Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 29, 2017, CalAtlantic Group, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Lennar Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Lennar”), and Cheetah Cub Group Corp., a newly formed Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Lennar (“Merger Sub”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Company will merge (the “Merger”) with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger.

Pursuant to that certain offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement as of January 19, 2018, Lennar offered to certain eligible holders of each series of Existing CalAtlantic Notes (as defined below) the opportunity to exchange (collectively, the “Exchange Offers”) certain outstanding notes issued by the Company for (1) up to $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of new notes issued by Lennar and (2) cash. Concurrently with the Exchange Offers, Lennar, on behalf of the Company, solicited from such eligible holders of each series of Existing CalAtlantic Notes consents (collectively the “Consent Solicitations”) to remove certain of the covenants, restrictive provisions and events of default, in each case applicable to such series of Existing CalAtlantic Notes (collectively, the “Proposed Amendments”).

The Proposed Amendments include, as applicable, removal or modification of covenants or events of default with respect to:

 

    compliance with securities laws;

 

    restrictions on the incurrence of secured indebtedness;

 

    restrictions of sale and leaseback transactions;

 

    designation of restricted and unrestricted subsidiaries;

 

    the Company’s ability to merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets;

 

    periodic reporting to holders of the applicable series of Existing CalAtlantic Notes;

 

    future subsidiary guarantees;

 

    cross-default to other indebtedness;

 

    judgment defaults; and

 

    change of control triggering events (in respect of only certain series of the Existing CalAtlantic Notes).

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 1, 2018, the early tender date for the Exchange Offers, the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of each series of notes have consented to the Proposed Amendments applicable to such series, as described below:

 

    $485,609,000 of $575,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.375% Senior Notes due May 15, 2018 issued by the Company;

 

    $267,708,000 of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due May 1, 2020 issued by the Company;

 

    $397,606,000 of $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.375% Senior Notes due January 15, 2021 issued by the Company;

 

    $291,960,000 of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Notes due December 15, 2021 issued by the Company (the “2012 Notes”);

 

    $240,753,000 of $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes due October 1, 2022 issued by the Company;

 

   

$421,403,000 of $425,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due November 15, 2024 issued


 

by the Company;

 

    $395,535,000 of $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Senior Notes due June 1, 2026 issued by the Company; and

 

    $347,343,000 of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Senior Notes due June 15, 2027 issued by the Company

The notes described above, collectively, are “Existing CalAtlantic Notes”. Consequently, on February 2, 2018, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Existing CalAtlantic Notes (the “Guarantors”) entered into supplemental indentures reflecting the Proposed Amendments (the “Supplemental Indentures”). The Supplemental Indentures were effective upon execution but shall become operative only upon the closing, including completion and settlement, of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, such that the Supplemental Indentures shall be deemed to be revoked if the Exchange Offers or Consent Solicitations are terminated or withdrawn prior to completion or settlement.

The description of the Supplemental Indentures contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indentures, which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 4.1 through 4.8 and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.03 Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders

The information set forth in Item 1.01 with respect to the 2021 Notes is incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and may qualify for the safe harbor provided for in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about the expected timing for and completion of the Merger. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (including statements containing the words “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “believes,” “should,” “potential,” “may,” “forecast,” objective,” “plan,” or “targets” and other similar expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: (i) the risk that the proposed Merger may not be completed in a timely manner or at all; (ii) the risk that the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are terminated or withdrawn prior to completion or settlement; and (iii) other risks related to the Company’s business and operations described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as may be required under applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

No Offer of Solicitation.

This communication is for informational purposes only and shall not constitute an offer to purchase, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell, subscribe for or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or the solicitation of any vote or approval in connection with the proposed transaction or otherwise, nor shall there be any solicitation, offer, sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in which such solicitation, offer, sale, issuance or transfer would be unlawful. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

Additional Information about the Proposed Transaction and Where to Find It.

