Brandywine Realty CFO Howard Sipzner replaced

Brandywine Realty Trust’s chief financial officer has unexpectedly been replaced by a company insider.

Howard M. Sipzner, 51, was “terminated” on Monday after being with the Radnor, Pa., real estate investment trust since 2006. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Brandywine said Sipzner’s departure “will be deemed a termination by the company for reasons other than cause.”

Sipzner, who also served as executive vice president, was replaced with Thomas E. Wirth, 50.

Wirth joined Brandywine in 2009 as an executive vice president overseeing its portfolio management and investments. Prior to joining Brandywine, Wirth served for five years as president and chief financial officer of Feldman Mall Properties.

In a statement, Gerard H. Sweeney, Brandywine’s president and CEO didn’t address why Sipzner was let go but thanked him for his contributions to the company.

Of Wirth, Sweeney said that his “broad-based skill sets in finance, accounting, investor relations and the capital markets will serve us well in the efficient execution of our business plan.”
