The Reporting Person is party to certain agreements with the Separately Filing Group Members (as defined in this Schedule 13D), which agreements contain, among other things, certain voting agreements and limitations on the sale of their shares of Common Stock. As a result, the Reporting Person may be deemed to be a member of a “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act (as defined in this Schedule 13D), comprised of the Reporting Person and the Separately Filing Group Members. Shares listed as beneficially owned by the Reporting Person exclude shares held by any other Reporting Person or by any of the Separately Filing Group Members, in each case as to which the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership.

All references to the number of shares outstanding are as of July 31, 2010, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010, as adjusted to account for 539,588 shares of Class B Common Stock that were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Distribution (as defined in this Schedule 13D). The percentage is calculated using the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person and based on 173,922,706 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 31, 2010. With respect to matters upon which the Issuer’s stockholders are entitled to vote, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class, and each holder of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and each holder of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes per share. The shares of Class B Common Stock owned by the Reporting Person represent 5.5% of the total voting power of the Common Stock as of July 31, 2010, as adjusted. The percentage of total voting power of the Common Stock is calculated based on the total voting power of the Common Stock outstanding as of July 31, 2010, as adjusted, which is comprised of 44,456,706 shares of Class A Common Stock and 129,466,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and assumes that no outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock.

EXPLANATORY NOTE: This Schedule 13D is being filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined in Item 2 below) pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), and Rule 13d-1(a) thereunder, with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Hyatt Hotels Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), held by the Reporting Persons, including shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”). As provided in the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into one share of Class A Common Stock. The Reporting Persons are party to certain agreements with the Separately Filing Group Members (as defined in Item 2 below), which agreements contain, among other things, certain voting agreements and limitations on the sale of their shares of Common Stock. As a result, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group”, within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act, comprised of the Reporting Persons and the Separately Filing Group Members (collectively, the “Pritzker Family Group”).

Except as otherwise described in this Schedule 13D, the shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons were previously held by Thomas J. Pritzker, Marshall E. Eisenberg and Karl J. Breyer, not individually, but solely in their capacity as co-trustees of U.S. situs trusts for the benefit of certain lineal descendants of Nicholas J. Pritzker, deceased (the “U.S. Situs Trusts”), and/or IHE, INC. (“IHE”) and its subsidiaries, as previously reported on a Schedule 13G filed on November 4, 2009, as amended, pursuant to Section 13(g) of the Act and Rule 13d-1(d) thereunder.

On August 17, 2010, the co-trustees of the U.S. Situs Trusts either allocated or distributed, in the aggregate, 75,978,487 shares of Class B Common Stock to the Reporting Persons and certain of the Separately Filing Group Members. In addition, on August 17, 2010, IHE distributed, in the aggregate, 23,765,141 shares of Class B Common Stock to CIBC Trust Company (Bahamas) Limited, solely in the capacity as trustee of non-U.S. situs trusts for the benefit of certain lineal descendants of Nicholas J. Pritzker, deceased (the “Non-U.S. Situs Trusts”), certain of the other Separately Filing Group Members and certain other persons, and the trustee of the Non-U.S. Situs Trusts and certain other members of IHE allocated or distributed, in the aggregate, 18,025,104 shares of Class B Common Stock previously held by IHE and its subsidiaries to the Reporting Persons, certain of the Separately Filing Group Members and certain other persons. We refer to all of the above allocations and distributions, collectively, as the “Distribution.” Contemporaneous with the Distribution, the Reporting Persons executed joinders to, and thereby became subject to the provisions of, the agreements described in Item 6 below. The Distribution to the Reporting Persons qualified as a “Permitted Transfer” for purposes of the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and, accordingly, the shares of Class B Common Stock allocated or distributed to the Reporting Persons remained shares of Class B Common Stock immediately following the Distribution. Certain other persons who received shares in the Distribution are not party to the agreements described in Item 6 below and their shares were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Distribution. The Reporting Persons and the Separately Filing Group Members may be deemed to have become beneficial owners of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock received in the Distribution, pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Act and Rule 13d-1(a) thereunder, resulting in the obligation to file this Schedule 13D. It is the understanding of the Reporting Persons that the Separately Filing Group Members are filing separate Schedule 13Ds pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(2) under the Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Separately Filing Group Members.

No funds or other consideration were used by the U.S. Trustee or the Non-U.S. Trustee to acquire the shares of Common Stock in the Distribution.

Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by any other Reporting Person or any of the Separately Filing Group Members. The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any of the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act or otherwise, the beneficial owner of shares held by any other Reporting Person or any of the Separately Filing Group Members.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

As described below, one or more of the Reporting Persons, together with certain other members of the Pritzker Family Group, are parties to the Global Hyatt Agreement (as defined below), the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement (as defined below), the Agreement Relating to Stock (as defined below), the 2009 Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below), and the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program relating to the Common Stock of the Issuer.

Amended and Restated Global Hyatt Agreement

On October 1, 2009, Thomas J. Pritzker, Marshall E. Eisenberg and Karl J. Breyer, solely in the capacity as co-trustees of the U.S. Situs Trusts, and the adult beneficiaries of such trusts, entered into the Amended and Restated Global Hyatt Agreement (the “Global Hyatt Agreement”) pursuant to which they agreed to, among other things, certain voting agreements and limitations on the sale of shares of the Common Stock. Contemporaneous with the Distribution, certain of the Reporting Persons and certain of the Separately Filing Group Members executed joinders to, and thereby became subject to the provisions of, the Global Hyatt Agreement.


CUSIP No. 448579102   13D   Page 14 of 27 Pages

 

The parties to the Global Hyatt Agreement agreed that until the later to occur of (i) January 1, 2015 and (ii) the date upon which more than 75% of the Issuer’s fully diluted shares of Common Stock is owned by persons other than Pritzker family members and spouses (including any U.S. Situs Trusts or Non-U.S. Situs Trusts for the current or future, direct or indirect, vested or contingent, benefit of Pritzker family members and spouses) (the “Lock-Up Expiration Date”), all Pritzkers (as defined in the Global Hyatt Agreement) (and their successors in interest, if applicable), but not the transferees by sale (other than Pritzkers who purchase directly from other Pritzkers), will vote all of their voting securities consistent with the recommendations of the board of directors of the Issuer with respect to all matters (assuming agreement as to any such matter by a majority of a minimum of three independent directors (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker) or, in the case of transactions involving the Issuer and an affiliate, assuming agreement of all of such minimum of three independent directors (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker)). All Pritzkers have agreed to cast and submit by proxy to the Issuer their votes in a manner consistent with the foregoing voting agreement at least five business days prior to the scheduled date of the annual or special meeting of stockholders, as applicable.

In addition, the parties to the Global Hyatt Agreement agreed that until the Lock-Up Expiration Date, all Pritzker family members and spouses (including trusts for the current or future, direct or indirect, vested or contingent, benefit of any Pritzker family members and spouses or affiliates of any thereof) in a “beneficiary group” (as defined below) (including trusts only to the extent of the then current benefit of members of such beneficiary group) may sell up to 25% of their aggregate holdings of the Common Stock, measured as of November 4, 2009, in each 12-month period following November 4, 2009 (without carry-overs), and shall not sell more than such amount during any such period. Upon the unanimous affirmative vote of the independent directors of the Issuer (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker), such 25% limitation may, with respect to each such 12-month period, be increased to a higher percentage or waived entirely. In connection with the initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Class A Common Stock, the independent directors of the Issuer unanimously waived such 25% limitation with respect to shares sold in the IPO and U.S. Situs Trusts for the benefit of each beneficiary group collectively sold 26.7% of the beneficiary groups’ aggregate holdings of the Common Stock in the IPO. No additional shares of Common Stock may be sold prior to November 5, 2010 without the further unanimous affirmative vote of the independent directors of the Issuer. Sales of the Common Stock between and among Pritzkers is permitted without regard to the sale restrictions described above and such sales are not counted against the 25% sale limitation. All shares of the Common Stock owned by each beneficiary group (including trusts only to the extent of the then current benefit of members of such beneficiary group) are freely pledgeable to an institutional lender and such institutional lender will not be subject to the sale restrictions described above upon default and foreclosure.


CUSIP No. 448579102   13D   Page 15 of 27 Pages

 

The Global Hyatt Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated by the written agreement of the co-trustees of the U.S. Situs Trusts, 75% of the adult beneficiaries named below and a majority of the other adult beneficiaries party to the agreement. Each of Thomas J. Pritzker, Nicholas J. Pritzker, James N. Pritzker, John A. Pritzker, Linda Pritzker, Karen L. Pritzker, Penny Pritzker, Daniel F. Pritzker, Anthony N. Pritzker, Gigi Pritzker Pucker and Jay Robert Pritzker, and their respective lineal descendants and current spouse, if relevant, make up a “beneficiary group.”

