Item 8.01.

Other Events.

On October 5, 2017, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 29, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among D.R. Horton, Inc. (the “Company”), Forestar Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Forestar”), and Force Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), the Company completed its acquisition of approximately 75% of the outstanding shares of Forestar’s common stock pursuant to a merger of Merger Sub with and into Forestar, with Forestar continuing as the surviving corporation and a subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

At the effective time of the Merger, each share of Forestar’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the Merger (other than excluded shares) automatically converted into the right to receive, at the election of the applicable Forestar stockholder, either an amount in cash equal to $17.75 or one new share of Forestar common stock. The elections were prorated to ensure that, as a result of the Merger, the Company would own approximately 75% of Forestar’s common stock and Forestar stockholders immediately prior to the Merger would own approximately 25% of Forestar’s common stock. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company in the Merger was approximately $558,256,373 and the Company received 31,451,063 shares of Forestar common stock pursuant to the Merger. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement, the Merger, and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2017 (the “Initial Form 8-K”).

Concurrently with the closing of the Merger, the previously announced Stockholder’s Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2017, between the Company and Forestar (the “Stockholder’s Agreement”) and the previously announced Master Supply Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2017, between the Company and Forestar (the “Master Supply Agreement”), each became effective. The terms of the Stockholder’s Agreement and the Master Supply Agreement were previously disclosed in the Initial Form 8-K, and the Stockholder’s Agreement and the Master Supply Agreement were filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 thereto, respectively.

On October 5, 2017, the Company and Forestar issued a joint press release announcing the consummation of the Merger. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
