Pershing Square Investor Presentation Deck
Additional Disclaimers and Notes to Performance Results
Share price performance data takes into account the issuer's dividends, if any. Share price performance data is provided forillustrative purposes only and is not an indication of actual returns of
PSH over the periods presented or future returns of PSH. Additionally, it should not be assumed that any of the changes in shares prices of the investments listed herein indicate that the investment
recommendations or decisions that Pershing Square makes in the future will be profitable or will generate values equal to those of the companies discussed herein. All share price performance data
calculated "to date" is calculated through February 16, 2021.
Average cost basis is determined using a methodology that takes into account not only the cost of outright purchases of stock(typically over a period of time) but also a per share cost of the
shares underlying certain derivative instruments acquired by Pershing Square to build a long position. "Average Cost" reflects the average cost of the position that has been built over time as of the
"Announcement Ďate" which is the date the position was first made public.
The average cost basis for long positions has been calculated based on the following methodology:
the cost of outright purchase of shares of common stock is the price paid for the shares on the date of acquisition divided by the number of shares purchased;
(b) the cost of an equity swap is the price of the underlying share on the date of acquisition divided by the number of underlying shares;
(c) the cost of an equity forward is the reference price of the forward on the date of acquisition divided by the number of underlying shares;
(d) the cost of call options that were in the money at the time of announcement is (except when otherwise noted) (i) the option price plus the strike price less any rebates the Pershing Square
funds would receive upon exercise divided by (ii) the number of shares underlying the call options;
(e) call options that are out of the money at the time of announcement are dis regarded for purposes of the calculation (i.e., the cost of the options acquired are not included in the numerator
of the calculation and the underlying shares are not included in the denominator of the calculation);
(f) the cost of shares acquired pursuant to put options sold by the Pershing Square funds, where the underlying stock was put to the Pershing Square funds prior to the time of
announcement, is (i) the strike price of the put options paid when the shares were put to the Pershing Square funds less the premium received by the Pershing Square funds when the put
was sold divided by (ii) the number of shares received upon exercise of the put options; and
(g) premium received from put options written by the Pershing Square funds where the underlying stock was not put to the Pershing Square funds, and the option was out-of-the money at the
time of announcement are included in the numerator of the calculation.
