Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Item 3.03 below is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
On April 8, 2021, KB Home entered into an Amended Rights Agreement with Computershare Inc., as Rights Agent, following the approval thereof by KB Home’s stockholders at its 2021 Annual Meeting held on April 8, 2021 (“2021 Annual Meeting”). The Amended Rights Agreement amends the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated effective as of April 12, 2018, made by and between KB Home and the Rights Agent.

As with the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, the Amended Rights Agreement is intended to help protect KB Home’s deferred tax assets from an “ownership change” under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Amended Rights Agreement extended the latest possible expiration date of the rights issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement to the close of business on April 30, 2024, and made certain other related changes. Otherwise, the Amended Rights Agreement’s terms are substantively the same as those of the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement.

A copy of the Amended Rights Agreement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 4.1 to an Amended Registration Statement on Form 8-A/A dated April 12, 2021. The foregoing description of the Amended Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text thereof, which is incorporated herein by reference.
