Rouse Properties, Inc. Stockholders Approve Merger

Rouse Properties, Inc. (NYSE: RSE) (“Rouse” or the “Company”) today announced that, at a special meeting of stockholders held today, the Company stockholders approved the previously announced merger agreement with BSREP II Retail Pooling LLC (“Parent”), an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management, Inc. (“Brookfield”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the merger agreement, Parent will acquire the Company through a merger of the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, with the Company surviving the merger. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, at closing, the Company stockholders, excluding the affiliates of Brookfield that collectively hold approximately 33.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company, will receive $18.25 per share in cash. Although the merger agreement contemplates that a portion of the merger consideration may be paid in the form of a closing dividend, Parent has notified the Company that no such dividend payments will be made and accordingly, the entire $18.25 will be paid as merger consideration.

Votes “FOR” the merger totaled approximately 51,127,690 million shares, or approximately 88.32% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. In addition, approximately 31,740,065 million shares, or approximately 82.44% of the shares held by the Company’s stockholders other than Brookfield and its affiliates, voted “FOR” the merger.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, the merger is expected to close on or about July 6, 2016.
