(“CalAtlantic”), for New Lennar Notes (as defined below) issued by the Company and cash, and the related consent solicitations (the “Consent Solicitations”) made by the Company on behalf of CalAtlantic to adopt certain proposed amendments to the respective indentures governing the CalAtlantic Notes, as described below.

The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations expired as of 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on February 16, 2018. The final settlement of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations took place on February 20, 2018 (the “Settlement Date”).

(i) $485,627,000 aggregate principal amount of CalAtlantic 8.375% Notes due 2018;

A copy of the press release announcing the completion of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full.

In connection with the settlement of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, in exchange for the validly tendered and accepted CalAtlantic Notes, the Company (x) issued (i) $485,626,000 aggregate principal amount of new 8.375% Senior Notes due May 15, 2018 (the “New Lennar 2018 Notes”) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 20, 2018 (the “New Lennar 2018 Notes Indenture), (ii) $267,708,000 aggregate principal amount of new 6.625% Senior Notes due May 1, 2020 (the “New Lennar 2020 Notes”) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 20, 2018 (the “New Lennar 2020 Notes Indenture), (iii) $397,610,000 aggregate principal amount of new 8.375% Senior Notes due January 15, 2021 (the “New Lennar 8.375% 2021 Notes”) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 20, 2018 (the “New Lennar 8.375 2021 Notes Indenture), (iv) $291,965,000 aggregate principal amount of new 6.25% Senior Notes due December 15, 2021 (the “New Lennar 6.25% 2021 Notes”) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 20, 2018 (the “New Lennar 6.25% 2021 Notes Indenture), (v) $240,805,000 aggregate principal amount of new 5.375% Senior Notes due October 1, 2022 (the “New Lennar 2022 Notes”) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 20, 2018 (the “New Lennar 2022 Notes Indenture), (vi) $421,441,000 aggregate principal amount of new 5.875% Senior Notes due November 15, 2024 (the “New Lennar 2024 Notes”) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 20, 2018 (the “New Lennar 2024 Notes Indenture), (vii) $395,535,000 aggregate principal amount of new 5.25% Senior Notes due June 1, 2026 (the “New Lennar 2026 Notes”) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 20, 2018 (the “New Lennar 2026 Notes Indenture) and (viii) $347,343,000 aggregate principal amount of new 5.00% Senior Notes due June 15, 2027 (the “New Lennar 2027 Notes” and, together with the senior notes referred to in clauses (i) through (vii), the “New Lennar Notes”) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 20, 2018 (the “New Lennar 2027 Notes Indenture and, together with the indentures referred to in clauses (i) through (vii), the “New Lennar Indentures) and (y) made a payment of cash in lieu of principal amounts of Lennar notes for principal amounts not in integral multiples of $1,000.
