SCHEDULE 13D Item 1. Security and Issuer The Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by the Reporting Persons on January 12, 2007 (as amended, the "Initial 13D"), as amended by amendment No. 1 thereto, amendment No. 2 thereto (which was inadvertently filed as amendment No. 3), amendment No. 3 thereto, and amendment No. 4 thereto filed with the SEC by the Reporting Persons on February 16, 2007, May 31, 2007, June 6, 2007, and June 11, 2007, respectively, and as amended by the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by the Reporting Persons, and certain affiliated parties, with the SEC on March 23, 2007, and as amended by amendments Nos. 1, 2 and 3 thereto filed by such parties with the SEC on May, 11, 2007, May 17, 2007 and May 21, 2007, respectively, with respect to the shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 (the "Shares"), issued by WCI Communities, Inc. (the "Issuer"), is hereby amended to furnish the additional information set forth herein. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Initial 13D. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction Item 4 of the Initial 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following: On August 20, 2007, Carl Icahn and certain of his affiliates terminated their solicitation of proxies in connection with the election of directors to the Board of Directors (the "Board") of WCI Communities, Inc. ("WCI") at WCI's 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2007 Annual Meeting"), pursuant to an agreement (the "Agreement"), by and among WCI and Icahn Partners LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund LP and High River Limited Partnership (collectively, the "Icahn Parties"). Pursuant to the Agreement, (i) the Board has duly adopted a resolution providing that immediately prior to the 2007 Annual Meeting the size of the Board will be decreased from ten to nine members, (ii) the Icahn Parties have agreed to withdraw their slate of directors in the existing proxy contest with WCI in connection with the 2007 Annual Meeting and (iii) WCI will nominate for election and approve at the 2007 Annual Meeting Don E. Ackerman, Charles E. Cobb, Jr. and Hilliard M. Eure, III, who currently serve on the WCI Board (collectively and together with their successors, the "Incumbent Nominees"), as well as three candidates designated by the Icahn Parties, Carl C. Icahn, Keith Meister and David Schechter (collectively and together with their successors, the "Icahn Nominees"). In addition, WCI and the Icahn Parties have agreed to nominate and approve Craig W. Thomas, a Portfolio Manager at S.A.C. Capital Advisors, LLC, Nick Graziano, a Managing Director of Sandell Asset Management Corp., and Yale Law professor Jonathan R. Macey (collectively and together with their successors, the "Other Stockholders Nominees"), each of whom will be nominated and approved for election as directors by WCI for election at the 2007 Annual Meeting. The Agreement also provides that the Icahn Parties will vote in favor of such nominees at the 2007 Annual Meeting and the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, unless WCI is subject to a proxy contest by a third party seeking to replace the Icahn Nominees or that would have the effect, if successful, of decreasing below 1/3, the percentage of the Icahn Nominees' representation on the Board. Also, pursuant to the Agreement, WCI has amended its poison pill to raise the trigger of the pill from 15% to 25% (and to exclude therefrom securities, including convertible securities, purchased from WCI pursuant to an offering by WCI to all of its stockholders). In addition, pursuant to the Agreement, WCI has amended its Third Amended and Restated By-laws (the "By-laws") to provide, among other things, that from the date of the 2007 Annual Meeting until immediately prior to the date of WCI's 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2009 Annual Meeting"), the affirmative vote of 88.88% of the authorized number of directors will be required to increase or decrease the size of the Board. The amendment to the Bylaws also established three nominating committees comprised of the Incumbent Nominees, the Icahn Nominee and the Other Stockholders Nominees that are from time to time members of the Board, and their successors, as applicable, with the exclusive power and the authority, from August 31, 2007 to the date immediately prior to the date of the 2009 Annual Meeting, (i) to each nominate three (3) persons for election as directors at WCI's 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and (ii) to fill any vacancies created in the Board and such committee resulting from the resignation or other cessation in service of any Incumbent Nominee, Icahn Nominee or Other Stockholders Nominee, respectively. These amended provisions of the Bylaws can be amended by the Board only by the affirmative vote of 88.88% of the total authorized number of directors. The Board of Directors, and not any committee thereof, will have the power to select the nominees for the management slate of directors for election at the 2009 Annual Meeting. In addition, the supermajority voting provisions of the By-laws described above will terminate prior to the 2009 Annual Meeting. WCI has also agreed, pursuant to the Agreement, that promptly following August 20, 2007, but in no event later than four (4) business days following August 20, 2007, WCI will publicly disclose (in its earnings call or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Icahn Parties) any and all non-public information concerning WCI that prior to the date of such public disclosure has been made available by or on behalf of WCI to the Icahn Parties or any of their affiliates, representatives, advisors, or financing sources, including without limitation, via access to WCI's data room site established in connection with WCI's recent auction process, that constitutes material non-public information concerning WCI. WCI has advised that all of such information will be posted on WCI's website promptly following its second quarter earnings release date, which WCI has previously announced is scheduled for August 22, 2007. Accordingly, any person wishing to view any such information should visit WCI's website at www.wcicommunities.com after August 22, 2007. The Agreement will terminate immediately before the 2009 Annual Meeting, or immediately following the 2007 Annual Meeting if the Icahn Nominees and the Other Stockholders Nominees are not elected to the Board or do not constitute two-thirds of the members of the Board. WCI and the Icahn Parties issued a joint press release (the "Press Release") in connection with the foregoing. Copies of each of the Agreement and the Press Release are filed as Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2 hereto, respectively, and each is incorporated herein by reference. Any descriptions herein of the Agreement or the Press Release are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Agreement and the Press Release, respectively, filed herewith. Representatives of the Reporting Persons have expressed to WCI, during discussions about settling the proxy contest, an interest in exploring the possibility of WCI making a rights offering to all WCI's stockholders and using all or a portion of the proceeds of the offering to reduce WCI's senior debt. The Reporting Persons believe that this may help strengthen WCI's balance sheet during current difficult economic conditions and which could position WCI to take advantage of market conditions when they improve, especially given that WCI's amended agreements with its senior lenders constrain, among other things, permitted housing inventory, and increases its cost of carrying such senior loans. However, the Reporting Persons made no firm determination as to the type of security which would be offered or whether a rights offering should in fact be made. Reporting Persons do expect that if the Icahn Nominees are elected to the Board, they will, subject to their fiduciary duties, raise the subject at a Board meeting.

ARTICLE III COVENANTS Section 3.1 Directors. (a) The Board has duly adopted a resolution providing that immediately prior to the 2007 Annual Meeting, the size of the Board shall be decreased to 9 members, and such resolution is in full force and effect and shall not be rescinded or modified. A true and correct copy of such resolution has been provided to the Icahn Parties.

Such nomination, recommendation and solicitation shall be effected in a reasonable manner and shall be undertaken for each such nominee in the same manner. The Icahn Parties will provide, as promptly as reasonably practicable, all information relating to the Icahn Nominees (and other information, if any) to the extent the Icahn Parties are advised by their legal counsel that such information is required under applicable law to be included in the Company's proxy statement and any other solicitation materials to be delivered to its shareholders in connection with the 2007 Annual Meeting or as may be reasonably requested by the Company. To the extent possible, the Company's proxy statement and/or soliciting materials for the 2007 Annual Meeting shall contain the same type of information concerning the Icahn Nominees and the Other Stockholders Nominees as provided for the Incumbent Nominees. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time prior to the 2007 Annual Meeting, the Board becomes aware of any fact with respect to any one or more of the Incumbent Nominees, the Icahn Nominees or the Other Stockholders Nominees that would be required to be disclosed in the Company's proxy materials (as amended or supplemented) under the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereof and which fact is not contained in the Company's proxy materials (as amended or supplemented), the Company shall immediately notify the Icahn Parties thereof and shall promptly amend or supplement the Company's proxy materials (as amended or supplemented) as may be required by the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereof.

