YOU MUST SIGN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL WHERE INDICATED BELOW AND COMPLETE THE IRS FORM W-9 PROVIDED BELOW OR APPROPRIATE IRS FORM W-8.
This Amended Letter of Transmittal is to be used either if you hold certificates for Common Shares, or your Common Shares are held in book entry form on the records of the Depositary or, unless an Agent’s Message (defined below) is utilized, if delivery of Common Shares is to be made by book-entry transfer to an account maintained by the Depositary at The Depository Trust Company, which is referred to as the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. Tendering stockholders must deliver either the certificates for, or timely confirmation of book-entry transfer in accordance with the procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase with respect to, their Common Shares and all other documents required by this Amended Letter of Transmittal to the Depositary by 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, at the end of November 28, 2022 (as this time may be extended at any time or from time to time by the Purchasers in their sole discretion in accordance with the terms of the Offer). See Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase. Tendering stockholders whose certificates for Common Shares are not immediately available or who cannot deliver either the certificates for, or timely confirmation of book-entry in accordance with the procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase with respect to, their Common Shares and all other documents required by this Amended Letter of Transmittal to the Depositary by the time provided immediately above must tender their Common Shares in accordance with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.
Your attention is directed in particular to the following:
1. If you want to retain the Common Shares you own, you do not need to take any action.
2. If you want to participate in the Offer and wish to maximize the chance that the Purchasers will accept for payment Common Shares you are tendering by this Amended Letter of Transmittal, you should check the box marked “Common Shares Tendered At Price Determined Under The Offer” below and complete the other portions of this Amended Letter of Transmittal as appropriate. You should understand that this election may effectively lower the Purchase Price and could result in your Common Shares being purchased at the minimum price of $61.00 per Common Share, a price that could be below the last reported sale price of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the Expiration Date.
3. If you wish to select a specific price at which you will be tendering your Common Shares, you should select one of the boxes in the section captioned “Common Shares Tendered At Price Determined By Stockholder” below and complete the other portions of this Amended Letter of Transmittal as appropriate.

The undersigned wants to maximize the chance that the Purchasers will accept for payment all of the Common Shares the undersigned is tendering (subject to the possibility of proration). Accordingly, by checking this box instead of one of the price boxes below, the undersigned hereby tenders Common Shares at, and is willing to accept, the purchase price determined by the Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Offer. The undersigned understands that this action will result in the undersigned’s Common Shares being deemed to be tendered at the minimum price of $61.00 per Common Share for purposes of determining the Purchase Price. This may effectively lower the Purchase Price and could result in the undersigned receiving a price as low as $61.00 per Common Share.
2.
COMMON SHARES TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED BY STOCKHOLDER
By checking ONE of the following boxes INSTEAD OF THE BOX UNDER “Common Shares Tendered At Price Determined Under The Offer,” the undersigned hereby tenders Common Shares at the price checked.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned hereby tenders to Pershing Square, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“PS”), Pershing Square International, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PS International”), and Pershing Square Holdings, Ltd., a limited liability company incorporated in Guernsey (“PSH” and together with PS and PS International, the “Purchasers”), the above-described shares of The Howard Hughes Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), at the price per Common Share indicated in this Amended Letter of Transmittal, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchasers’ Offer to Purchase dated October 14, 2022 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, including by the Amendment and Supplement to the Offer to Purchase, dated November 11, 2022, the “Offer to Purchase”) and this Amended Letter of Transmittal (which together, as they may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Offer”), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.
Subject to and effective on acceptance for payment of, and payment for, the Common Shares tendered with this Amended Letter of Transmittal in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Offer, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Purchasers, all right, title and interest in and to all the Common Shares that are being tendered and irrevocably constitutes and appoints Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the Offer (the “Depositary”), the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), to the full extent of the undersigned’s rights with respect to such tendered Common Shares, to (a) deliver certificates for such tendered Common Shares or transfer ownership of such tendered Common Shares on the account books maintained by The Depository Trust Company (the “Book-Entry Transfer Facility”), together, in any such case, with all accompanying evidence of transfer and authenticity to, or upon the order of, the Purchasers upon receipt by the Depositary, as the undersigned’s agent, of the aggregate purchase price with respect to such tendered Common Shares, (b) present such tendered Common Shares for transfer on books of The Howard Hughes Corporation and (c) receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such tendered Common Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the tendered Common Shares and, when the same are accepted for payment, the Purchasers will acquire good title thereto, free and clear of all liens, security interests, restrictions, charges, claims, encumbrances, conditional sales agreements or other similar obligations relating to the sale or transfer of the tendered Common Shares, and the same will not be subject to any adverse claim or right. The undersigned will, on request by the Depositary or the Purchasers, execute any additional documents deemed by the Depositary or the Purchasers to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the tendered Common Shares (and any and all such other Common Shares or other securities or rights), all in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred pursuant to this Amended Letter of Transmittal shall be binding on the successors, assigns, heirs, personal representatives, executors, administrators and other legal representatives of the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned. Except as stated in the Offer to Purchase, this tender is irrevocable.
