated each of the seven individuals identified below for election at the annual meeting and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the election of each of the nominees as Trustee. Each nominee is currently a Trustee and each nominee has agreed to serve if elected. The Trustees have no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling to be a candidate for election at the time of the annual meeting. If any nominee is unable or unwilling for good cause to serve on our Board, the persons named in the proxy will use their discretion in selecting and voting for a substitute candidate or the Board may reduce the number of Trustees. Each individual elected as a Trustee at the meeting will serve for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor is elected and qualified.

  BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST

In its assessment of Trustee independence, our Board considers all commercial, charitable and other transactions and relationships (including tenure of Board service) that any Trustee or member of his or her immediate family may have with us, with any of our affiliates, or with any of our consultants or advisers. Our Board applies the same criteria for assessing independence for purposes of each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance Committee. Furthermore, in its assessment of a Trustee's independence for service on the Compensation Committee, our Board considers all factors the Board believes specifically relevant to determining whether the Trustee has a relationship which is material to such Trustee's ability to be independent from management in connection with his or her duties as a member of the Compensation Committee, including but not limited to any compensation payable to such Trustee. In addition, no member of the Audit Committee or Compensation Committee may accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from us (other than fees for service as a Trustee and member of a Board Committee) or be an affiliate of us.

Our Board has affirmatively determined that Dr. DesRoches and Dr. Lau and Ms. Herubin and each of Messrs. Diggs, Haverstick and Pizzi is independent under the standards of the New York Stock Exchange and those set forth in our *Corporate Governance Principles* and that the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance Committee are comprised exclusively of independent Trustees.

Our Board did not determine Mr. Sweeney to be independent because of his position as our President and Chief Executive Officer.

Corporate Governance

Governance Compliance

Our policies and practices comply with the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our Board and Corporate Governance Committee regularly evaluate our corporate governance policies and practices in light of changing regulatory requirements and evolving best practices.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board believes that independent Board leadership is a critical component of our corporate governance. Mr. Sweeney is our President and Chief Executive Officer and a Trustee, and Mr. Diggs currently serves as Chair of the Board and our Lead Independent Trustee, a position he has held since 2022. As Chair and Lead Independent Trustee, Mr. Diggs presides at Board meetings and at executive sessions of non-management Trustees, oversees the agenda of Board meetings, provides guidance to our President and Chief Executive Officer as to Board views and perspectives, particularly on our strategic direction, and is available to shareholders and other parties interested in communicating with our non-management Trustees.

As President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Sweeney is responsible for our day-to-day operations, engaging with shareholders and external constituents, developing our future leaders and executing our strategy. The Board believes that its leadership structure, when combined with the composition of the Board, the strong leadership of our non-management Trustees, Board committees, Chair and Lead Independent Trustee, and our corporate governance structures and processes in place, (i) achieves independent oversight and evaluation of our senior management; (ii) assures effective communication between the Board and senior management on corporate strategy; and (iii) fosters effective decision-making and accountability.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT

The Board maintains processes that provide it with opportunities to examine and reassess the effectiveness of our Board leadership structure, including the performance of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chair and Lead Independent Trustee. These topics are reviewed through annual evaluations, under the oversight of our Corporate Governance Committee.

Our Board believes that our Bylaws and Corporate Governance Principles help ensure that strong and independent Trustees continue to play the central oversight role necessary to maintain our commitment to good corporate governance. Under our Articles of Amendment and Restatement of Declaration of Trust, Bylaws and Corporate Governance Principles, our Board maintains the following practices, in addition to those described above:

---

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Trustees stand for election annually by&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; majority vote. | Under our Articles of Amendment and Restatement of Declaration of Trust, all Trustees are elected annually. In addition, our Bylaws require that we use a majority-voting standard in uncontested Trustee elections in which a Trustee nominee must receive more votes cast "for" than "against" in order to be elected.<br>|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Trustees regularly interact with management. | Consistent with our philosophy of empowering each member of our Board, each Trustee has complete and open access to any member of management and to the Chair of each Board committee for the purpose of discussing any matter related to the work of such committee.<br>|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Our Trustees are encouraged to engage with shareholders.<br>| If any of our major shareholders asks to speak with any Trustee on a matter related to the Company, we encourage that Trustee to make himself or herself available and we will facilitate such interaction. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Our independent Trustees hold regular executive sessions.<br>| Our independent Trustees meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management present. The Board Chair and Lead Independent Trustee presides at these meetings. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Our Trustees can request special Board meetings.<br>| Special meetings of the Board can be called by the Board Chair and Lead Independent Trustee or President and Chief Executive Officer or by a majority of the Trustees. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Bylaws provide shareholders a meaningful proxy access right. | Our Bylaws provide shareholders a meaningful proxy access right and include the following terms: 3% ownership threshold and 3-year holding period requirement; a cap on the number of Trustee nominees at two or 25%, whichever is greater; and a shareholder group aggregation limit of 25.<br>|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Our Bylaws provide shareholders a right to call a special meeting.<br>| Our Bylaws provide holders of 10% or more of all of the votes entitled to be cast the right to call a special meeting, subject to the terms of our Bylaws. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Bylaws may be amended by our shareholders. | Our shareholders have the power to adopt, amend, alter or repeal any provision of our Bylaws, and to make new Bylaws, by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.<br>|

Talent Development; Succession Planning; Board Refreshment

Assisted by our Corporate Governance Committee, our Board assesses succession planning and talent development for key executives and company leadership. Assessments focus on succession in the event of the unexpected incapacity of our President and Chief Executive Officer as well as on talent development for key executives. Our *Corporate Governance Principles* provide that our President and Chief Executive Officer should at all times make available to the Board, on a confidential basis, his recommendations and evaluations of potential successors. Fundamentally, the Board's executive succession planning is a continuous, interactive process that takes into account the Company's operating plans and strategic goals and that seeks to attract, develop and retain a talent-rich pool of executives.

In addition, we are committed to Board succession planning and recognize the value in adding Trustees with new perspective to the Board. The Board review process involves discussion and planning for both Trustee succession and Board Committee rotation. By developing and following a long-range succession plan, the Board has an ongoing opportunity to: (i) evaluate the depth and diversity of experience of our Board; (ii) expand and replace key skills, qualifications and experiences that support our strategies; (iii) build on our record of Board diversity; and (iv) maintain a balanced mix of tenures. Three of our seven Trustee nominees will have tenures of five years or fewer upon their election at the annual meeting and our Board composition reflects our commitment to racial and gender diversity, diversity of skills and experiences and diversity of perspectives.

Trustee Orientation and Continuing Education

We provide our Trustees with comprehensive orientation and continuing education, which is oversee by our Corporate Governance Committee. Trustee orientation familiarizes new Trustees with our business and strategic plans, significant financial, accounting and risk management issues, compliance programs, policies and controls , and our principal officers. The orientation also addresses Board procedures, Board Committees and Committee charters and our Corporate Governance Principles. Our Corporate Governance Principles formalize our support for Trustee participation in continuing education sessions on business-related topics, corporate governance developments, SEC initiatives and regulatory changes, and other current topics, such as cyber security, pertinent to our Board and Board Committees. Our Corporate Governance Principles formalize our support for Trustee participation in continuing education sessions on business-related topics, corporate governance developments, SEC initiatives and regulatory changes, and other current topics such as cyber security, including issues pertinent to our Board Committees.

Prohibition on Classification of Board without Shareholder Approval Repealing Opt-out of Classified Board Provision of Maryland's Unsolicited Takeovers Act

Our Board has adopted a resolution prohibiting us from electing to be subject to the classified board provision of Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL") without a shareholder vote. Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL is commonly referred to as the Maryland Unsolicited Takeovers Act, or MUTA. As a result of our opt-out, the Board is prohibited from becoming classified under Section 3-803 of the MGCL unless a proposal to repeal that prohibition is approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast on the matter by our shareholders entitled to vote generally in the election of trustees.

Shareholder Outreach and Engagement

We value the views of our shareholders and regularly solicit input from them throughout the year, including through meetings with members of management, on topics such as portfolio strategy, capital allocation, corporate liquidity, the effects the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our business, including tenant collections, occupancy levels, leasing activity and rental rates, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility. Our direct shareholder engagement is in addition to our customary participation at industry and investment community conferences, investor road shows, and analyst meetings. We also respond to individual shareholders who provide feedback about our business, and we remain committed to robust engagement as a cornerstone of our corporate governance. In 2022, we met with approximately 92 institutional investors, held six analyst meetings, conducted several investor meetings and property tours, and attended multiple investor conferences.

They are also prohibited from pledging our shares as collateral for loans.

Code of Conduct

We maintain a *Code of Business Conduct and Ethics* ("Code"), which is available on our website (<u>www.brandywinerealty.com</u>), and is applicable to our Trustees, officers and employees.

We also notify our vendors annually of our commitment to the highest ethical standards and the restrictions in our Code on improper payments and gratuities to our personnel.

Hotline Submissions

Our Audit Committee has established procedures, set forth in our *Code of Business Conduct and Ethics*, for the submission of complaints about our accounting or auditing matters. There is a hotline for anonymous concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. Any financial matters reported through the hotline will be reported to the Chair of our Audit Committee. Our current hotline number is (844) 848-6595.

Availability of Committee Charters; Corporate Governance Principles; Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; Vendor Code of Conduct and Ethics; and Human Rights Policy

Board Oversight of Strategy and Board's Role in Risk Oversight

One of the Board's primary responsibilities is overseeing management's establishment and execution of our corporate strategy and the associated risks. The full Board oversees strategy and strategic risk through robust and constructive engagement with management, taking into consideration our key priorities, national and regional trends impacting our business and disruptors to our business. The Board's oversight of our strategy primarily occurs through extensive annual and quarterly reviews of our strategic plans. During these reviews, management provides the Board with its view of the key commercial and strategic risks and opportunities that we face; and the Board provides management with feedback on whether management has identified the key risks and opportunities and is taking appropriate responsive actions. In addition to annual and quarterly reviews, because our strategic initiatives are subject to rapidly evolving business dynamics, the Board regularly receives updates on key strategic initiatives throughout the year to ensure progress is being made against goals, understand where adjustments or refinements to strategy may be appropriate and stay current on issues impacting the business.

Our Board as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, with reviews of certain areas being conducted by the relevant Board Committees that report on their deliberations to the Board. The oversight responsibility of the Board and its Committees is enabled by management reporting processes that are designed to provide visibility to the Board about the identification, assessment and management of critical risks and management's risk mitigation strategies. These areas of focus include competitive, economic, operational, financial (accounting, credit, liquidity and tax), legal, regulatory, compliance, cybersecurity and data privacy, health, safety and reputational risks. The Board and its Committees oversee risks associated with their respective principal areas of focus, as summarized below.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Primary Areas of Risk Oversight**<br>|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Audit Committee | Risks and exposures associated with financial matters, particularly financial reporting, accounting, disclosure, internal control over financial reporting, tax (including compliance with REIT rules), cybersecurity and data privacy, financial policies, investment guidelines, development and leasing, and credit and liquidity matters.<br>|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Compensation Committee&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; | Risks and exposures associated with executive compensation programs and arrangements, including risks of inappropriate behavior related to incentive compensation plans. See "Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Additional Compensation Information - Compensation and Risks."<br>|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Corporate Governance Committee | Risks and exposures associated with leadership, succession planning and talent development; ESG policies and practices; and corporate governance policies and procedures.<br>|

Board Oversight of Cybersecurity and Date Privacy

Information security and privacy are of utmost importance to us to maintain the trust and confidence of our shareholders, tenants, employees and other stakeholders. Our Board recognizes that cybersecurity and data privacy represent a critical component of our risk oversight program. The Audit Committee, which has primary oversight of risks relating to our information technology and security programs, and senior management receive and review quarterly reports on cybersecurity and data privacy from our Chief Technology and Innovation Officer, including reports on documented incidents or violations of our information technology and security policies. Documented incidents or violations are discussed, and managers are notified for the appropriate follow-up with our Human Resources department or the employees involved in such incidents or violations, as needed. Depending on the policy incident or violation, one or more

2023 PROXY STATEMENT

of several actions are considered, including: a verbal discussion between the manager and employee involved, additional training or retraining on specific cybersecurity topics, disciplinary action depending on the frequency or severity of the incident or violation and, if a data breach were to have occurred, disclosure to the Audit Committee and, as warranted, the full Board. Although we have not experienced a data or other cybersecurity breach in the past three years, management regularly reviews with our Audit Committee our information technology and security programs and our policies and controls to address current and emerging threats.

Our training programs encompass proactive education modules, as well as reactive anti-phishing and testing modules designed to test the end-user's ability to put into practice what he or she has learned. Trainings are required annually for each employee and are monitored to ensure the most relevant and up to date information is presented to the employee base. Results of these tests are then provided to senior management for review and, as warranted, follow-on actions.

Board Oversight of ESG

Our Board recognizes that ESG is another critical component of our risk oversight program. Oversight of ESG risks is provided by our Corporate Governance Committee, which has tasked management with continuously reviewing ESG risk exposures and presenting risk analyses to the Committee and Board regularly. These efforts are led by our Senior Vice President of Operations and Sustainability, who, together with our executive leadership, drive our ESG strategy and associated goals, risks and opportunities. ESG risks include, but are not limited to:

• Physical risks to our properties of climate change;

• Transitional risks of climate change, such as increasing energy costs, compliance and building regulations, and loss of tenant relationships as a result of lack of preparation; and

• Social risks, including those pertaining to employee health and wellbeing, employee engagement, employee safety and diversity and inclusion.

Disclosure Committee

We maintain an internal Disclosure Committee consisting of certain members of our executive management and senior employees. Our Disclosure Committee meets at least quarterly to bring together representatives from our core business lines and employees involved in the preparation of our financial statements so that the group may discuss any issues of which the members are aware that should be considered for disclosure in our public SEC filings. Our Disclosure Committee reports to our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Trustee Nominations

In making its recommendations as to nominees for election to our Board, the Corporate Governance Committee may consider, in its sole judgment, recommendations of our President and Chief Executive Officer, other Trustees, shareholders and third parties. The Corporate Governance Committee may also retain third-party search firms to identify candidates. Shareholders desiring to recommend nominees should submit their recommendations in writing to our Board Chair, c/o Brandywine Realty Trust, 2929 Arch Street, Suite 1800, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104. Recommendations from shareholders should include pertinent information as specified in our Bylaws concerning the proposed nominee's background and experience.

Our Board's *Corporate Governance Principles* set forth qualifications for Trustee nominees. Qualifications include:

Ø personal ethics, integrity and values;

Ø inquiring and independent mind;

Ø practical wisdom and mature judgment;

Ø broad training and experience at the policy-making level in business, government, education or technology;

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | willingness to devote the required amount of time to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of Board membership;  |

---

Ø commitment to serve on the Board over a period of years in order to develop knowledge about our operations; and

Ø involvement in activities or interests that do not create a conflict with the nominee's responsibilities to us and our shareholders.

