These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. We wish to caution readers that certain important factors may have affected and could in the future affect our actual results and could cause actual results to differ significantly from what is anticipated by our forward-looking statements. The most important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the negative impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak on our financial position and ability to continue our Homebuilding or Multifamily development activities at normal levels or at all in affected regions; the duration, impact and severity of the COVID-19 outbreak; an extended slowdown in the real estate markets across the nation, including a slowdown in the market for single family homes or the multifamily rental market; increases in operating costs, including costs related to construction materials, labor, real estate taxes and insurance, and our inability to manage our cost structure, both in our Homebuilding and Multifamily businesses; reduced availability of mortgage financing or increased interest rates; our inability to successfully execute our strategies, including our land lighter strategy; changes in general economic and financial conditions that reduce demand for our products and services, lower our profit margins or reduce our access to credit; our inability to acquire land at anticipated prices; the possibility that we will incur nonrecurring costs that affect earnings in one or more reporting periods; decreased demand for our homes or multifamily rental properties; the possibility that the benefit from our increasing use of technology will not justify its cost; increased competition for home sales from other sellers of new and resale homes; our inability to pay down debt; whether government actions or other factors related to COVID-19 force us to delay or terminate our program of repurchasing our stock; a decline in the value of our land inventories and resulting write-downs of the carrying value of our real estate assets; the failure of the participants in various joint ventures to honor their commitments; difficulty obtaining land-use entitlements or construction financing; natural disasters and other unforeseen events for which our insurance does not provide adequate coverage; new laws or regulatory changes that adversely affect the profitability of our businesses; our inability to refinance our debt on terms that are acceptable to us; and changes in accounting conventions that adversely affect our reported earnings.

The list of risks above is not exhaustive. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all risks that might affect our business. Nothing in this prospectus is intended to give assurance regarding our future results or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated in this prospectus, which speaks only as of its date.

Please see our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019 and other filings with the SEC for a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties which could affect our future results. We undertake no obligation, other than those imposed by securities laws, to publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of those statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

None of the indentures relating to Lennar Corporation’s currently outstanding debt securities contains any restrictions on the payment of dividends or the repurchase of our securities or any financial covenants. However, supplemental indentures relating to particular series of debt securities, or future indentures, may contain provisions of that type.

We may issue debt securities at a discount from, or at a premium to, their stated principal amount. A prospectus supplement may describe federal income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to a debt security issued with original issue discount or at a premium.

If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, with regard to any series of debt securities is payable in a foreign currency, then in the prospectus supplement relating to those debt securities, we will describe any restrictions on currency conversions, tax considerations or other material restrictions with respect to that issue of debt securities.

Form of Debt Securities

We may issue debt securities in registered form without coupon, unless otherwise provided in a supplemental indenture relating to a particular issue or series of debt securities.

We may issue debt securities of an issue or a series in the form of one or more global certificates evidencing all or a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of that issue or series. We may deposit the global certificates with depositaries, and the global certificates may be subject to restrictions upon transfer or upon exchange for debt securities in individually certificated form.

Events of Default and Remedies

An event of default with respect to each issue or series of debt securities will include:

5

Supplemental indentures relating to particular issues or series of debt securities may include other events of default.

The current indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of any issue or series of debt securities of any default (except a default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any) if the trustee considers it in the interest of the holders to do so.

The current indenture provides that if any event of default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the issue or series of debt securities then outstanding may declare the principal of and accrued interest, if any, on all the debt securities of that issue or series to be due and payable immediately. However, if we cure all defaults (except the failure to pay principal, premium or interest which became due solely because of the acceleration) and certain other conditions are met, that declaration may be annulled and past defaults may be waived by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the issue or series of debt securities then outstanding.

The holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of an issue or series of debt securities will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting proceedings for any remedy available to the trustee, subject to certain limitations specified in the indenture.

A prospectus supplement will describe any additional or different events of default which apply to any issue or series of debt securities.

