CHICAGO, Jul 09, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PGE | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Prime Group Realty Trust (NYSE: PGEPRB; the "Company") announced today that the Company's Board of Trustees determined not to declare a quarterly distribution on its Series B Preferred Shares for the second quarter of 2009, and that the Board is unable to determine when the Company might recommence distributions on the Series B Preferred Shares. The Board is also in the process of considering various financing and other capitalization alternatives for the Company.

The Board's decision was based on the Company's current capital resources and liquidity needs and the overall negative state of the economy and capital markets. The Board intends to review the suspension of the Series B Preferred distributions periodically based on the Board's ongoing review of the Company's financial results, capital resources and liquidity needs, and the condition of the economy and capital markets. The Company can give no assurances that distributions on the Company's Series B Preferred Shares will be resumed, or that any financing or other capitalization alternatives will be satisfactorily concluded.