The Corporate Governance Committee also considers such other factors as it deems appropriate, including the current composition of the Board. The Committee and Board believe that Board membership should reflect diversity in its broadest sense, including persons diverse in skills, background, gender and ethnicity. The Committee has not adopted a formal policy for the consideration of diversity in identifying candidates for the Board. The Committee and Board also consider the bearing of each Trustee's tenure, and the tenure of the Board as a whole, on the Board's mix of skills and experience, independence and access to new and diverse perspectives. The Committee has not adopted different criteria for considering a candidate for nomination to the Board based on whether the party making nomination is a Trustee, shareholder or third party.

If the Committee decides, on the basis of its preliminary review of a candidate, to proceed with further consideration of the candidate, members of the Committee and the Board interview the candidate. After completing its evaluation, the Committee makes a recommendation to the full Board, which makes the final determination whether to nominate or appoint the candidate as a new Trustee. Our President and Chief Executive Officer, as a Trustee, participates in the Board's determination.

As discussed above under "Corporate Governance - Proxy Access," our Bylaws provide for proxy access. Proxy access enables eligible shareholders to include their nominees for election as trustees in our proxy materials for annual meetings. The proxy access provisions of our Bylaws permit up to 25 shareholders owning at least three percent of our common shares continuously for three years to nominate up to the greater of (i) two and (ii) 25 percent of the number of Trustees then serving. The complete text of our Bylaws is available on our website (<u>www.brandywinerealty.com</u>).

Depending on the subject matter, management will:

Ø forward the communication to the Trustee or Trustees to whom it is addressed (for example, if the communication received deals with questions or complaints regarding accounting, it will be forwarded by management to the Chair of our Audit Committee for review);

Ø attempt to handle the inquiry directly (for example, where the communication is a request for information about us or our operations that does not appear to require direct attention by the Board or an individual Trustee); or

Ø not forward the communication if it is primarily commercial in nature or relates to an improper or irrelevant topic.

At each meeting of the Board, the Chair of the Board will present a summary of all communications (if any) received since the last meeting of the Board that were not forwarded and will make those communications available to any Trustee upon request.

Meetings of Trustees and Annual Meeting of Shareholders

Our Board of Trustees held 5 meetings in 2022. In 2022, each incumbent Trustee attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board and meetings held by all committees on which he or she served, except for Mr. Joyce due to illness and his death on November 19, 2022. In addition, our Board holds informational sessions with our President and Chief Executive Officer. During 2022, the Board held 11 informational sessions. Our non-management Trustees also hold regular meetings without management. During 2022, our non-management Trustees held 2 such meetings.

Key 2022 Executive Compensation Actions

**Annual Incentives.** Consistent with prior years, the corporate scorecard used for our 2022 annual incentive plan was tied to goals relating to our operations (20%), leasing (30%) and capital investments and balance sheet strength (50%). Performance goals for the 2022 scorecard were established in the first quarter of 2022. Performance against the scorecard was achieved at 104% of the target.

**Long-Term Incentives.** Our long-term incentive plan is designed to align management and shareholder interests, drive long-term value creation, and attract and retain key executive talent. For 2022, one-third of a NEO's annual long-term incentive opportunity was delivered in the form of restricted share rights that vest in equal proportions over three years. These 2022 restricted shares rights also have an outperformance feature attached that could increase the original award up to 200% based on Brandywine's achievement of superior results for average funds from operations (FFO) growth and aggregate investment activity, weighted equally, during the three-year period ending December 31, 2024. Two-thirds of a NEO's annual long-term incentive opportunity was delivered in the form of performance share units ("PSUs") that may be earned based on our three-year total shareholder return versus the component members (excluding ourselves) of the FTSE NAREIT Equity Office Index.

**CEO Compensation.** After no change to Mr. Sweeney's base salary for several years, the Compensation Committee increased Mr. Sweeney's base salary by 6.7% in 2022, from $750,000 to $800,000. The Committee made no change to Mr. Sweeney's target annual incentive and target long-term incentive opportunities as a percentage of base salary. These amounts remained at 200% and 450% of base salary, respectively. As a result, Mr. Sweeney's target total compensation increased 6.7%, from $5,625,000 to $6,000,000.

**2022 Say on Pay Vote.** The Company values shareholder perspectives on our executive compensation program. As part of the Compensation Committee's annual review of the program, it considers the outcome of the Company's annual shareholder advisory vote ("say-on-pay") on the compensation of the Company's NEOs. Approximately 96% of the advisory votes cast in 2022 were in favor of our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee believes that this vote is indicative of our shareholders' support of our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee will continue to consider shareholder feedback and the outcome of the Company's say-on-pay votes when making future NEO compensation decisions.

Our Compensation Committee oversees and administers the Company's executive compensation program. Our executive compensation program is designed to support our performance-based culture and the creation of value for our shareholders. The Compensation Committee is guided by the following key principles when making compensation-related decisions:

Ø Encourage the achievement of annual and long-term business and human resource objectives that support the creation of shareholder value;

Ø Attract, retain, and motivate top caliber talent;

Ø Enhance retention; and

Ø Encourage executives to achieve superior performance without excessive risk taking.

III. Oversight of Executive Compensation

Committee Authority

Our Compensation Committee's responsibilities include:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | Approving the goals and objectives relating to our President and Chief Executive Officer's compensation, evaluating the performance of our President and Chief Executive Officer in light of such goals and objectives, and setting the compensation of our President and Chief Executive Officer based on this evaluation;  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | Approving the compensation of our other executive officers either (i) with the title Executive Vice President, (ii) with the title Senior Vice President or Vice President, in either case who hold a position as Managing Director, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel or Chief Administrative Officer or (iii) who report directly to our President and Chief Executive Officer, taking into account the recommendation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and such other information as the Committee believes appropriate;  |

---

Ø Administering our equity incentive plans, including granting equity-based awards under these plans and determining the terms of such awards;

Ø Retaining and terminating, in its sole discretion, third party consultants to assist in the evaluation of Trustee and executive compensation (with sole authority to approve any such consultant's fees and other terms of engagement); and

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | Assessing the appropriate structure and amount of compensation for our Trustees.  |

---

Our Compensation Committee's charter does not authorize the Compensation Committee to delegate any of its responsibilities (including authority to grant equity-based awards) to other persons, and the Compensation Committee has not delegated any of its responsibilities to other persons.

Compensation Consultants

Our Compensation Committee recognizes the importance of objective, independent expertise and advice in carrying out its responsibilities. The Compensation Committee continues to retain Pay Governance LLC as its consultant. Our Compensation Committee selected Pay Governance as its consultant because of its expertise and reputation. Neither we nor our Trustees or executive officers have any affiliation with Pay Governance or its executives and the engagement and direction of Pay Governance have been solely through our Compensation Committee.

During 2022, Pay Governance advised our Compensation Committee on executive compensation matters, plan design, industry trends and practices, and our pay-for performance alignment, including as measured relative to peers and relative to our total shareholder returns. As directed by the Committee, the consultants prepared analyses for the Committee relating to all aspects of the compensation of our executives. They advised the Committee on market practices regarding executive compensation, including annual incentive awards and long-term incentive pay, and reviewed our peer group and the market positioning of the compensation provided to our current NEOs and other senior executives. The consultants meet privately with the Committee and individual Committee members from time to time to plan for Committee meetings and discuss executive compensation matters. Pay Governance does not provide other services to us.

  BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST

Our Compensation Committee received a letter from Pay Governance regarding its independence and assessed the independence of Pay Governance under New York Stock Exchange rules and concluded that Pay Governance's work for the Committee does not raise any conflict of interest. Factors considered by the Committee include: (i) whether other services are provided to us by Pay Governance or its representatives; (ii) the amount of fees received by Pay Governance from us as a percentage of Pay Governance's total revenue; (iii) policies of Pay Governance designed to prevent conflicts of interest; (iv) the absence of any business or personal relationship of representatives of Pay Governance or its representatives with a member of the Committee; (v) whether Pay Governance or its advisors to the Committee own any of our securities; and (vi) whether Pay Governance or its representatives have any business or personal relationship with any of our executive officers.

Role of Executives

Our Compensation Committee seeks the views of our President and Chief Executive Officer in setting and administering our executive compensation programs. In particular, at the beginning of each year, Mr. Sweeney oversees the development of proposed corporate goals for purposes of annual incentive compensation. These goals are derived from our corporate business plan and are selected to reinforce and enhance achievement of our operating and growth objectives. The Compensation Committee reviews these goals with Mr. Sweeney, adopts revisions it deems appropriate and determines the final goals for compensation.

Following the end of each year, Mr. Sweeney reviews with the Compensation Committee, at several meetings, the achievement of corporate performance goals and the performance of each other current named executive officer and presents his evaluation of such executive officer's performance to the Committee. Decisions about individual compensation elements and total compensation are made by the Committee, using its judgment, focusing primarily on each current named executive officer's performance as well as our overall performance. With respect to the non-quantitative performance measures applicable to our executives, the Committee relies heavily on the views of Mr. Sweeney (other than as to himself). As President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Sweeney oversees the day-to-day performance of the other current named executive officers. As such, our Compensation Committee believes that he is well positioned to evaluate their performance and make recommendations as to their overall compensation.

In addition to the role played by our President and Chief Executive Officer, our other executive officers furnish such industry data and legal and financial analyses as the Committee requests from time to time.

IV. 2022 Executive Compensation

Use of Peer Group Data

Our Compensation Committee, in consultation with its compensation consultant, developed a peer group as a frame of reference for our executive compensation. Our Compensation Committee selects companies for inclusion in the peer group that primarily acquire, sell, develop, lease and manage sizeable office real estate portfolios. In selecting companies, the Committee also considers their equity and total capitalization and geographic location as well as third party considerations (for example, where members of the financial community treat a particular company as being a Company peer). Our Compensation Committee has not selected or excluded companies from the peer group on account of their compensation practices. Our Compensation Committee believes that peer group data are an indicator of compensation opportunities at companies that might recruit our executives and the data therefore help the Committee set compensation at competitive levels. Our Compensation Committee also believes that peer group data provide perspective on performance measurement practices and linkages between pay and performance. The Committee does not set specific pay targets or otherwise engage in formal "benchmarking" of compensation of our executives against executives at peer

2023 PROXY STATEMENT

group companies. The Committee does, however, attempt to set total compensation for each current named executive near the middle of the peer group data while allowing for the possibility of greater or lesser compensation based upon our corporate and individual performance.

Our Compensation Committee reviews our peer group at least annually. Following the completion of our annual peer group review for 2022, the Compensation Committee removed Columbia Property Trust, Inc. due to it ceasing to be publicly traded as of September 2021. Accordingly, the peer group used for competitive pay studies included:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| ●  | Corporate Office Properties Trust Inc. | ● | Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. |
| ●  | Cousins Properties Inc. | ● | Kilroy Realty Corp. |
| ●  | Douglas Emmett, Inc. | ● | Paramount Group, Inc. |
| ●  | Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. | ● | Piedmont Office Realty Trust Inc. |
| ●  | Equity Commonwealth | ● | Veris Residential, Inc. |
| ●  | Highwoods Properties, Inc. | ● | Washington Real Estate Investment Trust |

---

For 2023, the Compensation Committee removed Veris Residential, Inc. and Washington Real Estate Investment Trust from the peer group, as each is no longer an office-centric REIT.

Base Salary

Base salary represents the fixed portion of an executive's compensation and provides a regular stream of income and financial security. In setting base salaries, our Compensation Committee considers the responsibilities, skills, experience and performance of the executives and relies heavily on the views of our President and Chief Executive Officer as to the impact, contribution and expertise of our executives (except in the case of himself and his compensation). In setting base salaries, our Compensation Committee also considers the linkage of base salaries to the elements of our compensation that are tied to base salaries (such as severance and change in control benefits and annual and long-term incentive targets that are computed as a multiple of base salary). As part of the annual compensation process, the Committee may adjust base salaries to reflect changes in market data or in an executive's responsibilities, skills, experience and performance.

For 2022, the base salaries of our current NEOs were adjusted as reflected in the table below:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **2021 Base Salary** | **2022 Base Salary** | **&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% Increase&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;** |

|  William D. Redd | $380000 | $400000 | 5.3%&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; |

---

(1) The Compensation Committee decided to increase Mr. Sweeney's base salary in 2022 to more closely align it with market medians. Mr. Sweeney's base salary was last adjusted in 2018.

Annual Incentive Awards

Annual incentive awards are designed to reward executives for achievement of annual performance goals linked to the achievement of our annual company goals. Each year our Compensation Committee establishes a target amount for annual incentive awards for each executive, with the target amount expressed as a percentage of the executive's base salary. The targeted amounts take into account all factors that the Committee deems relevant, including the input of Pay Governance as to competitive compensation levels, the recommendation of our President and Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to his own target), responsibilities of the executives and the Committee's view of market conditions.

2022 target percentages for annual incentive awards for NEOs were as follows (which were unchanged from 2021 target percentages):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **2022 Target Award as a % of Base Salary** |
|  Gerard H. Sweeney | 200% |
|  Thomas E. Wirth | 100% |
| H. Jeffrey DeVuono | 100% |
|  George D. Johnstone | 100% |
|  William D. Redd | 100% |

2022 Annual Incentive Performance Goals and Outcomes

Payouts under the 2022 annual incentive are determined primarily with reference to our achievement of corporate performance goals related to operations, leasing and capital management, which we believe are key drivers of value for our shareholders. We refer to this array of performance goals as our "corporate scorecard." The scorecard is established by the Compensation Committee annually, in the first quarter of year. Performance goals are established based on the prevailing operating environment, our associated business plan, and external guidance provided to investors. Specifically, 2022 annual incentive performance goals reflected the ongoing challenges in the Office REIT sector and broader macroeconomic environment that directly impacted the real estate market. As such, performance goals may be below prior year targets for some metrics while still representing challenging goals, reflective of industry and Company expectations in light of the ongoing operating environment. The 2022 scorecard is shown below, including actual performance outcomes and the resulting payout percentages.

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) before non-controlling interests of unit holders (preferred and common) and excluding gains (losses) on sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses on depreciable consolidated real estate, impairment losses on investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with GAAP); plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Net income, the GAAP measure that we believe to be most directly comparable to FFO, includes depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses on sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses on depreciable consolidated real estate, impairment losses on investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures, extraordinary items and non-controlling interests. To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as presented in the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. FFO does not represent cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash available for distribution, or CAD, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not intended as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as determined under GAAP. CAD is presented in our investor presentations solely as a supplemental disclosure with respect to liquidity because we believe it provides useful information regarding our ability to fund our distributions. Because other companies do not necessarily calculate CAD the same way as we do, our presentation of CAD may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies. For purposes of the scorecard, our Compensation Committee adjusts CAD to reflect intra-year capital markets and other transaction activity not taken into account in the initial scorecard metric.

(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOI, or net operating income, is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income available to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, plus corporate general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, non-controlling interests and losses from early extinguishment of debt, less interest income, development and management income, gains from property dispositions, gains on sale from discontinued operations, gains on early extinguishment of debt, income from discontinued operations, income from unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interests. In some cases, we also present NOI on a cash basis, which is NOI after eliminating the effect of straight-lining of rent and deferred market intangible amortization. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity or ability to make cash distributions to shareholders. Our same store portfolio generally consists of those properties that we owned for the entirety of each of the periods being compared, but for purposes of the scorecard, our Compensation Committee adjusted the same store portfolio to exclude termination fees, bad debt expense and other income. Refer to Appendix A to this proxy statement for a reconciliation of our 2022 same store NOI to our 2022 net income available to common shareholders.

