GGP Ggp Inc. (delisted)

Deadline for GGP common stockholders to make their elections is 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on August 21, 2018

As previously announced, on March 26, 2018, Brookfield Property Partners L.P. (“BPY”) (NASDAQ: BPY; TSX: BPY.UN) and GGP Inc. (“GGP”) (NYSE: GGP) entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which BPY has agreed to acquire all of the shares of GGP common stock not already owned by BPY and its affiliates through a series of transactions (collectively, the “Transactions”), including, among other things, the payment of a special dividend (the “Pre-Closing Dividend”).  Following the previously announced receipt yesterday of the requisite stockholder approval of the Transactions and the exchange earlier today of all shares of GGP common stock owned by certain affiliates of BPY for series B preferred stock of GGP, GGP today announced that it has declared the Pre-Closing Dividend to the holders of record of GGP common stock (not including restricted GGP common stock and not including any such shares of GGP common stock exchanged by affiliates of BPY for series B preferred stock of GGP) as of the end of trading today on the NYSE.

Election Details

GGP common stockholders entitled to make an election, and who do not wish to be deemed to have made a cash election and an election to receive BPY limited partnership units (“BPY units”) to the extent such holder is entitled to receive any equity due to proration, will need to make two elections for their shares of GGP common stock, subject to proration: (1) an election to receive cash and/or equity and (2) a further election to receive any equity they are entitled to receive either in the form of class A stock of Brookfield Property REIT Inc. (“BPR”) (the surviving corporation following the consummation of the Transactions) or BPY units.  GGP will mail an election form to GGP common stockholders who are entitled to receive the Pre-Closing Dividend for purposes of making their elections.  GGP common stockholders must return properly completed election forms by no later than 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on August 21, 2018 for their elections to be valid.

Any holder of shares of GGP common stock who is entitled to make an election for which an effective, properly completed election form has not been received by such deadline will be deemed to have made a cash election and will be deemed to have made an election to receive BPY units to the extent such holder is entitled to receive any equity due to proration.  Thus, any holder of shares of GGP common stock who wishes to receive a portion of such holder’s Pre-Closing Dividend in class A stock of BPR must make both elections described above and submit a properly completed election form prior to the deadline.

GGP common stock is currently trading, and will continue to trade, on the NYSE with “due bills” attached, through (and including) the payment date for the Pre-Closing Dividend.  Holders of GGP common stock as of the record date for the Pre-Closing Dividend who transfer shares of GGP common stock (including the due bill) on the NYSE during this period will still receive the Pre-Closing Dividend in accordance with their elections.  However, the transferor of such shares will be obligated to deliver to the transferee, and the transferee will be entitled to receive from the transferor, the default cash election in the Pre-Closing Dividend and BPY units (as opposed to the BPR class A stock) to the extent any equity is entitled to be received due to proration (regardless of any elections that are made by such transferor).  The NYSE has confirmed that it will not issue an ex-dividend date with respect to the Pre-Closing Dividend.

BPY and GGP have filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a post-effective amendment to their previously filed registration statements on Form F-4 and Form S-4 to include the election form as an exhibit.  GGP stockholders may obtain free copies of the election form by contacting D.F. King & Co., Inc., BPY’s information agent, toll free via telephone at (800) 290-6424 or by email at GGP@dfking.com or BPY Investor Relations at bpy.enquiries@brookfield.com or +1 (855) 212-8243 or GGP Investor Relations at (312) 960-5000.  For more detailed and complete information on the election, please refer to the election form.

Transaction Timing

The closing of the Transactions remains subject to, among other things, the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and is expected to occur by the end of August of this year.
