(1) On or after May 15, 2025, Forestar is entitled to redeem all or a part of the Notes, at a redemption price of 100.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the applicable redemption date. (2) Not including $667,000 in aggregate principal amount tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures, for which delivery of such Notes must be made by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 13, 2025.

The Tender Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 11, 2025 (the "Expiration Time"). Tendered Notes may not be withdrawn after the Expiration Time. As of the Expiration Time, Forestar had received tenders for an aggregate principal amount of $329,434,000 of the outstanding Notes, or 82.36% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding. These amounts exclude $667,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes that remain subject to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer to Purchase. Guaranteed deliveries will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 13, 2025.

Holders of the Notes validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer, will receive the purchase price of $999.46 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes accepted for purchase (the "Purchase Price"), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon from the last interest payment date up to, but excluding, the settlement date for all Notes tendered prior to the Expiration Time or pursuant to a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, which date is currently expected to be March 14, 2025.

Story Continues

There can be no assurance that any Notes will be purchased. The Tender Offer is conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the completion of a contemporaneous debt financing (the "Debt Financing") by Forestar on terms and conditions (including, but not limited to, the amount of proceeds raised in such financing) satisfactory to Forestar. The Tender Offer is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any debt instruments or otherwise an invitation to participate in the Debt Financing. The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered. The Tender Offer may be amended, extended, terminated or withdrawn. Forestar intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Debt Financing to pay the Purchase Price for Notes validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer.

From time to time, subject to applicable law, after completion of the Tender Offer, Forestar or its affiliates may purchase additional Notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender offers, exchange offers, or otherwise, or Forestar may redeem Notes that Forestar is permitted to redeem pursuant to their terms. Any future purchases may be on the same terms or on terms that are more or less favorable to Holders of Notes than the terms of the Tender Offer and could occur as soon as the Expiration Time. Any future purchases by Forestar or its affiliates will depend on various factors existing at that time. There can be no assurance as to which, if any, of these alternatives (or combinations thereof) Forestar or its affiliates may choose to pursue in the future.

Forestar has retained J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC to serve as Dealer Managers for the Tender Offer. Questions regarding the terms of the Tender Offer may be directed to J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Liability Management Group, at (866) 834-4666 (toll-free) or (212) 834-7489 (collect).

This press release shall not constitute an offer to purchase or the solicitation of an offer to sell the Notes or any other securities, nor shall there be any offer or sale of any Notes or other securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any jurisdiction.
