The principal occupation of William A. Ackman is serving as the Chief Executive Officer of Pershing
Square and the managing member of each of PS Management and Pershing Square GP.
(d), (e)
During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons (i) has been convicted in a criminal

Islands exempted company (Pershing Square International), Pershing Square Holdco VI, LLC,

(Page 6 of 10 Pages)
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
The Reporting Persons believe that the Common Shares are undervalued and are an attractive
investment.
The Reporting Persons expect to engage in discussions with management, the board, other
stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties concerning the business, management,
operations, assets, capitalization, financial condition, governance, strategy and future plans of
the Issuer, which discussions may include proposing or considering one or more of the actions
described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
The Reporting Persons intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis.
Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuers financial position and
strategic direction, actions taken by the board, price levels of the Common Shares, other
investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, concentration of positions in the
portfolios managed by the Reporting Persons, market conditions and general economic and industry
conditions, the Reporting Persons may take such actions with respect to their investments in the
Issuer as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing additional Common Shares
or other financial instruments related to the Issuer or selling some or all of their beneficial or
economic holdings, engaging in hedging or similar transactions with respect to the securities
relating to the Issuer and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all
matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a), (b)
Based upon the Report of Foreign Issuer on Form 6-K, filed by the Issuer on October 25, 2011, there
were 169,667,924 Common Shares outstanding as of October 21, 2011.
Based on
the foregoing, the 20,659,504 Common Shares (which includes 2,650,000 Common Shares underlying
an over-the-counter American-style call option referenced in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D) (the
Subject Shares) beneficially owned by the
Reporting Persons represent approximately 12.2% of the Common Shares outstanding.
Pershing Square, as the investment adviser to the Pershing Square Funds, may be deemed to have the
shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the
disposition of) the Subject Shares. As the general partner of Pershing Square, PS Management may be
deemed to have the shared power to vote or to direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose
or direct the disposition of) the Subject Shares. As the general partner of PS and PS II, Pershing
Square GP may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or to direct the vote of (and the shared
power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the 1,003,306 Common Shares held for the account of
PS and the 19,598 Common Shares held for the account of PS II. By virtue of William A. Ackmans
position as the Chief Executive Officer of Pershing Square and managing member of each of PS
Management and Pershing Square GP, William A. Ackman may be deemed to have the shared power to vote
or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Subject
Shares and, therefore, William A. Ackman may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Subject
Shares.
As of the date hereof, none of the Reporting Persons own any Common Shares other than the Subject
Shares covered in this Statement.
(c)
Exhibit 99.2, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 5(c) as if restated in full,
describes all of the transactions in Common Shares and options or other derivatives relating to
Common Shares that were effected in the past sixty days by the Reporting Persons for the benefit of
the Pershing Square Funds. Except as set forth in Exhibit 99.2 attached hereto, within the last 60
days, no reportable transactions were effected by any Reporting Person.
(d)
No other person is known to the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the power to
direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Subject Shares, except
that dividends from, and proceeds from the sale of, the Common Shares held for the accounts managed
by Pershing Square may be delivered to such accounts.
(Page 7 of 10 Pages)
(e)
Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Pershing Square International also holds an over-the-counter American-style call option to purchase
an aggregate of 2,650,000 Common Shares with a strike price of $30.55 and exercisable through
April 27, 2012. This option does not give any Reporting Person direct or indirect voting, investment or
dispositive control over any securities of the Issuer or require the counterparties thereto to
acquire, hold, vote or dispose of any securities of the Issuer. Please refer to Exhibit 99.2 hereto
for additional information. The counterparties for the call option include entities related to
Société Génerale.
The Pershing Square Funds may, from time to time, enter into and dispose of cash-settled equity
swaps, options or other derivative transactions with one or more counterparties that are based upon
the value of Common Shares, which transactions may be significant in amount. The profit, loss
and/or return on such contracts may be wholly or partially dependent on the market value of the
Common Shares.
Except for the matters described herein, the Reporting Persons have no contract, arrangement,
understanding or relationship (legal or otherwise) among the Reporting Persons or between the
Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to securities of the Issuer.
