Item 3.01. | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On February 10, 2017, WCI Communities, Inc. (the Company) notified the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) that the merger (the Merger) of the Company with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lennar Corporation (Lennar) had become effective. As a result of the Merger, the Companys common stock, par value $0.01 per share (Company Common Stock), was converted into the right to receive cash. Because of that, (a) the NYSE will suspend trading in the Company Common Stock effective before the opening of trading on the trading day after the Merger, and (b) the Company notified the NYSE that it was withdrawing the Company Common Stock from listing on the NYSE. The Company and the NYSE will be making the necessary filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission to remove the Company Common Stock from listing on the NYSE and to terminate the registration of the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). The Companys obligation to file reports under the Exchange Act will be suspended when the Company files the application to terminate its registration under that Act.
Item 3.03 | Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders. |
On February 10, 2017, the Merger became effective, and, as a result, each share of Company Common Stock was converted into the right to receive $23.50 in cash.
On February 10, 2017, the Company, Lennar and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, entered into a Third Supplemental Indenture, which amended the Indenture dated as of August 7, 2013 relating to the Companys 6.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (the Notes), to add Lennar as a co-issuer of the Notes. In becoming a co-issuer, Lennar became entitled to all the benefits of, and assumed and became liable for all the obligations of the Company with respect to, the Indenture and the Notes.
Item 5.01 | Changes in Control of Registrant. |
On February 10, 2017, the Merger became effective, and the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lennar.
In connection with the Merger, Lennar paid, or expects to pay, a total of approximately $643 million in cash to the former holders of Company Common Stock, as well as to holders of rights under the Companys Long Term Incentive Plan, to holders of unvested restricted stock of the Company, and to holders of performance units and restricted share units that had been issued by the Company under incentive plans. Lennar obtained the funds it used in connection with the Merger from working capital and from proceeds from the recently completed issuance of $600 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.125% Senior Notes due 2022.
Item 5.07 | Submission of a Matter to a Vote of Security Holders. |
On February 10, 2017, there was a special meeting of the Company stockholders at which the stockholders were asked to vote on a proposal to adopt an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 22, 2016, among the Company, Lennar and two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Lennar (the Merger Agreement). The results of the vote were as follows:
For | Against | Abstained | Broker non-votes | |||
20,506,379 | 1,520 | 27,037 | 0 |
At the special meeting, stockholders were also asked to vote on a proposal to approve the adjournment of the meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there were not sufficient votes to adopt the Merger Agreement at the time of the meeting. The results of that vote were as follows:
For | Against | Abstained | Broker non-votes | |||
19,203,353 | 1,331,046 | 537 | 0 |
Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
On February 10, 2017, the Merger was approved by the Company stockholders and it became effective on that day. Lennar elected to pay the entire merger consideration in cash. Therefore, as a result of the Merger, (i) each share of Company Common Stock was converted into the right to receive $23.50 in cash and (ii) the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lennar. The Merger took place in accordance with the Merger Agreement. A definitive proxy statement relating to the Merger, which included the Merger Agreement as an exhibit, was filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 12, 2017, and is incorporated by reference in this Report.
