Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 13, 2009, D.R. Horton, Inc. (the "Company") completed a public
offering of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.00% Convertible
Senior Notes due 2014 (the "Notes"), which includes the $50,000,000
over-allotment option that was fully exercised by the underwriters. The Company
received net proceeds from the offering, after the underwriting discounts and
commissions, of $487.5 million. The Notes are governed by an indenture dated as
of June 9, 1997 (the "Indenture") among the Company, the guarantors party
thereto and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee, as supplemented
by a Thirtieth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 13, 2009 (the
"Supplemental Indenture"), among the Company, the guarantors party thereto (the
"Guarantors") and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as trustee (the
"Trustee"). Interest on the Notes will accrue at a rate of 2.00% per annum on
the principal amount from May 13, 2009, payable semi-annually on May 15 and
November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2009. The Notes will mature
on May 15, 2014 (the "Maturity Date"), subject to earlier conversion or
repurchase. The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to the Maturity Date. The
Guarantors are substantially all of the Company's current homebuilding
subsidiaries.
Conversion Rights
Holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at their option at any
time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day
immediately preceding the Maturity Date. The initial conversion rate for the
notes is 76.5697 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal
amount of Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately
$13.06 per share of the Company's common stock. Such conversion rate will be
subject to adjustment in certain events but will not be adjusted for accrued
interest, including any additional interest.
Upon conversion of a Note, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may
be, cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination thereof at the
Company's election (the "Conversion Obligation"). If the Company satisfies its
Conversion Obligation solely in cash or through payment and delivery of a
combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, the amount of cash
and shares of the Company's common stock, if any, due upon conversion will be
based on a daily conversion value (as described in the Supplemental Indenture)
calculated on a proportionate basis for each trading day in the 20 trading-day
cash settlement averaging period (as described in the Supplemental Indenture).
Fundamental Change
Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental corporate changes, holders will
have the option to require the Company to purchase all or any portion of the
Notes. In such event, the Company must pay a purchase price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest,
including any additional interest. The Company will pay for any Notes
repurchased in such circumstances in cash.
Events of Default
The Supplemental Indenture includes customary events of default, including
payment defaults, failure to pay certain other indebtedness and certain events
of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization.
Ranking
The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and the
Guarantors. The Notes will be equal in right of payment with the existing and
future unsecured unsubordinated debt of the Company and the Guarantors, and
senior in right of payment to debt of the Company and the Guarantors that is
expressly subordinated to the Notes and the guarantees of the Notes. The Notes
will be effectively subordinated to all debt and other liabilities of the
Company's non-Guarantor subsidiaries. The Notes will also be effectively junior
to the rights of secured creditors to the extent of the value of their security
in the Company's assets.
The above description of the Notes and the Supplemental Indenture is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Supplemental
Indenture, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein
by reference.