The undersigned understands that:
1. the valid tender of Common Shares pursuant to any of the procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase and in the instructions to this Amended Letter of Transmittal constitutes the undersigned’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Offer; the Purchasers’ acceptance of the tendered Common Shares will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Purchasers on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer;
2. it is a violation of Rule 14e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for a person acting alone or in concert with others, directly or indirectly, to tender Common Shares for such person’s own account unless, at the time of tender and at the Expiration Date,
5
the person so tendering (1) has a “net long position” equal to or greater than the amount of Common Shares tendered in (a) Common Shares or (b) (i) other securities immediately convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Common Shares or (ii) any other right or option (other than a standardized call option) that entitles the holder thereof to acquire Common Shares, but only if the holder thereof reasonably believes that the maker or writer of the right or option has title to and possession of the Common Shares and upon exercise will promptly deliver the Common Shares (“Equivalent Securities”) and, upon acceptance of the tender, will acquire the Common Shares by conversion, exchange or exercise of such Equivalent Securities and (2) will deliver or cause to be delivered the Common Shares in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
Exchange Act Rule 14e-4 also provides a similar restriction applicable to the tender or guarantee of a tender on behalf of another person. A tender of Common Shares made pursuant to any method of delivery set forth in this Amended Letter of Transmittal will constitute the tendering stockholder’s representation and warranty to the Purchasers that (y) such stockholder has a “net long position” in Common Shares or Equivalent Securities being tendered within the meaning of Exchange Act Rule 14e-4, and (z) such tender of Common Shares complies with Exchange Act Rule 14e-4. The Purchasers’ acceptance for payment of Common Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering stockholder and the Purchasers upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer;
3. the Purchasers will, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, determine the Purchase Price, not greater than $70.00 nor less than $61.00 per Common Share, which will be the lowest single purchase price within that range that will allow the Purchasers to purchase 6,340,000 Common Shares (or, if fewer than 6,340,000 Common Shares are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Common Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn);
4. the Purchasers reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to increase or decrease the per Common Share purchase price range and to increase or decrease the number of Common Shares sought in the Offer. In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Purchasers may increase the number of Common Shares accepted for payment in the Offer by no more than 2% of the outstanding Common Shares without amending or extending the Offer;
5. Common Shares properly tendered prior to the Expiration Date at or below the Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn will be purchased in the Offer at the Purchase Price, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer;
6. the Purchasers will return at their expense all Common Shares the Purchasers do not purchase, including Common Shares tendered at prices greater than the Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn and Common Shares not purchased because of proration, promptly following the Expiration Date;
7. under the circumstances set forth in the Offer to Purchase, the Purchasers expressly reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to terminate the Offer at any time and from time to time, upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase and to extend the period of time during which the Offer is open and thereby delay acceptance for payment of, and payment for, any Common Shares by giving oral or written notice of such extension to the Depositary and making a public announcement thereof. During any such extension, all Common Shares previously tendered and not properly withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer and to the rights of a tendering stockholder to withdraw such stockholder’s Common Shares;
8. stockholders who cannot deliver their certificates and all other required documents to the Depositary or complete the procedures for book-entry transfer prior to the Expiration Date may tender their Common Shares by properly completing, duly executing and delivering the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase;
9. the Purchasers have advised the undersigned to consult with the undersigned’s own advisors as to the consequences of tendering Common Shares pursuant to the Offer; and
6
10. THE PURCHASERS ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE THE MAKING OF THE OFFER IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. IF THE PURCHASERS BECOME AWARE OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE THE MAKING OF THE OFFER OR THE ACCEPTANCE OF COMMON SHARES PURSUANT TO THE OFFER IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PURCHASERS WILL MAKE A GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE LAW. IF, AFTER A GOOD FAITH EFFORT, THE PURCHASERS CANNOT COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE LAW, THE OFFER WILL NOT BE MADE TO THE HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES RESIDING IN THAT JURISDICTION. IN MAKING THE OFFER, THE PURCHASERS WILL COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 14D-10 PROMULGATED UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT.