Disputes that relate to the subject matter of the Global Hyatt Agreement are subject to arbitration pursuant to the terms of the agreement. The exclusive requirement to arbitrate under the Global Hyatt Agreement does not apply with respect to the manner in which the Issuer’s operations are conducted to the extent the parties (in their capacities as stockholders) and non-Pritzker public stockholders are affected comparably; provided, however, that a party may participate in and benefit from any shareholder litigation initiated by a non-party to the agreement. A party to the agreement may not solicit others to initiate or be a named plaintiff in such litigation (i) unless two thirds of the independent directors (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker) on the board of directors of the Issuer (consisting of at least three independent directors) do not vote in favor of the matter that is the subject of the litigation or (ii) in the case of affiliated transactions reviewed by the board of directors of the Issuer, unless at least one independent director (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker) did not approve the transaction.

The summary of the Global Hyatt Agreement contained in this Item 6 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Global Hyatt Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Amended and Restated Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement

On October 1, 2009, the adult beneficiaries of the Non-U.S. Situs Trusts entered into the Amended and Restated Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement (the “Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement”) pursuant to which they agreed to, among other things, certain voting agreements and limitations on the sale of shares of the Common Stock. The adult beneficiaries informed CIBC, in its capacity as trustee of such Non-U.S. Situs Trusts, of their agreement and expressed their desire that the trustee act in accordance with the provisions of the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement. CIBC, in its capacity as trustee of the Non-U.S. Situs Trusts, has joined the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement. Contemporaneous with the Distribution, certain of the Reporting Persons and certain of the Separately Filing Group Members executed joinders to, and thereby became subject to the provisions of, the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement.


CUSIP No. 448579102   13D   Page 16 of 27 Pages

 

The parties to the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement agreed that until the Lock-Up Expiration Date, all Pritzkers (as defined in the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement) (and their successors in interest, if applicable), but not the transferees by sale (other than Pritzkers who purchase directly from other Pritzkers), will vote (or cause to be voted) all of the voting securities held directly or indirectly by them consistent with the recommendations of the board of directors of the Issuer with respect to all matters (assuming agreement as to any such matter by a majority of a minimum of three independent directors (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker) or, in the case of transactions involving the Issuer and an affiliate, assuming agreement of all of such minimum of three independent directors (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker)). All Pritzkers have agreed to cast and submit by proxy to the Issuer their votes in a manner consistent with the foregoing voting agreement at least five business days prior to the scheduled date of the annual or special meeting of stockholders, as applicable.

In addition, the parties to the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement agreed that until the Lock-Up Expiration Date, all Pritzker family members and spouses (including trusts for the current or future, direct or indirect, vested or contingent, benefit of any Pritzker family members and spouses and/or affiliates of any thereof) in a “beneficiary group” (including trusts only to the extent of the then current benefit of members of such beneficiary group) may sell up to 25% of their aggregate holdings of the Common Stock, measured as of November 4, 2009, in each 12-month period following November 4, 2009 (without carry-overs), and shall not sell more than such amount during any such period. Upon the unanimous affirmative vote of the independent directors of the Issuer (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker), such 25% limitation may, with respect to each such 12-month period, be increased to a higher percentage or waived entirely. As a result of the sales of shares of Common Stock by the U.S. Situs Trusts in the IPO, no additional shares of Common Stock may be sold prior to November 5, 2010 without the further unanimous affirmative vote of the independent directors of the Issuer. Sales of the Common Stock between and among Pritzkers is permitted without regard to the sale restrictions described above and such sales are not counted against the 25% sale limitation. All shares of the Common Stock owned directly or indirectly by each beneficiary group (including trusts only to the extent of the then current benefit of members of such beneficiary group) are freely pledgeable to an institutional lender and such institutional lender will not be subject to the sale restrictions described above upon default and foreclosure.

The Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated by the written agreement of 75% of the adult beneficiaries named above and a majority of the other adult beneficiaries party to the agreement.