In connection with the proposed Merger, Lennar has filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”), in which a joint proxy statement of the Company and Lennar was included that also constitutes a prospectus (the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”). Investors and stockholders are urged to read the Registration Statement and the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus regarding the Merger and the related transactions, and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC, as well as any amendments or supplements to those documents, because they contain


important information about the Company, Lennar and the proposed Merger. You can obtain a free copy of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, as well as other filings containing information about the Company and Lennar at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov). You are also able to obtain these documents, free of charge, from the Company at www.CalAtlantic.com under the link “Investors” and then under the heading “Financials” and the subheading “SEC Filings” and from Lennar at www.Lennar.com under the tab “Investors” and then under the heading “Financials.”

- 3 -


SECTION 2.03. Trust Indenture Act Controls. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by Section 310 through 317 of the Trust Indenture Act, the imposed duties shall control.

SECTION 2.04. Conflict with Indenture.

THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in any action or proceeding to enforce any of their obligations under this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture, and agrees not to seek a transfer of any such action or proceeding on the basis of inconvenience of the forum or otherwise (but neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be prevented from removing any such action or proceeding from a state court to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York). The Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors agree that process in any such action or proceeding may be served upon it by registered mail or in any other manner permitted by the rules of the court in which the action or proceeding is brought.

SECTION 2.06. Successors. All agreements of the Company in the Base Indenture, this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Subsidiary Guarantors in this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture and in the Subsidiary Guarantee shall bind their successors. All agreements of the Trustee in the Base Indenture and this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture shall bind its successors.

SECTION 2.07. Counterparts. This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

SECTION 2.08. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY, HOLDERS AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SIXTEENTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 2.09. Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or

 

- 4 -


natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, punitive, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

SECTION 2.10. Notices. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, notice to registered Holders shall be given to the addresses as they appear in the Security Register. Notices shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such mailing or electronic delivery. Whenever a notice is required to be given by the Company, such notice may be given by the Trustee on the Company’s behalf (and the Company will make any notice it is required to give to Holders available on its website).

SECTION 2.11. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Shareholders. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or shareholder of the Company will have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

SECTION 2.12. Effectiveness. The provisions of this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture shall be effective only upon execution and delivery of this instrument by the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the provisions of this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture shall become operative only upon the closing, including completion and settlement, of the Consent Solicitation and the related Exchange Offer (as defined in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement), with the result that the amendments to the Indenture effected by this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to be revoked retroactive to the date hereof if such Consent Solicitation and related Exchange Offer is terminated or withdrawn prior to completion or settlement. The Company shall notify the Trustee promptly after the occurrence of such closing or promptly after the Company shall determine that such closing will not occur.

SECTION 2.13. Endorsement and Change of Form of Notes. Any Notes authenticated and delivered after the close of business on the date that this Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture becomes operative in substitution for Notes then outstanding and all Notes presented or delivered to the Trustee on and after that date for such purpose shall be stamped, imprinted or otherwise legended by the Company, with a notation as follows:

natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, punitive, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or shareholder of the Company will have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

SECTION 2.12. Effectiveness. The provisions of this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture shall be effective only upon execution and delivery of this instrument by the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the provisions of this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture shall become operative only upon the closing, including completion and settlement, of the Consent Solicitation and the related Exchange Offer (as defined in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement), with the result that the amendments to the Indenture effected by this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to be revoked retroactive to the date hereof if such Consent Solicitation and related Exchange Offer is terminated or withdrawn prior to completion or settlement. The Company shall notify the Trustee promptly after the occurrence of such closing or promptly after the Company shall determine that such closing will not occur.

SECTION 2.13. Endorsement and Change of Form of Notes. Any Notes authenticated and delivered after the close of business on the date that this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture becomes operative in substitution for Notes then outstanding and all Notes presented or delivered to the Trustee on and after that date for such purpose shall be stamped, imprinted or otherwise legended by the Company, with a notation as follows:
