 |
| 2010/9/8 |
General Growth Properties, Inc. (NYSE: GGP) today announced Chief Executive Officer Adam Metz and President and Chief Operating Officer Thomas Nolan have agreed to remain in their roles at GGP for up to one year following completion of the company’s restructuring, expected in October 2010. During that period, Messrs. Metz and Nolan will continue to manage the final phases of the company’s restructuring – including the planned equity raise – and will continue to lead GGP’s financial and operational strategy. GGP’s new Board of Directors, to assume its role following emergence from bankruptcy, is expected to select a long-term management team during the transition period.
“Tom and I have worked closely with the rest of the senior management team to position GGP for future success, with a clear vision and strategy, a solid financial structure, an enhanced operational organization and a world-class portfolio of assets. We have never been more confident in GGP’s future,” said Adam Metz, chief executive officer of GGP. “We are pleased to help position the company for the next chapter in its growth story and ensure a smooth transition for employees, shareholders and tenants while the Board of Directors selects a permanent management team. In the meantime, it will be business as usual at GGP as we continue to build value for all our stakeholders.”
“The Board of Directors would like to thank Adam and Tom for their deep commitment and significant contributions to GGP during the restructuring and anticipated transition period,” said Sheli Rosenberg, lead director of GGP. “The two of them have led one of the most successful restructurings in corporate history, and the Board and the new equity investors fully support the strategic business plan Adam and Tom have developed. We are grateful to them for agreeing to stay during the search for a new management team.”
