The description set out under “Item 5.03 — Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year” is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
In connection with the expiration of the Section 382 Rights Agreement, dated as of August 19, 2009, between D.R. Horton, Inc. (the “Company”) and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as Rights Agent (the “Section 382 Rights Agreement”), the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Certificate of Elimination”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 20, 2010. The filing of the Certificate of Elimination has the effect of eliminating from the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, all matters set forth in the Certificate of Designation, Preferences, and Rights of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the Company governing the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the Company, which was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on August 19, 2009. The Section 382 Rights Agreement, which was submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, expired in accordance with its terms on August 19, 2010 because stockholder approval was not obtained.
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Elimination does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Elimination, which was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 20, 2010, and is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