(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revenue maintaining capital expenditures are a component of our CAD calculation and represent the portion of capital expenditures required to maintain our current level of cash available for distribution. Revenue maintaining capital expenditures include current tenant improvement and allowance expenditures for all tenant spaces that have been owned for at least one year, and that were not vacant during the twelve-month period prior to the date that the tenant improvement or allowance expenditure was incurred. Revenue maintaining capital expenditures also include other expenditures intended to maintain our current revenue base. Accordingly, we exclude capital expenditures related to development and redevelopment projects, as well as certain projects at our core properties that are intended to attract prospective tenants in order to increase revenues and/or occupancy rates.

(5)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While the table above affords equal weighting to the four performance measures in the capital category, these weightings are not fixed. The Compensation Committee reserves discretion to vary the weight afforded to each of these measures, to appropriately emphasize the factors most important to the Company's effective deployment of capital under prevailing conditions, as determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time.

(6)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ratio of Net Debt to EBITDA excludes capital market transaction items.

The foregoing include various non-GAAP measures. Please see Appendix A for reconciliation of those measures to our published financial statements.

Our annual incentive program reserves to the Compensation Committee the right to adjust the overall corporate scorecard outcome upward or downward by 25% to reflect the Compensation Committee's subject evaluation of our performance in matters such as strategic accomplishments or our performance relative to peer companies. The annual incentive program also reserves to the Compensation Committee the right to adjust any individual NEO's annual incentive payout, based on the Compensation Committee's subjective evaluation of that executive's individual performance and/or the performance of any business unit, function or region managed by that executive. Mr. Sweeney's performance is evaluated solely by the Compensation Committee. The Committee also evaluates the individual performance of other NEOs after receiving recommendations from Mr. Sweeney. While the Compensation Committee does not often make significant discretionary adjustments to individual annual incentive payouts, the Compensation Committee views its discretionary authority as a tool to ensure individual accountability.

2022 Annual Incentive Payouts

After reviewing the 104% formulaic result of the corporate scorecard, the Compensation Committee rounded that amount to 105% and deemed that amount to be the default level of attainment for NEOs. Then, after considering the individualized recommendations of our CEO, the Compensation Committee approved 2022 annual incentive payouts to each NEO in the amounts shown in the table below. The approved amounts were paid in cash to each NEO in the first quarter of 2023.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT

Equity-Based Long-Term Incentive Compensation

Consistent with our compensation objectives, our equity-based long-term incentive program is designed to assist us in attracting and retaining high quality executives, while tying a significant portion of compensation to our financial performance, principally in the case of this program to our total shareholder return. For the awards made in March 2022, the Compensation Committee, after consultation with Pay Governance, determined target long-term incentive award values for each executive officer as set forth below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| <br> **Name**<br>| <br> 2022 TARGET LTI AWARD AS A % OF BASE SALARY<br>|
|  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gerard H. Sweeney | 450% |
|  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thomas E. Wirth | 250% |
|  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;H. Jeffrey DeVuono | 220% |
|  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;George D. Johnstone | 220% |
|  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;William D. Redd | 220% |

---

2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan Design

Consistent with prior years, equity-based awards for executive officers in 2022 are intended to address both the long-term performance and retention objectives of our equity compensation philosophy, delivered as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | Equity-based long-term incentive awards are delivered as a mix of two-thirds performance share units ("PSUs") and one-third time-vesting restricted share rights. The target number of PSUs and the number of restricted share rights for each executive are each determined by dividing the allocable portion of his target LTI value by the trailing average closing price of our common shares for the ten trading days immediately preceding the grant date.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | PSUs which may be earned based on our total shareholder return relative to the component members (excluding ourselves) of the FTSE NAREIT Equity Office Index for the period beginning on the grant date (March 3, 2022) and ending December 31, 2024. If the Company's total shareholder return during the measurement period is negative, the maximum number of PSUs that may be earned notwithstanding relative to total shareholder return achievement above the target level is limited to 100% of the target level. Starting with 2022 awards, dividend equivalents are not credited on PSUs.  |

---

Ø Restricted share rights generally vest in equal proportions over three years subject to continued employment with the Company; which the Committee believes enhances executive officer retention. Dividend equivalents are paid on the restricted shares rights over the vesting period.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | The restricted shares rights also include an outperformance modifier attached that can increase the original award up to 200% based on Brandywine's achievement of superior results for two performance measures during the three-year period ending December 31, 2024.  |

---

Ø Awards are subject to accelerated vesting or settlement upon death, disability, involuntary termination or qualifying retirement, as further described below under "Vesting and Forfeiture Provisions".

2022 Restricted Share Rights Outperformance Modifier

The restricted shares right awards include an outperformance modifier that can increase the original award up to 200% based on Brandywine's achievement of superior results for average funds from operations (FFO) growth and aggregate investment activity, weighted equally, during the three-year period ending December 31, 2024. These goals are intentionally ambitious and their achievement was not considered probable on the date of grant.

  BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST

Half of any additional shares earned under this outperformance feature will vest based on continued service through each of January 1, 2025 and January 1, 2026, provided that this additional service requirement will be waived in the event of a death, disability or qualifying retirement. In the case of death, disability or qualifying retirement prior to December 31, 2024, the opportunity to earn additional shares under the outperformance feature will remain in effect, but the number of additional shares earned at the conclusion of the performance period (if any) will be pro-rated to reflect the fraction of the performance period actually worked.

Dividend equivalents on any additional shares earned under the outperformance feature will be credited in cash, but only with respect to dividends paid following the end of the applicable performance period and will be subject to the same vesting and payment terms as the shares to which they relate.

2022-2024 Performance Share Unit Award Terms

Our PSUs may be earned based on the percentile rank of our total shareholder return relative to the other members of the FTSE NAREIT Equity Office Index for the period beginning on the grant date (March 3, 2022) and ending December 31, 2024. The payout scale for the 2022-2024 performance period is presented below and is unchanged from the 2021-2023 program:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| <br> Percentile Rank<br>| PSU Payout % |
|  <br> 75th Percentile and above<br>| 200% |
|  <br> 50th Percentile<br>| 100% |
|  <br> 25th Percentile<br>| 50% |
|  <br> Below 25th Percentile<br>| 0% |

---

Vesting and Forfeiture Provisions

Equity awards that remain unvested upon the holder's termination of employment with us will vest or be forfeited depending on the reason for the termination. The table below summarizes these provisions:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  <br> **Reason for Termination**<br>| <br> **Effect on Awards**<br>|
| Voluntary Termination by Executive not eligible for Qualifying Retirement (1) | ● Forfeit |
| Change in Control | ● Early measurement for outperformance component of restricted common share awards ("outperformance shares"), with earned outperformance shares remaining subject to time vesting requirements<br>● Early measurement and payout for PSUs<br>● Restricted common share rights (including any earned but unvested outperformance shares) vest and shares are delivered if an involuntary termination occurs within one year |
| Death or Disability | ● Performance period for outperformance shares remains open, with payout at the end of performance period (pro-rated based on the portion of the period actually served)<br>● Early measurement and payout for PSUs<br>● Restricted common share rights vest and shares are delivered (including any previously earned but unvested outperformance shares) |

*(1)* *Qualifying Retirement means an executive's voluntary termination of employment after reaching age 57 and accumulating at least 15 years of service with us. Four of our current named executive officers, Mr. Sweeney, Mr. Johnstone, Mr. Redd and Mr. DeVuono, have met the conditions to elect a qualifying retirement as of the date of this proxy statement. Mr. Wirth becomes retirement eligible in December 2024* 

2020-2022 Performance Share Unit Award Outcomes

For the 2020-2022 period, our -48.7% total shareholder return ranked at the 36th percentile of the FTSE NAREIT Equity Office Index (excluding us), resulting in a payout of 2020-2022 PSUs at 72% of target. This resulted in the named executive officers earning the number of units shown below:

2020-2022 Outperformance Modifier Outcomes

The 2020 restricted shares right awards included an outperformance modifier that could have increased the number of shares issuable under those awards by up to 200% based on our achievement of superior results for average same store cash NOI growth<sup>3</sup> and aggregate investment activity<sup>4</sup>, weighted equally, during the three-year period ending December 31, 2022.

The performance and payout scale for average same store cash NOI growth is shown below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Average Same Store Cash NOI Growth Percentage** | **Percentage of Component Earned** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Less than 6.15% | 0% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.15% | 50% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.65% | 100% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.15% or more | 200% |

---

For performance between 6.15% and 6.65%, or between 6.65% and 7.15%, the payout earned would have been determined by straight line interpolation.

------

<sup>3</sup> For this purpose, "average same store cash NOI growth" is a non-GAAP measure and means the average of the annual growth in same store cash NOI for the 2020, 2021 and 2022 calendar years. For this purpose, properties were only included in the calculation if they had been owned by us for at least 24 months as of the last day of the applicable calendar year. For a given calendar year, "cash NOI" means the net income available to common shareholders, plus corporate general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, non-controlling interests, losses from early extinguishment of debt and losses from property dispositions, less interest income, development and management income, gains from property dispositions, gains on sale from discontinued operations, gains on early extinguishment of debt, income from discontinued operations, income from unconsolidated real estate ventures and non-controlling interests, after eliminating the effect of straight-lining of rent and deferred market intangible amortization, and adjusted further to exclude termination fees and bad debt expense and other income.

<sup>4</sup> For this purpose, "aggregate investment activity" means the sum of the following: (a) the purchase price of real estate, including land and buildings, acquired by us or an unconsolidated subsidiary during the performance period; (b) the gross sales price of real estate, including land and buildings, sold by us or an unconsolidated subsidiary during the performance period; (c) the present value of scheduled rental payments that will be made, or received, over the term of any ground lease executed by the Company or an unconsolidated subsidiary during the performance period (using a discount rate equal to the Company's weighted cost of capital at the time of execution of any such ground lease); (d) the principal amount of loans made or committed to be made by the Company to third persons, including to unconsolidated subsidiaries, during the performance period; (e) the amount of equity invested or committed to be invested by us in third persons, including in unconsolidated subsidiaries, during the performance period; (f) the budgeted cost of developments and redevelopments commenced by the Company or an unconsolidated subsidiary during the performance period (regardless of whether such costs will be funded through debt or equity, including equity funded by a third party partner or member in an unconsolidated subsidiary, or a combination thereof); and (g) without duplication, our equity and debt commitments to joint ventures formed during the performance period (other than a joint venture in respect of certain excluded assets referenced in the 2020 corporate scorecard). In the event that we undertake a purchase or sale through an unconsolidated subsidiary, then the amount credited to aggregate investment activity will be our pro rata share of the purchase price or sale price, determined based on our ownership interest in the unconsolidated subsidiary, without regard to priority entitlements to distributable cash.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT

The performance and payout scale for aggregate investment activity is shown below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Aggregate Investment Activity** | **Percentage of Component Earned** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Less than $1,025,000,000 | 0% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$1025000000 | 50% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$1075000000 | 100% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$1125000000 | 200% |

---

For performance between $1,025,000,000 and $1,075,000,000, or between $1,075,000,000 and $1,125,000,000, the payout earned would have been determined by straight line interpolation. However, amounts would have only been earned in respect of the aggregate investment activity component if the ratio of pro forma net debt<sup>5</sup> to pro forma adjusted EBITDA<sup>6</sup> had been 6.3x or less.

These goals were intentionally ambitious and their achievement was not considered probable on the date of grant. As of the end of the performance period, the outperformance goals were not achieved at levels sufficient to activate the outperformance modifier, and therefore there was no increase in the shares deliverable under the 2020 restricted share rights awards.

------

<sup>5</sup> For this purpose, "pro forma net debt" is a non-GAAP measure and means the sum of our consolidated debt (less cash) as of December 31, 2022, plus our share of unconsolidated real estate venture debt, plus (without duplication) a pro forma adjustment to include debt budgeted to finance our equity and debt commitments to joint ventures formed during the performance period, to the extent not outstanding as of December 31, 2022.

<sup>6</sup> For this purpose, "pro forma adjusted EBITDA" is a non-GAAP measure and means the sum of (a) net income (loss), plus interest expense, plus income tax expense (if any), plus depreciation and amortization, plus (minus) losses and gains on the disposition of depreciated property, plus impairment write-downs of depreciated property and investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures, plus adjustments to reflect our share of such items from unconsolidated real estate ventures, as adjusted for capital market and other transactional items related to capital market and other transactions, for the three (3) month period ending on December 31, 2022 annualized for a twelve-month period ("Adjusted EBITDA") plus (b) a pro forma adjustment to include (but without duplication) the projected increase to Adjusted EBITDA solely attributable to our equity and debt commitments to joint ventures formed during the performance period, based on assumptions used in our underwritten operating budget for such equity and debt commitments (and, in the case of equity and debt commitments to joint ventures occurring during three (3) month period ending on December 31, 2022, assuming such transactions had occurred as of October 1, 2022).

Deferred Compensation Plan

We maintain a deferred compensation plan that enables our executives to defer a portion of their base salaries, annual incentive awards and equity awards. The amounts deferred are not included in the executive's current taxable income and, therefore, are not currently deductible by us. The executives select from a limited number of mutual funds and investment alternatives which serve as measurement funds, and the deferred amounts are increased or decreased to correspond to the market return of the selected investments. We generally do not provide any matching contribution to any executive officer who participates in this plan, other than a limited amount to make up for any loss of matching contributions under our Section 401(k) plan due to Internal Revenue Code limits. However, an executive who defers more than 25% of his or her annual incentive award into the Company Share Fund under the deferred compensation plan will receive a 15% matching contribution on the excess amount, which matching contribution will itself be invested in the Company Share Fund. We maintain this plan to help ensure that our benefits are competitive. See "Compensation Tables and Related Information – Nonqualified Deferred Compensation."

Other Benefits

Our executives participate in company-sponsored benefit programs available generally to all our salaried employees, including our shareholder-approved non-qualified employee share purchase plan and our Section 401(k) plan. For 2022, our 401(k) plan provided a company matching contribution of 30% of the first 6% of eligible compensation contributed to the plan, up to a maximum company matching contribution of $5,490. Other benefits, such as health and dental plans, group term life insurance and short- and long-term disability insurance, are also available generally to all our salaried employees.

Perquisites

We do not provide perquisites to our executive officers.

Post-Termination Benefits; Qualifying Retirement

We provide post-employment benefits to our executive officers that vary based on the executive and the circumstances of the executive's termination. See "Employment and Other Agreements" and "Potential Payments upon Termination of Employment or Change-in-Control."

We have "change of control" severance agreements with our executive officers which condition (other than with respect to our President and Chief Executive Officer) the executive's entitlement to severance following a change of control upon a so-called "double trigger." Under a double-trigger, the executive is entitled to severance only if, within a specified period following the change of control, the terms of his or her employment are adversely changed or he or she is terminated without cause, except for our President and Chief Executive Officer, who would be entitled to severance if he were to resign within six months following the change of control or his employment were terminated without cause. Our Compensation Committee believes that the severance protection that we provide is important in enabling us to attract and retain high quality executives and that it is in our best interest to have agreements with our senior executives that maintain their focus on, and commitment to, us notwithstanding a potential merger or other change of control transaction.

