Offer to Exchange

 

 

Series B 4.75% Senior Notes due 2017, including related guarantees,

for Series A 4.75% Senior Notes due 2017,

$400,000,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding

 

 

The exchange offer and withdrawal rights

will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time,

on January 15, 2013, unless we extend the exchange offer.

 

 

We are offering to issue our Series B 4.75% Senior Notes due 2017 (“Series B Notes”) in exchange for identical principal amounts of our outstanding Series A 4.75% Senior Notes due 2017 (“Series A Notes”, and together with the Series B Notes “Notes”). The aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Series A Notes, and therefore the aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes that would be issued if all the Series A Notes were exchanged, is $400,000,000. The terms of the Series B Notes and the guarantees of those Series B Notes will be identical with the terms of the Series A Notes and the guarantees of those Series A Notes, except that because the issuance of the Series B Notes and the guarantees of those Series B Notes is being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, there are no transfer restrictions with regard to the Series B Notes or the guarantees of those Series B Notes.

We issued the Series A Notes on July 20, 2012 and August 14, 2012 in transactions that were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). This exchange offer is being made in accordance with a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of July 20, 2012 among the initial purchasers of the Series A Notes and us.

The Series A Notes are, and the Series B Notes, when issued, will be, our senior, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank equally with all of our other senior, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness outstanding from time-to-time. The Notes are guaranteed by some, but not all, of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Any subsidiary guarantees may be suspended under certain circumstances. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part registers the guarantees as well as the Series B Notes.

Before the exchange offer, there has been no public market for the Series B Notes. We do not currently intend to list the Series B Notes on a securities exchange or seek approval for quotation of the Series B Notes on an automated quotation system. Therefore, it is unlikely that an active trading market for the Series B Notes will develop. We will receive no proceeds from the exchange offer.

This prospectus incorporates important business and financial information about us that is not included in or delivered with this prospectus. That information will be made available without charge to our security holders upon oral request by calling our Office of the General Counsel at (305) 559-4000, or upon written request addressed to Lennar Corporation, 700 Northwest 107th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33172, Attn: Office of the General Counsel. To obtain timely delivery, security holders must request the information no later than five business days before January 15, 2013, the expiration date of the exchange offer.

The exchange agent for the exchange offer is The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. This prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal are being distributed to holders of Series A Notes on or about December 13, 2012.

Broker-dealers that receive Series B Notes for their own account in exchange for Series A Notes must acknowledge in the accompanying letter of transmittal or through an agent’s message that they will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the Series B Notes. Broker-dealers that acquired Series A Notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and who receive Series B Notes in exchange for those Series A Notes in the exchange offer may use this prospectus, as it may be supplemented or amended, in connection with the resale of those Series B Notes.

 

 

Investment in the Series  B Notes to be issued in the exchange offer involves risks. You should carefully read the “Risk Factors” section, which begins on page 7 of this prospectus, before you exchange your Series A Notes.

These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission nor has the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

 

The date of this prospectus is December 13, 2012.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

Each broker-dealer that receives Series B Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of those Series B Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time-to-time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with sales of Series B Notes received in exchange for Series A Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, starting on the day the exchange offer expires and ending at the close of business on the first anniversary of that date, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until January 22, 2013, all dealers effecting transactions in the Series B Notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus. If given or made, that information or those representations may not be relied upon as having been authorized by us. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to or solicitation of any person in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation would be unlawful.

You should not assume that the information in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any document incorporated into this prospectus by reference is accurate as of any date other than the date of the applicable document. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements include statements regarding this exchange offer, as well as our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies and prospects. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements. These factors include those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in this prospectus, those described in Item 1A (entitled “Risk Factors”) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended November 30, 2011, and in other documents that we file with the SEC that are incorporated into this prospectus by reference, and other factors that may be described in filings we made or make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as required by federal securities laws.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus or in documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus. This summary is not intended to be a complete description of the matters covered in this prospectus and is subject, and qualified in its entirety by reference, to the more detailed information and financial statements incorporated by reference in this prospectus. It does not contain all the information you should consider before deciding whether to exchange your Series A Notes for Series B Notes. You should read the entire prospectus. Unless otherwise defined in this prospectus, the terms “the Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Lennar Corporation and its subsidiaries.

LENNAR CORPORATION

We are one of the nation’s largest homebuilders, a provider of financial services and, through our Rialto Investments segment, an investor in distressed real estate assets. Our homebuilding operations include the construction and sale of single-family attached and detached homes, as well as the purchase, development and sale of residential land directly and through unconsolidated entities in which we have investments. We conduct homebuilding activities in 16 states, with our largest homebuilding operations in Florida, Texas and California. We also provide mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services to our homebuyers and others. Substantially all of the loans that we originate are sold within a short period in the secondary mortgage market on a servicing released, non-recourse basis. After the loans are sold, we retain potential liability for possible claims by purchasers that we breached certain limited industry-standard representations and warranties in the loan sale agreements. Our financial services segment operates generally in the same states as our homebuilding operations, but also operates in other states. Our Rialto Investments segment attempts to generate superior returns by focusing on commercial and residential real estate opportunities arising from the dislocation in the United States real estate markets and from the anticipated eventual restructuring and recapitalization of those markets. The Rialto Investments segment operations include sourcing, underwriting, pricing, managing and ultimately monetizing real estate and real estate related assets, as well as providing similar services to others in markets across the country.

For additional information, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended February 29, 2012, May 31, 2012 and August 31, 2012, which are incorporated into this prospectus by reference.

We are a Delaware corporation. Our principal offices are at 700 Northwest 107th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33172. Our telephone number at these offices is (305) 559-4000. Our website address is www.lennar.com. The information on our website is not part of this prospectus.

ISSUANCE OF THE SERIES A NOTES

On July 20, 2012, we sold $350 million, and on August 14, 2012, we sold an additional $50 million, aggregate principal amount of Series A 4.75% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Series A Notes”) to initial purchasers (the “Initial Purchasers”) in a transaction that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Initial Purchasers subsequently resold the Series A Notes in reliance on Rule 144A or other exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. We entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Initial Purchasers, pursuant to which we agreed to exchange registered Series B 4.75% Senior Notes due 2017 (“Series B Notes,” and together with the Series A Notes, “Notes”) for the Series A Notes and also granted holders of Series A Notes rights under certain circumstances to have resales of Series A Notes registered under the Securities Act. The exchange offer made by this prospectus is intended to satisfy our principal obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

We issued the Series A Notes under an indenture dated as of July 20, 2012, among us, the potential subsidiary guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Series B Notes will also be issued under the Indenture and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. The form and terms of the Series B Notes will be identical in all material respects with the form and terms of the Series A Notes, except that (1) the Series B Notes will have been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, the global certificate (and any individual certificates) will not bear legends describing restrictions on transferring the Series B Notes represented by the certificates, and (2) holders of Series B Notes will not be, and upon the consummation of the exchange offer, holders of Series A Notes will no longer be, entitled to rights under the Registration Rights Agreement. Series A Notes that are not exchanged will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer.

A portion of the net proceeds we received from the issuance of the Series A Notes was used to purchase our 5.95% senior notes due 2013 that were tendered in response to a tender offer that ran from July 17, 2012 to August 14, 2012. We will receive no proceeds from the exchange of the Series B Notes for the Series A Notes pursuant to the exchange offer.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

 

The Exchange Offer    We are offering to exchange our Series B 4.75% Senior Notes due 2017, for identical principal amounts of our outstanding Series A 4.75% Senior Notes due 2017. As of the date of this prospectus, $400 million aggregate principal amount of Series A 4.75% Senior Notes are outstanding.
Expiration of Exchange Offer    5:00 p.m., New York time on January 15, 2013, unless we extend the exchange offer. In this prospectus, we refer to the date the exchange offer will expire as the “expiration date.”
Conditions of the Exchange Offer    The only condition to the exchange offer is that we not be advised that completion of the exchange offer would, or might, be unlawful. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of Series A Notes being tendered for exchange.
Accrued Interest on the Series A Notes    Interest on Series A Notes that are exchanged will cease to accrue on the last interest payment date before the day on which Series B Notes are issued in exchange for them. However, Series B Notes issued in exchange for Series A Notes will bear interest from the last interest payment date before the day on which they are issued in exchange for the Series A Notes. Therefore, exchanging Series A Notes for Series B Notes will not affect the amount of interest a holder will receive.
Interest on the Series B Notes    Interest on the Series B Notes will be paid on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning April 15, 2013.
Procedures for Tendering Series A Notes    A holder of Series A Notes who wishes to accept the exchange offer must deliver to the exchange agent, before the exchange offer expires:
  

(1)     A confirmation from The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) that the Series A Notes have been delivered by book-entry transfer to an account of the exchange agent with DTC (a “Book-Entry Confirmation”);

  

(2)    Either

  

(a)     A letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of one, that has been completed and executed in accordance with the instructions contained in the section of this prospectus titled “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Notes” and in the letter of transmittal, or

  

(b)     A message from DTC (an “Agent’s Message”), which will be part of the Book-Entry Confirmation, stating DTC has received an express acknowledgment that the applicable DTC participant has received, and agrees to be bound by the terms of, the exchange offer contained in this prospectus and the letter of transmittal, and that Lennar may enforce that agreement against the participant; and

  

(3)     Any other documents required by the letter of transmittal.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures    Eligible holders of Series A Notes who wish to tender their Series A Notes, but who cannot complete the procedures for book-entry transfer of Series A Notes or deliver a letter of transmittal or an Agent’s Message or any other documents required by the letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent before the exchange offer expires may tender their Series A Notes using the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the letter of transmittal.