The undersigned agrees to all of the terms and conditions of the Offer.
Unless otherwise indicated below in the section captioned “Special Payment Instructions,” please issue the check for payment of the purchase price and/or return any certificates for Common Shares not tendered or accepted for payment in the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appearing under “Description of Common Shares Tendered.” Similarly, unless otherwise indicated under “Special Delivery Instructions,” please mail the check for payment of the purchase price and/or return any certificates for Common Shares not tendered or accepted for payment (and accompanying documents, as appropriate) to the address(es) of the registered holder(s) appearing under “Description of Common Shares Tendered.” In the event that both the “Special Delivery Instructions” and the “Special Payment Instructions” are completed, please issue the check for payment of the purchase price and/or return any certificates for Common Shares not tendered or accepted for payment (and any accompanying documents, as appropriate) in the name(s) of, and deliver such check and/or return such certificates (and any accompanying documents, as appropriate) to, the person or persons so indicated. Appropriate medallion signature guarantees by an Eligible Institution (as defined in Instruction 1) have been included with respect to Common Shares for which Special Payment Instructions have been given. The undersigned recognizes that the Purchasers have no obligation pursuant to the “Special Payment Instructions” to transfer any Common Shares from the name of the registered holder(s) thereof if the Purchasers do not accept for payment any of the Common Shares.

INSTRUCTIONS
Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Offer
1. Guarantee of Signatures. No signature guarantee is required on this Amended Letter of Transmittal if (a) this Amended Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) (which term, for purposes of this Instruction 1, includes any participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility’s system whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of the Common Shares) of Common Shares tendered herewith, unless such registered holder(s) has (have) completed the section captioned “Special Payment Instructions” on this Amended Letter of Transmittal or (b) such Common Shares are tendered for the account of a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity that is a member in good standing of a medallion program approved by the Securities Transfer Agents Association, Inc., including the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program or the Stock Exchange Medallion Program, or is otherwise an “eligible guarantor institution,” as the term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 17Ad-15, each of the foregoing constituting an “Eligible Institution.” In all other cases, all signatures on this Amended Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 6. If you have any questions regarding the need for a signature guarantee, please call the Information Agent at (800) 848-3402.
2. Requirements of Tender. This Amended Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by stockholders either if certificates are to be forwarded herewith, shares are held in book-entry form on the records of the Depositary or, unless an Agent’s Message is utilized, if delivery of Common Shares is to be made pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. For a stockholder to validly tender Common Shares pursuant to the Offer, the holder must follow one of the following procedures:
•
For Common Shares held as physical certificates, an Amended Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and the certificate(s) representing the tendered Common Shares, together with any required signature guarantees, and any other required documents, must be received by the Depositary at one of its addresses set forth on the back of this Amended Letter of Transmittal prior to the Expiration Date.
•
For Common Shares held in book-entry form, an Amended Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile of the Amended Letter of Transmittal), properly completed and duly executed, or an Agent’s Message in lieu of this Amended Letter of Transmittal, and any other required documents, must be received by the Depositary at one of its addresses set forth on the back of this Amended Letter of Transmittal prior to the Expiration Date and such Common Shares must be delivered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer set forth in this Amended Letter of Transmittal (and a book-entry confirmation must be received by the Depositary) prior to the Expiration Date.
•
Alternatively, the stockholder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth below and in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase.
Stockholders whose certificates for Common Shares are not immediately available or who cannot deliver their certificates and all other required documents to the Depositary or complete the procedures for book-entry transfer prior to the Expiration Date may tender their Common Shares by properly completing and duly executing the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. Pursuant to those procedures, (a) tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution, (b) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form provided by the Purchasers, must be received by the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date and (c) the certificates for all tendered Common Shares in proper form for transfer (or a book-entry confirmation with respect to all such Common Shares), together with an Amended Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile of the Amended Letter of Transmittal), properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees, or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent’s Message, and any other required documents, must be received by the Depositary, in each case by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, within two trading days following the Expiration Date as provided in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. A “trading day” is any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. The term “Agent’s Message” means a message transmitted by the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to, and received by, the Depositary, which states that the Book-Entry Transfer Facility has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility tendering the Common Shares that such participant
10
has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Amended Letter of Transmittal and that the Purchasers may enforce such agreement against the participant.
