EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D is being filed to reflect the entry by Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (BAM) into a put/call agreement with Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), dated December 4, 2014 (the Put/Call Agreement), and a refinancing agreement with Brookfield Property L.P. (the Property Partnership) and Brookfield Property Partners L.P. (BPY), dated December 4, 2014 (the Refinancing Agreement), each in connection with the issuance by Brookfield Property L.P. of $1.8 billion of preferred limited partnership units (Preferred Units) to QIA. The Property Partnership is a subsidiary of BPY, and BPY is the general partner of the Property Partnership. Information reported in the original Schedule 13D remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended or superseded by information contained in this Amendment No. 2.
4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:
The Preferred Units to be issued by the Property Partnership are exchangeable at any time, at the option of the holder, for BPY Units at an exchange price of $25.70 per Preferred Unit, subject to adjustment from time to time.
Pursuant to the Put/Call Agreement, on the applicable maturity date of the Preferred Units, or upon a change of control of the general partner of BPY (as defined in the Put/Call Agreement), the holder of Preferred Units will have the right to require BAM to purchase any or all of such holders Preferred Units for cash consideration of $25.00 per Preferred Unit plus all accrued and unpaid cash distributions on each such Preferred Unit (the Put/Call Consideration). In addition, on the applicable maturity date of the Preferred Units, BAM will have the right to acquire for cash any or all of such maturing Preferred Units for the Put/Call Consideration.
Pursuant to the Refinancing Agreement, BAM has agreed with BPY and the Property Partnership that if, upon the maturity of the Preferred Units maturing in 2021 and 2024, the then-current market price of BPY Units is less than 80% of the then-applicable exchange price, then BAM will (a) exercise its call right under the Put/Call Agreement and (b) exchange such maturing Preferred Units for a new series of exchangeable Preferred Units which will mature in 2026, and have a 6.75% dividend rate per annum and other terms substantially similar to the third tranche of the original Preferred Units.
The foregoing description of the Put/Call Agreement and the Refinancing Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Put/Call Agreement and the Refinancing Agreement, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 99.5 and 99.6 and incorporated herein by reference.
6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Item 4 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.
7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
Item 7 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following exhibits:
Exhibit 99.5 |
|
Put/Call Agreement, dated December 4, 2014, between Brookfield Asset Management Inc. and Qatar Investment Authority. |
|