Table of Contents
Acceptance of Series A Notes and Delivery of Series B Notes    Unless we are advised that it would, or might, be unlawful for us to do so, we will accept any and all Series A Notes that are properly tendered in response to the exchange offer and not properly withdrawn before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. The Series B Notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer will be delivered promptly after acceptance of the Series A Notes.
Withdrawal Rights    Tenders of Series A Notes may be withdrawn at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences    For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the exchange of Series A Notes for Series B Notes should not be considered a sale or exchange or otherwise be a taxable event to the holders of the Series A Notes. See “The Exchange Offer—Material Federal Income Tax Consequences.” You should consult with your tax advisor regarding your particular situation.
The Exchange Agent    The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. is the exchange agent. The address and telephone number of the exchange agent are set forth under the caption “The Exchange Offer—Exchange Agent” in this prospectus.
Fees and Expenses    We will bear the expense of soliciting tenders, through the exchange offer. Except as described in the Letter of Transmittal, we will also pay any transfer taxes that are applicable to the exchange of Series A Notes for Series B Notes pursuant to the exchange offer.
Resales of the Series B Notes    Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that a person who receives Series B Notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer (other than (1) a broker-dealer who purchased the Series A Notes it is exchanging directly from us for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; or (2) a person that is an affiliate of ours, as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), may sell the Series B Notes without registration or the need to deliver a prospectus under the Securities Act, provided that person has no arrangement to participate in a distribution of the Series B Notes. Each broker-dealer that receives Series B Notes for its own account in exchange for Series A Notes that were acquired by the broker as a result of market-making or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the Series B Notes.
   Each person who acquires Series B Notes in exchange for Series A Notes in the exchange offer will acknowledge the following:
  

•       The Series B Notes are being acquired in the ordinary course of business of the holder and any beneficial owner thereof;

  

•       The person does not have an arrangement or understanding with any other person to participate in the distribution of the Series B Notes;

  

•       The person is not an affiliate of Lennar; and

  

•       The person is not engaged in and does not intend to engage in a distribution of the Series B Notes.

Consequences of Not Exchanging the Series A Notes    If you do not exchange your Series A Notes, the existing restrictions on the transfer of the Series A Notes will continue to apply. Because we anticipate that most holders will elect to exchange their Series A Notes for Series B Notes due to the absence of restrictions on the resale of Series B Notes under the Securities Act, we anticipate that if there is any market for the Series A Notes that remain outstanding after the consummation of the exchange offer, that market will be very limited.

THE SERIES B NOTES

The exchange offer applies to all $400 million aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes that are outstanding. The terms of the Series B Notes are identical in all material respects with those of the Series A Notes, except for certain transfer restrictions and registration rights relating to the Series A Notes. The Series B Notes will evidence the same debt as the Series A Notes for which they are exchanged and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture under which both the Series A Notes were, and the Series B Notes will be, issued.

The summary below describes the principal terms of the Series B Notes. Certain of the terms and conditions described below are subject to limitations and exceptions. The “Description of the Series B Notes” section of this prospectus contains a more detailed description of the terms and conditions of the Series B Notes.

 

Securities Offered    $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Series B 4.75% Senior Notes due 2017.
Maturity Date    December 15, 2017.
Interest Payment Dates    April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2013, payable to holders of record at the close of business on April 1 and October 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding each interest payment date.
Interest Rate    The Series B Notes will bear interest at the rate of 4.75% per year (calculated using a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months).
Sinking Fund    None.
Ranking    The Series B Notes will be our senior, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank equally with all of our other senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is outstanding from time-to-time, senior to any of our future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, and, in effect, junior to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness. The Series B Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future obligations (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries which are not then guaranteeing the Series B Notes. See “Description of the Series B Notes—Guarantees.” See also “Risk Factors—Because the Series B Notes are structurally subordinated to the obligations of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, your ability to be repaid may be adversely affected to the extent particular subsidiaries are not guaranteeing the Series B Notes at a time when you become entitled to repayment” and “—The fact that the Series B Notes are unsecured may increase the possibility that you will not be fully repaid if we become insolvent.”
   As of August 31, 2012, our subsidiaries had $737.8 million of indebtedness, including $584.4 million of secured indebtedness. Of this amount, $468.6 million ($357.7 million of secured indebtedness) was indebtedness of subsidiaries that will not be guaranteeing the Series B Notes when they are issued. As of August 31, 2012, the secured debt of our subsidiaries and the unsecured debt of our non-guarantor subsidiaries equaled $695.4 million in total.
Guarantees    All of our existing and future wholly-owned subsidiaries (other than finance company subsidiaries and foreign subsidiaries) that directly or indirectly guarantee at least $75 million of our parent company indebtedness will guarantee the Series B Notes. To the extent these guarantees are effective when the Series B Notes are issued, or become effective after that, they may subsequently be suspended or released under limited circumstances. When the Series B Notes are issued, they will be guaranteed by all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (other than our finance company subsidiaries, any foreign subsidiaries, our subsidiaries that are involved in owning, financing or managing distressed real estate assets and our subsidiaries that individually have a net worth of $10 million or less and collectively have an aggregate net worth of not more than $50 million). These are the same subsidiaries that currently are guaranteeing our obligations under our principal credit facility and our principal letter of credit facilities. See “Description of the Series B Notes—Guarantees.”

Table of Contents
Redemption at our Option    We may redeem the Series B Notes in whole or in part from time to time. If we redeem Series B Notes more than 90 days prior to their scheduled maturity date, the redemption price will be equal to the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount; or (ii) the present value of the remaining scheduled payments on the Series B Notes being redeemed, discounted to the date of redemption, on a semi-annual basis, at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points (0.50%). If we redeem Series B Notes on or after the date that is 90 days prior to the scheduled maturity date of the Series B Notes, the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Series B Notes. In any redemption, we will also pay accrued and unpaid interest on the Series B Notes being redeemed to the date of redemption. In determining the redemption price and accrued interest, interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
Certain Indenture Provisions    The Indenture governing the Series B Notes contains covenants limiting our and some of our subsidiaries’ ability to create liens securing indebtedness or enter into sale and leaseback transactions. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. See “Description of the Series B Notes—Certain Covenants.”
Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event    If there is a Change of Control Triggering Event, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase all the outstanding Notes at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the repurchase date. See “Description of the Series B Notes—Change of Control Offer.”
Governing Law    State of New York.
DTC Eligibility    The Series B Notes will be issued in fully registered book-entry form and will be represented by permanent global notes. The global notes will be deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the name of a nominee of, The Depository Trust Company (DTC). Beneficial interests in global notes will be shown on, and transfers of Series B Notes will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC and its direct and indirect participants, and an interest in any global note may not be exchanged for certificated notes, except in limited circumstances. See “Book-Entry, Delivery and Settlement.”
Form and Denomination    The Series B Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 and in any integral multiples of $1,000.
Trading    The Series B Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or included in any automated quotation system. The Series B Notes will be new securities for which there is currently no public market.
Risk Factors    Investing in the Series B Notes involves significant risk. Before you exchange your Series A Notes, you should carefully read the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 7 of this prospectus for a description of some of the risks you should particularly consider before exchanging Series A Notes for Series B Notes.
Use of Proceeds    We will receive no proceeds from the exchange of Series A Notes for the Series B Notes pursuant to the exchange offer.

RISK FACTORS

In this section, we describe risks relating to the ownership of Notes (including Series B Notes) or the exchange of Series A Notes for Series B Notes. Investors considering exchanging or acquiring Notes should read the description of risks relating to our business included in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended November 30, 2011 and in our subsequent filings with the SEC. If any of those risks develop into actual events, the exchange offer or our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or properties could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Relating to the Notes

The Notes are subject to the normal risks applicable to debt securities, including the possibility that the obligor will not be able to make required payments when they are due. In addition, the Notes are subject to the following risks:

Because the Notes are structurally subordinated to the obligations of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, your ability to be repaid may be adversely affected to the extent particular subsidiaries are not guaranteeing the Notes at a time when you become entitled to repayment.

Substantially all of our operating assets are held by our subsidiaries. Unless a subsidiary is guaranteeing the Notes as described under “Description of the Series B Notes—Guarantees,” holders of any indebtedness or preferred stock of that subsidiary and other creditors of that subsidiary, including trade creditors, will have claims on the assets of that subsidiary that are prior to the claims of the holders of the Notes. When the Series B Notes are issued, some, but not all, of our subsidiaries will be guaranteeing the Notes, as described under “Description of the Series B Notes—Guarantees.” Accordingly, when the Series B Notes are issued, they will be structurally subordinated to the debts, preferred stock and other obligations of some of our subsidiaries. The indenture governing the Notes does not prohibit any of our subsidiaries from incurring additional liabilities.

As of August 31, 2012, our subsidiaries had $737.8 million of indebtedness, including $584.4 million of secured indebtedness. Of this amount, $468.6 million ($357.7 million of secured indebtedness) was indebtedness of subsidiaries that will not be guaranteeing the Notes when they are issued.

The fact that the Notes are unsecured may increase the possibility that you will not be fully repaid if we become insolvent.

The Series A Notes are not, and the Series B Notes will not be, secured by any of our assets or our subsidiaries’ assets. Therefore, the Series B Notes will, in effect, be junior to our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness.

In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding up, the holders of any secured debt would receive payments from the assets securing that debt before you receive any payments from sales of those assets. There may not be sufficient assets remaining after payment of secured debt to pay all or any of the amounts due on the Notes that are then outstanding. The indenture governing the Notes does not prohibit us from incurring additional senior debt or secured debt, nor does it prohibit any of our subsidiaries from incurring additional liabilities. Under limited circumstances, if we or a Restricted Subsidiary (i.e., an actual or potential guarantor subsidiary) grants a lien securing indebtedness, we or the subsidiary must equally and ratably secure the Series B Notes and, under the indentures relating to our other currently outstanding senior notes, we or the subsidiary must also equally and ratably secure those other senior notes. However, we and our subsidiaries are permitted to incur many types of secured debt without our being required to secure the Notes or our other senior notes. The Series B Notes will be effectively subordinated to that secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing it. See “Description of the Series B Notes—Certain Covenants.”

