Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 8, 2019, the stockholders of Century Communities, Inc. (the “Company”), upon recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), approved the Century Communities, Inc. Amended and Restated 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Amended 2017 Plan”) at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The Board previously approved the Amended 2017 Plan, subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders, on March 12, 2019.

The Amended 2017 Plan became effective immediately upon approval by the Company’s stockholders and will expire on May 7, 2029, unless terminated earlier by the Board. The Amended 2017 Plan incorporates an amendment to the number of shares of Company common stock available for issuance under the Century Communities, Inc. 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) by an additional 1.631 million shares. In addition, the Amended 2017 Plan reflects certain changes in light of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and its impact on Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 162(m)”).  These changes essentially eliminate language in the 2017 Plan that was included to allow the Company to qualify certain compensation as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m).  The Company retained, however, the annual award limits and performance measures as part of good corporate governance.

The Amended 2017 Plan also incorporates an overall non-employee director compensation limit of $400,000 per year or $600,000 in the case of a non-employee chairman of the board or lead director or in the fiscal year of a non-employee director’s initial service as a non-employee director. Finally, the Amended 2017 Plan increases the limit on incentive stock options commensurate with the overall share increase and expands the exceptions to the minimum vesting provision to allow for shares delivered in lieu of fully vested cash awards and vesting on director awards tied to the timing of the next annual meeting of stockholders which may be less than one year from the date of grant so long as the annual meeting is more than 50 weeks after the preceding year’s annual meeting.

The foregoing summary of the Amended 2017 Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amended 2017 Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. A more detailed summary of the Amended 2017 Plan can be found in the definitive proxy statement for the Company’s Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2019.

Item 5.07.
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The Company held its Annual Meeting on May 8, 2019.  As of the close of business on March 14, 2019, the record date for the Annual Meeting, there were 30,297,398 shares of Company common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share of Company common stock was entitled to one vote. Stockholders holding an aggregate of 27,220,669 shares of Company common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, representing 89.84% of the outstanding shares of Company common stock as of the record date, and which constituted a quorum thereof, were present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.