Modification of an Indenture

We and the trustee under an indenture may:

However, we may not:

6

Mergers and Other Transactions

The current indenture provides that we may not consolidate with or merge into any other entity, or transfer or lease our properties and assets substantially as an entirety to another person, unless (1) the entity formed by the consolidation or into which we are merged, or which acquires or leases our properties and assets substantially as an entirety, assumes by a supplemental indenture all our obligations with regard to outstanding debt securities and our other covenants under the indenture, and (2) with regard to each issue or series of debt securities, immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no event of default, with respect to that series of debt securities, and no event which would become an event of default, will have occurred and be continuing.

Guarantees

Debt securities may be guaranteed by some or all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Those guarantees may remain in effect for the life of the guaranteed debt securities, or may terminate on the occurrence of specified events or circumstances. The prospectus supplement describing an issue of debt securities that are guaranteed by some or all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries will identify the guarantor subsidiaries, either by name or by category, and will describe the terms of the guarantee, including any conditions to its effectiveness and any events or circumstances under which it will be suspended or terminate.

Concerning the Trustees

The Bank of New York Mellon, the trustee under our current indenture, or its affiliates, provide, and may continue to provide, loans and banking services to us in the ordinary course of their businesses.

Governing Law

Each of our indentures, each supplemental indenture, and the debt securities issued under them will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of New York State.

This gives Mr. Miller substantial influence regarding the election of our directors and the approval of most other matters that are presented to our stockholders. Mr. Miller’s voting power might discourage someone from making a significant equity investment in us, even if we needed the investment to meet our obligations or to operate our business. Also, because of his voting power, Mr. Miller could be able to cause our stockholders to approve actions that are contrary to many of our other stockholders’ desires.

Liquidation Rights

We currently have no outstanding preferred stock or participating preferred stock. While that continues to be the case, if we are liquidated, the holders of our Class A and Class B common stock will be entitled to share equally on a per share basis, without regard to class, in the assets available for distribution after we have satisfied our debts and liabilities.

If we are liquidated at a time when there are outstanding shares of preferred stock, but not of participating preferred stock, the holders of our Class A and Class B common stock will be entitled to share equally on a per share basis, without regard to class, in the assets available for distribution after we have satisfied our debts and liabilities and made any distributions we are required to make with regard to the preferred stock.

If we are liquidated at a time when there are outstanding shares of participating preferred stock, the right of holders of Class A and Class B common stock to receive liquidating dividends will be limited as described under “Description of Participating Preferred Stock.”

Termination of Class Rights and Powers

If at any time (i) the number of outstanding shares of our Class B common stock is less than 10% of the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock taken together, or (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock vote to cause all the Class B common stock to be converted into Class A common stock, the Class B common stock will automatically be converted into, and become for all purposes, shares of Class A common stock, and we will no longer be authorized to issue Class B common stock.

No Other Rights or Restrictions

Under our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws as they currently exist, our common stock is not subject to provisions relating to conversion, sinking funds, redemption, preemption rights, liability to further calls or to assessment, restrictions on alienability or discrimination against any existing or prospective holder as a result of that holder’s owning a substantial amount of our securities. However, our Board of Directors could, without vote of our stockholders, amend our By-Laws or take other action at any time, subject to limitations imposed by Delaware law, to create restrictions on who could own our common stock or that would discriminate against existing or prospective stockholders who own or propose to acquire more than specified percentages of our outstanding common stock.

Holders of shares of preferred stock will not have preemptive rights under our Certificate of Incorporation or under the DGCL, but the terms of particular series of preferred stock, or agreements into which we enter when we sell shares of preferred stock, may give rights that are similar to preemptive rights.

Limit on Stockholder Ability to Request Record Date for Action by Stockholder Consent. In order to be able to request that our Board of Directors fix a record date for the taking of action by written consent, a person must own and have owned for at least one year of record and beneficially at least $2,000 in market value or 1% of our outstanding common stock of both classes combined.

Requirement for Calling of Special Meetings of Stockholders. Special meetings of our stockholders may be called by stockholders only upon the written request of the holders of at least a majority of all the outstanding shares of any class entitled to vote on the action proposed to be taken.