As of August 31, 2012, we had no secured debt, but our subsidiaries had $584.4 million of secured debt. Accordingly, as of August 31, 2012, the secured debt of our subsidiaries and the unsecured debt of our non-guarantor subsidiaries equaled $695.4 million in total.

Fraudulent conveyance considerations.

Any time the subsidiary guarantees of the Notes are effective, those guarantees, under fraudulent conveyance laws, might be subordinated to existing or future indebtedness incurred by the guarantor subsidiaries, or might not be enforceable, if a court or a creditor’s representative, such as a bankruptcy trustee, concluded that those subsidiaries received less than fair consideration for the guarantees and:

 

   

were rendered insolvent as a result of issuing the guarantees;

 

   

at the time they issued the guarantees, were engaged in a business or transaction for which the subsidiaries’ remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital;

 

   

at the time they issued the guarantees, intended to incur, or believed that we or they would incur, debts beyond our or their ability to pay as those debts matured; or

 

   

at the time they issued the guarantees, intended to hinder, delay or defraud our or their creditors.

Table of Contents

The measure of insolvency varies depending upon the law of the relevant jurisdiction. Generally, however, a company is considered insolvent if its debts are greater than the fair value of its property, or if the fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount that would be needed to pay its probable liabilities as its existing debts matured and became absolute.

Any guarantees provided by our subsidiaries are subject to possible defenses that may limit your right to receive payment from the guarantors with regard to the Notes.

Although guarantees by our wholly-owned subsidiaries, when they are in effect, provide the holders of the Notes with a direct claim against the assets of the guarantors, enforcement of the guarantees against any guarantor would be subject to certain “suretyship” defenses available to guarantors generally. Enforcement could also be subject to other defenses available to the guarantors in certain circumstances. To the extent that the guarantees are not enforceable, you would not be able to assert a claim successfully against the guarantors.

Some of our indebtedness with regard to our existing senior notes will mature prior to the Notes, and contains the same requirement to provide guarantees as the Notes.

At August 31, 2012, we had approximately $3.2 billion outstanding of our 5.95% senior notes due 2013, 5.50% senior notes due 2014, 5.60% senior notes due 2015, 6.50% senior notes due 2016, 4.75% senior notes due 2017, 12.25% senior notes due 2017, 6.95% senior notes due 2018, 2.00% convertible senior notes due 2020, 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2020 and 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2021, and, after August 31, 2012, we issued an additional $350 million outstanding of our 4.750% senior notes due 2022, (collectively, the “Existing Notes”) that rank pari passu with the Notes and contain requirements to provide guarantees on essentially the same terms and conditions as the Notes. Some of the Existing Notes have maturity dates prior to the maturity of the Series B Notes. Accordingly, we will be required to repay or refinance those Existing Notes before the Notes mature. See “Other Indebtedness” and “Use of Proceeds.”

The guarantees of the Notes may be suspended or released.

The principal reason our Restricted Subsidiaries are guaranteeing the Notes is so holders of the Notes will have rights at least as great with regard to our subsidiaries as any other holders of a material amount of unsecured senior debt of Lennar as a separate entity. Therefore, the guarantee of the Notes by a Restricted Subsidiary will be in effect only while that Restricted Subsidiary directly or indirectly guarantees a material amount of the debt of Lennar, as a separate entity, to others. At present, most of our homebuilding subsidiaries and some of our other subsidiaries are guaranteeing our obligations under our principal credit facility and our principal letter of credit facilities (see “Other Indebtedness”) and therefore are guaranteeing Notes and the Existing Notes.

Our subsidiaries may not be guaranteeing Lennar debt at all times when Notes are outstanding. The guarantee of the Notes by a Restricted Subsidiary will be suspended if, at any time, and for so long as, that Restricted Subsidiary does not directly or indirectly guarantee at least $75 million principal amount of Lennar’s debt (other than the Existing Notes, the Notes and any other indebtedness that contains similar guarantee suspension provisions). Therefore, if a Restricted Subsidiary ceases to guarantee directly or indirectly at least $75 million of Lennar’s debt obligations, that Restricted Subsidiary’s guarantee of the Notes will be suspended until such time, if any, as it is again directly or indirectly guaranteeing at least $75 million of Lennar’s debt obligations. If our Restricted Subsidiaries guarantee Lennar revolving credit lines totaling at least $75 million, we will treat the guarantees of the Notes as remaining in effect even during periods when our borrowings under the revolving credit lines are less than $75 million.

Under the circumstances described under “Description of Series B Notes—Guarantees,” a guarantor may be released entirely from its obligations to guarantee the Notes and the Existing Notes.

We may incur substantially more debt or take other actions which would intensify the risks discussed above.

We and our subsidiaries have the right to incur additional debt in the future, subject to any restrictions contained in any of our debt instruments other than the Notes, some or all of which could be secured debt. We are not restricted under the terms of the indenture governing the Notes from incurring additional secured or unsecured debt, recapitalizing our debt or taking a number of other actions that could have the effect of diminishing our ability to make payments on the Notes when they are due.

Some significant restructuring transactions may not constitute a fundamental change, in which case we would not be obligated to offer to repurchase the Notes.

If a fundamental change occurs, you will have the right to require us to repurchase your Notes. However, the fundamental change provisions will not afford protection to holders of Notes in the event of some transactions that could adversely affect the Series B Notes. For example, transactions such as leveraged recapitalizations, refinancings, restructurings, or acquisitions initiated by us may not constitute a fundamental change requiring us to offer to repurchase the Notes. In the event of any such transaction, the holders would not have the right to require us to repurchase their Notes, even though each of those transactions could increase the amount of our indebtedness, or otherwise adversely affect our capital structure or any credit ratings, thereby adversely affecting the holders of Notes.

Table of Contents

There is no public market for the Series B Notes, so you may be unable to sell the Series B Notes.

The Series B Notes are new securities for which there is currently no public trading market. Consequently, the Series B Notes may be relatively illiquid, and you may be unable to sell your Series B Notes. We do not intend to list the Series B Notes on any securities exchange or to include the Series B Notes in any automated quotation system. We have been informed by the initial purchasers that (1) they have been making a market in the Series A Notes and (2) they intend to make a market in the Series B Notes, and cease making a market in the Series A Notes, after the exchange offer is completed. However, the initial purchasers may cease their market making at any time without notice. Further, those market making activities will be subject to limits imposed by the U.S. federal securities laws. In addition, the liquidity of the trading market in the Series B Notes, and the market price quoted for the Series B Notes, may be adversely affected by changes in the overall market for this type of security and by changes in our financial performance or prospects or in the prospects for companies in our industry generally. As a result, we cannot assure you that an active trading market will develop for the Series B Notes. If any of the Series B Notes are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price and you may be unable to resell your Series B Notes or may be able to sell them only at a substantial discount. Future trading prices of the Series B Notes will depend on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, general economic conditions and our financial condition, performance and prospects.

Any adverse rating of the Notes may cause their trading price to fall.

The Series A Notes are not rated and it is not expected that the Series B Notes will be rated. However, if a rating service were to rate the Notes and subsequently, if that rating service were to lower its rating on the Notes below the rating it initially assigns to the Notes or were to announce its intention to put the Notes on credit watch, the trading price of the Series B Notes could decline.

The Notes are not protected by restrictive covenants.

The indenture governing the Notes does not contain any financial or operating covenants or restrictions on the payment of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us or any of our subsidiaries. The indenture contains no covenants or other provisions to afford protection to holders of the Notes in the event of a fundamental change or other corporate transaction involving us except to the extent described under “Description of the Series B Notes—Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets” or “Description of the Series B Notes—Change of Control Offer.”

We may not be able to raise the funds necessary to finance the change of control offer required by the indenture governing the Notes, which would violate the terms of the Notes.

Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase all the outstanding Notes at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the repurchase date. To the extent that we are required to offer to repurchase the Notes upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, we will have a similar obligation with regard to the Existing Notes and any other senior notes with similar provisions, and we may not have sufficient funds to repurchase the Notes and the Existing Notes for cash at that time. In addition, our ability to repurchase the Notes or other of our senior notes for cash may be limited by law or the terms of agreements relating to other of our indebtedness that is outstanding at the time. The failure to make a required repurchase of the Notes would result in a default under the indenture governing the Notes. A default under the indenture, or the Change of Control itself, could also lead to a default under the other debt securities we have issued or could cause borrowings we have incurred to become due. If the repayment of a substantial amount of indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace period, we might not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness and repurchase the Notes, the Existing Notes or other senior notes containing similar provisions. See “Description of Series B Notes—Change of Control Offer.”

There could be negative consequences to you if you do not exchange your Series A Notes for Series B Notes.

Holders who fail to exchange their Series A Notes for Series B Notes will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer of the Series A Notes. Any Series A Notes tendered and exchanged in the exchange offer will reduce the aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes outstanding. Because we anticipate that most holders will elect to exchange the Series A Notes for Series B Notes due to the absence of restrictions on the resale of Series B Notes under the Securities Act, we anticipate that the market for Series A Notes that remain outstanding after the consummation of the exchange offer, if any, will be substantially limited. As a result of making the exchange offer, we will have fulfilled our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement relating to the Series A Notes. Following the consummation of the exchange offer, holders who did not tender their Series A Notes generally will not have any further registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, and the Series A Notes that are not exchanged will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer.

