determined in the Offer, its Common Shares will be deemed to be tendered at the minimum price of $52.25 per Common Share. This election may have the effect of lowering the Purchase Price and could result in the tendering stockholder receiving the minimum price of $52.25 per Common Share.
The Purchase Price will be the lowest single purchase price not greater than $60.00 nor less than $52.25 per Common Share that will allow the Purchasers to purchase 6,340,000 Common Shares (or, if fewer than 6,340,000 Common Shares are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Common Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn). If the Purchasers accept any Common Shares for purchase in the Offer, they will accept only Common Shares properly tendered at prices at or below the Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn, and the Purchasers will pay the Purchase Price for all Common Shares they purchase in the Offer (including those tendered at prices below the Purchase Price).
If more than 6,340,000 Common Shares are properly tendered at or below the Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn, the Purchasers will, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, purchase those Common Shares on a pro rata basis as described in the Offer to Purchase. Any Common Shares not purchased in the Offer will be returned to the tendering stockholders at the Purchasers’ expense promptly after the Expiration Date. The Purchasers reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to change the purchase price range per Common Share and to increase or decrease the number of Common Shares sought in the Offer, subject to applicable law.
Assuming the maximum number of 6,340,000 Common Shares are purchased in the Offer at the maximum purchase price of $60.00 per Common Share, the aggregate purchase price would be approximately $380.4 million.
The Common Shares are listed and traded on the NYSE under the symbol “HHC.” Stockholders are urged to obtain current market quotations for the Common Shares before deciding whether and at what purchase price or purchase prices to tender their Common Shares.
The Purchasers expressly reserve the right, in their sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, to extend the period of time during which the Offer is open and thereby delay acceptance for payment of, and payment for, any Common Shares by giving oral or written notice of such extension to Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the Offer (the “Depositary”), and making a public announcement of such extension not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first business day after the previously scheduled Expiration Date.
The Offer will expire at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, at the end of November 10, 2022, unless the Purchasers exercise the right, in their sole discretion, to extend the period of time during which the Offer will remain open. Beneficial owners should be aware that their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee may establish its own earlier deadlines for participation in the Offer. Accordingly, beneficial owners wishing to participate in the Offer should contact their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee as soon as possible in order to determine the times by which such owner must take action in order to participate in the Offer.
The Purchasers do not currently anticipate that there will be a subsequent offering period.
Stockholders wishing to tender Common Shares must follow the procedures set forth in the Offer to Purchase and in the related Letter of Transmittal.
For purposes of the Offer, the Purchasers will be deemed to have accepted for payment (and therefore purchased), subject to the proration provisions of the Offer, Common Shares that are properly tendered at or below the Purchase Price and not properly withdrawn only if and when the Purchasers give oral or written notice to the Depositary of the Purchasers’ acceptance of the Common Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the Purchasers will accept for payment and pay the Purchase Price for all of the Common Shares accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer promptly after the Expiration Date. In all cases, payment for Common Shares tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer will be made promptly, subject to possible delay in the event of proration, but only after timely receipt by the Depositary of: (i) certificates for Common Shares or a timely book-entry confirmation
