AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO SCHEDULE 13D RELATING TO THE COMMON SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST OF PRIME GROUP REALTY TRUST Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado"), Vornado Realty L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and Vornado PS, L.L.C. ("Vornado PS" and, collectively with Vornado and the Operating Partnership, the "Reporting Persons") hereby amend their Statement on Schedule 13D filed with respect to the Common Shares of Beneficial Interest, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Shares"), of Prime Group Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the "Issuer"). This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 5") should be read in conjunction with the Statement on Schedule 13D of the Reporting Persons filed on November 2, 2001 (the "Initial Schedule 13D"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D of the Reporting Persons filed on November 20, 2001, by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D of the Reporting Persons filed on December 19, 2001, by Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D of the Reporting Persons filed on December 21, 2001 and by Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D of the Reporting Persons filed on December 27, 2001 (as so amended, the "Schedule 13D"). This Amendment No. 5 amends the Schedule 13D only with respect to the items listed below. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Initial Schedule 13D. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 under the Exchange Act, each of the Reporting Persons declares that the filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that such Reporting Person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of any Common Shares. Any disclosures made herein with respect to persons other than the Reporting Persons are made on information and belief after making appropriate inquiry. Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction. Item 4 is hereby amended by deleting the last two sentences of the fourth paragraph of Item 4 and by adding the following paragraph at the end of Item 4: On January 4, 2002, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware issued an order staying the Bankruptcy Court's dismissal of the Borrower's bankruptcy petition pending the Borrower's appeal to the District Court. The order resulted in reinstating the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, Vornado PS has canceled the Foreclosure Auction previously scheduled for January 22, 2002. Vornado PS and the Borrower have agreed to complete the briefing of the appeal by January 18, 2002. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. Item 5 is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the end of paragraph (c) thereof: No transactions in the Common Shares were effected by Reporting Persons since December 27, 2001, except to the extent that such transactions may be deemed to have occurred as described in Item 4. -5-
