, pursuant to which Pershing Square would own a majority of the Company\u2019s common stock as a result of such merger. Pershing Square currently beneficially owns approximately 37.6% of the Company’s common stock. <\/p>\n

As previously announced on August 8, 2024, the Howard Hughes Board of Directors formed a Special Committee, comprised of independent directors, in response to interest expressed by Pershing Square in exploring a possible transaction. The Special Committee will evaluate the proposal and determine the appropriate course of action and process. No action is required by HHH stockholders at this time.<\/p>\n

The proposal is conditioned on, among other things, the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, as well as approval and recommendation of the proposal by the Special Committee and approval by holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock not owned by Pershing Square or parties affiliated with or advised by Pershing Square.<\/p>\n

There can be no assurance that the Company will pursue this proposed transaction or any other strategic outcome, and HHH does not intend to comment further on this matter unless and until further disclosure is determined to be appropriate or necessary.<\/p>\n

The proposal letter is included as an exhibit to the Company\u2019s Form 8-K filed on January 13, 2025, available with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is acting as financial advisor to the Special Committee, and Hogan Lovells US LLP and Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A. are acting as legal counsel.<\/p>\n
