Explanatory Note: This Amendment No. 5 (this “Amendment”) to the Schedule 13D of Chaim Katzman, Gazit-Globe Ltd. (“Gazit”), M G N (USA) INC. (“MGN”), GAZIT (1995), INC. (“1995”) Gazit Canada Inc. (“Canada”) and Hollywood Properties Ltd. (“Hollywood”) (collectively, the “Gazit Group, we,” us” or the “Reporting Persons”) filed on October 25, 2006 (the “Initial 13D”) relates to the Common Stock, par value $.01 each (“Shares”) of The Mills Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer or Mills”). The Initial 13D, together with Amendment Nos. 1 through 4 to the Initial 13D and this Amendment, shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Schedule 13D.”

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

The last three paragraphs of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D are replaced in their entirety with the following:

On January 17, 2007, in an email to Mark Ordan, Chief Executive Officer and President of Mills, prior to the announcement that Mills had entered into a definitive agreement to be purchased by Brookfield Asset Management Inc., we sent a letter to Mills further amending the Revised Recapitalization Proposal to increase the average price per share to $22.00 and to address potential short-term liquidity issues Mills faces in the near term by offering to provide a $150 million liquidity facility on market terms that would be repaid from the proceeds of the $600 million rights offering outlined in the Revised Recapitalization Proposal. The letter further stated that the Revised Recapitalization Proposal, as amended, will automatically expire at 5:00 PM (Eastern Standard time) on January 19, 2007 if the parties have not agreed to recapitalize the Company on the terms contained Revised Recapitalization Proposal, as amended, by such date.

 

As disclosed in Amendment No. 4 to our Schedule 13D, we had previously revised the governance aspects of the Revised Recapitalization Proposal as set forth in Exhibit 22 to the Schedule 13D.

 

Until the expiration of the standstill provision of the Confidentiality Agreement, we are not permitted to purchase any securities of Mills. After the termination of the standstill provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, depending upon various factors, including overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to us, the availability of Shares and shares of Mills’ cumulative redeemable preferred stock (“Preferred Shares”) at prices that would make the purchase of additional Shares or Preferred Shares desirable, we may or may not endeavor to increase our positions in Shares and/or Preferred Shares through, among other things, the purchase of Shares and/or Preferred Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as we may deem advisable. We may from time to time decide to sell some or all of our Shares and/or Preferred Shares. In addition, we may from time to time engage in transactions for the purpose of hedging some or all of our positions in Shares and/or Preferred Shares, subject, if applicable, to the standstill provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement.

 

Depending upon the factors mentioned above and other factors we may deem relevant, we may in the future take such other actions with respect to our investment in Mills as we deem appropriate including, without limitation, engaging in further discussions with management and/or the Mills Board concerning the business, operations, strategic direction and control of

Mills, communicating with other stockholders of Mills, or changing our intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4.

 

Except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed above, no Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Re: Revised Recapitalization Proposal

Gentlemen:

Reference is made to our letter dated January 12, 2007 (the “Bid Letter”) in which we submitted our revised recapitalization proposal to The Mills Corporation (“Mills” or the “Company”) in connection with your request for bids as part of Mills’ strategic alternatives process.

Gazit-Globe Ltd. (GLOB:TASE) (“Gazit”), directly or through subsidiaries, pursuant to my conversations with Mark Ordan, is pleased to present our modified Recapitalization proposal to address additional concerns raised by Mills. In particular, our revised proposal seeks to alleviate the potential short-term liquidity issues Mills faces in the near term.

Our revised proposal contains the following improved terms:

 

Price – We are raising our average price per share to $22.00 per share. The initial $250 million will continue to be priced at $23.50 per share. The balance of $250 million will be increased to $20.50 per share.

 

CK

 

 

 


 

 

Liquidity Facility – We will provide a $150 million liquidity facility on market terms that will be repaid from the originally proposed Rights Offering.

 

We are committed to proceeding with all due speed and urgency and look forward to your response.

This revised proposal will automatically expire at 5:00 PM (Eastern Standard time) on January 19, 2007 if the parties have not agreed to recapitalize the Company on the terms contained in our revised Recapitalization proposal by such date.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Chaim Katzman

 

Chaim Katzman

 

Chairman of the Board