Undesignated Preferred Stock. Our Board of Directors is authorized to cause us to issue, without a stockholder vote, preferred stock, which could entitle holders to voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us.

Board Authority to Amend By-Laws. Our Board of Directors has the authority to adopt, amend or repeal our By-Laws without the approval of our stockholders.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which, subject to limited exceptions, prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an entity controlled by a person who, together with the person’s affiliates and associates, acquires without the prior approval of the corporation’s board of directors more than 15%, but less than 85%, of the corporation’s voting securities (excluding for purposes of calculating the 85% shares owned by officers, directors or certain employee stock plans) until three years after the person, together with the person’s affiliates and associates, became the owner of more than 15% of the corporation’s voting securities, unless the business combination is approved by the affirmative vote of holders of more than 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the person who acquired more than 15% of the corporation’s voting securities or that person’s affiliates or associates.

amount equal to the dividend or other distribution per depositary share the depositary receives. If there is a distribution of property other than cash, the depositary either will distribute the property to the holders of depositary shares in proportion to the depositary shares held by each of them, or the depositary will, if we approve, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds to the holders of the depositary shares in proportion to the depositary shares held by them.

Withdrawal of Preferred Stock. A holder of depositary shares will be entitled to receive, upon surrender of depositary receipts representing depositary shares, the number of shares of the applicable class of common stock or series of preferred stock, and any money or other property, to which the depositary shares relate.

Redemption of Depositary Shares. Whenever we redeem shares of a series of preferred stock held by a depositary, the depositary will be required to redeem, on the same redemption date, depositary shares constituting, in total, the number of shares of that series held by the depositary which we redeem, subject to the depositary’s receiving the redemption price of those shares. If fewer than all the depositary shares relating to a series are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or by another method we determine to be equitable.

Voting. Any time we send a notice of meeting or other materials relating to a meeting to the holders of a class of common stock or a series of preferred stock to which depositary shares relate, we will provide the depositary with sufficient copies of those materials so they can be sent to all holders of record of the applicable depositary shares, and the depositary will send those materials to the holders of record of the depositary shares on the record date for the meeting. The depositary will solicit voting instructions from holders of depositary shares and will vote or not vote the common or preferred stock to which the depositary shares relate in accordance with those instructions.

Liquidating Distributions. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holder of each depositary share will be entitled to what the holder of the depositary share would have received if the holder had owned the number of shares of common stock or of the series of preferred stock which is represented by the depositary share.

Conversion. If shares of a series of preferred stock are convertible into common stock or other of our securities or property, holders of depositary shares relating to that series of preferred stock will, if they surrender depositary receipts representing depositary shares with appropriate instructions to convert them, receive the shares of common stock or other securities or property into which the number of shares of the series of preferred stock to which the depositary shares relate could at the time be converted.

Amendment and Termination of a Deposit Agreement. We and the depositary may amend a deposit agreement, except that an amendment which materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of depositary shares, or would be materially and adversely inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the class of common stock or series of preferred stock to which they relate, must be approved by holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding depositary shares. No amendment will impair the right of a holder of depositary shares to surrender the depositary receipts evidencing those depositary shares and receive the common or preferred stock to which they relate, except as required to comply with law. We may terminate a deposit agreement with the consent of holders of a majority of the depositary shares to which it relates. Upon termination of a deposit agreement, the depositary will make the shares of common or preferred stock to which the depositary shares issued under the deposit agreement relate available to the holders of those depositary shares. A deposit agreement will automatically terminate if:

12

Miscellaneous. There will be provisions (i) requiring the depositary to forward to holders of record of depositary shares any reports or communications from us which the depositary receives with respect to the common or preferred stock to which the depositary shares relate, (ii) regarding compensation of the depositary, (iii) regarding resignation of the depositary, (iv) limiting our liability and the liability of the depositary under the deposit agreement (usually to failure to act in good faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct) and (v) indemnifying the depositary against certain possible liabilities.
