Effective January 1, 2013, Education Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amended and restated executive employment agreement (the “Amended and Restated Employment Agreement”) with Thomas Trubiana, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, that amends and supersedes the existing employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Trubiana (the “Prior Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (i) provides for a new three year term beginning January 1, 2013 and (ii) revises the payment obligation of the Company after a “Change of Control” (as defined in the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement) such that if the Company terminates Mr. Trubiana’s employment “Without Cause” or Mr. Trubiana resigns for “Good Reason” (each as defined in the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement), the Company would be obligated to pay Mr. Trubiana a separation payment equal to two point ninety-nine times (2.99x) the sum of (a) Mr. Trubiana’s then current base salary, and (b) Mr. Trubiana’s average bonus for the two year period prior to the Change of Control, rather than two times (2x) the sum of (a) and (b) as specified in the Prior Agreement. All other terms of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement are unchanged from the Prior Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated by reference herein.
