On August 3, 2023, Lennar Corporation (the “Company”) announced that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, upon the recommendation of the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, had elected Serena Wolfe to serve as a director, effective September 2, 2023, for a term of office expiring at the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”), at which time her continued Board service will be subject to stockholder approval. Ms. Wolfe has not been assigned to any committees of the Board.

Ms. Wolfe has served as Chief Financial Officer of Annaly Capital Management, a leading diversified capital manager with investment strategies across mortgage finance, since December 2019. Prior to joining Annaly in 2019, Ms. Wolfe had served as a Partner at Ernst & Young (“E&Y”) since 2011.

Ms. Wolfe has nearly 25 years of experience in accounting, of which 18 years were focused solely on the real estate and financial services sectors.

The Board has determined that Ms. Wolfe qualifies as independent under the independence standards set forth in the corporate governance listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Wolfe and any other persons with respect to her election as a director. Neither Ms. Wolfe nor any immediate family member of Ms. Wolfe has been a participant in any transaction or currently proposed transaction with the Company that is reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Consistent with the Company’s other non-management directors, Ms. Wolfe will participate in the Company’s outside director compensation program, which provides that directors receive an annual equity grant of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Class A Common Stock”), an outside director retainer of $140,000 paid in $35,000 quarterly increments, half in shares of Class A Common Stock and half in cash, and committee fees, as applicable. Ms. Wolfe will receive the prorated portions of the annual equity grant of Class A Common Stock and the outside director retainer based on her period of service until the 2024 Annual Meeting.
