AMENDMENT NO. 9 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. 9 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 9") 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, by Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D of the Reporting Persons filed on
December 27, 2001, by Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D of the Reporting Persons
filed on January 15, 2002, by Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D of the Reporting
Persons filed on January 31, 2002, by Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D of the
Reporting Persons filed on February 7, 2002 and by Amendment No. 8 to Schedule
13D of the Reporting Persons filed on February 20, 2002 (as so amended, the
"Schedule 13D"). This Amendment No. 9 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 adding the following paragraph at the end thereof:
On March 20, 2002, Emanuel Pearlman, acting after discussions with
certain members of management of Vornado, purchased 100 Common Shares of the
Issuer with the intent of nominating Steven Roth (Chairman of the Board of
Trustees and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado) and Wendy Silverstein
(Executive Vice President of Vornado) for election to the Board of Trustees of
the Issuer at the 2002 annual meeting of shareholders of the Issuer. However,
there is no agreement between Mr. Pearlman, on the one hand, and Mr. Roth, Ms.
Silverstein, Vornado, the Operating Partnership or Vornado PS, on the other
hand, with respect to acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any securities
of the Issuer. On March 28, 2002, Mr. Pearlman gave notice to the Issuer in
accordance with Section 2.16 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Issuer of
his intent to nominate Mr. Roth and Ms. Silverstein for election to the Board
of Trustees of the Issuer at the 2002 annual meeting of shareholders of the
Issuer.

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 February 20, 2002, except to the extent that such transactions
may be deemed to have occurred as described in Item 4.
