Board Independence
Each year, the Board undertakes a review of director independence, which includes a review of each director’s responses to questionnaires asking about any relationships with us.
The Board reviewed director independence in January 2025 and determined that each of Ms. Banse, Mr. Gilliam, Mr. Hudson, Mr. Lapidus, Ms. McClure, Mr. Olivera, Mr. Smith, Mr. Sonnenfeld and Ms. Wolfe is “independent” under the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) corporate governance listing standards and the director independence standards set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are consistent with the NYSE standards. After considering any relevant transactions or relationships between each director or any of his or her family members on one side, and the Company, our senior management or our independent registered public accounting firm on the other side, the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that none of the independent directors has a material relationship with us (either directly, or as a partner, significant stockholder, officer or affiliate of an organization that has a material relationship with us), other than as a member of our Board. In determining whether Mr. Gilliam is independent, the Board viewed Mr. Gilliam’s position as a director of GMS, Inc. (“GMS”), a company that supplies drywall to Lennar, as not impairing his independence. The Board also considered that NES Fircroft, where Mr. Gilliam is Chief Executive Officer, and Visual Comfort & Co., from which Lennar purchases lighting products, are both subsidiaries of AEA Investors LP, of which Mr. Gilliam was a Managing Director and Operating Partner from November 2013 to November 2014, but did not view these relationships as impairing Mr. Gilliam’s independence. In determining whether Ms. McClure is independent, the Board viewed Ms. McClure’s position as a director of GMS as not impairing her independence. In determining whether Ms. Banse is independent, the Board viewed Ms. Banse’s position as an outside advisor to, and limited partner in, Mosaic, a third-party fund in which a Lennar subsidiary has an investment, as not impairing her independence.
Leadership Structure
Board of Directors
Mr. Olivera replaced Mr. Lapidus as our Lead Director, effective as of the conclusion of the 2024 Annual Meeting on April 10, 2024. The Lead Director presides over Board meetings and presides at all meetings of our independent directors. The Lead Director’s additional duties, which are listed in our By-Laws, include:
• |
|
at the request of the Board of Directors, presiding over meetings of stockholders; |
• |
|
conveying recommendations of the independent directors to the full Board; and |
• |
|
serving as a liaison between the Board and management. |
Our Board believes that having an Executive Chairman and an independent Lead Director, each with distinct responsibilities, works well for us because all but two of our directors (our Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer and our Co-Chief Executive Officer and President) are independent, and our Lead Director can cause the independent directors to meet in executive sessions at any time. Therefore, the Lead Director can at any time bring to the attention of a majority of the directors any matters he thinks should be addressed by the Board.
Management
Our Co-Chief Executive Officer management structure allows us to benefit from the expertise, leadership and collaborative working relationship of two homebuilding veterans, each of whom has been with the Company working side by side for over 40 years. In building and expanding the Company’s operations in a number of homebuilding markets, including California, Florida and Texas, through both organic growth and acquisitions, Messrs. Miller and Jaffe have developed deep institutional knowledge regarding all aspects of our Company, our markets, the challenges and expectations of our homebuyers, land sellers, trade partners and other parties, and strategies for how to meet them. The Co-CEO strategy allows full attention to the Company’s expanded geography and allows us to take full advantage of all opportunities in both established and newer markets. Messrs. Miller and Jaffe are in a unique position to use this institutional knowledge to support our continued future growth in both current markets and new markets. Moreover, having two

Compensation Discussion and Analysis Roles and Responsibilities with Regard to Compensation
We Maintain Strong Compensation Governance Policies
The compensation governance policies summarized below further align our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders.
Stock ownership guidelines. Each of our executive officers is required to own shares of our common stock with a value equal to a prescribed multiple of his or her base salary. All of the NEOs significantly exceed their minimum stock ownership requirements. For more information, see page 46.
No employment agreements. We do not have employment agreements or change in control agreements with any of our NEOs or other executive officers. This gives the Compensation Committee flexibility to change the components of our executive compensation program in order to remain competitive in the market and address economic conditions.
Double-trigger vesting requirement. All equity grants are subject to a “double-trigger” requirement to accelerate vesting in the event of a change in control. For more information, see page 45.
Compensation Clawback Policy. Our compensation clawback policy, which we also refer to as our Executive Officer Recovery Policy or our Clawback Policy, would allow us to recover from NEOs and other associates (in certain circumstances) incentive-based compensation granted under our 2016 Equity Plan and 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan, as may be amended or restated from time to time (“2016 Incentive Compensation Plan”). For more information, see page 46.
