Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 promulgated under the Act, this Schedule 13D/A (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends the Schedule 13D filed on November 19, 2010 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) and amended on November 24, 2010 (“Amendment No. 1”) (the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 are collectively referred to herein as the “Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 2 relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of General Growth Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include:
On January 17, 2011, Brookfield (US) Investments Ltd., a Bermuda limited company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield (“BUSI”), and US Corp. entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with The Fairholme Fund, a series of Fairholme Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Fairholme Fund”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, in exchange for $804,079,985.60 in cash and the issuance to Fairholme Fund of an aggregate of 27,500,000.00 Class A Limited Voting Shares of Brookfield, (i) BUSI agreed to acquire and purchase from Fairholme Fund, and Fairholme Fund agreed to sell to BUSI, 39,403,972 shares of Common Stock and (ii) US Corp. agreed to acquire and purchase from Fairholme Fund, and Fairholme Fund agreed to sell to US Corp, 73,927,484 shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, among other things, Fairholme Fund agreed to grant BUSI and US Corp. a right of first offer to acquire any Warrants or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by Fairholme Fund which Fairholme Fund desires to sell or otherwise transfer for the two years following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement.
On January 17, 2011, Brookfield entered into a performance guarantee (the “Guarantee”) with Fairholme Fund pursuant to which Brookfield agreed to unconditionally guarantee to Fairholme Fund the fulfillment and performance of certain obligations of BUSI and US Corp. to Fairholme Fund under the Share Purchase Agreement.
The summary contained herein of each of the Share Purchase Agreement and Guarantee is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 14 and 15 hereto, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5(a)-(b) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
(a)-(b) As of the close of business on January 18, 2011, the Investment Vehicles directly held and beneficially owned the shares of Common Stock and Warrants 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 the 937,011,053 shares of Common Stock reported by the Company as expected to be outstanding following the consummation of the offering described in its prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 17, 2010 plus 19,886,000 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase Common Stock, plus, where such beneficial ownership includes Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants included in any such beneficial ownership calculation. The shares of Common Stock and Warrants reported as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons in this Item 5 and elsewhere in this Schedule 13D do not reflect any of the shares of Common Stock which BUSI and US Corp. have agreed to acquire pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Share Purchase Agreement.

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 and Warrants owned by each of the Investment Vehicles, consisting of 230,916,030 shares of Common Stock and Warrants exercisable to purchase 57,500,000 shares of Common Stock, collectively representing 28.4% of the Common Stock. As direct and indirect controlling persons of BAM Canada, each of Brookfield Holdings, Trilon Bancorp and Brookfield may be deemed to share with BAM Canada beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock and Warrants.
Split LP is the non-managing member of BRH. By virtue of (i) its ability under the Operating Agreement of BRH to appoint and remove the board of directors of BRH and (ii) the ability of the board of directors of BRH to direct BAM Canada on behalf of BRH 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), Split LP may be deemed to share voting and investment power with respect to the 288,416,030 shares of Common Stock owned by the Investment Vehicles, representing approximately 28.4% of the shares of the Common Stock. As direct and indirect controlling persons of Split LP, BRGP, US Holdings, US Corp and Brookfield may be deemed to share with Split LP beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock and Warrants.
None of the Reporting Persons has sole voting or investment power with respect to any shares of Common Stock or Warrants.
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 and Warrants held by all members of the “group.” Accordingly, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 288,416,030 shares of Common Stock (which includes the 57,500,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by all Reporting Persons), constituting beneficial ownership of 28.4% 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 and Warrants 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 and Warrants 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 and Warrants 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 or Warrants 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 or Warrants, but expressly disclaim, to the extent permitted by applicable law, beneficial ownership thereof.