VI. Additional Executive Compensation Policies and Practices

Timing of Equity and Other Awards

We do not have any process or practice to time the grant of equity awards in coordination with our release of earnings or other material non-public information. Historically, our Compensation Committee has approved annual incentive awards and equity-based long-term incentive awards after the completion of each fiscal year, following review of pertinent fiscal year information and industry data. The date on which the Committee has met has varied from year to year, primarily based on the schedules of Committee members and the timing of compilation of data requested by the Committee. We do not time the release of material information to affect the value of executive compensation.

Compensation Recovery; Clawback Agreements

We have entered into "clawback" agreements with each of our executive officers that provide that in the event of an accounting restatement due to material non-compliance with federal securities laws, and without regard to misconduct, we have the right to recover incentive-based compensation that was computed on the basis of erroneous data during the three-year period preceding the accounting restatement and that exceeded what should have been paid on the basis of the corrected data. Given the SEC's recent release of final rules under Rule 10D-1, we expect to adopt a new clawback policy during 2023.

Share Ownership Requirements

We maintain minimum share ownership requirements for our executive officers. We include these requirements in our Corporate Governance Principles and summarize them below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | Our President and Chief Executive Officer is required to own, within five years of his appointment as an executive officer, the lesser of (x) 75% of the number of common shares or share equivalents awarded to such executive officer for no consideration (other than such executive officer's services) under an equity compensation program during the sixty-month period that precedes the testing date, less shares withheld for taxes and (y) common shares or share equivalents that have a market value (based on the average of the closing common share prices as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for the twelve-month period ending on June 30 of the calendar year that precedes the date of computation) at least equal to six times his base salary.  |

compensation program during the sixty-month period that precedes the testing date, less shares withheld for taxes and (y) common shares or share equivalents that have a market value (based on the average of the closing common share prices as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for the twelve-month period ending on June 30 of the calendar year that precedes the date of computation) at least equal to 1.5 times his or her base salary.

Each of our executive officers is in compliance with the share ownership requirements. If an executive officer were not to meet the requirements, the executive officer would be restricted from selling any common shares that have been or are thereafter awarded to him or her under any of our equity compensation programs until such executive officer meets the requirements, except as required by law or upon the approval of the Board or the Compensation Committee or (except as to himself) the President and Chief Executive Officer.

Hedging Prohibition

Our executives and Trustees are prohibited from hedging their ownership or offsetting any decline in the market value of our shares, including by trading in publicly-traded options, puts, calls or other derivative instruments related to our shares.

Pledges and Transactions in Shares

Our executives and Trustees are prohibited from pledging our shares as collateral for loans.

Compensation and Risks

Our Compensation Committee believes that the risks material to our business are those that derive from broad-based economic trends and specific trends related to the types of real estate we own and operate in our relevant markets. We do not believe that these risks are materially affected by, or materially arise from, our compensation policies and practices. We believe that our compensation policies and practices support achievement of competitive performance without unnecessary and excessive risk taking. Our annual incentive awards and equity-based long-term incentive awards are based on a variety of indicators of performance, thus diversifying the risk associated with any single indicator of performance. In addition, our share ownership requirements encourage our executives to focus on sustained share price appreciation rather than short-term results. Furthermore, compliance and ethical behavior are integral factors considered in all performance assessments.

Accounting Considerations

Prior to implementation of a compensation program and awards under the program, we evaluate the cost of the program and awards in light of our current budget and anticipated budget. We also review the design of compensation programs to assure that the recognition of expense for financial reporting purposes is consistent with our financial modeling.

Tax Considerations

Prior to implementation of a compensation program and awards under the program, we evaluate the federal income tax consequences, both to us and to our executives, of the program and awards. Before approving a program, our Compensation Committee receives an explanation from our outside professionals as to the expected tax treatment of the program and awards under the program.

Consideration of Prior Year Compensation

The primary focus of our Compensation Committee in setting executive compensation is the executive's current level of compensation, including recent awards of long-term incentives, in the context of current levels of compensation for similarly situated executives at peer companies, taking into account the executive's performance and our corporate performance. The Committee has not adopted a formulaic approach for considering amounts realized by an executive from prior equity-based awards.

Compensation Committee Report

The Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with our management, which has the responsibility for preparing the Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Based upon this review and discussion, the Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and in our proxy statement for our 2023 annual meeting of shareholders.

*(1)* *Executives are eligible to defer a portion of their salaries under our Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan. The amounts shown in this column have not been reduced by any deferrals under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan. Amounts deferred in 2022 are shown in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table below.* 

*(2)* *This column represents the grant date fair value of Share Awards computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. Share Awards consist of (i) restricted common share rights and (ii) awards of performance units. The grant date fair value of each restricted common share right awarded on March 3, 2022 was equal to the closing price on New York Stock Exchange on the award date ($13.65). The grant date fair value for the performance units awarded on March 3, 2022 was $14.61 and was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation probabilistic valuation model. We assumed volatility of 34.3%, which was calculated based on the volatility of our share price over the preceding six years, using weekly share price observations (average peer volatility over the same period was 34.2%). The amounts listed in this column include the following amounts for performance units awarded in 2022: for Mr. Sweeney, $2,637,178; for Mr. Wirth, $858,922; for Mr. DeVuono, $690,498; for Mr. Johnstone, $623,701; and for Mr. Redd, $644,652. Per SEC rules, the values of these*

 *units are reported in this column based on their probable outcomes at the grant date. However, the terms of the units permit additional shares to be earned based on performance. The grant date value of the maximum number of common shares that may be earned under the units was $5,274,356 for Mr. Sweeney, $1,717,844 for Mr. Wirth, $1,380,966 for Mr. DeVuono, $1,247,402 for Mr. Johnstone, and $1,289,304 for Mr. Redd. Similarly, the amounts listed in this column also include the following amounts in respect of restricted common share rights awarded in 2022: for Mr. Sweeney, $1,231,953; for Mr. Wirth, $401,242; for Mr. DeVuono, $322,563; for Mr. Johnstone, $291,359; and for Mr. Redd, $301,146. These restricted common share rights awards include an outperformance modifier which could increase the number of shares issuable under the award. Per SEC rules, the values of these restricted common share rights are reported based on their grant date fair values, which reflect that the achievement of the outperformance goals was not considered probable on the grant date. The grant date value of the maximum number of common shares that may be earned under these awards was $3,695,859 for Mr. Sweeney, $1,203,726 for Mr. Wirth, $967,689 for Mr. DeVuono, $874,077 for Mr. Johnstone, and $903,438 for Mr. Redd.* 

*(3)* *These amounts reflect annual incentives actually earned in cash. Executives are eligible to defer a portion of the amounts earned into our Deferred Compensation Plan.* 

*(4)* *Amounts in this column do not include dividends paid on unvested restricted common shares rights because the dollar value of dividends has been factored into the grant date fair value of the rights.* 

*(5)* *Represents for 2022 (i) $5,490 in employer matching contributions to our 401(k) plan; and (ii) $8,818 from participation in the Employee Share Purchase Plan.*

*(3)* *The amounts shown in this column represent the grant date fair value of awards on the date of grant, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. These amounts may differ from the target LTI values used by our Compensation Committee to size the awards, due to technical differences in how awards are valued for accounting purposes. For example, the Compensation Committee determines the both the target number of PSUs and the number of restricted share rights granted to each NEO based on the trailing average closing price of our common shares for the 10 days immediately preceding the grant date, whereas for accounting purposes the value for PSUs is determined based on a Monte Carlo model and the value for restricted stock rights is determined based on our closing share price on the grant date.* 

*(4)* *Consists of restricted common share rights that vest in three equal installments on each of April 15, 2023, April 15, 2024 and April 15, 2025. See below under the heading "Equity Award Agreements" for a description of the effects of death, disability, involuntary termination, retirement or change in control on these awards.* 

*(5)* *These restricted common share rights also include an outperformance modifier attached that could increase the original award up to 200% based on Brandywine's achievement of superior results for FFO growth and aggregate investment activity, weighted equally, during the three-year period ending December 31, 2024. See "Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Equity-Based Long-Term Incentive Compensation – 2022 Restricted Share Rights Outperformance Modifier" for description of this outperformance feature. See below under the heading "Equity Award Agreements" for a description of the effects of death, disability, involuntary termination, retirement or change in control on these awards.*

*To receive any shares earned under the PSUs, a grantee must generally remain employed by us through the end of the applicable performance period. Similarly, receipt of 50% of any shares earned under the outperformance feature of restricted share right awards is generally conditioned on employment until the day after the end of the applicable performance period, and receipt of the remaining 50% is generally conditioned on employment until one year later. However, see below under the heading "Equity Award Agreements" for certain termination scenarios where these vesting conditions may be waived (such as in connection with a death, disability or qualifying retirement).* 

*(4)* *These options have an expiration date tied to Mr. Sweeney's employment with us.* 

*(5)* *Excludes shares subject to outstanding restricted common share rights that are non-forfeitable because Mr. Sweeney, Mr. Johnstone, Mr. Redd and Mr. DeVuono are eligible for qualifying retirement.*

*(1)* *Reflects the number of restricted common shares (or share equivalents) that vested in 2022 multiplied by the closing market price of the common shares on the applicable vesting date. Restricted common share right awards generally vest in equal annual installments, on April 15th of the first, second and third years following the year of grant. However, for executives eligible for qualifying retirement, otherwise unvested restrictive common share right awards are treated as vested for purposes of this table upon the earlier of the award's grant date or the date the executive became eligible for qualifying retirement. See footnote 2 below for description of the restricted share right awards that are treated as vested in 2022 due to the retirement eligibility of Messrs. Sweeney, DeVuono, Johnstone and Redd. Shares underlying earned 2020-2022 Performance Units are treated as vested as of December 31, 2022.* 

*(2)* *In the case of Mr. Sweeney, the number and value of shares acquired upon vesting includes 90,253 restricted common share rights granted to him in 2022, in the case of Mr. Johnstone, the number and value of shares acquired upon vesting includes 21,345 restricted common share rights granted to him in 2022, and in the case of Mr. Redd, the number and value of shares acquired upon vesting includes 22,062 restricted common share rights granted to him on in 2022. The restricted common share rights granted in 2022 to Mr. Sweeney, Mr. Johnstone, Mr. Redd are included in this table because the awards were immediately non-forfeitable due to these executives' eligibility for qualifying retirement. In the case of Mr. DeVuono, the number and value of shares acquired upon vesting includes 60,824 restricted common share rights, of which 43,702 became non-forfeitable on July 7, 2022 due to his attainment on that date of eligibility for qualifying retirement. However, for restricted common share rights treated as vested due to the grantee's eligibility for qualifying retirement, the shares subject to these awards will generally not be delivered until the earlier of (i) the executive's separation from service, or (ii) the otherwise applicable vesting dates of the award.*

*(1)* *The amounts shown reflect 2019, 2020 or 2021 equity awards deferred into our Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan in 2022. None of these amounts are also reported in the Summary Compensation Table for 2022.* 

*(2)* *All amounts shown in this column have been reported (either as salary, bonus, share awards or non-equity incentive plan compensation) in the Summary Compensation Table of our proxy statements for the current year or prior years (or would have been reported, had the executive been a named executive officer in the applicable year), other than the portion that represents earnings on the amounts deferred. As noted in the narrative below, earnings are credited on the amounts deferred based on the actual performance of notional investments in specified securities. No above-market or guaranteed rates are credited.* 

Our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Compensation Plan") affords participating executives and Trustees the ability to defer a portion of their base salary, bonus and annual incentive award (or, in the case of our Trustees, annual retainer and Board fees) on a tax-deferred basis. In addition, participants may elect to defer the receipt of equity grants under our long-term incentive plan. If a participant's matching contributions under our 401(k) plan are limited due to participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan or due to limitations on matching contributions imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, we make a matching contribution for the participant under the deferred compensation plan to the extent the participant has deferred an amount under the Deferred Compensation Plan at least equal to the amount that would have been required if the matching contribution had been made under our 401(k) plan. We have the right, but not the obligation, to make matching contributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan for executives on deferred amounts (and/or to make a discretionary profit sharing contribution for executives) covering compensation in excess of $305,000 (for 2022) because the IRS rules will not permit such contributions to be made to the 401(k) plan. Participants elect in advance the timing and form of distributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan. Distributions are payable in a lump sum or installments and may commence in-service, after a required minimum deferral period, or upon retirement. Except as otherwise noted in the next paragraph, participants elect the manner in which their accounts are deemed invested during the deferral period.

Because the Deferred Compensation Plan is a "nonqualified" deferred compensation plan, we are not obligated to invest deferred amounts in the selected manner or to set aside any deferred amounts in trust. One of the deemed investment options is a hypothetical investment fund (the "Common Share Fund") consisting of our common shares. Effective for compensation deferred after 2006, all deferrals that are invested in the Company Share Fund will continue to be invested in the Company Share Fund until distribution and will not be eligible to be transferred into other investment funds. An executive who defers more than 25% of his or her annual bonus or annual incentive award into the Company Share Fund is entitled to 15% matching contribution on the excess amount, which matching contribution will itself be invested in the Company Share Fund. All deferred equity grants will be invested in the Company Share Fund and all distributions of benefits attributable to Company Share Fund credits will be paid in common shares.

With respect to post-2004 deferred compensation deemed invested in the Company Share Fund, dividend equivalents are subject to participants' elections to receive the dividend equivalents in cash or to continue to defer them under the Deferred Compensation Plan. Any dividend equivalents credited to participants' accounts in the Deferred Compensation Plan will be invested in investment funds selected by the participants other than the Company Share Fund.

In general, compensation subject to a deferral election, matching contributions and profit sharing contributions are not includible in a participant's taxable income for federal income tax purposes until the participant receives a distribution from the Deferred Compensation Plan. To the extent amounts under this plan are deductible by us, those deductions will not arise until such amounts are distributed.

Employment and Other Agreements

We have agreements with executives that provide for payments to the executives in connection with their termination of employment or upon a change of control of us. We summarize below, and in the table that follows, circumstances that would trigger payments by us, and the amounts of the payments. We discuss the rationale for these agreements above under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Post Termination Benefits; Qualifying Retirement," including why we have entered into agreements with executive officers that provide for post-employment payments following a change-in-control.

Agreement with our President and Chief Executive Officer

We have a 2007 employment agreement with Gerard H. Sweeney. Mr. Sweeney's employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of not less than $600,000 ($800,000 for 2022 and for 2023). If Mr. Sweeney's employment with us were not extended upon expiration of the term of his employment agreement, which currently renews annually for successive one-year periods absent advance notice of non-renewal, we would be obligated to provide him with a severance benefit during the one-year period following expiration of the term equal to the sum of his prior year salary and bonus as well as health care benefits. The employment agreement entitles Mr. Sweeney to a payment equal to 2.99 times the sum of his annual salary and annual bonus upon: (i) termination of his employment without cause, (ii) his resignation "for good reason" or (iii) his death. Resignation by Mr. Sweeney within six months following a reduction in his salary, an adverse change in his status or responsibilities, certain changes in the location of our headquarters or a change of control of us would each constitute a resignation "for good reason." Mr. Sweeney's employment agreement also includes a tax gross-up for excise tax payments payable upon a change of control and that would put him in the same financial position after-tax that he would have been in if the excise tax did not apply to him. Mr. Sweeney's severance and change of control benefits were determined by our Compensation Committee and are not conditioned on any non-competition or other post-employment restrictive covenants.

