1. Lennar announces an exchange offer for Millrose shares. 2. Lennar currently owns 20% of Millrose's outstanding shares. 3. The exchange offer starts immediately, expiring on November 7, 2025. 4. The offer includes a 6% discount for Lennar stockholders. 5. Completion depends on SEC approval amid a federal shutdown.
The exchange offer allows stockholders to benefit at a discount, potentially stabilizing Lennar's stock price as it facilitates liquidity and enhances shareholder engagement, similar to strategies employed by other successful companies during strategic equity matters. Positive market perception can enhance share value if executed properly.
The exchange offer fundamentally involves a significant action by Lennar, affecting its ownership and financial strategy, making it highly likely to influence stockholder sentiment and market perception, thus impacting LEN's price.
The impact will manifest as stockholders react to the exchange offer's potential benefits and risks, especially given the impending expiration date. The immediate market conditions and SEC decision timeline will influence short-term movements in LEN's stock price.
MIAMI, Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennar Corporation (NYSE:LEN) ("Lennar"), one of the nation's leading homebuilders, announced today its offer to exchange the approximately 20% it owns of the total outstanding shares of Millrose Properties, Inc. (NYSE:MRP) ("Millrose") for outstanding shares of Lennar Class A common stock (the "Exchange Offer"). In February 2025, Lennar completed the spin-off of Millrose through a distribution of approximately 80% of Millrose's stock to Lennar stockholders.
The Exchange Offer begins immediately and will expire on November 7, 2025, unless extended or terminated. The Exchange Offer enables Lennar stockholders to exchange shares of Lennar Class A common stock for shares of Millrose Class A common stock at a 6% discount, subject to an upper limit of 4.1367 shares of Millrose Class A common stock per share of Lennar Class A common stock tendered and accepted in the Exchange Offer.
Lennar will determine the ratio at which shares of Lennar Class A common stock and shares of Millrose Class A common stock will be exchanged by reference to the arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of shares of Lennar Class A common stock and Millrose Class A common stock on the NYSE during the three consecutive trading days ending on and including the second trading day preceding the expiration date of the Exchange Offer, which are expected to be November 3, November 4 and November 5, 2025, if the Exchange Offer is not extended or terminated. The final exchange ratio, reflecting the number of shares of Millrose Class A common stock that tendering stockholders will receive for each share of Lennar Class A common stock accepted in the Exchange Offer, will be announced by press release by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the trading day immediately preceding the expiration date of the Exchange Offer (which expiration date, if the Exchange Offer is not extended or terminated, will be November 7, 2025). The final exchange ratio, when announced, and a daily indicative exchange ratio beginning on the third trading day of the Exchange Offer period, will also be available at www.envisionreports.com/lennarexchange.
The Exchange Offer is being registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in a registration statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") filed by Millrose with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") today. The terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer are contained in the prospectus included in that Registration Statement (the "Prospectus") and a tender offer statement on Schedule TO filed by Lennar with the SEC today. Copies of the Prospectus, together with documents with which to tender shares, are being sent or made available to all Lennar Class A stockholders.
The Exchange Offer cannot be completed until the Registration Statement becomes effective. The SEC has announced that during the current U.S. federal government shutdown, the SEC will not declare registration statements effective. If the shutdown does not end by the anticipated November 7, 2025 expiration date, Lennar will either have to extend the expiration date or withdraw the Exchange Offer. If the shutdown is still in effect at midnight on October 31, 2025, Lennar will announce by 11:59 pm on October 31, 2025 whether it will (1) extend the Exchange Offer and, if so, the extended expiration date, or (2) terminate the Exchange Offer.
The completion of the Exchange Offer is subject to certain conditions. Lennar can withdraw the Exchange Offer at any time before it accepts tendered shares.
Lennar currently owns 33,298,764 shares of Millrose Class A common stock as of October 7, 2025, representing approximately 20% of the outstanding shares of Millrose Class A common stock. Lennar is offering to exchange up to all of these shares for outstanding shares of Lennar Class A common stock. If the Exchange Offer is consummated but not fully subscribed, Lennar intends to dispose of the shares of Millrose Class A common stock that were not exchanged through a subsequent spin-off, split-off, public offering, private sale or any combination of these potential transactions. If Lennar stockholders tender shares that would entitle them to receive more shares of Millrose Class A common stock than Lennar owns, Lennar will accept only a pro-rata portion of the shares that are tendered by each Lennar stockholder.
The Exchange Offer is voluntary for Lennar Class A stockholders. No action is necessary for Lennar Class A stockholders who choose not to participate. No offer is being made to holders of Lennar Class B common stock, and such holders are not eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are serving as dealer managers for the Exchange Offer. Vestra Advisors, LLC is acting as exclusive financial advisor to Millrose.
