Notes
Filed as exhibit to Schedule 13D Amendment No. 23. Unusual posture: this is a 'discussion materials' deck for HHH's Special Committee — Pershing is already a 37.6% insider proposing a self-dealing transaction, so tone is collaborative/explanatory rather than adversarial. Argues affirmatively against sum-of-parts/breakup (would 'undermine MPC strategy and incur tax friction'). Frames the ask as two simple Board questions and closes with explicit 150 bps excess return hurdle. The 'modern-day Berkshire Hathaway' framing on p52 is the central narrative anchor. Heavy use of fee-comp benchmarking against Brookfield listed entities (BIP/BEP/BBU), traditional PE, non-traded REITs (BREIT/SREIT/KREST), and non-traded PE (K-PRIME/BXPE) to defend the 1.5% advisory fee.