Roles and Responsibilities with Regard to Compensation
Role of the Compensation Committee
Our Compensation Committee annually evaluates and approves the compensation for our executive officers, including both Mr. Miller, our Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Jaffe, our Co-Chief Executive Officer and President. The Compensation Committee’s determinations regarding the compensation of our executive officers take into account a variety of factors. Among other things, the Compensation Committee looks at the compensation being paid by other homebuilders or companies with businesses similar to Lennar’s, and compensation being paid to other executives at Fortune 500 companies. The Compensation Committee also considers recommendations by Mr. Miller and Mr. Jaffe (except regarding themselves) and other members of our senior management and any other factors the Compensation Committee believes are appropriate.
Under the 2016 Equity Plan, the Compensation Committee is authorized to delegate all or a part of its duties with respect to awards to management (excluding any awards made to individuals subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act and awards issued to any person who was delegated authority to make awards). Under our 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan, the Compensation Committee is authorized to delegate all or a part of its duties with respect to bonuses under the plan to management.
Role of Management
Mr. Miller and Mr. Jaffe provide written background and supporting materials for review at Compensation Committee meetings and also attend those meetings at the Compensation Committee’s request. Typically, both Mr. Miller and Mr. Jaffe attend all regularly scheduled Compensation Committee meetings, but they are excused as appropriate, including, generally, for discussions regarding their own compensation. In addition, Mr. Miller and Mr. Jaffe provide information regarding, and make recommendations about, designs for (or changes to) our executive compensation programs. Finally, Mr. Miller and Mr. Jaffe provide the Compensation Committee with:
• |
|
evaluations of each named executive officer, including themselves; |
• |
|
recommendations regarding base salary levels for the upcoming year for each named executive officer, other than themselves; |
• |
|
an evaluation of the extent to which each named executive officer met the applicable annual incentive plan target(s); and |
• |
|
recommendations regarding the aggregate value of the long-term incentive compensation that each named executive officer should receive. |
Role of Compensation Consultants and Advisors
The Compensation Committee has the authority to engage the services of outside legal or other experts and advisors as it deems necessary and appropriate. As it has in the past, the Compensation Committee engaged FW Cook, in fiscal 2024 to assist the Compensation Committee with executive compensation matters. The Compensation Committee considered the work performed by FW Cook for the Company and determined that no conflicts of interest exist and that FW Cook is independent from management.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis 2024 Compensation Decisions
Annual Cash Incentive Compensation
Why we pay annual cash incentive compensation. The Compensation Committee believes that annual cash incentive compensation encourages executive officers to contribute to Lennar’s profitability. Our 2024 annual cash incentive awards were made under our 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan.
2024 Annual Cash Incentive Decisions
MESSRS. MILLER AND JAFFE
The cash bonuses for Messrs. Miller and Jaffe are based on percentages of our pretax income, which is net earnings attributable to Lennar plus/minus income tax expense/benefit (“Pretax Income”), after a capital charge equal to 7.3% of tangible capital and subject to a maximum payout cap. Pretax Income is calculated after eliminating goodwill charges, losses or expenses on early retirement of debt, impairment charges, and acquisition or deal costs related to the purchase or merger of a public company. Tangible capital is calculated as stockholders’ equity less intangible assets plus homebuilding debt. We believe that our executives’ pay should be linked to Lennar’s performance, and that linking the annual cash bonus to Pretax Income achieves this goal. For example, there have been years, such as fiscal 2008 and 2009 during the economic downturn, when these executives did not receive cash bonuses, and other years, such as more recent years, when Lennar has been profitable and the executives have received significant cash bonuses.
In January and April 2024, informed by feedback received during extensive outreach to stockholders, the results of the Company’s 2024 advisory vote on executive compensation, and consultations with its independent compensation advisor, the Compensation Committee determined that the cash bonus plans of Messrs. Miller and Jaffe should continue to provide for a cash bonus cap (originally introduced in November 2022) of $7.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively.