Change of Control Agreements with Executive Officers

In addition to our employment agreement with Mr. Sweeney, we have entered into change of control agreements with our executive officers. These agreements provide that if both (i) a change of control (a "CIC") occurs at a time when an executive is an employee and (ii) the executive's employment is terminated other than for cause or the executive resigns for good reason, in either case within a specified number of days (as indicated in the table below under the caption "Coverage Period") following the CIC, then we (or our successor in the CIC transaction) will pay to the executive the product of: (x) the CIC Multiplier (as indicated in the table below under the caption "CIC Multiplier") times (y) the sum of (1) the executive's annual base salary in effect at the time of the CIC plus (2) the greater of (i) the annual bonus most recently paid to the executive prior to the CIC or (ii) the executive's target bonus for the year in which the CIC occurs. In addition, if the foregoing double trigger (i.e., a CIC and a qualifying employment termination) were to occur, we would provide the applicable executive with continued medical and group term life insurance coverage during the Coverage Period.

Equity Award Agreements

Under the terms of our restricted common share right awards, if an executive's employment is terminated without cause or if the executive resigns with good reason within one year following a CIC, or if an executive dies, becomes disabled or has a qualifying retirement, all otherwise unvested restricted common share rights will then vest and shares will be delivered in respect thereof.

Under the terms of our performance unit programs, in the event of a CIC, death, disability or qualifying retirement while a performance unit is outstanding, the applicable measurement period will be truncated and the performance units will then be settled based on actual performance through that time (and subject to pro-ration in the case of qualifying retirement).

Similarly, in the event of CIC during the performance period applicable to an outperformance share, the performance period will be truncated and the number of outperformance shares earned will then be determined (with such adjustments to the performance measures as the Committee then deems appropriate). Any earned outperformance shares will then remain subject to the same time vesting requirements that generally apply to outperformance shares. In the event of CIC after the performance period applicable to an outperformance share, any then remaining time vesting requirements will be waived.

In the event of a death, disability or qualifying retirement during the performance period applicable to an outperformance share, a pro-rata portion of those outperformance shares will remain outstanding and be earned (or not) based on actual performance through the end of the applicable performance period. In these cases, any earned shares will be delivered promptly following the performance determination. In the event of a death, disability or qualifying retirement following the performance period applicable to an outperformance share, any then remaining time vesting requirements will be waived.

With respect to the performance unit awards, the CIC amount is predicated only upon the occurrence of a CIC (with or without an involuntary or good reason termination) and would be determined based on actual performance through the date of the CIC. For Mr. Wirth unvested equity awards include both restricted common share rights and performance units. For Messrs. Sweeney, Johnstone, Redd and DeVuono, unvested equity awards exclude restricted common share rights that are already non-forfeitable because they are retirement eligible.

Employee Share Purchase Plan

Our shareholders approved the 2007 Non-Qualified Employee Share Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") in May 2007. The number of common shares reserved and initially available for issuance under the ESPP is 1,250,000.

The ESPP is intended to provide eligible employees with a convenient means to purchase common shares through payroll deductions and voluntary cash investments. All of our full-time and qualified part-time employees are eligible to participate in the ESPP beginning on the first day of the quarterly purchase period that begins on, or next following, their date of hire. At December 31, 2022, approximately 327 persons were eligible to participate in the ESPP, including 29 officers and all of our other full-time and qualified part-time employees. Part-time employees must be scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week to qualify for participation under the ESPP.

Prior to each purchase period, a participant may specify the contributions the participant proposes to make for the purchase period. Such contributions will be expressed as a stated whole percentage (ranging from 1% to 20%) of the participant's compensation payable during the purchase period (including base salary, bonus, commissions and other compensation processed through our regular payroll system) that we are authorized to deduct during the purchase period to purchase common shares for the participant's account under the ESPP. A participant may withdraw (without interest) at any time on or before the last day of a purchase period all or any of the contributions credited to his or her account. In addition, a participant may amend or revoke his or her election at any time prior to a purchase period, and a participant may amend or revoke his or her election during a purchase period to reduce or stop his or her contributions. The account balance of any participant who terminates employment during a purchase period before the last day of the purchase period will be automatically returned without interest to the participant. At the end of each purchase period, the amounts accumulated for each participant will be used to purchase common shares at a price equal to 85% (or such higher percentage set by the Compensation Committee) of the average closing price of the common shares as reported on the New York Stock Exchange during the purchase period. The ESPP Plan Year begins June 1 and extends to the next following May 31. Purchase periods have a duration of three months, ending on each of February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30. Under the plan document the maximum contribution by each participant for any Plan Year may not exceed $50,000. The ESPP does not qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Pay Ratio Disclosure

The disclosure of CEO pay ratio is required under the Dodd-Frank Act. Our CEO to median employee pay ratio is calculated in accordance with SEC requirements. We identified the median employee by examining the annual compensation for all employees, excluding our CEO, who were employed by Brandywine on December 31, 2020. We included all employees, whether employed on a full-time, part-time, seasonal or temporary basis. We annualized the compensation for any full-time employee at December 31, 2020 who was not employed by Brandywine for all of fiscal 2020. ADP payroll records were used to determine all payments made to the median employee. Compensation used to identify the median employee was base salary/base wages, including regular earnings, straight time, overtime, short-term disability and paid parental, vacation and sick leave. The methodology was consistently applied for all employees on our payroll as of December 31, 2020. We continue to use the same median employee that we identified based on 2020 compensation data because there has been no change to our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that we believe would result in a significant change in our CEO pay ratio.

After we identified our median employee, we calculated his or her 2022 total compensation using the same methodology we use for our named executive officers, as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table that appears earlier in this proxy statement.

Brandywine's CEO pay is designed to provide a competitive CEO pay package with significant performance-based pay in a highly competitive CEO talent market. Median employee pay represents Brandywine's compensation to employees at various rates based on competitive labor markets. The table below sets forth: (i) the median of the 2022 total compensation of all of our employees (excluding our CEO), as determined under SEC rules; (ii) the 2022 total compensation of our CEO; and (iii) the ratio of our CEO's 2022 total compensation to the median of the 2022 total compensation of all other employees. As indicated in the table, the ratio of our CEO's annual total compensation to the median annual total compensation of all other employees is 75.82:1.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT

## Proposal 2: Ratification of the

## Appointment of Independent

## Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was first engaged as our independent registered public accounting firm in June 2003 and has audited our financial statements for fiscal 2002 through and including 2022.

In selecting PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, the Audit Committee considered a number of factors, including: (i) the professional qualifications of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the lead audit partner and other key engagement team members; (ii) the results of management's and the Audit Committee's annual evaluations of the performance and independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP; (iii) the quality of the Audit Committee's ongoing discussions with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, including the professional resolution of accounting and financial reporting matters with the national office; and (iv) the appropriateness of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's fees in light of our size and complexity.

Although shareholder ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, our Board has decided to afford our shareholders the opportunity to express their opinions on the matter of our independent registered public accounting firm. Ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast on the matter. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change would be in our best interests and those of our shareholders. If our shareholders do not ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will take that fact into consideration, together with such other information as it deems relevant, in determining its next selection of an independent registered public accounting firm.

Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will be present at the Meeting to make any statement they may desire and to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

The Board of Trustees unanimously recommends a vote FOR Proposal 2 to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for calendar year 2023.

## Fees to Independent Registered

## Public Accounting Firm
**Audit Fees.** For 2022, we incurred audit fees of $1,430,512 in aggregate payable to our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. These fees include: (i) recurring audit and quarterly review fees of $1,240,950 for us, our operating partnership and our affiliates and (ii) fees of $189,562 related to the adoption and auditing of new accounting pronouncements and other nonrecurring items. For 2021, we incurred audit fees of $1,233,000 in aggregate payable to our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. These fees include: (i) recurring audit and quarterly review fees of $1,133,000 for us, our operating partnership and our affiliates and (ii) fees of $100,000 related to the adoption and auditing of new accounting pronouncements and other nonrecurring items.

**Audit-Related Fees.** For 2022 and 2021, we did not incur audit-related fees.

**Tax Fees.** We did not pay PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP fees for tax services in 2022 or 2021 or engage PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for tax services in 2022 or 2021.

**All Other Fees.** We did not engage PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for other services in 2022 or 2021.

**Pre-Approval Policy.** All services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in 2022 and 2021 were pre-approved by our Audit Committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was compatible with the maintenance of that firm's independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. The Audit Committee has adopted a pre-approval policy for services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. Under the policy, the Audit Committee has pre-approved the provision by the independent registered public accounting firm of services that fall within specified categories (such as statutory audits or financial audit work for subsidiaries, services associated with SEC registration statements and consultations by management as to accounting interpretations) but only up to specified dollar amounts. Any services that exceed the pre-approved dollar limits, or any services that fall outside of the general pre-approved categories, require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. If the Audit Committee delegates pre-approval authority to one or more of its members, the member would be required to report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next meeting.

We have been advised by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP that neither the firm, nor any member of the firm, has any financial interest, direct or indirect, in any capacity in us or any of our subsidiaries.

Report of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is comprised of independent trustees as required by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The role of the Audit Committee is to appoint, retain, and oversee our independent registered public accounting firm, which is currently PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and to oversee Brandywine's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Trustees. Management of Brandywine has the primary responsibility for the preparation of Brandywine's consolidated financial statements as well as executing Brandywine's financial reporting process, principles, and internal controls. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an audit of

2023 PROXY STATEMENT

Brandywine's consolidated financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting, and expressing an opinion as to the conformity of such consolidated financial statements with US generally accepted accounting principles, and management's assessment of and the effectiveness of Brandywine's internal controls over financial reporting.

During fiscal year 2022, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees reviewed the quality and integrity of Brandywine's consolidated financial statements, the effectiveness of Brandywine's system of internal control over financial reporting, Brandywine's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the qualifications and independence of Brandywine's independent registered public accounting firm, the performance of Brandywine's internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm and other significant financial matters.

The Audit Committee's work is guided by a written charter that the Board has approved. The Audit Committee regularly reviews its charter to ensure that it is meeting all relevant audit committee policy requirements of the SEC, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the New York Stock Exchange. You can access the Audit Committee charter by clicking on "Corporate Governance" in the "Investor" section of Brandywine's Internet site at <u>www.brandywinerealty.com</u> or by writing to Brandywine at Brandywine Realty Trust, 2929 Arch Street, Suite 1800, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, Attention: Shawn Neuman.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Brandywine's independent registered public accounting firm, the audited consolidated financial statements of Brandywine and its operating partnership and their internal controls over financial reporting. The Audit Committee has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the matters required to be discussed by AS 1301 (Communications with Audit Committees), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and approved by the SEC.

The Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP its independence from Brandywine. Based on the review and discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements of Brandywine and its operating partnership be included in their Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and be filed with the SEC.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT

## Proposal 3:

## Advisory Vote on

## Executive Compensation
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the Dodd-Frank Act, requires us to enable our shareholders to vote to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with the SEC's rules.

As described in detail above under the heading "Executives and Executive Compensation - Compensation Discussion and Analysis," our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, retain and motivate our named executive officers, who are critical to our success. Under these programs, our named executive officers are rewarded for the achievement of annual and long-term strategic and corporate goals, and the realization of increased shareholder value. Please read the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" and "Compensation Tables and Related Information" for additional details about our executive compensation programs, including information about the fiscal year 2022 compensation of our named executive officers.

We are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for our named executive officer compensation as described in this proxy statement. This proposal, commonly known as a "say-on-pay" proposal, gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers' compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, we will ask our shareholders to vote "FOR" the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

"RESOLVED, that the Company's shareholders approve, on an advisory and non-binding basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company's Proxy Statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the 2022 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure."

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on us, our Board of Trustees, or its Compensation Committee. Our Board of Trustees and its Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, we will consider our shareholders' concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

The Board of Trustees unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

  BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST

## Proposal 4: Advisory Vote on the

## Frequency of an Advisory Vote on

## Executive Compensation
The Dodd-Frank Act also enables our shareholders to indicate how frequently we should seek an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the SEC's compensation disclosure rules, such as Proposal 3 included in this proxy statement. By voting on this Proposal 4, shareholders may indicate whether they would prefer an advisory vote on named executive officer compensation once every one, two, or three years.

After careful consideration of this Proposal, our Board of Trustees has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs every year is the most appropriate alternative for us, and therefore our Board recommends that you vote for a one-year interval for the advisory vote on executive compensation.

In formulating its recommendation, our Board of Trustees considered that an annual advisory vote on executive compensation will allow our shareholders to provide us with their direct input on our compensation philosophy, policies, and practices as disclosed in the proxy statement every year. Additionally, an annual advisory vote on executive compensation is consistent with our policy of seeking input from, and engaging in discussions with, our shareholders on corporate governance matters and our executive compensation philosophy, policies, and practices. We understand that our shareholders may have different views as to what is the best approach for Brandywine, and we look forward to hearing from our shareholders on this Proposal.

You may cast your vote on your preferred voting frequency by choosing the option of one year, two years, three years, or abstain from voting when you vote in response to the resolution set forth below.

"RESOLVED", that the option of once every one year, two years, or three years that receives the highest number of votes cast for this resolution will be determined to be the preferred frequency for the holding of a shareholder vote to approve the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's compensation disclosure rules (which disclosure shall include the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table, and the other related tables and disclosures)."

The option of one year, two years, or three years that receives the highest number of votes cast by shareholders will be the frequency for the advisory vote on executive compensation that has been selected by shareholders. However, because this vote is advisory and not binding on the Board of Trustees or us in any way, the Board may decide that it is in the best interests of our shareholders and us to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option approved by our shareholders.

The Board of Trustees unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the option of once every year as the frequency with which shareholders are provided an advisory vote on executive compensation, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT

## Proposal 5: Approval of the 2023

## Long-Term Incentive Plan
Background

We are asking our shareholders to approve the adoption of the Brandywine Realty Trust 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2023 Plan"), which, if approved, would replace our Amended and Restated 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1997 Plan"). Our Board approved the 2023 Plan on March 16, 2023, subject to shareholder approval.

The 2023 Plan, if approved by our shareholders, will reserve for awards thereunder up to 5,830,000 shares of our common stock, less any shares of common stock subject to awards made under the 1997 Plan between March 1, 2023 and the date of the annual meeting, plus any shares of our common stock subject to 1997 Plan awards that are recycled into the 2023 Plan as described below (such as due to the withholding of shares for taxes or the forfeiture of those awards).

If the 2023 Plan is approved by our shareholders, no new awards will be granted under the 1997 Plan after the annual meeting (although awards outstanding under the 1997 Plan will remain subject to the terms of the 1997 Plan).

The purpose of the 2023 Plan is to promote the success and enhance the value of the Company by linking the personal interests of our employees, trustees, consultants and other service providers with those of our shareholders, and by providing participants with an incentive for outstanding performance. The 2023 Plan is further intended to enable us to motivate, attract and retain talented service providers and thereby facilitate the successful conduct of our operations.