(1) For the purpose of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, “earnings” consist of income before income taxes plus “fixed charges” and certain other adjustments. “Fixed charges” consist of interest incurred on all indebtedness (including amortization of original issue discount) and the implied interest component of our rent obligations.
(2) For the years ended November 30, 2009, November 30, 2008 and November 30, 2007, we had earnings to fixed charges deficiencies of $651.7 million, $503.3 million and $2,628.2 million, respectively.

There was no preferred stock outstanding for any of the periods shown above. Accordingly, the ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends were identical to the ratios of earnings to fixed charges.

USE OF PROCEEDS

A portion of the net proceeds we received from the issuance of the Series A Notes was used to purchase our 5.95% senior notes due 2013 that were tendered in response to a tender offer that ran from July 17, 2012 to August 14, 2012. We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange of the Series B Notes for the Series A Notes pursuant to the exchange offer.

ABSENCE OF PUBLIC MARKET

The Series B Notes will be new securities for which there is no established trading market. We currently do not intend to list the Series B Notes on any securities exchange or to arrange for the Series B Notes to be quoted on any quotation system. Accordingly, it is not likely that an active trading market for the Series B Notes will develop or that any market that does develop will provide significant liquidity to holders of Series B Notes.

OTHER INDEBTEDNESS

Our indebtedness at August 31, 2012 is listed in the table in the section of this prospectus captioned “Capitalization.” None of that indebtedness, other than as described in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in it, has any covenants that restrict our, or our subsidiaries’, ability to make payments on outstanding indebtedness or to pay dividends, or requires us to maintain financial attributes. All of our Existing Notes have covenants, similar to those in the indenture governing the Notes, that limit our, or our subsidiaries’, ability to create liens securing indebtedness or enter into sale and leaseback transactions. We believe we were in compliance with our debt covenants as of August 31, 2012.

Since August 31, 2012, we sold $350 million principal amount of our 4.750% senior notes due 2022.

On May 2, 2012, we entered into a credit agreement (referred to in this prospectus as the “Credit Agreement”) with lenders for which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is the sole bookrunner and arranger. Under the Credit Agreement, as of August 31, 2012, we may borrow, on a revolving basis, up to $440 million, which we may in the future expand to $525 million, subject to obtaining lender commitments for the additional $85 million and certain other conditions. Subsequent to August 31, 2012, the committed amount under the Credit Facility was increased to $500 million. Lennar’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the same subsidiaries that will be guaranteeing the Series B Notes.

At August 31, 2012, Lennar had $301.5 million of letters of credit outstanding. They were issued under letter of credit facilities which, at the date of this prospectus, collectively provide commitments for an aggregate of up to $400 million of letters of credit, which can be expanded to $500 million, as well as under individual letter of credit arrangements.

REGULATORY APPROVALS

Except for the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under them, no federal or state regulatory requirements must be complied with and no federal or state regulatory approvals must be obtained in connection with the exchange offer.

Net earnings (loss) attributable to Lennar for the year ended November 30, 2009 primarily include a partial reversal of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $351.8 million, primarily due to a change in tax legislation, which allowed us to carryback our fiscal year 2009 tax loss to recover previously paid income taxes. Net earnings (loss) attributable to Lennar for the year ended November 30, 2008 include a $730.8 million valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose of the Exchange Offer

A Registration Rights Agreement between us and the initial purchasers of the Series A Notes requires that on or before November 17, 2012, we must, at our expense and for the benefit of the holders of Series A Notes, file a registration statement with respect to a registered offer to exchange Series B Notes for identical principal amounts of the Series A Notes, and that we must use our reasonable best efforts to (1) cause that registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act on or before December 17, 2012 and (2) complete the exchange offer on or before January 16, 2013. If we fail to meet any of those targets, the interest rate on the Series A Notes will increase until we cure the default.

Terms of the Exchange Offer

On the terms set forth in this prospectus and in the accompanying letter of transmittal, we are offering to issue Series B Notes in exchange for all Series A Notes that are validly tendered and not withdrawn before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. The principal amount of the Series B Notes issued in the exchange will be the same as the principal amount of the Series A Notes for which the Series B Notes are exchanged. Holders may tender some or all of their Series A Notes in response to the exchange offer. However, Series A Notes may be tendered only in multiples of $1,000 principal amount.

The form and terms of the Series B Notes will be the same in all material respects as the form and terms of the Series A Notes (except that the Series B Notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions). The Series B Notes will be guaranteed by the same guarantors as the Series A Notes, if any.

We will be deemed to accept all the Series A Notes that are validly tendered and not withdrawn when we give oral or written notice to that effect to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purpose of receiving Series B Notes from us. If any tendered Series A Notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender or otherwise, those Series A Notes will be returned, without expense, to the tendering holder promptly after the expiration date.

Holders who tender Series A Notes in response to the exchange offer will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, except as described in the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain taxes described below, in connection with the exchange offer.

A holder who validly withdraws previously tendered Series A Notes will not receive Series B Notes unless the Series A Notes are re-tendered before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. Holders will have the right to withdraw previously tendered Series A Notes until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the expiration date, unless the Series A Notes have already been accepted for exchange.

Interest on each Series B Note will accrue from the later of (1) the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Series A Note that was surrendered, or (2) if the Series A Note is surrendered for exchange on a date between the record date for an interest payment and that interest payment date, the interest payment date.

Expiration Date; Extension; Termination

The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 15, 2013, which will be the expiration date, unless we extend the exchange offer by notice to the exchange agent. We reserve the right to extend the exchange offer at our discretion. If we extend the exchange offer, the term “expiration date” will mean the date on which the exchange offer as extended will expire. We will notify the exchange agent of any extension by oral or written notice and we will make a public announcement of any extension not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day after the previously scheduled expiration date. Immediately after the expiration date, we will accept all Series A Notes that have been properly tendered and not withdrawn.

Procedures for Tendering Notes

Any holder of Series A Notes may tender Series A Notes in response to the exchange offer. To tender Series A Notes, the holder must deliver to the exchange agent, before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date:

 

   

A Book-Entry Confirmation from DTC that the Series A Notes have been delivered by book-entry transfer to the account of the exchange agent with DTC; and

 

   

Either

 

   

a letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of one, that has been completed and executed in accordance with the instructions contained in the section of this prospectus titled “— Procedures for Tendering Notes” and in the letter of transmittal, or

 

   

an Agent’s Message, which will be part of the Book-Entry Confirmation, stating the DTC has received an express acknowledgment that the applicable DTC participant has received and agrees to be bound by the exchange offer terms contained in this prospectus and the letter of transmittal, and that Lennar may enforce that agreement against the participant; and

 

   

Any other documents required by the letter of transmittal.

Table of Contents

Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s Book-Entry Transfer Facility System may make book-entry delivery of Series A Notes by causing DTC to transfer the Series A Notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC in accordance with DTC’s transfer procedure. Because the only outstanding Series A Notes are Global Notes held by DTC, all tenders of Series A Notes must be made in that manner. Even though delivery of Series A Notes is effected through book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal, with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, must be transmitted to and received or confirmed by the exchange agent at its address or facsimile number as set forth under the caption “— Exchange Agent” below before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. DTC participants may, in lieu of physically completing and delivering a letter of transmittal, electronically transmit their acceptance through ATOP. DTC will then verify the acceptance and send an Agent’s Message to the exchange agent regarding the acceptance. Delivery of a document to DTC does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.

A tender of Series A Notes by a holder will constitute an agreement by the holder to transfer the Series A Notes to us in exchange for Series B Notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, subject to the withdrawal rights described under “—Withdrawal of Tenders.”

The method of delivering the letter of transmittal (if one is being delivered) and any other required documents to the exchange agent is at the election and risk of the holder. It is recommended that holders use overnight or hand delivery services. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure delivery to the exchange agent before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. No letter of transmittal or Series A Notes should be sent to us. Holders may ask their brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or nominees to assist them in effecting tenders.

Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by an eligible institution unless the Series A Notes are being tendered for the account of an eligible institution. An eligible institution is a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity which is a member in good standing of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program.

If a letter of transmittal or any bond powers or other assignment documents are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, they should so indicate when signing, and we may require that evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to sign be submitted with the letter of transmittal.

All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Series A Notes will be determined by us in our sole discretion, and that determination will be final and binding. We reserve the right to reject any Series A Notes which are not properly tendered or the acceptance of which we believe might be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular Series A Notes, without being required to waive the same defects, irregularities or conditions as to other Series A Notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer (including the instructions in the letter of transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Series A Notes must be cured by the expiration date, or by such later time as we may determine. Although we intend to ask the exchange agent to notify holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Series A Notes, neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of Series A Notes will not be deemed to have been made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Series A Notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the exchange agent to the tendering holders, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, promptly after the expiration date.

We have the right (subject to limitations contained in the Indenture) (1) to purchase or make offers for any Series A Notes that remain outstanding after the expiration date and (2) to the extent permitted by applicable law, to purchase Series A Notes in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The terms of any such purchases or offers could differ from the terms of the exchange offer.

Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to persons unrelated to us, we believe that a person who receives Series B Notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer (other than (1) a broker-dealer who purchased the Series A Notes directly from us for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or another exemption under the Securities Act or (2) a person that is an affiliate of ours, as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), may resell the Series B Notes without registration or the need to deliver a prospectus under the Securities Act, provided that the person acquires the Series B Notes in the ordinary course of the person’s business and the person has no arrangement to participate in a distribution of the Series B Notes. If a person were to acquire Series B Notes through the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of them, that person would probably be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with a sale of Series B Notes.

