Represents shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “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 Person is party to certain agreements with the Separately Filing Group Members (as defined in the 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 the 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 January 31, 2012, as reported in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. The percentage is calculated using the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person and based on 165,181,887 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of January 31, 2012. 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 0.0% of the total voting power of the Common Stock as of January 31, 2012. 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 January 31, 2012, which is comprised of 45,567,303 shares of Class A Common Stock and 119,614,584 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 Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 4”) relates to the Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Hyatt Hotels Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), which has its principal executive office at 71 South Wacker Drive, 12th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60606. This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements, as set forth below, the Schedule 13D filed by CIBC Trust Company (Bahamas) Limited (“CIBC”) with respect to the Issuer on August 26, 2010 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by CIBC with respect to the Issuer on September 9, 2010 (“Amendment No. 1”), Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person with respect to the Issuer on January 6, 2011 (“Amendment No. 2”) and Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person with respect to the Issuer on May 16, 2011 (“Amendment No. 3”). The Original Schedule 13D, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3 and Amendment No. 4 is referred to as the “Schedule 13D”. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. The Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by adding the information contained herein. Only those items amended are reported herein.

This Amendment No. 4 constitutes an “exit” filing with respect to the Schedule 13D by the Reporting Person but not as to any other Separately Filing Group Members or any other person or entity.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph at the end thereof:

On March 13, 2012, the Reporting Person transferred 520,587 shares of Class B Common Stock in the aggregate, which represented all of the shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Reporting Person, to (i) limited liability companies whose members are one or more Thomas J. Pritzker Family Trusts and Gigi Pritzker Pucker Family Trusts and (ii) Horton Trust Company LLC, not individually but solely as trustee of a Penny Pritzker Family Trust. These shares were sold in a privately negotiated transaction for the purchase price of $40.00 per shares, or $20,823,480 in the aggregate. The transfers constituted “Permitted Transfers” as defined under the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and, accordingly, the shares of Class B Common Stock transferred to (i) limited liability companies whose members are one or more Thomas J. Pritzker Family Trusts and Gigi Pritzker Pucker Family Trusts and (ii) Horton Trust Company LLC, not individually but solely as trustee of a Penny Pritzker Family Trust, remained shares of Class B Common Stock following the transfers.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented as follows:

The Reporting Person no longer has any interest in the securities of the Issuer as of March 13, 2012.

Schedule B attached to this Amendment No. 4 amends and restates, in its entirety, Schedule B attached to the Schedule 13D. Schedule B attached to this Amendment No. 4 sets forth, as of the date hereof, the number of shares and percentage of the Class A Common Stock outstanding, the number of shares and percentage of the Class B Common Stock outstanding, the percentage of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, and the percentage of the total voting power of the shares of Common Stock outstanding, voting together as a single class, represented by the shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons and each Separately Filing Group Member.

Thomas J. Pritzker holds 29,926 stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) that are currently exercisable at an exercise price of $40.96.