Tenders of Common Shares made pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date. If the Purchasers extend the Offer beyond that time, tendered Common Shares may be withdrawn at any time until the extended Expiration Date. Common Shares that have not previously been accepted by the Purchasers for payment may be withdrawn at any time after 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, at the end of December 12, 2022. To withdraw tendered Common Shares, stockholders must deliver a written notice of withdrawal to the Depositary within the prescribed time period at one of the addresses set forth in this Amended Letter of Transmittal. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the tendering stockholder, the number of Common Shares to be withdrawn, and the name of the registered holder of the Common Shares. In addition, if the certificates for Common Shares to be withdrawn have been delivered or otherwise identified to the Depositary, then, before the release of the certificates, the tendering stockholder must also submit the serial numbers shown on the particular certificates for Common Shares to be withdrawn. If Common Shares have been tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer, the notice of withdrawal also must specify the name and the number of the account at Book-Entry Transfer Facility to be credited with the withdrawn Common Shares and otherwise comply with the procedures of that facility. Withdrawals may not be rescinded and any Common Shares withdrawn will not be properly tendered for purposes of the Offer unless the withdrawn Common Shares are properly re-tendered prior to the Expiration Date by following the procedures described above.
THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF COMMON SHARES, THIS AMENDED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING DELIVERY THROUGH THE BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITY, IS AT THE SOLE ELECTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING STOCKHOLDER. COMMON SHARES, THIS AMENDED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS WILL BE DEEMED DELIVERED ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF A BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, BY BOOK-ENTRY CONFIRMATION). IF YOU ELECT TO DELIVER BY MAIL, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, AND THAT YOU PROPERLY INSURE THE DOCUMENTS. IN ALL CASES, YOU SHOULD ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.
Except as specifically provided by the Offer to Purchase, no alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. No fractional Common Shares will be purchased. All tendering stockholders, by execution of this Amended Letter of Transmittal (or a facsimile of this Amended Letter of Transmittal), waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance for payment of their Common Shares.
3. Inadequate Space. If the space provided in this Amended Letter of Transmittal is inadequate, the number of Common Shares and/or the certificate numbers should be listed on a separate signed schedule attached hereto.
4. Partial Tenders. If fewer than all of the Common Shares represented by any certificate or shares held in book-entry on the records of the Depositary submitted to the Depositary are to be tendered, fill in the number of Common Shares that are to be tendered in the box entitled “Description of Common Shares Tendered.” In such case, a Direct Registration Book Entry Statement for the remainder of Common Shares represented by the old certificate will be issued and sent to the person(s) signing this Amended Letter of Transmittal, as promptly as practicable following the expiration or termination of the Offer. You MUST indicate the number of shares you are tendering. Otherwise, all shares represented by certificate(s) or book-entry delivered to the Depositary Agent will be deemed to have been tendered.
5. Indication of Price at Which Common Shares are Being Tendered. For Common Shares to be properly tendered, the stockholder MUST either (1) check the box in the section captioned “Common Shares Tendered At Price Determined Under The Offer” in order to maximize the chance of having the Purchasers accept for payment all of the Common Shares tendered (subject to the possibility of proration) or (2) check the box indicating the price per Common Share at which such stockholder is tendering Common Shares under “Common Shares Tendered At Price Determined by Stockholder.” Selecting option (1) could result in the stockholder receiving a price per Common Share as low as $61.00. ONLY ONE BOX UNDER (1) OR (2) MAY BE CHECKED. IF MORE THAN ONE BOX IS CHECKED OR IF NO BOX IS
11
CHECKED, THERE IS NO PROPER TENDER OF COMMON SHARES. A STOCKHOLDER WISHING TO TENDER PORTIONS OF SUCH STOCKHOLDER’S COMMON SHARE HOLDINGS AT DIFFERENT PRICES MUST COMPLETE A SEPARATE AMENDED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL FOR EACH PRICE AT WHICH SUCH STOCKHOLDER WISHES TO TENDER EACH SUCH PORTION OF SUCH STOCKHOLDER’S COMMON SHARES. The same Common Shares cannot be tendered more than once, unless previously properly withdrawn as provided in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase.
6. Signatures on Amended Letter of Transmittal, Stock Powers and Endorsements. If this Amended Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Common Shares tendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificate(s) without any change or alteration whatsoever.
If any of the Common Shares tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such persons must sign this Amended Letter of Transmittal.
If any Common Shares tendered hereby are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of certificates.
If this Amended Letter of Transmittal or any certificate or stock power is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, he, she or they should so indicate when signing and submit proper evidence satisfactory to the Purchasers of his, her or their authority to so act.