Disputes that relate to the subject matter of the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement are subject to arbitration pursuant to the terms of the agreement. The exclusive requirement to arbitrate under the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement does not apply with respect to the manner in which Issuer’s operations are conducted to the extent the parties (in their capacities as stockholders) and non-Pritzker public stockholders are affected comparably; provided, however, that a party may participate in and benefit from any shareholder litigation initiated by a non-party to the agreement. A party to the agreement may not solicit others to initiate or be a named plaintiff in such litigation (i) unless two thirds of the independent directors (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker) on the board of directors of the Issuer (consisting of at least three independent directors) do not vote in favor of the matter that is the subject of the litigation or (ii) in the case of affiliated transactions reviewed by the board of directors of the Issuer, unless at least one independent director (excluding for such purposes any Pritzker) did not approve the transaction.

Amended and Restated Agreement Relating to Stock

On October 26, 2009, Thomas J. Pritzker, Marshall E. Eisenberg and Karl J. Breyer, solely in their capacity as co-trustees of U.S. situs trusts for the benefit of Thomas J. Pritzker, Penny Pritzker and Gigi Pritzker Pucker and their lineal descendants, that own, directly or indirectly, shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer and Thomas J. Pritzker, Penny Pritzker and Gigi Pritzker Pucker and their respective adult lineal descendants entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement Relating to Stock (the “Agreement Relating to Stock”) whereby such parties have agreed to further restrict their ability to transfer certain shares of Common Stock. Contemporaneous with the Distribution, the Reporting Persons and certain of the Separately Filing Group Members executed joinders to, and thereby became subject to the provisions of the Agreement Relating to Stock.

Subject to limited permitted transfers described in the Agreement Relating to Stock and subject to the terms of the Global Hyatt Agreement and Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement described above, the parties have agreed that each stockholder party to the Agreement Relating to Stock may transfer up to one-third of its Common Stock held as of August 28, 2007 (or deemed to be held as of such date) to unaffiliated third parties during each 365-day period beginning on the dates that are three and one-half, four and one-half and five and one-half years following the consummation of the IPO; provided that such transfers are accomplished by way of a broad distribution sale.

In addition, each stockholder may transfer up to one-third of its Common Stock held as of August 28, 2007 (or deemed to be held as of such date) to unaffiliated third parties (1) at any time following the end of the first calendar year during which the “existing stockholders” (as described below) owned less than 25% of the Common Stock at any time during such year or (2) at any time following the first date on which the applicable market value of the Class A Common Stock exceeds $44.55 per share; provided that such transfers are accomplished by way of an underwritten public offering or in an otherwise broad distribution sale. The term “existing stockholders” is defined in the agreement to mean (i) members of the Pritzker family who are lineal descendants of Nicholas J. Pritzker, deceased, and their spouses, (ii) trusts for the benefit of such persons, or (iii) affiliates of any such persons listed in clauses (i) and (ii).


CUSIP No. 448579102   13D   Page 18 of 27 Pages

 

In addition, no stockholder party to the Agreement Relating to Stock may transfer (i) the legal or beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock held by such stockholder unless such acquiring person’s ownership of Common Stock is not reasonably likely to jeopardize any licensing from a governmental authority, (ii) any Common Stock to a competitor of the Issuer engaged in one or more of the hospitality, lodging or gaming industries, (iii) any Common Stock to an aggregator (i.e., a person who is required to file a Schedule 13D (or successor form) under the Act, disclosing an intent other than for investment) or (iv) any Common Stock that would cause a stockholder to violate any provision of the Agreement Relating to Stock. Such restrictions are qualified by the “actual knowledge” of the transferring stockholder in the case of transfers pursuant to an underwritten public offering or a broad distribution sale.

The transfer restrictions set forth in the Agreement Relating to Stock expire at 11:59 p.m. (Central time) on the earlier of the day after the date that is five and one-half years following November 10, 2009 (the closing of the IPO) or the date on which the stockholders party to that certain Global Hyatt Corporation 2007 Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2007, by and among Hyatt Hotels Corporation (f/k/a Global Hyatt Corporation) and certain other parties, are released from the transfer restrictions set forth therein. The Agreement Relating to Stock may be amended by the holders of a majority of the restricted stock held by the stockholders party to the agreement and each of Thomas J. Pritzker, Penny Pritzker and Gigi Pritzker Pucker, and may be terminated by the written agreement of each of the parties thereto. Disputes that relate to the subject matter of the Agreement Relating to Stock are subject to arbitration.

The summary of the Agreement Relating to Stock contained in this Item 6 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement Relating to Stock, which is filed as Exhibit 4 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
