Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On October 30, 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of PS Business Parks, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a one-time special equity retention grant of 20,000 restricted stock units (the “Special Retention Grant”) to John W. Petersen, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer. The Special Retention Grant will vest in five equal installments, with the first installment vesting on or around March 1, 2021 and each subsequent installment vesting annually thereafter.

The Compensation Committee determined that the Special Retention Grant was appropriate in light of Mr. Petersen’s service as the Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, a role Mr. Petersen has held since April 20, 2020. Mr. Petersen has not previously received any additional compensation for his service as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. Further, the Compensation Committee deemed it important to retain Mr. Petersen while the Board of Directors continues to search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer and beyond, especially in light of the operational challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the competitive market for talent.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