If, prior to the 2009 Annual Meeting, any Incumbent Nominee once elected at the 2007 Annual Meeting or Continuing Incumbent Director elected at the 2008 Annual Meeting, as the case may be, resigns from the Board or ceases to serve as a Director, then the Incumbent Nominating Committee (and no other person, group or entity) shall select a replacement Director to fill the vacancy on the Board and the Incumbent Nominating Committee created thereby and shall nominate such replacement Director at the 2008 Annual Meeting, as applicable, and the Company shall take any and all action to fill such vacancy with such replacement Director and the Company shall take any and all action to nominate such replacement Director at the 2008 Annual Meeting, or, subject to the rights of the Incumbent Nominating Committee described above, to promptly appoint such replacement director if such vacancy exists after (i) the 2007 Annual Meeting and before the 2008 Annual Meeting or (ii) the 2008 Annual Meeting and before the 2009 Annual Meeting, if applicable. If, prior to the 2009 Annual Meeting, any one or more of the Other Stockholders Nominees once elected at the 2007 Annual Meeting resigns from the Board or ceases to serve as a Director, then the Other Stockholders Nominating Committee (and no other person, group or entity) shall select a replacement Director to fill the vacancy on the Board and the Other Stockholders Nominating Committee created thereby and shall nominate such replacement Director at the 2008 Annual Meeting, as applicable, and the Company shall take any and all action to fill such vacancy with such replacement Director and the Company shall take any and all action to nominate such replacement Director at the 2008 Annual Meeting, or, subject to the rights of the Other Stockholders Nominating Committee described above, to promptly appoint such replacement director if such vacancy exists after (i) the 2007 Annual Meeting and before the 2008 Annual Meeting or (ii) the 2008 Annual Meeting and before the 2009 Annual Meeting, if applicable; provided, that each of the Icahn Nominating Committee and the Incumbent Nominating Committee shall have approved any such replacement director(s) by by majority vote of each such committee; provided, further, that if the Icahn Nominating Committee and the Incumbent Nominating Committee do not so approve of any such person(s) within one (1) month after receipt of the name of the proposed person(s) in accordance with the foregoing proviso, in lieu of the approval right of the Icahn Nominating Committee and the Incumbent Nominating Committee, the entire Board of Directors shall have the right to approve of such person(s) by majority vote. The Company shall take any and all action to nominate such replacement Director at the 2008 Annual Meeting, or, subject to the rights of the Other Stockholders Nominating Committee described above, to promptly appoint such replacement director if such vacancy exists after (i) the 2007 Annual Meeting and before the 2008 Annual Meeting or (ii) the 2008 Annual Meeting and before the 2009 Annual Meeting, if applicable. From the date hereof until immediately following the completion of the 2008 Annual Meeting, the Company shall not oppose or direct, directly or indirectly, any other shareholder to oppose the Continuing Incumbent Directors, the Icahn Nominees or the Other Stockholders Nominees for election at the 2007 Annual Meeting or the 2008 Annual Meeting or nominate or direct, directly or indirectly, any other shareholder to nominate any person for election as director at the 2007 Annual Meeting or the 2008 Annual Meeting other than the Incumbent Nominees, the Icahn Nominees and the Other Stockholders Nominees. (c) Prior to the completion of the 2007 Annual Meeting, the Company shall not modify any of the current policies applicable to Directors of the Company. Promptly following the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than four (4) business days following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall publicly disclose (in its earnings call or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Icahn Parties) the information set forth on Annex A, which consists of any and all non-public information concerning the Company that prior to the date of such public disclosure has been made available by or on behalf of the Company to the Icahn Parties or any of their affiliates, representatives, advisors, or financing sources, including without limitation, via access to the Company's data room site established in connection with the Company's recent auction process, that constitutes material non-public information concerning the Company.

(NYSE: WCI) and affiliates of Carl Icahn today announced that they have agreed to a new composition for the WCI Board of Directors which will be submitted to shareholders for approval at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on August 30, 2007. As part of the agreement, the Icahn Group will withdraw its slate of nominees for the Board, effectively ending its proxy contest. Under the terms of the agreement, WCI will nominate for election and approve at the Meeting Don E. Ackerman, Charles E. Cobb, Jr. and Hilliard M. Eure, III, who currently serve on the WCI Board, as well as three candidates designated by The Icahn Group, Carl C. Icahn, Keith Meister and David Schechter. In addition, WCI and The Icahn Group have agreed to nominate and approve Craig W. Thomas, a Portfolio Manager at S.A.C. Capital Advisors, LLC, Nick Graziano, a Managing Director of Sandell Asset Management Corp., and Yale Law professor Jonathan R. Macey, each of whom will be nominated and approved for election as directors by WCI for election at the Shareholders Meeting. The Icahn Group has agreed to vote its shares in favor of this slate of nominees for the Board. In addition, pursuant to the agreement, the Company has agreed to raise the trigger under its limited duration Shareholder Rights Plan from 15% to 25% (and to exclude there from securities, including convertible securities, purchased from the Company pursuant to an offering by WCI to all of its shareholders). "The significant presence of large shareholders proposed for the new Board is a win for both WCI shareholders and the Company. I am confident the new Board will make the right moves to enable WCI to weather the difficult industry conditions it is facing today and position itself for a bright future," said Carl Icahn. "The current economic environment for our industry and company is challenging, and we believe it will be beneficial to move ahead together with Mr. Icahn and large shareholders as we address these market challenges. The top priorities of the new Board following the election of directors on August 30 include reviewing WCI's performance regarding its recently announced 2007 cash flow guidance and assessing the capital requirements necessary to assure WCI's ability to navigate these difficult market conditions and return to a growth mode when the market recovers. Based on this review, WCI will decide whether it should raise new capital to strengthen its balance sheet. In this regard, the Company will explore various alternatives, and the new shareholder representatives on the Board have expressed an interest in exploring a rights offering on terms and conditions favorable to all shareholders, should it be determined that additional capital is required," said Don E. Ackerman, Chairman of the Board of Directors.