If this proposal is not approved, the 2023 Plan will not become effective and the 1997 Plan will remain in effect in accordance with its present terms. However, as of March 1, 2023, only 2,611,086 shares of common stock remained available for issuance in respect of new awards under the 1997 Plan (assuming target performance for outstanding PSUs and threshold performance for outstanding outperformance shares). Accordingly, if this proposal is not approved, our ability to provide equity-based compensation will be limited. In that case, our ability to attract and retain talent may be adversely impacted and this could adversely affect our long-term success. Without the ability to issue equity-based awards, we would be forced to rely on cash alternatives to provide competitive compensation. The increased use of cash compensation would, among other things, reduce the cash available for investment in our growth.

For these reasons, our Board unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the adoption of this proposal of the 2023 Plan.

Overhang and Burn-Rate Information

The following table sets forth information on our equity award overhang as of March 1, 2023. References herein to "OP Interests" refer to common partnership units in the Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. (our "Operating Partnership"). Each OP Interest is exchangeable into shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain conditions. As of March 1, 2023 and as of the date of this proxy statement, no OP Interests have been issued under the 1997 Plan or any other compensatory plan. Because we are a REIT that conducts substantially all of our operations through our

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Includes (x) 1,165,400 shares of our common stock subject to time-vested full value awards, and (y) 2,371,615 shares of our common stock subject to performance-based full value awards (assuming target performance for outstanding PSUs and threshold performance for outstanding outperformance shares).

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Includes 171,727,703 shares of our common stock and 516,467 OP Interests outstanding as of March 1, 2023. Excludes OP Interests held by us.

(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The outstanding stock options do not have a scheduled expiration date; rather, they expire upon cessation of the optionee's employment with us.

Other than the foregoing, no other awards pursuant to which shares of our common stock were issuable under any of our existing or prior equity compensation arrangements, including the 1997 Plan, were outstanding as of March 1, 2023.

Burn Rate Detail

Our three-year average annual burn rate is approximately 0.3% for 2020, 2021 and 2022. "Burn rate" is defined as the following for any year: (1) the number of stock options and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") granted in that year, (2) the number of shares subject to time-vested full value awards granted in that year, plus (3) the number of shares subject to performance-based full-value awards earned in that year, all divided by the weighted-average number of shares of our common stock and OP Interests (other than OP Interests held by us) outstanding as of the end of that year.

Summary of the 2023 Plan

The principal provisions of the 2023 Plan are summarized below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2023 Plan document, a copy of which is attached as Appendix C to this proxy statement. To the extent the description below differs from the text of the 2023 Plan, the text of the 2023 Plan controls.

Shares of Common Stock Available for Issuance

Subject to certain adjustments, the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued under the 2023 Plan is the sum of (i) 5,830,000 Shares, minus (ii) the number of shares subject to 1997 Plan awards issued between March 1, 2023 and the date the 2023 Plan is approved by our shareholders (the "effective date"), plus (iii) the number of shares subject to 1997 Plan awards that are recycled into the 2023 Plan (such as due to the withholding of shares for taxes or the forfeiture of those awards), as described below.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT

If and to the extent that an award under the 2023 Plan or 1997 Plan terminates, expires, is canceled or is forfeited for any reason on or after the effective date (including upon cancellation or settlement of such award in exchange for cash or property other than shares), the shares of our common stock associated with that award (based on the maximum number of shares potentially issuable thereunder) will become available (or again be available) for grant under the 2023 Plan. Similarly, shares subject to an award under the 2023 Plan or 1997 Plan (other than a stock option or stock appreciation right) that are withheld on or after the effective date in settlement of a tax withholding obligation arising in connection with that award will become available (or again be available) for grant under the 2023 Plan. However, shares of our common stock withheld on or after the effective date in satisfaction of the exercise price payable upon exercise of an award under the 2023 Plan or 1997 Plan, will not become available (or again be available) for grant under the 2023 Plan. Finally, any shares of our common stock subject to a SAR that are not delivered upon exercise of such award will not again become available for grant under the 2023 Plan.

Any shares issued in respect of awards granted in substitution for equity-based awards of an entity acquired by us or a subsidiary of ours, or with which we or a subsidiary of ours combine, will not reduce the total share reserve.

The maximum aggregate number of shares under the 2023 Plan that may be issued in respect of incentive stock options ("ISOs") is 10,000,000.

The market value of a share of our common stock as of March 21, 2023, the record date, was $4.71.

Plan Administration

The 2023 Plan vests broad powers in a committee to administer and interpret the 2023 Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, that committee will be the Compensation Committee. In this capacity, the Compensation Committee has the authority to, among other things, select participants, determine the form, amount and timing of each award to such persons, modify the terms of awards, determine when awards will be granted and paid, waive any conditions or restrictions associated with an award, extend the period of time during which an award may be exercised (but in no event beyond the expiration of the original award term), accelerate the vesting or exercisability of an award and to make all other determinations which it deems necessary or desirable in the interpretation and administration of the 2023 Plan. The Compensation Committee may delegate certain of its authority to grant awards to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to such limitations as the Compensation Committee may prescribe.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to such limitations as the Board may prescribe, the Board may from time to time designate a committee (a "Special Committee") to grant awards under the 2023 Plan to participants who are not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The Special Committee will have the authority to, among other things, determine the recipients of such awards, determine the number of shares, other securities or the dollar amount to which such awards relate and determine the other terms and conditions of such awards. To that extent, references herein to the Compensation Committee may therefore also include the Special Committee. Otherwise, the authority to administer the 2023 Plan will remain with the Compensation Committee.

In order to comply with foreign law, the Compensation Committee may modify the terms of outstanding awards, establish subplans and take other actions that it deems advisable, provided that no subplans or modifications may increase the number of shares of our common stock available for grant under the 2023 Plan.

  BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST

Eligibility

Employees, trustees, consultants and other persons who provide services to us and our affiliates are eligible to be granted awards under the 2023 Plan. However, in accordance with applicable tax rules, only our employees (and the employees of our subsidiaries) are eligible to be granted ISOs.

As of March 1, 2023, there were approximately 342 employees, seven trustees (including one trustee who is also an employee) and three consultants who would be eligible to participate in the 2023 Plan.

Types of Awards

The 2023 Plan provides for the grant of the following types of awards: (i) stock options (both ISOs and non-qualified stock options), (ii) SARs, (iii) restricted stock, (iv) restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and (v) cash or other stock-based awards (which may include, among other things, interests in our Operating Partnership or fully vested shares of our common stock).

Stock Options. A stock option entitles the holder to purchase from us a stated number of shares of our common stock at a specified price for a limited period of time. The Compensation Committee will specify the number of shares of our common stock subject to each option and the exercise price for such option, which will not be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date the option is granted. However, for an ISO granted to a ten percent (10%) shareholder, the exercise price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date the option is granted.

Generally, options may be exercised in whole or in part through a cash payment. The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, permit payment of the exercise price through other methods, including the delivery of previously owned whole shares, the withholding of shares by us, through a broker-assisted exercise, or by a combination of methods.

All options shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement. The maximum term of an option shall be determined by the Compensation Committee on the date of grant, but shall not exceed ten (10) years (five (5) years in the case of ISOs granted to a ten percent (10%) shareholder). In the case of ISOs, the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date of grant) of common stock with respect to which such ISOs become exercisable for the first time during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. ISOs granted in excess of this limitation will be treated as non-qualified stock options.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A SAR represents the right to receive, upon exercise, any appreciation in the value of a share of our common stock over a particular time period. The exercise price of a SAR shall not be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date the SAR is granted. The maximum term of a SAR shall be determined by the Compensation Committee on the date of grant, but shall not exceed ten (10) years. SAR payouts may be made in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of both, at the Compensation Committee's discretion.

Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement or determined by the Compensation Committee, if a participant's service with us (or our affiliates) terminates due to death or disability, the participant's unexercised options and SARs may be exercised, to the extent they were exercisable at the time of the participant's death or disability (or on such accelerated basis as the Compensation Committee may determine at or after grant), for a period of twelve (12) months from the termination date or until the expiration of the original award term, whichever period is shorter. If a participant's service with us (or our affiliates) is terminated for cause, (i) all unexercised options and SARs (whether vested or unvested) shall terminate and be forfeited on the termination date, and (ii) any option or SAR exercise then in progress will be cancelled. Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement or determined by the Compensation Committee, if a

2023 PROXY STATEMENT

participant's service terminates for any other reason, the participant's unexercised options and SARs may be exercised, to the extent they were exercisable at the time of the participant's termination (or on such accelerated basis as the Compensation Committee may determine at or after grant), for a period of ninety (90) days from the termination date or until the expiration of the original option or SAR term, whichever period is shorter. Unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, any options and SARs that are not exercisable at the time of the termination of service shall terminate and be forfeited on the termination date.

Restricted Stock. A restricted stock award is a grant of shares of our common stock that are subject to forfeiture and transfer restrictions during a specified period. The Compensation Committee will determine all the conditions of such awards, including the price, if any, to be paid by the participant for each share of restricted stock and any vesting conditions applicable to the shares. If the specified vesting conditions are not attained, the underlying shares or our common stock will be forfeited to us. While the shares are unvested, a participant will have the right to vote the shares underlying the restricted stock and receive distributions and dividends; provided, however, that the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may require cash distributions and/or dividends to be accrued and subjected to the same vesting conditions that are applicable to the restricted stock with respect to which such amounts are paid, or reinvested in additional restricted stock. Any distributions or dividends paid in the form of securities will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the restricted stock with respect to which they were paid, including, without limitation, the same vesting conditions.

Restricted Stock Units. An RSU represents a right to receive, on the achievement of specified vesting conditions, an amount equal to the fair market value at the time of settlement of one share of our common stock. An RSU may be settled in shares of our common stock, cash or a combination of both, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Cash or Other Stock-Based Awards. Cash or other stock-based awards may be granted to participants. Such cash or other stock-based awards may include, without limitation: (a) incentive, retention or other cash bonuses, (b) shares of our common stock not subject to any restrictions or conditions, (c) awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to shares of our common stock (including without limitation, limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership that may be exchanged or redeemed for shares of our common stock, other rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of our common stock, convertible or exchangeable debt securities, and awards valued by reference to book value of shares of our common stock), or (d) awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to the securities of our Operating Partnership or any of our other subsidiaries. For purposes of calculating the number of shares underlying a cash or other stock-based award that is payable in whole or in part in shares (or convertible or exchangeable into shares), relative to the total number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2023 Plan, the Compensation Committee will specify in the award agreement the maximum number of shares potentially issuable thereunder, subject to specified adjustments. The Compensation Committee will determine the terms and conditions of each such award, including, as applicable the term, any exercise or purchase price, performance goals, vesting conditions, conversion or exchange ratios and the treatment of such award upon cessation of service.

Other Stock-Based Awards may include limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership intended to constitute "profits interests" within the meaning of IRS Revenue Procedures 93-27 and 2001-43. Such profits interests could be structured so that, if they accumulate a liquidating value equal to the price of our common stock, they could be converted into OP Interests (which OP Interests could then become exchangeable for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain conditions).

Vesting

The Compensation Committee determines any vesting conditions applicable to awards. Vesting conditions may include the continued employment or service of the participant, the attainment of specified individual or corporate performance goals, or other factors in the Compensation Committee's discretion.

Dividend Equivalent Rights

Dividend equivalent rights may be granted in connection with awards (other than an award of options or SARs) under the 2023 Plan in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. A dividend equivalent right entitles the participant to payments or credits equal to the cash dividends that would otherwise have been paid with respect to the shares of our common stock subject to the related award, had such shares been outstanding. The Compensation Committee may provide that dividend equivalent rights will be paid or credited in cash, or paid or credited in shares of our common stock (based on the fair market value of those shares on the dividend payment date). In any case, dividend equivalent rights granted under the 2023 Plan may, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, be subject to the same vesting conditions as the awards to which they relate.

Non-Employee Trustee Award Limits

Beginning with our first fiscal year following the effective date, the aggregate amount of equity and cash compensation payable to a non-employee trustee with respect to a fiscal year, whether under the 2023 Plan or otherwise, for services as a non-employee trustee, will not exceed $1,000,000. This trustee compensation limit will not apply to (i) compensation earned by a non-employee trustee solely in his or her capacity as chairman of our Board or lead independent trustee, (ii) compensation earned by a non-employee trustee for services he or she performs outside of his or her role as a non-employee trustee (e.g., as an advisor or consultant), or (iii) compensation awarded by our Board to a non-employee trustee in extraordinary circumstances, as determined by our Board in its discretion, so long as, in each case, the non-employee trustee does not participate in the decision to award him- or herself the additional compensation.

Adjustments for Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.

In the event of any corporate event or transaction such as a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend, dividend in kind, or other change in capital structure (other than ordinary cash dividends), or other similar corporate event or transaction affecting shares of our common stock, the Compensation Committee, to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants' rights under the 2023 Plan, shall, in such manner as it deems equitable, substitute or adjust, in its sole discretion, the number and kind of shares that may be issued under the 2023 Plan or under outstanding awards, the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding awards, the exercise price, grant price or purchase price applicable to outstanding awards, and/or any other affected terms and conditions of the 2023 Plan and outstanding awards.

Change in Control

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, upon the occurrence of a "change in control" (as defined in the 2023 Plan), outstanding awards will be (A) continued by us (subject to such adjustments as the Compensation Committee deems equitable to reflect the transaction), or (B) in the manner described in any applicable transaction documents, (1) assumed by our successor or its parent (subject to any adjustments contemplated to reflect the transaction), or (2) canceled and replaced with a substitute award issued by our successor or its parent.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a change in control occurs and we determine not to continue an award and provision is not made for the assumption or replacement of that award, then that award will instead be treated as follows:

(i) any time-based vesting conditions will be deemed satisfied upon the change in control;

(ii) any performance-based vesting conditions will be deemed satisfied upon the change in control at the "target" performance level or, if greater, at the level of performance achieved as of a date reasonably proximate to the change in control (without pro-ration of the applicable performance goals, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee);

(iii) if the award is an option or SAR, the vested portion of the award (taking into account any accelerated vesting occurring under clause (i) or (ii) above) may be exercised immediately prior to (and contingent upon the occurrence of) the change in control and, to the extent not then exercised, the entire award will be cancelled upon the occurrence of the change in control. Alternatively, the Compensation Committee may provide that, upon a change in control, an outstanding option or SAR may be cancelled in its entirety in exchange for cash and/or other substitute consideration with a value (as determined by the Compensation Committee) equal to: (1) the number of shares subject to the vested portion of that option or SAR (taking into account any accelerated vesting occurring under clauses (i) and (ii) above), multiplied by (2) the difference, if any, between the fair market value on the date of the change in control and the exercise price of that option or the base price of the SAR; provided, that if the fair market value on the date of the change in control does not exceed the exercise price of any such option or the base price of any such SAR, such option or SAR may be cancelled without payment of any consideration; and

(iv) if the award is an RSU, the award may be revised to apply to cash or substitute property with a value (as determined by the Compensation Committee) equal to the fair market value of the shares underlying the award at the time of the change in control. Such cash or other substitute property will be subject to the same settlement timing as the shares that had been subject to the RSU; provided that, subject to certain tax rules regarding non-qualified deferred compensation, the Compensation Committee may elect to liquidate the award on an accelerated basis.

