Pershing Square Activist Presentation Deck
Additional Disclaimers and Notes to Performance Results
The performance results of PSH and Pershing Square, L.P., the Pershing Square fund with the longest performance track record, included in this presentation are presented on a gross and net-of-
fees basis. Gross and net performance include the reinvestment of all dividends, interest, and capital gains from our underlying portfolio companies, and reflect the deduction of, among other
things, brokerage commissions and administrative expenses. Net performance reflects the deduction of management fees and accrued performance fee/allocation, if any. Since June 20, 2019, PSH
has engaged in share repurchases whereby its buyback agent has repurchased Public Shares subject to certain limitations. Any positive impact on performance due to these share buybacks is
reflected herein. Performance is based on the dollar return for the specific period, including any and all dividends paid by PSH, calculated from the beginning of such period to the end of such
period. All performance provided herein assumes an investor that has been in the Pershing Square funds since their respective inception dates and participated in any "new issues," as such term is
defined under Rules 5130 and 5131 of FINRA. Depending on timing of a specific investment and participation in "new issues," net performance for an individual investor may vary from the net
performance as stated herein. Performance data for 2019 and 2020 is estimated and unaudited.
Pershing Square, L.P.'s net returns for 2004 were calculated net of a $1.5 million (approximately 3.9%) annual management fee and performance allocation equal to 20% above a 6% hurdle, in
dance with the terms the limited partnership agreement of Pershing Squal L.P. then in effect. That limited partnership agreement was later amended to provid for a 1.5% annual
management fee and 20% performance allocation effective January 1, 2005. The net returns for Pershing Square, L.P. set out in this document reflect the different fee arrangements in 2004, and
subsequently. In addition, pursuant to a separate agreement, in 2004 the sole unaffiliated limited partner paid Pershing Square an additional $840,000 for overhead expenses in connection with
services provided unrelated to Pershing Square, L.P. which have not been taken into account in determining Pershing Square, L.P.'s net returns. To the extent such overhead expenses had been
included in fund expenses, net returns would have been lower.

The performance attributions to the gross returns provided on page 17 are for illustrative purposes only. Each position with contribution to returns of at least 50 basis points (when rounded to the
nearest tenth) is shown separately. Positions with smaller contributions are aggregated. Returns were calculated taking into account currency hedges, if any. At times, Pershing Square may engage
in hedging transactions to seek to reduce risk in the portfolio, including investment specific hedges that do not relate to the underlying securities of the company in which the Pershing Square
funds are invested. Unless otherwise noted herein, gross returns include (i) only returns on the investment in the underlying company and the hedge positions that directly relate to the securities
that reference the underlying company (e.g., if Pershing Square, L.P. was long Company A stock and also purchased puts on Company A stock, the gross return reflects the profit/loss on the stock
and the profit/loss on the put); (ii) do not reflect the cost/benefit of hedges that do not relate to the securities that reference the underlying company (e.g., if Pershing Square, L.P. was long Company
A stock and short Company B stock, the profit/loss on the Company B stock is not included in the gross returns attributable to the investment in Company A); and (iii) do not reflect the cost/benefit
of portfolio hedges. These gross returns do not reflect deduction of management fees and accrued performance fee/allocation. These returns (and attributions) do not reflect certain other fund
expenses (e.g., administrative expenses). Inclusion of such fees/allocations and expenses would produce lower returns than presented here. Please refer to the net performance figures presented
on page 15 of this presentation.
Share price performance data takes into account the issuer's dividends, if any. Share price performance data is provided for illustrative 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 4, 2020.
