The Reporting Person is party to certain agreements with the Separately Filing Group Members (as defined in the Schedule 13D), which agreements contain, among other things, certain voting agreements and limitations on the sale of their shares of Common Stock. As a result, the Reporting Person may be deemed to be a member of a “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act (as defined in the Schedule 13D), comprised of the Reporting Person and the Separately Filing Group Members. Shares listed as beneficially owned by the Reporting Person exclude shares held by any other Reporting Person or by any of the Separately Filing Group Members, in each case as to which the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership.

All references to the number of shares outstanding are as of October 26, 2012, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2012, as adjusted to account for the aggregate of 3,180,242 shares of Class B Common Stock that were sold by one of the Separately Filing Group Members on December 6, 2012 and December 12, 2012.

With respect to matters upon which the Issuer’s stockholders are entitled to vote, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class, and each holder of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and each holder of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes per share. The shares of Class B Common Stock owned by the Reporting Person represent 5.8% of the total voting power of the Common Stock as of October 26, 2012, as adjusted. The percentage of total voting power of the Common Stock is calculated based on the total voting power of the Common Stock outstanding as of October 26, 2012, as adjusted, which is comprised of 48,568,052 shares of Class A Common Stock and 115,434,342 shares of Class B Common Stock and assumes that no outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented as follows:

(a)-(b) As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons in the aggregate may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of 21,696,202 shares of Class A Common Stock, issuable upon conversion of 21,696,202 shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. Based on the number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding as of October 26, 2012, as adjusted to account for the aggregate of 3,180,242 shares of Class B Common Stock that were sold by one of the Separately Filing Group Members on December 6, 2012 and December 12, 2012, the number of shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons represents 18.8% of the total number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding. Based on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 26, 2012, as adjusted, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons represents 13.2% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and 18.0% of the total voting power of the shares of Common Stock outstanding, voting together as a single class, assuming that no outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock.

Thomas J. Pritzker holds 59,853 stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) that are currently exercisable at an exercise price of $40.96 and 31,852 SARs that are currently exercisable at an exercise price of $41.74. Each SAR gives the holder the right to receive a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the excess of the value of one share of Class A Common Stock at the exercise date, over the exercise price. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock that Mr. Pritzker will receive upon exercise of such SARs is not determinable until the date of exercise and therefore is not included in the information above.

Based solely on the information contained in an amendment to the Schedule 13D filed by a Separately Filing Group Member on December 17, 2012, a Separately Filing Group Member sold an aggregate of 3,180,242 shares of Class B Common Stock in block trades with a broker-dealer on December 6, 2012 and December 12, 2012, at a price of $35.74 per share and $35.81 per share, respectively, for an aggregate price of $113,770,819. In accordance with the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the shares of Class B Common Stock sold pursuant to such sales automatically converted upon such sales into shares of Class A Common Stock.

Schedule A attached to this Amendment No. 8 amends and restates, in its entirety, Schedule A attached to the Schedule 13D. Schedule A attached to this Amendment No. 8 sets forth, as of the date hereof, the number of shares and percentage of the Class A Common Stock outstanding, the number of shares and percentage of the Class B Common Stock outstanding, the percentage of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, and the percentage of the total voting power of the shares of Common Stock outstanding, voting together as a single class, represented by the shares beneficially owned by each Reporting Person. Certain shares beneficially owned by Marshall E. Eisenberg, as Trustee, are held indirectly by FLP11 HHC, L.L.C., a member-managed Delaware limited liability company formed for the purpose of acquiring shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The limited liability company is wholly owned by one of the

trusts listed on Appendix A-1 and has no voting or dispositive power with regard to the shares. Certain shares beneficially owned by John A. Miller, as Trustee, are held indirectly by T11M2 HHC, L.L.C., THHC, L.L.C., T11M2 Investors, L.L.C. and T11M5 Investors, L.L.C., each of which are member-managed Delaware limited liability companies formed for the purpose of acquiring shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The limited liability companies are wholly owned by one or more of the trusts listed on Appendix A-3 and have no voting or dispositive power with regard to the shares.

