Items 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

 

(a)-(b) As of the close of business on November 9, 2012, the Investment Vehicles directly held and beneficially owned the shares of Common Stock indicated on the following table. Each of the Investment Vehicles shares voting and investment power as indicated in the paragraphs below the table. All calculations of percentages of beneficial ownership in this Item 5 and elsewhere in this Schedule 13D are based on 39,498,912 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which includes the 37,973,640 shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding as of August 5, 2012 by the Company in its Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2012 plus the 1,525,272 shares of Common Stock issued to the Investment Vehicles pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Purchase Agreement.

 

Investment Vehicle Common Stock Beneficial Ownership
BRH HHC 1,285,579 3.25%
BRH II 882,166 2.23%
BRH III 1,011,896 2.56%
BRH IV-A 116,994 0.30%
BRH IV-B (1) 233,515 0.59%
BRH IV-C (1) 78,233 0.20%
BRH IV-D 78,233 0.20%
BRH V 263,274 0.67%
Total: 3,949,890 9.999%

 

(1) The shares of Common Stock are held directly by Brookfield US Retail Holdings LLC. Pursuant to the BRH IV-B Agreement and BRH IV-C Agreement, as applicable, the applicable Investment Vehicle shares investment and voting power (but not with Brookfield US Retail Holdings LLC) over the shares of Common Stock held directly by Brookfield US Retail Holdings LLC.

 

As managing member or general partner, as applicable, of each of the Investment Vehicles, BAM Canada may be deemed, subject to restrictions on its authority imposed by the Voting Agreement, to beneficially own all shares of Common Stock owned by each of the Investment Vehicles, consisting of 3,949,890 shares of Common Stock representing 9.999% of the Common Stock. As direct and indirect controlling persons of BAM Canada, each of Brookfield Holdings, Partners, BHC and Brookfield may be deemed to share with BAM Canada beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock.

 

US Corp. is the non-managing member of BRH HHC. By virtue of (i) its ability under the Operating Agreement of BRH HHC to appoint and remove the board of directors of BRH HHC and (ii) the ability of the board of directors of BRH HHC to direct BAM Canada on behalf of BRH HHC to veto any action requiring a hyper-majority vote under the Voting Agreement (including voting decisions with respect to, and material dispositions of, Common Stock by the Investment Vehicles), US Corp. may be deemed to share voting and investment power with respect to the 3,949,890 shares of Common Stock owned by the Investment Vehicles, representing approximately 9.999% of the shares of the Common Stock. As direct and indirect controlling persons of US Corp, US Holdings, BHC, Partners and Brookfield may be deemed to share with US Corp. beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock.

 

None of the Reporting Persons has sole voting or investment power with respect to any shares of Common Stock.

 

By virtue of the various agreements and arrangements among the Reporting Persons described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) under the Act and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) thereunder and each member of the “group” may be deemed to beneficially own all shares of Common Stock held by all members of the “group.” Accordingly, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 3,949,890 shares of Common Stock, constituting beneficial ownership of 9.999% of the shares of the Common Stock. Each of the Investment Vehicles expressly disclaims, to the extent permitted by applicable law, beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock held by each of the other Investment Vehicles.

By virtue of (i) the ability of the Northern Trust Company, acting in its capacity as custodian for the Future Fund Board of Guardians (“Future Fund”) under the Operating Agreement of BRH II to appoint and remove the members of the board of directors of BRH II and (ii) the ability of the board of directors of BRH II to direct BAM Canada on behalf of BRH II to veto any action requiring a hyper-majority vote under the Voting Agreement (including voting decisions and material dispositions of Common Stock by the Investment Vehicles), Future Fund may be deemed to share voting and investment power over the Common Stock held by each of the Investment Vehicles. By virtue of (i) the ability of Stable Investment Corporation (“Stable”) and Best Investment Corporation (“Best” and, together with Stable, “SB”) (both subsidiaries of China Investment Corporation) under the Operating Agreement of BRH III to appoint and remove the members of the board of directors of BRH III and (ii) the ability of the board of directors of BRH III to direct BAM Canada on behalf of BRH III to veto any action requiring a hyper-majority vote under the Voting Agreement (including voting decisions and material dispositions of Common Stock by the Investment Vehicles), SB may be deemed to share voting and investment power over the Common Stock held by each of the Investment Vehicles. Additionally, by virtue of the various agreements and arrangements among the Reporting Persons described in this Schedule 13D, Future Fund and/or SB may be deemed to be members of a “group” with the Reporting Persons. Neither Future Fund nor SB are Reporting Persons on this Schedule 13D, and any obligations either of them may have under Section 13(d) of the Act would have to be satisfied on one or more separate filings. To the extent that either Future Fund or SB beneficially owns shares of Common Stock that are not held by one of the Investment Vehicles, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own any such shares of Common Stock, but expressly disclaim, to the extent permitted by applicable law, beneficial ownership thereof.

 

Items 5(c) of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(c) Other than the transactions described in Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to their knowledge, any of the Scheduled Persons, has effected any transaction in Common Stock during the past sixty (60) days.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the description of the Warrant Purchase Agreement in Item 4 to this Amendment No. 3.
