Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) As discussed in Item 5.07 below, at a meeting held on May 3, 2013, the stockholders of Rouse Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Rouse Properties, Inc. Management Incentive Plan (the “Management Incentive Plan”). The Management Incentive Plan was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on February, 28, 2013 and is effective for periods commencing on or after January 1, 2013. The purposes of the Management Incentive Plan are to retain and motivate the officers of the Company by providing them with the opportunity to earn incentive payments or stock-based awards based upon the extent to which specific performance goals have been achieved or exceeded for specified periods.

Under the Management Incentive Plan, the Equity Incentive Plan Subcommittee of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Subcommittee”) will select certain officers of the Company or its subsidiaries to participate in the Management Incentive Plan for a given performance period, and will establish performance goals for each participant or group of participants based on performance measures described in the Management Incentive Plan.

The foregoing description of the Management Incentive Plan is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Management Incentive Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
 
(a) The Company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 3, 2013 (the “Annual Meeting”).
 
(b) At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders (i) elected the persons listed below to serve as directors for a term expiring at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified; (ii) ratified the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2013; (iii) approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers; (iv) recommended that the Board of Directors hold an advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation every year; (v) approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to conform our ownership limit to market standards; (vi) approved the performance measures included in the Rouse Properties, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan; and (vii) approved the Rouse Properties, Inc.