Based solely on the information contained in the Schedule 13D, as amended, filed by a Separately Filing Group Member, as of the date hereof, the Pritzker Family Group in the aggregate may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of 18,969 shares of currently issued Class A Common Stock and 90,322,256 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 90,322,256 shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Pritzker Family Group. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Pritzker Family Group and currently issued represents less than 0.1% of the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, assuming that no outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock. The number of shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Pritzker Family Group represents 78.2% of the total number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding. The number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Pritzker Family Group represents 55.1% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and 75.1% of the total voting power of the shares of Common Stock outstanding, voting together as a single class, assuming that no outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock.

Schedule B attached to this Amendment No. 8 amends and restates, in its entirety, Schedule B attached to the Schedule 13D. Schedule B attached to this Amendment No. 8 sets forth, as of the date hereof, the number of shares and percentage of the Class A Common Stock outstanding, the number of shares and percentage of the Class B Common Stock outstanding, the percentage of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, and the percentage of the total voting power of the shares of Common Stock outstanding, voting together as a single class, represented by the shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons and each Separately Filing Group Member. All information with regard to the Separately Filing Group Members is based solely on the information contained in the Schedule 13Ds filed by the Separately Filing Group Members.

The acquisition of shares of Class B Common Stock by Marshall E. Eisenberg, as Trustee, from the Trustees of certain of the James N. Pritzker Family Trusts, John A. Pritzker Family Trusts and Linda Pritzker Family Trusts did not impact the number of shares or the percentage of the Common Stock beneficially owned by the Pritzker Family Group.

3. Closing Deliveries of the Purchaser. At the Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver the Purchase Price to the Selling Trusts by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Selling Trusts.

(b) The Selling Trusts shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Purchaser, certificates representing the Subject Shares together with assignments separate from certificate with respect to the Subject Shares sufficient to transfer title to the Subject Shares to the Purchaser on the books of the Company and Certificates of Fiduciary Authority, including, as necessary, Medallion Guarantees.

5. Representations and Warranties of the Selling Trusts. Each Selling Trust, for itself and not for the other Selling Trusts, represents and warrants to the Purchaser that the statements contained in this Section 5 are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date, it being agreed that the Purchaser is relying on each statement.

(a) Power; Legal, Valid and Binding Obligations.

6. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser.

Exhibit B

CERTIFICATE OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS

This certificate is being delivered in connection with that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2012, by and between FLP11 HHC, L.L.C. (“Purchaser”) and Harry B. Rosenberg and Charles E. Dobrusin, solely as co-trustees of the trusts listed on Exhibit A (the “Transferors”).

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”), provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform Purchaser that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by the Transferors, the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of each Transferor:

 

  (a) Each Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate, (as those terms are defined in the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder);

 

  (b) Each Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);

 

  (c) Each Transferor’s employer identification number is set forth on Schedule A next to its name; and

 

  (d) Each Transferor’s office address is set forth on Schedule A next to its employer identification number.

The Transferors understand that this Certificate may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the Purchaser and that any false statement herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both.

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certificate and to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have the authority to sign this certificate on behalf of the Transferors.

Exhibit A

CERTIFICATE OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS

This certificate is being delivered in connection with that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2012, by and between FLP11 HHC, L.L.C. (“Purchaser”) and Lewis M. Linn, solely as trustee of LaSalle G.C. Trust #3 (the “Transferor”).

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”), provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform Purchaser that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by the Transferor, the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of the Transferor:

 

  (a) The Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate, (as those terms are defined in the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder);

 

  (b) The Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);

 

  (c) The Transferor’s employer identification number is set forth on Schedule A next to its name; and

 

  (d) The Transferor’s office address is set forth on Schedule A next to its employer identification number.

The Transferor understands that this Certificate may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the Purchaser and that any false statement herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both.

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certificate and to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have the authority to sign this certificate on behalf of the Transferor.

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

This Purchase and Sale Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of December 11, 2012, by and among Lewis M. Linn and Aaron Stern, not individually, but solely as co-trustees of the trusts listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (each, a “Selling Trust” and collectively, the “Selling Trusts”), and FLP11 HHC, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”). Each of the Selling Trusts and the Purchaser is sometimes referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties” to this Agreement.

