          Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. (the “Company,” “our,” “we” or “us”) is offering to acquire, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Exchange, dated August 9, 2012 (the “Offer to Exchange”) and in the related letter of transmittal (the “Offer”) all of the 8,000,000 outstanding shares of our 8.034% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Shares”).

          For each Series A Share that we acquire pursuant to the Offer, we will exchange consideration (the “Offer Consideration”) comprised of (i) one newly issued depositary share (each a “Depositary Share”) representing 1/100^th of a share of our newly created 6.75% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (a “Series C Share”) with a liquidation value equal to $25.00 per Depositary Share, plus (ii) cash in an amount equal to the amount of all unpaid dividends accrued on such tendered Series A Share through and including the Expiration Date. Each Depositary Share represents ownership of 1/100^th of a Series C Share deposited with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as Depositary (the “Depositary”), and entitles the holder to all proportional rights, preferences and privileges of the Series C Shares represented thereby (including dividend, voting, redemption, conversion and liquidation rights and preferences). Dividends on the Series C Shares (and, therefore, the Depositary Shares) will accrue from the calendar day after the Expiration Date, regardless of the actual date of issuance.

          The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, at least 4,000,000 Series A Shares having been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer and our being satisfied in our reasonable discretion that the Depositary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Offer will be eligible to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. At the expiration of the Offer, if at least 4,000,000 Series A Shares have been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, and all other conditions are satisfied or waived, we will acquire all tendered Series A Shares from the tendering holders. The term “Expiration Date” means midnight, New York City Time, on September 7, 2012, unless we extend the period of time for which the Offer is open, in which case the term “Expiration Date” means the latest time and date on which the Offer is scheduled to expire.