In addition, at that time, our Compensation Committee reviewed an analysis of the compensation Lennar paid to its senior executives compared with that paid by our Peer Group. This included an analysis of the fiscal 2023 compensation paid to Messrs. Miller and Jaffe as compared with the compensation paid in fiscal 2022 and 2023 to the individuals in comparable positions at companies in our Peer Group, in the Fortune 500, and in the Executive Compensation Survey conducted by FW Cook. Based on its review of the analysis, the results Lennar achieved during fiscal 2023, and the results Lennar was expected to achieve during fiscal 2024, the Compensation Committee decided to continue applying a formula for Messrs. Miller and Jaffe that included cash incentive bonuses equal to 0.20% and 0.15%, respectively, of Lennar’s fiscal 2024 Pretax Income, after a capital charge equal to 7.3% of tangible capital.
Using such formula, based on our fiscal 2024 Pretax Income of $5.3 billion, and after taking into account the $1.9 billion capital charge, Mr. Miller would have been entitled to a cash bonus payment of $6,828,309 and Mr. Jaffe would have been entitled to a cash bonus payment of $5,121,231. However, after careful review and discussion of the Company’s fiscal 2024 performance with management, the Compensation Committee exercised its negative discretion to reduce the cash bonus for each of Messrs. Miller and Jaffe. The amount of reduction was calculated for each of Mr. Miller and Mr. Jaffe by deducting from the Pre-Reduction Bonus, the product of (a) 15% and (b) the sum of the Pre-Reduction Bonus (i.e., $6,828,309 for Mr. Miller and $5,121,231 for Mr. Jaffe) plus the aggregate grant date fair value of the service-based and performance-based restricted stock awards that were granted to Mr. Miller and Mr. Jaffe, as applicable, on January 8, 2024 ($26,500,472 for Mr. Miller and $23,200,671 for Mr. Jaffe). This resulted in a final earned bonus of $1,828,992 for Mr. Miller and $872,946 for Mr. Jaffe. Despite the overall strong performance results in fiscal year 2024 (including surpassing the target number of homes delivered), our fiscal 2024 Pretax Income of $5.3 billion was lower than our goal by 0.5% and a continuation of the reduction experienced in fiscal year 2023, which we believe is partly due to external factors such as continuing rising interest rates and increases to material and labor costs.
38 | LENNAR CORPORATION 2025 PROXY STATEMENT
Compensation Discussion and Analysis 2024 Compensation Decisions
The Compensation Committee selected these performance metrics because as discussed below, they are effective long-term measures of performance, they align our executives’ interests with the interests of our stockholders, and they are important internal and external operating metrics. As noted in “Proxy Summary—Compensation Highlights” and elsewhere in this “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section, (1) the performance-based award target payouts for Messrs. Miller and Jaffe are at the 65th percentile; and (2) the payout level at threshold performance achievement is 30% of target for Messrs. Miller and Jaffe, strengthening the link between executive compensation and Company performance.
Gross profit percentage is an industry standard that research analysts and investors use to gauge the strength of businesses like ours because it shows whether costs are being managed effectively. A high gross profit percentage target incentivizes our executives to maximize our sales prices, control sales incentives, and minimize costs of sales, which include the costs of land, labor, materials, and products used in building our homes. A relative gross profit percentage metric indicates whether Lennar is managing costs and sale prices more effectively than our peers.
Return on tangible capital encourages our executives to focus on our returns and the efficient use of our assets and resources, while also driving earnings. A relative return on tangible capital metric indicates whether Lennar is using assets and resources more efficiently than our peers. Return on tangible capital is calculated by dividing the Company’s net operating profit after tax by its tangible capital. Net operating profit after tax is calculated by taking the Company’s net income and adding back any after-tax interest expense and adjusting for tax items or other adjustments to the extent approved by the Compensation Committee. Tangible capital is defined as stockholders’ equity less intangible assets plus homebuilding debt.
Debt/EBITDA multiple encourages our executives to maximize cash flow and reduce our leverage. Debt is calculated as the Company’s consolidated debt balance for the applicable period, divided by the Company’s EBITDA for such period. EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
Total stockholder return is a measure that captures stock price appreciation plus dividends paid over a defined period, reflecting the total return to stockholders during that time. A relative total stockholder return metric indicates whether an investment in Lennar was better for our stockholders than an investment in our Peer Group would have been.
The threshold performance levels outlined above are designed to be reasonably achievable, yet uncertain under expected market and business conditions at the time of grant. Target performance levels are designed to require significant management effort to achieve, and maximum performance levels are designed to be measurably more difficult to achieve than target performance levels.
