ITEM 7.01                                  Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On March 31, 2015, The Macerich Company, a Maryland corporation (“Macerich” or the “Company”), issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has unanimously rejected Simon Property Group, Inc.’s revised, unsolicited proposal to acquire the Company for $95.50 per share in cash and stock. The Board carefully reviewed the revised, best and final proposal with the assistance of its financial, real estate and legal advisors, and determined that this revised proposal continues to substantially undervalue Macerich and its prospects for continued growth and shareholder value creation and that pursuing the proposed transaction at this time is not in the best interests of Macerich, its stockholders and other constituencies.  A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.

 

On March 31, 2015, Macerich made available on its website an investor presentation, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.
