AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO SCHEDULE TO

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Pershing Square, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“PS”), Pershing Square International, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PS International”), Pershing Square Holdings, Ltd., a limited liability company incorporated in Guernsey (“PSH” and together with PS and PS International, the “Purchasers”), Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“PSCM”), PS Management GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and William A. Ackman, a citizen of the United States, on October 14, 2022, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1, filed on November 14, 2022 (as so amended and supplemented, the “Schedule TO”), relating to the offer by the Purchasers to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,340,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (each, a “Common Share”), of The Howard Hughes Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at a price not greater than $70.00 nor less than $61.00 per Common Share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest.

Only those items amended or supplemented are reported in this Amendment No. 2. Except as specifically provided herein, the information contained in the Schedule TO remains unchanged and this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule TO. You should read this Amendment No. 2 together with the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase, dated October 14, 2022 (as amended and supplemented by the Amendment and Supplement to the Offer to Purchase, dated November 11, 2022), and the related Amended Letter of Transmittal, dated November 11, 2022.

ITEM 11.   ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Item 11 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text:

On November 29, 2022, PSCM issued a press release announcing the preliminary results of the tender offer, which expired at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, at the end of November 28, 2022. A copy of such press release is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(iii) to this Amendment No. 2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On November 15, 2022, the Company announced that in case for any reason the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the time at which the Purchasers accept the tendered Common Shares for payment has declined by an amount sufficient so that PSCM and its affiliates (after purchasing Common Shares in the Offer) would be over the 40% threshold for which they have a waiver under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Board of Directors of the Company has granted PSCM and its affiliates a waiver that covers any Common Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer provided that the Purchasers do not amend the offer to increase the number of shares sought in such Offer.
