PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE: PHM) (the “Company”) today announced the early tender results for its previously announced tender offers to purchase for cash up to $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount (the “Aggregate Tender Cap”) of the Company’s 5.500% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and 5.000% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes” and, together with the 2026 Notes, the “Securities”).

_______________

1 The offers with respect to the Securities are subject to the Aggregate Tender Cap of $300,000,000.

2 Rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage point.

The tender offers are being made pursuant to an offer to purchase, dated May 16, 2024 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), which sets forth the terms and conditions of the Tender Offers. The purchase of the 2027 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the tender offers would cause the Company to purchase Securities with an aggregate principal amount in excess of the Aggregate Tender Cap. Accordingly, the 2027 Notes will be purchased on a pro rata basis up to the Aggregate Tender Cap in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the appliable “Proration Factor” for such series of Securities specified in the table above.

The consideration (the “Total Consideration”) to be paid for each series of the Securities that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable “Fixed Spread” for such series of Securities specified in the Offer to Purchase plus the applicable yield based on the bid-side price of the applicable “U.S. Treasury Reference Security” specified in the Offer to Purchase as quoted on the applicable Bloomberg Reference Page specified in the Offer to Purchase at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 31, 2024 (the “Pricing Date”). The Company expects to issue a press release on May 31, 2024 to announce the Total Consideration payable in respect of each series of the Securities that are accepted for purchase by the Company, including the respective Reference Yields (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) for each series of the Securities that will be used in determining such Total Consideration. It is anticipated that the settlement date for the Securities that were validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase by the Company will be June 4, 2024 (the “Early Settlement Date”).

Although the tender offers are scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 14, 2024, because the aggregate principal amount of Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date exceeded the Aggregate Tender Cap, there will be no Final Settlement Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), and no Securities tendered after the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase. Securities tendered and not purchased on the Early Settlement Date will be returned to holders promptly after the Early Settlement Date.

The tender offers are subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Company of certain conditions as set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The tender offers are not conditioned upon the tender of any minimum principal amount of the Securities, and neither of the tender offers is conditioned on the consummation of the other tender offer.
