Supplemental Disclosures

 

On April 28, 2017, Forestar announced that William J. Powers, Jr. has notified the Company of his decision to retire from the Board of Directors upon the expiration of his term immediately following the Annual Meeting, and has decided not to stand for reelection to the Forestar board of directors at the Annual Meeting. As a result, all references to Mr. Powers as a director nominee should be deemed to be removed from the Proxy Statement. In light of the foregoing, the Board is now seeking, pursuant to Proposal No. 1, to elect only M. Ashton Hudson, Richard M. Smith and Phillip J. Weber to serve as directors until the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, or until their replacements have been duly elected and qualified.

 

The second paragraph of the section of the Proxy Statement entitled “ELECTION OF DIRECTORS” is superseded and replaced by the following:

 

“At the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, three directors are up for election. All of those director nominees, Mr. Hudson, Mr. Smith and Mr. Weber, if elected, will serve until the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders. All directors will be elected on an annual basis beginning with the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders.”

 

The second paragraph of the section of the Proxy Statement entitled “ELECTION OF DIRECTORS - NOMINEES” is superseded and replaced by the following:

 

“Mr. Hudson, Mr. Smith and Mr. Weber are standing for election as directors to serve until the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, or until their replacements are duly elected and meet all requirements. All nominees are presently serving as directors. After review of their qualifications, the Nominating and Governance Committee recommended them as nominees to the full Board, and the full Board subsequently voted unanimously to recommend them to the stockholders as nominees. We did not pay a fee to any third party to identify or evaluate or to assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees.”