Repricing of Options and SARs Prohibited

We may not, without shareholder approval, reduce the exercise price of outstanding options or SARs under the 2023 Plan or effect repricing through cancellation and re-grants or cancellation of options or SARs under the 2023 Plan in exchange for cash or other awards (other than equitable adjustments to reflect a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar change, as further described above under the heading "Adjustments for Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.").

Amendments and Termination

Our Board may amend or terminate the 2023 Plan at any time, provided that shareholder approval may be required for certain amendments under rules of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Generally, under current NYSE rules, material amendments to the 2023 Plan would include amendments that increase the number of shares of common stock available (other than adjustments to reflect a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split or similar change), expand the types of awards available or the persons eligible to receive awards or extend the term of the 2023 Plan. The Board may determine to make amendments to the 2023 Plan subject to the approval of the common shareholders for purposes of complying with the rules of the NYSE or to facilitate the grant of ISOs.

Miscellaneous

Generally, awards granted under the 2023 Plan may not be transferred, except by will or intestate succession. However, the Compensation Committee may in its discretion authorize the gratuitous transfer of awards (other than ISOs) to family members of the grantee, partnerships owned by such family members, trusts for the benefit of such family members or to similar estate planning vehicles.

Awards under the 2023 Plan will be subject to withholding for applicable taxes, to the extent required by law. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, a participant may elect to satisfy such required tax withholding through the withholding of shares subject to the award.

Awards under the 2023 Plan (and any shares subject to the awards) are subject to rescission, cancellation or recoupment, in whole or in part, under our clawback or similar policy, as in effect from time to time. Similarly, awards will be subject to recovery or clawback to the extent required pursuant to law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement.

Awards under the 2023 Plan (and any shares subject to the awards) will be subject to our stock ownership, securities trading, anti-hedging and other similar policies, as in effect from time to time.

Awards do not give participants rights as a holder of our common stock unless and until shares of our common stock are issued to such participants. Awards do not entitle any employee or other service provider to continue in the service with us or any of our affiliates.

Unless the term of the 2023 Plan is extended with the approval of our shareholders or terminated earlier by the Board, the 2023 Plan will expire on March 16, 2033 (i.e., ten (10) years after our Board approved the 2023 Plan).

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The federal income tax consequences of the issuance, exercise and/or settlement of awards under the 2023 Plan are described below. The following information is only a summary and does not address all aspects of taxation that may be relevant to a particular participant in light of his or her personal circumstances. Participants should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences inherent in the ownership and exercise of the awards and the ownership and disposition of any underlying securities. The summary does not address the effects of other federal taxes (including "golden parachute" excise taxes) or taxes imposed under state, local or foreign tax laws. Tax laws are subject to change and we do not guaranty the tax treatment of any award.

Generally, all amounts taxable as ordinary income to participants in respect of awards under the 2023 Plan are expected to be deductible us as compensation at the same time the participant recognizes the ordinary income, subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). Under Section 162(m), we generally cannot deduct compensation paid to certain covered employees in excess of $1 million per year.

2023 PROXY STATEMENT

Nonqualified Stock Options

A participant recognizes no taxable income when a non-qualified stock option is granted. Upon exercise of a non-qualified stock option, a participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares received over the exercise price of the non-qualified stock option. A participant's tax basis in shares of common stock received upon exercise of a non-qualified stock option will generally be equal to the fair market value of those shares on the exercise date, and the participant's holding period for such shares will begin at that time. Upon sale of shares of common stock received upon exercise of a non-qualified stock option, the participant will realize short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending on the period the shares are held. The amount of such gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the amount realized in connection with the sale of the shares and the participant's tax basis in such shares.

Incentive Stock Options

A participant recognizes no taxable income when an ISO is granted or exercised. As long as the participant meets the applicable holding period requirements for shares received upon exercise of an ISO (two (2) years from the date of grant and one (1) year from the date of exercise), gain or loss realized by a participant upon sale of the shares received upon exercise will be long-term capital gain or loss, and we will not be entitled to a deduction. If, however, the participant disposes of the shares before meeting the applicable holding period requirements (a "disqualifying disposition"), the participant will then recognize ordinary income. The amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant is limited to the lesser of the gain on such sale and the difference between the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of exercise and the option exercise price. Any gain realized in excess of this amount will be treated as short- or long-term capital gain (depending on how long the shares are held). If the option price exceeds the amount realized upon such a disposition, the difference will be short- or long-term capital loss (depending on how long the shares are held). Notwithstanding the above, individuals subject to Alternative Minimum Tax may recognize ordinary income upon exercise of an ISO.

Stock Appreciation Rights

A participant generally will not recognize taxable income upon the grant or vesting of a SAR. Upon exercising a SAR, a participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the base price and the fair market value of our common stock and/or the amount of cash received on the exercise date.

Restricted Stock

If a participant receives shares of restricted stock under the 2023 Plan and does not make the election described in the next paragraph, the participant will recognize no taxable income upon the receipt of the shares. When the forfeiture conditions with respect to the restricted stock lapse, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares at that time, less any amount paid for the shares. A participant's tax basis in shares of restricted stock will generally be equal to the income recognized when the forfeiture conditions lapse (plus any amount paid for the shares), and the participant's holding period for the shares will begin when the forfeiture conditions lapse. Upon sale of the shares, the participant will realize short- or long-term gain or loss, depending on how long the shares are held after the forfeiture conditions lapse. Such gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the sale of the shares and the participant's tax basis in the shares.

  BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST

Participants receiving shares of restricted stock may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code. By making a Section 83(b) election, the participant elects to recognize compensation income when the shares are received rather than at the time the forfeiture conditions lapse. The amount of such compensation income will be equal to the fair market value of the shares upon receipt (valued without regard to the forfeiture conditions and transfer restrictions applicable to the shares), less any amount paid for the shares. By making a Section 83(b) election, the participant will recognize no additional compensation income when the forfeiture conditions lapse. The participant's tax basis in shares with respect to which a Section 83(b) election is made will generally be equal to the income recognized at grant (plus any amount paid for the shares), and the participant's holding period for such shares will begin at the time of grant. Upon sale of the shares, the participant will realize short- or long-term capital gain or loss, depending on the period the shares were held. However, if the shares are forfeited, the participant will not be entitled to claim a deduction with respect to any income tax paid upon making the Section 83(b) election. To make a Section 83(b) election, a participant must file an appropriate form of election with the Internal Revenue Service and with his or her employer, each within thirty (30) days after the shares of restricted stock are issued.

Restricted Stock Units

No taxable income is recognized upon the grant of an RSU and any related dividend equivalent right. When shares of common stock or cash are delivered to a participant in respect of an RSU and any related dividend equivalent right, the value of the shares or cash is then taxable to the participant as ordinary income.

Cash or Other Stock-Based Awards

The taxation of cash or other stock-based awards will depend upon the design of such awards.

New Plan Benefits

If the 2023 Plan is approved by our shareholders, annual awards to our non-employee trustees will be made under the 2023 Plan immediately following the annual meeting. If the 2023 Plan is not approved, those same awards will be made under the 1997 Plan. In either case, the award to each non-employee trustee will be a number of fully vested shares of our common stock determined by dividing $115,000 by the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on the date of the annual meeting.

Other than the non-employee trustee awards described above, no awards are yet planned or committed to under the 2023 Plan. Insofar as other awards under the 2023 Plan will be determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, it is not possible to determine the number, name or positions of other persons who will benefit from the 2023 Plan, if it is approved by our shareholders, or the terms of any such benefits.

The table below reflects the new plan benefits that are determinable under the 2023 Plan as of the date of this proxy statement.

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This amount represents the $115,000 grant date fair value of the 2023 annual equity awards for six non-employee trustees. As noted above, the number of shares received by each non-employee trustee will be determined by dividing $115,000 by the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on the date of the annual meeting. The amount shown in the table above represents a single year of awards. Non-employee trustee equity awards are made at least annually and the amount of such awards may be adjusted from time to time, in the discretion of the Board.

Vote Required; Board Recommendation

Adoption of the 2023 Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast on this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes, which are not treated as votes cast, will therefore have no effect on the results of such vote. In the absence of specific direction, common shares represented by a proxy will be voted "FOR" the adoption of this proposal. Our Board unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the adoption of this proposal.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Other than compensation and other arrangements described above under "Trustee Compensation," "Executives and Executive Compensation" and as set forth below, since January 1, 2022, there was not, nor is there currently planned, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a party in which:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000; and  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Ø | any trustee, nominee, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our common shares or any member of their immediate family had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.  |

---

We refer to these types of transactions as "related party transactions."

Policies and Procedures for Review, Approval or Ratification of Related Party Transactions

Our Audit Committee's charter provides for review by the Audit Committee of related party transactions. In addition, our Declaration of Trust provides for approval of transactions in which any of our Trustees has an interest by a majority of our Trustees who have no interest in the transaction. Therefore, related party transactions with a Trustee require both review by our Audit Committee and approval by a majority of our Trustees who have no interest in the transaction. While our Declaration of Trust and our Audit Committee charter do not dictate the criteria or standards that our Trustees must follow in approving related party transactions, the Audit Committee and other independent Trustees will consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant, including, but not limited to, the risks, costs and benefits to us, the terms of the transaction, the availability of other sources for comparable services or products, and, if applicable, the impact on a Trustee's independence. Accordingly, our Trustees consider related party transactions in light of their duties under Maryland law.

Related Party Employment

Kathleen Sweeney-Pogwist, who has served as a Senior Vice President of Leasing of the Company (a non-executive officer position) since 2006, is the sister of Gerard H. Sweeney, our President and Chief Executive Officer. From 1998 to 2006, Ms. Sweeney-Pogwist was a leasing agent for the Company. Ms. Sweeney-Pogwist's employment with the Company, in light of her relationship to Mr. Sweeney, has been reviewed and approved by our independent Trustees each year. Ms. Sweeney-Pogwist earned total compensation of approximately $393,069 in 2022, comprised of base salary and commissions paid based on leasing activity and business plan achievement in accordance with the Company's standard commission practices as applied to each of our leasing agents. Ms. Sweeney-Pogwist's compensation structure is consistent with other leasing personnel with similar responsibilities. The Company believes that the above employment relationship is in our best interests and on terms no less favorable to us than could have been obtained in arms-length negotiations with unaffiliated third parties.

The expense of solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Trustees, including printing and postage, will be paid by us. Request will be made of brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the solicitation material, at our expense, to the beneficial owners of common shares held of record by such persons. In addition to being solicited through the mails, proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by our Trustees and officers. In addition, we have engaged Georgeson Inc. to solicit proxies for the Meeting. We have agreed to pay $9,200 plus out-of-pocket expenses of Georgeson Inc. for these services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control occurs and the Company determines not to continue an Award and provision is not made for the assumption or replacement of that Award, then that Award will instead be treated as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Any time-based vesting conditions will be deemed satisfied upon the Change in Control; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Any performance-based vesting conditions will be deemed satisfied upon the Change in Control at the "target" performance level or, if greater, at the level of performance achieved as of a date reasonably proximate to the Change in Control (without pro-ration of the applicable performance goals, unless otherwise determined by the Committee).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the Award is an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the vested portion of the Award (taking into account any accelerated vesting occurring under clauses (A) and (B) above) may be exercised immediately prior to (and contingent upon the occurrence of) the Change in Control and, to the extent not then exercised, the entire Award will be canceled upon the occurrence of the Change in Control. Alternatively, the Committee may provide that, upon a Change in Control, an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be canceled in its entirety in exchange for cash and/or other substitute consideration with a value (determined by the Committee to be) equal to: (1) the number of Shares subject to the vested portion of that Option or Stock Appreciation Right (taking into account any accelerated vesting occurring under clauses (A) and (B) above), multiplied by (2) the difference, if any, between the Fair Market Value on the date of the Change in Control and the exercise price of that Option or the base price of the Stock Appreciation Right; <u>provided</u>, that if the Fair Market Value on the date of the Change in Control does not exceed the exercise price of any such Option or the base price of any such Stock Appreciation Right, such Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be canceled without payment of any consideration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the Award is a Restricted Stock Unit, the Award may be revised to apply to cash or substitute property with a fair market value (as determined by the Committee) equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Award at the time of such Change in Control. Such cash or other substitute property will be subject to the same settlement timing as the Shares that had been subject to the Award; <u>provided</u>, that if the Award is non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may elect to liquidate the Award in accordance with <u>Section</u> <u>17</u> of this Plan.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Foreign Holders</u>. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws in countries other than the United States in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate or have employees, directors and consultants, or in order to comply with the requirements of any foreign securities exchange or other Applicable Law, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to: (i) modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to employees, directors and consultants outside the United States to comply with Applicable Law (including, without limitation, applicable foreign laws or listing requirements of any foreign securities exchange); (ii) establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no such subplans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitations contained in <u>Section</u> <u>3</u>; and (iii) take any action, before or after an Award is made, that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals or listing requirements of any foreign securities exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Annual Compensation Limitations for Non-Employee Trustees</u>. Beginning with the first fiscal year following the year in which the Effective Date occurs, the aggregate amount of equity and cash compensation (collectively "<u>Compensation</u>") payable to a Non-Employee Trustee with respect to a fiscal year, whether under the Plan or otherwise, for services as a Non-Employee Trustee shall not exceed $1,000,000 (the "<u>Trustee Limit</u>"). Equity incentive awards shall be counted towards the Trustee Limit in the year in which they are granted, based on the grant date fair value of such awards for financial reporting purposes (but excluding the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting provisions). Cash fees shall be counted towards the Trustee Limit in the year for which they are reported as compensation in the Company's trustee compensation disclosures pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, or a successor provision. The Trustee Limit shall not apply to (i) Compensation earned by a Non-Employee Trustee solely in his or her capacity as chairperson of the Board or lead independent trustee; (ii) Compensation earned with respect to services a Non-Employee Trustee provides in a capacity other than as a Non-Employee Trustee, such as an advisor or consultant to the Company; and (iii) Compensation awarded by the Board to a Non-Employee Trustee in extraordinary circumstances, as determined by the Board in its discretion, in each case provided that the Non-Employee Trustee receiving such additional Compensation does not participate in the decision to award such Compensation.

**Section 4.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Eligibility.** Employees, Trustees, consultants and other persons who provide services to the Company or its Affiliates are eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan; <u>provided</u> that such persons are eligible to be issued securities of the Company registered on Form S-8 or exempt from registration under Rule 701 under the Securities Act, as applicable (or any successor provision). However, only employees of the Company, any Parent or a Subsidiary are eligible to be granted Incentive Stock Options.