If this Amended Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered owner(s) of the Common Shares tendered hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate stock powers are required unless payment of the purchase price is to be made, or certificates for Common Shares not tendered or accepted for payment are to be issued, to a person other than the registered owner(s). Signatures on any such certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.
If this Amended Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered owner(s) of the Common Shares tendered hereby, the certificate(s) representing such Common Shares must be properly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered owner(s) appear(s) on the certificates(s). The signature(s) on any such certificate(s) or stock power(s) must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.
7. Stock Transfer Taxes. The Purchasers will pay any stock transfer taxes with respect to the transfer and sale of Common Shares to it pursuant to the Offer. If, however, payment of the purchase price is to be made to, or if Common Shares not tendered or accepted for payment are to be registered in the name of, any person(s) other than the registered owner(s), or if Common Shares tendered hereby are registered in the name(s) of any person(s) other than the person(s) signing this Amended Letter of Transmittal, the amount of any stock transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered owner(s) or such other person(s)) payable on account of the transfer to such person(s) will be deducted from the purchase price unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or exemption from the payment of such taxes is submitted with this Amended Letter of Transmittal.
Except as provided in this Instruction 7, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the certificates listed in this Amended Letter of Transmittal.
8. Special Payment and Delivery Instructions. If a check for the purchase price of any Common Shares accepted for payment is to be issued in the name of, and/or certificates for any Common Shares not accepted for payment or not tendered are to be issued in the name of and/or returned to, a person other than the signer of this Amended Letter of Transmittal or if a check is to be sent, and/or such certificates are to be returned, to a person other than the signer of this Amended Letter of Transmittal or to an address other than that shown above, the appropriate boxes on this Amended Letter of Transmittal should be completed.
9. Waiver of Conditions; Irregularities. All questions as to the number of Common Shares to be accepted, the purchase price to be paid for Common Shares to be accepted, the validity, form, eligibility
12
(including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender of Common Shares and the validity (including time of receipt) and form of any notice of withdrawal of tendered Common Shares will be determined by the Purchasers, in their sole discretion, and such determination will be final and binding on all parties, subject to a stockholder’s right to challenge the Purchasers’ determination in a court of competent jurisdiction. The Purchasers may delegate power in whole or in part to the Depositary. The Purchasers reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of any Common Shares that the Purchasers determine are not in proper form or the acceptance for payment of or payment for which may, in the opinion of the Purchasers’ counsel, be unlawful. The Purchasers reserve the absolute right to reject any notices of withdrawal that it determines are not in proper form. The Purchasers also reserve the absolute right, subject to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to waive any of the conditions of the Offer on or prior to the Expiration Date, or any defect or irregularity in any tender or withdrawal with respect to any particular Common Shares or any particular stockholder (whether or not the Purchasers waive similar defects or irregularities in the case of other stockholders), and the Purchasers’ interpretation of the terms of the Offer (including these instructions) will be final and binding on all parties, subject to a stockholder’s right to challenge the Purchasers’ determination in a court of competent jurisdiction. No tender or withdrawal of Common Shares will be deemed to have been properly made until all defects or irregularities have been cured by the tendering or withdrawing stockholder or waived by the Purchasers. The Purchasers will not be liable for failure to waive any condition of the Offer, or any defect or irregularity in any tender or withdrawal of Common Shares. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders or withdrawals must be cured within the period of time the Purchasers determine. None of the Pershing Square Persons, the Information Agent, the Dealer Manager, the Depositary or any other person will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in any tender or withdrawal, nor will any of the foregoing incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
10. Backup Withholding. In order to avoid backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax on payments of cash pursuant to the Offer, a U.S. Holder (as defined below) tendering Common Shares in the Offer must (a) qualify for an exemption, as described below, or (b) provide the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent with such U.S. Holder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) (i.e., social security number or employer identification number) on IRS Form W-9, a copy of which is included with this Amended Letter of Transmittal, and certify under penalties of perjury that (i) the TIN provided is correct, (ii) (x) the U.S. Holder is exempt from backup withholding, (y) the U.S. Holder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) that such U.S. Holder is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (z) the IRS has notified the U.S. Holder that such U.S. Holder is no longer subject to backup withholding, and (iii) the U.S. Holder is a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien). If a U.S. Holder does not provide a correct TIN or fails to provide the certifications described above, the IRS may impose a certain penalties on such U.S. Holder and payment of cash to such U.S. Holder pursuant to the Offer may be subject to backup withholding at the applicable statutory rate (currently 24%).