Grants of service-based restricted stock
In January 2024, the Compensation Committee also approved a grant to Mr. Sustana of 10,382 shares of service-based restricted Class A common stock that will vest in equal installments on each of February 14, 2025, February 14, 2026, and February 14, 2027. The stock had a grant date fair value of $1,550,259.
In addition, in January 2024, the Compensation Committee approved a grant to Mr. Collins of 6,365 shares of service-based restricted Class A common stock that will vest in equal installments on each of February 14, 2025, February 14, 2026, and February 14, 2027. The stock had a grant date fair value of $950,471.
Effect of retirement on equity awards
Our 2016 Equity Plan provides that when an officer or associate retires, all restrictions on all restricted stock granted to that individual will immediately lapse and the restricted stock will no longer be subject to forfeiture. For this purpose, “retirement” is defined as a termination of service (other than for cause) on or after the date the grantee attains age 65 or on or after the date the grantee attains age 60 with 15 consecutive years of service with Lennar (“retirement-eligible”). Of our NEOs, Messrs. Miller, Jaffe and Sustana and Ms. Bessette are retirement-eligible. If any of them were to retire, his or her service-based restricted stock would immediately vest. In addition, when a retirement-eligible executive is granted shares of restricted stock that are subject to service-based vesting, these grants are taxable events subject to withholding. With respect to the 2022, 2023 and 2024 grants of performance-based share awards, if a retirement-eligible executive were to retire, he or she would receive the shares of performance-based share awards that he or she would have earned, based on actual performance, if he or she had remained employed for the entire performance period. The actual payout of shares would not occur until after the end of the three-year performance period, at which time the Company’s performance during the performance period would be used to determine how many shares the grantee would receive.

Relative metrics are determined by reference to Lennar’s Peer Group. |
In February 2024, the Compensation Committee reviewed the achievement of the performance goals over the three-year performance period. The Company’s relative gross profit percentage, relative return on tangible capital, and relative total shareholder return over the applicable performance period placed the Company’s final percentile rank achieved as compared to its peers at 78.7%, 67.9%, and 59.1%, respectively, which meant a final payout for each relative metric of 200.0%, 171.6% and 136.4%, respectively. Relative metrics are determined by reference to Lennar’s Peer Group: Beazer Homes USA, Inc., D.R. Horton, Inc., KB Home, M.D.C. Holdings, Inc., Meritage Homes Corporation, NVR, Inc., PulteGroup, Inc., Taylor Morrison, Toll Brothers, Inc. and TRI Pointe Homes. The Company’s debt/EBITDA multiple was 0.694, which meant a 200.0% payout for that metric. The average weighting of the four performance metrics resulted in a 177.0% payout. As a result, the total number of shares that each of Messrs. Miller, Jaffe and McCall and Ms. Bessette were entitled to receive was 138,231, 120,912, 18,668, and 21,337 shares, respectively, of Class A common stock. Since Messrs. Miller, Jaffe and McCall and Ms. Bessette had already been issued 78,097, 68,312, 10,547, and 12,055 shares, respectively, at target, those shares vested, and Messrs. Miller, Jaffe and McCall and Ms. Bessette were issued an additional 60,134, 52,600, 8,121 and 9,282 shares, respectively, of Class A common stock in settlement of the performance-based restricted stock unit portion of the performance share award.
In addition, Messrs. Miller, Jaffe and McCall and Ms. Bessette received accrued dividends on the 138,231, 120,912, 18,668, and 21,337 shares, respectively, of Class A common stock over the three-year performance period.
Other Benefits
Our NEOs are eligible to receive a match on their 401(k) contributions up to $17,250 for 2024 and $17,500 for 2025, and to participate in our active associate health and welfare benefits plans, which are available to all full-time associates. Under our flexible benefits plans, all associates are entitled to medical, vision, dental, life insurance, and long-term disability coverage. We also provide certain of our executive officers with a car allowance.
Change in Control Effects
Our 2016 Equity Plan provides for accelerated vesting of outstanding equity awards if there is a change in control together with certain employment termination events (i.e., a “double trigger”). You can find a summary of potential payments arising from a change in control in “Executive Compensation—Potential Payments Upon Termination after Change in Control” in this proxy statement.
