Item 5.02

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

On May 13, 2021, PS Business Parks, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that John W. Petersen, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, will resign from the Company on or about June 11, 2021. A copy of this press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

On May 11, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”) approved a one-time special equity grant of approximately 6,526 restricted stock units to Jeffrey D. Hedges, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. The grant will vest in three equal installments, with the first installment vesting one year from the date of grant and each subsequent installment vesting annually thereafter. In approving the grant, the Compensation Committee considered a number of factors, including Mr. Hedges’s assistance with the responsibilities of Chief Operating Officer while Mr. Petersen served as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee’s expectation that Mr. Hedges will continue to provide significant assistance with those responsibilities for the foreseeable future, and Mr. Hedges’s continuing assistance with the leadership transition resulting from the Company’s recent appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer.