Recitals

WHEREAS, the Selling Trusts own 19,154 shares (the “Subject Shares”) of the Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), of Hyatt Hotels Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”);

WHEREAS, the Selling Trusts desire to sell and the Purchaser desires to purchase the Subject Shares, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the number of the Subject Shares to be sold by each of the Selling Trusts is indicated on Exhibit A.

Agreement

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Purchase and Sale. The Selling Trusts agree to sell the Subject Shares to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase the Subject Shares on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2 below), with the number of Subject Shares to be sold by each of the Selling Trusts indicated on Exhibit A. The purchase price for the Subject Shares shall be $36.64 per share, or $701,802.56 in the aggregate (the “Purchase Price”), due to the Selling Trusts from the Purchaser. The Purchase Price shall be payable in cash at the Closing (as defined below).

2. Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, 233 South Wacker Drive, Suite 5800, Chicago, Illinois 60606, on or before December 18, 2012, or on such other date as the Parties may mutually determine (the “Closing Date”).

3. Closing Deliveries of the Purchaser. At the Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver the Purchase Price to the Selling Trusts by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Selling Trusts.

4. Closing Deliveries by Selling Trusts. At the Closing:

(a) Each Selling Trust shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Purchaser, a statement executed by such Selling Trust certifying that such Selling Trust is not a foreign person in accordance with the requirements of United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b)(2), which certification shall be the same form as Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof.


(b) The Selling Trusts shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Purchaser, certificates representing the Subject Shares together with assignments separate from certificate with respect to the Subject Shares sufficient to transfer title to the Subject Shares to the Purchaser on the books of the Company and Certificates of Fiduciary Authority, including, as necessary, Medallion Guarantees.

5. Representations and Warranties of the Selling Trusts. Each Selling Trust, for itself and not for the other Selling Trusts, represents and warrants to the Purchaser that the statements contained in this Section 5 are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date, it being agreed that the Purchaser is relying on each statement.

(a) Power; Legal, Valid and Binding Obligations. Such Selling Trust (i) is duly organized and validly existing and (ii) has all necessary power and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and each of the other agreements and instruments contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Ancillary Documents”) and to perform, observe and comply with all of its agreements and obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which it is or will be a party have been or will be duly and validly executed by such Selling Trust and, upon delivery thereof by each Selling Trust, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of each Selling Trust, enforceable against each Selling Trust in accordance with their terms.

(b) No Conflict. None of the execution, delivery or performance by such Selling Trust of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document to which it is or will be a party will (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both) conflict with, result in a breach or violation of or constitute a default under (a) any contract, agreement or other instrument to which such Selling Trust is a party or by which it or its assets or property is bound or (b) any law, statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, writ, order or judgment to which such Selling Trust is subject or by which it or its assets or property is bound.

(c) Consents. No approval, consent, waiver or filing of or with any third party, including, but not limited to, any governmental bodies, agencies or instrumentalities, is required for the execution, delivery and performance by such Selling Trust of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document to which it is or will be a party.

(d) Title to Shares; Liens and Encumbrances. Such Selling Trust is the legal and beneficial owner of the Subject Shares listed opposite its name on the attached Exhibit A and holds such Subject Shares free and clear of all liens, pledges, options, claims, encumbrances and other security arrangements or restrictions of any kind other than restrictions under that certain Amended and Restated Global Hyatt Agreement dated October 1, 2009 and under the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation the (“Certificate”) (collectively, “Liens”), and upon delivery of such Subject Shares to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Purchaser will receive good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of any and all Liens.

 

2


(e) Broker’s Fees. Such Selling Trust has no liability or obligation to pay any fees or commissions to any broker, finder or agent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which the Purchaser could become liable or otherwise obligated.