Executive Transitions
Transition of Jeff McCall
Effective as of June 20, 2024, and as disclosed in the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on June 24, 2024, Jeff McCall, who had served as the Executive Vice President of the Company since January 2020, transitioned to a non-executive role as of June 20, 2024. As a result, as of June 20, 2024, Mr. McCall was no longer an executive officer of the Company or an officer for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Mr. McCall is remaining at the Company for a transition period through March 1, 2025, during which time he is assisting with the transition of his duties and responsibilities to other members of management and is also working on special projects. During the transition period, Mr. McCall continues to be eligible to receive the same level of compensation and benefits that
LENNAR CORPORATION 2025 PROXY STATEMENT | 45
We received the following stockholder proposal from The Comptroller of the State of New York, Thomas P. DiNapoli, Trustee of the New York State Common Retirement Fund (the “Fund”), 110 State Street, 14 Floor, Albany, NY 12236. The Fund has represented that it will meet SEC Rule 14a-8 requirements, including the requirement that it will continually own the required market value of our stock until after the date of the Annual Meeting. We have copied the text of the proposal (including title and stockholder-supplied emphasis) and the stockholder’s supporting statement as it was provided to us by the stockholder. All statements contained in a stockholder proposal and supporting statement are the sole responsibility of the proponent of such stockholder proposal. Following the proposal, we provide the Board’s recommendation to vote “AGAINST” the proposal.
RESOLVED, Shareholders of Lennar Corporation (Lennar) request the Board of Directors to report on the Company’s LGBTQIA+ equity and inclusion efforts in its human capital management strategy. In its discretion, the Board may wish to include in the report: whether the company has inclusive programs and nondiscrimination guidelines, the equality and inclusiveness of employee benefits, and the availability of employee support groups. Additionally, it may wish to disclose whether Lennar collects anonymized sexual orientation and gender identity data to guide talent development, increase productivity, and prove to consumers that inclusive teams are serving them.
This report, prepared at reasonable cost and omitting confidential or proprietary information, should be publicly disclosed to its shareholders.
SUPPORTING STATEMENT
According to recent Gallup polls the United States is experiencing a demographic shift. While 9.8% of Millennials identify as LGBTQ+, over twice that number, 22.3%, of Generation Z individuals identify as LGBT. About 22% of LGBT individuals report experiencing harassment or discrimination in the five years preceding 2023 and 47% experienced harassment or discrimination at some point in their lives, according to a national study conducted by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law.
Lennar recognizes the importance of inclusiveness in effective workforce management. In its 2023 Social Responsibility Report Lennar’s Executive Chairman and Co-CEO Stuart Miller stated “Our associates are our most valuable asset, and we are committed to building an inclusive and diverse workforce that supports each associate’s unique journey.” The Report highlighted Lennar’s “Everyone’s Included” mission: “[w]e are focused on attracting, retaining, and developing talent that will represent the communities which we serve[.]”
Numerous studies have pointed to the benefits of effective workforce management and found that companies can retain employees through inclusive policies. In addition, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation observed in its 2023 report,
Better Business: The Benefits of LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion: “Firms with LGBTQ+ inclusive practices show positive impact on profitability and market valuation. . . LGBTQ+ employees are more devoted to their jobs and are more productive in inclusive workplaces.”
Considering the Company’s support for the business case for inclusion, the Company’s support for inclusive policies, and the growing number of LGBTQIA+ individuals entering the workforce, we believe that it is in shareholders’ best interests for Lennar to report on the requested information.

Why did I receive this proxy statement?
You are receiving this proxy statement because you beneficially own shares of Lennar Class A or Class B common stock (or both) that entitle you to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Our Board of Directors is soliciting proxies to ensure that all of our stockholders can vote at the meeting, even if they cannot attend the meeting.
Who can attend the Annual Meeting?
The Annual Meeting will be held in virtual format only. There will not be a physical meeting location. Only stockholders and our invited guests can attend the virtual Annual Meeting. If you are eligible, you can attend. To attend the meeting at www. virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LEN2025, you must enter the control number on your Notice of Proxy Materials, proxy card or voting instruction form. The virtual meeting room will open at 10:45 a.m. Eastern Time. If you are a beneficial stockholder, you may contact the bank, broker or other institution where you hold your account if you have questions about obtaining your control number.
We encourage you to log in to the website and access the webcast early, beginning approximately 15 minutes before the Annual Meeting start time. If you experience technical difficulties, please contact the technical support telephone number posted on the virtual stockholder meeting log in page.
If I plan to attend the Annual Meeting, should I still vote by proxy?
