Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 14, 2012, D.R. Horton, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a public offering of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.375% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”). The Company received net proceeds from the offering, after the underwriting discounts and commissions, of $347.2 million. The Notes are governed by a Senior Debt Securities Indenture dated as of May 1, 2012 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 14, 2012 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), among the Company, the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”) and the Trustee. Interest on the Notes will accrue at a rate of 4.375% per annum on the principal amount from September 14, 2012, payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2013. The Notes will mature on September 15, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”), subject to earlier redemption or repurchase. The Guarantors are substantially all of the Company’s current homebuilding subsidiaries.

Optional Redemption

On or prior to June 15, 2022, the Company may generally redeem all or a portion of the Notes at any time at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount on the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus a “make whole” premium. On or after June 15, 2022, the Company may generally redeem all or a portion of the Notes at any time prior to the Maturity Date at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount on the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

Change of Control

Upon the occurrence of certain events resulting in both a change in control of the Company and a ratings downgrade, subject to certain exceptions, the Company will make an offer to each holder of the Notes to purchase all or any part of such holder’s Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.

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 rank senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness of the Company that is, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured indebtedness of the Company that is not so subordinated. The guarantees will be