(f) Independent Decision to Sell; Etc. Such Selling Trust has made an independent decision to sell its Subject Shares to the Purchaser and has determined that it has adequate information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company in connection with its decision to sell its Subject Shares. Such Selling Trust understands the disadvantage to which it may be subject on account of the disparity of information between it and the Purchaser, and further acknowledges that Purchaser and its affiliates may possess material, non-public information not known to such Selling Trust regarding or relating to the Company, its affiliates or the Subject Shares. Such Selling Trust is capable, by reason of its business or financial knowledge and experience, of evaluating the merits and risks of the sale of its Subject Shares and of protecting its own interest in connection with the sale of the Subject Shares, and such Selling Trust acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to discuss the information available to it relating to the sale of the Subject Shares with such advisors as it has deemed appropriate. Such Selling Trust acknowledges that the Purchaser has not given it any investment advice or rendered any opinion to it as to whether the sale of the Subject Shares is prudent or suitable, and, except as expressly provided in Section 6 of this Agreement, is not relying on any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser in connection with its decision to sell its Subject Shares to the Purchaser.

(g) Class B Common Stock. (i) Such Selling Trust is not aware of and has not taken or been directed to take any action which, or otherwise failed to take any action the failure of which, resulted in the conversion of the Subject Shares from shares of Class B Common Stock to shares of Class A Common Stock, as such latter two terms are defined in the Certificate, and (ii) the Subject Shares in the hands of the Selling Trust are shares of Class B Common Stock.

6. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser represents and warrants to each Selling Trust that the statements contained in this Section 6 are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date, it being agreed that each Selling Trust is relying on each such statement.

(a) Power; Legal, Valid and Binding Obligations. The Purchaser is a duly organized and validly existing limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Purchaser has all necessary power and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, and to perform, observe and comply with all of its agreements and obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement and each of the Ancillary Documents to which it is or will be a party have been or will be duly and validly executed by the Purchaser and, upon delivery thereof by the Purchaser, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with their terms.

(b) No Conflict. None of the execution, delivery or performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document to which it is a party will (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both) conflict with, result in a breach or violation of or constitute a default under (a) any contract, agreement or other instrument to which

 

3


the Purchaser is a party or by which it or its assets or property is bound or (b) any law, statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, writ, order or judgment to which the Purchaser is subject or by which it or its assets or property is bound.

(c) Consents. No approval, consent, waiver or filing of or with any third party, including, but not limited to, any governmental bodies, agencies or instrumentalities, is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document to which it is or will be a party.

(d) Legal Matters. There is no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental or other regulatory or administrative agency or commission pending, or, to the best of the Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against or involving the Purchaser which challenges the validity of this Agreement or any action taken or to be taken by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby. The Purchaser is not subject to any judgment, order or decree entered into in any lawsuit or proceeding which will have an adverse effect on the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) Broker’s Fees. The Purchaser has no liability or obligation to pay any fees or commissions to any broker, finder, or agent with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which the Selling Trusts could become liable or otherwise obligated.

(f) Independent Decision to Purchase, Etc. Purchaser is familiar with the Company and the Class B Common Stock and has all information which it deems necessary to evaluate the purchase of the Subject Shares and has not received any information or representations regarding the Company or the Subject Shares from the Selling Trusts except for the representations set forth in this Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges that the Subject Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are also subject to additional restrictions on transfer. Purchaser is acquiring the Subject Shares for Purchaser’s own account for investment purposes and not with a view towards their distribution.

Exhibit B

CERTIFICATE OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS

This certificate is being delivered in connection with that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2012, by and between FLP11 HHC, L.L.C. (“Purchaser”) and Lewis M. Linn and Aaron Stern, solely as co-trustees of the trusts listed on Exhibit A (the “Transferors”).

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”), provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform Purchaser that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by the Transferors, the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of each Transferor:

 

  (a) Each Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate, (as those terms are defined in the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder);

 

  (b) Each Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);

 

  (c) Each Transferor’s employer identification number is set forth on Schedule A next to its name; and

 

  (d) Each Transferor’s office address is set forth on Schedule A next to its employer identification number.

The Transferors understand that this Certificate may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the Purchaser and that any false statement herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both.

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certificate and to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have the authority to sign this certificate on behalf of the Transferors.