 

14


Table of Contents

Each person who acquires Series B Notes in exchange for Series A Notes in the exchange offer will acknowledge that (1) the Series B Notes are being acquired in the ordinary course of business of the holder and any beneficial owner thereof; (2) the person does not have an arrangement or understanding with any other person to participate in the distribution of the Series B Notes; (3) the person is not an affiliate of Lennar; and (4) the person is not engaged in and does not intend to engage in a distribution of the Series B Notes.

If the holder is a broker-dealer that will receive Series B Notes for its own account in exchange for Series A Notes that were acquired as result of market-making activities or other trading activities, the holder will, by tendering, acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of those Series B Notes.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

Holders who wish to tender their Series A Notes and (1) whose Series A Notes are not immediately available, or (2) who cannot deliver their Series A Notes or any other required documents to the exchange agent or cannot complete the procedure for book-entry transfer prior to the expiration date, may effect a tender if:

(a) The tender is made through an eligible institution;

(b) Before the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from the eligible institution a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery (by facsimile transmission, mail or hand) setting forth the name and address of the eligible holder, and the principal amount of Series A Notes tendered, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal (or a facsimile of one), stating that the tender is being made by that notice of guaranteed delivery and guaranteeing that, within three business days after the expiration date, confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal will be delivered to the exchange agent; and

(c) Confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal are received by the exchange agent within three business days after the expiration date.

Upon request to the exchange agent, a form of notice of guaranteed delivery will be sent to any holder who may wish to use the guaranteed delivery procedures described above.

Withdrawal of Tenders

Except as otherwise described below, holders will have the right to withdraw previously tendered Series A Notes until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the expiration date.

To withdraw a tender of Series A Notes, a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be received by the exchange agent before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. Any notice of withdrawal must (i) specify the name of the person who tendered the Series A Notes to be withdrawn, (ii) identify the Series A Notes to be withdrawn (including the principal amounts of the Series A Notes), (iii) be signed by the tendering noteholder in the same manner as the signature on the letter of transmittal by which the Series A Notes were tendered (including any required signature guarantees) or be accompanied by documents of transfer sufficient to effect a transfer of the Series A Notes into the name of the person who withdraws the tender, and (iv) specify the name in which the withdrawn Series A Notes are to be registered, if different from that of the tendering noteholder. All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of withdrawal notices will be determined by us in our sole discretion, and that determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any Series A Notes that are withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the exchange offer, and no Series B Notes will be issued with respect to those withdrawn Series A Notes, unless they are validly re-tendered. Properly withdrawn Series A Notes may be re-tendered at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. Any Series A Notes that have been tendered but that are not accepted for exchange or that are withdrawn will be returned to the holder without cost to the holder promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer.

Fees and Expenses

We will bear the expenses of soliciting tenders in the exchange offer. The principal solicitation of tenders is being made through DTC. However, solicitations also may be made by mail, facsimile, telephone or in person by officers and regular employees of ours and our affiliates.

We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or others for soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. We will, however, pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and reimburse it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the exchange offer. We may also reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses they incur in forwarding copies of this prospectus, letters of transmittal and related documents to the beneficial owners of Series A Notes and in

handling or forwarding tenders for exchange. We will pay the other expenses incurred in connection with the exchange offer, including fees and expenses of the trustee, accounting and legal fees and printing costs. We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of Series A Notes for Series B Notes pursuant to the exchange offer. If, however, Series B Notes or Series A Notes that are not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be issued in the name of a person other than the registered holder, or if tendered Series A Notes are registered in the name of a person other than the person who signs the letter of transmittal, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any other reason, other than by reason of the exchange of Series A Notes for Series B Notes pursuant to the exchange offer, the tendering holder must pay the transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or on any other person). Unless satisfactory evidence of payment of transfer taxes or exemption from the need to pay them is submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of the transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering holder. We may refuse to issue Series B Notes in exchange for Series A Notes, or to return Series A Notes that are not exchanged, until we receive evidence satisfactory to us that any transfer taxes payable by the holder have been paid.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences

Important Notice:

The discussion that follows is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used by any person, for the purpose of avoiding United States Federal tax penalties, and was written in connection with this offer to exchange Series B Notes for Series A Notes. You should seek tax advice from an independent tax advisor based on your particular circumstances.

The exchange of the Series B Notes for Series A Notes in the exchange offer will be treated as a “non-event” for United States Federal income tax purposes because the Series B Notes will not be considered to differ materially in kind or extent from the Series A Notes. Consequently, (1) no gain or loss should be realized by a U.S. Holder upon receipt of a Series B Note; (2) the holding period of the Series B Note should include the holding period of the Series A Note for which it is exchanged; and (3) the adjusted tax basis of the Series B Note should be the same as the adjusted tax basis immediately before the exchange of the Series A Note for which it is exchanged. Even if the exchange of a Series A Note for a Series B Note were treated as an exchange, the exchange should constitute a tax-free recapitalization for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a Series B Note should have the same issue price as the Series A Note for which it is exchanged and a U.S. Holder should have the same adjusted basis and holding period in the Series B Note as it had in the Series A Note immediately before the exchange. A “U.S. Holder” means a person who is, for United States federal income tax purposes, (1) a citizen or resident of the United States; (2) a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision of the United States; or (3) an estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source.

Accounting Treatment

The Series B Notes will be recorded in our accounting records at the same carrying value as the Series A Notes for which they are exchanged. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes as a result of the exchange offer.

Exchange Agent

The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. has been appointed as exchange agent for the exchange offer. All correspondence in connection with the exchange offer or the letter of transmittal should be addressed to the exchange agent, as follows:

DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES B NOTES

We issued the Series A Notes, and we will issue the Series B Notes, under an indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of July 20, 2012 among us, the subsidiary guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Indenture is subject to, and governed by, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”). Any Series A Notes that remain outstanding after the completion of the exchange offer will be treated under the Indenture as part of a single class of securities consisting of the Series B Notes and the remaining Series A Notes.

We have summarized in this section the principal terms of the Series B Notes and the Indenture under which they were issued. You should read the Indenture and the Series B Notes for additional information, because those documents define your rights as a holder of Notes. You may request copies of these documents at our address shown under the caption “Incorporation by Reference” elsewhere in this prospectus.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this section have the meanings specified in the Indenture. For purposes of this “Description of the Series B Notes,” “we,” “our” or “us” refers to Lennar Corporation and does not include our subsidiaries, except in references to financial data determined on a consolidated basis. Except where the context otherwise requires, references to “interest” include any “Additional Interest” that may accrue.

General

The Series B Notes will be our direct, unsecured obligations and will rank equal in right of payment by us with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding. The Series B Notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples of that amount and will be payable, and may be presented for registration of transfer and exchange, without service charge, at the Trustee’s office in Jacksonville, Florida.

The Series B Notes are limited in aggregate principal amount to $400 million, but we may, without consent of the Holders, “reopen” the Notes and issue additional Series B Notes at any time on the same terms and conditions and with the same CUSIP number as the Series B Notes we offer by this prospectus. The Series B Notes will mature on December 15, 2017. Interest on the Series B Notes will accrue at 4.75% per annum and will be payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2013. Interest will also be payable with regard to the Series B Notes on their maturity date. If any interest payment date, maturity date or redemption date is not a Business Day, then the interest payment will be postponed until the first following Business Day and no additional interest will accrue.

“Business Day” means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday which is not a legal holiday in New York, New York.

We will pay interest to the persons in whose names the Series B Notes are registered at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1, as applicable, before the interest payment date; provided that the interest payable at the maturity date or on a redemption date will be paid to the person to whom principal is payable.

Interest on the Series B Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the date of issuance. There is no sinking fund applicable to the Series B Notes.

In connection with the Series B Notes, we have not agreed to any financial covenants or any restrictions on the payment of dividends or the issuance or repurchase of our securities. We have agreed to no covenants or other provisions to protect Holders (as defined below) of the Series B Notes in the event of a highly leveraged transaction

Redemption at Our Option

We may, at our option, redeem the Series B Notes as part of a redemption of the Notes in whole or in part at any time and from time to time. If we redeem Series B Notes more than 90 days prior to their scheduled maturity date, the redemption price will be equal to the greater of:

 

   

100% of their principal amount; or

 

   

the present value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) on the Series B Notes being redeemed, discounted to the date of the redemption, on a semi-annual basis, at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points (0.50%).

If we redeem Series B Notes on or after the date that is 90 days prior to the scheduled maturity date of the Series B Notes, the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Series B Notes.

In any redemption, we will also pay accrued interest on the Series B Notes being redeemed to the date of redemption. In determining the redemption price and accrued interest, interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

Table of Contents

Any redemption will be on at least 30, but not more than 60, days’ prior notice.

If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Series B Notes to be redeemed is deposited with the Trustee on or before the redemption date, beginning on the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Series B Notes (or the portion of them) called for redemption and those Series B Notes will cease to be outstanding.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Reference Treasury Dealer as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Series B Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Series B Notes.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third business day preceding such redemption date, as set forth in the daily statistical release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated “Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities” or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain such price on such business day, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (A) each of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and UBS Securities LLC (or its affiliate that is a Primary Treasury Dealer); provided, however, that if any of them shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), we will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (B) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by us.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to any Note, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal (or the portion of the principal) that is to be redeemed and interest thereon that would be due after the related redemption date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to such Note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

The Guarantees

Each guarantor Subsidiary will, in the circumstances described below (but only in those circumstances), unconditionally guarantee all of our obligations under the Notes, including our obligations to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Notes. The guarantees will be general unsecured obligations of the guarantors and will rank pari passu with all existing and future unsecured indebtedness of the guarantors that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the guarantees or to other senior indebtedness of the guarantors. The obligations of each guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount which, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other guarantor under its guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under the Indenture, will result in the obligations of such guarantor under its guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. Each guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a guarantee will be entitled to a contribution from each other guarantor in an amount pro rata, based on the net assets of each guarantor, determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.

