DEBT AND CASH: As a result of the increase in the size of the transaction, the following financial items will be reflected under the headings “Summary” and “Risk factors” of the Prospectus Supplement:


At December 31, 2016, on an as adjusted basis to give effect to the offering and the use of proceeds therefrom as described under the headings “Use of proceeds” and “Capitalization” of the Prospectus Supplement:

 

    the principal amount of our homebuilding debt would have been $3,419.6 million (including the notes, but excluding indebtedness relating to our mortgage banking operation and letter of credit facilities of our Unrestricted Subsidiaries, as defined under “Description of 2024 notes-Certain Definitions,” with respect to the 2024 notes and “Description of 2026 notes-Certain Definitions,” with respect to the 2026 notes);

 

    we and the subsidiary guarantors would have had $3,754.5 million in principal amount of debt outstanding (which is comprised of the homebuilding debt (including the notes) described above and $334.9 million of intercompany indebtedness to our subsidiaries that are not subsidiary guarantors), all of which is unsecured and would rank equally with the notes;

 

    we would have had $637.9 million of borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility;

 

    the maximum aggregate amount of indebtedness under our indentures and senior credit facilities that we could be required to repurchase or repay upon:

 

    a change of control triggering event was approximately $2,676.5 million, and

 

    a change of control without a ratings decrease event (and therefore without a requirement to purchase the notes offered hereby) was approximately $745.5 million;