Yes. Casting your vote in advance does not affect your right to attend the virtual Annual Meeting, or even to vote at the meeting. If you vote in advance and then attend the meeting, you do not need to vote again at the meeting unless you want to change your vote with regard to a matter.
How many votes may I cast?
For each matter presented at the meeting, you are entitled to one vote for each share of our Class A common stock, and ten votes for each share of our Class B common stock, that you owned at the close of business on February 12, 2025, the record date. On the record date, 232,685,409 shares of our Class A common stock and 31,660,558 shares of our Class B common stock were outstanding and are entitled to be voted at the meeting. Holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock have different voting rights but vote together as a single class.
What constitutes a quorum for the Annual Meeting?
We must have a quorum of stockholders present to conduct business at the Annual Meeting. Under our By-Laws, a majority in voting power, and not less than one-third in number, of the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum. All shares represented by proxy, even if marked as abstentions, will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present for quorum purposes. If we do not have a quorum, we will be forced to reconvene the Annual Meeting at a later date.
LENNAR CORPORATION 2025 PROXY STATEMENT | 77
Other Matters
What if I am a beneficial owner and I do not give my nominee voting instructions?
If you are a beneficial owner, your nominee has only limited discretionary authority to vote without your instructions. For Lennar’s forthcoming annual meeting, your nominee would only be able to vote your shares with respect to Proposal 3, the ratification of auditors, without your instruction. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a nominee does not vote a beneficial owner’s shares on a particular item because the nominee does not have discretionary voting authority for that item and did not receive voting instructions. Broker non- votes will be included in the calculation of the number of votes considered to be present at the meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but are not counted as votes cast with respect to a matter on which the nominee has expressly not voted, except with respect to proposal 4, for which any broker non-votes shall count as having the effect of an “AGAINST” vote.
What if I abstain on a proposal?
If you sign and return your proxy or voting instruction marked “abstain” with regard to any proposal, your shares will not be voted on that proposal and will not be counted as votes cast in the final tally of votes with regard to that proposal, except with respect to proposal 4, for which any abstentions shall count as having the effect of an “AGAINST” vote. However, your shares will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.
Can I change my vote after I have delivered my proxy?
You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting. You also may revoke your proxy by delivering a later-dated proxy. If you are a beneficial owner, you must contact your nominee to change your vote or obtain a proxy to vote your shares at the meeting.
Why didn’t I receive a printed proxy statement?
We have elected to furnish proxy materials to most of our stockholders online. We believe using electronic delivery rather than printing and mailing full sets of proxy materials will expedite your receipt of these materials while lowering costs and reducing the environmental impact of the Annual Meeting. We mailed the Notice of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access our proxy statement and annual report online on or about February 28, 2025. If you would like to receive printed copies of the proxy materials, the Notice of Proxy Materials explains how to do so.
If you want a printed copy of our fiscal 2024 Form 10-K as filed with the SEC, including the financial statements and schedule included in it, we are happy to provide one. Please send your request to Lennar Corporation, 5505 Waterford District Drive, Miami, Florida 33126, Attention: Investor Relations. In addition, that report is available, free of charge, through the Investor Relations—Financials section of our website at www.lennar.com.
I live with other Lennar stockholders. Why did we only receive one Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials?
We have adopted a procedure called “householding.” Under this procedure, stockholders of record who have the same address and last name will receive only one copy of our Notice of Proxy Materials unless one or more of these stockholders notifies us that they wish to continue receiving individual copies.
If you and other stockholders of record with whom you share an address currently receive multiple copies of the Notice of Proxy Materials, or if you hold stock in more than one account, and in either case you wish to receive only a single copy of future Notices of Proxy Materials for your household, please contact our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (in writing: P.O. Box 43006 Providence, RI 02940-3006, or by telephone: in the U.S., (800) 733-5001; outside the U.S., (781) 575-2879).
If you wish to receive a separate copy of the Notice of Proxy Materials or if you and other stockholders in your home wish to receive separate copies of the Notice of Proxy Materials in the future, please contact Computershare as indicated above.
Beneficial stockholders can request information about householding from their nominees.

The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the Dow Jones U.S. Home Construction Index, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the year ended November 30, 2024. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting November 30, 2020, through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the Dow Jones U.S. Home Construction Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance. |
5. |
We determined Pretax Income (as defined in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—2024 Compensation Decisions—Annual Cash Incentive Compensation” of this proxy statement) to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEOs and Non-PEO NEOs in 2024. We may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years. |
