Each PSU granted on October 4, 2018 entitles a recipient to receive between 0% to 200% of the recipient’s Award Shares based on the Company’s achieving over the three-year performance period commencing on December 1, 2018 and ending on November 30, 2021 specified levels of (a) cumulative adjusted earnings per share; (b)average adjusted return on invested capital; and (c)revenue growth performance relative to a peer group of high-production public homebuilding companies. The earnings per share performance measure will determine 40%, the average return on invested capital performance measure will determine 35%, and the relative revenue growth performance measure will determine 25%, of the final number of shares of KBHome common stock that may be issued to each PSU. Each PSU recipient is also entitled to receive a proportionate amount of credited cash dividends that are paid in respect of one share of KB Home common stock with a record date between the grant date and the date the Committee determines the applicable performance achievements. If performance over the performance period for the three performance measures is below specific thresholds, each PSU recipient will receive no shares of KBHome common stock and no credited cash dividend amount.