**Section 5.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Options.** Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options or (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options. The Award Agreement shall state whether such grant is an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

------

The Award Agreement evidencing any Option will incorporate the following terms and conditions and will contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Option Price</u>. The exercise price per Share under an Option will be determined by the Committee and will not be less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date of the grant. However, any Incentive Stock Option granted to any Participant who, at the time the Option is granted, owns, either directly and/or within the meaning of the attribution rules contained in Section 424(d) of the Code, stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, will have an exercise price per Share of not less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the date of the grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Option Term</u>. The term of each Option will be fixed by the Committee, but no Option will be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date the Option is granted. However, any Incentive Stock Option granted to any Participant who, at the time such Option is granted, owns, either directly and/or within the meaning of the attribution rules contained in Section 424(d) of the Code, stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, may not have a term of more than five (5) years. No Option may be exercised by any Person after expiration of the term of the Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Exercisability</u>. Options will vest and be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee. The Committee may provide in the terms of an Award Agreement that the Participant may exercise the unvested portion of an Option in whole or in part in exchange for shares of Restricted Stock subject to the same vesting terms as the portion of the Option so exercised. Restricted Stock acquired upon the exercise of an unvested Option shall be subject to such additional terms and conditions as determined by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Method of Exercise</u>. Subject to the terms of the applicable Award Agreement, the exercisability provisions of <u>Section</u> <u>5(c)</u> and the termination provisions of <u>Section</u> <u>7</u>, Options may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time during their term by the delivery of written notice to the Company specifying the number of Shares to be purchased. Such notice will be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price and any taxes required to be withheld in connection with such exercise, either by certified or bank check, in the manner described in the next sentence or by such other means as the Committee may accept. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit payment of the exercise price of an Option in the form of previously acquired Shares based on the fair market value of the Shares on the date the Option is exercised or by means of a "net settlement," whereby the Option exercise price will not be due in cash and where the number of Shares issued upon such exercise will be equal to: (A) the product of (i) the number of Shares as to which the Option is then being exercised, and (ii) the excess, if any, of (a) the then current Fair Market Value over (b) the Option exercise price, divided by (B) the then current Fair Market Value.

An Option will not confer upon a Participant any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder in the Company unless and until the Participant exercises the Option in accordance with the paragraph above and is issued Shares pursuant to such exercise.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Incentive Stock Option Limitations</u>. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year under the Plan and/or any other plan of the Company, its Parent or any Subsidiary will not exceed $100,000. For purposes of applying the foregoing limitation, Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order granted. To the extent any Option does not meet such limitation, that Option will be treated for all purposes as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Termination of Service</u>. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Award Agreement or as otherwise provided by the Committee at or after the time of grant, Options will be subject to the terms of <u>Section</u> <u>7</u> with respect to exercise upon or following termination of employment or other service.

**Section 6.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Stock Appreciation Rights.** Subject to the other terms of the Plan, the Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights. Each Stock Appreciation Right shall represent the right to receive, upon exercise, an amount equal to the number of Shares subject to the Award that is being exercised multiplied by the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value on the date the Award is exercised, over (ii) the base price specified in the applicable Award Agreement. Distributions may be made in cash, Shares, or a combination of both, at the discretion of the Committee. The Award Agreement evidencing each Stock Appreciation Right shall indicate the base price, the term and the vesting conditions for such Award. A Stock Appreciation Right base price may never be less than the Fair Market Value of an underlying Share of the Company on the date of grant of such Stock Appreciation Right. The term of each Stock Appreciation Right will be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted. Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement, Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time during their term by the delivery of written notice to the Company specifying the portion of the Award to be exercised. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Award Agreement or as otherwise provided by the Committee at or after the time of grant, Stock Appreciation Rights will be subject to the terms of <u>Section</u> <u>7</u> with respect to exercise upon or following termination of employment or other service.

**Section 7.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Termination of Service.** Unless otherwise specified with respect to a particular Option or Stock Appreciation Right in the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise determined by the Committee, any portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is not exercisable upon termination of service will expire immediately and automatically upon such termination and any portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is exercisable upon termination of service will expire on the date it ceases to be exercisable in accordance with this <u>Section</u> <u>7</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Termination by Reason of Death</u>. If a Participant's service with the Company or any Affiliate terminates by reason of death, any Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by such Participant may thereafter be exercised, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of his or her death or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine at or after grant, by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the Participant, for a period expiring (i) at such time as may be specified by the Committee at or after grant, or (ii) if not specified by the Committee, then twelve (12) months from the date of death, or (iii) if sooner than the applicable period specified under (i) or (ii) above, upon the expiration of the stated term of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Termination by Reason of Disability</u>. If a Participant's service with the Company or any Affiliate terminates by reason of Disability, any Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by such Participant may thereafter be exercised by the Participant or his or her personal representative, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine at or after grant, for a period expiring (i) at such time as may be specified by the Committee at or after grant, or (ii) if not specified by the Committee, then twelve (12) months from the date of termination of service, or (iii) if sooner than the applicable period specified under (i) or (ii) above, upon the expiration of the stated term of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Termination for Cause</u>. If a Participant's service with the Company or any Affiliate is terminated for Cause or if a Participant resigns at a time that there was a Cause basis for such Participant's termination: (i) any Option or Stock Appreciation Right, or portion thereof, not already exercised will be immediately and automatically forfeited as of the date of such termination, and (ii) any Shares that the Company has not yet delivered will be immediately and automatically forfeited and the Company will refund to the Participant the Option exercise price paid for such Shares, if any.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Other Termination</u>. If a Participant's service with the Company or any Affiliate terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Cause, any Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by such Participant may thereafter be exercised by the Participant, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such termination, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine at or after grant, for a period expiring (i) at such time as may be specified by the Committee at or after grant, or (ii) if not specified by the Committee, then 90 days from the date of termination of service, or (iii) if sooner than the applicable period specified under (i) or (ii) above, upon the expiration of the stated term of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right.

#### Section 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Restricted Stock .
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Issuance</u>. Restricted Stock may be issued either alone or in conjunction with other Awards. The Committee will determine the time that Restricted Stock is subject to forfeiture, and all other conditions of such Awards, including any performance goal(s) applicable to the Performance Shares. The purchase price for Restricted Stock may, but need not, be zero.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Certificates</u>. The certificate(s), if any, representing such shares shall be physically or electronically legended, as applicable, as to sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other encumbrances during the Restriction Period. If physical certificates are issued, they will be held in escrow by the Company or its designee during the Restriction Period. As a condition to any Award of Restricted Stock, the Participant may be required to deliver to the Company a share power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Shares covered by such Award.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Restrictions and Conditions</u>. The Award Agreement evidencing the grant of any Restricted Stock will incorporate the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; During a period commencing with the date of grant of Restricted Stock and ending at such time or times as specified by the Committee (the "<u>Restriction Period</u>"), the Participant will not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise encumber Restricted Stock. The Committee may condition the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock upon one or more vesting conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; While any Shares of Restricted Stock remain subject to restriction, the Participant will have the right to vote those Shares and the right to receive any distributions or dividends; <u>provided</u>*,* <u>however</u>, that the Committee, in its discretion, may require cash distributions and/or dividends to be accrued and subjected to the same vesting conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Stock with respect to which such amounts are paid, or reinvested in additional Restricted Stock (to the extent Shares are available under <u>Section</u> <u>3</u> of the Plan). Any distributions or dividends paid in the form of securities with respect to Restricted Stock will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid, including, without limitation, the same Restriction Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award Agreement or as otherwise determined by the Committee, if a Participant's service with the Company and its Affiliates terminates prior to the expiration of the applicable Restriction Period, the Participant's Restricted Stock that then remains subject to forfeiture will then be forfeited automatically.

**Section 9.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Restricted Stock Units.** Subject to the other terms of the Plan, the Committee may grant Restricted Stock Units and may impose one or more vesting conditions on such units. Each Restricted Stock Unit will represent a right to receive from the Company, upon fulfillment of any applicable conditions, an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (at the time of the distribution). Distributions may be made in cash, Shares, or a combination of both, at the discretion of the Committee. The Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Unit shall set forth the vesting conditions and time and form of payment with respect to such Award. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award Agreement or as otherwise determined by the Committee, if a Participant's service with the Company terminates prior to the Restricted Stock Unit Award vesting in full, any portion of the Participant's Restricted Stock Units that then remain subject to forfeiture will then be forfeited automatically. The Participant shall not have any stockholder rights with respect to the Shares subject to a Restricted Stock Unit Award until that Award vests and the Shares are actually issued thereunder; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that a Restricted Stock Unit Award may in the discretion of the Committee provide for dividend equivalent rights (either in the form of cash or additional unit credits), subject to <u>Section</u> <u>21</u> hereof.

------

**Section 10.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Cash or Other Stock-Based Awards.** The Committee may grant Cash or Other Stock-Based Awards hereunder. Such Cash or Other Stock-Based Awards may include, without limitation: (a) incentive, retention or other cash bonuses, (b) Shares not subject to any restrictions or conditions, (c) awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to Shares (including, without limitation, OP Interests that may be exchanged or redeemed for Shares, convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Shares, and awards valued by reference to book value of Shares), and (d) awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to the securities of the Operating Partnership or any other Subsidiary. For purposes of calculating the number of Shares underlying a Cash or Other Stock-Based Award that is payable in whole or in part in Shares (or convertible or exchangeable into Shares), relative to the total number of Shares reserved and available for issuance under <u>Section</u> <u>3(a)</u> hereof, the Committee will specify in the Award Agreement the maximum number of Shares potentially issuable thereunder (which maximum number will be subject to adjustment under <u>Section</u> <u>3(e)</u> hereof). The Award Agreement evidencing a Cash or Other-Stock Based Award will also set forth the other terms and conditions of such Cash or Other-Stock Based Award, including, as applicable, any term, exercise or purchase price, performance goals, vesting conditions, conversion or exchange ratios and other terms and conditions, including the treatment of such Cash or Other Stock-Based Award upon cessation of the Participant's service.

**Section 11.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Amendments and Termination.** Subject to any stockholder approval that may be required under Applicable Law, the Plan may be amended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Board.

**Section 12.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Repricing Prohibited**. The Company may not, without stockholder approval, reduce the exercise price or base price of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan or effect repricing through cancellation and re-grants or cancellation of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash or other Awards (other than equitable adjustments in accordance with <u>Section</u> <u>3(e)</u>).

**Section 13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Conditions Upon Grant of Awards and Issuance of Shares</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The implementation of the Plan, the grant of any Award and the issuance of Shares in connection with the issuance, exercise or vesting of any Award made under the Plan shall be subject to the Company's procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the Awards made under the Plan and the Shares issuable pursuant to those Awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No Shares or other assets shall be issued or delivered under the Plan unless and until there shall have been compliance with all applicable requirements of Applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the Company cannot, by the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts, obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the issuance or sale of Shares under this Plan, and such authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of those Shares, the Company will be relieved of any liability for failing to issue or sell those Shares.

------

**Section 14.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Limits on Transferability; Beneficiaries**. No Award or other right or interest of a Participant under the Plan shall be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to, or in favor of, or subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to, any party, other than the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or assigned or transferred by such Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such Awards and rights shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant or the Participant's guardian or legal representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its discretion, provide that Awards or other rights or interests of a Participant granted pursuant to the Plan (other than an Incentive Stock Option) be transferable, without consideration, to immediate family members (*i.e*., children, grandchildren or spouse), to trusts for the benefit of such immediate family members, to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners or to other similar estate planning vehicles. The Committee may attach to such transferability feature such terms and conditions as it deems advisable. In addition, a Participant may, in the manner established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary (which may be a person or a trust) to exercise the rights of the Participant, and to receive any distribution, with respect to any Award upon the death of the Participant. A beneficiary, guardian, legal representative or other Person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Participant shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to such Participant, except as otherwise determined by the Committee, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.

**Section 15.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Withholding of Taxes**. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant for federal income tax purposes with respect to any Award under the Plan, the Participant will pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant may elect to satisfy such required tax withholding through the withholding of Shares subject to the Award based on the fair market value of those Shares, as determined by the Company, but in any case not in excess of the amount determined based on the maximum statutory rate in the applicable jurisdiction. The obligations of the Company under the Plan will be conditioned on such payment or arrangements and the Company will have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant.

**Section 16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>General</u> <u>Provisions</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Committee may require each Participant to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the Participant is acquiring securities of the Company for investment purposes and without a view to distribution thereof and as to such other matters as the Committee believes are appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; All Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan will be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Board may deem necessary to reflect the terms of the applicable Award or advisable to comply with the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any stock exchange upon which the Shares are then listed, and any other Applicable Law, and the Board may cause such Shares or other securities to be legended to reflect those restrictions.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nothing contained in the Plan will prevent the Company from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required. Similarly, the grant of any Award will not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the execution of any document in connection with the Plan will: (i) confer upon any employee or other service provider of the Company or an Affiliate any right to continued employment or engagement with the Company or such Affiliate, or (ii) interfere in any way with the right of the Company or such Affiliate to terminate the employment or engagement of any of its employees or other service providers at any time.

**Section 17.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Section 409A**. All Awards are intended to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A and should be interpreted accordingly. Nonetheless, the Company does not guarantee any particular tax treatment for any Award. For any Award that is non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may elect to liquidate such Award at any time in a manner intended to comply with Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix) or any successor provision.

**Section 18.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Company Policies**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Clawback Policy</u>. All Awards (whether vested or unvested), and any Shares associated therewith, are subject to rescission, cancellation or recoupment, in whole or in part, under any current or future "clawback" or similar policy of the Company that is applicable to the Participant and in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, any Award which is subject to recovery under any law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, will be subject to such deductions and clawback as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Other Policies</u>. All Awards, and any Shares associated therewith, shall also be subject to the Company's stock ownership, securities trading, anti-hedging, anti-pledging and other similar policies, as in effect from time to time.

**Section 19.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Effectiveness of Plan.** The Plan was adopted by the Board on March 16, 2023 (the "<u>Adoption Date</u>"), subject to approval by the Company's stockholders (the date of such approval, the "<u>Effective Date</u>").

**Section 20.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Term of Plan.** Unless extended with the approval of the stockholders of the Company, the Plan shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Adoption Date, and no Awards shall thereafter be granted under the Plan.

**Section 21.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Dividend Equivalent Rights.** In the discretion of the Committee but subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, an Award (other than an Award of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights) may include dividend equivalent rights entitling a Participant to payments or credits equal to the cash dividends that would otherwise have been paid with respect to the Shares subject to an Award, had such Shares been outstanding. The

------

Committee may provide that such dividend equivalent rights will be paid or credited in cash, or paid or credited in Shares (based on the Fair Market Value on the dividend payment date). In each case, such dividend equivalent payments or credits may, in the discretion of the Committee, be subjected to the same vesting conditions as the Award to which they relate.

**Section 22.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Invalid Provisions.** In the event that any provision of this Plan is found to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable under any Applicable Law, such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed as rendering any other provisions contained herein as invalid or unenforceable, and all such other provisions will be given full force and effect to the same extent as though the invalid or unenforceable provision was not contained herein.

**Section 23.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Governing Law.** The Plan and all Awards granted hereunder will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws and judicial decisions of the State of Maryland, without regard to the application of the principles of conflicts of laws.

**Section 24.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Notices.** Any notice to be given to the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Plan must be given in writing and addressed, if to the Company, to its principal executive office to the attention of its General Counsel (or such other Person as the Company may designate in writing from time to time), and, if to the Participant, to the address contained in the Company's personnel files, or at such other address as that Participant may hereafter designate in writing to the Company. Any such notice will be deemed duly given: if delivered personally or via a recognized overnight delivery service, on the date and at the time so delivered; if sent via telecopier or email, on the date and at the time telecopied or emailed with confirmation of delivery; or, if mailed, five (5) days after the date of mailing by registered or certified mail.
