(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)

Purchase Price for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, and accepted for purchase.

The “Purchase Price” for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer was determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the fixed spread specified above plus the yield based on the offer-side price of the U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified above, as quoted on the Bloomberg Bond Trader FIT3 series of pages, at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 11, 2025, the date on which the Tender Offer is currently scheduled to expire. The Purchase Price is based on a yield to May 15, 2025, the date of the next specified redemption price reduction under the indenture governing the Notes, and assuming the Notes are redeemed on May 15, 2025, at the specified redemption price for such date of 100.000% of the principal amount, as described in the Offer to Purchase.

In addition to the Purchase Price, holders whose Notes are purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest thereon from the last interest payment date up to, but excluding, the initial date on which Forestar makes payment for such Notes, which date is currently expected to be March 14, 2025, assuming that the Tender Offer is not extended or earlier terminated.

The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Offer Documents, copies of which may be obtained from D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender agent and information agent for the Tender Offer, by calling (866) 356-7813 (toll-free) or, for banks and brokers, (212) 269-5550. Copies of the Offer Documents are also available at the following web address: www.dfking.com/FOR; or by requesting via email at FOR@dfking.com.

The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 11, 2025, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Time”). Tendered Notes may be withdrawn at any time before the Expiration Time. Holders of Notes must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes (or comply with the procedures for guaranteed delivery) before the Expiration Time to be eligible to receive the consideration for their Notes. Guaranteed deliveries will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 13, 2025, unless the Expiration Time is extended.

Settlement for all Notes tendered prior to the Expiration Time or pursuant to a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery is expected to be March 14, 2025, assuming that the Tender Offer is not extended or earlier terminated.

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.
