THE HOWARD HUGHES CORPORATION® ANNOUNCES CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER TO LEAVE THE COMPANY LATER IN THE YEAR

Richardson to Maintain Significant Ongoing Personal Investment in HHC

Dallas (April 8, 2016) -  The Howard Hughes Corporation® (NYSE: HHC) announced today that Andrew C. Richardson, Chief Financial Officer, will be leaving the company later this year. Mr. Richardson, after more than five years of service to the company, has decided to pursue other opportunities and personal interests. A search will commence immediately with Mr. Richardson assisting the company in finding a successor to ensure a smooth transition.

“I will miss having Andy at the company as he has been a great partner over the last five years,” said David R. Weinreb, Chief Executive Officer of the Howard Hughes Corporation. “In his time here, Andy has built an extremely strong finance team that is positioned for long-term success. He will remain a close friend of the HHC family and we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.”

“Working at HHC has been an incredible opportunity, and I have very much enjoyed my time alongside senior leadership. We have substantially grown the value of the company since going public over five years ago. I am proud to leave the company stronger than ever. With David and Grant leading HHC and its deep roster of talented professionals, I am confident in its long-term growth prospects and will continue  to  maintain  a  significant  ongoing  personal  investment  in  the  company,”  said  Andrew Richardson, “Throughout my career I have dedicated my time to professional corporate commitments, and I believe that now is the right time to pursue other interests.”