The Indenture requires that, except as described below, each of our existing and future wholly-owned (i.e., directly or indirectly 100% owned) Subsidiaries (other than any foreign Subsidiary and any finance company Subsidiary) guarantee the Notes if that Subsidiary guarantees any of our (i.e., Lennar Corporation’s) Indebtedness or guarantees the obligations of any Restricted Subsidiary as a guarantor of our (i.e., Lennar Corporation’s) Indebtedness (each such Subsidiary, a “guarantor”). At the date of this prospectus, all of our wholly-owned Subsidiaries (other than our finance company Subsidiaries, our Subsidiaries that are involved in owning, financing or managing distressed real estate assets (i.e., the Subsidiaries in our Rialto segment) and our Subsidiaries that individually have a net worth of $10 million or less and collectively have an aggregate net worth of not more than $50 million) are guaranteeing the Credit Agreement and at least one of our letter of credit facilities (see “Other Indebtedness”) and therefore will be guaranteeing the Series B Notes when they are issued. While any of our wholly owned Subsidiaries is guaranteeing the Notes, its guarantee will be full and unconditional, and joint and several with the

 

18


Table of Contents

guarantees by all the other of our wholly owned Subsidiaries that are guaranteeing the Notes, subject to limitations intended to prevent the guarantees from constituting fraudulent conveyances or fraudulent transfers under federal or state law.

Any guarantee of the Notes by a Restricted Subsidiary will be suspended, and that Restricted Subsidiary will not be a guarantor (but will remain a Restricted Subsidiary) and will not have any obligations with regard to the Notes, during any period when the principal amount of our (i.e., Lennar Corporation’s) obligations or of any Restricted Subsidiary’s obligations as a guarantor of our (i.e., Lennar Corporation’s) obligations, in each case other than the Notes and any other Indebtedness containing provisions similar to this, that the Restricted Subsidiary is guaranteeing totals less than $75 million. Additionally, if any guarantor is released from its guarantee (rather than a suspension of its guarantee) of the outstanding Indebtedness of us or any other Restricted Subsidiary, that guarantor will automatically be released from its obligations as guarantor under the Indenture, and from and after the date of that release, that guarantor will cease to constitute a guarantor of the Notes and will not be a Restricted Subsidiary.

The Indenture provides that if all or substantially all of the assets of any guarantor or all of the capital stock of any guarantor is sold (including by consolidation, merger, issuance or otherwise) or disposed of (including by liquidation, dissolution or otherwise) by us or any of our Subsidiaries, then that guarantor or the Person acquiring those assets (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the guarantor) will be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all of its obligations under the Indenture without any further action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes.

Change of Control Offer

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless we have exercised our option to redeem the Notes by notifying the noteholders to that effect as described above, we will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or integral multiples of that amount) of that holder’s Notes on the terms set forth in the Notes. In a Change of Control Offer, we will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes that are repurchased to the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at our option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice will be mailed to holders of the Notes, describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date that notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice will, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the applicable Change of Control Payment Date.

On each Change of Control Payment Date, we will, to the extent lawful:

 

   

accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes that are properly tendered in response to the Change of Control Offer;

 

   

deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes that are properly tendered; and

 

   

deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes that are properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased and that all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture to the Change of Control Offer and to the repurchase by us of Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer have been complied with.

We will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by us and the third party repurchases all the Notes that are properly tendered and not withdrawn in response to its offer.

To the extent that we are required to offer to repurchase the Notes upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, we will have a similar obligation with regard to the Existing Notes. We may not have sufficient funds at that time to repurchase for cash all the Notes and the Existing Notes that are tendered. In addition, our ability to repurchase the Notes or the Existing Notes for cash may be limited by law or the terms of other agreements relating to our indebtedness that is outstanding at the time. The failure to make a required repurchase of the Notes or of Existing Notes would result in a default under the Notes.

We will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations under it to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, we will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached our obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of taking or not taking an action in order to comply with those securities laws and regulations.

 

19


Table of Contents

For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the following terms will be applicable:

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person, other than to us or one of our subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any person becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of our outstanding Voting Stock or other Voting Stock into which our Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; (3) we consolidate with, or merge with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, us, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of our outstanding Voting Stock or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of our Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; (4) the first day on which a majority of the members of our board of directors are not Continuing Directors; or (5) the adoption of a plan relating to our liquidation or dissolution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction (or series of related transactions) will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause (2) above if, either:

(i) (A) we become a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (B)(1) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of our Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (2) the shares of our Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately after giving effect to such transaction; or

(ii) (A) Stuart Miller, together with members of his immediate family, directly or indirectly, becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50%, but less than 66 2/3%, of our outstanding Voting Stock (measured by voting power rather than number of shares) and (B) immediately after such transaction or transactions, our Class A common stock is listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq Global Market.

The term “person,” as used in this definition, has the meaning given to it in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

The definition of “change of control” includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of Notes to require us to repurchase its Notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another person or group may be uncertain.

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Rating Event.

“Continuing Director” means, as of any date of determination, any member of our Board of Directors who (1) was a member of our Board of Directors on the date the Notes were initially issued or (2) was nominated for election, elected or appointed to our Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of our Board of Directors at the time of the nomination, election or appointment (either by a specific vote or by approval of our proxy statement in which that member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection to the nomination).

“Fitch” means Fitch Inc. and its successors.

“Investment Grade Rating” means a rating equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P and BBB- (or the equivalent) by Fitch, and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any replacement rating agency or rating agencies selected by us.

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and its successors.

“Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch; and (2) if any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch ceases to rate the applicable Series B Notes or fails to make a rating of the applicable Series B Notes publicly available for reasons beyond our control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act selected by us (as certified by a resolution of our Board of Directors) as a replacement agency for Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, or all of them, as the case may be.

 

20


Table of Contents

“Rating Event” means the rating on the Notes is lowered by at least two of the three Rating Agencies (and, if there is a split among the three Rating Agencies, by the two Rating Agencies with the lowest ratings) and the Notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by at least two of the three Rating Agencies, in any case on any day during the period (which period will be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies) commencing 60 days prior to the earlier of (i) the first public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or (ii) the first public notice of our intention to effect a Change of Control and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control.

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and its successors.

“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date, the capital stock of that person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of that person.

Certain Covenants

Limitation on Liens. We will not, nor will we permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of our or its properties or assets, whether owned on the date of original issuance of the Notes (“Issue Date”) or thereafter acquired, unless:

 

   

if such Lien secures indebtedness ranking equal in right of payment with the Notes, then the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligation so secured until such time as such obligation is no longer secured by a Lien;

 

   

if such Lien secures Indebtedness which is subordinated to the Notes, then the Notes are secured and the Lien securing such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Lien granted to the Holders of the Notes to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes; or

 

   

such Lien is a Permitted Lien (as defined below).

 

   

The following Liens are “Permitted Liens”:

 

   

Liens on property of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged into or consolidated with or otherwise acquired by us or any Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such Liens were in existence prior to, and were not created in contemplation of, such merger, consolidation or acquisition and do not extend to any assets other than those of the Person merged into or consolidated with us or any Restricted Subsidiary;

Liens incurred in the ordinary course of business to secure performance of obligations with respect to statutory or regulatory requirements, performance or return-of-money bonds, surety bonds or other obligations of a like nature, in each case which are not incurred in connection with the borrowing of money, the obtaining of advances or credit or the payment of the deferred purchase price of property and which do not in the aggregate impair in any material respect the use of property in the operation of our business taken as a whole;

 

   

pledges or deposits under workmen’s compensation laws, unemployment insurance laws or similar legislation, or good faith deposits in connection with bids, tenders, contracts (other than for the payment of indebtedness) or leases to which Lennar or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party, or deposits to secure public or statutory obligations of us or of any Restricted Subsidiary or deposits for the payment of rent, in each case incurred in the ordinary course of business;

 

   

Liens granted to any bank or other institution on the payments to be made to such institution by us or any Subsidiary pursuant to any interest rate swap or similar agreement or foreign currency hedge, exchange or similar agreement designed to provide protection against fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates, respectively, provided that such agreements are entered into in, or are incidental to, the ordinary course of business;

easements, rights-of-way and other similar encumbrances incurred in the ordinary course of business and encumbrances consisting of zoning restrictions, licenses, restrictions on the use of property or minor imperfections in title thereto which, in the aggregate, are not material in amount, and which do not in any case materially detract from our properties that are subject thereto; and

 

   

any extensions, substitutions, modifications, replacements or renewals of the Permitted Liens described above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may, and any Restricted Subsidiary may, create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of our properties or assets without equally and ratably securing the Notes if the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness then outstanding secured by such Lien and all other Liens which are not Permitted Liens, together with the aggregate net sales proceeds from all Sale-Leaseback Transactions which are not Permitted Sale Leaseback Transactions (as defined below), does not exceed 20% of Total Consolidated Stockholders’ Equity.

