Includes (a) 50,000,000 committed forward purchase units (Committed Forward Purchase Units) of Pershing Square Tontine Holdings, Ltd. (the Issuer), (b) 100,000,000 additional forward purchase units (Additional Forward Purchase Units and, together with the Committed Forward Purchase Units, the Forward Purchase Units), and (c) 100 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Class B Common Stock), which have aggregate voting power equal to 50,000,000 shares of the Issuers Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Class A Common Stock), and automatically convert into Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis upon (and no earlier than) the Issuers initial business combination. Each Forward Purchase Unit is comprised of one share of Class A Common Stock and one-third of one warrant to purchase a share of Class A Common Stock, and the Forward Purchase Units in aggregate are comprised of 150,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, and warrants to purchase 50,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Pershing Square Funds (as defined below) are obligated to purchase the Committed Forward Purchase Units, and may elect to purchase up to the total number of Additional Forward Purchase Units, in one or more private placements to occur no later than simultaneously with the Issuers initial business combination. The warrants included in Forward Purchase Units have an exercise price of $23.00 per share and are exercisable upon the later of (x) July 24, 2021 and (y) 30 days following the consummation of the Issuers initial business combination. As of the date of this filing, the Pershing Square Funds have not purchased any Forward Purchase Units. There has been no change in the voting power or ownership of the Reporting Persons since the Issuers initial public offering on July 24, 2020.

(2)

This calculation is based on (a) 200,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of November 12, 2020, as reported in the Issuers Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 12, 2020 (the Form 10-Q), (b) 200,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock included in, or issuable upon the exercise of warrants included in, the Forward Purchase Units, and (c) 100 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable to the Reporting Persons upon the automatic conversion of the Class B Common Stock at the time of the Issuers initial business combination.

(3)

The number of shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are treated as converted into Class A Common Stock only for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the Reporting Persons for the purpose of this Schedule 13G. Such percentage ownership does not give effect to the aggregate voting power of the Class B Common Stock, as these shares are treated as converted into Class A Common Stock for the purpose of this Schedule 13G. The Reporting Persons currently have voting power equal to 20% of the combined voting power of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock currently outstanding, and assuming continued ownership of the Class B Common Stock and the ownership of all other shares reported above as beneficially owned, would have voting power equal to 55.6% of the combined voting power of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
