During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The responses to Items 4, 5 and 6 of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.

8,107,511 of the Shares reported herein were purchased by 40 North Investments using its working capital and on margin, and 651,885 of the Shares reported herein were purchased by 40 North Partners using its working capital and on margin. The total purchase price for the Shares reported herein was $218,539,262. The Reporting Persons’ margin transactions are with 40 North Investments’, 40 North Partners’ and 40 North Latitude Master’s usual brokers, on such brokers’ usual terms and conditions. As of September 1, 2015, all Shares previously held by 40 North Investments and by 40 North Partners were distributed (the “Distributions”) to 40 North Latitude Feeder (a limited partner in each of 40 North Investments and 40 North Partners), and then contributed by 40 North Latitude Feeder to 40 North Latitude Master. Of such Shares, 7,597,566 were then contributed by 40 North Latitude Master to 40 North Latitude SPV. All or part of the Shares owned by the Reporting Persons may from time to time be pledged with one or more banking institutions or brokerage firms as collateral for loans made by such bank(s) or brokerage firm(s) to the Reporting Persons. Such indebtedness may be refinanced with other banks or broker-dealers.

Item 5.

(a) – (b) Following the Distributions, none of 40 North Investments, 40 North GP, 40 North Partners and 40 North GP II may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of any Shares. 40 North Latitude SPV may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 7,597,566 of the Shares reported herein, which represent approximately 6.07% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares. Each of 40 North Management, 40 North Latitude Master, 40 North Latitude Feeder, 40 North GP III, Mr. Winter and Mr. Millstone may be deemed the beneficial owner of all of the 8,759,396 Shares reported herein, which represent approximately 7.00% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares. 40 North Management may be deemed to have sole power to vote and sole power to dispose of all of such Shares, whereas the other Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared power to vote and shared power to dispose of such Shares as they may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of.

CUSIP No. 198287203

The percentages in the immediately foregoing paragraph are calculated based on a total of 125,079,946 Shares outstanding as of July 30, 2015 (based on the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on July 30, 2015).

(c) Except as set forth on Exhibit 2 attached hereto (which includes the Distributions), there have been no transactions with respect to the Shares during the sixty days prior to the date hereof by any of the Reporting Persons.
