PSLP is selling shares in HHC for portfolio management purposes only. These sales do not represent a change in Pershing Square’s view that HHC remains an attractive long-term investment. Pershing Square continues to believe that HHC is substantially undervalued at its current share price.
The 10b5-1 program provides that PSLP will sell up to 875,000 shares at prices at or above $125 per share, and will be limited to a maximum of 9.8% of each trading day’s volume.
Assuming the 10b5-1 program is completed on or before its end date of November 30, 2018, it is expected that in total, the Pershing Square funds will beneficially own 3.1% of HHC. In addition, Pershing Square Holdings, Ltd., Pershing Square International, Ltd. and Pershing Square II L.P. will continue to own total return swaps on 4,229,933 million shares, or 9.8% of HHC. Assuming the 10b5-1 program is completed, the Pershing Square funds will then have total economic exposure, including common stock and total return swaps, of 12.9% of HHC.
In accordance with Section 16 of the 1934 Act, within two days of each day’s execution under the 10b5-1 program, Pershing Square will disclose that day’s trading in a Form 4 filing with the SEC. The initial Form 4 filing, in addition to potential sales under this program, will disclose the sale of a portion of a total return swap held by Pershing Square International Ltd., which was not part of the 10b5-1 program.
