Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 24, 2016, Lennar Corporation (the “Company”) amended the credit agreement governing its unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to increase the maximum potential borrowings from $1.6 billion to $1.8 billion and extend the maturity of the Class A lenders’ commitments, which are currently $1.3 billion of the Credit Facility, from June 2019 to June 2020. The Class B lenders’ commitments, which currently are $160 million, terminate in June 2018. The $1.8 billion includes a $318 million accordion feature, subject to additional commitments.

The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) is among the Company, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as swingline lender, issuing lender, and administrative agent and the several lenders from time to time parties thereto. The Credit Facility consists of a revolving loan under which amounts may be borrowed, repaid and redrawn. The proceeds available under the Credit Facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Guarantee Agreement (the “Guarantee Agreement”), dated as of June 24, 2016, in which substantially all of the Company’s wholly-owned homebuilding subsidiaries and some of the Company’s other subsidiaries guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement. The descriptions of the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full and complete terms contained in the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee Agreement, each of which is an exhibit to this Report on Form 8-K.

The Company and certain of its affiliates from time to time enter into commercial financial arrangements with almost all the lenders under the Credit Facility and/or their respective affiliates, and affiliates of some of the lenders provide financial, advisory, investment banking and other services to the Company and its affiliates. In addition, affiliates of certain of the lenders serve as underwriters of Company’s issuances of senior notes.
