This Amendment No. 1 (this “Schedule 13D Amendment”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 24, 2014 (the “Original Schedule 13D”, as amended and supplemented hereby, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of The Macerich Company, a Maryland corporation (the “Issuer”), filed by Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board, an Ontario, Canada corporation (“Teachers’”), and 1700480 Ontario Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation (“1700480”), wholly owned by Teachers’. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D. All items or responses not described herein remain as previously reported in the Original Schedule 13D.

All calculations with respect to beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s Common Stock set forth in this Schedule 13D are based on 158,262,276 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 6, 2015, as reported on the cover of the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015, filed with the SEC by the Issuer.

Item 2. Identity and Background

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended solely with respect to Schedule A attached hereto.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following immediately after the last paragraph thereof:

The 3,117,710 shares of Common Stock acquired by 1700480 between May 5, 2015 and May 7, 2015 reported herein were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of $254,280,611. The source of the funds used to purchase such shares of Common Stock was a capital contribution to equity by 1700480’s parent, Teachers’.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

(a) and (b). 1700480, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teachers’, may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with Teachers’ with respect to the 20,258,555 shares of Common Stock it beneficially owns, representing approximately 12.8% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. In addition to such Common Stock, Teachers’ directly owns 27,682 shares of Common Stock, which together with the shares of Common Stock directly owned by 1700480 represent approximately 12.8% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. Pursuant to the Master Agreement, 1700480 agreed that if it and its affiliates collectively own (beneficially or of record) more than 9.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, 1700480 will cause to be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Issuer’s Board of Directors all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them in excess of such number of shares that represents 9.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The foregoing summary of the Master Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Master Agreement.

(c). Information concerning transactions in the Common Stock effected by 1700480 during the past sixty days is set forth in Schedule C hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. All of the transactions in the Common Stock listed in Schedule C hereto were effected in open market purchases on numerous U.S. trading venues through various brokerage entities. Except for the arrangements described in this Schedule 13D, neither Reporting Person has and, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person named in Schedule A or Schedule B has effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past sixty days.
