Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 promulgated under the Act, this Schedule 13D/A (this “Amendment No. 8”) amends the Schedule13D filed on November 19, 2010 (“Original Schedule 13D”) and amended on February 3, 2012 (“Amendment No. 1”), on June 14, 2012 (“Amendment No. 2”), on November 14, 2012 (“Amendment No. 3”), on December 21, 2012 (“Amendment No. 4”), on January 23, 2013 (“Amendment No. 5”), on February 13, 2013 (“Amendment No. 6”) and on February 27, 2013 (“Amendment No. 7” and, together with the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No.1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, Amendment No. 6 and this Amendment No. 8, the “Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 8 relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of The Howard Hughes Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Items 5(a) - (c) and (e) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended in their entirety as follows:
(a)-(b) As of the close of business on March 1, 2013, the Investment Vehicles directly held and beneficially owned the shares of Common Stock 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 39,498,912 shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding as of February 24, 2013 by the Company in its Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2013.
Investment Vehicle | Common Stock | Beneficial Ownership |
BRH HHC | 606,407 | 1.54% |
BRH II | 416,131 | 1.05% |
BRH III | 477,323 | 1.21% |
BRH IV-A | 55,191 | 0.14% |
BRH IV-B (1) | 110,154 | 0.28% |
BRH IV-C (1) | 36,907 | 0.09% |
BRH IV-D | 36,907 | 0.09% |
BRH V | 124,194 | 0.31% |
Total: | 1,863,214 | 4.72% |
(1) The shares of Common Stock are held directly by Brookfield US Retail Holdings LLC. Pursuant to the BRH IV-B Agreement and BRH IV-C Agreement, as applicable, the applicable Investment Vehicle shares investment and voting power (but not with Brookfield US Retail Holdings LLC) over the shares of Common Stock held directly by Brookfield US Retail Holdings LLC.
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 owned by each of the Investment Vehicles, consisting of 1,863,214 shares of Common Stock representing 4.72% of the Common Stock. As direct and indirect controlling persons of BAM Canada, each of Brookfield Holdings, Partners, BHC and Brookfield may be deemed to share with BAM Canada beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock.
US Corp. is the non-managing member of BRH HHC. By virtue of (i) its ability under the Operating Agreement of BRH HHC to appoint and remove the board of directors of BRH HHC and (ii) the ability of the board of directors of BRH HHC to direct BAM Canada on behalf of BRH HHC 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), US Corp. may be deemed to share voting and investment power with respect to the 1,863,214 shares of Common Stock owned by the Investment Vehicles, representing approximately 4.72% of the shares of the Common Stock. As direct and indirect controlling persons of US Corp, US Holdings, BHC, Partners and Brookfield may be deemed to share with US Corp. beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock.
None of the Reporting Persons has sole voting or investment power with respect to any shares of Common Stock.

Each of the Investment Vehicles expressly disclaims, to the extent permitted by applicable law, beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock held by each of the other 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 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, but expressly disclaim, to the extent permitted by applicable law, beneficial ownership thereof.
