FORESTAR GROUP INC. (NYSE:FOR) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Merger Agreement

On June29, 2017, Forestar Group Inc. (the Company) entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with D.R.
Horton,Inc., a Delaware corporation (D.R. Horton), and Force
Merger Sub,Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of D.R. Horton (Merger Sub).

to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company
(the Merger), with the Company surviving the Merger (the
Surviving Company).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at
the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), each share
of the Companys common stock, par value $1.00 per share (Company
Common Stock) will be converted into the right to receive, either

(i)an amount in cash per share of Company Common Stock equal to
$17.75 (the Cash Consideration); or

(ii)one share of common stock of the Surviving Company (the
Surviving Company Common Stock),

in each case at the election of the holder of such share of
Company Common Stock, subject to proration procedures applicable
to oversubscription and undersubscription for Cash Consideration
by stockholders. The aggregate amount of Cash Consideration will
equal $558,256,373.

Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective
Time, each award made or otherwise denominated in shares of
Company Common Stock (an Equity Award) that is outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Companys
benefit plans shall be cancelled and of no further force or
effect as of the Effective Time. In exchange for the cancellation
of such Equity Award, the holder of such Equity Award shall
receive from the Surviving Company the Cash Consideration for
each share of Company Common Stock underlying such Equity Award
(plus payment of cash of all accrued dividend equivalents, if
any, with respect to such Equity Awards and, in the case of
Equity Awards that are stock options or stock appreciation
rights, less the aggregate exercise or strike price thereunder,
but not less than $0), whether or not otherwise vested as of the
Effective Time. With respect to any Company market-leveraged
stock units, the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject
to such Equity Awards shall be determined to the terms set forth
in the applicable award agreements and based on a per share value
equal to $17.75 plus reinvested dividends, if any.

Immediately following the Merger, subject to the terms of the
Merger Agreement, it is expected that D.R. Horton will hold
shares of Surviving Company Common Stock representing
approximately 75% of the outstanding shares of Surviving Company
Common Stock and the former stockholders of the Company will
hold, collectively, shares of Surviving Company Common Stock
collectively representing approximately 25% of the outstanding
shares of Surviving Company Common Stock.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to various closing
conditions, including but not limited to (i)approval of the
Merger Agreement by holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote on the Merger,
(ii)the absence of any law or order prohibiting the Merger,
(iii)the number of dissenting shares shall represent less than
20% of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to closing, (iv)the effectiveness of the Companys
registration statement on FormS-4 to register the shares of
Surviving Company Common Stock to be issued in the Merger and
approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the
Surviving Company Common Stock to be issued in the Merger, and
(v)the absence of a Company Material Adverse Effect, as defined
in the Merger Agreement.

The parties to the Merger Agreement have each made customary
representations and warranties. The Company has agreed to various
covenants and agreements, including, among others, (i)the
Companys agreement to


conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with
past practice during the period between the execution of the
Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger, and (ii)the
Companys agreement to not solicit proposals relating to
alternative transactions to the Merger or engage in discussions
or negotiations with respect thereto, subject to certain
exceptions. Each of the Company, D.R. Horton and Merger Sub
have agreed to various mutual covenants and agreements,
including, among others, (x)each partys agreement to use
reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary to
consummate and make effective the Merger as promptly as
practicable, and (y)each partys agreement to give prompt notice
to the other of the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any
event, which occurrence or failure to occur is reasonably
likely to cause failures of certain representations and
warranties to be true and correct or to cause material failure
to satisfy a covenant, condition, or agreement to be complied
with under the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains specified termination rights for
the Company and D.R. Horton, including a mutual termination
right in the event that the Merger is not consummated by
January25, 2018. The Company must pay D.R. Horton a $20,000,000
termination fee if D.R. Horton terminates the Merger Agreement
following a change of recommendation, or failure to reaffirm
the recommendation, of the Merger by the Companys board of
directors (the Board), or if the Company terminates the Merger
Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with a third
party with respect to a superior proposal, as set forth in, and
subject to the conditions of, the Merger Agreement. Under
certain additional circumstances described in the Merger
Agreement, the Company must also pay D.R. Horton a $20,000,000
termination fee if the Merger Agreement is terminated in
certain specified circumstances while an alternative
acquisition proposal to the Merger has been publicly made or
communicated to the Board and not withdrawn and, within twelve
months following such termination, the Company enters into a
definitive agreement with respect to a business combination
transaction of the type described in the relevant provisions of
the Merger Agreement, or such a transaction is consummated. The
Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the
Merger Agreement (i)in the event the Companys stockholders do
not approve the Merger, or (ii)by D.R. Horton in certain
circumstances involving a material breach by the Company of any
of its representations, warranties or covenants under the
Merger Agreement, the Company will be required to pay to D.R.
Horton up to $4,000,000 for expenses incurred by D.R. Horton
(with such payment credited to any termination fee subsequently
paid by the Company).

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. It is not
intended to provide any factual information about the Company,
D.R. Horton or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates.
The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties by
each of the parties to the Merger Agreement, which were made
only for purposes of that agreement and as of specified dates.
The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger
Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to
the Merger Agreement; are subject to limitations agreed upon by
the contracting parties, including being qualified by
confidential disclosure schedules; may have been made for the
purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to
the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as
facts; and are subject to standards of materiality applicable
to the contracting parties that may differ from those
applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the
representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions
thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or
condition of the Company, D.R. Horton or any of their
respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information
concerning the subject matter of the representations,
warranties and covenants may change after the date of the
Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not

Company and (b)June29, 2037.

Under the Master Supply Agreement, the Company will present to
D.R. Horton all lot development opportunities (subject to

develop that have been approved or conditionally approved by
the Investment Committee (a Forestar Sourced Opportunity); and
D.R. Horton shall have the right, but not the obligation, to

Opportunities: (a)any opportunities, developments or ventures
owned, under contract, the subject of a letter of intent or
otherwise being pursued, by the Company, as of the Effective
Time, or (b)any opportunities presented to the Company by a
third-party builder.

Forestar Sourced Opportunities and all D.R. Horton Sourced
Opportunities, after considering current and future market
conditions and dynamics. If the parties agree to pursue a
Forestar Sourced Opportunity or a D.R. Horton Sourced

the lots in each D.R. Horton Sourced Development, at the then

Sourced Development in which a D.R. Horton affiliate
participates as a buyer will be equitably allocated among D.R.
Horton and any other builders in each phase taking into
consideration the location, size and other attributes
associated with the lots. The agreement evidencing the ROFO for
the lots in the Forestar Sourced Development (the ROFO
Agreement), and the purchase and sale agreement for the lots in
the D.R. Horton Sourced Development (the PSA), will be
negotiated, finalized and executed as a part of the Development
Plan, and in all events the Development Plan will be finalized,
and the ROFO Agreement will be negotiated, finalized and
executed, prior to the expiration of the feasibility period in
any contract to acquire a Forestar Sourced Development. D.R.
Horton will assign to the Company on an as-is, where-is basis
the contract to acquire a D.R. Horton Sourced Development after
the finalization of the Development Plan and PSA for such D.R.
Horton Sourced Development.

direct, through its employees, agents and contractors, all
functions relative to diligence, entitlement, financing,
planning, design and construction of all on-site and off-site
improvements required for any development.

In addition to termination for breach or mutual agreement of
the parties, the Company may terminate the Master Supply
Agreement at any time that D.R. Horton and its affiliates
beneficially own less than 25% of the voting securities of the
Company.
