This amendment No. 6 (the Amendment No. 6) to Schedule 13D relates to the Schedule 13D filed on December 4, 2019 (the Original Schedule 13D, as amended and supplemented through the date of this Amendment No. 6, the Schedule 13D) by (i) Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (Pershing Square), (ii) PS Management GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (PS Management) and (iii) William A. Ackman, a citizen of the United States (together with Pershing Square and PS Management, the Reporting Persons) relating to the Common Stock of The Howard Hughes Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Issuer).
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 6 shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.
Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 6, the Schedule 13D is unchanged.
Note: This Amendment No. 6 is being filed solely because a reduction in shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in the Issuers Form 10-Q filed on August 3, 2022 caused the percentage of shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons to increase by more than 1% of the outstanding shares.
Item 1. | Security and Issuer |
Item 1 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by replacing the second and third paragraphs therein with the following information:
The Reporting Persons beneficially own 13,620,164 shares of Common Stock (the Subject Shares).
The Subject Shares represent approximately 27.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, based on 49,913,062 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 28, 2022 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 as reported in the Issuers Form 10-Q filed on August 3, 2022.
