TOLL BROTHERS, INC. ANNOUNCES EXPIRATION AND FINAL RESULTS OF
CASH TENDER OFFER FOR CERTAIN OUTSTANDING DEBT SECURITIES
Horsham, PA, October 14, 2009 — Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE:TOL), (www.tollbrothers.com) today announced the final results of the previously announced tender offer (the “tender offer”) by Toll Brothers Finance Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary, for up to $200 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”) and 5.95% Senior Notes due 2013 (the “2013 Notes” and, collectively, the “Notes”). The tender offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on October 13, 2009 (the “Expiration Date”).
Based on the final tabulation provided by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender agent for the tender offers, $114,032,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2012 Notes and $102,872,000 of the 2013 Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. Because the tender offer was oversubscribed, Toll Brothers Finance Corp. will accept for purchase $200 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes on a pro rata basis as described in the Offer to Purchase dated September 15, 2009, as amended by the press release dated September 28, 2009 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal. Toll Brothers Finance Corp. will purchase $105,135,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2012 Notes at a cost of approximately $112.2 million and $94,865,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2013 Notes at a cost of approximately $97.6 million (in each case, excluding accrued and unpaid interest) on the Payment Date (as defined below). Toll Brothers, Inc. expects to record a pre-tax charge of approximately $11.2 million in its fiscal year 2009 fourth quarter, representing the combined cost of the premium paid above par, the expenses of the tender offer and the unamortized issuance costs related to the retired debt.
Holders of Notes must have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn their Notes on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 28, 2009 (the “Early Tender Date”) in order to receive the total consideration for any Notes purchased in the tender offer as described in the table below. Holders of Notes who validly tendered their Notes after the Early Tender Date but before the Expiration Date will receive the tender offer consideration for any Notes purchased in the tender offer.
