Forestar Announces Pricing of $400 Million Offering of Senior Unsecured Notes
ARLINGTON, Texas – (Business Wire) – April 7, 2021 – Forestar Group Inc. (NYSE: FOR) (“Forestar”) today announced that it has priced an offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 3.850% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes were offered and will be sold in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The offering is expected to close on April 21, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.

Forestar intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund the redemption of its $350 million aggregate principal amount of existing 8.000% Senior Notes due 2024. Excess net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including to fund land acquisition and development activities.
The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration under, or an applicable exemption from, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which, or to any persons to whom, such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offers of the Notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.
