The Toll Brothers Stock Option Exchange Program
Today we will be commencing the Toll Brothers Stock Option Exchange Program (“Exchange Program”). As you may recall, our stockholders approved the Exchange Program at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The purpose of the Exchange Program is to give eligible employees holding certain “out-of-the-money” stock options the opportunity to exchange those stock options for new options. These new options will provide employees with the right to purchase fewer shares at a lower per share exercise price.
This letter is being sent to you because you supervise eligible employees who may look to you for advice or guidance regarding the Exchange Program. This letter outlines some of the key features of the Exchange Program. You are receiving this letter so that you are familiar with the materials that your eligible employees will receive.
About the Exchange Program
The Exchange Program will begin today and will be open until Thursday, July 17, 2008 at 5:00 p.m. EDT, unless we decide to, or are required to, extend the Exchange Program. The Exchange Program is completely voluntary and is intended to restore the motivational and retention value of our stock option program. We are not encouraging or discouraging you or any other employee to participate in the Exchange Program. We urge all employees to read the Exchange Program materials carefully, consult their personal financial and tax advisors and come to his or her own decision about whether to participate in the Exchange Program.
An Overview of the Election Process
Eligible employees will be notified by e-mail today that the Exchange Program has commenced. They will also receive a package in the mail with all of the information related to the Exchange Program. This package will include a Highlights brochure, the Offering Memorandum and a personalized Election Form containing specific information on each individual employee’s eligible stock options.
Employees are encouraged to submit questions about the Exchange Program via e-mail to: OptionExchange@TollBrothersInc.com. Employees may also call (215) 938-5196 with questions about the Exchange Program.