Sale and Leaseback Transactions. We will not, nor will we permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale-Leaseback Transaction, except for any of the following “Permitted Sale-Leaseback Transactions”:

 

   

a Sale-Leaseback Transaction involving the leasing by us or any Restricted Subsidiary of model homes in our communities;

 

   

a Sale-Leaseback Transaction relating to a property which occurs within 180 days from the date of acquisition of such property by us or a Restricted Subsidiary or the date of the completion of construction or commencement of full operations on such property, whichever is later;

 

   

a Sale-Leaseback Transaction where we, within 365 days after such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, apply or cause to be applied to the retirement of our or any Restricted Subsidiary’s Funded Debt (other than our Funded Debt which by its terms or the terms of the instrument pursuant to which it was issued is subordinate in right of payment to the Series B Notes) proceeds of the sale of such property, but only to the extent of the amount of proceeds so applied;

 

   

a Sale-Leaseback Transaction where we or our Restricted Subsidiaries would, on the effective date of the relevant sale or transfer, be entitled, pursuant to the Indenture, to issue, assume or guarantee Indebtedness secured by a Lien upon the relevant property at least equal in amount to the then present value (discounted at the actual rate of interest of the Sale-Leaseback Transaction) of the obligation for the net rental payments in respect of such Sale-Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes;

 

   

a Sale-Leaseback Transaction (A) between Lennar and a Restricted Subsidiary or (B) between Restricted Subsidiaries, so long as the lessor is Lennar or a wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary; or

 

   

a Sale-Leaseback Transaction which has a lease of no more than three years in length.

 

   

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, we may, and may permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, effect any Sale-Leaseback Transaction involving any real or tangible personal property which is not a Permitted Sale-Leaseback Transaction, provided that the aggregate net sales proceeds from all Sale-Leaseback Transactions which are not Permitted Sale-Leaseback Transactions, together with all Indebtedness secured by Liens which are not Permitted Liens, does not exceed 20% of Total Consolidated Stockholders’ Equity.

Table of Contents

Mergers and Consolidations. We may not consolidate with or merge into, or sell or lease our assets substantially as an entirety to, a Person unless:

 

   

the resulting corporation or the person which acquires or leases our assets (if not us) is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and such corporation (if not us) expressly assumes all our obligations under the Notes and all the covenants in the Indenture; and

 

   

immediately after the transaction, no Event of Default or event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would be an Event of Default, will have occurred and continue.

Compliance Certificate

We must deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate as to the signer’s knowledge of our compliance with all conditions and our covenants in the Indenture. The Officers’ Certificate also must state whether or not the signer knows of any Default or Event of Default. If the signer knows of such a Default or Event of Default, the Officers’ Certificate must describe the Default or Event of Default and the efforts to remedy it. For the purposes of this provision of the Indenture, compliance is determined without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice under the Indenture.

Events of Default; Notice and Waiver

The following will constitute “Events of Default” under the Indenture, subject to any additional limitations and qualifications included in the Indenture:

 

   

our failure to pay any interest on the Notes continuing for 30 days after it was due;

 

   

our failure to pay any principal or redemption price or repurchase price of the Notes when it is due;

 

   

our failure or the failure or any Restricted Subsidiary’s failure to fulfill an obligation to pay Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Indebtedness which is non-recourse to us or any Restricted Subsidiary), which such failure shall have resulted in the acceleration of, or be a failure to pay at final maturity, Indebtedness aggregating more than $50 million;

 

   

our failure to perform any other covenant or warranty in the Indenture, continued for 30 days after written notice as provided in the Indenture;

 

   

final judgments or orders are rendered against us or any Restricted Subsidiary which require the payment by us or any Restricted Subsidiary of an amount (to the extent not covered by insurance) in excess of $50 million and such judgments or orders remain unstayed or unsatisfied for more than 60 days and are not being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; and

 

   

certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to (i) us or (ii) any Significant Subsidiary or group of subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary.

If an Event of Default (other than certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to us or any Significant Subsidiary) has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare the principal amount of the Notes that are then outstanding and interest, if any, accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately. However, if we cure all defaults (except the nonpayment of the principal and interest due on any of the Notes that have become due by acceleration) and certain other conditions in the Indenture are met, with certain exceptions, such declaration may be annulled and past defaults may be waived by the Holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to us or any Significant Subsidiary, the principal amount of the Notes will automatically become and be immediately due and payable.

Within 90 days after a Trust Officer (as defined in the Indenture) has knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or any Event of Default, the Trustee must mail to all Holders notice of all Defaults or Events of Default known to a Trust Officer, unless such Default or Event of Default is cured or waived before the giving of such notice. However, except in the case of a payment default on any of the Notes, the Trustee will be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee of directors and/or officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of any proceedings for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, subject to certain limitations specified in the Indenture.

The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of Notes or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

 

23


Table of Contents

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes may waive any past Defaults under the Indenture, except a Default relating to the non-payment of principal or interest (including additional interest, if any), a Default arising from our failure to redeem or repurchase any Notes when required pursuant to the terms of the Indenture or a Default in respect of any covenant that cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected thereby.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. No Holder of Notes may pursue any remedy under the Indenture, except in the case of a Default due to the non-payment of principal or interest, including additional interest, if any, on the Notes, unless:

 

   

the Holder has given the Trustee written notice of a Default;

 

   

the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

 

   

the Trustee does not receive an inconsistent direction from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes; and

 

   

the Trustee fails to comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and offer of indemnity.

To the extent any Holder or Holders request the Trustee to take any action, the Holder or Holders are required to offer to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against any costs, liability or expense of the Trustee.

The Indenture will require us (i) every year to deliver to the Trustee a statement as to performance of our obligations under the Indenture and as to any Default, and (ii) to deliver to the Trustee prompt notice of any Default.

The Indenture provides that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will be required in the exercise of its powers to use the degree of care that a prudent person would use in the conduct of its own affairs.

Payments of the redemption price, Change of Control repurchase price, principal and interest that are not made when due will accrue interest per annum at the then-applicable interest rate plus one percent from the required payment date.

Discharge of the Indenture

We may satisfy and discharge our obligations under the Indenture with respect to the Notes by delivering to the Trustee for cancellation all the outstanding Notes.

Modifications of the Indenture

With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, we and the Trustee may modify the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or the rights of the Holders of the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder of Notes which is affected, we cannot, among other actions:

 

   

extend the stated maturity of any Note;

 

   

reduce the rate or extend the time for the payment of interest on any Note;

 

   

reduce the principal amount of any Note or the redemption price, or change the time at which or the circumstances under which the Notes may or must be redeemed;

 

   

impair the right of a Holder to receive payment of principal of or interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates of such Notes or to institute suit for the payment of any Note; or

 

   

change the currency in which the Series B Notes are payable.

In addition, without the consent of the Holders of all of the Notes then outstanding, we cannot reduce the percentage of Notes the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment.

We and the Trustee may modify the Indenture without notice to or the consent of any Holder in order to make certain minor changes that do not adversely affect the Holder of the Notes.

Notices

Except as otherwise provided in this “Description of the Series B Notes” or the Indenture, notices to Holders of the Notes will be given by mail to the addresses of Holders of the Notes as they appear in the Notes register; provided that notices given to Holders holding Notes in book-entry form may be given through the facilities of DTC or any successor depository.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders

No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or partner of the Company, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, those obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Unclaimed Money

If money deposited with the Trustee or paying agent for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and paying agent will pay the money back to us upon our written request. However, the Trustee and paying agent have the right to withhold paying the money back to us until they publish (in no event later than five days after we request repayment) in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York, or mail to each registered Holder, a notice stating that the money will be paid back to us if unclaimed after a date no less than 30 days from the publication or mailing. After the Trustee or paying agent pays the money back to us, Holders of Notes entitled to the money must look to us for payment as general creditors, subject to applicable law, and all liability of the Trustee and the paying agent with respect to the money will cease.

Governing Law

The Notes and the Indenture, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to the Indenture or the Notes, will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof).

Form, Denomination, Exchange, Registration and Transfer

Series B Notes (and Series A Notes) will be issued:

 

   

in fully registered form;

 

   

without interest coupons; and

 

   

in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000.

If there are certificated Notes, Holders may present the certificated Notes for registration of transfer and exchange at the office maintained by us for that purpose, which will initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

Global Securities

The Series B Notes will be issued in the form of one or more global securities (“Global Securities”) that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”). Holders will receive interests in the Global Securities. Interests in the Global Securities will be issued only in denominations of $1,000 principal amount or integral multiples of that amount. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for securities in definitive form, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole to a nominee of DTC for such Global Security, or by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC, or by DTC or any such nominee to a successor depositary or a nominee of such successor depositary.

Payment and Paying Agent

We will maintain an office or agent in the United States where we will pay the principal on the Notes, and a Holder may present Notes for registration of transfer or exchange for other denominations, which initially will be an office or agency of the Trustee.

Payments on the Series B Notes represented by the Global Securities will be made to DTC, or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the Global Securities, in immediately available funds.

Book-Entry, Delivery and Settlement

We will issue the Series B Notes in the form of one or more permanent global notes in definitive, fully registered, book-entry form. The global notes will be deposited with or on behalf of DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.

DTC has advised us as follows:

 

   

DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act.

 

25


Table of Contents
   

DTC holds securities for its participating organizations that its participants (collectively, the “participants”) deposit with DTC and facilitates the settlement among participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates.

 

   

Direct participants include securities brokers and dealers, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations.

 

   

DTC is owned by a number of its direct participants and by the NYSE and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

 

   

Access to the DTC system is also available to others, such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies (collectively, the “indirect participants”) that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly.

 

   

The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

   

Persons who are not participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through DTC’s participants or DTC’s indirect participants.

We are providing the following descriptions of the operations and procedures of DTC to the Holders solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of DTC and are subject to change by DTC from time to time. None of us, the initial purchasers or the Trustee takes any responsibility for these operations or procedures, and each Holder is urged to contact DTC or its participants directly to discuss these matters.

We expect that under procedures established by DTC:

 

   

Upon deposit of the global notes with DTC or its custodian, DTC will credit on its internal system the accounts of direct participants designated by the initial purchasers with portions of the principal amounts of the global notes.

 

   

Ownership of the Series B Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee, with respect to interests of direct participants, and the records of direct and indirect participants, with respect to interests of persons other than participants.

Payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global note held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practice as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. The participants will be responsible for those payments. Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC’s rules and will be settled in immediately available funds.

