General Growth Properties Files Amended Registration Statement on Form S-11

General Growth Properties, Inc. (NYSE: GGP) today announced its subsidiary, New GGP, Inc.

“With this amended S-11 filing, we draw even closer to the completion of the successful restructuring of General Growth Properties,” said Adam Metz, chief executive officer of GGP. “We are extremely pleased with our progress to date and see a clear path to confirmation at our court hearing on October 21. In addition, we have enhanced our corporate governance policies by eliminating the staggered board structure at GGP and moving to annual elections of all directors. We look forward to completing these transactions and moving forward as a financially strong, focused company.”
