In this prospectus supplement, references to "we," "our," and "us" refer to Equity Lifestyle Properties, Inc. (formerly Manufactured Home Communities, Inc).
This prospectus supplement amends the prospectus dated January 17, 1996 (the "Prospectus").
The Prospectus is being updated to identify the current holders of certain Original OP Units in MHC Operating Limited Partnership, an Illinois limited partnership, after related party transfers and make clear that any Shares received by such holders upon the future conversion of their Original OP Units would be registered pursuant to the Prospectus and related registration statement. The Original OP Units are convertible into an equivalent number of Shares, or, in our discretion, cash in lieu of Shares, and were acquired in private transactions at the time of the Company's initial public offering in March 1993. We have been informed that none of the holders of Original OP Units listed below have the current intention to convert any Original OP Units for Shares or to sell any such Shares.
Amounts presented in the below table and related footnotes have been adjusted for our two-for-one stock split that was effected by and in the form of a stock dividend in July 2013. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this prospectus supplement have the meanings given to such terms in the Prospectus.
You should read this prospectus supplement in conjunction with the Prospectus. This prospectus supplement is not complete without, and may not be delivered or used except in conjunction with, the Prospectus. This prospectus supplement is qualified by reference to the Prospectus, except to the extent that the information provided by this prospectus supplement supersedes information contained in the Prospectus.

In addition, the holders identified in the table below may have acquired, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their Shares since the date on which they provided the information regarding their Shares.
