Commencing on April 16, 2009, GGP, Inc. (f/k/a General Growth Properties, Inc.) (“Old GGP”) and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (“Chapter 11”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). As of October 21, 2010, 126 Debtors, including Old GGP, remained subject to Chapter 11 proceedings (the “TopCo Debtors”).
On October 21, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the TopCo Debtors’ third amended joint plan of reorganization under Chapter 11, as modified and supplemented (the “Plan”).
On November 9, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan became effective and the TopCo Debtors consummated their reorganization under Chapter 11 (the “Reorganization”) through a series of transactions contemplated by the Plan and emerged from Chapter 11.
Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, Old GGP transferred certain assets and liabilities of Old GGP to The Howard Hughes Corporation (“THHC”) and distributed shares of common stock of THHC to holders of shares of common stock of Old GGP and common and preferred units of GGP Limited Partnership (the “Separation”).
Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, Old GGP also changed its corporate name to “GGP, Inc.” and, as further described below, merged (the “Merger”) with and into GGP Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a new company with the corporate name “General Growth Properties, Inc.” (f/k/a New GGP, Inc.) (“New GGP”), with Old GGP surviving the Merger as an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of New GGP. In connection with the Merger, existing shares of common stock of Old GGP were exchanged for shares of common stock of New GGP (“New GGP Common Stock”).
On the Effective Date, Old GGP, New GGP, Merger Sub, and GGP Real Estate Holding I, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of New GGP and the parent of Merger Sub, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). A related Certificate of Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) was subsequently filed with the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware and, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the Plan, Old GGP merged with and into Merger Sub, with Old GGP continuing as the surviving corporation and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of New GGP. In connection with the Merger, all shares of common stock of Old GGP issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were cancelled and converted into the right to receive shares of New GGP Common Stock as provided in the Plan.
As a result of the Merger, New GGP became the successor to Old GGP. Accordingly, all offerings of Old GGP’s securities pursuant to the Plans and its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statements, have been terminated. In accordance with an undertaking made by Old GGP in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, Old GGP hereby removes from registration all securities registered under the Registration Statements that remain unsold as of the date of these Post-Effective Amendments and terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statements. New GGP has filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the General Growth Properties, Inc. 1993 Incentive Stock Plan, the General Growth Properties, Inc. 1998 Incentive Stock Plan, and General Growth Properties, Inc. 2003 Incentive Stock Plan.
