intends to offer and sell, subject to market and other conditions,
approximately $400 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible
senior notes due 2014 in an offering registered under the Company’s
currently effective shelf registration statement. The Company intends to

additional $60 million aggregate principal amount of notes solely to
cover over-allotments, if any. The Company intends to use the net
proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including

the election of the Company, cash, shares of D.R. Horton, Inc.’s common
stock or a combination of cash and shares. Holders of the notes would
also have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or
some of their notes upon the occurrence of certain fundamental change
events. The interest rate, conversion rate and other terms of the notes
are to be determined by negotiations between the Company and the
underwriters.