A “U.S. Holder” is any stockholder that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a domestic corporation (including an entity taxable as a corporation) or partnership or of any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust, if (x) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of the backup withholding can be credited against the U.S. federal income tax liability of the person subject to the backup withholding, provided that the required information is timely given to the IRS. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a refund can be obtained upon timely filing an income tax return.
A tendering U.S. Holder is required to give the Depositary or other applicable withholding agent the TIN of the record owner of the Common Shares being tendered. If the Common Shares are held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the instructions to the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for guidance on which number to report.
13
If a U.S. Holder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for one or intends to apply for one in the near future, such U.S. Holder should write “Applied For” in the space provided for the TIN in Part I of the IRS Form W-9, and sign and date the IRS Form W-9. Writing “Applied For” means that a U.S. Holder has already applied for a TIN or that such U.S. Holder intends to apply for one soon. Notwithstanding that the U.S. Holder has written “Applied For” in Part I, the Depositary will withhold the applicable statutory rate (currently 24%) on all payments made prior to the time a properly certified TIN is provided to the Depositary.
Some stockholders are exempt from information reporting and backup withholding. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, exempt stockholders should consult the instructions to the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for additional guidance.
Non-U.S. Holders (as defined in Section 12 of the Offer to Purchase) should complete and sign the main signature form and IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable IRS Form W-8) in order to avoid backup withholding. A copy of the appropriate IRS Form W-8 may be obtained from the IRS website (www.irs.gov). A disregarded domestic entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate IRS Form W-8, and not the IRS Form W-9. See the instructions to the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for more instructions.
11. Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies. If you have questions or need assistance, you should contact the Information Agent or the Dealer Manager at their respective addresses and telephone numbers set forth on the back cover of this Amended Letter of Transmittal. If you require additional copies of the Offer to Purchase, this Amended Letter of Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, the IRS Form W-9 or other related materials, you should contact the Information Agent. Copies will be furnished promptly at the Purchasers’ expense.
12. Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Certificates. If any certificate representing Common Shares has been lost, destroyed or stolen, the stockholder should promptly notify the Depositary at the toll-free number (800) 522-6645. The stockholder will then be instructed by the Depositary as to the steps that must be taken in order to replace the certificate. This Amended Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing lost, destroyed or stolen certificates have been followed.
13. Order of Purchase in Event of Proration. As described in Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase, stockholders may designate the order in which their Common Shares are to be purchased in the event of proration. The order of purchase may have an effect on the U.S. federal income tax classification and the amount of any gain or loss on the Common Shares purchased. See Sections 1 and 12 of the Offer to Purchase.
14. Soliciting Dealer Fee. If the Offer is successfully completed, the Purchasers will pay to brokers for any tender of Common Shares by a tendering stockholder that are purchased by the Purchasers an aggregate fee of $0.05 per Common Share (the “Soliciting Dealer Fee”), if such broker is appropriately designated by their clients to receive such a fee. In order to be eligible to receive the Soliciting Dealer Fee, a properly completed Soliciting Dealer Form on Annex B of the Offer to Purchase must be returned to the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date. The Purchasers shall, in their sole discretion, determine whether a broker has satisfied the criteria for receiving a Soliciting Dealer Fee (including, without limitation, the submission of the Soliciting Dealer Form and appropriate documentation without defects or irregularities and in respect of bona fide tenders).
In order to qualify for the Soliciting Dealer Fee, a broker must be either (i) a broker or dealer in securities which is a member of any national securities exchange in the United States or of FINRA or (ii) a bank or trust company located in the United States.
A broker is not entitled to a Soliciting Dealer Fee:
•
with respect to the Common Shares beneficially owned by the broker or any of its affiliates;
•
with respect to the Common Shares that are registered in the name of the broker, unless those the Common Shares are held by the broker as a nominee and are tendered on behalf of the beneficial owner of those Common Shares;
14
•
with respect to the Common Shares tendered by the holder of record, for the account of that holder, unless the tendering holder designates the broker for this purpose in the Amended Letter of Transmittal or the Letter to Clients; or
•
with respect to the Common Shares that for any reason are not accepted for payment and purchased pursuant to the Offer.
Soliciting brokers should take care to ensure that proper records are kept to document their eligibility to receive any Soliciting Dealer Fee. The Purchasers, the Depositary and the Information Agent reserve the right to require additional information at their discretion, as deemed warranted.
