Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On September 27, 2013, The Howard Hughes Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it priced its previously announced offering of $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) in a private transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. This represents an increase of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount over the amount previously announced. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for development, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. The consummation of the offering of Notes is expected to be completed on October 2, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

The information contained in this report shall not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any Notes in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
