KB Home Upsizes and Amends Pricing and Other Terms
of Its Previously Announced Tender Offers
LOS ANGELES (February 1, 2012) KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the nations premier homebuilders, today announced that it has upsized, and amended certain pricing and other terms of, its previously announced cash tender offers for its 5 3 / 4 % Senior Notes due 2014 (the 2014 Notes) and for its 5 7 / 8 % Senior Notes due 2015 and 6 1 / 4 % Senior Notes due 2015 (the 2015 Notes).
Under the terms of the upsized tender offers, KB Home is offering to purchase for cash up to $100 million in aggregate principal amount (the Maximum 2014 Amount) of its 2014 Notes (the 2014 Note Tender Offer) and up to $340 million, less any amount accepted in the 2014 Note Tender Offer, in aggregate principal amount (the Maximum 2015 Amount) of its 2015 Notes on an equal-priority basis. The applicable upsized tender offers represent an overall increase of $90 million to the aggregate size of the tender offers as previously announced. In addition, KB Home has extended the early tender premium of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2014 Notes to the applicable expiration date of 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on February 15, 2012. Including the tender premium, holders whose 2014 Notes are validly tendered and accepted for purchase on or before such expiration date will receive total consideration of $1,010 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes. The early tender premium for the 2015 Notes was not extended. The minimum size of the previously announced financing condition has been increased such that the tender offers are conditioned on KB Homes completion of the proposed offer and sale of not less than $350 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured debt securities on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
All other terms of the tender offers previously announced are unchanged. In particular, the applicable Expiration Dates and Acceptance Priority Levels (as defined in the Offer to Purchase dated January 19, 2012 and the related Letter of Transmittal) are unchanged.
KB Home has retained Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC to serve as dealer managers for the tender offers. Global Bondholder Services Corporation has been retained to serve as the depositary and information agent.

None of KB Home, its board of directors, the depositary and information agent, the dealer managers or the trustee with respect to the 2014 Notes or 2015 Notes makes any recommendation as to whether holders of such series of senior notes, as the case may be, should tender or refrain from tendering all or any portion of the principal amount of such senior notes.
This announcement does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell securities. The tender offers are being made solely by means of the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal. In those jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky or other laws require any tender offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, such tender offer will be deemed to be made on behalf of KB Home by the dealer managers or one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction.