The laws of some jurisdictions require that purchasers of securities take physical delivery of those securities in definitive form. Accordingly, the ability to transfer interests in the Series B Notes represented by a global note to those persons may be limited. In addition, because DTC can act only on behalf of its participants, who in turn act on behalf of persons who hold interests through participants, the ability of a person having an interest in Series B Notes represented by a global note to pledge or transfer those interests to persons or entities that do not participate in DTC’s system, or otherwise to take actions in respect of such interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical definitive security in respect of such interest.

As long as the Series B Notes are represented by one or more global notes, DTC’s nominee will be the Holder of the Series B Notes and therefore will be the only entity that can exercise a right to repayment, repurchase or conversion of the Series B Notes. Notice by participants or indirect participants or by owners of beneficial interests in a global note held through such participants or indirect participants of the exercise of the option to require purchase or conversion of beneficial interests in Series B Notes represented by a global note must be transmitted to DTC in accordance with its procedures on a form required by DTC and provided to participants. In order to ensure that DTC’s nominee will timely exercise a right to purchase or conversion with respect to a particular note, the beneficial owner of such note must instruct the broker or the participant or indirect participant through which it holds an interest in such note to notify DTC of its desire to exercise a right to purchase or conversion. Different firms have cut-off times for accepting instructions from their customers and, accordingly, each beneficial owner should consult the broker or other participant or indirect participant through which it holds an interest in a note in order to ascertain the cut-off time by which such an instruction must be given in order for timely notice to be delivered to DTC. We will not be liable for any delay in delivery of notices of the exercise of the option to elect purchase or conversion.

Series B Notes represented by a global note will be exchangeable for registered certificated securities with the same terms only if: (1) DTC is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or if DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed by us within 90 days; (2) we decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfer through DTC (or any successor depositary); or (3) an Event of Default under the Indenture occurs and is continuing.

Neither we nor the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of Series B Notes by DTC or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of DTC relating to the Series B Notes.

Concerning the Trustee

The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. is the Trustee under the Indenture and will be appointed by us as the initial paying agent, registrar and custodian with regard to the Series B Notes. We may maintain deposit accounts and conduct other banking transactions with the Trustee or its affiliates in the ordinary course of business. The Trustee is the trustee under indentures relating to the Existing Notes in addition to the Series B Notes. The Trustee and its affiliates may from time to time in the future provide banking and other services to us in the ordinary course of their business.

Discharge of the Indenture

We may satisfy and discharge our obligations under the Indenture with respect to the Notes by:

 

   

delivering to the Trustee for cancellation all outstanding Notes; or

 

   

depositing with the Trustee, after all outstanding Notes have become due and payable (or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year), whether at stated maturity or otherwise, cash and/or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay all of the outstanding Notes and paying all other sums payable under the Indenture by us with respect to the Notes.

Upon the deposit of such funds with the Trustee, the Indenture will, with certain limited exceptions, cease to be of further effect with respect to the Notes. The rights that would continue following the deposit of those funds with the Trustee are:

 

   

the remaining rights of registration of transfer, substitution and exchange of the Notes;

 

   

the rights of Holders under the Indenture to receive payments due with respect to the Notes and the other rights, duties and obligations of Holders, as beneficiaries with respect to the amounts, if any, that are deposited with the Trustee; and

 

   

the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee under the Indenture.

However, Funded Debt shall not include:

 

   

any Indebtedness for the payment, redemption or satisfaction of which money (or evidences of indebtedness, if permitted under the instrument creating or evidencing such indebtedness) in the necessary amount shall have been irrevocably deposited in trust with a trustee or proper depositary either on or before the maturity or redemption date thereof;

BOOK ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM

The certificates representing the Series B Notes will be issued in fully registered form. The Series B Notes initially will be represented by a single, permanent global note (a “Global Note”), in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons and will be deposited with the trustee as custodian for DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as DTC’s nominee.

Upon the issuance of a Global Note, DTC or its nominee will credit the accounts of persons holding through it with the respective principal amounts of the Series B Notes represented by such Global Note that are received by such persons in the exchange offer. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be limited to persons that have accounts with DTC (“participants”) or persons that may hold interests through participants. Any person acquiring an interest in a Global Note through an offshore transaction may hold such interest through Clearstream (formerly known as Cedel) or Euroclear. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership interest will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to participants’ interests) and such participants (with respect to the interests of owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note other than participants). The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note.

Payment of principal of and interest on Series B Notes represented by a Global Note will be made in immediately available funds to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole holder of the Series B Notes represented thereby for all purposes under the Indenture. We have been advised by DTC that upon receipt of any payment of principal of or interest on any Global Note, DTC will immediately credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the accounts of participants with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal or face amount of such Global Note as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices as is now the case with securities held for customer accounts registered in “street name” and will be the sole responsibility of such participants.

A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by DTC or a nominee of DTC to a nominee of DTC or to DTC. A Global Note is exchangeable for certificated Series B Notes only if (a) DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for such Global Note or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (b) we in our discretion at any time determine not to have all the Series B Notes represented by such Global Note, or (c) there shall have occurred and be continuing a default or an event of default with respect to the Series B Notes represented by such Global Note. Any Global Note that is exchangeable for certificated Series B Notes pursuant to the preceding sentence will be exchanged for certificated Series B Notes in authorized denominations and registered in such names as DTC or any successor depositary holding such Global Note may direct. Subject to the foregoing, a Global Note is not exchangeable, except for a Global Note of like denomination to be registered in the name of DTC or any successor depositary or its nominee. In the event that a Global Note becomes exchangeable for certificated Series B Notes, (a) certificated Series B Notes will be issued only in fully registered form in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof, (b) payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the certificated Series B Notes will be payable, and the transfer of the certificated Series B Notes will be registerable, at our office or agency maintained for such purposes and (c) no service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the certificated Series B Notes, although we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

So long as DTC or any successor depositary for a Global Note, or any nominee, is the registered owner of such Global Note, DTC or such successor depositary or nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Series B Notes represented by such Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture and the Series B Notes. Except as set forth above, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note will not be entitled to have the Series B Notes represented by such Global Note registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Series B Notes in definitive form and will not be considered to be the owners or holders of any Series B Notes under such Global Note. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely on the procedures of DTC or any successor depositary, and, if such person is not a participant, on

 

29


Table of Contents

the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the Indenture. We understand that under existing industry practices, in the event that we request any action of holders or that an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note desires to give or take any action which a holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture, DTC or any successor depositary would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interest to give or take such action and such participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to give or take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them.

DTC has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of Series B Notes (including the presentation of Series B Notes for exchange) only at the direction of one or more participants to whose accounts the DTC interests in the Global Notes are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of Notes as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the Indenture, DTC will exchange the Global Notes for Certificated Securities, which it will distribute to its participants.

DTC has advised us as follows: DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code and a “Clearing Agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Indirect access to the DTC system is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly (“indirect participants”).

Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among participants of DTC, it is under no obligation to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor the Initial Purchasers will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

SALES OF SERIES B NOTES RECEIVED BY BROKER-DEALERS

A broker-dealer that holds Series A Notes for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities may participate in the exchange offer so long as the broker-dealer has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with us or any of our affiliates to distribute the Series B Notes it will receive as a result of the exchange. A broker-dealer that holds Series A Notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and who receives Series B Notes as a result of exchange for those Series A Notes in the exchange offer may be a statutory underwriter and must therefore deliver a prospectus which meets the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the resale of those Series B Notes.

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Series B Notes by broker-dealers. Series B Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Series B Notes or a combination of those methods of resale, at prices which may or may not be based upon market prices prevailing at the time of the sale. Any such sale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from the selling broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of the Series B Notes. Any broker-dealer that sells Series B Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Series B Notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profits from sale of the Series B Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation. The letter of transmittal states that a broker-dealer will not, by delivering a prospectus, be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

Broker-dealers that receive Series B Notes for their own account in exchange for Series A Notes must acknowledge in the accompanying letter of transmittal or through an agent’s message that they will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the Series B Notes. Broker-dealers that acquired Series A Notes for their own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and who receive Series B Notes in exchange for those Series A Notes in the exchange offer may use this prospectus, as it may be supplemented or amended, in connection with the resale of those Series B Notes.

For a period of one year after the expiration date, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests one . We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of special counsel for the holders of the Series A Notes), other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers, and we will indemnify the holders of the Series A Notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND CONTROL PERSONS

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) empowers us to indemnify, subject to certain limitations, any person in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought or threatened by reason of the fact that the person was a director, officer, employee or agent of ours, or is or was serving as such with respect to another entity at our request. The DGCL also permits us to purchase insurance covering our directors, officers, employees and agents, even if its coverage includes matters for which we could not indemnify our directors or officers. Our bylaws provide for the indemnification by us of each of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission that indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

No dealer, salesperson, or other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations in connection with the offer made by this prospectus other than those contained in it and, if any information or representation not contained in this prospectus is given or made, that information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized by Lennar. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to exchange or the solicitation of an offer to exchange any security other than those to which it relates, nor does it constitute an offer to exchange, or the solicitation of an offer to exchange, to any person in any jurisdiction in which that offer or solicitation is not authorized, or in which the person making the offer or solicitation is not permitted to do so, or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make the offer or solicitation. Neither the delivery of this prospectus nor any exchange as a result of the offer to which it relates will, under any circumstances, imply that there has been no change in the affairs of Lennar since the date of this prospectus or that the information contained in this prospectus is correct as of any time subsequent its date.

Item 22. Undertakings.

 

A. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

  (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however , that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

  (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

  (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

  (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

  (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Table of Contents
C. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a—3 or Rule 14c—3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

 

D. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

E. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

 

F. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
